described it as a humiliating proposal which fails to respect the basic rights of posting. my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. 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 proves wrong 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 talking about would lead to the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. i'm awkward abbas said on sound very valid he will now suspend all ties with the united states and israel the release of the plan
1:04 pm
triggered protests in parts of the west bank with militants in the gases strip firing rockets and mortar rounds israel scores of demonstrators also burned tires to voice their anger at the u.s. proposal. ministrations recognition of jerusalem as israel's on divided capital is the 1st nonstarter for the palestinians who want east jerusalem to be their future capital israel would also control palestine's borders its guys and also the flow of goods in and the fledgling state would not be allowed its own military and israel would have the right to carry out its security operations there palestine would also be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior is really approval but it would get the $50000000000.00 in an aid package now the state of palestine would consist of a posh work of areas in the west bank and gaza currently cut off from one another

let's go through it now they would according to the plan be connected by a road tunnel to bridges their tunnels the bridges here on the road just linking it all to gather most have yet to be built under the proposed deal a palestinian state would be given a capital in abu dis which is east jerusalem and are a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city hall asli or spoke with some of the residents there. 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 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
1:06 pm
a capital. structure. our capital of palestine. or the people who are is just sort of start everybody think it's. you know it's. one of the village in the town and we believe his 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 peace but they have to give us what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to. be says he doesn't give to us who take 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
1:07 pm
conflict to 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. abilities or rights groups to have expressed serious concern over many of washington's proposals. there because that has been happening i was going to see a display as that is going to enable. and able to actually act it's a landstuhl annex more which is biased getting an editorial and. thousands of palestinians makes a shoe is. is a violation of international law and to be american administration is saying that's ok 'd you guys go ahead and that's that's the major roads out of this land is
1:08 pm
completely one sided where is that i mean voice where does that put us going to start where 'd where or what are the this is being opposed to that going to that one side it might have obesity the israeli government that it's up to 2 i will. post it is on a day to day basis we see the guy in the office going to the nation and out of an equality and injustice that they have been through and historically and they are wrong on a day to day basis but the united states already declared war on the international criminal court over its investigation to afghanistan its examination of the situation in palestine its put all these conditions you know to. save the negotiations that are clearly meant as has all their actions over the past 3 years meant to produce a palace to the rejection that would pave the way for israeli fixation that 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 or
1:09 pm
a policy 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. the u.k. has finally bit its for a while to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block and an extended period of all people following the historic referendum back in 2060 britain's new beginnings are not that with all it's almost certain to donal quarter not breaks down. know 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
1:10 pm
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 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 alone months 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
1:11 pm
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 start now after we lived through your book you want to write really appreciate your well. i'm very excited for a future in 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 cut that it's good if you try to be very productive. similar to what we have you.
1:12 pm
know 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. 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 sellout trade deal with general trump. was foreign secretary he embarrassed this country on his prime minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell it off
1:13 pm
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. marks the spot for brags that booty we've been getting a lot reaction to this story we heard from former deputy mayor of london roger evans and also international forester julian mullins on what might lie ahead for post breaks in britain. disentangling ourselves from the european union will be a long and time consuming problem because when the european union issued regulations they had direct a thick and instead of just letting them be regulations in order to do sky's how much we were ruled by the commercial we enacted those regulations verbatim as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're the poor
1:14 pm
parliamentary consul 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 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 big story of the week the coronavirus and it's not claimed its 1st victim outside of china that is
1:15 pm
a chinese national in the philippines on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency but made a point of commending china's efforts to combat the spread of the disease. this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china. on the contrary douglas continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak the world health organization also stressed the country should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus. has been looking into that aspect of the crisis borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing sero 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
1:16 pm
japan. in the contest of deadliest bugs the new coronavirus doesn't even come close to the or old familiar flu but tables turn 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 baggage 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said is she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't traveled or we've been back to a certain amount of time i had one friend that
1:17 pm
a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose are you through china are you chinese has become a frequent question faced by canadians of asian descent chinese school students 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 headlines saying yellow alert and yellow peril and the internet. did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to read this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just seen just picked 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
1:18 pm
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 in this is a country and killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and puns 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's very away from us it's 2020 we should hope that our children wouldn't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern and calls 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
1:19 pm
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 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 herat now 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 70 some 800 people
1:20 pm
a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher but because we see them on the day to day window internalize those as miss right now and all of canada there have been 3 concerned cases of a chronic virus the odds of someone actually catching it are very very low and i 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 a look back at the latest demonstrations in the french capital where i must wrongly by firefighters turned violent some of the most eye opening images from the past 4 years to the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by foreign person of those with.
1:21 pm
the dangers thinks. we dared to ask. in a world of big partners who mock us and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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.
1:22 pm
that start back in new europe where protests continue to grip france this week choose they thought since our firefighters were right in force and piracy and yet again at the send it into violent clashes with police. thank. god. 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 them free says her it's up by the government they say
1:23 pm
that they likely need 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 stones to cover it why are we protesting for 7 months because we've had no response from 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 able and physical attacks against them police colleagues get more because of the great a risk they face and we're demanding any increase also demanded that we are facing a shortage of power. so now that's partly because departments are having their budgets slashed. so in terms of attacks on firefighters there are no
1:24 pm
specific figures just for them but they're all figures for all emergency crews that's firefighters police officers and ambulance workers back in august of last year those attacks are said to reached a record high with many people claiming that there is a problem you are being firefighters with the police into 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 risk premium just like the police are paid they're out on the streets again in paris hoping that this time their 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 in what was
