it. was. donald trump's a deal of the century sparks outrage and protests across the middle east with claims proposed roadmap to end the israeli palestinian conflict only favors tel aviv. meanwhile the palestinian leadership spurns trump's plan calling it the slap of the century the u.s. ambassador to israel has made it clear 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 open for them for 4 years that's what we want. the european parliament gives final approval for the u.k. to exit from the e.u. as british any peace attempt at emotional final session.

you're watching international i'm rosa lockwood welcome to the program. was meant to be donald trump's fail safe plan to bring peace to the middle east yet just after 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 intifada against israel hundreds of throng 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. it was was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to

israel's security it was going to have the. it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. a transplant for jerusalem to be israel's under fire i did capital is already a nonstarter for palestine israel would also get ultimate control over security and most palestinian resources and palestine would stay fully militarised while 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 girls almost entirely separated from each other they would be connected by roads represented by lines on this map and tunnels and bridges shown 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 for the palestinian state would get a capital on the outskirts of east jerusalem policy has more details. 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 the 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 me is wading position on major issues now we have heard from a number of states particularly turkey and iran this is an action plan aiming at 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 every of 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 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 a day of rage has been called for today by the palestinian leadership already yesterday in the run up to the announcement and the any hours that followed we did see protesters out on the streets of gaza and the west bank burning the american

israeli flag and also pictures of the israeli prime minister and the american president donald trump so no doubt we are on standby for scenes like you had 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 unless this even with out of the palestinians agreed to the deal he says that he can go ahead and do this so the frustration and disappointment and perhaps even the hatred on the streets of palestine and in many countries across the world here in the me jen we are witnessing this anger intensify and grow the u.s. embassy has been hit and 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 moore the hike from the big inside out center line university and they gave us the very different reactions to this. it's not even an american it's actually.

an american envelope the reality is the possibility of 2 state solution by substituting the potential for listing with. ghettos. as you can see in the map that mr trump has published it creates a situation of domination of one nation over another that ignores 1st of all historical facts ignores the rights of the palestinian people ignores the most. an unfeeling 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 also then 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 i will these 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 islam as i said they want to establish a palestinian state. of israel let me show you something which you usually don't show the palestinians have and this is the p.l.o. flag they want to establish a palestinian state philistine. this is israel from the river to the sea 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 there was 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 that will accept unless they get the whole country in us jews should go to hell or to russia. there were some out of the ordinary seems today the european parliament has british every piece attended their final ever session with the u.k. finally leave me you want 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. say this is a final chance at the end of the. a 47 year political experiment we use our europe we just take the european union it's as simple as that nigel for is loved and loathed in fairly equal measure depending on who you speak to and the party leader wasn't going to let his last chance to speak to the european parliament go well without making a bit of a scene in the chamber there you want to go national we're going to wave goodbye i

will look forward in the future to 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 just last week david's are sorely who's the president of the european parliament had ruled that flags inside the chamber were going to be beheaded he said they fell foul of current laws that already existed banning. in the chamber as well nigel farage at the time who 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 any peace 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 were . 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 cherubs 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 expose our companies to unfair competition for those talks on the deal starts on the 3rd of march that could well put the u.k. in quite a rock and a hard place situation between the european union on one side the united states on the other because they want lucrative trade deals with both of them however it's that regulatory alignment that could well be the sticking point if the u.k. accepts regulatory alignment with the european union they may well not get the trade deal with the united states that they want to get if they accept the standards of the united states that deal it sort of on the line in which the european union are offering well that could well be off the table what happens after friday at midnight brussels time is that the u.k.

and european union enter into a transition period in which they're supposed to thrash out a deal on how the future will look now as it stands that transition period will run until the 1st of january next year but really if you think a deal is going to be done by then that is well it's looking quite hopeful so anybody thinking that brags this is all going to be done dusted and finished with come friday at midnight brussels time you may have another thing coming. france is in the grip of another week of protests against the government's planned pension reforms civil servants and trade unions are back on the streets of paris on wednesday and it comes just a day after the capital was rocked by scenes of violence between the police and protesting firefighters shiela devinsky 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 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 they have been concessions given to the strike isn't the protest is over the last few weeks including the fine that the government has removed the age of retirement which was going to be increased to 60 for that increase of 2 years it's taken that out of the document it was just the right to put it back in business you needs to come up with of the solutions in the meantime but that document task being 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 and 2 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 is 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 out at the nationwide protest was on friday official figures suggest that there were around $31000.00 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. the pension reforms that have been rocking france yesterday in paris there was of course the violent protest ended up violence by the firefighters firefight is to

