because. the president of the palestinian authority suspends all ties with the united states and israel in response to donald trump's middle east plan described by palestinians as the slap of the century also ahead. after 47 years the united kingdom marks the historic day cutting ties with the e.u. as bragg's it officially becomes into effect the road ahead for britain is still unclear. and a sweeping new study by academics at cambridge university finds that discontent about democracy in developed countries is at its highest level in 25 years with

american citizens among the least satisfied. people get more votes and then they lose that's not really democracy is that democracy 60 being taken out of the hands of the people who. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international and john thomas. the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas has said that he is suspending all ties with the united states and israel you know it's meant came out an emergency meeting of the arab league in cairo following the release on tuesday of the trumpet ministrations long awaited peace plan. we inform you here that we are cutting all relations with you and with america we have said the same thing to america including security relations. obviously the

palestinian president's remarks did not come as a surprise right from the start the palestinians have not been part of this so-called deal of the century and we've heard repeatedly the palestinians say that neither their aspirations nor the future of jerusalem is something that's up for sale. i won't accept their solution simply by saying that jerusalem will not be part of israel i will not accept it in any way and i won't have it written in my history or my country's history that i have sold jerusalem. we have also heard from the arab league that they adopt the position of palestine and this was at this emergency meeting that was held this often in saturday now over the past few days there have been protests at a number of palestinian cities. it. was god. there's also been a flare up in violence between the israeli army and hamas. there

are a number of points at the palestinians are not happy about 1st and foremost so they were excluded from the whole process also the point that at least 30 percent of what is today palestinian territories senshi the west bank is to be ceded over according to this plan to a future israel and in this respect we've already heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that is going to put forward at tomorrow's cabinet meeting and mixing the jordan valley and the west bank settlements the palestinians also hugely angry over the proposal of the future of jerusalem the plan talks about a future palestinian state with a capital in jerusalem but that capital is not in visit as the part of jerusalem where any of the muslim holy sites are and in fact there is some kind of understanding that it would be the city of abu dis which is on the outskirts of east jerusalem and i spent some time there and even the residents of up with these

say that there's no way that this small city can assume of as a future capital of a palestinian state however the united states doesn't seem to be too disturbed or too concerned with what the palestinians themselves think we heard this from the american ambassador to israel david friedman 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 post. over the next 4 years even if the palestinians rejected in the short run. the situation is hugely and the question is open as to what fun is next after we see now and hear the announcement of the cutting in time . we spoke to a number of experts from the wider region on the palestinian authority's cutting of ties with washington and israel. 1st of all we have to restrict ourselves because there are bus declared the ready few times in the past that he will cut the

relations with israel and he never did so so it might also be another holo clear asian yes with the right it states the cuts don't forget that the united states also closed their embassy in washington the palestinian representative in washington was expelled from washington but with israel the only question is really about the. security. relationship and it's time time will show if they are really being cut or it's another holo they can ration i'm not sure that he's going to cut all the relationship because he has a lot of also want to lose it leaves them in a very poor place maybe in the poorest things in the weakest point. when the entire world could couldn't care less and their frustration is really so understandable and so. innovative but i would say

because this is not a peace plan this is a human relations and they are expecting that a person are going to do something but i don't think that they were expecting the results i think this declaration of this. plan in the 1st place it came in such time because they want to save netanyahu in israel who's facing lots of charges against him and to save as well. in front of the impeachment in by the congress so i think they didn't look that much at the results or how that is going to be or the reaction of the international community and what might be happening for the palestinians or for the palestinian struggle i think now they are opening a new gates we. they don't think of one of them is going to be the palestinian resistance that is going to go on in this struggle and to you know

taking the whole area into a little bit more of violence which you know that as a result. but it's taken more than 3 years and a divided people up and down the nation but almost half a century the u.k. has finally been farewell to the european union at 11 pm in g.m.t. on friday the result of the biggest democratic vote in british history was finally enacted parts of the u.k. burst into celebration with leave of voters turning out in force while. tears apart even london parliament square there some were not enjoying the festivities north of the border and scotland candlelight vigils were held our colleagues in london were covering the historic event as it happened. so. it was

a bit louder. we're all still here only you know yeah it's like millennium bug nothing's happened yeah the big you all have. been campaigning this for this for your whole life i mean how do you feel very pleased very pleased i have to say i mean you know we're not allowed to be triumphalist and i don't want to be triumphalist but i am pleased you know finally from my point if you we got to the end of 3 and a half years with them frankly we've got a functioning parliament that's actually delivered a result and we've actually got a prime minister who's actually delivered a play which norman is a former lib minister how do you feel bearing in mind the lib dems were the revoke article 50 well i did not should be without particular policy of the site but i feel very worried for the country i mean. on this politics there are so you and she's absolutely straightforward in her views and she no doubt believes is the best thing for britain to believe the opposite why what's the problem what we want is

