clashes break out as another day of rage is called across palestine in the wake of donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. because. we're seeing right through here you can see that there's a number of people you can see the incense i mean people with same. boris johnson visits russia for the first time as british foreign secretary talking trying to let should meddling and even attending some russian companies just give me of. the figure. be as opposed to there you go i guess that's the if this be.

the world of sport is stunned after a little pig gymnastics champion the cable moroni claims that she was paid to keep quiet about use of child abuse by the u.s. team doctor. good to have you with us midnight here in moscow my name's neil harvey and this is all to international. protests again broken out across palestine after another day of rage was called the demonstrations followed decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel slipped his in the west bank and gaza based journalist. report on the unrest. the situation here is extremely was no. great because we've been running down the road now.

holders have made their way to the right in see them off to my left i'm a foreigner some are natives in firing tear gas and everybody's been running amok the streets are rich and. the soldiers are just you know to hear us that's. all the way into the pit. you can hear the ambulances so they certainly will be you. who has been in. and at the same time adjusting my coming over to the back of the posse somehow exactly what. we've taken proper we've taken cover in a in a petrol station. waiting there in the way of a mooing going to be into a situation where informants how they can know how often they can. cause 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 from up the road they now seem to be the feasting also from allah but they really have come all the way in now so. that you know. 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've been hurling rocks and pavements at israeli soldiers who speaks only been inching their way closer they've been filing tear gas in the stomach so many are 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 politicizes and activist are 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 blood of bullets despite all the gas bombs despite all of the rebel berlitz by listening protesters whether in gods are the west bank already jerusalem are step protesting are still demonstrating people are certain expressions 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 while one hundred twenty i told us leave 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 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 clashed on major issues were united in their condemnation of the u.s. move on jerusalem rivals including saudi arabia and iran came together at the

general assembly. the use of the beat ups truck to the security council a media unable to perform duties and do 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 they threaten all the other members this is bullying and this will not walk to the road out several analysts that we spoke to think the u.n. 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 are inching a new era in which

a major. resort to blackmail and bribery in order to secure votes in the general assembly but this is the first occasion on which a state decree a major. member of the security council has resorted to such measures i do think that it will be deplorable it's united states were to carry through threats of this kind because they're called indicator states in future situations or give to a vote against the united states they do so wrong. johnson has visited moscow for the first time as the u.k. foreign secretary the trip comes while relations between the two countries are at an historic low artie's ill or trying to 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 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 fridge abundant evidence of. russian

interference in the elections in. germany. from. america but as i say there is new evidence of any successful russian into theories. 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 of 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

of these threats so far in the russian capital. but i want you to know it's a measure of my of my trust. to students i go to into this. try mediately handed my code my hat my gloves. everything that was in my pocket secret or otherwise to sergei lavrov in the knowledge that he would look after it and 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. ensuring the joint news conference with foreign

minister lavrov even showed off some impressive russian skills. a russian fine and they committed thought. a diplomatic relationship that is now four hundred fifty years old and dates from a time when the queen elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible writing before. that on the first foreign secretary in the history of my office to be cool boris. customers as i said earlier only buying. british things from camping crisps to. somebody has just given me a pad from the fed their only solution is a puzzle. i guess that's the fs.

so when it comes to trust i trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to call him no boris nobody's. going to buy these stuff. as i think as i think i'm wrong regular mikhail gorbachev used to say trust but there is. a come a war that is in russian but in our program i'm ready to trust without any verification. the british foreign secretary also visited red square as well as seeing central moscow's la motte c.n.n. team flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier a world war two memorial by the kremlin during the war britain and the soviet union fought together against nazi germany writer and broadcaster meredith jet ski thinks that johnson's visit will bring positive aspects but only in time. but you can see maybe some glimmer of hope on the horizon just in terms of the sort of growing report that there seem to be at that meeting between boris johnson and sergei lavrov. 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 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. olympic gymnastics champion mckayla maroney has claimed that she was abused for years as a child by the u.s. team doctor and then paid to keep silent the doctor michigan state university and the u.s. olympic committee have allegedly tried to bribe maroney not to speak out so we're a car has more on the shocking revelations. mckayla maroney america's a live big darling one of the world's most famous gymnast's u.s.

household name and victim of childhood sex abuse that apparently took place over years and when she wanted to speak out both usa gymnastics plus the u.s. the limpid committee made her keep quiet rhody claims she was paid hush money and is now suing them for silencing her she hired a lawyer and asked for a settlement conference or mediation to get justice to what she didn't 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 she's come forward with a horrific story of abuse by team u.s.a.'s former doctor larry nasser it started when i was thirteen years old and it didn't end until i left sports it seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the charms i was treated this scariest

nice of my life happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and night 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 a treatment i thought i was going to die that night but one would naturally have expected the usa gymnastics to support its crown jewel but the organization claims that she herself chose to settle this all quietly into in sixty mchale as attorney at the time gloria allred approached usa gymnastics requesting that the organization participate in a confidential mediation the process culminated in a settlement agreements that included a mutual non-disclosure cools and a mutual non disparagement clause yet moronis case is just the start over one hundred and fifty women have now accused the same doctor of sexual abuse i don't want to be in a courtroom telling about how a man you know be. me in front of my mother when i was alive and 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 now dr nasser admits to exploiting his position to abuse his patients and he was recently convicted and sentenced to sixty years in jail but his victims believe justice has still not been served and it's not just nassar who they insist must be punished but the sports officials who failed to protect the child athletes years say gymnastics chairman vice chairman and treasurer have focused their attention on money and matter while usa gymnastics is attempting to cover up the largest child sex abuse scandal in the history of sports they must be replaced by people who pose the health and safety of athletes first now the olympics is all about celebration and success but this scandal exposes the other side of the metal billion pixels something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in it's an amazing story i did it i got

