was. donald trump deal of the century spawn clowns waging protests across the middle east with claims the proposed roadmap to end the israeli palestinian conflict only faces on the feet. of the palestinian leaderships burns transplant calling it the flap of the century the us ambassador to israel has made it clear the palestinian viewpoint is not something that will be taken into account. it doesn't matter what the palestinians say we're going to keep this option open for them for years that's what we want. another week another protester unions are back on the streets of paris still angered at president pension reform plans protests spill over into

violence in the french it's. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me. it was meant to be donald trump failsafe plan to bring peace to the middle east yet just a day after he lifted the lid on his litanies so-called deal of the century outrage among arab nations is prompting fears of a new intifada against israel hundreds have swung to the streets of jordan gaza the west bank and turkey enraged at washington's actions the palestinian president has flat out rejected the deal saying it's biased towards israel although trump insists it's a win win solution my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a
12:02 pm
realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security. was. it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. plan for jerusalem to be israel's undivided capital is already a nonstarter for palestine and israel would also get ultimate control over security and most palestinian resorts is palestine would stay fully demilitarized and israel could destroy any facility for production of banned weapons would be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package. palestine it would consist of the west bank and gaza
12:03 pm
almost entirely separated from each other they would be connected by roads represented by lines on this map here and tunnels and bridges shown as circles now most of which have yet to be built the palestinian state would get a capital on the outskirts of east jerusalem u.s. ambassador to israel claims it doesn't matter that palestine has rejected the deal right now it doesn't matter what the palestinians say we're going to keep this option open for them for 4 years that's what we want israel is committed to negotiating a 2 state solution with the palestinians over the next 4 years even if the palestinians rejected in the short run palestinian statehood to get a capital on the outskirts of east jerusalem polis leah has more. well the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative we've heard from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas saying a 1000 no same with the palestinian people and the issue of jerusalem cannot be
12:04 pm
bought and far from this being the deal of the same tree as the american president likes to put it this is a deal that deserves to be in the trash bin of history i would like to say to do it trump and netanyahu that jerusalem is not for sale and all our rights are not for sale and not for bargaining your conspiracy deal won't pass when we accept a state without jerusalem it is impossible for any palestinian child or arab or christian to accept this this is why we told them from the beginning you know now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he believes this which is a neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem will become the future capital of a palestinian state but this is what critics are accusing largely aravind that is taking the israeli position on major issues now we have heard from a number of states particularly turkey and iran this is an expression plan a minute usurping palestinian learned and killing the 2 state solution jerusalem is
12:05 pm
old red line we won't allow steps to legitimize israel's occupation and oppression this is a deal made between the zionist regime and america interaction with the palestinians is not on its agenda this is not a prime of peace and prosperity but a plan of imposition and sanctions awaiting another. now the iranian foreign minister as obvious has said that this is the dream project of a bankruptcy real estate developer he also says that it is a nightmare for both the region and the world the reaction from european states has been somewhat more neutral we hear from the european union saying that they will study and assess the proposals the united. i'm saying that it could be a step in the positive direction the united nations however has said that it remains committed to a 2 state solution that would see israel and palestine within $967.00 borders now
12:06 pm
a day of rage has been called for today by the palestinian leadership already yesterday in the run up to the announcement and the we always have followed we did see protesters out in the streets of gaza and the west bank burning the american and israeli flag and also pictures of these ladies prime minister and the american president donald trump so no doubt we are on standby for scenes like that unfolding again today and in the coming days and at the same time we've heard from the israeli prime minister that at his sunday cabinet meeting he will push to end next both the jordan valley and settlements in the west bank and that says even with the palestinians agreed to the deal he says that he can go ahead and do this so the frustration and the disappointment and perhaps even the hatred on the streets of palestine and in many countries across the world here in the me john we are witnessing this and intensify and grow the u.s. embassy has been hit to its diplomats and embassy workers from visiting the old
12:07 pm
