that was. it was. all trump and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are about to unveil a plan to bring peace between israel and palestine at a press conference at the white house we'll go live to that as soon as it gets underway. a french firefighters strike turns ugly in the capital paris where riot police resorted to gas and water cannon. hillary clinton lashes out at facebook's mark zuckerberg for quote intending to relax donald trump while keeping everyone but herself accountable for her $26000.00 us presidential election defeat . i always thought that many people i will block but that he was part of the deep

state that he was on the 1st are these against her. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me. donald trump's branded the deal of the century and in just a few moments we'll find out just more tears plan is to achieve peace between israel and palestine the big reveal is the culmination of transfer versal of u.s. policy in the region often in defiance of the international community russia's foreign ministry has been speaking about the issue. of 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 type. the issue what i'd like to see the analysis of the international

mediators the so-called quartet these are russia the us the un the european union a mechanism that's been mostly inactive in recent years so hasn't worked to help find a universally applicable solution. artie's middle east correspondent paula slayer has more now on what's anticipated from the man who wrote the art of the deal. what we are getting a few leaks and as you well say this is been tunnel to by the american president for several years now as the deal of the same surely it's his proposal for a long lasting peace between israelis and palestinians what we do understand is that it's the most favorable a vote 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 one of that actually is very close to heart israel once the vents and the 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. the opportunity of a short trip or we're going to proceed. we will talk about the more. i just want to thank you for there were you going there were. the words now as excited as the israeli prime 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 there and we think we will ultimately have the support of the published it is 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 call. for a day of rage and also urging palestinians to boycott american goods and to remove any kind of american symbols from institutions and postings in the west bank and gaza at the same time the israeli army along the jordan border has gone on a state of high alert in anticipation that they could be riots or demonstrations following that the announcement of the details of the still. would go in the united nations to intervene immediately given the mountains of the drum deal from the political side against international legal decisions in the national rights about

palestinian people in. 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. the beginning of a new approach by making the same failed assumptions. since

barely a week goes by without a new protest gripping the french capital now is the turn of fire fighters whose latest demonstration in paris has descended into violent clashes with police. police used tear gas and water coming to disperse protesters the firefighters have been striking since june demanding better working conditions solid to bensky the pools from the sea. and noisy protests live in paris as firefighters i take to the streets once again in a protest now that's been going on for almost 70 a protest against the reforms in the civil service announced by president michel in 2017 is 120000 job losses over 3 years and also i think

that what they say is the lack of recognition in their job saying it's a risky profession and they want to be back look just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris where the fire fighters have come from across france to try and get their food he says heard up by the government they say that they support the need to massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of old lives they receiving is increasing every year and they don't have the stones to cover it we've been speaking to some of the firefighters at this protest to ask them a bit more about the problems they're receiving in that profession why are we protesting for 7 months because we've had no response from the administration or from the government oh look what there are 2 problems firstly our work involves

a high level of risk and this should be factored in a. secure in 2010 to 2018 firefighters have faced an increase. in the number of verbal and physical attacks against them our police colleagues get more because of the greater risk they face and we're demanding an increase also. we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly because departments are having their budgets slashed. so in terms of attacks on the firefighters there are no specific figures just for them but there are figures for all emergency crews that firefighters police officers and ambulance workers back in august of last year those attacks are said to be just a record high with many people claiming that there is a problem luring 5 fighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or attacks

being recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached 23000 so that some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve to have a risk premium just like the police are paid they're out on the streets again in paris hoping that this time their voices will be heard by the government even ski r.t. in paris. defeated 2016 u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to reelect trump this year after the part for which she ducked a trumpy and refused to delete political ad 1st democrats claim the ads are misinformation and lies and although clinton's not even running for president she seems reluctant to cede control of the party donald quarter 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 electric but intends to be electronic this is a global company that has huge influence in 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. so here we go back top top story donald trump branded it the deal of the century the u.s. president is expected to unveil a plan aimed at achieving peace between israel and palestine he on the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressing the media in washington right now so let's listen in. thank you very much thank you. today israel takes

a big step towards peace. young people across the middle east are ready for a more hopeful future and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and islamic extremism are everyone's common enemy yesterday i had the pleasure of meeting with both the prime minister of israel and a man that's working very hard to become the primary minister of israel in the longest running election of all time. benny gantz of the blue and white party and both leaders join me to express their support for this effort. proving that the state of israel looking for peace and that peace transcends politics by any measure unimaginable that's what they want to a on my 1st trip overseas as

president i visited the holy land of israel i was deeply moved and amazed by what this small country had achieved in the face of overwhelming odds and never ending threats the state of israel comprises only a miniscule amount of land in the middle east and yet it has become a thriving center of democracy innovation culture and commerce israel is a light unto the world the hearts and history of our people are woven together the land of israel is an ancient home a sacred place of worship and a solemn promise to the jewish people that we will never again repeat history's darkest hour. the a . during my trip to israel i also met with palestinian president

abbas in bethlehem i was saddened by the fate of the palestinian people they deserve a far better life they deserve the chance to achieve their extraordinary potential palestinians have been trapped in a cycle of terrorism poverty and violence exploited by those seeking to use them as pawns to advance terrorism and extremism. i returned from my visit determined to find a constructive path and it's got to be a very powerful path forward in the israeli palestinian conflict to further this effort i also met with president abbas at the white house forging peace between israelis and palestinians may be the most difficult challenge of all. all prior administrations from president lyndon johnson have tried and bitterly failed

