a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me becky erin good to have you with us this hour now president trump has threatened to cut aid to un members who vote in favor of a resolution condemning america's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us where we're watching those votes lead a vote against us will serve a lot now we've heard these threats from donald trump and we've also heard threats from nikki haley according to her twitter she will be quote taking names at the upcoming vote in the united nations general assembly there's also a document that's been released in the authenticity of this document is not yet been confirmed but it appears that the usa is threatening to cut off the aid of countries that vote against the united states at the upcoming general assembly vote

now this is going to be a non-binding vote now this comes just a few days after we saw some drama at the united nations security council resolution was put forward by egypt condemning the recent move of the united states recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and in response to that we saw it fourteen to one with every other member of the u.n. security council voting against the resolution but the usa stepping in to veto it this is some of what occurred at the u.n. security council of jerusalem as the future of. the should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and a decision and actions which purport to the current term status of jerusalem have no legal effect any unilateral actions increase the reach a critical issue because we support the just cause of restoring the truth from a national rights of the palestinian people now the upcoming vote at the united

nations general assembly is along similar lines the resolution criticizes the recent move by the united states to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital so as we see these threats from tromping these threats from nikki haley this talk of taking names this document claiming that donald trump will be taking it personally the way countries vote were forced to ask ourselves if u.s. leaders are really acting diplomatically or if they are being reduced to rather threaten. behavior in response to the upcoming vote in the general assembly here at the headquarters in new york turkey has hit back at what it calls threats from washington over the un with ankara calling on its nato ally to change course. when i came as a new day of rage was declared by palestinians and their fresh wave of protests hit the city of bethlehem.

with. mass demonstrations also took place in the west bank city of ramallah on wednesday protesters reportedly three mollett of cocktails and stones at soldiers who responded with rubber bullets and tear gas maria for national has been in the city for us. this is another day of rage here in the west bank city of ramallah the capital of palestinian authority there have been many days like this following the law trumps a controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel palestinians as you know consider the eastern part of the holy city to be zero turturro and of course they have been encouraged dramatically by these announcements they have been violent protests all over the world among palestinians and those who sympathize with that of course here in palestinian would you go

forward we hear that the run hundreds of protesters participated in today's event and again. now. this officer is talking to journalists saying that we have to have to move if this is our ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you wouldn't. well you can follow maria on twitter for all of us from ramallah. now wiltshire bound palestinian man who died in clashes with israeli police is becoming a symbol of the resistance to president trump's announcement on jerusalem the un human rights chief has called for an impartial investigation into his death the ied ryad al hussein added that there is strong suggestion that the force used against the victim was excessive here's a look at the events surrounding his death. yesterday

my brother said to me while he was eating dinner with his brother forgive me this is the last night you see me as i intend to be a martyr i'm bored of this life i have no legs and i have nothing i want to die and rest from. that from the beginning it was shopped and had between his eyes was behind pushing his group chair and ducked behind them to scare the pants.

it. was that was but not right now that. we discussed the situation with a senior leader of the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and an arab affairs commentator for the israel today newspaper. decision that was taken by the trumpet ministration is very shameful act and it is in concert contrary to. international. norms the united states should. go back on this decision and we think that the palestinians should be expected to swallow this aggression on the holy city in a way that slaves will. accept the

orders of their masters so we go we have a peaceful protest against this decision and this peaceful protest is being as i said by the israelis and this is what calls for the. as collation of this spiral of violence the question is whether the raw yachts of this protest of some states in the world can change. and historical and religious fact that jerusalem is actually do ya capital of. these people are acting and they are paid to do so this is actually and i am sorry to mention this this is the fact that people in the west bank has actually reached to the conclusion that nothing can change reality jews are in the capital of the israeli state and those

who are paid are pushed into the garage but they know very well and i can tell you for sure that the palestinian authority know. very well and they are sure that if things are getting out of control they are the ones to lose. ten times more civilians may have been killed during the u.s. led operation to liberate the iraqi city of mosul than previously thought. that's according to new research by associated press but he's agency obtains data from iraqi morgues as well as non-governmental organizations and says that as many as eleven thousand civilians may have been killed during the nine month operation nearly a third of those were as a result of iraqi and coalition forces bombing the u.s. however acknowledges just three hundred twenty six death. has more details. the associated press's counties arguably review out of date if you consider the people

