international thank you for joining us. friday has been declared another day of rage following president trumps unilateral decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital trouble also intends to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the plans have sparked global condemnation with protests held around the world and i well majority at the u.n. general assembly voted to reject the move numerous countries are now calling to recognize east jerusalem as the capital of the palestinian state the u.s. decision and his decades of american neutrality and one of the most complex issues in the region is both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem in while a new wave of protest has abrupt it in the region. i'm here with these basic. points in northern ramallah where the soldiers have come all the way in and they firing tear gas so we're moving to the back there's a smaller crowd here than normal but they have as always been throwing rocks and

stones and sometimes molotov cocktails at the israeli soldiers this is the floor it's friday raids actually palestinians all over gaza. east jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against donald trump's declaration days right the army is throwing tear gas canisters on the protestors as since the morning since that announcement was made. well you can smell the tear gas from here so those terms made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian health ministry they also report that more than three thousand people have been injured it's escalating its uprising but that is right the army has been throwing tear gas canisters all the protesters are running away from the buffer zone found out that israelis have been shooting live that nation are probably it's because one hundred very very very

close to where he was standing so. the situation here like it has been for the last month. quite tense and we can certainly smell take a civil way there were at least five ambulances that. floor or three injuries. the u.s. ambassador to israel has said palestinians overreacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way meanwhile has been revealed washington proposed to make a small west bank village the palestinian capital as part of a bigger peace plan we visited the village called abu dis and asked people there what they think about the suggestion i'm not sure i'm sure we want jerusalem to be for the palestinians not just for the israelis. our life is here. they could have told hold a holy place in the name of if he is in the name of capitalism or democracy there's no names you have to be holy to hold the whole in the. sounds of kurdish speaking

as e.d.'s are still being kept hostage in iraq despite the fall of islamic state many of them are children who have been abducted and sold slave markets r.t. senior correspondent what i guess there are reports on the long way home from terrorist captivity nadia age location. starting bid ten thousand dollars russia. by location turkey starting with fifteen thousand dollars peanuts in. location syria starting bid. rounds of dollars. age fifteen. baghdad sold for two and thousand dollars the deal was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that new fifteen year

old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was bored back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted to risk her life she's. first hour. crying in the hotel room wearing my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever were to. let her rest would be brief as to how she was shown the shops are shut. up shut up with. so many people happy that she's. meeting her relatives took her shopping. but she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these kidnapped by isis they then

either negotiate the sale or steal them back so the big gun secrecy i don't think she got you know if i say that if we show the girl still in that possession on them with their relatives parents the deal will be on that they killed the hostages. as such some of the people involved didn't want to appear on camera but the stories. are good and that you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was. raped so for three years you can say it's a house here where there are several girls sand eleven twelve years old who are old raped gifted are sold as many as fifteen songs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes using children and sends them on suicide missions or sells them for money. when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves

because they need money to go back to their home countries. but when the u.s. led coalition and their allies in syria repeatedly led to hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged raca bloomsday hardest took not only the guns and families but the. some of the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on the border back of the big get the prices vary depending on where there are if they're in dangerous places you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifty thousand. others is also tracking down in the south and you so one iraqi army has made a name for herself rescuing children. don't know that she spent her own money buying out several of these kids and that i have actually met one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were in

isis captivity two of the terrorism watch them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told one of them that she couldn't sleep and asked to see a doctor the isis fighter gave her some sleeping pills she kept them then put them in his tea a terrorist fell asleep and she and her managed to escape the girl was eight years old in the song and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her that it's destroyed and run away they will kill us anyway most and they skate three thousand years edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer. cares if these don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover that children and to help them to heal from what isis has done to them or our guys they have seen

from the hawk iraq. contacted several human rights organizations about what's being done to help the victims of these crimes so far only a few have responded including the red cross. the battles in mosul and ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with this lamech said group or any other party in iraq families do not know the fate of their loved ones and if they have the right to know the fate of the loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict what we do to assist because we know that the process to look and search for missing loved ones is a really painful process that can go on for many many years and we call on the

anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach an international committee of the red cross and to report the missing case so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing well as was just mentioned many people went missing after the fierce battles for mosul despite the city's liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone and the red squares on the map to show just how much of my son has been obliterated yet following isis to fate locals say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's most beautiful cities.