that we want to win a world of power blocks for this us over the china russia the e.u. and britain going over. small fish and very big sharks the whole economy is integrated absolutely and see you if we end up leaving a single market and having and how we trade barriers. to columnist. and address the nation a preacher accorded video message and he claimed we are at the start of a new era this is. but a beginning the e.u. has evolved over 50 years in a direction that. this country and that is a judgment you the people who confirmed the polls not once but twice. the head of the braggs a deadline on friday the union jack was quietly removed from the european council

building in brussels the e.u. flag was also taken down in britain's offices in the city blocks high representative for foreign affairs has stressed that the u.k. will remain a close partner of the e.u. a growing comment by the commission president. meanwhile the leader of the party has hailed what he called an historic moment. in niger your watch your whole life if you like although it was said to me it was impossible for wasting my time to go back to business that shows you actually the truth of it is there was a massive disconnect between how western society europe it is you how the country will be as you know what i did was to go in there and expose it so that i'm absolutely thrilled when you go from here to your political career and all the european union $26.00 days after the referendum i believed more for me what the government said and i kind of stepped back a bit from it all and it became a total mess but i came back in 2 years later

a policy that reset the agenda i am not going to run away i'm going to keep a very close watch on all of. this over the next year i will praise the promise of the rooftops if it is going well and the. if it's not this is a big history but it's not triumphalism it's celebration it was really. what really happened here is the people of the westminster establishment 10 years ago there was no building that would leave the european union but one of the leave the european union this was a grassroots campaign that succeeded so the real winner here is democracy and goodness me that is worth celebrating but i want to be run by a bunch of old men in the european commission but for like not really thank you thank you very much. the u.k. has now entered an 11 month transition period with the e.u. current arrangements will remain in place with trade talks set to start on the 3rd

of march a deal then has to be worked out by the last day of the year if an agreement is not reached and no extension is agreed upon the u.k. will leave without a deal probably boyko translates the polish political. british prime minister has been kind enough to answer such questions about transit in this video. this is the complete interview boris is a politician and a lie so let me try to answer those questions for you honestly. think my holiday well not immediately but do expect an extra serving of tipples a new sangria when you hit the costa del sol also you're going to have to go in the slow line. you know the one with all the people from the. countries like america but that won't happen until next year. there is british spuds

a still going to be growing big and proud but get out your pits folks because soon they'll be no one giant cheap. the way the instant the mob spreads. how good is it yeah probably well if the trade negotiations don't go well over the next 11 months the government will be panic selling my grannies to the highest bidder and want to make a quick buck or rupee or a lira whatever comes their way. so we're damned right it will some and he will be taken back from those pesky europeans and returned to its rightful owner is the attorney is and finally will brags that stop all the arguing about plagues that. way now is just 70000000 people alone on an island where one off is accused of being racist and the other half is accused of anything that country probably brags that day everyone. still to come in the

program twitter is in the spotlight once more for silencing an alternative news website on its platform that and much more after a break this is too much. of a. albert einstein is often credited with defining insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result this is essentially the argument behind the trumpet ministrations deal of the century aimed at putting an end to the israeli palestinian conflict. is the american president indeed insane or a genius for breaking with decades of fruitless mediation.

you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up. to dig deeper to hit the stories that made the stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome actually says r t international now one of the internet's most popular alternative news websites has had its twitter account suspended 0 hedge the financial and political side which had over half a 1000000 subscribers was accused of engaging in abuse and harassment 0 hedge says

their suspension was over accusations they revealed the personal details of a scientist from china and falsely claimed that he had created the corona virus as a biological weapon those claims emerged on the buzz feed a news site the author of the article later tweeted it was his piece which could have prompted twitter's decision 0 hedges 0 hedge denies all of the accusations although twitter recently published guidelines on how it deals with posts regarding the coronavirus those were not the rules of the company used to block a 0 hedge. we've launched a new dedicated search prompt to ensure that when you come to the service for information about the coronavirus you met with credible authoritative information 1st we do not permit platform manipulation and we encourage people to think before sharing or engaging in the liberated tends to undermine the public conversation are

we then to understand that we have now reached a point where the me gather enough information snohomish with abuse and harassment . and certainly competitors in the media the answer is yes in any case you have e-mail tweets a c.e.o. a check dosey who incidentally happens to follow 0 hedge twitter and facebook of course to dramatically increase their their censorship efforts in the last few weeks they have attacked a wide variety of sources that from venezuela iran for example. they're striking out more and more broadly and 0 heads is seizing the latest example of that increasingly sweeping effort. but i think of the merits of this individual case are really secondary because i mean the really important thing is the is the trend that shows that that is so when ever more aggressive it's had been attempts by social media. to do the bidding of governments and to

a limited forces that they regard as somehow disturbing and controversial counter to the official narrative i mean there's been a just a change in general attitude since 2016 when the intelligence agencies accused russia of using social media to manipulate. u.s. voter attitudes. with france in the midst of a massive backlash against pension reforms president micron has once again stirred anger this time by posing with a t. shirt denouncing police violence now the garment features a cat with a bandage over one eye supposedly after being hit with a so-called flash ball. that riot control weapon is banned for use by law enforcement in several european countries but french police actively deployed it during yellow vest demonstrations many protesters were severely injured and