that have died as a consequence of the battle of millions so just this morning we got a clue the three moved children were killed there when the exploded bam detonated under the wreckage of the house that they were playing on and such explosions and every day occurrence whether bams left behind by isis or unexploded bombs dropped by u.s. led coalition or iraqi jets nevertheless this count is ten times higher than official estimates we got from the iraqi government the u.s. led coalition really even the united nations to associated press says that there was ninety eleven thousand civilian casualties through a three thousand book by the u.s. led coalition. the rocky air force previously the u.s. led coalition said that it was responsible for new movement three hundred twenty or so deaths it clearly didn't have the resistance to send investigators to look at

every reputed incident this you see the press site it is it services various human rights agencies as well as an official body count def timings and there were two paths for iraqi moves but the number itself is entirely surprising he's deemed to move slowly seem like a city of two million has been turned into this is a city of two million that is being leveled he spooks rescue is this morning there is still digging bodies out of missile that say the city of memphis which suffered the worst of the fighting the worst of the battling is still largely rick and there's a smell that is humming misty for months and months and then years as some clips from the reports we've sent from mosul over the last year injuries astronauts. corpse's cross this is the reality of war what you will likely haven't

heard of is the smell it's noisy eating repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink the sick the smell of rotting bodies this is what rescuers have collected just this morning three suspected isis fighters two women and two children. that's an iraqi. launching missiles. at isis targets in and you can hear isis small arms fire there targeting the helicopter and over there six seven hundred meters away is the aftermath of an airstrike that hit minutes ago just before we got here no wonder he's off to rule

a city of corpses more i guess d.m. . from mosul iraq we spoke to mohammed circle the u.n. coordinator for the salon for democracy and human rights group he told us high rates of civilian casualties were inevitable as the coalition made indiscriminate use of weapons in densely populated civilian areas. the last report by the u.n. in me has addressed six thousand they were killed by a terrorist group by isis let alone by the numbers by the coalition groups especially against civilians because as you stand most of them are terrorist groups who were hiding within the civilians houses or to consider. shields not doubt. their weapons are being used by the coalition especially by the u.s. army is does not discriminate between civilian or terrorist or by civilians or the

isis because they used. a number of weapons but there's not. such a terrorist as you stand this is a terrorist groups not an army where they clearly indicate the targets of the weapon they were used by the u.s. usually is used on a wide areas and also if you use if you look at the mosul as a city is very concerned very populated area is not an open space where you can target easy terrorist groups so they were targeting houses they were targeting. small rows that were taken small neighborhoods this again the question is raised again why it does not as a thing. independence and instigation by the u.n. to look into how the operation has been handled meanwhile in iraqi kurdistan five

people have reportedly been killed by security forces during anti-government protests a further one hundred have been injured the demonstrators are demanding the resignation of the kurdish regional government the unrest started on monday when crowds attacks the headquarters of the region's political parties tensions have been increasing in iraqi kurdistan since it's failed independence referendum in september which led to a swift retaliation from. that. what i'm a person has urged to russia's security services to create a safe barrier against foreign interference in the country's society and politics his comments come ahead of next year's presidential election if i tried to has the details lot of our program in his speech was talking to those who work in intelligence and security this wednesday is a professional holiday for these people in russia in fact the russian security service is marking exactly one century of its existence so on this special

occasion mr putin did something he doesn't often do the president directly accused foreign intelligence of interfering or meddling in russia's own affairs not that i've rarely heard words interference or meddling from others but back to mr approach to this because you know. there is a great responsibility on the intelligence services to put up a safe barrier against external meddling in our social and political life and to counteract the work of foreign security agencies which and it's no secret are doing all they can to ramp up their activities in russia it's no secret that throughout the last couple of years whenever and wherever there was an election or a major referendum eventually you'd hear some sort of news about investigations into alleged russian meddling or interference some sort of way of trying to pull the strings but in this case lattimer potent is talking about possible similar