we haven't received any aid from the government or any of the organization. completely destroy it i don't feel like coming back to it's own i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. in the u.k. facebook and twitter could face sanctions if they don't help a parliamentary investigation into alleged russian interference in the brics it voters head to the so-called fake news inquiry m.p. damian collins has now given the social media giants almost three weeks to hand

over all the information he's requested they need to be able to tell us what they can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognise that you are best placed to mean that so what is going on your own so it's but if you fail to police the so effectively and deal with highly problematic content then it has to be some sort of sanction against you damien khalid's the chair of the department of culture media and sports select committee in the u.k. parliament he's leading this investigation into so-called alleged russian interference in the e.u. referendum and he's really slammed these tech giants the social media giant saying that they aren't handing over enough information and that the information that they are handing over is the same that they handed over to the electoral commission earlier this month and we can look at some of the numbers of come forward facebook for example handy go of information which says that's

a story russian what taken out with only two hundred views or two hundred people viewing those ads and the total cost of ninety seven cents spent on the damian collins saying that no work has been done by face. but to look for other fake accounts and twitter as well handing over information saying that only six tweets from r.t. account at a cost of a thousand dollars again mr collins saying that twitter the information that they've shared is completely inadequate now we've spoken to facebook they've told us that they are closely cooperating with the electoral committee but that they don't have any evidence thus far of russian actors attempting to influence the brig's that vote but this all is very similar to the types of inquiries we've been seeing in the u.s. and looking into the presidential election there and again ledged russian interference and we've also heard from the u.s. senator mark warner who's also been very critical of those social media giants i

was concerned at first that some of the social media platform companies did not take things threats seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now they've provided us with information because these social media giants they've continuously stressed the number of ads in the the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about for example president obama before that bridge was a referendum came to the u.k. he gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention there given to seoul called american interference so many people making those points as well. and to discuss those points further we can now cross live to adam gary an independent political commentator adam thank you very much indeed for waiting on me when we heard from damian collins there i mean what do you think about that warning to the

social media giants i mean is there a real possibility of sanctions. well on the surface of it it's always nice to see the just as revolutions always eat their own the corporate government complex can eat its own too but the excitement is it is quailed quite quickly when one realizes that governments and big corporations that generally have the same goals occasionally scratch each other's backs to hoard and draw blood it's it amounts to something a bit like this a government will go to a big social media corporation and say look you've got a really good in build espionage infrastructure for us to collect and aggregate data about our citizens and those in other countries if you cooperate with us we'll just overlook the big bank account in the virgin islands or some other well known tax code to it really comes down to irresponsible corporate governance

irresponsible political governance and a lack of transparency on both sides and in order to stir hoodwink the public about this of this sort of back scratching competition which occasionally draws blood they need a distraction it's either a sex scandal it's russian meddling it's all sorts of things anything that's exciting and that unquestioning consumers of media who do not question more will swallow then they'll be one step more distracted and removed from the actual truth which is about governments in the west in particular actors brands and they work with corporate brands and that's really a sad reflection on the transparency of western governments well let's also look at what the wider picture here with the social media giants there beyond are lots of pressures we heard them up what mark warner was saying a lot of pressure from the us i mean in these circumstances is it normal for a private company as a social media chants are to be pressurised this much by governments. well if there

was truly a separation of state and corporate governance them it wouldn't be the case when as a last time governments pressured phone companies or energy companies to charge less when it was when was the last time governments pressured companies to reveal what sorts of g.m.o. products are in the fruits of the things that actually matter to people but when it's about things like this you see the open collusion and that is the word of the day between governments and big corporations there was of course the famous incident a few years ago in the us where the f.b.i. requested apple to turn over the encryption material for their i phone and that was a big dispute ultimately they did it with private sector agents which most people agree were attached to the israeli regime and so you really see a convoluted web of governments across the world spy agencies and corporations

