well you learn how to live in the one after. another day of rage is called across palestine with clashes continuing after donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. and. we're standing right over here you can feel there's a number of people you can see the incense are carrying people with same. force johnson visits russia for the first time as british foreign secretary talking trade alleged meddling by moscow and even attempted to speak some russian somebody has just given me a pass from the for the. beautiful you good news i guess that's the if this be. the sporty stunned after picture gnostics champion the killer

moroni claims that she was paid to keep quiet about years of child abuse by the u.s. team dr. harvey this is our international. protest again broken out across palestine after another day of rage was called the demonstrations followed decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. and the west bank and gaza journalists both witnessed just how tense the situation is. the situation here is extremely was no. i'm not afraid because i've been running down the road now. it's all just made their way to the right in see them off my last time

a car in the summer in a city in firing tear gas and everybody's been running amok the streets are rich and. the soldiers are just you know the house they've cut. all the way into the pit but. you can't have the ambulances so they certainly will be the ship's crew has been in. and at the same time adjusting my coming over to the back of the posse from here exactly what. we've taken proper we've taken cover in a in a petrol station. going out of the into the situation room for us how can a man who will pick. up and. we're standing right over here you can see that there's a number of injured people you can see the instance are carrying people with them you can see the israeli tanks that which in the last few minutes just made their

way up the road to emmaus and see the tree saying 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 these waiting soldiers who speaks only been inching their way closer they've been filing tear gas in the stomach cell is still quite a strong smell of tear gas that is hanging over us. the protesters and demonstrators come here today for the third friday enraged. this

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 it there are at least five ambulances waiting for any injury and they need 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 blood of bullets despite all the gas bombs despite all of the rebel berlitz by listening protesters what they're in god's are the west bank already jerusalem are so protesting are still demonstrating people are third pressing their anger. this all comes after the united nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn donald trump's unilateral decision to recognize

jerusalem as israel's capital only nine member states including the u.s. voted against the resolution well 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 voting would make any difference to how washington puts its embassy 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 joined forces to condemn the u.s. move on jerusalem rivals including saudi arabia and around came together at the general assembly. the use of the b.

to obstruct to deceive the council a media unable to perform his duties until decades of work of the international community is considered the police in violation of the rights of palestinians that must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members they threaten the other members this is bullying and this jumble will not walk to the road out. of a long list that we spoke to think that the u.s. made the right decision to ignore heavy pressure from washington i 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 in which

a major. resort to blackmail and bribery order to secure votes in the general assembly but this is the first occasion on which the state security a major. member of the security council has resorted to search measures i do think that it will be deplorable united states will have to carry through and through its of this kind because they're called indicator states in putrid situations and give them a vote against the united states they do so wrong. or johnson has visited moscow for the first time as the u.k. foreign secretary trip comes while relations between the two countries are written in story glow artie said 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

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 a mass on the free abundant evidence of russian interference 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 me 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 game. and honey traps many other things so the question was about trust and the question was about whether he had encountered any of these threats so far in the russian capital. so i want you to know it's

a measure of my of my trust. soon as i got into this exit from a loose try mediately handed my coat my hat 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 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. and joining the joint news conference with foreign minister lavrov boris johnson even showed off some impressive russian skills.

a rush so fine and they committed. to the diplomatic relationship that is two hundred fifty years old dates from the time when the queen elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible writing before. on the first foreign secretary in history. to be cool for. customers as i said earlier only buying. british things if you can use to. somebody has just given me a penny from the for the wrong. be as opposed to that you can i guess that's the fs . when it comes to trust or trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to call in the forest. to

buy this stuff. so i think as i think. ronald reagan mikhail gorbachev used to say trust but there is. a coming war that is in russia. i'm ready to trust without any verification. the british foreign secretary also visited red square as well as seeing central moscow. laid flowers tomb of the unknown soldier a world war two memorial by the kremlin during the war britain and the soviet union for together against nazi germany writer and broadcaster married to jessica thinks that johnson's visit will bring positive aspects but only 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 at that meeting between boris johnson. but i also think that anything. that is anything positive that's 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 that we'll see maybe this and 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 of emerged after him picked gymnastics champion the killer 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 vala legibly conspired to bribe maroney not to speak out a lawyer takes up a story she hired a lawyer asked for a settlement conference or mediation to get justice which 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 it said that you can't ever say anything bad about us if your masters ever for your whole life talk to larry mass or pleaded guilty to first degree sexual assault to send us to sixty years in prison and this is the first time sporting organizations are alleged to have bribed victims to stay quiet usa gymnastics insists that a year ago. 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 being 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 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 and 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 didn't hold and she was the first to publicly accuse former u.s. team doctor larry nasser of sexual assault and the whole of the wasn't surprised about allegations of a white 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. 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 karoly 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 usaid you has a longstanding policy of covering up sexual predators larry nasser is not an exception by any stretch of the imagination. well twenty thousand people have signed a petition to change the usa gymnastics leadership in the wake of what is being called the biggest child abuse scandal in sports history is demanding all u.s. gymnastics chiefs are replaced by those who quote but athletes safety first it's

