maroney claims that she was paid to keep quiet about years of child abuse by a u.s. team got. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with mina karen great to have you with us this hour. israeli soldiers reportedly killed two palestinians and injured around sixty others as another wave of protests flared on friday the on the rest comes in response to donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel paula slater who's in the west bank for us and gaza based journalist ten crew to report on the turmoil. the situation here is extremely was no. out of breath because we've been running down the road now and. holders have made their way to the right in see them off to my left i'm a car and look someone

a certain way in firing tear gas and everybody's been running amok in such a rich and. the soldiers are just you know to hit us. all the way into the pit. you can tell the ambulances so they certainly will be you. who has been in. and at the same time are just going by coming over to the back of the posse somehow exactly what. we say can provoke we've taken cover in a way in a petrol station. and coming into a situation where informants how can a man who often pick. up and. we're standing right over here you can see that there's a number of injured people you can see the insist on 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 able to sing also from allah but they really have come all the way in now so. now. that. 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 stomach so really 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 enraged. this

friday was different other than the two fridays people were very close to the fence this time and we have very important leader actor and polluted sions and activist joining the civilians during the protests as you see there 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's another another injury right now and they're actually throwing gas bombs and 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 in guards are the west bank already jerusalem are strip protesting are still demonstrating people are certain expressions their anger. and so comes after the united nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn and donald trump's unilateral

decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital only nine member states including the u.s. voted against the resolution the one hundred twenty eight who voiced support for its believe the dispute over the city's status can only be resolved through talks the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley has said however that the widespread criticism will not make any difference to washington be 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 such as rivals saudi arabia under wrong well united in their condemnation of the u.s.

move on jerusalem. the use of the veto obstructed the security council unable 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. threatening all the other members this is bullying and this jumble will not walk to the dock several analysts we spoke to think the un made the right decision to ignore the pressure and threats 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 as we all know in a new era in which a major. resort through blackmail and bribery 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 such measures i do think that it will be controllable of the united states were to carry through threats of this kind because they're called indicate restraints in future situations and gives a great against iraq you state they do so very wrong. boris johnson has visited moscow for the first time as the u.k. sporran secretary the trip comes during a period of strained relations franco 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 a mass 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 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 of weeks ago he visited the russian embassy secretly to see the value 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. you know i want you to know it's a measure of my of my trust. soon as i got into this excellent for 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 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. when you're in a joint news conference with foreign minister lavrov perished on three even showed

off his russian language skills. i am who i am a russ a final and a they committed rough safeguard. the diplomatic relationship that is my four hundred fifty years old and dates from the time when the queen elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible right in the fall. to find the first foreign secretary in the history of my office to be cool. customers as i said earlier only buying loads more british things for a few cattle crisps to go to bed. somebody has just given me a pat from the fed they're only solution because of his new student you get i guess that's the fs. the first said so

when it comes to trust or trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to call him no bull wrist nobody's. going to buy these stuff. as i think as i think. ronald reagan mikhail gorbachev used to say trust but there is. a coming war that is in russian but in our program i'm ready to trust without any verification. the british foreign secretary also visited a red square as well as saying central moscow is landmarks hidden fifteen laid flowers at the tip of the unknown soldier a world war two memorial by the kremlin. we discussed the trip with political commentator and journalist john the boy tate thinks it's unlikely to help improve relations between the u.k. and russia. that your contents of the visit were deeply deeply disappointing because boris johnson just went over the as an echo chamber of this network over your corn think tanks in establishment press that are really the sources of this.

