because we've only just been reformed after the election last year it's taken a long time to do it so we will be looking very serious the decisions being made what about the fact that if a country can't afford the weapons with the taxpayers to subsidize some there's up to fifty percent loans to that country said that they can buy or what we do we give loans to all sorts of things and only international development we give loans and we give ground so i don't think the problem should be subsidising much needed infrastructure or whatever in britain as it is subsidising foreign countries we've got the biggest infrastructure in terms of roads and rail program going on that's ever been so we're not doing that we are spending millions and millions mostly millions on a road infrastructure and it's continuing more than we've ever had before and rail infrastructure is going through the roof another crisis apart from yemen is of course me and maher has been lots of even mainstream media coverage of the ring

crisis how do you see the importance of it i think it's very important i think it's absolutely devastating to see so many people having to flee their country and particularly where the men are being slaughtered and the women are being raped on route and i think that is where i. just don't understand why people can be so awful to people other people that have lived in their country for say when the generations and they're having to flee that country to go to bangladesh and live in for she squalid conditions i mean that's inhuman and of course britain supported the me and ma military regime against sanctions before she was given this new. position yes she could. in my view she should respect out against it if it means that she loses her job i think she should have done. but i went to five

five six years ago i met her and she was already. determined ringers were not part of the area they were nothing to do with that they were not. people they couldn't have the status of being they would be stateless and she had no problem with that and i said all along is going to be a major problem she has got a mindset that will change and we're going again as a committee. and then we're going to bangladesh as well to go and see the real situation and how britain is helping and helping a huge amount bangladesh could not cope with the number of refugees they have without britain's assistance and they're very grateful for it given you have these twin roles and on the international development committee and the objects will come with me what about the allegations that britain is involved in. go. production

deals as it were with israel because israel is allegedly selling arms to you but. we don't know. that i hope will you're going to be looking into british involvement in the because britain famously supported the military junta before arguably a big. chinese orbit we did but i think that again most of these things we look at again freshly every time there's a new committee formed we will look at these things and come up with a conclusion because things change it's not always the same the whole of the time it's not the same now as it was two years ago so we have to look at things as they are now and reevaluate the situation probably later. coming up after the break. the father of this sixteen year old girl tells us why he thinks a camera saved his daughter's life at the hands of british backed israeli soldiers and the grandson of a secretary to israel. as independents on why britain in the united states

continues to support israel which he accuses of colonialism oppression and the killing of innocent civilians all of them all going overboard to him going into. the. kentucky. boy says you're going to treat families or you won't. be. a co money since he was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners the said. that it was a laugh to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us a full on awesome deal the show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packed a punch. yap is the john oliver of party america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. sea people you never heard of love back to the night the president of the world bank very. seriously sent us an e-mail. welcome back on the fifteenth of december u.k. back to israeli forces allegedly shot fifteen year old mama tell me at point blank range in the head with a rubber bullet this video of his sixteen year old cousin had al-timimi film later that day is now viral on the internet.

following a raid on her home by israeli forces ahead her mother and her cousin are all now in prison she could serve a seven year sentence after i.d.f. soldiers then confiscated the phone computer of a father bassam the grandson of a signatory to israel's independence me capello said has brought a mobile phone for him to use when i joined by bus amount to me from ramallah in palestine by sam thanks for joining us tell me about what is happening with your daughter and your wife. when she. was. in my and i had this image of this sort of uniform. and. mine here but with the suit. and it would have been. doesn't. believe it and i was weaned. at the foot six months. here.

