hundreds of millions. with the u.s. still winning a little support for its recognition. of . the number of civilian casualties in the battle to liberate the iraqi city of mosul from. a three year old russian girls were. taken to iraq where they joined hundreds more . in both iraq and syria.

international. mourning in moscow. the un general assembly today to vote on a draft resolution rejecting washington's recognition of israel's capital but the u.s. is quite literally using it. against the move its ambassador to the u.n. has warned of the american president will have his eyes on anyone who supports the draft. when we make a decision about where to locate our embassy we don't expect those we've helped to talk he tends. to be a vote criticizing our choice the us will be taking names. of those in favor of the draft resolution he.

does against. the fourteen foods in favor one vote against. as you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the us take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested i report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration. it's the right thing to do it is absolutely the right thing to do what the president himself has played the businessman threatening to cut aid to any members who would support america's jerusalem preservation they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us while we're watching those votes lead a vote against us will save a lot now we've heard these threats from donald trump and we've also heard threats from nikki haley 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 to start to some of jerusalem as the future of. the should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palace didn't. and a decision and actions which purport to alter the caracter status of jerusalem have no legal effect to your any unilateral actions increase the risk averse collating the conflicts we support the just cause of restoring the legitimate national rights of the palestinian people who good to go out into seclusion can be contained and will not get out of control 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 trump and 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 we're forced to ask ourselves if u.s. leaders are really acting diplomatically or if they are being reduced to rather threatening behavior in response to the upcoming vote in the general assembly here at the headquarters in new york we are yet to see how those threats will play out among u.n. members we asked a former director of communications within the u.n. edward mortimer what he thinks of such diplomacy. i think this idea the united states uses its power and wealth and that dependence of some other countries on its assistance trying to get votes in the united nations this is not something entirely new i think what is perhaps. new and

interesting about this situation is that the united states starts for a situation of complete isolation as you saw there was a fourteen to one vote in the security council and even countries that are normally very closely allied with the with the united states such as the united kingdom who spoke very strongly in favor of the resolution. treaties are afraid of the united states probably more than they are. of any other power it's not very surprising that the united states is the country best placed to use these bullying tactics but i think. the way that they're used is not very subtle and may well backfire i think that american influence in the world has been declining now for twenty years or so and i think this kind of behavior is

likely to accelerate that decline. there is a degree of safety in numbers i think the more countries that ignore this bullying tactic the less easy it will be for the united states to act on its threats i think one probably should not take it too seriously the u.n. vote comes as a new day of rage was declared by palestinians who of course for decades a view to east jerusalem as their capital and bethlehem protesters burned the u.s. flag saying trump's decision won't be tolerated that city has become the epicenter of the most violent clashes. god of love of. god i are. i'm. i thought oh.

well i sense a trumpet allister's or jerusalem decision on the sixth of december resulting clashes have seen many palestinians arrested and some even killed a lot of them was a wheelchair bound palestinian man who is now being seen as a symbol of resistance. yesterday my brother said to me where he was eating dinner with us 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 risk for life.

was like. i was with him yesterday when he fell as a martyr abraham wanted out from the beginning he was shot to the head between his eyesight was behind pushing his group chat kind of ducks behind him that's a scam. the un human rights chief has called for an impartial investigation into his death.

added there's a strong suggestion that the force used against the victim was excessive. it's already one of the most dangerous cities in the us and crime rates in chicago are now rising to a worrying level that bucks a national trend which has seen figures dropping according to a new crime rates report and at the situation in the city as a quiet genocide and says u.n. intervention is needed. to appeal to the e.u. in a way to chicago and maybe even possibly. the peacekeeping troops the commission is cole was perceived by many as an invite to the u.n. to deploy troops in the city although the chicago police superintendent pointed out the world body has no jurisdiction over that city. you are welcome. as you pursue the american dream.

