believes moving the embassy will have consequences for the entire region. united states is supporting the occupation the united states is really slipping in the face and spitting in the face of the palestinians would he move the embassy to jerusalem and in this same time i declare jews in east jerusalem as the future capital of the palestinian state then i see it would be quite reasonable step there were tens of palestinians who live in the life for this for the first declaration they are fortunately there will be more tens of palestinians who will pay in the live pay their lives but by the end of the day there will be another uprising another intifada not a single state would stand up against the american administration and nobody

as a resolution or not realistic looking to you to follow that one over the final few days what some of those are lympics do celebrate the russians take apart their russian skiis have pledged another two medals we can tell you the winter games in south korea on what is the pronouncement day of competition cross-country skiers alexander bull show narva and under a lot of both took silver and bronze respectively in the men's fifty kilometer race but the way finland got the gold there well done finland to russia's athletes have been competing hundred neutral banner of course because of doping violations thus far they've won sixteen medals at the games half of all the medals belong to ski is that despite the team being formed from the younger generation of russian athletes these days some of whom are just over twenty years old the eight medals they've won so far equal the record haul of russian skiers back in one nine hundred ninety eight so again well don't guys under difficult circumstances all know when it comes to skiing you may think of countries like finland like norway sweden but probably

not a stray even so three antipodean friends have decided to jump right in literally and take part in one of sweden's most grueling events despite never having worn a pair of skis before check him out. well we had a few too many beers to be honest and our other friend that's doing the right as well morton and he was telling us that his dad has done fossil up at nine to come the ski race forty nine times and he said it would be great if you could do it with him and of course we all parties stick to this because he just can't do more than ten minutes of exercise but after a few beers it seems. maybe we should if. we we came into

you know. who's going. to miss the crisis. from russia. russia. russia. while the.

weekend's going good it's exactly eighteen minutes past four o'clock moscow time now this is international we continue with this story germany's social democrats giving party members the final say on whether to enter a coalition with chancellor merkel's conservatives or not and the bestselling newspaper bill that had an idea and decided to pull a stunt to highlight the problem of giving a relatively small group of people so much sway over the country's future by registering a dog as a voting member be right some of the see the funny side there was a correspondent peter oliver explain. it's almost certainly not the sound bite top

german social democrats under expected to be having to give to the press this week it came after the newspaper billed registered a named lemur as a member of the s.p. devastating name gender occupation and age in dog years they received a party card saying she was in the only reason that this is anything more than a hilarious mistake by the social democrats is that it's their party members that will get to decide on a coalition with. conservatives a no vote in that ballot well that could see fresh elections here in germany people who wish to manipulate the votes in a grand coalition through criminality could do just the same and that is what forced the social democrats into making their somewhat embarrassing canine climb down and prompted me to enlist the help of my own four legged friends. to help come

this what berlin's pooches and some of the humans they grow with the thoughts that use homes they are. not but do you see helen was using a module in the next hour. and she laughed agrees actually it. will lead to me really young dogs so i'm pretty sure seems you should run the logs good to be the election you know. what your religion she's one year old all the couple more years and i think it's stupid the coast how do you think about this time i want to have a career in the party. the fucked up idea. that in just. three votes i really think this is real because you know you have to take it back on. the. local. milk best ever. but first let's take. a.

look. at all of. the. feet of the best job with their oath but serious matters football for european football's governing body investigation into violence that took place ahead of a championship match in spain on thursday night in which a policeman died. was. it was said the officer had been involved in trying to stop clashes between rival supporters of host team athletic and spartak moscow but there are conflicting reports of what happened you know a little discussed it with correspondent daniel hawkins. down the last thing anybody wants to see at a football match these there is violence especially one that brings around

a death what happened here clashes saw five arrested both spanish and russian nationals were understand at this stage also multiple injuries reported as the fans pelted each other with objects including flares and crackers and it was during these disturbances just a couple of hours before the match that this police officer tragically died initial reports of course in some tabloid media did claim that this was a result of wounds sustained in the clashes and reporting some sort of blows to the head or face causing is the has the actual police in the area the spanish police talked all nys how the spanish police have officially now denied these reports he became manuel as he was coming out of his van as he deployed to the scene of the disturbances he suffered a cardiac arrest after collapsing and he was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital the other media were also very quick to report that it was the russian fans who were at the center of this trouble they allege that they started this disorder that they even used weapons to attack the locals knives bats and change

and cetera and this is of course despite the fact that what exactly happened in circumstances leading up to these clashes is still under investigation a radio free europe radio liberty for example commenting on how this could impact the world cup here in russia coming up this summer as well as the sport tech press service have they spoken out on this given their view the spartak press service they've also issued a statement saying what they describe as provocations were actually expected from the very beginning they. in the full knowledge that they wouldn't be welcome in the city of bilbao upon their arrival from the media reports of russian fans before their arrival and the increased security presence as well. even allege that a team interpreter suffered injuries in one incident before the game what is clear is that the atmosphere in the city was tense from the very start we know that anti far activists marched on the street prior to the much violence was shown on samara

