12:03 pm
you can see the israeli tanks that which in the last few minutes just made their way from up the road to emmaus and see the feasting also from allah but they really have come all the way in now so. now. let's look at. today's day of rage that has been called for by various palestinian factions is well and truly underway there are youngsters who have been here for the better part of the last hour who feel hurling rocks and pavements at the israeli soldiers who speaks only been inching their way closer they've been filing tear gas in the style it's still quite a strong smell of tear gas that is hanging over us. the protesters and demonstrators come here today for the third friday raids. this
12:04 pm
friday was different other than the two fridays people were very close to the fence this time and we this our very important leader actor and polluted shins and activist joining the civilians during the protests as you see there are at least five ambulances waiting for any injury and ready to pick them up there are still hundreds of protesters as you can hear we can hear live bullets i think there is another another injury right now and they're actually throwing gas bombs on the demonstrators as you can see despite all of the live bullets despite all the gas bombs despite all of the rebel berlitz by listening protesters what they're ingalls are the west bank already jerusalem are super attesting are still demonstrating people are certain expressions their anger. now this all comes after the united nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn donald trump's unilateral decision to
12:05 pm
recognize jerusalem as israel's capital only nine member states including the u.s. voted against the resolution one hundred twenty eight others believe that the city status can only be resolved through talks the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley also pointed out the voting would not make any difference to where washington puts its embassy the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. we will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations america will put our embassy in jerusalem no vote in the united nations will make any difference on that even countries that usually clash on major issues join forces to condemn the u.s. move on jerusalem rivals including saudi arabia and iran came together the general assembly. the use of the veto obstructed the security council unable
12:06 pm
to perform duties undo decades of work of the international community it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of palestinian people must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members very threatened or all the other members this is bullying and this jumble will not walk to the dock so that we spoke to think the un made the right decision to ignore heavy pressure from washington think it's unfortunate that the united states finds itself under this kind of leadership which is undermining the standing of this country internationally if countries acquiesce to the us and if they accept being punching bag for the american administration and voting in accordance with directives from nikki haley then what's the point of having the united nations i think we all know. a new era
12:07 pm
in which a major. resort to blackmail and bribery in order to secure votes in the general assembly this is the first occasion on which the state decree a major. member of the security council has resorted to search measures i do think that it will be controllable united states were to carry through threats of this kind because they're called indicate constraints in future situations and gives a great against the united states they do so very wrong. boris johnson has visited moscow for the first time as the u.k. foreign secretary the trip comes while relations between the two countries are historical like. it was following johnson's meeting with his russian counterpart. well we hadn't seen a u.k. foreign secretary in moscow for five years and i can tell you that i hadn't seen such a remarkable press conference at the foreign ministry villa behind me for
12:08 pm
a long time there were many jokes many ways to poke each other not necessarily in a bad way after listing all the essential topics that are usual for such talks ranging from north korea to ukraine and russia and the theories that it meddled and the votes all around the world and the u.k. as well came up once before just to remind you the foreign secretary boris johnson said that he hadn't seen any evidence of russian interference he even used the words not a sausage well mr johnson seems to have changed his mind today he said that he hadn't seen any evidence of successful attempts to interfere and i asked boris johnson to elaborate on that a little bit there was last on the free abundant evidence of. russian interference
12:09 pm
in the elections in. germany. from. america but as i say there is new evidence of any successful russian interference. in the u.k. other highlights of the press conference included boris johnson speaking russian a few times saying that he has committed to fall in response to another question by amy in the u.k. foreign secretary confirmed that once he was in tehran a couple weeks ago he visited the russian embassy secretly to see the venue of the famous tehran conference during the second world war he was also asked about moscow travel advice that he received from one of the british m.p.'s which included warnings about drinking challenge again. and honey traps many other things so the question was about trust and the question was about whether he had encountered any
12:10 pm
of these threats so far in the russian capital. you know i want you to know it's a measure of my of my trust. to soon as i got into this exit from a loose try mediately handed my coat my hand my gloves i mean did everything that was in my pocket secret or otherwise to sergei lavrov in the knowledge that he would look after it. would come to to no harm more than just a few times boris johnson reminded of the differences in the views that london and moscow have on various international issues it seemed that he really felt it was essential to keep talking about this every time he said something positive about russia but at the end of the day the common message was from both top diplomats that dialogue needs to prevail. during the joint news conference with foreign minister lavrov boris johnson even showed off some of his impressive russian skills