all done hollander again thinks the allegations could impact the u.s. olympic committee just ahead of the winter games in south korea i think there needs to be an investigation into whether illegal activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even illegal 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 to 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 nasser 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. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has ordered the countries and for you to unesco to submit an official with the draw from the organization is of the envoy explained the decision you know asco has broken records of people who receive incitement and lies against israel and the jewish people while deluding its noble core principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on and the semitism. escalated from our correspondent in new york. to stern this decision was actually anticipated. yes now the un's cultural agency nasco has long been criticized by israel and by the united states for alleged systemic attacks on israel we've heard from the spokes person for the foreign ministry of israel saying that there were attempts to disconnect jewish

history from the land of israel recently israel had complained of an anti israel bias within the euro and now nasco had passed resolutions in recent months in which they said that israel had no right to jerusalem and they also said that israel had no right to the temple mount or the old city of jerusalem saying that these were muslim holy sites and now danny danon who is the israeli ambassador to the u.n. he actually specifically commented on this this is danny the man no you know it's good it liberation no empty speech you. know didn't want to be revolution will ever divide about him. now earlier this year in october the united states withdrew from nasco citing similar reasons accusing it of an anti israel bias and when that happened the israeli prime

minister benjamin netanyahu praised this calling it a courageous and moral decision and israeli officials went on to say that yes go ahead degenerated into what they were calling a theater of the absurd now from there we also heard from benjamin netanyahu and other figures there's been a long criticism of an asco and its decisions by israeli and u.s. officials now essentially the nasco that's the united nations educational cultural and scientific organization and it has a number of tasks that it carries out it protects cultural sites and traditions it overseas and promotes education for girls it works to promote media freedom and now with israel in the united states withdrawing from it the protection and the oversight of certain cultural and historical sites is now in question so it'll be quite interesting to see what results from this decision now that both israel and

the united states have withdrawn from this u.n. cultural agency this very important international body caleb maupin bringing is all the latest of many thanks caleb. ok let's go live if we can discuss the story with israeli columnist a minute or enjoying some of the line not speak to me what do you make of israel's decision then to withdrawal. well obviously every u.n. agency. a battlefield in the foreign policy and diplomacy arena and unesco use no different than the human rights council and others but whether or not israel is should withdraw from it is another matter altogether because just weeks rowing just leaving the field to others is not acceptable to many israelis who also don't think that the accent that some

israeli politicians put on the jewish character of the israel is appropriate obviously israel was born as a jewish state every jew into well he's eligible to come over and get an israeli citizenship there is no dispute regarding that among israeli jews but whether the minorities dyn-o. on jewish citizens of israel the one quarter of the israelis were not jewish whether they're treated night right or not this is another subject for debate so for many secular jews what better than known another seven saying do not reflect their own views will this decision not perhaps israel itself the lack of international cooperation in education science and the arts. yes of course it will hurt israel because just giving desplat firm to others and

possibly also losing whatever financial and scientific a or cultural israel could have gotten yes that's another loss but obviously it also has done mess to political repercussions because likud netanyahu party and other right wing parties want to appeal to jewish voters off certain political persuasions they want to tell many voters that the only votes which count are the jewish votes and the following the next elections the only way the center and center left parties can form a coalition would be to be supported by heavily arab parties it would not be legitimate so it is not this innocent as it sounds just. decrying the u.

ness good declarations regarding the jewish relationship with jerusalem and other israeli or palestinian sites do you think there's a risk now especially given the recent votes in the general assembly that israel and the us could withdraw from other parts of the un or from the organization as a whole we have been through such cycles of un bashing. eventually israel and presumably the united states too would come back having symbolized. dead displeasure. is just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it ok many thanks for joining us my guest this is. a male or and my from television thank you. thank you.

in other news the families of british 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 the 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 turns of thousands of british troops took part one hundred seventy nine lost their lives. the official british inquiry into the water and the chilcote report was published last year criticize the government for rushing into the conflict based on flawed intelligence on these police about one man who lost his brother in the war. numerous occasions of mystic and the like why is of course the course someone i would be on first but not so long book and thought i was dearest 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 twin bond kind of thing and i never really believe in this kind of thing i'm quite pragmatic. bought there is you realize a tremendous 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 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 they 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 or 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 it had weapons of mass destruction 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 well 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 or 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 in museums the iraq war may have been pushed into the archives but have families like mike's the wounds of losing their loved ones are is rule as ever the dissemination are never a great time for us as a family but you know all those little and aversion between so like the nineteenth for example was the. you know the eleven twenty we brought him back a lot kind of stuff so it does feel like a little bit kicking the takes you know consider which saw

a long for the rule and. he. brings you right up to date thanks for staying with l.t. international but with the latest headlines see you in half an hour. flight for 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 for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager kill the narrowness and spend be true to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing

else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance with. going to. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things were considered peter lavelle it would seem the more the anti trampers push to have the president removed from office the more we learn about the media in such places as the f.b.i. how they really work to date the investigation known as russia gate has revealed precious.
