has been able to finish we're going to be able to do it now we've heard a response from the taliban essentially mocking the united states and saying that if the usa wants to find them it knows where their office is located in the city of doha at this point we are not hearing moves from either side the taliban or the united states about resuming negotiations so at the moment it appears that the violence and chaos in afghanistan is going to continue and middle east expert on the risks believes the latest move by the pentagon is tantamount to an admission of failure in afghanistan sima some horrific attacks launched by the time of the taliban and by isis which have now begun to talk of kabul the afghani capital previously we saw that the you know there were attacks by these extremist groups but they won't focus so much from kabul couple was considered to be relatively secure what we've seen now is that even the capital is no longer secure so

a lot of these failures in this who you were swore i think that the pentagon burned basically or the american mistreated as a home had no choice but to take this step to try and the heart of the reality which is going on on the ground because i think that if the american people are exposed to the real situation of there will be huge amounts popular pressure for the u.s. to you know just cut and withdraw from that country. in the west bank u.s. officials had to flee an event in the city of bethlehem after angry protesters stormed the building they were in. no no no no no. no no no no. call that had been a business meeting at the bethlehem chamber of commerce and industry protesters arrived with a bather condemning donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital after a minor trashes the meeting was cut short but before leaving the building the

americans were given a clear message. that you should. go. and the story did not end there palestinian protesters then ran out of the building and threw tomatoes at the diplomatic cars that were trying to flee the scene. and there are scrapes wasn't that easy either as you can see from this video palestinians trying to gain entry to the vehicles artie's paulus lear has more of what sparked all the trouble. but this is just the latest incident in a string of protests that have been taking place on the palestinian street ever since the american president donald trump made an announcement back in the beginning of december saying that he recognized jerusalem as israel's capital also

on tuesday there were protests in front of the palestinian prime minister's office in the west bank city of ramallah now there they were protesting against the reduction of services being offered by the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees the agency was forced to downgrade the services after the americans announced that they were cutting millions of dollars of aid this the americans say is until to quote there is a fundamental reexamination of how the agency operates the protest and go on the palestinian street have gone as far as to into the israeli parliament or the israeli knesset where just last week the american vice president mike pence was visiting as he stood up to speak a group of arab lawmakers who constitute the third largest faction in the israeli parliament started shouting and holding up banners with anti american messages

citizens of israel. now mike pence during his speech at the israeli parliament only further infuriated the anger that is already here on the street by announcing that by the end of makes sure the americans would be moving their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem since president trump made that announcement on jerusalem back at the beginning of december they have been more than twelve palestinians who have been killed more than a thousand have been injured and hundreds have been arrested so this is a situation that just won't go away and witnessing tensions continue to climb. new anti russian sanctions could be on the table in washington off to the release of the so-called kremlin this more on that after the break.

our. local blog telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle. for you socks try to tell you that the because of the tabloid lifestyle what are you. talking about advertising telling me

you are not cool enough to buy the product. that we all get all you want. thank you welcome back the u.s. may be preparing new sanctions against russia after the release of the so-called credited list this in caves the names of two hundred top officials and business leaders well that's according to the u.s. treasury secretary steve mentioned he was pressed on the issue in congress. now we will take the basis of that report and look at kind of as we do in the normal course where it's appropriate to put sanctions so there's no way be interpreted as we're not putting sanctions on any of the people in that report when new sanctions were expected to be announced along with the list although officials stressed no

new restrictions were coming in right now. as a reaction from russia. for now the russian government won't do anything about what was called the u.s. kremlin list that's how the russian president for now made up his mind about the u.s. treasury document it had to be published before the monday night deadline under the so-called countering america's adverse stories through sanctions act and so it was ten minutes before the deadline america's saying that being put on that list which includes one hundred fourteen top russian government officials as well as nearly one hundred richest businessmen doesn't mean receiving some kind of punishment so you may well ask what's the point something to do with sanctions that's not actually sanctions by the way something that i found rather amusing was the fact that the putin administration section matched the kremlin website name by name

while the part about the businessman was almost identical to the forbes list of russia's richest men. no wonder the treasurer didn't come out until the last minute six months is hardly enough time to copy and paste the forbes list of russian billionaires i know personally many of the business people on this list some very close to putin some of the little work was done to distinguish between these two categories i think the logic of the list is that the russian version the force list isn't available in english ranking russian officials even had a little laugh perhaps the deputy prime minister of the dvorkovich said that washington basically released a book that you may call who's who and russian politics anyway back to vladimir putin's first public reaction to the list he said that the u.s.

officials weren't doing u.s. russia relations any fav. there's still some muscle to get used to union uma i don't understand the logic behind this move but it's definitely a hostile one and further complicates u.s. russian relations our security services share intelligence that helps prevent terrorist attacks do they need this or not will we start working together or not we can do without that but i think it's in everyone's interests it would be absurd to reduce our relations to zero so well while the us is considering further restrictions there's a different stance coming from the new belgium prime minister sharon michelle claimed the block is against new sanctions during his meeting with his russian counterpart to meet him if they're there. sanctions are not the end goal dialogue is the key and i would like to highlight that the youth has made a decision not to support the strengthening of restrictions. we garnered reaction from two political analysts who told us the kremlin list is much ado about nothing

