just 2 days out of prison and primed to kill a suspected terrorist is shot and killed by police in london after stabbing 3 people and what authorities are probing as an islamist inspired attack. a peace plan that triggers violence accused of taking sides in the middle east as the palestinian authority has cut ties with washington and israel and protests break out of the west bank also ahead. the u.k. set sail from the e.u. on its post break that voyage but after 47 years of cooperation there are fears of economic storms and

a mutiny in scotland and northern ireland. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is art international and john thomas going to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. right a knife wielding suspected terrorist has been shot dead by police in south london authorities say 3 people were stabbed in this assault which happened on streatham high road the man now being named as on has been had reportedly been released from prison only days before after serving just half of his 3 years sentence for terror offenses. was

. there was a london metropolitan police say they are treating the incident as an islamist inspired terror attack 20 year old a man had been in prison for spreading extremist material it is believed he grabbed a knife from a shop before carrying out the frenzy to solve the perpetrator had been under armed police surveillance british prime minister boris johnson has thanked to the emergency services for responding to the incident and has expressed sympathy to those injured witnesses described what they saw. somebody said it looks like a suicide is. just going to. stick it will kill a total of them in the. city. to do. it then i'd like to show. that it was i don't. want

anything of the city but definitely not out there i've seen and probably a plain have police uniform has and walked to the body and this is where they are realizing he got something on it and this where they came to as they say you have to leave and you take trade inside street and he didn't even say area i left the area earlier we got reaction from chris phillips former head of the u.k.'s national counterterrorism security office. unfortunately we don't have more police in europe is that what i have but so i think it will become clear soon whether this person has been released from prison where there he has come back from syria and known as a fighter that way world will 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 this person is very well known easy. been convicted or been in trouble with the police for these little

things and that's why they knew so much about. the trumpet ministrations 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 falls to 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

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 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. proposed. taking a look at the troubled ministrations that recognition of jerusalem as. israel's undivided capital is the 1st nonstarter for the palestinians who want 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 not be allowed its own military and israel would have the right to carry out security operations there

and would also be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior israeli approval but it would get a 50000000000 dollar aid package for 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 if you take a look at that they would according to the plan be connected by roads and tunnels you can see mark there and also bridges marked here with the yellow or not yellow circle spots. most of those have yet to be built under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a capital in abu dis an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem or his boss lear 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 a capital. structure. or capital of palestine. refused. to start 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 really have 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 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 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 when inhabitants hear 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 also expressed serious concern over many of washington's proposals . the oval office article that has been happening i work with the cia with this bill as that is going to enable. and able to actually act it's landstuhl and acts more which is biased getting addicted and. thousands of

palestinians i mean it's a shoe it's. is on violation of international law and to be american administration is saying that's ok we've got to go ahead and that that's the major goes out of this that is completely one sided where is the biased i mean voice where does that put us going to start where where or what are the this is being opposed to that going to go to one side it might add obesity that any government do that it's up to try and what are they able to do. that is on a day to day basis we see the guy in the office going to 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 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 or a policy 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 a 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 the new beginnings are not without uncertainty as artie'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. after 47 years of being docked they're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future whacking with you please sit down receive 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 how 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 britain's flagship well half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want finally the country i think you have got on here right now after we've lived through it you don't really want to write. about it. i'm very excited for our future. we're very. to make our own decisions i wrote goals control i write migration policy for every place realistic it's a real joy and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future stores in the end but the beginning of the e.u. has evolved with 50 is unit direction the global suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doom voyage people realize that if. we would cut that

it's good if you try to be very disruptive we take. 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 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 ana said i would try to deal with general 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 former deputy mayor of london roger evans and international barrister julian of minds on what might lie ahead for post bragg's of 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 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 of a bait and as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're poor parliament should console is going to for over the coming months and 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 and 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 and the earth to come. still to come as fears grow

globally over the corona virus outbreak of there is a reported spike in discrimination against chinese people explore that after a break this is the week we are to international.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on all sides very dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back this is r t international and the weekly 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. and 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. the world health organization also stressed that countries should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus artie's because donald 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 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 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 or old familiar 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 baby ever 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 if she said she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't travelled or we've been back to a certain amount of time 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 our usual 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 see. 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 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 were already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking artillery class people away from minus 2020 what 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 schools 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 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. 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 we do internalize those as risk right now in all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases of 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. turkish military convoy has rumbled into northwest syria as damascus continues a renewed offensive against militants the turkish convoy consisted of dozens of armored vehicles fuel tanker trucks and flatbed trucks carrying tanks and armored personnel carriers city is the last stronghold of the militants and the syrian army has had significant success in their fight against them since tuesday turkish president the one says the syrian army's actions violate the cease fire agreement brokered by ankara and moscow last year in sochi and has warned that ankara could use military force. syria made headlines this week as well a meeting of the u.n.

