it. was. donald trump's deal of the century sparked outrage and protests across the middle east with claims the proposed roadmap to end the israeli palestinian conflict only faces tired of the meanwhile the palestinian leaderships burns transplant calling it the slap of the century the u.s. 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. and the european parliament gives final approval for the u.k. exit from the e.u. as british any peace attempt that emotional final session.

hello you're watching r.t. international i'm rosana lockwood welcome to the program. it was meant to be donald trump's a failsafe plan to bring peace to the middle east yet just a day after he lifted the lid on his so-called deal of the century outrage among arab nations is prompting fears of a new into father against israel hundreds have thrown in 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 or the trump insists it's a win win solution. my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides. was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security it was going to have

a. it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. a transplant for jerusalem to be israel's undivided capital is already a nonstarter for palestine israel would also get ultimate control over security and most palestinian resources palestine would stay fully demilitarized and israel could destroy any facility for production of banned weapons palestine would be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package. for palestine would consist of the west bank and gaza almost entirely separated from each other they would be connected by roads represented by lines on this map and tunnels and bridges shown a circles most of which have yet to be built the us 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. well the palestinian state would get a capital on the outskirts of east jerusalem has more details but 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 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 a 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 of and 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 exclusion plan a minute usurping palestinian learned and killing the 2 state solution jerusalem is 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 plan 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 what a 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 assist the proposals the united kingdom 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 borders now 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 israeli flag and also pictures obviously 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 is 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 city of jerusalem the west bank and gaza out of security concerns we spoke to moustapha barghouti head of the palestinian national initiative party and dr morton high kid of the big insight about santa barbara law and university and they give us the very different reactions to the deal. it's not even an american plan it's actually an israeli written plan an american envelope the reality is killing the

possibility of 2 state solution by substituting the potential palestinian state with clusters of ghettos panel stands as you can see in the map that mr trump has published it creates a situation of diminishing of one nation over another that ignores 1st of all historical facts ignores the rights of the palestinian people ignores the emotional feeling of all the people in this region so in my opinion it's an act of recklessness and it cannot continue and palestinians will never accept it we cannot accept to be slaves of a system of occupation and that is the exact description of what apartheid look historically joslyn was never any capital of any arab islamic state so why do they need joe wilson and why can they have a mullah or while our bodies you know the parliament of the palestinians has all of the built in our bodies so why shouldn't our bodies be their capital if they want

the capital but they want joslyn only to extract the jewish heart and this is why they want to destroy israel if they said they want to establish a palestinian state. of israel let me show you something which you should usually don't show the palestinians have and this is the p.l.o. flag they want to establish a palestinian state philistine on the whole and in this is israel the hollies of from the river to the sea in this is the p.l.o. flag not hamas even and this is what i would as a means when he talks about a palestinian state nothing less than this that would accept and this is actually and they deleting israel all together and this is why they don't accept any deal not from obama not from bush not on clinton not from dump not from or just for nobody there. unless they get the whole going to the us jules should go to the old washer. now there were some out of the ordinary scenes today of the european

parliament as british every piece attended their final ever session the u.k. finally leaving the e.u. on friday evening european parliamentarians on wednesday approved the withdrawal agreement and the leader of the brics it party nigel farage had this last word for his e.u. colleagues. so this is the final chapter at the end of the roche a 47 year political experiment we use our for europe we just hate the european union it's as simple as that well nigel for raj is well he tends to be loved and loathed in equal measure depending on who you speak to he certainly wasn't going to let his final address to the european parliament as leader of the breaks that party of the house that he's he sat in for a number of years as an m.e.p. he wasn't going to let that go by without making a bit of a scene or you want to go national for what we're going to wave goodbye i will look

forward in the future so working with you please sit down resume your seats put your slags away you're leaving and take them with you if you are leaving now and i will just last week david sorely who's the president of the european parliament had ruled that flags inside the chamber were going to be prohibited he said they fell foul of current laws that already existed banning banas in the chamber as well nigel frosh at the time he said well this just goes to show that the european parliament the european institutions want to suppress the rights of member states so they waive those flags as they waved goodbye to the european parliament on wednesday. the divorce deal though is now finalized the withdrawal agreement that will see the united kingdom leave the european union on both friday at midnight brussels time that was ratified by pace they

said that that would go ahead they pushed through there and european commission president was also in the chamber she said that talks on the future relationship between the united kingdom and the european union well they would. be dependent on the united kingdom agreeing to regulatory alignment when it comes to things like workers' rights when it comes to things like the environment when it comes to standards on on social protections that they would all have to be respected by the u.k. but that there was a good deal on the table for them from the european side we are considering a free trade agreement with 0 tariffs and 0 quotas this would be unique no other free trade agreement offers such an access to our single market but the precondition is. that european and british businesses