there the not without a price earlier we discussed moronis claims with former gymnasts rachel than hall and she was the first to publicly accuse former u.s. team doctor larry nasser of sexual assault and hole in the wasn't surprised about the allegations of a wide scale coverup. you know i think there's plenty of evidence that there is 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 bella and martha 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 member

gyms so i think we already know that u.s.c.g. has a long standing 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 what's being called the biggest child abuse scandal in sports history demanding all u.s. gymnastics chiefs are replaced by those who quote put athletes safety first rachel didn't hold during things 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 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. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has ordered the country's envoy to you know asco to submit an official with drawl from the organization these are the envoy explain the decision you know asco has broken records of people to see incitement and lies against israel and the jewish people while deluding its noble core principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on the semitism. the latest from artie's correspondent kelly more pennies in new york kaleb as i

understand this was an expected decision. yes it comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the united states and israel of you know asco is activities now you nasco is the un's cultural agency now the israeli foreign ministry spokesperson specifically cited what he called the attempts to disconnect the history of jewish history from the land of israel now unesco has angered israel over the past year they passed resolutions in which they said that israel has no right to jerusalem they said that the temple mount and the old city are both muslim holy sites now as far back as twenty a leaven actually granted palestine full membership in its organization now this is danny the israeli ambassador to the united nations this is him touching on the recent decision no unifil declination no empty

speech you. know didn't want to be revolution will ever divide about him now recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from the nasco that happened in october and when the united states pulled out of the nasco they specifically cited what they called an anti israel bias now when that happened israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it a courageous and moral decision and praised the united states for doing that now the it stands for the united nations educational scientific and cultural organization it has a number of tasks it fights violent extremism around the world it promotes female education it promotes media freedom it also protects certain cultural sites around the world now what is in question at the moment is what will happen to certain cultural sites now that both the united states and israel are no longer

participants in this very important international body thanks of course from kelly more pin bring is right up to date. we talked to israeli columnist the me or and he thinks that the israeli move is a gesture that shouldn't be taken too seriously. every u.n. agency. a battlefield in the foreign policy and diplomacy arena and you know no different than the human rights council and others but whether or not israel should grow from it is another matter altogether because. just we throwing just leaving the field to others is not acceptable to many israelis we have been through such cycles of un bashing. eventually israel and presumably the united states too would come back having symbolized. their

displeasure. is just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it. would seem that putin has addressed russia's military it is annual meeting with the defense ministry has more on the president's plans for defense spending and foreign policy while putting a head on a number of issues everything from pensions to the military budget with of course a heavy emphasis on international defense strategies and he referred to america's current military strategy as being on the offensive and said that if you were to look at it from a military point of view then it was definitely have to be described as quote of aggressive and in reference to the build up of nato missile launchers on russia's doorstep who then said that his defense ministry can't ignore such potential threats and will have to be ready to react to them he added however that moscow is not interested in anyway and being the pleece of the world and leslie extending its

military might let's take a listen i'm seeing this without any irony we will rely on our peaceful foreign policy it's important because we don't need military bases all around the world and we don't want to be the world's policeman. and when it comes to russia's military budget one fact the shrinking next year and already pales in comparison to a number of countries throughout the world and put in also mentioned that it's better to take a brain over brawn approach to the world again we can take a listen to what he had to say on that so. we need wisdom that says that we won't rely exclusively on our so-called build to remodel we won't be dragged into an economically pointless shell exhausting arms race there is no way we will do that. if you were to do. so there you heard him while there is still fear is rising of an international arms race putin himself thought that russia will not be one to participate and that. the families of british soldiers killed in the iraq war have

abandoned legal battle to her former prime minister tony blair and other u.k. government officials prosecuted for war crimes their lawyers say that they have exhausted every possible means to get justice for those killed during the invasion it was fifteen years have passed now since the invasion of iraq tens of thousands of pretty streets took part one hundred seventy nine lost their lives the official british inquiry into the war known as the chilcote reports was published last year it criticised the government for rushing into the conflict based on flawed intelligence of these police who went to meet one man who lost his brother in the war. on the numerous occasions of been mistaken to like a white as a ghost of course someone's out of memphis but not so long book and thought i was david 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 said the twins have a twin bond kind of thing and i never really believe in this kind of thing i'm quite pragmatic. bought the reasons. 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 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 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 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 quote it at all it just all seem very very pointless with all the legal avenues closed off the iraq war families campaign

group is launching a petition demanding that parliament holds to politicians responsible for the war to account tony blair you know was your head in 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 eagle been privy to all of the information so your 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 the archives but for 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 aversion between so like the the nineteenth for example was the. you know the elevons when he brought him back all that kind of stuff so it does feel like a little bit of

a kick in the chase you know consider which saw a long for that rule and. see. and i've been she right up to date join me in half an hour for the latest headlines. local blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings in the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks for the tell you that