against book will be action is to resist evil if what you say is true the israeli military judge said that basically our head can be in prison for months the israeli military judge okayed that. she must be and it is that. this is as old now. i don't think his life has any ideas this big building needle is lighted the main venue is up and they have the bow of the do like to see the little duck machine and know any brand new anything. i like to say is already headed well enough. to see if. i don't mistake what is it good that they don't get who was there was talking wasn't a machine a little do what the institution say didn't you wouldn't take in the going to see

the look in simeon booker didn't bloodlust the jive because i think your sister died of course in the military. you were in prison for three years what about your worries for i had now i understand she was in isolation i am up by the minute by my wind my duty is in the hands of my movies. everything i am grow that i have this strong deity who can face it in the indian given a dip in his moment and give over this making we need. to be about his will seize strong but also she is a child in the hands of this war the any good at least in the me i need to meet the human rights. constituency and those if they don't like

to see they continue and. then she will. others think of my mind and my wife and all the other thing that that is not justified than the. three hundred fifty charges there's a reason for that we must do and we will do it all and we in the commission we will continue up. this times because we haven't city police commissioner just continually. we need to be strong we need just like you know we have a lot of freedom. in the. sea while palestinian activists around the world may say you are being psychologically tortured along with your family by the defacto british backed israeli government zionists claim you are basically making propaganda videos the video of your daughter was deliberately trying to provoke

israel and your daughter is being called shirley temper and this is the name pallywood in a in a reference i suppose to be the opposite of all here with only one density a soldier to come on but this it be it in our. body what if they are not their soldier they can see it's just that one dick were there but he shot because she slept. in the movie. this is me this is. the death we did in our home the sort that come in clubhouse. board at the time we have that coming up it was going. to saw the lord of the study and at the bottom it could be but not. me and be able who are with him like she had. told him i needed will make a plan was put everyone in the world now if if i do that if you have not had if

there had been no camera then what do you think would have happened i think she looked. like they. would let the minutes. in the front of the family when they. did they could some but it was then it was a committee i did she was nannie. who would wind up let go and. this is what the. bus i'm all to me thank you while the spike in violence in the occupied territories doesn't look set to come down on the us president donald trump wants to slash u.s. aid to u.n. relief programs in palestine i'm joined now by the grandson of a signatory to israel's independence the israeli special forces veteran me cope had led me go thanks for joining us back on going underground we just heard from bottom up i mean why do you support him and what do you think of how emblematic his story

is story is the story of palestine she did something that the rest of the world. is afraid to do which is stand up to israel and not only to stand up to israel she said we've got an issue year we're palestinians a palestinian dared to stand up to a soldier a woman dared to stand up to a man and a young woman at that. and this is turning everybody upside down you know if they had shot her then i don't think we would have had this conversation or at least maybe we would but the rest of the world probably would not have paid any attention to this because it's one more palestinian child being killed because she dared to stand up. and the whole world and crew particularly in israel. there were the grounders there's this shook you know no everybody's in this in this thing you know a bit of shock that this. this young lady this young girl there to do this same

thing and say that the camera also saved her life oh i think that's a very likely that would've been a very likely scenario. and the fact that you know if you're looking to point to pay attention to the details you know we have a young lady. whose home was invaded by armed gang i mean they got uniforms in the army. invade her privacy invaded her home and she not only pushed them to kick them out of the house and out of her backyard but also slapped the soldier on top of that i think every father who has a daughter and i have a daughter you younger than her. would hope that his daughter having faced the situation like that would be able to do it she did and i think. support of her. should reality that. absolutely the fact that the camera was there i think is really important gangs of course britain and the united states support

those i.d.f. soldiers. well written in the united states also have been involved in such a colonialism and oppression and the killing of innocent civilians for. even before israel started doing it so obviously they have shared values and mentioned his house over the last several years. hundreds of times countless relatives were killed and. of course none of this is ever ever. somebody stood up and happens to be ladies and the world turns turned upside down. it's the united states paying the relief of palestinians we pay the palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars and get no appreciation or respect which is why he is now i suggesting the cutting of u.s. aid to these un programs for refugees in palestine. well you know if they don't pay for the refugees are either. very happy to go back to the only reason they're not

