watching closely watching the hawks. a. little bit. you can a little bit i mean that was. what i was made up of that was right at the end they. me. i'm sure the job's. not support the general somebody calling on both states to take actions which is yet another violation by the russian federation the u.s. and e.u. countries are playing along with ukrainian authorities confrontational course moscow slams ukrainian sponsored un resolution as

a provocation after russia is decried for the alleged militarize ation of crimea. but rather. as anger rises against nicaraguan presidents daniel ortega has cracked down on the media and civil rights groups look at why the u.s. imposes sanctions on the country but turns a blind eye to violations in neighboring niger as. also ahead police in the german city of frankfurt are under scrutiny over suspicion a right wing extremist cell is operating in their ranks that's off the two year old daughter of a migrants rights lawyer receives a death threat. a very warm welcome to you watching all to. international with me nicky aaron great

to have you with us this hour our top story the u.n. general assembly has naturally adopted a ukraine sponsored resolution blaming russia for what it calls the militarization of crimea nearly half the member states abstained from the vote their resolution accuses russia of restricting navigation in the black and hours of c.s. moscow blasted it as one sided saying it gives kiev a permit to scapegoat russia here's how the assembly unfolded. we do not support the general assembly calling on both states to take actions when the russian federation is the sole member state to have repeatedly and shamelessly engage in aggressive activities directed against ukraine that you know because i'm. here of his getting signals that everything is allowed and everything will be forgiven and that all its sins and crimes will be pardoned and russia will be made a scapegoat it is yet another violation by the russian federation of the u.n.

charter and deliberate attack by the russian military forces east ukraine into neutral voters in the back seat this is you know there's a whole it was said the incident happened in neutral territorial waters but the ukrainian representative has just said a week ago that happened in ukrainian voices the essence of this issue is a common belief that states must not use force in their international relations including to acquire territory or change borders inconsistently with the un charter we underscored of the e.u. were dismayed at this use of force by russia and use a little we need to deal with this we are facing a carefully thought time and well planned provocation that is continuing here in the assembly before our eyes the u.s. and some e.u. countries are playing along with the ukrainian authorities confrontational course most countries are co-sponsors of this resolution now this follows an incident in which you had a ukrainian naval vessel trying to cross the current strait now when this happened

at that point there were ukrainian navy boats trying to cross this courage strait and they ignored instructions from maritime control and at that point russian border guards had to intervene and detain the violators now the current bridge which was recently constructed connecting crimea to other parts of russia was frequently brought up by those condemning russia it's important to note that bridge has been a point of criticism by those who oppose right. so much so that the washington examiner a publication in the united states went as far as to call for the bridge to be blown up it's interesting that there was not then widespread condemnation of the washington examiner but regardless though we also have recently heard the united states promising to send more weapons to kiev and furthermore we did see another resolution voted on now the united states voted in favor of the resolution condemning russia however they voted against

a resolution put forward by russia to condemn naziism in fact the united states and ukraine were the only two countries to vote against that resolution opposing nazis so pretty clear differences in the international community displayed in the debate and passing of resolutions today at the u.n. general assembly. legal analyst we spoke to things that u.n. resolutions are all about blokes allies and political games i'd only are we seen a lot of animosity and feelings coming up but we're also seeing a lot of political moves as you can see with some of these other resolutions that seem to be kind of general blanket statements that universally would be rejected that would just go against just because russia passed this so we are seeing a lot of these sentiments going through and so a lot of countries abstain we're looking at when we talk about the general assembly specifically with resolutions passing we're looking at one hundred percent geo political factions here this is all a political game and it's all whose side is on whom that's why the u.n.