city of jerusalem the west bank and gaza out of security concerns were discussed translate his proposal with middle east experts from different sides of the conflict. has nothing to do with the deal has nothing to do with the palestinians has nothing to do with international law has nothing to do with the un resolutions has nothing to do with the agreements already signed by the palestinians and israelis the united states recognizes the said israel didn't recognize the state of palestine so in other words until the united states recognize the state of palestine along their idea $67.00 borders would do so as of capital i don't think there is room for any negotiations over anything that's why if the united states want to make amends with this they've got to they have to come to common ground according to international law it's called along the $9067.00 borders that's the issue between the israelis and the palestinians here at a whole campaign he's going to put america 1st all he's doing is trying to incite
12:08 pm
more division more problems and more chaos in the region any peace plan or not the white side if it was a true plan he would be sitting with both presidents of both countries and working together in order to find a common ground a solution until they give back the golan heights and all the territories that they are occupying i guarantee you that there will be no peace plan on the table on the middle eastern side palestinians only claim land they want to claim the lands as a as a staging platform to demolish israel i can see it ever happens it never did happen it never stands a chance every time whenever the palestinians reach into a point where they're given a state of their own they're always rejected and they come up with 1st genocide and then war of attrition and then intifada which is a suicide bombing war and cocktail sort of moment of cocktail sort of campaign and look when they when where when and where they end up now with literally nothing.
12:09 pm
france is in the grip of another week of protests against the government's planned . engine reforms civil servant and trade unions are back on the streets of paris this wednesday comes to the day after the capital was rocked by scenes of violence between the police and protesting firefighters holiday both key picks up the story is protests being run by a number of unions again against the pension reform while the public transport strikes have pretty much come to an end in paris and of course the rest of france this is a momentum now to show that there are still people who are incredibly unhappy with those pension reforms that they have been concessions given to the strikers in the protesters over the last few weeks including the fine that the government has removed the age of retirement which was going to be priest to 60 for that increase of 2 years he's taken that out of the document it reserves the right to put it back
12:10 pm
in business unions to come up with of the solutions in the meantime but that document has been presented to become sort of ministers here in france and it will now go to the national assembly where it's due to be debated in the middle of february other concessions that have been handed out include concessions to the police so that they can keep some of their special regimes and to all the work is that the whole idea of this pension reform was to move fuji 2 different systems down to the universal system to make it move just in fat what the government says however people on the ground many of the people i've spoken to disagree with that they say will mean they'll have to work longer and harder and they may end up with less money at the end of it this gives you a sense of what the perceptions looking like here in paris today to get a sense of that support let's think back to that december 5th protest where we saw over 800000 people across the country since then in the week since that number has
12:11 pm
come down the last protests we were out at the nation where protesters are friday official figures. yes they do around $31000.00 people came out to support that actually they it feels that there are possibly fewer but we are of course waiting for those official figures and it's not just these protests against the pension reforms that have been walking front yesterday in paris there was of course the violent protests as did the file and by the firefighters firefighters who have been protesting for almost 7 months 7 months with the monies over the conditions of their work saying that they desperately needed to have a massive recruitment drive they wanted an increase in their salary and they wanted their profession to be labeled as a risky profession which is the same as the police 7 with the idea that then they'd be able to get
12:12 pm
a premium to do would they do as i mentioned those scenes in paris yesterday turned violent so there is a general malaise here and fronts amongst a range of sectors going from the public transport little kids right the way up to those who work in the justice system and teaches inductors to this general malays over a lot of the reforms that have been brought in by the my current administration and the reality is while this protest today may be less supported in terms of boots on the ground this is the malays is going to continue and it's unlikely that these protests are going to end anytime soon. the u.s. secretary of state has arrived in london to meet britain's prime minister comes relations a marred by the u.k.'s perceived non-cooperation with the probe into american financier jeffrey epstein death and washington's refusal to extradite a british teen suspected killer the wife of a u.s.
