surveillance officers were obviously behind this man they obviously believe that he was he was like a quick dos attack at some stage or to be following someone around on a sunday afternoon is not absolutely normal and when they saw a moment react they reacted swiftly as well and and the sheer speed of what they were able to do shows that they must have been close to him and able to. put him to death very quickly because that you can't you can't deal with kid gloves with someone that has stuck to them and is trying to step to unfortunately we don't have more clues in units to put out but i think it will become clear soon whether this person has been released from prison where there he has come back from syria known as a fighter that way. we'll know more about him and why he was considered a real threat and that will be the time when perhaps the criminal justice system again will be held up as not protecting people because the chances are that this

person is very well known is either been convicted or been in trouble with the police for these sort of things and that's why they knew so much about it. and living on the trump administration's long awaited middle east peace plan was released on tuesday provoking a firestorm of criticism the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas describe it as a humiliating proposal which feels to respect the basic rights of policy. 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
4:06 pm
a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about woodley cool the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. said on saturday of how he will no suspend all ties with the united states and israel the release of the plan triggered protests in parts of the west bank with militants in the gaza strip firing rockets on water rugs israel scores of demonstrators also burned tires to voice their anger at the u.s. proposal. billy trump administration's recognition of dream is the most israel's undivided capital is the 1st nonstarter for the palestinians who want east jerusalem to be their future capital israel would also control palestinians borders skellies on the floor of goods in. the fledgling state it wouldn't be allowed its
4:07 pm
own military israel would have the right to carry out security operations there. would also be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package to the states of palestine would consist of a punch work of areas in the west bank and gaza that are currently cut off from one another let's go through them up here they would according to the plan be connected by roads tunnels and bridges bridges these parts here and of course this tunnel all the way to the. strip most of those have yet to be built though under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a couple abu dis and are of neighborhood just in the region of east jerusalem here paula says there spoke with some of the residents there let's take a look. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of abu dis on the outskirts of east
4:08 pm
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 a capital. structure. our capital of palestine. or the people who are is just. a start everybody think it's. 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
4:09 pm
cynical at best about acing and be able to want to make big but they have to give us you know what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything. besides he doesn't give us from us most of our legs because they have to hear our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict together 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. . rights groups to express serious concern over many of washington's proposals. the ovals there that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill is
4:10 pm
that it is going to enable. and able to actually act in landstuhl and acts more which is biased getting a better theory and to benefit. thousands of palestinians i makes a shoe is. is on violation of the national law and the american administration is saying that's ok you go ahead at 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 that this is being opposed to their own about a one sided mad obesity is that any government that these ideas. that we work with biased it is on a day to day basis we see a guy who built this kind of a nation and out of them at all and then just this is they have been 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
4:11 pm
situation in palestine its 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 palace to the 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 israel palestine 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. finally bit its for a while to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block down extended period of people following the historic referendum back in 26 thing and britain's new beginnings are not without all the uncertainty of quarter not perhaps the.
4:12 pm
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 would think you would in the future so working with you please sit down resume 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
4:13 pm
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 britain's flagship well half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want finally the country actually going to get going on here right now that we we've lived through you know you want to write. about. i'm very excited for our future over and so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy very patriotic it's a real joy and the captain's ready to steer them to
4:14 pm
a brighter future. stores in the end but a beginning the e.u. has voted with 50 is unit got rich and the local suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doomed voyage for people to realize that if the e.u. we would cover that it's good if you try to be very disruptive. similar to what we have. dogs 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 piece for independence persuaded to climb aboard with concessions northern ireland is watching events closely while naysayers
4:15 pm
have dared to suggest the captain is ready to surrender british sovereignty into washington's hands the signs are that this government is prepared to sacrifice our country's interests and values for short term political advantage on ascent i'll try to deal with donald trump. as 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. marks the spot for brags that booty we heard from a former deputy mayor of london roger evans international forester julian mullins on what might lie ahead for post brags that britain. disentangling ourselves from the european union will be
4:16 pm
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 enacted those regulations verbatim as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're poor 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 u. 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
4:17 pm
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 us to come. you're watching our international still to come as fears grow globally over the coronavirus break there is a reported spike in discrimination against chinese people we explore the after the break.
4:18 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development that only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. just approaching 90 minutes past the hour welcome back the corona virus outbreak
4:19 pm
has now claimed its 1st victim its side of china 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 that the city's. this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china on the contrary w.h.o. continues to have a confidence in china's. to control the outbreak. well the world health organization also stressed that country should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus r t z course at all of spain 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 seram virus which has infected hundreds in china has now reached the
4:20 pm
united states villages have started to physically block themselves off from the capital and need 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 order from merely a 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 me the other day she dropped on her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and the daycare teacher kept saying is she sick is she
4:21 pm
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 and i had one friend that 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 eat this things like the corona virus in china wouldn't happen just seen just cooked the virus will die soon because it's made in china.
4:22 pm
i just want to 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 are getting the coronavirus back in the colonial era white people literally in this is a country and 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 there are 80 experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking people's everyday away from minus 2020 we should hope that our children will 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
4:23 pm
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 the 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. 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
4:24 pm
3500 people in canada die from the flu. some 800 people 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 internalise those us miss right now and all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of the coronavirus 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. bring it to europe where protests continue to grip france this week on tuesday thousands of foreign fighters wrote in part yet again the situation descended into violent clashes with police. thank you. thank you.
4:25 pm
thank. you. it's a risky profession and they want to be recognized she just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris where the fire fighters have come from across france to try and get their food he says her it's up by the government they say 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 staff 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. securing 2010 to 2800
4:26 pm
firefighters have faced an increase and the number of verbal and physical attacks against them police colleagues get more because of the great a risk they face and we're demanding an increase also has demanded that we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly because departments on having their budgets slashed. so in terms of attacks oh no firefighters there are no specific figures just for them but they're all figures for all emergency crews that's fire fight is police offices and ambulance workers back in august of last year those attacks are said to with just a rash would like with many people claiming that there is a problem with new ring firefighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact they were some 110 s. so sore attacks being recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached $23000.00 so that's some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve
4:27 pm
to have risk premium just like the police pay their own the streets again in paris hoping that this time they will be heard by the government so the t.v. . in paris. well bob is where we leave our review of the week stories for now because in moments recrossing that some more great programs live from moscow every day this is r.t. trust. 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. welcome to max keiser financial survival guide. looking forward to a year that's without. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched as a report. in critiquing the system we of course we need to to criticize also the power of the companies and we need to criticize what corporate lawyers do but we also need to point our fingers at the states and have we have to really say look.
4:29 pm
states created the systems and states have the power to get rid of the system that's and even if they are colombia or peru or developing countries even if they are mali and what have you the states have the power to get rid of the system if they chose to do so but do they really want to governments that big business are often complicit. the vattenfall group for example had the chancellor's ear she even appointed its ex e.e.o. last just of sin to be her personal advisor on energy transition. most heads of state are ambivalent. not even you don't consider the fast and. long. i have is your to provide. for you cannot be easy to present to produce the items or the 3 out of. style of play such an easy to answer new.
