a french fought fight to strike tons ugly empower us why riot police resorted to pick up some groups account of. 6 pm it's sunday so it's the weekend here on our national when we talk through the biggest headlines paulson days. let's start with this one the trumpet ministrations and long awaited middle east peace plan was released on tuesday provoking a firestorm of criticism the president of the palestinian authority that's mahmoud abbas described it as a humiliating proposal which fails to respect the basic rights of palestinians.

my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risk of palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel is taking a giant step toward peace it's a great plan for israel it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done through israel i'm not surprised. dear friends we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu to cool the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century. 1000 times no to this proposal. on saturday that he will now suspend all ties with both the united states and does throw the release of the plan also a trick of protests in parts of the west bank with clashes breaking out near the

bay tel settlement schools all the demonstrators burn tires to voice that anger the u.s. proposal. trumps recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital is the 1st nonstarter for the palestinians who want occupied east jerusalem to be their future capital israel would also control palestine's borders skies and the flow of goods in and out the fledgling state would be allowed its own military and israel would have the right to carry out security operations that palestine would also be barred from security all diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package the state of palestine would consist of parts of the west bank and gaza currently cut off from one another they would be connected by roads tunnels and bridges shown here on the map in the darker green lines most of them have yet to be built for example this tunnel hit the west bank gaza one under

the proposed deal of the palestinian state would be given a captive in this which is an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem pulis list spoke with some of the residents. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of abu dis on the outskirts of east jerusalem that the american president who wants the future capital of a palestinian state to be now not only has the issue divided israelis and palestinians but as you can see by the security barrier it's also divided palestinians from palestinians so on this side you have some of east jerusalem on the other side you have the rest of it and it's anyone's guess how a city like this well if a function as a capital. structure. or capital of palestine. or the people who are is just sort of start everybody think it's.
10:05 am
you know it's. one of the village in the town and we believe a 07 is a capital this is the parliament building here in abu dis now it's closed and it doesn't look like much but this is where presumably a future parliament will function from when trump says that this is a win win situation for both palestinians and israelis well it seems he's being cynical at best about acing and be able to want to make beasts but they have to give us what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give any think. this is he doesn't give us from us most of our lands they have to hear our voice i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict together say what we want to hear and the people here so want be uprising here don't be upset that key to the city of abu dis but when inhabitants here themselves are pessimistic as to the promise that it unlocks it's hard to understand why president

