donald trump and the israeli prime minister have unveiled what they call the deal of the century a peace plan to win to the israeli palestinian conflict but a vision has already been denounced by the palestinian leader who planted the flap of the century. french firefighters strike turns out in the capital paris where riot police were thought to tear gas and water cannon. hillary clinton lashes out at facebook's mark zuckerberg for quote intending to reelect donald trump or keeping everyone but herself accountable for her 2016 u.s. presidential election defeat. i always thought many people will blog but that he
3:01 pm
was part of the deep state that he was on the 1st are these against. a very warm welcome you're watching r t international with me nicky aaron. mapping out his plan for solving the israeli palestinian conflict in the last hour donald trump's president presented to the world his much heralded peace plan the big reveal is the culmination of trump's reversal of u.s. policy in the region often in defiance of the international community of more on there is that caleb maupin joins me from new york hey look what's in this deal then . well there was quite a jubilant atmosphere in the room i asked donald trump put forward what he calls the deal of the century which will be his plan to solve the conflict between israelis and palestinians he heralded the proposal as being great for both sides
3:02 pm
this is trump presenting his proposal my vision presents a win win opportunity for both it's a realistic 2 state solution the resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace. now palestinian voices don't seem to share trumps optimism when it comes to this proposal namely because they were not included in the conference where this proposal was actually drawn up no palestinians were involved in drafting this proposal now trump basically has put forward that the palestinians will have 4 years to accept this deal and he says it is in their interest because it will double their territory he actually tweeted out a map of what things would look like under his proposal however it's worth noting
3:03 pm
that there was a lack of clarity on some of the points even as trump was speaking he mentioned that jerusalem which was recognized by the united states as the israeli capital would be israel's undivided capital but he also mentioned that the deal would include a palestinian embassy a u.s. embassy for palestinians for a palestinian state in east jerusalem not exactly clear how that would work take a listen under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important undivided capital this map will more than double the palestinian territory and provide a palestinian capital in eastern jerusalem where america will proudly open and embassy. now benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister was very enthusiastic about the deal though he didn't seem to emphasize it being for good for both sides
3:04 pm
this is the engine netanyahu addressing the gathering. it's a great plan proves rule it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done through israel i'm not surprised. now donald trump has proclaimed himself to be a great deal maker his best selling book was called the art of the deal but this strategy seems a little bit interesting when making a deal and negotiating you lock one side completely out of the deal put forward a proposal without any of their input and then declare victory. caleb maupin thank you for going over those details of florence thank you let's go live now to annoyed to stay in the west bank to discuss this thank you for joining us on r.t. now benjamin netanyahu he really sang the praises of chunk still didn't he was the palestinian perspective. well the palestinian perspective.
3:05 pm
is one of no surprise really just like in the minute the new who wasn't surprised by just how aligned trump's vision is with the right wing in israel palestinians weren't surprised either what this plan is really far as the palestinians are concerned is an attempt by trump to deflect attention from his impeachment hearings to help out that the neo on the right wing in israel win in the upcoming elections and march and to decimate the 2 state formula for a solution in the middle east to bully the palestinians into submission and to call that a victory and a great deal for for marketing purposes i think the only people that donald trump was interested in hearing from were those in the room his donors his allies in the republican party. leaders of the israeli right wing.
3:06 pm
politics whether in the u.s. or or in israel the palestinians are not part of the trumps political calculus and that's why the palestinians are very clear on where they stand regarding this so-called plan and the team that drew it up. you may not press. conference donald trump appeared to absolutely convinced the palestinians would love the deal as much as netanyahu data what made him so confidence. you know this is a man that relishes and dealing with alternative facts so maybe in his reality there is another alternative palestinian people that will like being denied their basic rights being denied the rights afforded to them by international law. maybe maybe but in reality on the ground here in palestine and around the world there is
3:07 pm
a resoundingly unanimous palestinian. position regarding this and it is aligned with international law it's aligned with the international consensus and it leaves not the whole and and trump the 2 bodies in their own corner what trump presented is not a plan it is not a starter of any kind of conversation and it certainly doesn't even fall anywhere near a starting line for negotiations for a peace deal what it does the is that it puts the united states in the grouping of rogue states that have absolutely no regard for international law that undermine the standing of the united nations and all the rules and and laws that have regulated international politics for over 70 years. and for very personal very narrow political objectives. will legitimize annexation
3:08 pm
by force will legitimize the denial of the palestinian people's right to self-determination now it's time to hear from the rest of the world palestinians know exactly what they want they want justice they want freedom they want a life of dignity and prosperity not handouts and certainly not by. as in the tune of 50000000000. quite capable of having a very prosperous economy if we're afforded independent sovereign state we are entitled to. our native home alone let alone want trump promised he promised a win win for both sides he said it would give the palestinians a chance to quote most of the art of statehood. the palestinian president has responded to in the past hour or so he called the deal a slap in the face and a conspiracy so you think he's overreacting a little bit. no i don't think he's overreacting at all it is a slap in the face not just to the palestinian people but again to the entire
