israel's prime minister orders the country's withdrawal from unesco despite having several recognized world heritage sites. a u.s. olympic gold medalist reveals the years long abused by a team doctor and accuses high ranking sports officials of buying his silence we spoke to another former gymnasts who was the first have publicly come forward. i wish i could say that i was surprised but the reality with us egypt asterix is they have a decades long policy of covering up sexual abuse. and facebook admits that its fake news red flag system is having the opposite effect by attracting even more views to

suspicious articles. you're watching out international live from moscow studio with me in india to welcome to the program the israeli prime minister has ordered the country to withdraw from you know the un's culture and heritage organization it follows a similar move announced by the united states in october over a perceived bias against israel here's how that countries and boyd to the agency explain the decision you know has broken records of people incitement against israel and the jewish people while polluting its noble core principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on semitism with more on israel's move his caleb moore. 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 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 the 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 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 recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from the nasco that happened in october and when the united states pulled out of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. you know a dozen world heritage sites across israel representing three thousand years of history israeli newspaper columnist are mere or ren believes the organization is also a platform for diplomatic action and that israel may eventually reverse its decision

. 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 or should grow from it is another matter altogether because just we drawing just leaving the field to others is not 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. their displeasure. just a gesture one shouldn't read too much into it meanwhile both gaza and the west bank

have seen. straight week on the west in the region demonstrations of the fighting left to palestinians and more than sixty injured. palestinian fatah parties called for christmas celebrations to be canceled in finding more days of range instead the ongoing unrest in the region comes in the wake of u.s. president downtimes decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. in the palestinian administered city of ramallah israeli soldiers were pushing back paramedics who were trying to reach the injured troops used weapons and other forceful measures preventing emergency crews from reaching the wounded. on thursday the united nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn donald trump's you that unilateral decision most members believe the dispute over the city status should only be resolved by talks and the nine states including the usa today

against the resolution and voiced support for trump's move even so the country's u.n. ambassador remained undeterred putting the focus on the few friends backing the jerusalem decision. this will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect in the us and this will be remembered.

it's. the jewish communities in germany say the facing growing semitism many say they've been the target of discrimination or harassment on a daily basis and believe the problem has been made worse by the u.s. president's controversial position to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has all europe correspondent peter although. oh yeah. that israeli flag burning in the center of. the aftermath of the u.s. decision on jerusalem but apart from protests it's feared the backlash would

overstepped the line into attacks against jewish people a police investigation is underway here in berlin following a shocking display of anti semitism outside of a jewish restaurant plus what i know from your i six me your dimensions and the possible information need much. because. the owner of the restaurant says he expects these type of attacks considering the current climate it was a typical latest incident thing against jews the typical. israelis bed story is a bit and go to the gas chamber in five years. we have unfortunately a lot of cases different in this similar to do mostly it's an anemic we get a lot of phone calls with. in fact the

leaders in the jewish community say that peace type of incidents a far more common than we may think think it's a horrible incident but i think it's something what happens sometimes on a daily basis here in germany i wouldn't say that it's that it's a bad feeling as a jew living in germany but on the other side there are things happening and if you're a member of a community or an institution you get confronted with those kinds of incidents. like really every day the u.s. position on jerusalem has certainly added fuel to a backlash against israel but if you look at a study that was carried out just this year over sixty percent of the youths who were surveyed who were from a jewish background said that they had faced until semitism. on a daily basis with almost thirty percent saying that they've been targeted or harassed in the last year just this last month in the venting district of a schoolboy was attacked by

a group of classmates who told him that hitler was good because he killed the jews from the government side we've heard a strong response from the german justice minister us any kind of anti semitism is an attack on everyone and he said it is a must never be allowed to have a place in society again but looking at an uptick in attacks in germany targeting jews that may seem easier said than done peter all over. the u.s. olympic committee and the country's gymnastics governing body are being accused of helping cover up years of sex abuse and child molestation and the lawsuit filed by champion gymnast mckayla maroney she alleges to have been abused by a u.s. team doctor for years and paid to keep silent she also accuses other sports institutions of preventing her from publicly coming forward more details from samir a cop. mckayla maroney america's a limp 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 i left the sport it seemed when ever and wherever this man could find a chance i was treated this carries night of my leg happened when i was fifteen