going back often is because it's just that i think if he wants to stop. that part of the solution the second part of the solution which must be. part of the solution is to allow them to return force israel to open its borders and allow the indigenous people people who still have the keys to their homes and. return to their homes and then if you can you read billion dollars or four billion dollars a year that it receives from the united states to bring them in and help them and they receive to share in and help them to establish themselves back in their in their homes so it's not it's a two part equation. where the u.n. relief and works agency has been saying that this is the worst crisis of a severe crisis in seventy years and could threaten the entire middle east. think he's right there about trump donald trump. there's no question that the arse they

are hurting the most the most vulnerable populations they're hurting the most vulnerable the poorest of the poor and they're not tour. people or they're poor because they're forced to do if you do you can by having been kicked out of their homes to begin by israel and they don't want to stay there are quite happy to go back then you don't need. because they were kicked out of their home but just finally and briefly why do you think most mainstream media here in britain or in the nato nations is not interested in what you just had to say about the conflict and and certainly hasn't really been covering the story of i have al-timimi who is of course now well i think i experienced demonstrate exactly that i mean i should not have had to push those soldiers out of our home and slap a soldier we should have been there the entire internet community been to protect her to protect her cousins to protect the family and to protect millions of palestinian children who have to put up with this kind of violence every single day now the fact that this is not being shown and it's not being reported on mainstream

media because exactly that the arc of israel will not stand up to it and that forces young palestinians like or that to do this themselves it's a crime over a crime the first crime is that they were not there to begin with to prevent this from happening. and the second thing is they want reporting to show just how. and the lack of courage by the media and the rest of the world to stand up and protect the palestinian children from israeli aggression israeli terror make up thank you and that's it for the show but we're back on wednesday to get to take a pro jeremy gold when they were in peak oil on britain's role in the international arms industry as the u.n. reports thousands of dead or injured children in yemen until then you can keep in contact with us via social media with you on wednesday forty three years to the day of the attack on new york's financial district by put a rican independence activists and one hundred seventy is the death of japanese

socialist just so we could. prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death. like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had planned. to commit some sight was all who was present so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do you know we were being responsible and what the real side effect. was. what i did was on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because

something doesn't mean it's something. the violence erupts in the israeli parliament during a speech by a us vice president mike pence went on to a noise that america will be moving its embassy to jerusalem next. calls on turkey to show restraint in its military operation to dislodge kurdish groups from the north of syria. at the british army see russia is one of the u.k.'s biggest threats calling for more money. also coming up this hour u.s. senators agreed to vote in favor of a funding bill that ends the partial government shutdown. to keep working for just

over another two weeks. wherever you're training in from right around the world this hour a very warm welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know neil welcome to the program our top story u.s. vice president mike pence has announced that america's embassy in israel will move to jerusalem next year. president trump has directed the state department to immediately begin preparations to move the united states embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and that united states embassy will open before the end of next year well this announcement by the american vice president is hugely controversial and no doubt will be met with the same kind of backlash that met the announcement by the american president donald trump last month when he stated that is the capital

of israel now they were protests that were held as the american vice president landed in his well yesterday there were posters with his face on that were trampled on and thrown about at the same time a day each has been called for tomorrow tuesday in the palestinian territories the palestinian leadership is boycotting this visit by the american vice president now that protest actually moved inside the israeli parliament today just as paris was about to start his speech members of the arab joined let's this is the third largest faction in the israeli parliament and it represents some arab dominated israeli political parties these lawmakers stood up and started shouting and holding back cards that said that jerusalem is the capital of palestine the supreme court. should.

