the u.n. general assembly is holding an emergency session on donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel as the us president alabaster both threatened u.s. embassy vote against america. use of the detail obstructed the security council you shameful that this meeting even taking place in violation of the rights of palestinian people america will put our embassy interests one this is bullying and will not bow to the world that. a new report claims ten times more iraqi civilians may have been killed in the campaign to liberate mosul from islamic state than was previously thought. and a three year old russian girl is returned home after being taken to iraq by her parents when they joined islamic state.

very good evening to you my name is neil harvey this is our international. united nations general assembly hearing is underway discussing whether to condemn america's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel and the tensions flared up at u.n. headquarters. who got the use of the beat up struck to the security council and made unable to perform his duties maintaining international peace and security if you've shameful that this meeting is even taking place. but this isn't taken by the us is considered null and void and has no legal rights that would change the status of jerusalem it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of palestinian people are un members they

threatened all the other members this is bullying and this jumper will not bow to the united states will remember this day america will put our embassy in jerusalem . and expect that our new york correspondent killable. it's a surreal scenario we've got nikki haley donald trump saying they're going to play the role of a kind of a perverse santa clause making list of those who've been naughty and who's been nice at the general assembly what's been said so far. well at this point all eyes are on the general assembly hall now at the united nations general assembly we heard the proposal of the resolution put forward by yemen they put forward the resolution condemning the recent move by the united states to recognize jerusalem as the using that it was isolated in its position later we heard from an israeli representative who said that jerusalem was their capital and spoke harshly

against the palestinians and said that anyone who votes in favor of the rebel resolution adding words from a number of countries with venezuela stepping up and saying that the world is not for sale a lot of words but people are really worried more and observers are paying more attention to things that were said in the anticipation of the meeting now will remember a similar resolution was voted down and blocked by the united states at the u.n. security council and as the usa blocked that resolution we heard nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations talk about how the united states would be very very critical of countries and paying close attention to how poor countries voted we saw her putting on twitter that the usa would be quote taking names this is nikki haley talking about the upcoming vote. when we make a decision about where to locate our embassy we don't expect those we've helped to target terrorists on thursday they'll be

a vote criticizing our choice the us will be taking names. result in favor of the draft resolution please raise your hand. those against. forty implodes 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. now that vote that took place at the security council was fourteen to one the rest of the body the entire remainder of the fifteen member body voted against

the united states now people are expecting a similar outcome to come from today's vote however people are wondering if the usa is going to make good on this threat if there is a real danger that they would cut off aid to countries that vote in ways that they do not like and now at this point we've heard from the turkish prime minister and he has said that you can't buy turkey's democratic will we've also heard a strong statements from other countries that are that are harshly critical not only of the decision by trump to move the embassy but also of this proclamation and this threat of cutting off foreign aid so a lot of heated words being exchanged many countries taking the floor and making remarks in the lead up to what's going to be a vote that will be watched around the world you can bet people all over the world are paying close attention to this upcoming vote as it seems to as it seems to illustrate some of the real divides taking place in the world at this time. is

a real gambit that's been made by the u.s. can be fascinating to see what the global response is you because it was brought up today in new york. well we are yet to see how those threats will play out among us we asked the former director of communications with the u.n. edward mortimer what he thought of such the diplomatic tactics. i think this idea. united states uses its power and wealth and the 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 spoke very strongly in favor of the resolution. and joining me live to discuss the hearing further is dr saeed sheikh is a professor of political sociology a very good evening to you we've heard it really in a nutshell that the u.s. ambassador is effectively threatened members of the general assembly with financial repercussions if they don't give the u.s. the backing that they want what do you make of that. well they are reminding everybody in the middle east of the image of the ugly american in the fifty's and the sixty's the image of the cowboy the image of the bully someone who is threatening if you don't do this he will do that again this. is not only in or threatening the nations that would vote according to international law and

principle he was also threatening the united nation that we will not pay you again it's a exaggeration to believe that the united states is the biggest contributor to do an organization and it's specialized in station other countries are contributing even more than america so if the americans are saying if the united nations does not be what you want the do not accept their dictates then they will suspend contribution and this is again the isolationist policy of american foreign policy that had always existed and i think president top was you know promoting this idea is very popular today in america after succeeding in making the. tax reform bill passed but. and that may give him the chance to ignore any criticism about his foreign policy why he is doing that that well he had failed in dealing with iran the nuclear program he had failed in dealing with north korea

so it's thought that the arabs and the muslims of the weakest link and so he can make a little victory here and there so possibly a lot of non muslim countries are also by the side of the arabs and the muslims and the palestinians is specially when he is provoking everybody by publicly pleasuring them maybe it would have succeeded if he had diplomatically pushes them behind closed doors but he went in public he is embarrassing always eams in front of the. on domestic public opinion so i don't think any government would be there to back out to him this is a story to hear i just want to say it's very easy for countries to make a stand on something they believe is an important principle but when it comes down to brass tacks some of them will rely on money funding other kinds of assistance from the u.s. can they really afford to go against them he you know he can do that

