expectancy in the u.s. is getting shorter for the second now that's according to the center for disease control and prevention and they predict this downward trend will only continue it doesn't look at me but we haven't seen movements to years in the row in the claw new life expectancy since the spanish flu one hundred years ago would be and. sorts of territory which is extremely concerning now this is all while other major causes of death like heart disease and cancer have dropped however overdose deaths have been on the rise estimated to be around sixty three thousand six hundred that's more than the number of us soldiers that died during the vietnam war around fifty eight thousand and that's not it about two thirds of drug related deaths were linked to opioid use so it's pretty safe to say that america's been dealing with an opioid crisis that's only getting worse.
7:10 am
every one of those little represents the person that we lost. now this epidemic has resulted in a few shocking cases in the us in ohio a coroner's office ran out of space to store dead bodies in west virginia officials have spent over eight million dollars just to transport dead bodies and you would think that this would raise some concern in washington and it did in my administration is officially declaring the opioid crisis a national public health emergency under federal law and why i am directing all executive agencies to use every appropriate emergency authority to fight the opioid crisis however the government has an allocated any additional funding to deal with this crisis while the former c.e.o. of a company that produces opioid meds as

welcome back friday has been declared the force of day of rage since president trans union asked your decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel these are the latest pictures from west bank cities trump intends to move the us embassy to jerusalem plans global condemnation with protests held around the world earlier rallies in the west bank left dozens dead and overwhelming majority at the un general assembly voted to reject the move countries are now calling to recognize east jerusalem as the capital of a palestinian state the u.s. decision and his decades of american neutrality on one of the most complex issues in the region as both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem. or friday's protests came after the u.s. ambassadors who israel claimed palestinians had over reacted to donald trump's
7:17 am
decision he added the reaction to the move had been ugly and anti semitic well meanwhile it's been revealed washington proposed to make a small west by village the palestinian capital as part of a bigger peace plan artie's paula slip visited the village called abu dis. this is a neighborhood of jerusalem that is home to some twelve thousand people and which has been under israeli occupation since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven it is also being offered as the future capital of the states now that is according to the former head of harm us. the united states offered to give the palestinian authority account with rule and city in the abu dis area far from jerusalem so there is a bridge linking abu dis and the al aqsa mosque is also part of the peace plan that is being presented by the saudis and it does seem plausible if you remember that president trump is planning to move his embassy to jerusalem but if you swim across
7:18 am
here and you see the security the israeli security barrier which runs through the middle of abu dis it begs the question how can a place like this so is the capital of a future palestinian state in theory it is possible to have direct access from abu dis to the muslim holy sites in the distance in the old city and there is a plan that is being put forward to pulled a bridge from here to the alex a compound which is the third holiest site in islam without that access that would be a conversation stopper but it is hard to believe that palestinians would support us . we want jerusalem to be for the palestinians not just for the israelis our home is here our life is here. they get old hold a holy place in the name of if used in the name of capitalism or democracy there is no ins you have to be holy to hold the holy name whatever the future of this
7:19 am
village one thing is clear president trumps decision to move his embassy to jerusalem will have far reaching consequences what is suggesting is exactly the israeli thinking americans are reading only reading the israeli plan to the area don't want really a state in the west bank and if they want to make it in an enlarged gaza for that purpose they will continue to control your resume there will continue to grow the borders of the with the banks and they will continue to grow as well and more than sixty percent of the with bank area are don't think that the palestinian would agree at any time or any palestinian leader with agree at any time to what the americans and is very are offering. a spanish court has ruled in favor of a man who was sued by his ex-wife for breach of their daughter's pregnancy for reading her whatsapp conversations the mother claimed that her child's privacy had been
7:20 am
violated the judge decided that it's a parent's responsibility to monitor their children's internet use as the social network require proper vigilance for adults well the daughter also gave permission to read her chance for the couple also have a son who apparently refused to show his father his whatsapp messages or the ruling could set a legal precedent for cases involving children's activity on social media. well my colleague nicky aron discussed the story with george bader a political activist and social justice campaigner and stephen morris from the english democrats party looking at the case it looks like these obviously a bit of animosity between the two parents. something obviously not been reported between what's been going on between them too and he's obviously got concerns regarding what is going on obviously you have a responsibility to make sure that your children are using social media responsible you know there's a lot of. things happening in the world today and we've been told that we have to
7:21 am
monitor social media to see what's going on and we have to be careful of what our children are actually. seeing and engaging in personally i don't think it should be the norm at all i think you know. rewind sort of thirty years in a child's right to a diary and if the child finds out the parent has looked in their diary then probably the child will be very upset and will have very real grievances and concerns that the parent has not respected them appropriately in the parent will then have to justify the child why they did that. you know the child will probably that it's not an appropriate thing the pair will have to just like. in other ways we go back to this question of right and wrong versus whether or not the courts should be involved so i think you know there are all sorts of issues here but i think it's important not to treat the current world as if it's entirely novel you know these issues of how parents and children negotiate questions of privacy versus parental responsibility even if children are raised without having their privacy
7:22 am
respected isn't there a risk they're going to grow to be more tolerant of invasions of their privacy later in life for example government snooping perhaps well children something memorial i've always kept secret from the parents that's that's a given it's always up and the issue now is with social media it's a lot greater and a lot wider than we ever envisioned when i was a child you know our interaction was just as. the community centers. around the bush elton's which is what kids do but now the a lot wider people travel a lot for further and there's a lot more danger with social media i think we are faced with a danger whether more or thirty governments and courts have to police the relationship between parents and children the more that ends up becoming a pretext for further surveillance of our communications itself so i think keeping the family private is an important part of keeping the government away from
7:23 am
inappropriate surveillance of citizens. the holiday season is in full swing and russia's biggest annual celebration new year is just a couple of days away moscow some does mean decorations and this chair it's dressed to impress and if you're planning to visit his sneak preview.

7:27 am
s. punk rock grew out of rejection of the claustrophobic excesses of mainstream rock music in the one nine hundred seventy s. punk became a cultural phenomenon that shook the status quo to the core and change the face of music culture and even politics forever punk rock is one of the few genres of music that truly does give voice to the voiceless. and with a with a true true celebration of individuality and rejection of mainstream ideology from the ramones to the sex pistols to the clash the legacy culture of creativity and musical freedom of punk rock can not and will not be silenced by by those who would go along to get along so today let's strike a chord as watching the hawks. goes public if you want to know but still would know