12:11 pm
. with a russian font and they committed russia so far. that that's not a relationship that is two hundred fifty years old dates from the. queen elizabeth since an employee. of the terrible writing. so far the first foreign secretary history. to the. customers as i said earlier we're going to lose more but usually after christmas to go to bed. somebody has just given me a pound for the for the wrong. be as opposed to that you can i guess that's the fs . when it comes to
12:12 pm
trust i trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to call him not. to plug. so i think as i think. long regular mikhail gorbachev used to say trust but there is. a coming war that is in russia. i'm ready to trust without any verification. a british foreign secretary also visited red square well as saying central moscow is landmarks he and his team laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier that's a world war two memorial by the kremlin during the war britain in the soviet union for together against nazi germany roger broadcast about a jet ski things that johnson's visit will bring positive aspects but on the with time. you can see maybe some glimmer of hope on the horizon just in terms of the sort of growing report at the sink. being at that meeting between boris johnson and so again after off. but i also think that anything that is anything positive that's
12:13 pm
going to come out of that meeting seriously positive will only emerge in time i think boris johnson is going to come back to london he's going to say you know i really put it to the russians i didn't give an inch. and then it will be with time we'll see maybe they'll be some other maybe we'll have a reciprocal visit and maybe just maybe things will start to unfreeze but then you know i'm an optimist and we're coming up to new year so here's hoping. shocking revelations have a most after a limp gymnastics champion mckayla maroney claimed that she was abused for years as a child by the u.s. team doctor and was then paid to keep silent the doctor michigan state university and the u.s. olympic committee all the allegedly conspired to bribe maroney not to speak out lawyer takes up the story she hired a lawyer asked for
12:14 pm
a settlement conference or mediation to get justice but she did me ask for was a draconian confidentiality agreement that prevented her from telling even her brother and sister about this and then i think even worse that you can't ever say anything bad about us if your master is ever for your whole life dr laurie nascar pleaded guilty to first degree sexual assault and was sentenced to sixty years in prison but this is the first time sporting organizations are alleged to have bribed victims to stay quiet usa gymnastics insists that a year ago we came as lawyers approached the organization to request a confidential meeting that resulted in a mutual non-disclosure settlement mckayla shared her experiences in a series of testimonies but she was far from the doctor's only victim. it started when i was thirteen years old and it didn't end until my last sport it seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance i was treated this scariest
12:15 pm
nice of my life happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and nights with the team to get to tokyo he'd given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was all alone with him in his hotel room getting treatment i thought i was going to die that night i don't want to be in a courtroom telling about how. you know pandered to me in front of my mother when i was eleven the fact that he just thinks oh i pleaded guilty and now you guys can start healing is ridiculous to me i don't think. i don't think he truly understands how many people are hurting and how bad people are hurting over this earlier we discussed moronis claims with former gymnast rachel dunn hole in the she was the first woman to publicly accuse former u.s. national team dr lerner enough sort of sexual assault and she wasn't surprised about allegations of a wide scale cover up you know i think there's plenty of evidence that there was a cover up not just because of the way usa g.
12:16 pm
has handled larry nasser's case but again because this is their longstanding policy they have been covering up sexual abuse in the organization literally for decades you know some of the most prominent coaches in usa do you have trained olympians who have worked alongside bela and marta curley those those coaches have been found guilty of sexual abuse too is that when you have an organization that has a decades long policy of silencing victims by literally shoving reports in a file cabinet and then they can defend those actions by saying they want to avoid a witch hunt it shouldn't come as any surprise to us that they're treating their elite athletes the same way they're treating the youngest gymnast in their membership so i think we already know that u.s.c.g. has a longstanding policy of covering up sexual predators larry nassar is not an exception by any stretch of the imagination. more than twenty thousand people have signed a petition to change the usa gymnastics leadership in the wake of the scandal which will then holder thinks that the allegations could impact upon the u.s. olympic committee i think there needs to be an investigation into whether the legal
12:17 pm
activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even legal under california law because it did involve felony sex offense crimes and i think there needs to be a complete board change from the top down because these board members have have made it very clear that the safety of little children is not their priority that they see nothing wrong with how they have handled not just the larry nassar situation but with how they've handled sexual predators in the organization for decades you know when you have an organization like u.s.c.g. that is in charge of our libyans that is in charge of the entire sport from the top down and they can't handle something like sexual abuse against little children yes i think it is time for the u.s.o.c. to look at simply removing their authority to run our gymnastics program in the united states because they have proven that they care about something more than the safety of their athletes and that's inexcusable we need to british man who lost his brother in the iraq war as the families of fallen soldiers lose hope that they will