. but i was not elected to do small things or shy away from big problems or to a it's been a long and very arduous process to arrive at this moment on sunday i delivered to prime minister netanyahu my vision for peace prosperity and a brighter future for israelis and palestinians this vision for peace is fundamentally different from past proposals in the past even the most well intentioned plans were light on factual details and heavy on conceptual framework 6 by contrast our plan is 80 pages and is the most detailed proposal ever put

forward by far as i have seen throughout my long career as a deal maker complex problems require nuanced fact based remedies that is why our proposal provides precise technical solutions to make israelis palestinians and the region safer and much more prosperous my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risk phallus that in statehood to israel's security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace yesterday prime minister netanyahu informed me that he is willing to endorse the vision as the basis for direct negotiations and i will say the general also endorsed and very strongly with the palestinians a historic breakthrough and likewise. we have really

a situation having to do with a race that is taking place right now it will end and we have the support and it's very important to say this of both parties and almost all people in israel they want peace and they want peace badly thank you says the 1st time israel has authorized the release of a conceptual map illustrating the territorial compromises it's willing to make for the cause of peace and they've got a long way this is an unprecedented and highly significant development. mr prime minister thank you for having the courage to take this bold step forward thank

you one and b.b. we have a lot of powerful people in this room a lot of the people that can help make it work so that's quite a thunderous applause thank you very much thank you. we will form a joint committee with israel to convert the conceptual map into a more detailed and calibrated rendering so that recognition can be immediately

achieved through which will also work to create a contiguous territory within the future palestinian state for when the conditions for statehood are met including the firm rejection of terrorism thank . you under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important undivided capital thank you elaine . what

that's no big deal because i've already done that for you right. we've already done that but that's ok it's going to remain that way and the united states will recognize israeli sovereignty over the territory that my vision provides to be part of the state of israel very important to her and crucially the proposed friends ition to a 2 state solution will present no incremental security risk to the state of israel whatsoever which will not allow a return to the days of bloodshed bus bombings nightclub attacks and relentless terror won't be allowed peace requires compromise but we will never ask israel to

compromise its security came to a has everyone knows i have done a lot for israel moving the united states embassy to jerusalem recognizing thank you who dies ing the golan heights the one frankly perhaps most importantly getting out of the terrible iran nuclear deal you. know who . a there's a lot of spirit in this room. it's true you don't see it often you don't see it

often. therefore it is only reasonable that i have to do a lot for the palestinians or it just wouldn't be fair don't plan for that ok but it's true it wouldn't be fair i want this deal to be a great deal for the palestinians there has to be today's agreement is a historic opportunity for the palestinians to finally achieve an independent state of their very own after 70 years of little progress this could be the last opportunity they will ever have and last for a lot of reasons we'll never have a team like we have right down we have a team of people that love the united states and they love israel and they have very smart and very very committed from your ambassador david friedman to a

jason and the and jared cohen and they're all great deal makers and they also understand the other side and they want the other side to do well because that's the sign of a great deal and they understand that and i just appreciate all the 4 hard work you put in and so many of your other friends and of course our great secretary of state powell a a it's a processor who now is very impressive. that reporter couldn't have done too good a job yesterday to begin did a good job and her actually. it's good thank you mike great area are you running

for senate i guess the answer is no after that. they all want him to kansas great state they want him to but you're doing a great job don't move for. the palestinian people have grown distrustful after years of unfulfilled promises so true yet i know they are ready to escape their tragic past and realize a great destiny but we must break free of yesterday's failed approaches this map will more than double the palestinian territory and provide a palestinian capital in eastern jerusalem where america will proudly open an embassy. to. no palestinians or israelis will be uprooted from their homes to israel will work closely with a wonderful person

a wonderful man the king of jordan to ensure that the status quo of the temple mount is preserved and strong measures are taken to ensure that all muslims who wish to visit peacefully and pray at the. mosque will be able to do so this is a major statement this is a major import importance and at the same time our vision will deliver a massive commercial investment of $50000000000.00 into the new palestinian state you have many many countries that want to partake in this and many of them are surrounding they all want this to happen virtually every one of them want this to happen and i think bibi you know that very well you can have tremendous support from your neighbors and beyond your neighbors over the next 10 years if executed well 1000000 great new. palestinian jobs will be created their poverty rate will be cut in half and their poverty rate is unacceptable now and only getting worse their

g.d.p. will double and triple and much needed hope joy opportunity and prosperity will finally arrive for the palestinian people. our vision will end this cycle of palestinian dependency upon charity and foreign aid they will be doing phenomenally all by themselves they are a very very capable people. and we will help empowering the palestinians to thrive on their own palestinians will be able to seize the new future with dignity self-sufficiency and national pride to ensure a successful palestinian state we are asking the palestinians to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence. to it this includes adopting basic laws ensuring human rights

protecting against financial and political corruption stopping the malign activities of hamas islamic jihad and other enemies of peace ending the incitement of hatred against israel so important and permanently halting the financial compensation to terrorists guy and perhaps most importantly my vision gives the palestinians the time needed to rise up and meet the challenges of statehood i sent a letter today to president i explained to him that the territory allocated for

his new state will remain open and undeveloped for a period of 4 years during this time palestinians can use all appropriate deliberation to study the deal they go shit with israel achieve the criteria for statehood and become a truly independent and wonderful state. president abbas i want you to know that if you choose the path to peace america and many other countries will we we will be there we will be there to help you in so many different ways and we will be there every step of the way and will be there for was another words for the 1st time in many many decades i can say it will work it's going to work if they do this it will work your response to this historic opportunity will