general assembly is filled with blocks allies and other things like that for the u.s. to want russia on board because the u.s. already knows u.s. allies will be on board with that the same way or russia knows that russian allies will be on board an arab snow that arab allies will be on board with certain resolutions it's a lot of the political game and what publicly should be the the position or strategy of the people in the u.n. general assembly. or now to costa rica where several hundred exiled nicaraguans have protested against their country's president daniel ortega. the protesters demand that all takers stop the repression of media and civil rights thousands of nicaraguans have fled to costa rica since the outbreak of anti-government protests more than three hundred people have been killed in more than five months of civil unrest in september nicaragua made street protests illegal human rights watch criticize the raids on opposition media and the closure

of human rights organizations the crowd was northern neighbor honduras is also accused of similar violations but there is a contrast in how the us treat these central american countries one receives punishing sanctions the other an extensive aid package donald quarter has the details. it's a tale of two central american countries both plagued with somewhat similar problems corruption violence and government crackdowns. the. rule of law has not fared so well in either country with one door us and nicaragua both sinking towards the bottom of the list ponderosa in nicaragua both exemplify a recent regional trend of suppressing the right to protest and using excessive force against demonstrators however hunder us is the only one out of the two that

the us seems to have a soft side for don't just take my word for it nicaragua was one of the us is tyrannical trio the spread of tyranny follows a predictable pattern media and opposition parties are silenced the regime unleashes its militants to kidnap torture and execute dissidents but one doris well they're of valuable ally especially after they voted with the us to legitimize to roussillon as israel's capital to people a hundred and stupid with us to make that decision ourselves and decide we're we've got our embassy and that's right and we greatly appreciate not just disappeared on them but on so many. united nations now both nicaragua and honduras crackdown on anti-government protests this year but they've evoked quite different reactions from the u.s. when nicaragua does it it's a threat to the legitimacy of the current administration every does not victim of

this violence and intimidation campaign further undermine its take its legitimacy. and one hundred doors cracks down on protesters after a sketchy election well that's a time for people to hold hands and sing coom by coming out of the elections. in. the united states to egypt very important that people come together. to become inclusive and we find success in this but that's words now what about the money the u.s. is shoveling military and economic aid honduras is way sixty eight million tax dollars worth and at the very same time nicaragua is about to be slapped with further sanctions just last week congress passed the nneka act over the latin american countries corruption and human rights violations so two countries with very similar

problems but two very different approaches. the view of those two countries has been highly. distorted by the mainstream media and by the us government the united states is not concerned about human rights and democracy in fact we know that the u.s. supports seventy three percent of the world's you tater ships but uses human rights very. arbitrarily and selectively in order to justify its own geo political. force is a classic example where the us ordered the supposed dictatorship for decades and then when there was a popular all revolution by the sea at least for over ten years supporting culture terror against their country people forget about that you know and those things need to be remembered in the context of the of the situation we're talking about today. a feud between democrats and republicans over plans for

a wall between the united states and mexico has led to threats of a u.s. government shutdown donald trump is seeking over five billion dollars for a wall to prevent illegal immigration or the democrats insist on less than two billion and a simpler border fence president trump lashed out claiming that any democrat saying the border would be secure without a wall is just another politician following the party line for now it's still not clear what exactly will be built on the us mexico border. border security to the people of our country very important the wall is a big factor in border security number one we are for strong border security.

speaking for myself consider the wall and moral walls can be scaled over walls can be tunneled under the wall doesn't stop any bad things from happening it just makes it impossible for the folks on our side to see what's developing it makes it more difficult for them. the president executive order one three seven six seven directed us to build a wall on the southwest border the wall that we're going to put in here is vance a wall that we're going to put in here you may be wondering why are we choosing the type of french that we're choosing the bollard wall that we're going to be putting in place excuse me to safety aspects that a wall provides this type of fence or this type of ball of walls.

