live from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right a knife wielding suspected terrorist has been shot and killed by police in south london authorities say 3 people were stabbed in this assault which happened on the street them high road and the man now being named as a man had been reportedly released from prison only days before after serving just half of his 3 year sentence for terror offenses.

was. london metropolitan police say they are treating the incident has 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 frenzied assault the perpetrator had been under armed police surveillance british prime minister boris that johnson has thanked the emergency services for responding to the incident and has expressed sympathy to those injured witnesses described what they saw. somebody. let us fight. us going to. sleep. then the took a shot. at it one of. the ones i think the slow death of it.

or i've seen a police planed after police uniform has some work to the body and this is where they are realizing he got something on it and this they tend to as they say you have to leave then you take trade inside st on the medieval day or you left the area earlier we got reaction from chris phillips former head of the u.k.'s national counter terrorism security office. unfortunately we don't have more police in your dues so i think it will become clear soon whether this person has been released from prison whether 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 that 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 that was released on tuesday provoking a firestorm of criticism the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas had described it as a humiliating proposal which fails to respect to 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 what they 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. mahmoud abbas said on saturday that he will now suspend all ties with of the united states and israel the release of the plan triggered protests in parts of the west bank with 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. the trump administration's recognition of jerusalem has 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 palestinians would also be banned from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior approval from israel but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package of 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 they would according to the plan be connected by roads and tunnels and some bridges which you can see marked here those most of them have not actually been built yet under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a capital and dia's an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem ortiz apollo slayer's 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. 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 cynical at best about acing and be able to want to make big but they have to give us what they give is that you know the fear he doesn't give any think. this is it doesn't give us from us most of our legs 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 as well have expressed serious concern over many of washington's proposals. we all vocals there that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill is that it's going to enable. and able to actually act. and still acts more which is biased getting a better theory and. thousands of palestinians makes a show is is on violation of international law and the american administration is saying that's ok you go ahead out of it and that's the major voice 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 not apt over the city the israeli government that these are it's up to . us it's what a favorable. bias that is on a day to day basis we see a guy who built this kind of a nation out of an equality and injustice is that 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 and its examination of the 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. has finally bit its farewell to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block and an extended period of our people following the historic referendum back in 2016 and britain's new beginnings are not without uncertainty as artie's done quarter breaks down. 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 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 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 lived through your book 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 a brighter future. stores in the end but a beginning the e.u. has voted with 50 is 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 the e.u. we would cover that it's good if you try to be very productive. similar to what we have you. know we will be worse off but see the u.k.

is. it's just really or 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 the 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 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 bootie. are we heard from a former deputy mayor of london roger evans and international barrister julian mullins on what might lie ahead for post back to britain. this entangling 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 describes 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 counsel 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 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. 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 a vote of no confidence in china on the contrary deadly joe 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 to yours donald has been looking into that aspect of the current. 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 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 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 traveled or we've been back to a certain amount of time i have one friend

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 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 are getting the coronavirus back in the colonial era white people literally the illnesses the 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 were already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our 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 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 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 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 internalize those as risk right now in 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. and large 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 the lib city is the last stronghold of the militants and of the syrian army has had significant success in their fight against them since tuesday turkish president says that the syrian army's actions violate the cease fire agreement brokered by ankara and moscow last year in sochi and has warned that

anchor could use military force. in syria made headlines this week as well meeting of the un security council sall russia at loggerheads with the u.k. and united states over the country the russian representative called claims that syrian forces had killed civilians in italy province unsubstantiated moscow 'd 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 at 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 reign there. the

syrian army has captured one of it would present provinces the largest and most strategic towns newmont the former hotspot of anti-government protests have been under rebel control since 2012 russia had opened humanitarian corridors for people to leave the area before the operation washington washington though insisted the offensive be stopped but is actually about gaza comments teams that washington has different standards when it comes to its own actions. the fall of newman came as a shock to everyone it was a cradle of the revolution later the jihad against the assad 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. in

december the syrian military set off an operation taking dozens and dozens of towns and villages in me a week's diplomacy kicked in russia and turkey mediated a cease fire which didn't last the islamists seemingly couldn't keep their fingers off the trigger. about italy and the reason for the escalation the reason is the militant. controlled totally or nearly totally by chopper all nusra and i at tarin are sharm which al nusra has turned into and uses as a current constantly bring the cease fire with the cease fire arrangements create special corridors for noncombatants so they can leave the combat zone 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 airstrikes 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 we sent headlines it's the usual stuff assad is guilty of every sin 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 wanted this cease fire you would stop flooding rebel armories with weapons and advanced guided missiles but ok so what would america do if it was attacks during the cease fire how would it fight terrorists who hide behind civilians in the state department preaches and voices

its concern about the alleged 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 raca that was wiped off the map by u.s. airstrikes 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 this kind of warfare will happen but we are the good guys 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 i'm 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 bass. 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 took here in russia have helped at least 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 they committed themselves so wholeheartedly to the

fall of sad 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 the. 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. now take a swing around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines this hour. a yellow vests rally solve violent clashes between protesters and riot police in southern france on saturday the clashes were focused around the central square in montpellier where $1000.00 people refused to leave but for more than 4 hours responded with tear gas and water cannons resting $21.00 people the yellow vests movement has been active for more than

a year now with participants in viewing french president. propping up the elite at the expense of ordinary citizens. dozens of migrant sponsored posters a fence on the us mexico border before burning an effigy of president donald trump in a one on sunday the protest marked 172 years since the signing of the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo which ended the mexican war and expanded the size of the us demonstrate. sorry the size of the u.s. demonstrators also demanded in washington the term mexican territory lost in the 1848 treaty. and then brazil thousands of people attended celebrations of the chinese at lunar new year in the city of the south palo on saturday chinese dancing in colorful costumes and traditional music are all part of the celebration of chinese new year is the most important holiday in china. and is celebrated in the communities of throughout the world. does it for me this hour i'll be back with

more the week we have top next hour starts international was. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. let you go right to be cross with what looks like 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the water using our. first sip.