with certain small countries but not with strategic allies for example egypt is one of the biggest recipient of american aid remember under president obama he thought i had many times version of the current government by cutting some aid some part of it but then he had a problem was a painter go on and the cia and others because they know that egypt is playing a big role in the peace process in fighting instability in the area so if he does that he has to go so first the congress because that requires a law not an executive order by the white house just another look remember the american aid to egypt came through you know the peace treaty between egypt and israel so it is not going to be cut by a presidential decree it has to the congress and this is very complicated because america invested a lot of money in egypt and many of the strategic allies are they going to do all the strategic allies in the world and be happy only with israel i doubt that this

would happen three three pleasure to have you on appreciate your views side said the professor of political society my guest. we want to the news now ten times more iraqi civilians may have been killed than previously thought during the u.s. led operation to liberate mosul from islamic state now this is according to new research that was conducted by the associated press the news agency obtained data from iraqi logs as well as from nongovernmental organizations and it says that as many as eleven thousand civilians may have been killed during the nine month operation almost a third of those allegedly died during the u.s. led coalition bombing raids however just a fraction of that number is currently acknowledged by the coalition human rights group amnesty international has joined the call to investigate the liberation campaign and reveal the true cost in terms of civilian deaths it added that the numbers cited in this report come as no surprise artie's has visited the city of

mosul both during and after the fighting. the associated press's bodycount surprise anyone who's actually been to mosul and who has seen what has happened to the city you can also argue that the death count that they've given become outdated already hours after they released their report we got a cool from mosul from rescuers there saying that three more children had been killed when an explosive device buried in the wreckage of a house that they were paying on dead today to ease explosions happen almost every day rescuers tell us and this is a direct consequence of the battle of mosul itself nevertheless. body count is a semi official milestone in the in and of itself because the numbers we previously had from official sources from the u.s. led coalition iraqis even the u.n. would attend that barely

a thousand civilians unrealistic number the associated press found that three to four thousand of those civilians killed in mosul died to ash strikes carried out by the u.s. led coalition and the iraqi air force the u.s. led coalition had previously claimed responsibility for no more than three hundred or so civilian deaths saying that it didn't have the resources to send investigators to look at every reported incident susi the press didn't always numbers out of a hat they cited various human rights agencies as well as an official body count. that monitored events in mosul as well as with tip offs from iraq he moves but as i say this number is i'm surprised if you've been to most only seem what a city of two million his been tending to injuries corpses. this is the reality of what you will likely haven't heard of is the smell

it's new. repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink 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 ice is small arms fire they're targeting the helicopter and over the six seven hundred meters away is the aftermath of an airstrike that hit minutes ago just before we got here this was

a city of two million that had been. annihilated during the nine months of the battle of mosul the rescue as we talk to tell us that this city the city the old city of mosul that bore the brunt of the fighting in the devastation it's still reeks of decaying bodies thousands and thousands of corpses still buried under rubble mixed with them or explosive devices that continue to claim people's lives. three year old russian girl has been reunited with her family after she was found abandoned in iraq it's believed that severe as parents took it to the middle east when they joined islamic state after the little girl's flown back to russia it turned out she was the cousin of one teacher and phantom aunty helped bring those two sisters back home in august with more his arteries trying to. visit me to take out that murderer as it was to movie j.p. with him to throw me over as it were to the man you by now and i support are. ready

to. start. another way to. they thought their children and grandchildren had disappeared forever islamic state devoured spiegel while letting go very few too few. had the jennifer team a lost their father and they witnessed the death of their mother put it cleaned. up again one that's good mama was able to serve. this cousin mom i knew. that but the girls were incredibly lucky to even be found sending back to southern russia and reunited with their grandparents that's what they call a miracle. but someone else was still missing clues some rare says two year. there was and after

more than three months unbelievably syfy a was spotted in an iraqi jail. they're grateful to this man senators. who travel to iraq to handle the talks and paperwork. josephine 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 misfit in front of. you that sort of set list. national. as a symbol it was never heard until ziad and his team received a photo first let me. put something in his notice to an image

of a new what they mean 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 hausa feels 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 for sadness at that would give it to the of us and yet it did she that is she it is so that all the thirty one so that the trio can be together again on home soil effective. leader. sophia has hit the last of the. sufi is too young too shy or perhaps too traumatized to talk for now so did this company instead of putting. the penis in. these nods were the only reaction from sophia so far a tiny gesture but

a big sign she feels the future will be bright and filled with love believe the tranquil r t. the pentagon admits that it's conducting full scale military operations in yemen will explain all this. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch it's about the passion from the fans it's the

age of the super money. and spending to get the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to show what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great. welcome but the pentagon has admitted it's conducting full scale military operations in yemen the revelations came in a statement by u.s. central command. u.s. forces have conducted multiple ground operations and more than one hundred twenty strikes in twenty seventeen to remove key leaders and disrupt the ability of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and ices in yemen to use ungoverned spaces in yemen as a hub for terrorist recruiting training and base of operations to export terror worldwide