being killed in chicago. this has been going on for quite some time and the people are keeping quiet community members themselves so the same ones who are in the most in need of help but they are scared to get help or scared to ask for help. from one of the biggest street. so. how easy is it going to go very easy. we need to create a culture of accountability picking up a gun and using it. to

chose not to shoot just because she didn't want her family to go through the scrutiny the next day when national news. on the news and people become numbers these are lives and these are human lives and unfortunately leadership has failed. us has lifted a ban on developing lethal viruses which other things were allowed into how could mutate and infect humans more easily the band was put in place three years ago if safety preachers and critics still believe there is certainly very many risks involved meanwhile reports claim north korea has begun loading on threats on to ballistic missiles so american investigates. the u.s.

government lives some more atory i want to experiments with deadly viruses sounds really bad message to the hollywood film got me thinking to get a hundred more infected spreading the bushfire footage that one of them is going to then kind of got it now and if one gets out of cedar creek we have a very interesting problem. going to run with it so we have a lot of tricky and you know that scene. in real life it's all about researchers getting the green light to tinker with respiratory illnesses but it's all for a good cause the idea is to help develop cures and better understand the fires this . research is important in helping us identify understand and develop strategies and effective countermeasures against rapidly evolving pathogens that pose a threat to public health but it doesn't always go according to plan in fact the ban was originally imposed in twenty fourteen after government mishaps one with anthrax and the other with bird flu suggesting that lab standards don't go far

enough and some scientists are voicing concerns that mistakes in the research could lead to a pandemic again a function studies have done almost nothing to improve the preparedness for condemned makes yet they risk grating an accidental pandemic you are making viruses which they did like. that the ability to transfer to a mammal all that is always a risk that virus can get out not only that if you know accidentally it's out there just. so we want to be. armed so there are major concerns here about this. and i think that there's not enough money use. biosecurity or and that would be my biggest concern and this is all while u.s. officials are raising the alarm that north korea could develop devastating biological weapons or the real threat might be closer to home the card list the

u.s. . is willing to push on with the research on no risk. samir khan r t washington d.c. . ten times more civilians may have been killed during the u.s. led operation to liberate the iraqi city of mosul from eisold and previously thought that's according to new research by the associated press the news agency saying data from iraqi morgues as well as nongovernmental organizations it says as many as eleven thousand civilians may have been killed during the nine month operation and nearly a third of those were said to have died and bombing raids the coalition only acknowledges three hundred twenty six civilian deaths. investigated the story. the associated press says counties arguably already out of date if you consider the people would have died as a consequence of the battle of millions so just this morning we got a clue that three moved children were killed there when the exploded bed detonated

under the wreckage of the house that they were playing on and such explosions in every day occurrence whether bams left by by isis or unexploded bombs dropped by u.s. led coalition or iraqi jets nevertheless this count is ten times higher than the official estimates we got from the iraqi government the u.s. led coalition or even the united nations the associated press says that there was ninety eleven thousand civilian casualties through a three thousand by the u.s. led coalition. the rocky air force previously the u.s. led coalition said that it was responsible for moving three hundred twenty or so deaths it clearly didn't have the resume or says to send investigators to look at every reported incident this you see the press cited is that serious has various human rights agencies as well as an official body count death tallies. and there

were two paths from iraqi moods but the number of senses in time and surprising if you've been to mosul if you've seen what a city of two moon has been turned into. has some clips from the reports we've seen from mosul over the last year injuries astronauts corpses cross these 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 instinct 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 f. strike that hit minutes ago just before we got here no wonder he's off to rule a city of corpses this is a city of two million that is being leveled in the rescue is this morning there is still digging bodies out of mosul that say the city of mosul which suffered the worst of the fighting the worst of the bombing is still lives in the rock and there's a small town that has hum a city for months and months on men. we spoke to mohammed un coordinator with the salaam for democracy and human rights group he believes the coalition's tactics

meant high rates of civilian casualties were inevitable the last report by the un 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 taken a syrian. shield not doubt. their weapons are being used by the coalition especially by the u.s. army is does not discriminate between civilians or terrorist or by civilians or the isis because they used. a number of weapons that does 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 morsel 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 rooms that were to small neighborhoods this again the question is raised again why there's not as a thing. independents and instigation by the u.n. to look into how the operation has been handled. but meanwhile hundreds of russian children who had been taken to iraq and syria when their parents joined i saw remains stuck in the region efforts are currently being made to return those children home. has been to the russian city of grozny where a three year old gold called sofia has just returned. biz i should like to take up that model as it was time to e.j.

