was. much of a count as another day of rage is called across palestine in the wake of donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. and. we're standing right here you can see that there's a number of injured people you can see people insist they are hiring people with them. boris johnson visits russia for the first time as british foreign secretary talking trade election meddling and even attempting to russia. that is just give me leave for the book because it is nice too there you go i guess that's the if is the . world of sports is turned off the olympic gymnastics champion mckayla maroney

claims that she was paid to keep quiet about years of child abuse by a u.s. team doctor. a very warm welcome you watching our team international with mina karen great to have you with us this hour our top story israeli soldiers reportedly killed two palestinians and injured around sixty others as another wave of protests flat on friday the on the west comes in response to donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel paula slayer who's in the west bank for a sound gaza based journalist hinde cruger a report on the turmoil. the situation has an extremely was no. kind of grace because i've been running down the road now and. it's all just made their way to the right in see them off my last time

a cardinal someone aged in firing a gas and everybody's been running amuck the streets are rich and. the soldiers are just you know to hear us. all the way into the pit. you can have the ambulances so they certainly will be the sheeple who have 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. of a moving out of the into the trees and when come it's hard to know who will pick. up the 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 sam you

can see the israeli tanks which in the last few minutes just made their way from up the road to emmaus into people facing also from but they really have come all the way in now so. 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 these waiting 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 decided very important leader act and polluted sions 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 separate testing are still demonstrating people are searched pressing their anger. with this all comes off the united nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn donald trump unilateral decision to

recognize jerusalem as israel's capital only nine member states including the u.s. voted against a resolution the one hundred twenty eight who voiced support for it but if the dispute over the city status could 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. 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 such as rivals saudi arabia and iran where united in their condemnation of the u.s.

is move on jerusalem. the use of the veto obstructed this acuity council and made him a bill to perform his duties and do decades or work of the international community it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of palestinian people it must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members very threatened or the other members this is bullying and this jumble will not walk to the dock several analysts we spoke to think the u.n. 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 i think we all know. the 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 the state to create a major. member of the security council has resorted to such measures i do think that it will be deplorable it's united states will to carry through and through its of this kind because they're called indicator states in future situations if you play vote against the united states they do so. our stance and has visited moscow for the first time as the u.k.'s foreign secretary the trip comes during a period of strained relations if you're trying to i was following johnson's meeting with this 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 i'm afraid abundant evidence of. russian interference

in the elections in. germany. from. america but as i say there is no 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 is a committed rusa 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. 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 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 during their joint news conference with foreign minister lavrov boris johnson even showed off his russian language skills.

i am who i am a russ a final and they committed rusty thought. to the diplomatic relationship that is my four hundred fifty years old and dates from the time when queen elizabeth sent an envoy to ivan the terrible right in the fall. so that i'm the first foreign secretary in the history of my office to be called boris. russian customers as i said earlier only buying loads more british things from kettle crisps to. somebody has just given me a pad from the figure around the sludge bar b. as opposed to that you get i guess that's the fs.

it's the best so when it comes to trust or trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to call him not boris but buddies. get to buy these stuff. as i think as i think. ronald reagan mikhail gorbachev used to say trust but very good. come the war that is in russian but in the program i'm ready to trust without any verification. the british foreign secretary also visited red square as well as saying central moscow's landmarks he and his team laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier a world war two memorial by the kremlin. but we discussed the trip with political commentator and journalist john white paper ink that's unlikely to help improve relations between the u.k. and russia. the actual contents of the visit were deeply deeply disappointing because boris johnson just went over the it is an echo chamber of this network over your corn think tanks in establishment press are really the sources of this.

russian hysteria this new york mccarthy we also went near is here's messenger nor is the inner city of the british people which is his first function was that his own thing feel yet another garneau progress will of the need in terms of fermenting better relations between russia and the u.k. boris johnson really is is washington's place my 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 any follow us three decades or more which is losing a game many because of the rise of russia and the rise of china and other countries economically geopolitically strategically and cultural. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has ordered the country's envoy to unesco to submit to submit an official withdrawal from the organization here's how the envoy explained the decision. has broken records of hypocrisy incitement

and lies against israel and the jewish people while polluting is noble core principles we politicize asian and diplomatic terrorism sometimes bordered on anti semitism our new york correspondent caleb maupin 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 asco his 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. 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 didn't want to be revolution. 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 his main economist a man oren he thinks the israeli me is the gesture this shouldn't be taken too seriously. every u.n. agency. 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 or should we grow from it is another matter altogether because. just we throwing just leaving the field to others is not the acceptable to many israelis we have been through such cycles of un bashing. eventually israel learned presumably the united

states too would come back having symbolized. dad displeasure. is just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it. and then pick 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 not to speak out samir khan has more on the shocking revelations became a moroni america's elliptic darling one of the world's most famous gymnast 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 rony 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 but 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 you. 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 sport 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 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 it sixty mccullough's attorney at the time gloria allred approached us 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 norm disparagement 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. 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 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 use say gymnastics chairman vice chairman and treasurer have focused their attention on money a matter while usa gymnastics is attempting to cover up the largest child sex abuse scandal in the history of. they must be replaced by people who pose 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 be lympics is something that brings people who enjoy sure from the outside looking in it's an amazing story i didn't i got there the not without a price well we discussed minorities claims with former gymnasts rachel downhaul and she was the first to publicly accuse former u.s. team doctor larry now so off sexual assault in holland i wasn't surprised about the 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. 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 u.s.c.g. who 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 us he has a longstanding policy of covering up sexual predators larry nassar is not an exception by any stretch of the imagination well 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 all u.s.

gymnastics chiefs sarver place by those who quote put athlete safety first right to then 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 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 think it is time for the u.s.o.c. 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 lawmakers do not win new it the national security will be undermined if congress fails to reauthorize this or forty 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 attacks is and other foreign adverse reason to plan attacks against our citizens and our lives without detection. the reauthorize ation would allow section seven o two of the foreign intelligence surveillance surveillance act to remain in place for another four years the secret internet spying program began after the nine

eleven attacks its purpose is to collect data from foreign targets but does also allow for 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 grants the government more authority and other provisions of pfizer and could be read to codify current unlawful surveillance practices attorney michael flanagan outlined to as 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. from 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 have correctly observed the backdoor way to be able to do that. and the families of british soldiers killed in the iraq war have abandoned their legal battle to have former prime minister tony blair and other u.k. government officials prosecuted for war crimes the lawyers say 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 with one hundred seventy nine losing their lives the official

british inquiry into the wall known as the chilcote reports was published last year it criticised the government for rushing into the conflict based on flawed at intelligence boyko went to meet one man who lost his brother in the war. on the numerous occasions of mystic and the like why is of course the cost someone's out of memphis but not so long book store i was doing this 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 and i never really believe in this kind of thing i'm quite pragmatic. bought the raise. you realize a tremendous switched off together with the 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 to 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 west family the family has destroyed some of the families you know to this day that 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 then we found out that the outcome was kind of like will what was all this for you know and also that from a sort of nine years down the line does not closure at all it just all seem very very pointless with all the legal i have the iraq war families king a petition demanding that parliament holds the politician 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 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 december in 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 funeral the elevons when we brought him back in the store for them so it does feel like a little bit of a kick in the teeth you know consider which saw alone for the ruling. party darlington. i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines. russian athletes take. a live picture remains controversial what awaits the olympians himself career and more importantly what awaits them after they get split .
