afghanistan the incident this complicating hopes for a peace deal after 19 years of. joining us this is r.t. international. donald trump's branded it the deal of the century and in just a few hours' time we will find out just what his plan is to achieve peace between israel and palestine the big reveal is the culmination of trump's reversal of u.s. policy in the region often in defiance of international community russia's foreign ministry has spoken about the. if the leaks about the deal of the century are based on facts that means it will be a totally new way to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict a way different from everything acknowledged by the international community as a basis to tackle the issue. i'd like to see the analysis of the international
8:02 am
mediators the so-called quartet these are russia of the us the un the european union a mechanism that's been mostly inactive in recent years so it hasn't worked to help find a universally applicable solution. middle east correspondent joins me on the line up paula do we have any idea at this point of what might be in the peace plan. what we are getting a few leaks and as you well say this has been touted by the american president for several years now as the deal of the century it's his proposal for a long lasting peace between israelis and palestinians what we do understand is that it's the most favorable offer ever made from an american president to the israelis and that many of the issues actually mirror the israeli position so for example when you're talking about refugees the issue of jerusalem the status of borders all of that actually is very close to heart israel wants the vents and the
8:03 am
issue to be resolved and it takes all of israel's security concerns into consideration from the leaks we understand that the west bank will be divided 70 percent into a future palestinian state and 30 percent will join israel there will be an israeli recognition of a palestinian state and israel will stop with its settlement expansion all of this however will have a 4 year period for preparation to be made for the situation to evolve now the israeli prime minister as you can well imagine is delighted by this news he is meeting with donald trump in a few hours and during that meeting the plan will be unveiled. below the structure is the opportunity. it was a century and we're not going to pass a bar and we'll talk about that tomorrow today i repeat i just want to say thank you for everything you've done for the state of israel. you've been the greatest friend that if you are in the white house. now as excited as the israeli prime
8:04 am
minister is the american president is just as delighted promising that this will be a deal that will make a difference. we have the support of the prime minister we have the support of the other parties and we think we will ultimately have the support of the palestinians but we're going to see. the only problem is that no one's actually asked the palestinians and certainly all indications are that they will reject it we've already heard from the palestinian leadership calling for a day of rage and also urging palestinians to boycott american goods and to remove any kind of american symbols from institutions and buildings in the west bank and in gaza at the same time the israeli army along the jordan border has gone on a state of high and in anticipation that they could be riots or demonstrations following that announcement of the details of the still. being in the united nations to intervene immediate work given the mountains of the drum deal
8:05 am
from the political side as against international legal decisions in the national rights of all the palestinian people. because the region is on the verge of a dangerous quake that will strike to the core of the palestinian issue and will help the death of the west bank and the entire palestinian cause in the region. now there's also been negative reaction here in israel from the umbrella organization for the settler movement and they say that they will completely reject any kind of deal that recognizes a palestinian state here is a recap of how events unfolded to bring us to this point. of a new approach. by making the same failed assumptions. defeated

2016 u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to relax donald trump this year after the platform which she dubs trump him refused to do the political ad that democrats claim the misinformation and law as well bill clinton's not even running for president this time she seems reluctant to cede control of the party artist of course or explains. she lost the primaries in 2008 she lost the election in 2016 despite having nearly every advantage now hillary clinton's making excuses for the next presidential democratic ticket ahead of the game preemptively pinning the blame on facebook facebook is not just gary to be electro but intends to be electronic this is a global company that has huge influence in
8:07 am
a way that we're only beginning to understand trampy and conspiracies might be a big external threat to the democrats and clinton's world but she's got more shade to throw at forces from within her own party like the socialist sensation from vermont he was in congress well yes he had one senate to support him nobody likes him nobody wants to work with him he got nothing done then there's the new democratic presidential candidate on the block gabbert clinton thinks she could be in bed with washington's favorite bogeyman the russians they've got their eye on somebody who's currently in the democratic primary and they're grooming her to be the 3rd party candidate she's the favorite of the russians they have a bunch of sites and bought and other ways of supporting or so far the sure is a lot of blaming going on surrounding an election that hasn't even happened yet but it's no secret clinton's got an axe to grind she's been blaming anyone but herself
8:08 am
ever since she lost the election in 2016 i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim commies letter on october 28th and russian wiki leaks i inherited nothing from the democratic party would mean nothing i mean it was bankrupt it was on the verge of insolvency the voter suppression that we now know had been in the works and really put into effect and then let's not forget sexism and a sob but if you think she's the past think again the d.n.c. just released it. 2020 committee nominees those responsible for the party's ideological future and the vast majority are connected in one way or another to the defeated clinton carol browner appointed to the d.n.c. in 2016 by clinton but carr reseller's a surrogate for hillary clinton in 2016 craig smith senior advisor to clinton's campaign and let's not forget john podesta the controversial chairman of the
8:09 am
clinton campaign itself who's a legit emails back in 2016 shed light on the enter workings of the clinton clan it's clear the clinton agenda lives on she doesn't even need to run for president again although would you be really surprised if she did why can't she lead goal of her losing there you go again thinking that she is hanging on to the fact that she lost a rigged election there you go again thinking that she cannot understand that she was simply voted out or that america said no don't you want your stand that it's natural for somebody who is. elevated to the self exalted role of the obvious candidate to believe that there was a conspiracy russian acting russian involvement facebook.
