broadcasting a lot of. international thomas i'm glad to have you with us. our good 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 from high road. was . was. the man now being named as a 20 year old man had reportedly been released from prison only days before after
10:02 pm
serving just half of his 3 year sentence for the possession and distribution of extremist material he was under active service police surveillance at the time of the attack london metropolitan police say that they are treating the incident in tazz an islamist inspired terror attack is believed the perpetrator grabbed a knife from a shop before carrying out the frenzied assault british prime minister boris johnson has thanked emergency services for responding to the incident and has expressed sympathy to those injured witnesses described what they saw. the ridiculousness of it just let us decide it's going to put us going to settle this thing that it can't wait go to them in the. other to be. ready to. get to the truck to show. that it was going to. the lighting of the city but definitely not out there i've seen in
10:03 pm
a police plain that police uniform has and walked to the body and is where they are realizing he got something on it and this where they came to us they said we have to leave and if they create entire street and the need to 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 office. unfortunately we don't have more police in use the 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 ministrations

a long awaited middle east peace plan 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 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 through 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
10:05 pm
say a 1000 times no new 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. proposal. the trump administration's 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 that 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 in palestine 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 now the state of palestine would consist of
10:06 pm
a patchwork of areas in the west bank and gaza that are currently cut off from one another if you take a look at the map here they would according to the plan be connected by roads and tunnels and bridges that you can see marked here the most of those have not actually been built yet under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a capital in this an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem or his policy or spoke with some residents there. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of decent 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 b.o.'s our capital of palestine.
10:07 pm
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 acing and be able to want to make beasts but they have to give us you know what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to. be says he doesn't give us 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
10:08 pm
to get 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 d s rights group as well have expressed serious concern over many of washington's proposals. the oval office there because that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill as that is going to enable. and able to actually act and then still acts more which is biased getting an editorial and addicts. thousands of palestinians makes a shoe is. is in violation of the national law and to be american administration is saying that's ok 'd 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
10:09 pm
palestinians standing where 'd where where are they at this is being opposed to that on a better one sided mad obesity that any government that is out it's up to. us and what are they able to. buy us that is on a day to day basis we see a guy who built this going to nation and out of an equality and injustices 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 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 behind 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. 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 up people following the historic referendum back in 2016 and britain's and. new beginnings are not without uncertainty as are trees down a quarter breaks down. now 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 so working with you pays to chandra's you in your states put your flags
10:11 pm
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 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
10:12 pm
they want finally because you're actually going to get going on here right now after we've lived through your book you want to write. about. i'm very excited for a future in so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy very patriotic as well. right 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 people realize that if. we would cut that it's good if you try to be very productive great you. similar to what we have you. know we will be worse off but see the u.k.
10:13 pm
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 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 set i try to deal with donald trump. was foreign secretary he embarrassed this country and as prime minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell itself when and if the u.k.
10:14 pm
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 an international barrister on julian mullins and what might lie ahead for post back to 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 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 parliamentary consul is going to for over the coming months and years have to
10:15 pm
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 in the years to come. we caught a virus outbreak has now claimed its 1st victim outside of china and 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
10:16 pm
declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china. on the contrary dudley 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 see what is done and has been looking into valid 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 new cases have been confirmed around the world including germany and japan.
10:17 pm
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 bad day she's 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 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
10:18 pm
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 i'm i'm playing myself. when it disgustingly ironic that people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus and
10:19 pm
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 we're already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our class people's everyday away from minus 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 however says that the isolation measures are a necessary evil to stop the new disease in its tracks the purpose of the
10:20 pm
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 a 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 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 we do internalize those as risk right now and all of canada and there have been 3 confirmed cases of the corona virus the
10:21 pm
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. a 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 as well 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 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 ankara could use military force. in syria made headlines this week as well

a meeting of the u.n. security council sall russia heads with the u.k. and the united states over the country the russian representative called claims that syrian forces had killed civilians in italy but province some says unsubstantiated moscow also accused terrorists they're abusing human shield tactics and targeting established humanitarian corridors. we are appalled by the significant escalation in syrian regime and russian violence in libya but 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 but provinces largest and most strategic towns nomen 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 the offensive be stopped but as i choose but comment it seems that washington has different standards when it comes to its own actions. the fall of mud out the new month came as a shock to everyone it was a cradle of the revolution late to 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 but 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 meal weeks the promise
10:24 pm
he kicked in washington turkey mediated a ceasefire which then lost the islamists seemingly couldn't keep their fingers off the trigger. about it lip and the reason for the escalation is the reason is the militants control totally or nearly totally by chop out all nusra and ayad taria sham 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 are seen at 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
10:25 pm
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 wanted 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. a cease fire how would it fight terrorists who hide behind civilians is the department preaches and voices its concern about the suffering of civilians only when the terrorists suffer
10:26 pm
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 happens but we are the good guys munition 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
10:27 pm
not entirely sure the dead would agree those pulver arise 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 base. in 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 they committed themselves so wholeheartedly to the fall of sad they turned
10:28 pm
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. look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour. the yellow vests rally saw violent clashes between protesters and riot police in southern france on saturday the clashes were focused around the central square in the air where $1000.00 people refused to leave for more than 4 hours police responded with tear gas and water cannons arresting 21 people. dozens of migrants plastered posters to a fence on the us mexico border before burning an effigy of president donald trump in tijuana on sunday the protest marked