years old i had flown all day and night with the team to go to tokyo he'd given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was alone with him in his hotel room getting treatment i thought i was going to die that night but one would naturally have expected 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 system into agreements that included a mutual non-disclosure cools and a mutual 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 a man you know pandered to me. front of my mother when i was eleven the fact that he just thinks oh i flew to 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 lympics are something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in it's an amazing story i did it i got there but not without a price we discuss money claims with former gymnasts rachel downhaul and she was the first to publicly accused former u.s. team doctor larry nasr of sexual assault and isn't surprised about claims of a big cover up. you know i wish i could say that i was surprised but the reality with usa gymnastics is they have a decades long policy of covering up sexual abuse and of and of silencing victims

some of the most prominent coaches in the u.s.c.g. who have trained olympians those those coaches have been found guilty of sexual abuse too and again like like their member coaches they were allowed to continue preying on little girls and even their elite athletes for decades and usa jews response to that was was to defend under oath testimony to defend their policy saying they wanted to avoid a witch hunt so when you have an organization that has a decades long policy of supporting sexual predators 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. well you know mckayla said that she had signed her agreement in two thousand and sixteen but just a few months ago in august the o.c. register which is a local california newspaper did publish that they had been able to confirm that

another case had been settled in twenty fifteen with another victim of larry nasser in the lead gymnast so yes i think it's i think it's likely that there are others that have been silenced. i think there needs to be an investigation into whether the legal activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even legal under california law because it did involve felony sex offense crimes and i think there needs to be a complete board change from the top down because these board members have have made it very clear that the safety of little children is not their priority that they see nothing wrong with how they have handled not just the larry nassar situation but with how they've handled sexual predators in the organization for decades but 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. gymnasts write children holland there are red faces at facebook which admits that it's fake news flags floundering we'll explain why after the break. you got manmade global warming incinerating plan or is it 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 the 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 a car that's pointing over a cliff or something i don't care if the cliff is there by al gore themselves it's not there so i keep driving i do a film with always going to go right over the cliff because out of the data itself

like. russian asleep. remains controversial what awaits the olympians in south korea and more important board awaits them most of the good. welcome back to the program facebook's find today as fake news has resulted in a boomerang effect sidespin trying to read flag articles that contain false information but the bit in front tastes the sweetest explains. facebook sees itself on the frontlines of the fight against fake news there's

a huge amount of misinformation out there on the internet it's a problem we've been working hard on at facebook and we're committed to fighting it after all people want to see accurate information and so did we. that battle heated up in december two thousand and sixteen when facebook teamed up with fact checkers to flag stories it determined to contain so-called disputed content but when you're on the social media titans forced to admit not only is the method ineffective it may actually inspire the opposite of the desired reaction. academic research on correcting misinformation how shown that putting a strong image like a red flag next to an article may actually entrenched deeply held beliefs the opposite of fact to what we intended apparently a fake news label actually makes people more interested for example facebook red flagged this story by the new port buzz which claimed hundreds of thousands of irish people were brought to the us as slaves but the little red sign didn't stop it spread on the country traffic skyrocketed but facebook isn't daunted by the

discovery that flagging stories has backfired coming up with a new plan to provide alternative articles on long side possibly false stories to give people more context but the question remains are those alternative stories definitely relevant and balanced and who's actually making that call the choice of the articles the choice of the outlets is going to reflect human bias he would bias is inevitable whenever human beings are involved there's always going to be a social political cultural and so on bias and the selection of those related articles is going to reflect that facebook obviously has an agenda the people who work at facebook of individual agendas and bias sees they might not even be aware of their own biases as facebook and others struggle to contend with propagated news stories circulating on their sites the u.s. ambassador to the netherlands is not exactly helping matters after describing his own remarks as fake news. you mentioned in the debates. that there are no go zones in their lives.