8:10 am
or birth now i always thought and many people i know blah thought that he was part of the deep state that he was on her side he's against her what's happening right now is you're seeing the old school d.n.c. that you nancy pelosi has been trying to control fighting against this newly elected to move there's a lot of progressives and young people who won this seat who have no interest in joe biden but if you say who are the d.n.c. who who are democrats. i'm telling you right now the democrats are really just 2 hours republican lights i know what i'm saying is absolutely heretical i know what i'm saying nobody believes this because you think most people think that there is this that america is against trump and pro impeachment most americans have no idea what's going on they worry about schools and crime and their children they
8:11 am
have no interest in this they're just regular folks. on the 1st effort to challenge trump's 26th victory was from a report called the steel dossier claiming the us president conspired with the kremlin however after the publication the report was repeatedly proven to consign multiple phone now british intelligence expert and former member of parliament 9 to west whose examine the document unknown still personally claims much of the material in it was probably catered. i was commissioned by a lawyer in washington d.c. c. to examine the original so-called steel dossier and to conduct a forensic examination of the content which means going through it line by line looking at the attributions working out the value of each individual source and then coming to a conclusion the. fabrication had been much greater than i had suspected i do west said he was hired by republican law firm back in
8:12 am
2017 to look into the dusty closely it was written by former british intelligence agent christopher stale in 26 think his company was hired by the d.n.c. to look into allegations of collusion between tampa moscow and duffy itself claims russia with in possession of compromising material about trump from when he was in the country 7 years prior at west again says many of the reports sources haven't even been validated. this so-called primaries sub source a russian emigre real estate broker in the united states and he in effect distance and in self from the sourcing of the information and the really salacious material relating to president trump he claims he received in a 10 to 15 minute telephone call from somebody who he didn't know an anonymous source and run him and gratuitously volunteered this information

on board the which was carrying military personnel and high ranking cia officer was killed the plane burst into flames and came down in a mountainous area the pentagon says it can't confirm whether it was brought down by an enemy fire that seemingly contradicts the taliban statement. a u.s. bombardier even 11 a crash today in gaza and province afghanistan while the cause of crash is under investigation there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire a special way graft of the american occupy was flying in their area for the purpose of an intelligence mission in this side of the cowl region of de yak district of gas in the province all mujahideen have taken down the aircraft tactically. incident comes as washington bits for a peace deal with the taliban after numerous failed talks the us has been a war in afghanistan for 19 years smog by hundreds of thousands of deaths and a trillion dollars spent to apparently no benefit against the it has more. what did
8:16 am
they die for these men this is the war there is no hope of winning there are no illusions in the pentagon yet the 19 years they have said the lives of their own into the afghan grind. trumps afghan strategy is simple and senseless bomb them to hell literally in 2019 the pentagon dropped more bombs on afghans than in almost any given year in the last decade the tactic he wants peace so he does the opposite we are bringing some of our troops back but we have to have a presence yes we're now going to be there for close to 19 years it's time to bring
8:17 am
them home great nations do not fight endless wars before the next presidential election in the united states would you expect we were do so reduce their troops in afghanistan. that's my directive from the press the united states has been unambiguous and the endless wars are we looking for total we want to. see the afghan war is a bright all motion to it is an embarrassment all they have to show for 2 decades of war is a loan least of dead americans dead civilians and a trillion dollars down the drain the only way to see. save face is to bury the truth the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth we have created an incentive to almost require or for people to a lot there's an odor of mendacity throughout the afghanistan
8:18 am
issue and i know congressman connelly has heard me talk about this years ago mendacity and hoover us as i said there are no illusions washington knows full well that it is so screwed that afghanistan is a lost cause that they messed up as revealed by the afghan war papers in which officials in these who so rare moment in which their honest would trying to do here we didn't have the focus newson would ruin the taking the risk of fundamental gap of understanding of the front end of the stated objectives and overreliance in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and that in the hubris the arab good to takes the older more and more american troops to go fight in a war that you know is a lost cause these hopeless donald trump has been saying for years he wants to get us out of afghanistan he doesn't seem to be doing that even though in principle
8:19 am
he's the commander in chief he can give the order for them to leave and they will leave but i don't expect that to happen so i think unfortunately we're stuck they are still for the foreseeable future there isn't will all lot in the way of a coherent mission that stated for being in afghanistan of the 1st place except i would say that the mission or being an up in assam is essentially to stay in afghanistan a footprint and a very strategic piece of ground in the middle of eurasia that comment is over our chinese and russian interests and that's the real purpose of being there the taleban perhaps respect that we're simply out of it annoyance. seems barely week goes by without a. new protests gripping the french capital now it's the turn of firefighters in paris of taking to the streets demanding better resources let's go live to paris our course is the ski show or take us through what's the scene like there now.