russian history to this new york mccarthy we boris johnson went near is here's messenger not as the inner city of the british people which is his first function it was that his own thing feel you're not the girl no progress will be made in terms of fermenting better solutions between russia and the u.k. polish johnson really is this washington's placement in wonder and this is this is the team to me tina domination of the washington consensus the so-called washington consensus which has enjoyed a game in it for the last three decades or more which is losing i gave money because of the rise of russia and the rise of china and other countries economically geo politically strategically and culturally. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the country's envoy to unesco to submit an official withdrawal from the organization here's how the envoy

explained the decision unesco has broken records of people to see incitement and lies against israel and the jewish people while polluting its noble core principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on and semitism our new york correspondent kelly more pain has more on israel's decision. comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the united states and israel of you know ask those activities now you know asco 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 eleven go 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 you know it's good it liberation no empty speech you know june i went to the revolution we divide about. 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 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 we talked to israeli totemist and they are and he thinks the israeli move if it just to this can be taken too seriously. every u.n. agency. battlefield in the foreign policy and diplomacy arena and unesco use no different than the human rights council and others but whether or not to use relish grow from it is another matter altogether because. just we drawing just leaving the field to others he's not the 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. dead displeasure. is just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it u.s. intelligence chiefs claim that national security will be undermined if congress doesn't act quickly to a new and expiring surveillance will not and more off the show break stay with us. to get manmade global warming incinerating planet earth and causing an eco but the corporations feel like you know what that might cost us a penny at the end of the year so we do have donek adjustment to our algorithm it will take out the city in alaska that would flag us to take action appropriate first survival of the species and we're going to instead rely on our balance sheet and our algorithm like i'm going to g.p.s. monitor your car that's pointing over

a cliff i don't care if the cliff is there my algorithm says it's not there so i keep driving i do a film and always going to go right over the cliff because of the data tells me. what poses and. put themselves on the line. big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be. considered like the beatrice that's what before three of them or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. welcome back olympic gymnastics champion mckayla maroney has claimed 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 allegedly tried to bribe maroney not to speak out artists american has more on the shocking revelations kayla 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. olympic 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 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 my last sport it seems 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 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 us a gymnastics requesting that the organization participate in a confidential mediation the process culminated in a settlement agreements that included a mutual nondisclosure cools and a mutual disparagement clause 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 bandaged 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 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 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 medal 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 we discussed moronis claims with former gymnast rachel dunn holland she was the first to publicly accuse former u.s. team doctor laurie north of sexual assault on stand her and i wasn't surprised about the allegations of a wide scale coverup. 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 bella and martha curley 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 their 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 you as a g. has a longstanding policy of covering up sexual predators larry nassar is not an exception by any stretch of the imagination when 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 is demanding only u.s. gymnastics chiefs are replaced by those who quote put athlete safety first my children holland 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 your legal 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. u.s. intelligence leaders have been putting pressure on congress to reauthorize the national security agency's warrantless surveillance program it expires at the end of this year they say if it'll make his due not to renew it national security will

be undermined if congress fails to reauthorize this or foresee the intelligence community will lose valuable foreign intelligence information and the resulting intelligence gaps will make it easier for terrorists weapons proliferation is malicious cyber axes and other foreign adverse reese to plan attacks against our citizens and our lives without detection. if we authorize ation would allow section seven o two of the foreign intelligence surveillance act to remain in place for another for we is the secret internet spying program began after the nine eleven attacks its purpose is to collect data from foreign targets but is also allowed the interception of americans communications in certain cases to critics and social activists say they fear the renewal will actually lead to increased levels of surveillance. the proposed bill is not a reform measure on the contrary it would expand surveillance ground to government

more authority and other provisions of fisa and could be read to codify current on lawful surveillance practices well attorney michael flanagan outlines to us his concerns about the program under the law they are allowed to listen for just a few seconds i mean it's regulated down to to an actual time limit i don't know exactly what it is but it's really a tiny amount of time that they're allowed to listen but they get to keep read dialing the same the same frequency you know keep listening for a few seconds and turn it off and start again turn off and start again and we have more than a little bit of evidence that that has happened in an effort to listen in on other calls and when they're actually trying to listen to the american and so you have a ridiculous subterfuge gone through some some some crazy crazy handstands that have gone through simply to have intelligence agencies of the united states spying on citizens of the united states which is absolute there's no one in congress who would approve such a thing but this law allows them as you correctly observed

a backdoor way to be able to do that on the back of the top of the hour with the latest headlines us either. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution you craft someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be