. i don't think it will have much of the effect at all the thirty thing i think it's the white house telling congress they passed this law to try to keep the pressure up on russia this concern about the last election and doing this list seems to have very little purpose other than just fulfilling a legal minimum i don't know if it will really damage any u.s. russian ties it seems that trump is not certainly trying to make it any worse the situation already is it seems like he's really just trying to hope a lot of this goes away and bring it all to a speedy end people look at it i think and say this is a piece of lazy intelligence you've worked really taken a who's who of who's the rich and powerful in russia and copy down in names and it doesn't seem to have much substance to it president trump signed it off literally minutes the goal with no enthusiasm for these sanctions forward but he's under pressure though he's under pressure i say from you know the his own intelligence

from the military and from the democrats and we nor that you know under pressure pressure presidents can buckle but the real question i repeat is why is russia the main threat at the moment to united states of america and the west that i think the answer has to be no or. to pharmacies in the german city of frankfurt or found themselves at the center of a racial storm due to their centuries old names artie's peter oliver explains. what is in a name well for frankfurt council the name of two of the city's pharmacies was enough to demand that change this is one of them the. more and it's not final part of the name that the city council here in frankfurt have a problem with it translates as the moon pharmacy now traditionally what that meant is that this was a pharmacy that would have stalked alternative medicines all medicines from the east as well as western medicine this building here you can see originates from

nineteen hundred however there are campaign is that say that this type of name has no place in modern germany the reason for the complaint was that people said using the term morrish was racist and offensive against people from north africa but we spoke to people here on the streets of frankfurt and gauge their opinion about the proposed name change i think it's a shame because it's part of maybe our culture too and it doesn't have any more to do with maybe we've. already seen we shouldn't change our traditions he them aren't easy for me if something is to be racist it has to either diminish or belittle people in this case it has more to do with recognizing cultural heritage it didn't even appear to me that you know it's offensive because

it is a historic it's simply historic terminal in the pharmacy doesn't for sure doesn't use it to be to be offensive the owners of both pharmacies politely declined to appear on camera saying that the news that they were going to be forced to change their name it brought nothing but unwanted publicity interestingly enough the name up attack ads or more and is much more common place in the state of north rhine-westphalia but when the integration council in that state were asked if they'd be following franklin. for example when they said no they had far better things to be doing these are all over frankfurt. in barcelona supporters of the sacked cattle on president carter's bridge tomorrow have broken through a police cordon to reach the catalan parliament. protesters gathered to demand the reinstatement of the local government and threaten to occupy the building in less predictable was reinstated the session on cheers day intended

to reelect the former president was postponed to guarantee his freedom and the result of the democratic elections which the more faces arrest in spain for his involvement in last year's illegal referendum. we know russian flags flying at either the twenty eighteen winter olympics or paralympics in south korea that's after the international paralympic committee held its ban on the russian team that will allow some clean athletes to compete as neutrals two months ago a similar decision was taken by the international olympic committee but despite all eyes on russia when it comes to doping allegations are also surfacing elsewhere in the world. in the run up to next month's winter games the issue of doping has taken the main stage once again seeing the majority of russian athletes banned and those eligible to participate forced to compete under a neutral flag and frankly at this point when you hear doping you think russia but

is the problem really reserved just the one country i'm afraid the answer is a resoundingly no an investigation conducted by a group of international researchers at two separate sporting events back in two thousand and eleven produced a rather shocking conclusion where more than two thousand and eight athletes were surveyed anonymously to encourage honest answers the open appears remarkably widespread among elite athletes and remains largely unchecked despite. testing that report revealed that at the thirteenth athletics world championships in south korea over forty percent of those competing emitted to doping in the past year and almost sixty percent at the pan arab games in doha whereas want to only came back with point five percent of test positive in south korea and three point six percent at the pan arab games needless to say that is a massive discrepancy and the other surprising thing is that the research was actually funded by water and yet no one heard a peep out of them about the result which they've known about for years we would

note that there was a delay of nearly six years between the completion of the data collection and the publication of this paper due to negotiations between wanna and i double a.f. and subsequently between the authors regarding the authority to publish the results now it goes on to say that neither of the organizations impose restrictions on the writing of the report although i'm not sure how he thinks here delay isn't considered a restriction the president of germany's athletics federation for one was infuriated by the hold up but i think that publication has impaired the possibility of taking important measures in the anti doping can pay much earlier this is more than annoying you could also call it the scandal and guess what the report was actually released months ago but i'd bet good money that you haven't heard a thing about it because first summer. it wasn't made into nonstop breaking news no probs were conducted and no bands were seen. i'll be back with the latest headlines in just over half an hour meanwhile for more on one of our stories get auti dot com .

seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to stamp out just the current attitude and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the release the memo moment is upon us republicans are billing it as some kind of silver bullet revealing political corruption at the highest levels of the department of justice and f.b.i. the democrats on the other hand and their supporters in the liberal media call it a distraction finally the public will decide. to run out of the flow to the best out of the jewels of. the concepts those paying to perform i actually prepare myself to. heed what. i'm sorry because when i asked. you this you know homo stuff her. scanty was. she had

a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it would be all clean. so that it but the guys were always looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines it's molding for its own troops. on form on my watch. i remember when i was in high school i loved earth science i love the mountains of anything she was brock's and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal.