3:09 pm
international community legitimizing annexation is legitimizing a crime in international law what trump is doing is opening the floodgates he is telling countries that if you have enough power and if you're friends with me then you can take over. territory of other countries no problem as long as i'm happy and you can go right ahead and do it the palestinian president is speaking on behalf of all of all palestinians who are outraged and and indignant at the condescending tone of donald trump at the lies peddled in the press conference at the map that was distributed shortly after that press conference this is there's nothing in what the term presented that resembles a palestinian state what this plan allows is for israel to get rid of part of its palestinian population the palestinian israeli citizens. and to annex
3:10 pm
most of the occupied west bank and to leave us with isolated barely contiguous islands of populated areas under the mercy of the control of the is really a military it's repackaged up are tied it's a nonstarter it cannot possibly be acceptable to any logical. or sane palestinian for that matter no i definitely plan as an analyst in the west bank thank you for your time. but with more reaction we can go to our correspondent in tel aviv now paula good to see you what's the attitude towards the deal in the middle east. what we have heard from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas with the resoundingly no no no saying that jerusalem is not for sale and that this proposed peace plan can be put in the dustbin of history he's lent. support to palestinian cause for there to be a boycott of american goods and for any kind of american signs to be removed from
3:11 pm
buildings and institutions both in the gaza strip and in the west bank take a listen. dear friend we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about with a cool deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say 1000 times no to this proposal. now we've also heard from him us who rules the gaza strip and they have said and i'm quoting that statement was aggressive and will spark a lot of anger they say that his statements regarding jerusalem would nonsense and that this is not a plan for peace but rather a plan for sanctions and a plan for impossibilities and and unreality to happen the tweet that has also appeared almost minutes after that press conference was held between the american president and the israeli prime minister the tweet came
3:12 pm
from an adviser to iran's president hassan rouhani and he said that this is a deal between me and i mr regime and the u.s. government says certainly a lot of anger we're also hearing from a top israeli military intelligence officer saying that they anticipate that there will be some reaction from the streets in both the arab and the palestinian world and in this respect the israeli army on the jordanian border has gone on high alert now on saturday there will be an emergency meeting held by the arab league in cairo so we certainly are witnessing an increasing sense of anger on the palestinian street. but i didn't know it would go in the united nations the immediate work given to the mountains of the drum deal for the good school side against international legal decisions in the national rights about palestinian people i don't want to call the region around the verge of a dangerous earthquake that will strike to the. more of the palestinian issue and will he be over once break and when the territories didn't cause in the region. now
3:13 pm
a small group of palestinians are protesting in the palestinian city of ramallah and also a number of other cities across the west bank they've been burning the american and israeli flag also on tuesday in the hours ahead of this meeting between trump and it on yahoo thousands of protesters took to gaza to the streets in gaza to express their disdain if you look at the place conference was particularly noticeable is that you have the american president an israeli prime minister and nobody there were present in the palestinian side so of course this is raising our brows as is the fact that the american president is facing impeachment charges just hours before his quest press conference took place netanyahu was indicted back here in his role so you have 2 world leaders who are negotiating a peace deal who have lost a lot of political clout and political credibility in their own countries the american president also repeatedly thanked the americans and the israelis who were involved in putting this deal together but he didn't thank any palestinians again
3:14 pm
evident that there was no palestinian input or at least nothing that he felt he should be thankful for thanking people for there has been an alert there's been issued by the american embassy here forbidding americans who work in the embassy from visiting the israeli old city in jerusalem also the west bank of the gaza strip out of security concerns and we're also hearing from peace now it's a left wing israeli political non political and non political organization it's an ngo non-governmental organization saying that this deal is detached from reality so certainly a lot of questions and a lot of criticism and a lot of our brows being raised. of a new approach drawn by making the same failed assumptions. moving
3:15 pm
on now it seems that barely a week goes by without a new protest gripping the french capital and now it's the turn of the firefighters his latest demonstration in paris has descended into violent clashes with police. place he is taking us on was to come in to disperse protesters the firefighters have been striking since june demanding better working conditions to defend ski
3:16 pm
reports from the city. a noisy protest 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 back on in 2017 is it 120000 job losses over 3 years and also. what they say is the lack of recognition in their job saying it's a risky profession and they want to be recognized 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 the support we need a massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of old school loves that 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
3:17 pm
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 no but there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk and this should be factored in a. security or in 2010 to 2018 firefighters have faith. 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 billets workers back in august of last year those attacks are
3:18 pm