attempts and russia where the presidential campaign just kicked off a couple of days ago. facebook has been accused of abusing its market position in germany and have a limitless a collection of uses data peter oliver explains. well this all comes out of a statement from the wonderfully named federal cartel office there the main competition watchdog here in germany they slammed facebook saying that its users have no idea and have given no consent for the levels of data from them which is being tainted by the social network and that is then being used to target adverts directly at them we mostly concerned about the collection of data outside facebook's social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook account we're not convinced the users have given their effect of consent to facebook's data tracking and merging of data into their facebook account well it also comes as

facebook's been accused of being overly intrusive after introducing new facial recognition software that can recognize a person's face even if they haven't been tagged in a picture it's worth noting this investigation is ongoing here in germany by the competition watchdog they say they are looking into how data is obtained but they're more looking into the fact that facebook seems to sit by and what should observe our lives and interests and then gets information that way for facebook's part they say that the federal cartel office have misrepresented them by saying that they dominate the social media remit here in germany as far as facebook a concerned there are alternatives that and if there wasn't alternatives only then would they be dominating it's put across what we are seeing and what we have seen already is sharing data with a third party here in germany is illegal and it's becoming more and more of an

issue and more focus falling on social media outlets not just here in germany but across widely europe if we look over in france that's where what's up with the messaging application is facing a fine from the french authorities that's after they shared their users data with facebook and of course if we do remember facebook bought. bought out what's up buck in twenty fourteen what we wouldn't expect from this report when it's published in full in the summer is a fine for facebook but what we're hearing from the main competition watchdog here in germany is they're going to tell facebook they need to change the way they go about doing things when it comes to their users personal data. russia will remain banned from the upcoming winter paralympics in south korea the international paralympic committee will make a final decision on the russian team in late january that's just a month before the competition starts and a situation in reports the international paralympic committee here in london has

announced their decision to maintain the suspension of the russian paralympic committee when it comes to the upcoming games and chang and twenty eighteen this leaves the russian athletes really holding their breath until more or less the last minute to find out whether or not they're going to be able to participate in those games another part of this decision announced today has been that they're going to maintain a measure that was implemented earlier in september that in for sports russian athletes are going to be able to qualify in advance under a neutral flag which is quite important and those sports include cross-country skiing alpine skiing snowboarding and the buy off line it has been said that five criteria are still not being met by russia for the russian parliament committee to be reinstated but this comes after the international olympic committee banned russia from participating in the twenty eighteen winter olympics however

clean athletes will be allowed to compete and a neutral flag as we heard the final decision about russia's participation in the paralympics will be made in late january not long before the games start but craig spence from the international paralympic committee doesn't believe this will have a negative impact on the russian team. but i think this decision by you see the facts that. if anything gives them an opportunity for the russian paralympic committee to me to reinstate crisis here in time. you've got to understand this is a situation that has been tossed upon us the russian paralympic committee was trying sixteen. fire a criteria to meet the clock is ticking the box here is very much in the cards of the russian paralympic committee and the russian authorities. most of. our guys are being deprived of their dream some have just one chance some might

have another but they've been preparing for the games for them they are a life goal for many guys with disability sport is the only thing they can do and this dream is being taken away. with it was it was just watching the put it on the power goes need strong support and with this huge pressure from the i.p.c. they're doing very well though i'd like to avoid all those who have legacy of attitudes towards them towards or training camps to see how they train and why they have excellent results this has nothing to do with. what daniel hawkins and alan moore thoughts host on capital f.m. joined kate partridge in the studio earlier to discuss the aipcs decision while there were only three options really available to the r.p.c. in this case which was lift about all together maintain status quo which is what's happened or perhaps go for a third option of allowing athletes of prove their claim to participate under neutral flag as the doing already but if you look at some of the statements that

