7:03 pm
row where i've seen a police plane after the police uniform has walked to the body and this is where they are realising he got something on it and this where they came to us they said you have to leave and you take. entire street and you need to do you leave the area i left the area earlier we got reaction from chris phillips former head of the u.k.'s national counter-terrorism security. unfortunately we don't have more police in your so i think it will become clear soon whether this person has been released from prison whether he has come back from syria and as a fighter that way we'll 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 protected because the chances are that this person is very well known easy. been convicted or been in trouble with the police for these
7:04 pm
little things and that's why they knew so much about it. by 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 described it as a humiliating proposal which fails to respect the basic rights of palestinians. my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has taken 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 for israel i'm not surprised. dear friends we heard
7:05 pm
a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about with a coup the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. mahmoud abbas has said on saturday that he will now 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 and mortar rounds at israel scores of demonstrators also burned tires to voice their anger at the u.s. proposal. i mean trump administration's recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital is the 1st nonstarter for palestinians who want east jerusalem it to be their future capital israel would also control palestine is borders skies and of the flow of goods in and out of a fledging state would not be allowed its own military and israel would have the right to carry out security operations there and palestine would also be barred
7:06 pm
from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package so the state of palestine would consist of a patchwork of areas in the west bank and gaza that are currently cut off from one another so you can see this map here they would according to the plan be connected by roads tunnels and bridges most of those have yet to be built under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a capital in an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem artie's policy clear spoke with some of the residents there. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of the outskirts of east jerusalem that the american president who once 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
7:07 pm
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. 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 a singer and be able to want to make peace but they have to give us what they give is that you know the fear he doesn't give anything to. is it isn't gives us from us
7:08 pm
most of what they have to hear our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict to go 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 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 as well have expressed serious concern over many washington's proposals. the ovals are because 'd that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill is that it's going to enable. and able to actually act in landstuhl and acts more which is biased getting a better theory and addicts. thousands of palestinians i makes a shoe is is on violation of the national law and to be american administration is
7:09 pm
saying that's ok we've got to go ahead at it and that's the major roads out of this that is completely one sided where is the biased and you know voice where does that put us in this town where where where are they at this is being opposed to their own about a one sided mad but obviously that is that any government that is out it's up to. us and what we went by is that it is on a day to day basis we see the guy who built this kind of a nation and out of an equality and injustice is that they have been ruined 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 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 the reality
7:10 pm
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. you can finally bid farewell to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block and an extended period of upheaval following the historic referendum back in 2016 and britain's new beginnings are not. without uncertainty as our he's done quarter breaks down. no it's not a late new year celebration it's the u.k. setting sail from the e.u.
7:11 pm
after 47 years of being docked they're going to wave goodbye i will look forward 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 a 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
7:12 pm
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've lived through you know you want to write. about. i'm very excited for a future sovereign so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write a migration policy but i replied 3 articles a real growing. and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future stores in the end but a beginning the e.u. has evolved with 50 is unit direction the lotus suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doomed voyage for people to realize that if. we would because of that it's good if you try to be very disruptive. similar to what we have you.
7:13 pm
know it's 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 right to cheat 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 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
7:14 pm
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. are we heard from former deputy mayor of london roger evans and international barrister julian mullins on what might lie ahead for post regular 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 it and instead of just letting them be regulations in order to describe how much we were ruled by the commercial we enacted those regulations of abating
7:15 pm
as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're the poor parliamentary consul is going to for over the coming months and as 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. will become as fears grow globally over the corona virus outbreak there is
7:16 pm
7:17 pm
to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. i welcome back to the weekly here on r t international and the corona virus outbreak has now claimed its 1st victim outside of china 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
7:18 pm
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 or to see what is done of 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 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
7:19 pm
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 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 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 do. cent chinese school students whose parents have recently visited china have been urged to stay at home for
7:20 pm
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 read this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just see it cooked the virus will die soon because it's made in china. i just mean to mask to protect myself from this corona virus but it's made in china so i won't claim myself. when the disgusting people are being racist towards asian people as they get to be called rose of virus and back in the colonial era people literally blew it. and killed thousands of
7:21 pm
indigenous people online jokes and adding to the mocking of the chinese cultural habits but the asian community is fighting back with a hash tag i am not a virus there are already experiencing subtle forms that backlash people not taking . every day i wake from minus 2020 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 therefore i have been personally directing and deploying the epidemic prevention
7:22 pm
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 $44.00 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 be 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
7:23 pm
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. protests continue to grip france this week on tuesday thousands of firefighters were out in paris said you know again the situation descended into violent clashes with police. thank. you yes. 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 with the firefighters have come from across france to try and get their food he says her it's up by the government they say
7:24 pm
that they support the need of massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of whole 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 oh no but there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk and this should be factored in a. security in 2010 to 2800 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 any increase also. demanded that we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly because departments are 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
7:25 pm
police offices and i believe it's working back in a buddhist of last year those attacks are said to just a right would like with many people claiming that there is a problem in new ring 5 scientists with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact they were some 110 this. so sore attacks being recorded every single day you know all the throughout the year those attacks reach to 23000 so that some of the reasons why the 5 like to say that they deserve to have a risk premium just like the police update they are on the streets again in paris hoping that this time they will be heard by the government show the t.v. ski ulti in paris. that has a for me in the weekly there's hardly backed up next hour with more on your watch martin.