to. revise it what the menu by down doesn't work. and i do think i thought that if flame. spatially not over they got it then when they thought their children and grandchildren had disappeared forever and slime mixtape devour spiegel while letting go very few too few. could be jennifer tina lost their father and they witnessed the death of their mother mum put it cleaned. up again one more was a little less sure. this was a mom i know no mom or dad. but the girls were incredibly lucky to even be found sent back to southern russia and reunited with their grandparents that's what they call a miracle. but someone else was still missing pete this summer says

two year. persia now knows players and after more than three months unbelievably syfy a was spotted in an iraqi jail but. they're grateful to this man senators ziad subside who travel to iraq to handle the talks and paperwork. so sophia just arrived back in russia from iraq months after her cousins were already reunited with her grandparents so we're going to try and see if we can talk to the person who made it possible and sophia herself liverpool street in front of me. that such a set list. to close was. that up until ziad and his team received a photo the first month or. so is that.

it turned out so feel long with the woman who had picked her up after a deadly mosul airstrike ended up in a prison with islamic state wives and widows the woman told of house of feel as mother had been buried under the mosul rubble arranging the girls' release and handover was tough to say the least it took over a month the papers were signed on a very special day the civility the diversity yet it did. this without all the thirty or so that the trio can be together again on home soil . the last of the. feel is too young too shy or perhaps too traumatized to talk for now the company instead of putting.

these nods where the only reaction from syfy is so far a tiny gesture but a big sign she feels the future will be bright and filled with love to train co r t . the value of bitcoin is now a drop below seventeen thousand dollars following recent record highs the drop came after an alternative crypto currency called bitcoin cash was launched and i call it discussing now the future of digital currencies with max kaiser and dr jacques rasmussen professor of political economics but not going to be the currency of the future because the central banks will start issuing own digital currencies before it's to the money supply but it is definitely out of the speculative bubble that climbs and all the krypton's are a commodity play much like gold in fact there are second a lot of capital investment out of the gold market and it is a speculative play and i think it's going to go higher but it is

a speculative bubble and the key question is will it post some sort of danger to the financial markets in general and that that's a possibility what's driving the action a big point is people who are looking for a store of value and escaping the u.s. dollar which is the tulip bulb of our era the stock market and bond market are the tulip bulbs of our era that to look almost sixteen thirty was driven by highly leveraged transactions that's what gave us tulip all many of sixteen thirty because it is the opposite of that margin bring it in retail buyers in japan are driving this market it's not the turkey nerds in the u.s. and whenever you did. extreme margin buying and then that is about all the same and you're going to get a lot of volatility and it's going to collapse no it's not fall it's a fact most of this distrait is located now and the japan financial forty has legitimize this and the c b a n c c b o a n c m e r legitimizing this and the

hedge funds are jumping into this and you're going to get eighty ads and you're going to need three others or one of the things that drive in the stock market right now and passive in the index investing and when you get e.t.f. the coins with the volatility are you going to get a psychological effect on the eighty s. collapsing in bed crying and it could spill over to the stock market and bond market e.t.s. that's a contagion channel and that's a big risk other banks are going to try and be rail it or change it into something that they can control because we've heard the french and german finance minister is calling for a debate at the g twenty summit for regulation of bitcoin are they going to try and make it something they can handle they can try but they'll fail because there's no way to stop it it's unstoppable there's nothing they can do to stop the adoption row acceptance of big oil as a store of value as a currency and as a unit of account that's the history. there are

a common sight in almost every city in the world but it seems the humble pichon is no longer welcome in one british city in a neighborhood in bristol spikes have been placed on branches of trees to help protect expensive cars underneath but the move is not winning everybody support. we're back and often though.

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 one business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there no b.t.o. visitation i don't no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that long they don't give a damn if you believe the charge on that they're actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what secret is behind such success.