trump is putting so much faith in it. r.t. . rights groups to have expressed serious concern over many of the trumpet proposals. we all vocals there because that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill is that there is going to enable. and able to actually act in landstuhl and acts more which is biased getting into 3. thousands of palestinians makes a shoe is. is a violation of the national law and to be american administration is saying that's ok 'd you go ahead with it and that's the major roads out of this land is completely one sided where is the biased and you know voice where is the palestinians down where where where are they this is being opposed to their own about a one sided mad obesity the israeli government that is out it's up to. us it's what
10:07 am
we work with biased and it's on a day to day basis we see the guy who built this kind of a nation out of their quality and injustices that they have been through and historically and they are wrong on a day to day basis with the united states already declared war on the international criminal court over its investigation to afghanistan it's examination of the situation in palestine it's put all these conditions you know to. the negotiations that are clearly meant as has all their actions over the past 3 years meant to produce a palestinian rejection that would pave the way for israeli fixation the reality here is the united states national criminal court plays a critical role quite literally as a court of last resort in a case like this repulse find where there has been impunity where israel has not held virtually anyone of significance to account for serious human rights abuses over decades and the policies have been the same. now the big story the u.k.
10:08 am
has finally bit its fire while to the year and bringing to an ad the west side of curing and the block count and extended period of people following that historic referendum back in 26 states but britain's new beginnings all without on subtlety as donna quarter explains. no it's not a late new year's celebration it's the u.k. setting sail from the e.u. after 47 years of being docked they're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future so working with you pays to chandra's you in your seats put your flags away you know anything a conflicted brussels bids them farewell you will be missed especially by european bureaucrats when it comes to london's money going into their coffers on the other
10:09 am
hand westminster has been such a nuisance lately it could be just goodbye and good riddance almost half a century of the united kingdom's membership in the european union is over we want to have the best possible relationship with the united kingdom but it will never be as good as membership that could mean after the 11 months transitional period the u.k. finds itself in rough waters stranded at sea with no trade agreements unless something can be ironed out before 2021 when they'll be alignment we will not be a rule to go we will not be in the single markets and we will not be in the customs union and we will do this by the end of the year so how are things going aboard britain's flagship well half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want finally the country actually got together got on here and started now after we lived through it did not really want to write
10:10 am
a review. i'm very excited for our future and so you were there to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy very patriotic it's a real great failing and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future. stores in the end but a beginning the e.u. has evolved over 50 years unit got rich and the middle suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doom voyage for people to realize that if. we would because of that it's good if you try to be very productive people make you feel. similar to what we have to you. don't we will be worse off but see the u.k. is. it's just really are is that some are even considering mutiny so angry they might abandon ship should the u.k.
10:11 am
government continue to deny scotland's right to choose we may reach the point where this issue does have to be tasty i am not ruling that we must focus firmly on building and winning the political case for independence persuaded to climb aboard with concessions northern ireland is watching events closely while naysayers have dared to suggest the captain is ready to surrender british sovereignty into washington's hands but the signs are that this government is prepared to sacrifice our country's interests and values for short term political advantage on a sell out trade deal with donald trump. was foreign secretary he embarrassed this country and his prime minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell itself when and if the u.k. find safe shore sometime somewhere it might be without the treasure it was once promised unless boris johnson finds his sea legs quickly x.
10:12 am
marks the spot for brags that booty we had for form a deck to have london fortune athens and international paris to gte and mullins on what might lie ahead for the post but separate. disentangling ourselves from the european union will be a long and time consuming problem because when the european union issued regulations they had direct effect and instead of just letting them be regulations in order to describe how much we were ruled by the commercial we enact those regulations verbatim as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're the poor parliamentary console is going to for over the coming months and years have to review dozens of statutes in order to change the law because if they don't it remains the law of the united kingdom because we've already got a relationship with the you
10:13 am
a lot of the material is in place here already so it's not like we're starting from scratch in the same way that the trade deal the e.u. did with canada was and there's quite a lot of the regulations mechanisms in place for deals around the world already i would anticipate that we probably won't want to change quite a lot of it actually we have to as my old boss the prime minister was saying look forward bring the country back together and work on making this a success over the next year in the years to come. to another story that's got a lot of attention the corona virus outbreak has now claimed its fast victim outside of china a chinese national in the philippines on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency but made a specific point of commending china's efforts to combat the spread of the disease . this declaration is not
10:14 am
a vote of no confidence in china. on the contrary doug continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak the world health organization also stressed that countries should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus are now looks at a spike in discrimination borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing seram virus which has infected hundreds in china has now reached the united states villages have started to physically block themselves off from the capital and new cases have been confirmed around the world including germany and japan. in the contest of deadliest bugs the new coronavirus doesn't even come close to the
10:15 am