12:13 pm
intelligence official that is donald quarter looks at how the 2 states still always seem to find common ground on issues that threaten their political establishment. the u.s. and u.k. have long been close allies but sometimes even friends have their falling outs u.s. courts are still investigating the circumstances of multi-millionaire pedophile jeffrey epstein's mysterious death and unfortunately his former friend prince andrew has been less than receptive to prosecutors so let me say that the southern district of new york and the f.b.i. have contacted prince andrew's attorneys and requested to interview present prince andrew and today. prince andrew has provided 0 cooperation lawyers and journalists were quick to phone in after pleading with the prince to aid the investigation but to no avail despite the value and or gave to cooperate just several months ago i continue to unequivocally regrets my ill judged association
12:14 pm
with geoffrey epstein of course i'm willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigation if required the prince's refusal gave the us a taste of how u.k. officials felt in august of last year when british teen harry dunn was killed by a car following the death of heavy down in north hampton the come prosecution service has today although i still tend to chip police to charge and cyclonus with causing death by dangerous driving when the u.k. asked for her extradition in accordance with its agreement with the us the request was flat out denied the united states has a strong law enforcement relationship with the u.k. and in particular a strong track record or close cooperation on extradition matters however under the circumstances of this case we strongly believe that an extradition request would be highly inappropriate that track record didn't stop the stab in the back felt across great britain the prime minister boris johnson labeled it
12:15 pm
a denial of justice and once again friendship between the u.k. and us had a damper put on it by a failure to cooperate but does that mean they're fresh. ship doesn't come in handy when it's most needed far from it julian a songes whistle blowing was embarrassing enough for the countries to find a common enemy his lawyers claim extradition to the u.s. for a political offense would be illegal but london and washington have agreed to divide and conquer a songes hearing and get it done with asap so while the 2 powers might be ready to push each other's buttons whenever they can get away with it on issues that threaten the political establishment it seems they see eye to eye the fact of the matter is it's a one way abusive relationship the british bend over backwards to keep the american sappy but the americans are prepared to make any effort whatsoever to keep the british appy just about sums up the relationship really you know they all it's really to explore this woman the run of the bunch a cyclist but they're not going to do it they claim diplomatic immunity which is
12:16 pm
rather all because she didn't have diplomatic immunity issues she was an ordinary citizen but i think over time of course this begins to grate on the british public as they really laws than an actual fact they have been treated in very cavalier fashion and britain despite its love hate relationship with the us is definitely the the subordinate paul and of ultimately of course that's not the that will have to be changed but it's going to be an uphill struggle. a mockery on c.n.n. of donald trump support it could backfire all the details on that with very short break. you know world of big partisan. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than
12:17 pm
ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the show. passed each of its targets for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. anyone else seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our disdain comes to educate. and indeed from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. with.
12:18 pm
welcome back participants in a c.n.n. poll discussion have mocked supporters of donald trump questioning their intellectual abilities however critics think that may backfire and boost the president's popularity artie's a deeper trying to has the story. if i told you about massive favors for donald trump on the part of c.n.n. or no way hillary clinton you'd probably say what on earth is this guy talking about now i haven't gone nuts remember this choice of words by the lady that everyone once thought was on the white house doorstep to just be grossly generalistic. you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket
12:19 pm
of deplorable zx. and then about half the country voted for trump and you know where the electoral vote magic let him something tells me you've heard a 1000 times it was because of this man oh yeah admitting you did the person you loathe a favor by saying something stupid and disgusting must be tough anyway i did also mention a favor by c.n.n. . donald trump couldn't find ukraine on a map if you had the letter you and a picture of an actual physical cranes next to it and the ministration defined by ignorance of the world and so that was while the guests were talking about my pump and his recent interview behavior but the conversation switched to donald trump's supporters the credulous boomer rube demo that backstop will trump like one online piece tunnel said it took this c.n.n. panel just 80 seconds to show what they really think of trump voters don't trust
12:20 pm