said to reached a record high with many people claiming that there is a problem luring firefighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or attacks been recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached $23000.00 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 are on the streets again in paris hoping that this time the voices will be heard by the government. r.t. in paris. defeated 2016 us presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to relate to trump this year after the platform which she dubs championed refuse to delete political adverse democrats claim the ads are misinformation and lies and although clinton is not even running
3:19 pm
for president she seems reluctant to cede control of the party as 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 electro 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 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
3:20 pm
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 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
3:21 pm
and. why can't she lead goal of her losing. dare 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 gnome don't you wonder stan 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. 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 but if you think she is
3:22 pm
the past think again the d.n.c. just released its 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 cari sellers 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 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 what's happening right now as you're seeing the old school d.n.c. that nancy pelosi has been trying to control fighting against this new left move there's a lot of progressives and young people who won this city who have no interest in
3:23 pm
joe biden but if you say who are the d.n.c. who who are democrats. i'm telling you right now democrats are really. ours we public and 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 have. no interest in this they're just regular for. the u.k. has given the green light to the involvement of the chinese tech giant far way in the building of britain's new 5 g. network but despite increased pressure from the us against the move the sorry has more. the u.k. government announcing that they've given the green light to chinese tech giants who weiwei to play a role in bringing out and developing the u.k.'s 5 g.
3:24 pm
mobile network and it will only be limited to non core aspects of that network which the u.k. says is to protect the own so called critical infrastructure now that decision announced by the prime minister johnson and his government is likely to cause concern and heavy pressure in the us where the government there have been lobbying the u.k. not to allow the chinese giant weiwei to play any role in rolling out the 5 g. network in fact the u.s. and selves have banned who i way from the 5 g. network in their own country and we've seen in the past for a long time in fact donald trump and other u.s. officials taking a hardline approach on this issue huawei is. a company we may not do business with at all because it is a national security threat the united states has also been very clear with our security partners on the threat posed by huawei the chinese government can
3:25 pm
rightfully demand access to data flowing through one way and c.d.s. systems why would anyone grant such power to regime that has already grossly violated cyberspace that part of the network which weiwei will be developing according to the u.k. government means that they'll only be limited to a 35 percent market share cap so in other words an attempt by the british government to limit any concerns around why way developing any type of market dominance but the chinese company themselves they've all welcomed the recent announcement this evidence to base the decision will result you know mole devised most secure and them all cost effective to come infrastructure so that it's a treat for the future it to keep the u.k. . a success tool would be to do technology and ensures competitive market now according to some sources in the u.k.
3:26 pm
government there was really very little alternative because not many other providers or companies or even countries have the type of technological development to be able to roll out these critical parts of the new network but in any case it needs the u.k. government with a big balancing act they are looking of course to the u.s. for a trade deal post breaks it but as well would have been keen to realize that any trade deal with the u.s. has to be offset by the fact they need to proceed in good relations with china as well. we also discussed the issue with our guests social media the way diet cohen and professor of cyber security at the university of central lancashire max ice at . the u.s. government will say this is certainly all about security that is 100 percent a security issue so somehow the u.k. government has to justify its decision in both ways on the one hand it needs to justify its decision to allow all who are we to continue working on the network on
3:27 pm
the other hand it needs to justify the decision to meet some of the aspects of the war wow we'll debate work well the decision itself was and surprising because it's a sensible decision and it's it makes a reasonable compromise between the technology needs of 5 g. networks in the u.k. and the security concerns that were raised by the u.s. and even some officials in the u.k. as well because at the end of the day the u.k. needs 5 g. technologies. is already involved in delivering some of the 3 g. or 4 g. technologies over the last 15 years in the case it will make sense for them to deploy some of their 5 g. technologies. to in the u k. we love to hear your thoughts on all stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and the comments that we're back at the top of the hour with the
3:28 pm
latest. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo debt engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . that's what happens when you put her into the hands of
3:29 pm
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 about the modern civilization of america. i actually don't think monopolies per se are the problem it's monopolistic access to credit or to politicians and probably both the crony financial ism crony capitalism that's the big problem.
3:30 pm
because of this is the kaiser report you for that expression poop floats. reminds me in davos. at the top of the world are a bunch of billionaires floating stating. fact there are 2153 billionaires and they hold more than 4600000000 people combined that came out right when 119 of those billionaires close to 10 percent were meeting up and last week and not much happened there to warrant their getting so much attention but we're going to pay some attention to that the founder of world's largest hedge fund says cash is trash as the dow soars to records ray dally who says world economic forum 2020 investor should be buying this market rather than seeking safety in cash that's it.