security council so russia at loggerheads with the u.k. and the united states over the country the russian representative called claims that syrian forces had killed civilians in italy province unsubstantiated moscow also accused terrorists there of using human shield tactics and targeting established humanitarian corridors. we are appalled by the significant escalation in syrian regime and russian violence in the escalation and it is not due to the operations of the syrian armed forces but the constant and deliberate provocations of the terrorists the lives of millions of civilians are now even greater risks as the combined forces of the assad regime russia the iranian regime and has escalated their offensive the problem of can't be resolved as long as the terrorists that have been recognized as such by the security council continue to rain there. the syrian army have recaptured one of its lead provinces the largest and most

strategic towns. the former hotspot for anti-government protests had been under rebel control since 2012 russia had opened humanitarian corridors for people to leave the area before the operation washington though insisted be offensive be stopped there are these what i have comments it seems that washington has different standards when it comes to its own actions. the fall of my new month came as a shock to everyone it was a cradle of the revolution laith of the jihad against asaad rebels 2nd largest remaining city and they gave it up without a fight a fight for the city that is it self had been a battleground for the past month. but then. in december the syrian military set off an operation taking dozens and dozens of towns and villages in mia weeks the promise

he kicked in russia and turkey mediated a ceasefire which then lost the islamists seemingly couldn't keep their fingers off the trigger. about islam and the reason for the escalation is the reason is the militants control totally or nearly totally by chop out all nusra and i at tarin are sharm which al nusra has turned into and uses as a cover constantly bring the cease fire with the cease fire arrangements create special corridors for noncombatants so they can leave the combat zones by the way the terrorists keep striking those corridors hindering the departure of peaceful civilians trying to retain them as human shields. we've seen it all before in ghouta rebels caged the women and pensioners on roofs to prevent the air strikes i was in aleppo at the end when those same rebels held hostage 200000

civilians refusing to allow a single person human shield to leave the city and you wouldn't even know reading recent headlines it's the usual stuff assad is guilty of every scene and every hurt in syria ruthless actions by russia the iranian regime hizbollah and the assad regime are directly preventing the establishment of a ceasefire in northern syria we condemn these barbaric attacks and call for an immediate cease fire one would think if you really want to the cease fire you'd stop flooding rebel armories with weapons and advanced guided missiles but ok so what would america do if it was a to. max during the ceasefire how would it fight terrorists who hide behind civilians in the state department preaches and voices its concern about the suffering of civilians only when the terrorists suffer

a crushing defeat and syrian citizens of finally liberated the state department also published similar hypocritical tweets when syrian cities that are now rebuilding themselves were liberated unlike rocca that was wiped off the map by us as strikes they leveled mosul just like they obliterated raca in all tens of thousands of innocents died i remember them back then broken civilians running out of the city mosul every day horrified that isis sent us jets in equal measure but apparently what america leveled cities it's the right thing to do we're not perfect guys we can make a mistake and in this kind of warfare what happened but we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference isis knows that they can use human shields to avoid being hit it's their air defense system the enemy is using a tactic that actually has them become part of the target that is on them not on us

not entirely sure the dead would agree those pulver rise by coalition bombs or the survivors who are still years later cleaning up the rubble surprised the pentagon hasn't blamed them too for forcing america to use so many bombs it's clear the cases in mosul iraq the american and british bombers targeted the jihad the islamic state opponents but these people were intermingled with the civilians they had based. souls and buildings which also house civilians were next to them it's a case of burying their head in the sand and not wanting to admit that both turkey or russia have helped at least to limit the human cost at least to many many. hundreds of thousands of people i mean it is i think part of the underlying dilemma of the western states that they committed themselves so wholeheartedly to the fall of a sad that they turned

a blind eye to who was fighting against him and so they have in the end said anybody who's against it is better than a. double standards but it's also turning a blind eye to these groups who have after all spawned threats to western europe because some of the supporters have carried out radical terrorist attacks in western europe to. a dozen for me this hour in the week we'll be back to top the hour with another look stay with us the. 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.
