11:03 pm
definitely not out there i've seen in a police plain that 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 us they say we have to leave and you take trade the entire street and we 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 of 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 trump administration's long
11:04 pm
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 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
11:05 pm
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 planet triggered protest in parts of the west bank with militants in the gaza strip firing rockets and mortar rounds at israel scores of demonstrators also bunged tires to voice their anger at the u.s. proposed. the trumpet ministrations recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital is the 1st non starter 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 palestine would also be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israeli approval but it would get a 50 dollars 50000000000 dollar aid package for the state of palestine would
11:06 pm
consist of a patchwork of areas in the west bank and gaza that are currently cut off or 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 you can see them marked here most of those have yet to be built under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given to a capital in. an arab neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem 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 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
11:07 pm
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 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 from us most of all they have to hear our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict to go say
11:08 pm
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. the ovals are there that has been happening and what we're seeing with this bill is that it is going to enable. an able to actually act. and still acts more which is by this getting a better theory and addicts. thousands of palestinians i make say show is is on 'd violation of the national law and the american administration is saying that's ok you go ahead out of it and that's the major roads out of this land is
11:09 pm
completely one sided where is the biased and you know voice where is the palestinians standing where 'd where where are they at this is being opposed to their own about a one sided mad but obviously the israeli government that these ideas. that we went by this that is on a day to day basis we see a guy who built this kind of a nation and out of their quality and injustices that they have been 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 it's examination of the situation in palestine it's 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
11:10 pm
a case like israel palestine where there has been impunity where israel has not held virtually any one of significance to account for serious human rights abuses over decades and the policies have been the same. the u.k. has finally been 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 artie's done accord 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 would think you
11:11 pm
would in the future whacking 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
11:12 pm
britain's flagship well half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want finally because you're 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 our future and so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy but i replied 3 articles were real bright and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future. stores may end but the beginning of the e.u. has evolved over 50 is unit direction the logo suits this country but the other half is seasick and predicting a doomed voyage for people to realize that the e.u. we would cover that. if you try to be very disruptive we make you feel. similar to what we have. dogs we will be worse off but see the u.k.
11:13 pm
is still it's just pretty 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 peace 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 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
11:14 pm
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 mullins on what might lie ahead for a post break that britain. disentangling ourselves from the european union will be a long and time consuming problem because when the european union issued regulations they had directed 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 verbatim as acts of parliament and the consequence of
11:15 pm
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 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
11:16 pm
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 w.h.o. continues to have a confidence in china's capacity to control the outbreak the world health organization also stressed that countries are should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus r.t.c. was 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 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.
11:17 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 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 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
11:18 pm
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 to klyce did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to read this. things like the corona virus in china wouldn't happen just seen. 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
11:19 pm
people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus back in the colonial era white people literally illnesses the 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 the hash tag i am not a virus were already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our class people very 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 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
11:20 pm
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 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 7 be some 800 people a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher
11:21 pm
but because we see them on the day to day we do internalize those as risk 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. turkish military convoy has rumbled into northwest syria as damascus continues a renewed offensive against militants the turkish convoy consists of dozens of armored vehicles fuel tankers and flatbed trucks carrying tanks and armored personnel carriers in the 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 andrea and moscow last year in sochi and has warned of in ankara could use military force. syria made headlines this week as well
11:22 pm
a meeting of the u.n. security council sall russia at longer heads with the u.k. and united states over the country the russian representative called claims that syrian forces had killed civilians in the province unsubstantiated moscow also accused terrorists there of using human shield tactics and targeting established humanitarian corridors. we are appalled by the significant escalation and syrian regime and russian violence in libya but the escalation in 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 ask 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
11:23 pm
has it recaptured one of the elite provinces largest and most of their teacher towns in among 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 that the offensive be stopped but as our people 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 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. in december the syrian military set off an operation taking dozens and dozens of towns
11:24 pm
and villages in meal 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 for. about an ellipse and the reason for the escalation 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 ceasefire 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. seen at all before in ghouta rebels caged the women and pensioners on roofs to prevent strikes i was in aleppo at the end when those same rebels held hostage 200000 civilians
11:25 pm
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 ceasefire you'd stop flooding rebel armories with weapons and advanced guided missiles but ok so what would america do if it was a. how would it fight terrorists who hide behind civilians and the state department preaches and voices its concern about the suffering of civilians only when the terrorists suffer
11:26 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 when 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 won't happen 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
11:27 pm
not entirely sure the dead would agree those pulver arised 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
11:28 pm
a blind eye to who was fighting against him and so they have in the end said anybody who's against assad is better than a sad not 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. let's take a spin around the globe a look at some other stories making headlines this hour. a yellow vests a rally saw violent clashes between protesters and riot police in southern france on saturday the clashes were focused around the central square where about a 1000 people refused to leave for more than 4 hours police responded with tear gas water cannons and arresting 21 people. dozens of migrants plastered posters to a fence on the us mexico border before burning an effigy of president donald trump
11:29 pm
and sunday the protests marked 172 years since the signing of the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo which ended the mexican war and expanded the size of the u.s. demonstrators also demanded that washington would turn mexican territory lost in the treaty. and in a funny note in brazil thousands of people attended celebrations of the chinese lunar new year in the city of san paolo on saturday chinese themed dancing colorful costumes and traditional music are all a part of the celebration chinese new year is the most important holiday in china and is celebrated in communities throughout the world. that does it for me and in fact for the weekly my colleague dan hawkins will be here in about 30 minutes time with a full and fresh look at your news this is our 2 international certainly got. plus