continue to compete on a level playing field. we will certainly not take showers our companies to unfair competition. talks on the deal get underway on the 3rd of march and it could well well put the u.k. it is a hard place position because if they accept regulatory alignment with the european union that puts at risk a trade deal with the united states now if the u.k. was to accept the united states the standards on certain things that the e.u. deal would be off the table as it stands the u.k. leaves the european union by at midnight brussels time on friday of this week they will then enter into a transition period which at the moment is set to run until the 1st of january 2021 but that's on the proviso that they get a deal done and at the moment world that seeming hopeful at best that

a deal would be done in time and it may well fall to that transition period being extended if you think that breaks it is done and dusted all be over on friday no chance. now france is in the grip of another week of protests against the government planned pension reforms civil servant and trade unions are back on the streets of paris this wednesday and it comes just a day after the capital was rocked by scenes of violence between the police and protesting firefighters so different he picks up this story. this protest 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 across the rest of france this is a momentum now to show that there are still people who are incredibly unhappy with those pension reforms they have been concessions given to the strikers in the pit.

yes it is over the last few weeks including the fine that the government has removed the age of retirement which was going to be crease to $64.00 that increase of 2 years he's taken that out of the document it was just the right to put it back in business you need to come up with of the solutions in the meantime but that document ties been presented to the council 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 of the work is that the whole idea of this pension reform was to manage foody 2 different systems down to the universal system and to make it to 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 come down the last protests we were right at the nationwide protest was on friday official figures suggest that there were around 31000 people who 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 rocking fronts yesterday in paris that was of course the violent protest ended up violence by the firefighters firefight is could have been protesting for a while most 7 months 7 months with bunny's over the conditions that they were saying that they desperately needed so you have. massive recruitment drive they

want to increase in their salary and they will do their profession to be labeled as a risky profession which is the same as the police with the idea that then they'd be able to get a premium for the work that they do you as i mentioned those scenes in paris yesterday turned violent so there is a general malaise here in france amongst a range of sect is going from the public transport will get this right the way up to those who work in the justice system and teaches in doctors 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. a recent segment on c.n.n. strongly mocking supporters of donald trump could backfire say critics the details

on that and more after this short break. and the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one topic every week well tax student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on how to. what politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so do you want to be president and should. do so want to.

have to go through the process this is what the 3 of them will be good. interested in the waters of. the u.s. secretary of state has arrived in london to meet britain's prime minister and it comes as relations a mom by the case proceeds known cooperation with the private american finance you jeffrey epstein's death and washington's refusal to extradite to british suspected killer the want to the u.s. intelligence official bought off east on a quarter looks at how the 2 states 2 oystein to find common ground on issues that threaten the 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 him 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. continue to unequivocally regrets my ill judged association with jeffrey 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 chair the crown prosecution service has today authorized northampton chip police to charge and cyclonus with causing death by dangerous driving when the u.k. asked for 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 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 their friendship 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 us 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 facts of the messages it's a one way abusive relationship the british bend over backwards to keep the americans happy but the americans all prepared to make any effort whatsoever to keep the british at the just about sums up the relationship really you know they all really so let's vote this will do rather the motion. list but they're not going to do it the diplomatic community which is rather odd because she 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 realize that it actually

being treated in very cavalier fashion and britain despite its love hate relationship with the u.s. is definitely the least the the subordinate part of and of ultimately of course that's not the that will have to be changed but it's going to be an uphill struggle . for the russian president has pardoned an israeli woman who was sentenced to 7 and a half years in jail for drug smuggling nama is sahar was arrested while transiting at a moscow airport to tel aviv that's after she was found to be in possession of a small amount of cannabis israeli prime minister has thanks for admitting for his pardon on thursday it's a horrible flight back to israel and benjamin netanyahu is playing in the pm will be on a working visit to moscow. and of news this hour participants in a c.n.n. panel 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 any potential has this 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 of deplorable zx. and then about half the country voted for trump and you know where the electoral vote magic led him something tells. 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 mike them pale 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 title said it took this c.n.n. panel just 80 seconds to show what they really think of trump voters don't trust a smart one and they're all you know you know lead us to your geography you know in other countries all those lives on the map. that wasn't it a smart guy who is getting a 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 is the perfect encapsulation for why it happened if you want to give people a reason to vote trump as a screw you to the media keep airing sigman it's like these this is why drum one and we'll 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 and his voters gave the big middle finger last night so the bottom line is there are lessons to be learned if we're live willing to learn them simply saying it back then now does it make 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. well after the bank crash the c.n.n. show's host don lemon apologized claiming he didn't catch everything that had been said and he's also clarified he was laughing at the joke not to any group of people . without his you know update from now will be back here in around 30 minutes time with more news from around the world we'll see you then.

what we're going to talk about here is the debt of 3 or because planet earth has a debt fear of approximately 3 to 4 times global g.d.p. which i think is between like 80 trillion so there's like you know almost 400 trillion now in debt it's the debt austere and it's has a profound impact on the 21st century. trade and investment have become magic spells to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chapter of a trade agreement as opposed to something very different but won't win investment