footage we can see there as well the picture of course become clearer once you wait for the police do get more details from their ongoing investigation. a supporter of president trump's received a slew of online criticism of the american news network c.n.n. publicly shamed her for sharing what was claimed to be a quote russian coordinated event on facebook find out more jacqueline vogue now. c.n.n. knows no bounds when it comes to tracking down anyone culpable of sowing discord in america and they start indictment filed last week detailing how suspected russian trolls use unwitting americans to undermine their own political process c.n.n. has plenty of fodder like this woman from florida but did you realize that you guys were in communication electronically with with russia they know they are your so what did she do to deserve such a confrontation goldfarb is guilty of having run a pro trump facebook page that promoted in the event allegedly organized by the russians her objections to accusations of having

a connection to russia however were all but ignored by the c.n.n. reporter you were posting in reposing almost word for word the information that was coming out of this internet research agency now there's virtually no you don't believe there are no now to no one's surprise goldfarb was viciously attacked online after the short interview spread like wildfire goldfarb should be ashamed of herself she is the fake get on c.n.n. for showing us who she really is i don't believe she feigned ignorance people like goldfarb who shared russian propaganda and who refuse to accept responsibility when shown should be prosecuted. goldfarb are you a communist maybe old deplorable is a commies but surely c.n.n. won't stop there when there are bigger fish to fry such as michael moore the hollywood director should be their next stop as he both attended and promoted around been organized by yep you guessed it russian trolls the kicker is that

protest was titled trump is not my president meaning russia is also guilty of putting together events against the man they apparently want to see in the white house but for some reason i doubt c.n.n. will be knocking down moore's door to talk about that maybe because it looks like c.n.n. covered the rally themselves along with their comrades in arms b.c. thousands of people as you know alex are feeling marginalized by president like donald trump's comment they said this is a love rally after they pointed in that direction they yelled we're not going to be . tolerating any sexism or homophobia or racism so we're told that countless unsuspecting americans and media outlets were duped by the relentless efforts of online trolls but where are those trolls getting their inspiration from more often than not it looks like they were simply relying on stories generated by the us media itself oh sweet sweet irony i mustn't be seen as liberal host joy reid is a shining example of that her posts were retreated by count said to have

connections to the kremlin hundreds of times and there obviously a lot of questions about how much the trump campaign knew about and whether they were complicit in the russian attack on our election but what about the rest of the republican party machinery so to break this down the heart of the accusation seems to be that russia tried to divide the us by giving people a place to express their views and retreating mainstream media articles and posts written by american diabolical if you ask me. jacqueline vogel even thought no leave you to the way the news looks so far this stuff that afternoon from moscow i'm kevin thanks for watching our international about the t.v. always appreciate you can check some social media.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world i'm bart chilton we're still in our new york studio here coming up we sit down with fred hofmann to talk about food programs and how we can gain food. plus then we'll be joined by rebecca ray to discuss the relationship between china and latin america and how chinese investment has grown in the region and then we check out how just one tweet managed to wipe out more than a billion dollars from a stock now let's get to today's headlines. the greek parliament has voted to create a special committee to investigate accusations that a that ten level high level politicians have accepted bribes between two thousand and six and two thousand and fifteen from the swiss corporation novartis in order to enable price gouging and increased market access the accused include the current governor of greek central bank and two former prime ministers current from prime

minister alexis tsipras called the case one of the biggest scandals in the country's modern history under greek law prosecutors must actually refer the cases involving politicians to the parliament which then investigates and decides whether or not to revoke immunity before indictments can occur the u.s. federal bureau of investigation the f.b.i. assisted greek prosecutors and looking for evidence of money laundering this was key to making the case as there is a greek statute of limitations for bribery but not for money laundering. the world will need more than half a million new pilots in less than twenty years according to a study by airline. her boeing demand is expected increased dramatically by twenty thirty six an estimated six hundred thirty thousand new pilots are going to be needed with more than a quarter million needed in the asia pacific region alone to combat this shortage

quantas airways plans to invest in pilot training school in two thousand and nineteen the goal is to train more than five hundred new pilots a year once it becomes for fully operational however at that rate the company will only have will have trained eighty five hundred new pilots well below the needed amount. and general mills is making moves as it looks to enter the pet food business the company announced that it will buy blue buffalo pet products for an astounding eight billion dollars general mills announced that it expects to finance the transaction with debt available cash on hand as well as one billion dollars in equity the move as well calculated on general mills as part blue buffalo block lois already has a large presence in many major retailers like target it's not the only company looking to cash in on pet food mars' the company behind m. and m's already has entered the market after acquiring iambs pedigree and whiskas

pet foods and jelly and jam producer smucker's j.m. smucker bought the big hearts pet brands in two thousand and fifteen for more than six billion dollars. japan has one the largest food in its dispute involving produce and the south with south korea involving the world trade organization it deals with produce and the w t o went in favor of japan which had raised concerns about the sanctions put on it by south korea the company had specific bans and additional testing requirements imposed on imported japanese goods due to the two thousand and eleven food you eat it's a nuclear disaster the w t o. ruled that while the measures were initially justifiable keeping them in place violate sanitary and fido stana terry agreements south korea stated that they will appeal the decision in order to keep the ban in place many other countries have already relaxed or removed their restrictions on