we would call it fake which is i never said it was. yes there are no go zones in the netherlands. burn no no no no no no no no go zone. out that you know it's you have a problem with your second language ok. fake news obviously i didn't call that news i didn't you. know not. a single to do with. said these words in the beginning from his stance as a politician and when he was the second time he was already elected as ambassador of as an investment towards his words that's kind of weird of course i

don't think there will be any problems i think he will be just like all the other. people on the scene. now u.s. intelligence chiefs are urging congress to authorize the national security agency's far reaching spying program which expires at the end of the year they say that if lawmakers do not review it the country's 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 malicious cyber out says and other foreign adverse reste to plan attacks against our citizens and allies without detection the internet spying program was established in two thousand and eight it permits intelligence organizations to collect data from foreign targets but it also allows for the interception of americans communications in certain cases to critics

and social activists say they fear their 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 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 two 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. the same frequency you know keep listening for a few seconds and turn it off and start again turn off the start again and we have more than a little bit of evidence that that has happened in an effort to listen in and 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. how would you feel if you looked up into the night sky and saw this the sinister looking shape was spotted above los angeles in the us on friday it freaked out more than a few people who contacted police suspecting it to being anything from a u.f.o. to a missile attack the explanation was far more down to earth it was actually the final launch of the year from space x. the private contractor that got satellites into orbit and occasionally supplies to the international space station. kremlin bodyguards are getting a beast in their hand to hand combat skills from a top mixed martial arts fighter on time a lot of has been training agents and the federal protective service whose primary aim is to guard high ranking officials including the russian president.

i that's been in general more than since i was a kid to visit it and of course i never in general to be invited to train or special forces so i was very excited and joined every second of this we're trained professionals so we're always enjoyed a lot more when i get to coach people to that understand with wising is. the main thing you're in the fighting is not just the skilled skill can be learned it's the heart and this guys are ready to give their life for their country so they were made great for there's no doubt in my mind. homer versus the interviews and.

this is this is the former your honor i don't know where mills where you're sure home how does the who play you know it's what i told this in order in different businesses. round up of top stories fall out of got to follow us on facebook twitter. dot com i'll be back at the top of the out with more of the latest meeting so stay with us .

small room good them to come in the studio to eighty. thousand. east and see mia into. the so the four colors council. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to meet people this is the simple song alone even some company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us the. actual mr guys who got video by them to come up to go. i've been this is us to quote them out. for you member of the lift bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human rights of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than law or

it's about to hurt and the redistribution of our west works on their debt downwards we want our. favorite buddy i'm stephen baldwin to ask hollywood guy suspects they were proud americans first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. to suggest this is my buddy max. amos financial gurus well she's a little bit different. though the drama happening in our country and she did have some fun every day americans. really start to bridge the gap this is the great american.

i. was. taking yes the week let's talk about christmas and if you have any children in the room you might want to send them away or put their head inside some sort of burlap sack for worse so it's up to me because my goal before this segment is over is to christmas for everybody i. know there is that something about christmas i do like but if the whole point of the show is that is it a brutal truth the underage acted side of life then i can't let the fat bearded man escape on time star i got it ok. by the way i grew up with both christmas and hanukkah in my house so i got to see first hand how much hanukkah

socks you get that i said no. to toys just right there just not a day's both right there because i just don't give me a pile of plastic choice made by chinese children or get out of my face ok. i'm going to take my coins toys and my fourth get away i want to know that the kind of religion you run in here. you want to try to religion we're going to take your toys . but you know i don't like you know. i do not good start. so this so there are the normal things people criticize about christmas it's based on materialism and consumerism it's buying stuff you don't need putting it inside boxes that are necessary wrapped in paper you don't like to give to people you're ambivalent about but. the most obvious points or perhaps not the worst christmas or really santa clause is the first kind of grand

a lie you're told when you're a little i mean unless your uncle is secretly your father in which case you're dealing with a whole bigger issue. but for most of us the santa clause lie has a lot of important cultural lessons for our young impressionable brains if it shows us that it's ok to lie if everyone's involved in. the choices that the entire or adult of thor and terry in society that tells us what to do where to go out of the whole whole apparatus will jointly disc us as a group well you know your friends your neighbors and the news the weather norad norad this the decay reports santa claus great. care is nothing else in america that all of adult society agrees on doesn't matter if it's not even your religion you don't have to be christian if you're if you're up a polytheists.