have come out from before president phillip craven for example i believe earlier this year is demanding that russia prove not only that their sport is clean but that their nation is clean we can actually take a listen to that now. we care about how the russians completing it so they got it the right policy but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation i mean you can take that to mean what you will but certainly questions are raised what exactly you mean xylem and some of you know the measures that russia have taken happen quite conference in fighting these allegations of doping in terms of a clean nation this could mean anything by we've got very change of weather here in moscow at the moment so it could be that the roads are too reduced it makes no sense whatsoever and i think that mr craven he's been well known to be not a fan of russia so you know if you like clean athletes come from a clean nation if you want sex and that kind of like you know link of your just

kind of a leap from one factor of. ten to nation screen one thing i couldn't quite get my head around with this decision was kind of it's a lack of a decision it's a delay they've made a decision in the i.o.c. the i.o.c. say that ok we have a system here now that we think is what they say it's a presumption of innocence therefore russians who can prove that they can take part in the olympics so one of the paralympics you know this is the greatest event for a minute these people's lives and we know in every society people who compete to scores and partly because they you know this is one way de can be included in society has made great strides and two weeks ago they had a big switch basically was the biggest ever gathering of people. who were invalids in russia where they came from all over russia to take part in your work work skills in sports as well you know it started in japan know in russia how it's it was the biggest ever gathering globally so russia's be huge strides to get this

inclusive and for people with difficulties whether it be education or physical and no to being told sorry you're not good enough final decision as you say well. be in general not just a few weeks before the actual event itself so that these athletes are neither here nor there to be trained to be prepared and we will go under a neutral flag or what's going to happen and it's affecting athletes really a decision may well be taken that will allow the thieves to go and compete neutrally certainly this is a psychological burden for those athletes you know will it be allowed to attend those games at all should they be training for those games it's something we'll find out next month i'll be back at the top of the hour the had lines.

the single most important social equalizer of our time the internet is under grave threat the decision by the federal communications commission essentially gives internet service providers the keys to the internet without net neutrality will be economic opportunity only widen for all. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do it on like i said nobody over the case and i don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if you believe the charge or not they're actually paying us to put it back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the usa in breach what secret is behind such success.

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to meet people themselves with simple song alone events like company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over their utilities any part of telus drop off a leg from a cigar so you got a book on the back of my because. this is. the quote them out. for you man but the lift hill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than law it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. perks and their debt downwards do you want to.

i imagine at times you were going underground as you have present all trump is today shuttle to give his last press conference of the year mired in russian conspiracy allegations to destroy the usa of course he might give another speech from florida before the year is up and we'll no doubt between. coming over the show what happened to the rohingya crisis and why is it disappeared from the headlines we ask the u.n. high commission for refugees whether there's just what they dying or seeking help i merely portions of the u.k. backed geopolitical nato power game and two years since the last deep calling in britain shut down we speak to someone who has fought for the miners the world working class is all his life former u.k. labor m.p. . george galloway about his new audiobook street fighting a memoir of the one nine hundred seventy s. loss from this week's news of flip flop on gay rights in the philippines and lifting the lid on the white helmets in syria all the more coming up in today's

going on the ground but first i'm joined by matthew saltmarsh of the un refugee agency u.n.h.c.r. in what has been another devastating year for tens of millions displaced by poverty and war matthew thanks for going on what evidence did you give parliament in the past few days about your visit to me and. well we spoke to paula about the situation the humanitarian situation in bangladesh at the moment where of course the range of refugees have fled over half a million six hundred fifty if you couldn't get in to me and presumably we have star in myanmar but there are neighborhoods who actually go out and do humanitarian work at the moment so they're confined to their offices and homes prevented by the military government correct but of course the humanitarian effort is very much focused on the coxes bazaar region of bangladesh and it's there that ourselves and other u.n. agencies are really coming together and trying to help these huge number of refugees who have been driven out of the border by persecution and what scale are

we talking how many with the numbers well the total number we believe is six hundred fifty thousand but that's in addition to several hundred thousand who were already there and displaced so in total about a million rangar refugees are on that side bangladeshi side of the border and there's one camp in particular which i have. city recently called kuta prolong which now house use half a million refugees almost which is the same size as manchester if you want to comparison but in terms of the size of the camp it's about one percent the geographic size of greater manchester so you can imagine all of these hundreds of thousands of people crammed into a very very small area and the potential that you have for disease for social issues is a really really logistically challenging operation.