a smart one and they're all you know you're a leader sort of your geography you know in other countries all those lives on the map. that wasn't it. you want to get hold of him so. now his goods are right you know that was a good what i needed that right none of these people are running for the white house like mrs clinton was but that's quite a popular weekend t.v. news show and in terms of style and language well in her footsteps although it has yet to serve as an actual favor or the arrogance the dismissiveness the smug cackling the accents if donald trump wins reelection this year i'll remember this brief c.n.n. segment late one saturday night in january as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened if you want to give people a reason to vote trump as
12:21 pm
a screw you to the media keep airing sigman slike these this is why trump won and will win again. this brings me to remind you about something else a few painful back to earth moments from 2016 that's a while ago. tuesday night was the culmination of one of the biggest media failures in many years there are many questions about what the pollsters the pundits and many journalists may have missed i think we missed the overarching story to a large extent and that is a failure this was a collective failure but i know that some of you watching right now are having a very hard time trusting this channel called donald trump many months ago a middle finger to the establishment in this crime will and his voters gave the big middle finger last night so the bottom line is there are lessons to be learned if we are live willing to learn them simply saying it back then now does it make
12:22 pm
a difference now it was mockery it wasn't necessarily someone expressing an opinion don lemon is not known as a comedian if he's an opinion journalist then fine but there's a difference between expressing an opinion with respect and and actually mocking literally more than half the country this network itself admits it's its own bias sort of a total exposure of the bias that we experience here in our media in the united states this isn't something that just conservatives have been saying there is proof now this is the media exposing themselves when hillary's called trump supporters a basket of deplorable zx this will play to the president's favor no doubt about that this will work to deepen and broaden his base and this will work to further discredit the media that has already discredited themselves largely where the president is concerned. after a backlash the c.n.n.
12:23 pm
show's host don lemon apologized claiming he didn't catch everything that had been said is also clarified that he was laughing at the joke and not of any group of people. r.t. has spoken to the families of 3 palestinian teenagers allegedly killed by israeli forces last week near the gaza border where the tips rejected israel's claim that the teenagers posed a threat. my son mohammed was a smart kid at school there ever since he was a child as a social he was doing really well in high school and taking english classes and preparing for college that was his ambition yeah i saw i would look like they're going to interview them with my blow up his hands wouldn't know what to do with what is a kid has never even seen a grenade meanwhile israel says its military forces spotted the green breaching the security border fence the israel defense forces statement that the teenagers started launching explosive devices out the troops forcing them to open fire more
12:24 pm
than 2000 civilians have died during israeli military operations in gaza according to the u.n. however relatives of the palestinian teenagers say they want their bodies back to make sure that they're actually dead. bodies they said he was arrested like i would understand that he would come back to us after a while and if he got killed i would want to know at least done about it and i want is a body returned in that case because my son is not part of any faction so there is no need to keep his body like that he is a school student and the israelis know this and every relevant committee like the very little history and human rights groups and these various stories tell us something about my son and his friends if their life and not just to ease my heart . thanks for joining us here on r.t. international and if you have anything to about any of our stories do get in touch by following us on social media we're back at the top of the hour to see them.

readings and salutation. the end is near my friends the end is near for many of us who have spent time in the urban jungles of los angeles or new york city we know that familiar phrase well up during it preached to the crowds of many a times square hollywood boulevard 2 in the morning by some mad bearded street prophet adorned in an old sandwich board the end is near but today far away from the club crowds tourist traps in the alley be power billboards a group of serious individuals with serious jobs who make up a very serious nonprofit organization the bulletin of the atomic scientists are also announcing that yes indeed the end is near and this announcement isn't being made on a street corner standing upon a wooden apple box no it was broadcast to the world from the national press club

here in washington d.c. in the form of the bulletins now famous doomsday clock which of the nation reports has since its inception in 1987 served as a warning to the world about the perilous state we all live in thanks to the creation and deployment of nuclear weapons and now that clock is sitting just 100 seconds to midnight 100 seconds in a press release the bulletin explained why the hands on the clock now sit 100 seconds away from oblivion stating humanity continues to face 2 simultaneous existential dangers nuclear war and climate change that are compounded by a threat multiplier cyber enabled information warfare that undercuts society's ability to respond the international security situation is dire not just because these threats exist but because world leaders have allowed the international political infrastructure for managing them to erode. so today my friends as we said so. perilously close to the edge i think it's time we explore not only how we got