all either in competition or holding each other's hands and big ring back and forth and using the smokescreen of russia to distract people from the fact that both corporations and governments on being responsible to their citizens and to their consumers to their publics that's the real scandal this total lack of transparency and the fact that instead of having a discussion with citizens corporations and governments have closed doors totally under its parent discussions with themselves and we leave it there adam gary independent political commentator thank you very much thank you the italian interior minister has a controversial way to prevent refugees from heading to the new one that story after this short break.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the navy seals exactly just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch immediately much of the really packs a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than two thousand and six and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank go take. me seriously send us an e-mail. seemed wrong. but all quotes just don't call. me. yet to shape out just come out to. engage me because the trail. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back italy's to send almost five hundred troops to the border between issue and lie in libya saying it wants to control human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants italy's prime minister has branded michette the main transit country in africa for europe bound migrants troops will be deployed to fort madonna on the border between the asia and libya an area described as a gateway for refugees who want to cross the mediterranean we're told we repeat officials have already called for military action however the toughest deals been sealed by italy's interior minister who's raising eyebrows after boasting about his mafia tactics.

i want to make a mark. only when i reassured them that i was from calabria a region where deals and alliances a suit with blood that they finally agreed to sign. monitors was shocked by what they witnessed thousands of them may see to them traumatized men women and children piled on top of each other locked up in hang is with no access to the most basic necessities and stripped of their human dignity.

amnesty international had previously raise allegations against the e.u. of complicity in the abuse of refugees and supported its claims with this video libyan coast guard is towing a refugee in the sea and another one is being whipped. well as europe 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 lots through the situation libya is currently in so i think we're proud

of our conflicts in libya which was also crossed by the our western intervention. already in two thousand and eleven i think there won't be to this crisis the sad thing is and this is where the whole thing falls apart is this should not be an italian initiative this should be a european in the way of this should be a coordinate in the 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 a coordinated way within the european union and it's manifestly failed to do so. powerful painkillers are affecting life expectancy in america they show opioids played a bigger role in overdose deaths last year than any other drug legal or illegal tackling the addiction has become a national priority r.t. sameera can reports the nation's open. the epidemic drug overdose is this country's

recent surge in opioid addiction incredible epidemic one of the most serious crises facing people in this country. what is the average life expectancy in the us 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 the claw new life expectancy since the spanish flu one hundred years ago would be entering the 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 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. every one of those little girls represents the person that we lost to. those epidemic has resulted in a few shocking cases in the u.s. in ohio a coroner's office ran out of space to store dead bodies in west virginia officials have spent over a 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 emerged. it's already to fight the

opioid crisis however the government hasn't allocated any additional funding to deal with this crisis all while the former c.e.o. of a company that produces opioid meds has been 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 you know adequate treatment the overemphasis drugs prescribed rather than. 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.e.

washington d.c. well for more on these and plenty about the stories. at the top of the enemy here and we'll be here with the latest headlines but for me. in some american cities the police have killed themselves cling to refutation of people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that we're able in no more afraid of police from the us. you can see something happening this is like i don't want to call the cops let that happen rather than call the cops in those young black men lose their lives chasing the same goes on the. you never know better safe

than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to pull a gun so. unfortunately around and around here we end up playing our guns off the dense told from such precautions place to be on plan or to. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners spend spend each image of the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this minute.

or. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton filling in on this day december twenty eighth in two thousand the u.s. retail giant mcgovern rewards announced that it was going out of business after one

hundred and twenty eight years we used to affectionately call it monkey ward when i was a kid and as it turns out there's a reason for that there is actually a glass enclosed monkey cage at the wynwood mall in dallas texas in the early one nine hundred sixty s. and so people started calling it monkey wards there's your thinking freaky fact for the day but since mcgovern rewards went out of business back in two thousand larger retailers have had a hard time change like payless shoes the limited radio shack have gone all gone under when radio shack went out of business one thousand doors were closed where does one buy a crystal radio these days online of course this year macy's j.c. penney and sirius all announced the closing of hundreds of stores esther after disappointing results from by actually last year's the two thousand and sixteen holiday shopping season series may not be the biggest ute.