have been protesting for almost 7 months 7 months with ronnie's over the conditions of their work saying that they desperately need it so you 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 a premium for the wood that they do as i mentioned those scenes in paris yesterday turned violent so there is a general malaise here in france amongst a range of sectors 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 malaise over a lot of the reforms that have been brought in by the maclin 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. u.s. secretary of state has arrived in london to meet britain's prime minister and it comes as relations a model by the u.k.'s perceived known cooperation with the probe into american finance jeffrey epstein's death and washington's refusal to extradite a british teens suspected killer the wife of a u.s. intelligence official but artie's done a quarter looks at how the 2 states do always seem 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 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 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 u.s. 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 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 tonight 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 though 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 there for. ship doesn't come in handy when it's most needed far from it julian assange says whistleblowing 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 are happy just about sums up the relationship really you know they ought really to extradite this woman to run over the world a cyclist 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 in actual fact they are being treated in very cavalier fashion and britain despite its love hate relationship with the u.s. is definitely the the the subordinate partners and of ultimately of course that's not that 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 i saw her was arrested while transiting at a moscow airport to tell of eve that's after she was found to be in possession of a small amount of cannabis israeli prime minister has thanked glad to meet putin for his pardon and of that is a whole will fly back to israel on benjamin netanyahu plane the pm in moscow on a working visit. participants in a c.n.n. panel discussion have mocked supporters of donald trump questioning their intellectual abilities however critics think that may backfire boost the president's popularity. or 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 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 i think ministration defined by ignorance of the world and so that was while the guests were talking about my pump

ale and his recent interview behavior but the conversation switched to donald trump's supporters the credulous boomer rube demo that back home 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 they're they're all you know you're a leader of your geography you know in other countries all those lives on the map. that wasn't it. so you want to get hold of them so. his goods are 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 has a screw you to the media keep airing segments like 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 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 is 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 backlash the c.n.n. show's host don lemon apologized claiming he didn't catch everything that had been said and he also clarified that he was laughing at the joke i'm not as any group of people. soviet street is coming to life in one russian city local artist andre persian makes images more moving quite literally.

i compare all cities and nations with. if russia is a movie then the jeske is the best seat in this it. well that is your news update for now will be back hit with a roundup of the headlines in just over 30 minutes time. from donald trump in 2016 to 2020 there is part of the electorate that responds to anti-war anti interventionist rhetoric in fact. only help.

but the fact remains the establishment is to downplay and even demonize any candidate who questions orthodoxies is. what we're talking about here is the debt because planet earth has a. fear of approximately 3 to 4 times global g.d.p. which i think is like 80 trillion so there's like you know almost 400 trillion in debt it's the debt and it has a profound impact on the 21st century. so we're going underground 48 hours before the u.k. loses representation of the e.u.

ahead of us said you'll break that at the end of the year this is the u.n. security council meets to discuss libya 9 years after british bombardment of africa's most oil rich nation coming up in the show britain's ambassador to libya richard dalton what can be done to stop the fighting in the western libyan city of misrata and whether only gadhafi son safe the country. for a big bricks it may look is a failed but what was really behind the exit from the e.u. at the elizabeth tower we talked. about a love of history steeped in mysticism imperial power and 12. days going underground the 1st up to the most current berlin peace conference is what now for libya where battles. to be rage for the city of misrata joining me now is the british ambassador who was in charge when relations warmed ridgway in london and moammar gadhafi is richard dalton thanks so much for coming on to the cease fire

negotiated in moscow in tatters berlin a failure not surprisingly we're not even hearing about it in media in nature nations after or was it 9 years of the britain bombed libya it seriously to say that it's a failure but the powers that have interests in libya have got to get serious so you're a and egypt and russia who've been supporting after have got to call him to order and they have got to observe the arms embargo because without external infusions of weaponry this fighting can't continue so the un track remains the only way forward the security council meeting it must unite but not just unite in words which is what they've done in the past but actually in deeds but far from. a arms the u.n. mission in libya is not leaving countries taking part in the summit.