produce from japan. and staying with the subject of foods and sanatorium final sanitary standards we turned to one of the foremost experts in the world to talk about safety and security of food system in the wake of a trumpet ministrations decision on the supplemental nutrition assistance program otherwise known as snap or mom more commonly referred to as food stamps we're joined by fred kaufman fred thank you for being here explain what it is that the trip administration has done with snap what they're they really proposing kind of sounds almost unbelievable to me it is unbelievable snap of food stamps have been around forever it's one of the most successful programs and it's the a direct cash amount that's delivered there are very few costs associated and yet the trumpet ministration has come up with this crazy american harvest box which is it's going to cut the funding and have the audience what it's like you would get

from a blue apron or something in theory they've been calling it blue apron and of course one of the founders of blue apron is saying on the record there isn't this is nothing like blue apron and in other words if blue apron gave you some peanut butter or some pots that and some dried milk i don't think so the fact of the matter is this is dead on arrival and here is the reason why they're going to cut food stamps and a half this program in half which is what they've long wanted to do right this is a smoke screen so that a liberal like me will put my hands up in the air and start screaming and yelling about it the fact is that the extra analyses of this food box are astounding there is no. a there is no cost associated with delivering the u.s.d.a. has no distribution system for delivering twenty one million of these boxes of food it's dead on arrival it's not going to work and it's a smokescreen for cutting food assistance ok i hope our viewers will give me

a little patience here to go back on so the proposal is to deliver twenty one million boxes of food to people's homes with various foods in it and like you say maybe dried milk i remember back yard you know you've written about this and i worked at the agriculture department when president reagan tried to classify catch up as a vegetable and it would be a fruit if it was going to be catechized quite as anything but it's not bad either it's crap is what it is ok so they're going to deliver these all these millions and but the bottom line is they are cutting the budget so as crazy as that sound bite how they're going to deliver these things they're cutting the money anyway there's no system for the delivery of it this program is basically what they want to do is they they want to cut about seven to nine billion dollars out of i'm sorry seventeen billion dollars in fiscal year nineteen it's a seventy billion dollars program and the long term plan over the next ten years is

to cut two hundred billion out of it this is completely outrageous we have forty six food insecure people in this country. mostly veterans mostly you know foster children who depend on these very small supplemental incomes for their food every month you know almost all of them work there i think less than seven percent are unemployed and most of these are undiagnosed with disease all sorts of things so this is one of the most successful programs in history copied across the world and yet the level of selfishness the level the small mindedness is driving this now is is part of the proposal which i got it it's the funding is not there for it anyway but is part of the proposal that the government will decide what it is in this theoretical box that you're never really going to get it that's the even crazier thing it's like the last thing a true conservative wants is a guardian government telling you how much salt sugar and fat you will be eating

but that is precisely what they're doing here they're going to be legislating your diet directly they're not going to allow you the classic free market choice here is your money if you want to spend it all on lobster the very first day well maybe you'll learn your lesson next month the don't get it if you want to eat the rest of the month that's right that's right so this is against conservative philosophy and therefore they're flouting this because it's a smokescreen because what they really are want to do is cut the program it's crazy how you sometimes just politicians democrats and republicans that quite frankly lose their way whether or not they say it's ok to spend a bunch of money on a tax bill that we can't do or we don't really like the free markets when it comes to choosing what people will actually eat if they're getting anything from the government let me go let's go back to in history here a little bit you and i spoke a little bit about this that these food programs that help the least fortunate among us really started in the u.s. explain that for our viewers yeah i mean the united states was

a progressive nation once in one thousand nine hundred thirty nine during the f.d.r. administration the idea was this this list fabulous which is that we can actually buy the quote unquote food stamp and then. with the stamps that come with it use excess produce from this country those days have changed a lot there is no longer excess produce in this country in fact last year was the lowest wheat crop in america in fifteen years and what we're seeing is this wild booming of global trade and america is once again being left behind the largest producer of wheat in the world next year is going to be russia and of course russia has their own issues of twenty million people below the poverty line and so they've decided to do a food security program you know what it is the food are to food stamps exactly the following us now there's so we had it first that we're talking to one of the great secretaries of agriculture in u.s. history henry wallace from iowa so when he started this it really was emulated in

europe and other places and what's happening now does europe have programs employees that are similar so almost fifty years later in one nine hundred eighty seven the e.u. finally comes up with some money as a whole to give to individual nation nations within it but really it's a very different idea and in a weird way it's similar to the trump idea which is that in these particular nations these are for the what you're getting is direct food delivery to the most deprived people along with that food and those and those you get shoes you get toothpaste you get shampoo so it's a real poverty program and again this is more like on the soup kitchen model and the fact of the matter is that this program in europe is about a four point five billion euro program it is nowhere near the same level size.