if we don't get what we want one way or the other whether it's through you through a military through anything you want to call i will shut down the guy who can have it or not this temper tantrum that he seems to throw will not get in his wallet and it will hurt a lot of people because he will cause a shutdown. church in the u.k. has blocks an illegal immigrants deportation after the asylum seeker converted to christianity the man of iranian origin known as a glowing to due care was going to u.k. residence in two thousand and nine for five years however the british government says he's a threat to society and has already been jailed for sexually assaulting a seventeen year old girl he was released three years ago with an order of deportation but after looking through his eight hundred fifty twitter posts quoting

the bible and christian theology the court decided that he was at risk of persecution if sent back to iran. circumstances i am satisfied that the appellant. there is a real risk that in his return he would be questioned about the details of his asylum claim even though the judge admitted he thought the man's religious conversion was an attempt to avoid deportation he still found it unlikely as human rights would be breached when we got the opinion of keith best of a former chief executive of the immigration advisory service and david coburn a member of the european parliament for scotland. what we are applying is a british act of parliament which had got to the european convention but you know i am not angry in the european you eleven on human rights act if we start discriminating against people for reasons of their faith or their sexual propensity

or whatever then we are on very serious go britain should be setting an example around the world of actually maintaining the rights of individuals and once we start slipping from that we fall into the era of many other countries which are far less liberal and that's a very serious decline in civilisation no those countries those sovereign nations beat their own decisions and i don't think it's for you to tell them what to do i deplore what they're very but it's their decision now as regards a criminal who comes here and commits a heinous crime of rape quite frankly he has no right to stay in this country and should be removed and we should make it very clear and i would move us from that particular act so that we can make our own decisions about keeping people in the country or having the move as i'm concerned one service sectors which you didn't serve by the way it was a part of it is feet would touch the ground the the fundamental human rights

apply universally their plight or everybody and just because you don't like particular people or because they've committed certain crimes you can start to distinguish otherwise you end up like the nazis in germany and i don't want to live in that kind of society. the fate of theory i will be thrashed down to this through a city of geneva later today at a meeting hosted by the un's special syria and boy stephan de mistura top diplomats from russia evren and turkey will put their weight behind political efforts to ease years of turmoil in the region well our senior correspondent my dad she ever been geneva for as my i get to see you what do you think we can expect from today's gathering. well as one official put it today is a day for a breakthrough or

a breakdown in negotiations russia iran and turkey the three principal actors behind these this peace initiative along with the united nations have been trying to form a constitutional committee to either write a new constitution for syria or amend the current constitution in order to allow for national elections all the syrian elections in order to you know stablish a peaceful solution to this civil war which is raged for so many years now unfortunately the main sticking point is who gets the stuff this constitutional committee because. the russians. and the rain ians all have different views the syrian government obviously wants to get as many of its people in there the rebels these limits want to get as many of their people into this constitutional committee so that is the main sticking point and we're about to find out what solution they

they've come to indeed the turkish foreign minister in turn said that they've had very little support from the u.s. led international coalition and events on the ground a volatile as well because turkey has been threatening a military invasion and intervention into northern syria against the kurds there who views as terrorists the. things have been volatile as well with sporadic shelling and fighting between the syrian arab army and the hardest the rebels and you have to have. the kill he's taking and everybody's eyes are on geneva today to see whether they've come to a solution actually yes hope for some breakthrough today and i guess you have keeping across developments that for us thanks very much what else. come off the break death threats to the family of a rights lawyer in germany sparks a probe into right wing groups within the police we have the details for you after

this break. all movement is going. bankers are. rightfully.

the enemy full stop. welcome back police in the german city of frankfurt are under investigation i have a suspicion that a right wing extremist cell is operating within their ranks now thought a german turkish lawyer received a death threat against hope two year old daughter the letter was sent by fax and was supposedly signed by the national socialist underground which is a german nero nazi terrorist group uncovered in two thousand and eleven the n.s.u. is responsible for ten murders mostly of immigrants but lewis says it's quite usual

for her to get threats but this time it was different i receive up to fifty written threats or insults on every day and usually i don't care but this time they mentioned my daughter by name and knew her age and my address was also in the fax my personal data is not publicly accessible it can only be obtained by the authorities. say to say you'll do it says a german lawyer of turkish origin who represents the victims of foreign violence she was involved in a five year long trial of n n a soon member who was sentenced to life in prison for multiple murders in july this year and the threats against her started soon after well according to local media investigators have already found evidence and officers searched her information for information on the lawyer without any reason to do so the initial probe discovered that a group of officers had exchanged nazi symbols and remarks in chat rooms all five

