amnesty international had previously raised allegations against the you of complicity in the abuse of refugees it supported its claims with this video where a navy and coast guard is towing a refugee in the sea and another one is being whipped. up struggles to find new solutions to the migrant crisis we discussed with experts the latest italian decision to send troops to libya. i think this is some kind of emergency measure to finally stop the human trafficking to europe unfortunately our western imperialism actually lets through the situation as currently i'm so i think the and of conflicts in libya which was also crossed by the our western intervention. already in two thousand and eleven there won't be and so this crisis the sad thing is and this is where the whole thing falls apart is this should not be an italian
8:12 am
initiative this should be a european in the shooting of this should be a coordinate in the live and when you get a country like france for example negotiating with a different leader from mistress or raj in libya then you can see the degree of discontinuity that's going on this is something that should be tackled in a coordinated way within the european union and it's manifestly failed to do so. the united nations children's agency has called twenty seventeen and night may year for youngsters trapped in conflict zones unicef also says children are exposed to proof of violence on a daily basis. among

8:16 am
here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us especially the full on ourselves the only show i go out of my way to you know is the really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our two year marriage is good to see we are apparently better than that i see people you've never heard of love jack to the next president of the world bank so very. seriously he sent us an e-mail. welcome back friday has been declared another day of rage following president
8:17 am
chimes unilateral decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital these are the latest pictures from west bank cities trump also intends to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the promise of spot global condemnation with protests held around the world and the overwhelming majority of the u.n. general assembly voted to reject the move numerous countries are now according to recognize east jerusalem as the competence of the palestinian state the u.s. decision and decades of american neutrality on one of the most complex issues in the region as both israel and. have claims on jerusalem. the u.s. ambassador to israel has said palestinians overreacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way meanwhile it's been revealed washington proposed to make a small west bank village the palestinian capital as part of a bigger peace plan artie's paula slater visited the village called abu dis. this is a neighborhood of jerusalem that is home to some twelve thousand people and which has
8:18 am
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 hamas is mahavir. the united states office of the palestinian authority account with rule in city in the abu dis area far from jerusalem 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 swing across 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 serve as 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
8:19 am
a plan that is being put forward to pulled a bridge from here to the our x. 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 and. we want jerusalem to be for the palestinians not just for the israelis our home is here our life is here. they cannot hold 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 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 they don't want really a state in the west bank and if they want to make it in an enlarged gaza for that
8:20 am
purpose they will continue to grow. the borders of that was. as well and more than sixty per cent. of the with bank area and i don't think that the president would agree that any time or any palestinian leader with a green at any time to what the americans and is very. powerful painkillers are affecting life expectancy in america figures show opioids played a bigger role in overdose deaths last year than any other drug legal or illegal for tackling the addiction has become a national priority r.t. samir khan reports the nation's opioid epidemic drug overdoses this country's recent surge in opioid addiction incredible epidemic one of the most serious crises facing people in this country. the average life expectancy in the u.s.
8:21 am
is getting shorter for the second year in a row 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 any better we haven't seen more than two years in the row in decline in life expectancy since the spanish flu one hundred years ago would be entering sort 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 u.s. 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.
8:22 am
every one of those little girls represents the person we lost him. 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 had to send over a million dollars just to transport dead bodies and you would think that this would raise some concern in washington and it did 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 hasn't allocated any additional funding to deal with this crisis while the former c.e.o. of a company that produces opioid meds as
8:23 am
a nominated as health and human services secretary we are a country a culture that tends to look for quick fixes for simple solutions and particularly as it as it relates to drug use you know we think drug users are criminals or they're morally the fact that we stigmatize them or we offer them inadequate treatments the overemphasis drug prescribing rather than on seeking more comprehensive more complex solutions both to the problem of addiction but more generally of problems of human suffering and while people expect the government to act life expectancy continues to drop samir khan r t washington d.c. . no professor richard also says written about the failure to prosecute drug companies he claims the multinationals are downplaying the addiction risks.
8:24 am
the structure of the health care programs in these various countries does have an effect i think that doctors tend to prescribe opioids when there's private health insurance perhaps more so than. europe where there are government programs. the drug companies developed lobbied the medical profession and demand among doctors to prescribe these drugs for chronic pain which they weren't really designed to be used for so i think that perhaps has as much to do with it as. direct to consumer advertising. the drug companies didn't do their part either they downplayed the risks associated the addiction risks associated with opioid use. and therefore both physicians and patients were somewhat misled about about the risks clearly educational program would have helped
8:25 am
that and certainly it's needed now to try to prevent the problem from getting any worse. now on a lighter night the holiday season is in full swing and for russia the biggest celebration is just a couple of days away this year moscow's dressed to impress and posting some counselling to coronations.