thank israeli parliamentarians gave mike pence a long standing ovation to try and attract attention away from the members of parliament outcry but at the same time there is off wage that has been happening for the past few weeks since the american president said he recognizes to receive them as israel's capital both here inside israel in the past. entities gaza and in the international community. was. i. was i was i was i know the

palestinian president mahmoud abbas is currently in brussels way he is meeting with the e.u. foreign policy chief maslany now the e.u. has criticized tom's earliest statement that he recognizes jerusalem as israel's capital and have said that they stand by their commitment of a two state solution or we spoke to them or of the israeli parliament who was one of those who walked out during mike pence a speech. well we decided from the beginning that we were to deliver a message that there is at least twenty five twenty or thirty percent of the people in israel do not welcome him or his policy or of the policy of his administration that we see that danger in leading such kind of. told. support to mean that the government the fact of that fence wanted to declare that

today that they are moving the american embassy to jerusalem says very clearly that they don't care what the palestinian people see as their right this brings a lot of anger and outrage among the palestinians i hope that this will not deter mortar we hope that the palestinian our palestinian people will find a way to express their outrage and their anger about such kind of the collaboration without losing a lot. to a developing story in the middle east now where the united nation the ses it's ready to offer humanitarian assistance to people fleeing syrian kurdistan it comes as the turkish military continues to attempt to drive on the local kurdish militia forces on cruise intervention in the region follows from washington that it plans to establish a new border force there which will include kurdish why p.g.

fighters turkey considers terrorists. well i want to try and show know how power is actually distributed in the border region the areas in yellow here are held by various kurdish militias and it's here in the african region the latest flashpoint in syria where we're talking about is where turkey's carrying out its military operation it is receiving backing from syrian rebel groups in the areas shown in green in the center turkish tanks have reportedly been closing in on the city of as well i'm sure then intends to turn its

attention here to be sure is how the situation we think is playing out as it stands the syrian kurds have already asked the u.s. that coalition for support washington for its part has called on turkey quote to limit its offensive in time and scope president heard one shot back telling the u.s. to worry about its own campaigns in iraq and afghanistan and we've been trying to takes a closer look now at the troubled relationship between the two nato allies. unbelievable is this real a nato member telling daddy you know i mean for me to come in behave yourself or all point a gun or am i exaggerating a bit mr aired on didn't say that these exact words but turkey's got a prime minister who pretty much did anyone who gives logistical support to the white b.g. is turkey's target for the record the white b.g. equals the kurdish army and for all these years who's been giving the kurds all

kinds of support right. over the weekend the kurds were extended in all of branch that's what ankara calls its military op the kurds say they repelled an attack on sunday but where does that wipe e.g. get its guns somebody tapered on couldn't care less why washington's been helping the kurds to destroy eisel for this man the kurdish militias are no better than terrorists that explains his latest messages to america because the us is in the process of creating the terror army only what we have to do is turn in the but america do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us or we will run out of patience does anyone from the us government have anything to say we urge turkey to exercise restraint and ensure that its military operations remain limited in scope and duration and scrupulous to avoid civilian casualties some very restrained

council there to be restrained think about it mr aired on rants that america u.s. officials don't hit back turkey rolls up the tanks flies out the more play sends soldiers over the border washington basically keeps stuff after all this isn't about camp sly this week makes donald trump for one war so perhaps the turks and the kurds have succeeded in one thing together were to sing america to baffled silence. well shortly after u.s. military officials announced their intention of creating a thaw thirty thousand strong border force washington backtracked the u.s. secretary of state says the u.s. had no such plan and that the situation being miss pro-trade however russia's foreign minister disputed that claim so simple solution comes the contradictions follow the police and u.s. announcement of create an unarmed force along the syrian turkish border though in

fact america continues its actions to establish control of a parts of serious territory. border in the meantime the u.s. scares the kurds away from the dialogue with damascus washington is encouraging separate to sentiment among the kurds well there's been plenty of reaction coming from europe too on the latest development in northern syria germany's foreign minister has said any military confrontation could potentially carry huge risks following an emergency un security council session france once again called on turkey to show restraint. well author abdel bari atwan told us he believes the us has made a mistake by trying to break up syria and create a kurdish state. i think would be aware miscalculating there and when they are either he or that they made their grave mistake when.