8:20 am
well actually the firefighters who have been on strike for coming up to 7 months protesting every few weeks to try and get their voices heard by the government as you can probably see around me there are many firefighters who've come out here wearing their full uniform trying to show that they are together some sort of sense of unity as they march once again to let the government know that they're unhappy with their lot just like many other professions in france at the moment as i mentioned this strikes been going on now for almost 7 months since she you know over the last year 7 unions getting together who represent the majority of the firefighters here this 85 percent profiled are professional notice to say that they would be taking night destruction that industrial action has continued because they say the government hasn't listened. to what they want or you can hear there's some
8:21 am
grenades going off there's plenty of that plenty of fire for weeks here as well you'd expect lots of health and safety looking up to that of the union say that they don't have enough resources they say that there's a lack of social dialogue with the government and they say that they're unhappy with the reforms to this service these problems to suppress have not gone lie out of iraq in 2017 including a reduction of staff of $120000.00 civil servants over a 3 year period and they say what they want is to be upgraded the job to be considered risky just like the police which would mean they would go. being able to carrying out that job now the other things firefighters said to me that it was problems are violent they get out on the street this is psychological violence and often physical violence to you just like the police in certain departments in front
8:22 am
they call to emergency situations where actually nothing is happening and they are then attacked when they are right but just looking through some of the figures but just of last year it was described as reaching record highs the violence in you crash in attacks against images the work is increased the police the firefighters and ambulance crews there were talks of around a $110.00 assaults every day with more than 23000 assaults taking place across these 3 professions back in 2019 a massive hike up from the year before so this is why the firefighters have come out to protest the using part of this ongoing strike to again get their voices heard unhappy with their lot and saying they want much more from the government and also they want to create most of the group but not because actually i'll just do it soon 150000 strong 5 by different course runs no meat 40000 of them so about a 6 are actually considered to be professional firefighters and so here we are on
8:23 am
the street with the firefighters plenty of fire crackers and grenades going off as they once again take their voices will be heard by the government importing live from paris for a show that is. a professor at the university of tehran and a frequent guest on this channel his facebook and instagram account suspended in what seems to be a continuation of those platforms campaigns to silence probably rein in voices professor side by how many around he told us facebook's claims that he violated their community standards were just a pretext. i can't think of anything that i have published that would be. unacceptable the images the statements the. links that i put on no there is no everything everything is on twitter actually more active on twitter than i am on facebook and my twitter account is their friend he went to see if anyone who wants to see what i've read they can look at twitter and see if what
8:24 am
i've written is there is dangerous or not suspension coincides with the taking down the international website of independent to rein in these agency fars and for it apparently fell foul of u.s. sanctions farsighted it had received a message from its server company said the site had been blocked on u.s. orders. in another case this month press t.v. an english language t.v. network based in iran how did he choose the camp removed staff at the tehran for the channel say it was taken down without warning or explanation each of the did later restore the page. side to him randi again told us it's far from the 1st on that he is facing treatment from social media while they were suspended on a number of occasions for photos including a photo of myself during the iran iraq war it was a minister spend it for a couple of months and then again for a photo that i put up for one of my commanders during the war who was seriously ill
8:25 am
because of the chemical weapons ironically the chemical weapons that the united states and the europeans gave to saddam hussein i was also again my account was suspended for that and on the couple of other occasions for similar reasons and then just suddenly the whole account was disabled without any explanation all together and i'm not even very active on facebook i mean what i put on my twitter account i put the same on facebook and but apparently intolerance is on the rise in the united states and in the west towards any alternative use. ok how about with updates on the top stories for you in just over half of us say that. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or
8:26 am
rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some want to. have to do like to be close to see what the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the house. first of all. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those but. the day there's thinks. we dare to ask.
8:27 am
during the great depression which i'm old must remember there was and most of my family were unemployed working class other wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power and. reduced democracy attack so low down to engineer elections manufacture consent. another prince holds according to know on. one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the arms of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks
8:28 am
about the modern civilization of america. i actually don't think monopolies per se are the problem it's monopolistic access that monopolies have to credit or to politicians and public but with the crony financial ism crony capitalism that's the big problem. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world
8:29 am
corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. include seeking the system we of course we need to to criticize. that is also the power of the companies and we need to criticize what corporate lawyers do but we also need to point our fingers at the states and have we have to really say look. states created the systems and states have the power to get rid of the system that's and even if there are colombia or peru or developing countries even if they
8:30 am
are mali and what have you the states have the power to get rid of the system if they chose to do so. but do they really want to governments and big business are often complicit. in the vattenfall group for example had the chancellor's ear she even appointed its ex e.e.o. larsen just of sin to be her personal advisor on energy transition. most heads of state are ambivalent. not even you don't consider the fast i am. wrong. i have is your to provide their you keep the so for you cannot be easy to preserve on producing items on the. style of play such an easy to transcend. don't ask. you to shop on.