a bit of a warning you may find the following pictures disturbing. us. thanks . to cut cut cut cut cut cut. we asked people in paris what they think about the president's photo opportunity. even though if you do prosecute if you just proved that our president is completely stupid it's sad to say that now we see him drowning in all these impossible excuses i don't know what's next he said that we have such a president he smiles and it seems to me that this is super insulting to all those who have lost their eyes to something it really. pretends as if there is nothing

wrong as if it doesn't concern him although he is to blame for all of this it seemed to me bordering on how to say it's a shame it's a shame he's there he's showing off in this place i would question myself more we have no confidence in the rule of law it cost us so much as long as they behave with us correctly will behave correctly with them sometimes they do such terrible things that we wonder where we all live. i think that a memo micron doesn't understand what is happening and does not think about things especially what it's like to be left alone i believe that since he is the head of state he has a certain responsibility. a major new study by academics in the u.k. has found that in developed countries popular discontent with democracy has reached its highest level in 25 years the report by cambridge university says americans are

among the least dissatisfied parties came up in comments. we're used to hearing that the usa is a cradle of democracy and in case you might forget they remind you at every opportunity trumps impeachment is no exception this is not a banana republic. it's the democratic republic. of the united states of america a moment when our democracy was gravely threatened embattled democracy being invaded by this by the by russia democrats accuse donald trump of using his political position for personal gain and thus corrupting the entire system trump shoots back at the dead. kratz are manipulating the constitution in order to go after him by proceeding with your invalid impeachment you are violating your oath of office your breaking your allegiance to the constitution and you are declaring open war on american democracy interestingly new data has been published by the u.k.'s cambridge university showing that among americans there's been

a dramatic decline in people's confidence in democracy we decided to talk to new yorkers and see why they might be losing faith in the founding fathers i feel most people are and misinformed more than anything and they need to understand that we don't live in a true democracy where you know specifically every vote counts directly we know it's a representative democracy writes people vote for things and then other things happen for other people when you know people get more votes and then they lose that's not it's not really democracy is it i do believe that within the system we need to do a better job of including everyone into the conversation and i also think that the current state of affairs is what makes people just really turned off. to supporting democracy as a whole you know the institutions which were set out with their i think right frame book are not being used or the loopholes are being exploited democracy sexy being taken out of the hands of the people it's in the hands of foot i would call it big money in corporations but it's not just americans according to the poll that was

conducted around the world there has been a decline in democratic values in countries like france and the u.k. people just don't feel they've got a voice anymore it seems that you have you just going to do the right thing anyway they have their own agenda to people on trusting politicians as much as you know there's a lot of groups and minorities not being made and you know democracy should be to serve everybody and in particular those who disadvantage if it's not serving a disadvantage then i don't think that democracy is working some of the parliaments in the world especially the a you know you are not listening to the people one thing on. sitting that is i think people need to have. information more education to realize when people think people should fight. for the people. but this points to a bigger question what those democracy actually mean now in theory it's supposed to

be the rule of the people but it seems like around the world in many different countries many feel like the people's will is not being acted and they are not happy about it. hard see new york. we discussed the story with investigative journalist dave lindorff he thinks that politicians are losing touch with what voters really want. i wouldn't say they're dissatisfied with democracy they're dissatisfied with the way our democracy is working these days that it has really lost its connection to the people all the money in the 'd political system incredible amounts of money billions of dollars to run for president are coming from corporations and rich people and the average person is cut out of the picture i think at least in the us. fortunately people are not saying we don't like democracy they're saying we want to moxie that works so it's not people are saying oh we need a dictator the vast majority of americans have been brought up on the notion that

people are supposed to run their own government and want to have a government that works for them but they're not able to get it. relations between russia and the us some might be going through one of their rockiest periods but there is hope of the ice can be broken and that's quite literally through sports that was the message america's new ambassador to russia gave while attending an ice hockey game on saturday in moscow john sullivan participated in the ceremonial puck drop to start the. game here's what he told r t and russia's news agency. they asked me about hockey diplomacy and it sounds. almost frivolous suit game. but it's something that americans and russians and canadians shermans and. we have in common we love this i use this is an opportunity just to upon my arrival to say look americans and russians have a lot in common and i love this game what's going on. right now so which an

opportunity for me to talk to rush the russian people about things that we have in common and we love to trade stories with hockey legends to. the 72 summit series at the 87 series between. canada and the soviet union and so it's great fun for me but it's also i think a useful way to see if you'll pardon me break the ice and start a conversation you know literally start a conversation about all of the interests and shared values that we have americans and russians there's a female back for more news of top the hour this is our 2 trash.

the russian state television propaganda machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an information war. that can change the world tomorrow. we send out you tube videos the sleepless night shift today is the longest network. pusher brushes russia russia russia today is. believed to be there which means russia to live and i really have to join to see you then on r g. 4 are so proud and still. are just getting the number.

a welcome thing. thank you. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich. but you going to be pressed to see what the before 3 in the morning can't be good for i'm interested always in the waters of my house. question all. kinds of financial survival john today was all about money laundering 1st to visit this cash into 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in europe something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these