of them have since been suspended the case of course has sparked outrage. who of a shares right wing extremist ideas propagate xenophobia threats and repulsive violence and uses police instruments for his actions has no business in our police which is firmly grounded in the constitution radicals have no business with the police and they must not be given a pass otherwise the trust the police enjoy in our country will be destroyed and then pay from gemini's less possibility if the investigation should be checking all government bodies in the country there is probably a right wing cell in what is a front. and that is very worrying i don't think that right we extremism is only coming from for all sides there are always parts off for state structure as. well as all of the different traded a right wing i would be i think the government should do more about this stuff

should be not cover up or the issue was and real investigation are all indications that state structures are as well and often there's a lot of cover up of the issues. investment bank goldman sachs is facing criminal charges in malaysia over the loss of billions of dollars from a state investment fund the firm says the former government in kuala lumpur is to blame claiming it lied to the bank daniel bush will investigate whether the company will face any real consequences the indictment states goldman sachs not only got ridiculously inflated fees of six hundred million dollars for helping start malaysia's corrupt national wealth fund were in coalition leader abraham says the wall street bank must be complicit in the whole affair probably the most stunning financial scandal of the decade is the failure of governance and you allow this to

points out goldman actually promoted him worse liason his guilty plea notes others at the bank helped him conceal bribes what he did even quote very much in line with the culture of goldman sachs that culture thrives thanks to what's called the revolving door. or where goldman chiefs worldwide made lawmakers and regulators and vice versa to get elected donald trump railed against goldman as a villain the symbol of the corrupt us establishment but as soon as he got in he filled his team with goldman exactly like gary cohn as chief economic adviser goldman gave cone a living presence free broyard as senator elizabeth warren dubs it of a quarter of a billion dollars and comparably brought in tax breaks that earned goldman if earned is the right word more than that within three months according to senate's a warrant gary cohen picks out the sacks full of mining goes into government and rewrites the tax laws marriages to cram it through and pointed called once again

shell savvy investor u.s. senators railed at goldman selling ordinary american products they knew would fail them betting on their failure practices that contributed to the two thousand and eight world economic crash then treasury secretary hank paulson nevertheless handed goldman a ten billion dollar bailout paulson just happened to have been yes you guessed it goldman sachs chief the evidence shows that goldman repeatedly put its own interests and profits ahead of the interests of its clients and our communities when the system finally collapsed under the weight of those toxic mortgages goldman profited from the collapse using a fictitious exchange rate in two thousand and one gold magically disappeared greece's debt so it could cheat its way into the e.u. the bank is said to have trials at an eye watering three hundred million dollar fee in fact greece's debt actually rose and was handed to its citizens suffering to this day the great trick was arranged by this man who infamously said the bank is

center of the cause of this i hear it on t.v. love to hate your thoughts on our stories so do you get in touch by following us on social media we're back with the latest at the top of the out. manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fines.

we can all middle of the room sick. greetings and sal you take. a long time ago last april to be exact the president of the united states of america one donald trump got up in front of the press the country and the whole wide world and declared quote will be coming out of syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation. well my friends now less

than a year later apparently our plans have changed regarding syria rather drastically because according to the washington post the administration has now switched course saying the troops will stay in syria pending an overall settlement of the syrian war and with a new mission to act as a bold wark against iran's expanding influence well how bout a merry christmas to you to their warmongers yes some four thousand odd u.s. troops along with multiple bases occupying roughly a third of the entire country have now been ordered to stay and if i might add they've been ordered to stay without invitation by the syrian government and under the their lives the thin excuse is we must stop iran's expanding influence that's the best they got he smells a lot like johnny bone.