order from earlier flu but tables turned dramatically when it comes to the ability to strike fear in the masses and this fear is also bringing out the racist in some people with the chinese diaspora in canada among those at the receiving end our friend of mine has told the baby other day she dropped out her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't traveled or with the bat or a certain amount of time i had one friend a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose our usual china are you chinese has become a frequent question faced by canadians of asian descent chinese school students
10:16 am
whose parents have recently visited china have been urged to stay at home for a while in france a local newspaper published this on its front page headline saying yellow alert and yellow peril and the internet. did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to eat this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just seen just cooked the virus will die soon because it's made in china. i just bought a mask to protect myself from this corona virus but it's made in china so am i playing myself. when it disgustingly ironic that people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus and back in the colonial era white people literally the illnesses the country and
10:17 am
killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and adding to the mocking of the chinese cultural habits but the asian communities fighting back with a hash tag i am not a virus we're already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our class people away from minus 2020 what we should hope that our children won't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern of course for self quarantine are being. sounded all over the world by ordinary citizens and authorities alike such tactics against the virus have been made into a trend by big governments who have cut ties with china and by beijing itself which however says that the isolation measures are a necessary evil to stop the new disease in its tracks the purpose of the government is to put 2 lives and health of the people at the top of all priorities
10:18 am
therefore i have been personally directing and deploying the epidemic prevention and containment work this time now it seems it's a matter of whichever comes 1st either the virus or the hype around it has to stop but who knows whether the outbreak of racism will also be halted the reality is that the flu killed a lot more people people are comparing this to the sars outbreak sars killed 44 people in this country 41 people in my city alone the city of toronto are hit by cars last year. you know so the risk is much higher on the day to day life things 3500 people in canada die from the flu 7 to be some 800 people a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher that because we see them on the day to day window internalize those as risk right now and all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of a chronic virus the odds of someone actually catching it are very very low and i
10:19 am
think it's just fear based it's something that's unknown it's in the media there's a media frenzy so people have just reacted in a very illogical manner. still to come i look back at the latest demonstrations in the french capital where i'm maserati by firefighters to find out it will show you the best pictures from not of course give you the details in just 90 seconds. plus talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments until the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is when banks make malinvestment say when they go bad they bail out the mal investments and that cycle continues until
10:20 am
the economy goes bust and that's where our. what hope to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to going to be crossed. like the 4000000 people. i'm interested in all these and more. welcome back protests have continued to grip fronts this week on tuesday thousands
10:21 am
of firefighters were out in paris and yet again it descended into violent clashes with police. it's a risky profession and they want to be back she just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris with the firefighters have come from across france to try and get their forces heard up by the government they say that they support the need of a massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of old lives they receiving is increasing every year and they don't have the stuff to cover it why are we protesting for 7 months because we've had no response from
10:22 am
the administration or from the government there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk and this should be factored in a. security in 2010 to 2018 firefighters have faced an increase in the number of the will and physical attacks against them police colleagues get more because of the great a risk they face and we're demanding and increase also i did not get that we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly because departments on having that but. slashed. so in terms of attacks on the firefighters there are no specific figures just for them but they're all figures for all emergency crews those firefighters police officers and ambulance workers back in august of last year those attacks were said to reached a record high with many people claiming that there is a problem luring firefighters with the police into
10:23 am
a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or tags being recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached $23000.00 so that some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve to have a risk premium just like the police are paid they're out on the streets again in paris hoping that this time the voices will be heard by the government. r.t. in paris. exactly 77 years ago the bloodiest battle of world war 2 came to an end and was a major turning point in the conflict after nearly $200.00 days of fierce fighting the remaining nazis trapped in the city of stalin god surrendered to the red army we spoke to a veteran who was in the city about living on the edge of death during one of the wost battles in history. may show. cordoning can tell you the senate but of

hello and welcome to worlds apart albert einstein is often credited for defining insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result this is the argument behind the trumpet ministrations deal of the century aimed at hooting and to these really palestinian conflict is the american president indeed insane or perhaps a genius for breaking with the old framework but to discuss that i'm now joined by . former deputy israel's national security council has to ask you and it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. great to be here thanks for inviting me now when dealing with bombastic and self aggrandizing people it's a it's a natural tendency in all of us to you devalue or downplay the significance of what they're saying or what they're doing and both don't all chomp amban jim in that
10:30 am
media who are unbearably vain the times i think would agree on that but putting that aside don't you think that trump and he's team deserve a credit for at least trying something new yes i would give them credit for trying i would argue that there probably at least as far as trump is concerned are not. shall we say motivated by the purest of intentions one might say that you know purity and usually is not part of international relations that's true as well but as somebody who has been involved in previous peace attempts this one feels different mostly in negative ways and while i do agree that it is it is good to try and it is good to try something new and something else there needs to be some very.