he's done hawkins' brings us the broader picture now what is happening in yemen. a tripling of air strike numbers from twenty six the official confirmation of boots on the ground something many politicians have been keen to avoid mentioning to avoid bad publicity with the yemeni conflict raging for nearly three years now and spanning two u.s. administrations american policy has some more devolved since the first days of the war what we need to do is bring all the parties together and find a political arrangement it is not solved by having another proxy war fought inside of yemen now aside from massive arms sales to saudi arabia what began as a logistical support and intelligence sharing as part of the saudi led coalition moved to supporting operations in an advise and assist role drone of planes strikes now multiple ground operations the military involvement may have good intent on the

surface comments in the sport of to harvest groups stabilizing a war torn country but as involvement has escalated the presence of terror groups has actually expanded now aside from the irony targeting militants allegedly allied to the saudi backed militias there's the question of a vicious circle air strikes and other military involvement in the region has led to terror groups capitalizing on precisely those sentiments among the populace which lead to heightened recruitment and support for jihadism just remember libya and syria and this actually comes from none other than members of the u.s. congress the civil war inside yemen has aided the enemies for which we actually have declared war against al-qaeda is getting stronger inside yemen because as more and more of the country becomes becomes ungovernable because of this war al qaeda is moving into that territory isis against which we have not declared war but we are engaged in active military activity in the region against

is getting stronger inside yemen two of these problems don't even touch upon the catastrophic humanitarian situation described by. it's the worst in the world with civilian casualties famine cholera spreading in the country. policing the united kingdom of detained four men in a series of raids aimed at foiling a suspected christmas attack said the arrests came from intelligence received during an ongoing investigation one suspect owns a fish and chip shop which was raided by police and army bomb squad security officers evacuated residents from the nearby homes have until december twenty fifth to decide whether to charge the four suspects who were aged between twenty two and forty one no connection with islamic state has been made however the terror group has been threatening european cities including the christmas attacks most of the terrorist atrocities that have hit the u.k. this year has been claimed by.

we asked former london metropolitan police officer roger gray about safety tips for the holiday season and whether the british authorities have adjusted to the new reality of the modern terror threat. doing i think. more is in your the public extremely well but they are obviously intelligence hungry and always labor at this point any scrap of intelligence is worthwhile and it's helped to save probably quite a few laws when this occurs and let's hope there's not too much more going on out there but i do have

a massive telstra war going to be very relaxed over christmas but we have to be on all of the time we have to be. going to need more police officer or a telephone with any scrap of information that we would normally have thought be real i think we've got to devolve the information put it forward and let the police decide whether it has values as a small part of a greater picture or already it's on worth. ok let's bring you out today with our top story because the un general assembly has just voted overwhelmingly to condemn the united states for recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel one hundred twenty eight countries voted for the resolution nine against and thirty five have stated however this vote is not legally binding the overwhelming decision comes despite threat to cut aid to countries who voted against america. and that's a beautiful circle you are right today join me in half an hour for the very latest

news headlines. the confidence in the system is collapsing and there is no turning back this is the collapse of the nation state and the central bank and the fractional reserve money system big calling is to banks what the printing press was to the catholic church it collapsed it in many ways this is the end of this era this is the new beginning this is about everyone having autonomy and sovereignty with their own money. about eight hundred of them i did not cut it in. upon him and if we're going to.

listen to school but to know me you would have much to be just luck. to your homepage. and the meaning to me doesn't negotiate you know some of the woman on sunday the ultimate unemotional gadget that some of the. terminals will go down and down on the movements of the democrat on. the committee and no one can and must come in the policeman. from some gruesome account some have moments from some solar system made out to. come in the night while you learn how one of the from the one that hit in.

the ratings and sell you shoes street smarts teaches us many things hawk watchers and one of the most important is that you. the phrase or words trust me like when the used car salesman with the one gold tooth looks you in the eye with a smile and says trust me chances are you're probably going to drive off the lot in a death trap or any time the words trust me or trust us escapes the lips of politicians and corporations or your big brother now this week it appears that the old trust us routine is being dropped on anyone daring to question the powers that be the republicans new tax reform bill that was hustled through the us congress this week trust us is what us taxpayers are being sold even as many major u.s.

corporations of publicly announced that they have every intention to use their newly minted tax breaks for mergers acquisitions and stock buybacks which is the complete opposite of what trump and company promised that these corporations would use their tax breaks to create jobs and reinvest in the workforce corporations and c.e.o.'s hoarding money and feathering their nests i mean who did it apparently our elected officials who voted for this or are leaving us really just two choices either that they are in the pocket of the corporations definitely or are go lactic lee stupid most definitely and if that's not bad enough the biggest trust me of the week has got to go to the good folks at the national institute of health and i age who decided on tuesday to lift the funding moratorium on genetically altering dangerous infectious diseases to make them even more dangerous and

infectious now why on earth would they do this you would ask cording to the n h again a function stuff.