12:18 pm
tell you just this little story after the break. quite for many plops over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. spend spend to do the twenty million
12:19 pm
why. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great chance for. going to. the families of the soldiers killed in the iraq war have abandoned the legal battle to have former prime minister tony blair and other u.k. government officials prosecuted for war crimes lawyers say that they have exhausted every possible means to get justice for those killed during the invasion almost fifteen years have passed since the invasion of iraq tens of thousands of british troops took part one hundred seventy nine lost their lives the official british inquiry into the war known as the chilcot report was published last year that criticize the government for rushing into the conflict based on flawed intelligence
12:20 pm
. while man who lost his brother in the war. on numerous occasions of been mistaken to like white as a ghost and cost someone's out of memphis work and thought i was in mike wilson lost his identical twin brother lance corporal david wilson in iraq in two thousand and eight david was twenty seven he'd become a father to his daughter poppy weeks before his death people say the twins have a rare twin bond kind of thing and i never really believe in this kind of thing i'm quite pragmatic. bought there is the you realize it's me who switched off together with other families of the soldiers fallen in iraq might push for a civil case against tony blair but lawyers have told them that british courts can't make judgments on matters of foreign policy military decisions or the
12:21 pm
legality of war for the grieving relatives the legal route here in the u.k. has been exhausted condemned the loss of a loved one in a conflict that the chill court report concluded was based on flawed intelligence will never be forgotten. the damning report revealed that saddam hussein presented no immediate threat and that politicians spoke of weapons of mass destruction with the certainty that wasn't justified forging tony blair has been made immune from. prosecution in the high court seems that pretty much the can do what they want and get away with it where does that leave the families was destroyed some of the families you know to this day you know some of them haven't recovered a lot of them still you know relive what went through you know from the day that they got that knock at the door it seems a bit pointless now that we know we were told to have weapons of mass destruction
12:22 pm
then we found out that it didn't and then when the chilcot inquiry came up out of the blue sort of we got the. the outcome was kind of like will what was all this for you know and all sort of from a sort of nine years down the line does not closure at all it just all seemed very very pointless with all the legal avenues closed off the iraq war families campaign group is launching a petition demanding that parliament hold the politicians responsible for the war to account tony blair you know was you know even there the decision was his and he was in full fact. in full knowledge of the of all the facts that circumstances surrounding her and the reasons why we went in been privy to all of the information so dual him personally responsible for the petition is mike's initiative his way of continuing the fight even after losing the possibility of a legal battle for politicians and museums the iraq war may have been pushed into
12:23 pm
the archives for families like mike's the wounds of losing their loved ones are is rule as ever december and there were never a great time for us as a family but you know all those little aversion between so like the nineteenth for example was the. if you know of the eleven when we brought him back well that kind of stuff does feel like a little bit of a kick in the teeth you know or consider which saw along for the ruling. party darling ten. there have been sharp rise in the value of cryptocurrency is this year but the fall serve also been spectacular bitcoin dropped under thirteen thousand dollars according of the hitting all time highs of more than twenty thousand at the weekend it is done i've joined my colleague kate partridge in the studio to discuss this. this freefall has triggered some very polar reactions to it because some are saying that bitcoin now is absolutely done and dusted others are saying that it's just a correction nothing to be afraid of and this is
12:24 pm
a good opportunity to get more big corn at a more well attractive price and but there's also one other trend going on here some of the earliest and most passionate supporters of bitcoin are now looking at it from a more critical standpoint and investment in between right now i would say is the riskiest investment you can make it is an extremely high risk as soon as people realize that this is how it works they will start selling there's no fixed definition whether it's a currency or not this issue is a difficult one it has not yet been proven to be credible enough to become a currency so i need to watch because in for a little while more imagine your average stock increasing in value not two not five not ten but twenty fold while this is bitcoin twenty seventeen in a nutshell for you this crypto currency has been really breaking one price record after the other as you've just mentioned over the weekend in fact on sunday it brushed the twenty thousand dollar mark now this is something insane and this
12:25 pm
latest plunge is the most serious hit bitcoin has taken so far this year and when i say serious i mean losing somewhat over a third of its value in a matter of days so no wonder that this skyfall may have very well caused a few heart attacks among the big newbies feelings group. to make you realize what's a maybe hold looks like a very volatile week for b. to coin a disappointing end to what was a very promising year that's it going keep dropping let panic ensued let the want to be investors sell then i'll buy it's like the christmas sales have come early really you've heard it. is as high risk high gain as it gets so don't let yourself get deceived by these outrageous charts don't think it's an easy profit because trust me there are as many big chord millionaires now as those who have lost fortunes on it. no because here i am steady as they come you can rely on me to be back with the headlines at the top of the hour.
