2:01 pm
from moscow thanks for joining us tonight on. the program. president has formally rejected donald trump's middle east peace plan was addressing the u.n. security council where he described the plan as a reward for occupation reports. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leans the united nations and made his case about why palestine is rejecting the proposal put forward by the white house and israel take a listen. i have come to you to cool for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the israeli american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic
2:02 pm
cooperation and the african union they who concluded that this plan must be completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others. now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet the united states the un russia and the european union now the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas few the to be plugged. if you do this to negotiate even interested in finding a balance to do the conflict. mr president. let's not beat around the bush. peace would not be made of longer than the. reality only when he steps down can either. move fooled now
2:03 pm
according to the plan that was put forward jerusalem would remain israel's undivided capital and the united states claims it would double palestine's territory and that $50000000000.00 would be invested into a palestinian state now those are the claims put forward about what would go on and what would take place under this deal however though we have heard a lot of optimism and positive statements about it from the u.s. leaders as well as israeli leaders we have not heard anything positive about it from palestinians in fact in addition to negative statements about it from palestinian leaders there have been some pretty intense clashes take a listen to my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to the
2:04 pm
israel's security. i'm going to have to. it's a great plan prue's room. it's a great plan for peace. already on the very day when this u.n. security council meeting was taking place there were clashes taking place on the west bank between palestinians and israeli security forces near the palestinian city of ramallah there was conflict at this point there were jewish settlements there were tear gas dispersed against palestinian protesters rocks were thrown quite a heated and intense exchange a lot of injuries took place it seems that this proposed peace plan is not leading to peace and stability. and to be
2:05 pm
a senior political advisor to mahmoud abbas the palestinian president is ready to negotiate with israel but only under international supervision. it is totally unacceptable it's it's not. a deal a deal if somebody is something that each party of 2 parties get something and be something this is not a deal this is an attempt to liquidate the palestinian problem given a big part of our land in the west bank to israel. made israel responsible for sound security whatever. share with us. some mosque and take over all of the east jerusalem and stop giving any rights to the refugees this is a crime against the palestinian people there is nothing government really focused on our best to accept this he spoke today in the security council he was very clear
2:06 pm
. i am i want peace based on the 2 state solution i want to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want the quartet which includes russia and the rubin union and the united nations and the united states but i will not submit to benighted states and make it the sole oh not of this peace process because it is totally biased with israelis. and mournin president has revealed it is a ministrations made contact with islamist leaders in his country's conflict stricken north an effort to end the deadly violence that's been sweeping the health region it. has a mission to french journalist come shortly after paris said it will send 600 more troops to west africa charlotte obviously has this report. president. in that interview said no stone could be left unturned when it came to the search for peace
2:07 pm
and to. chat. the world it is my duty and my mission to do everything possible so that one. way or another we can achieve some sort of peace because the number of deaths in the sahara is increasing exponentially and i believe that it is time that certain avenues were explored this is as tensions have been mounting particularly over the last 2 months that bloodshed has been ratcheting up. the as well as you're aware
2:08 pm
there is a heavy french a presence of military in the sawhill region so the idea that mali's president is and its government is now talking to the c.g. hardass puts in question what perhaps those french troops are doing to guarantee that security in the region this acknowledgement is pretty uncomfortable given that it comes just weeks after a summit here in france the g. 5 sawhill summit was held in january that was hailed as a success by president he said at the time that the summit was a turning point in founding a solution to the issues in the saw her region when it comes to the insurgency by the hardest and he acknowledged at that summit and he said that this has been acknowledged by other african region are as well is that the former colonial power was the only guarantee of security on the ground so the idea that mali's government
2:09 pm
is now talking to the senior hardest in an attempt to find peace will probably raise some eyebrows here in france especially. french soldiers as much put it will paying for the conflict in blood and it's also possibly a slap in the face given that we've just had the announcement that france is to boost its troops in the region the armed forces minister announcing that that would bring the troop deployment up to around $5100.00 it also comes at a time when there are tensions over the presence of french military the french troops in the region as well there have been protests on the ground across the south whole region of people saying that they're unhappy with the idea of a former colonial power having its troops in the region today and that's something that mcconnell also touched on in that summit in power in the south of france back in january he actually said that there was no problem with french troops being on the ground and he suggested that the tensions were in fact being stood up by what
2:10 pm
he described as foreign powers the speeches that i've heard in recent weeks a contemptible because they serve other interests be very interested terrorist groups or those of foreign powers who want to see the europeans withdraw because they have their own agendas agendas involving mercenaries the french armies in the world to promote security and stability well there was no further details to elaborate on that no evidence given by president but this new announcement of this talking with the hardest and also another announcement by the african union that what they need is a homegrown counterterrorism force perhaps suggest french troops aren't exactly that welcome at least in the long term and this could cause some difficulties for president back on here in france he's been under pressure recently to justify that continued military deployment that presence in this and of course now with those increasing troops heading to the area. because live now it's august and is over all
2:11 pm
over counter-terror expert for more on this thanks for joining us so good to have in the program today quite a big major step for the modern government isn't it someone saying i'm president of move do you think talking to the hardest can help bring peace to the region. i think every adult shown should be looked just like you highly mentioned our way of making decent move without consultation with the french president seems to be a bit of be taught how understand that about 4000 people have been lost or lost their lives you know in d.c. area of course is under a lot of praise your to ensure that it brings this violence to an end. with the french government having you know about 5000 warm doodle planted to all 5100 soldiers on ground war did. cause you know
2:12 pm
4 to one you know soldiers have been lost in this war since 2013 the french government would be quite keen to to know to save face and they showed that they are leaving the place been helped to a showdown peace really. particularly in mali the french government as you mentioned is going to send extra troops to those already stationed do you think that's an effective plan do you think that's going to hinder these negotiations if they if they go ahead do you think that's going to get in the way of things in terms of the talks. we know already that there are tensions on ground and some groups no really happy with the french presence it's important to highlight just 2 years ago a national conference was held you know in mali where this. gesture no recommendation from politicians there was that the government should negotiate with
2:13 pm
terrorists or with those groups who are more or less embedded with. community clashes on volleys that is taking place in mali not just in mali alone there is attacks in book both cannot fassel is attack in jail where even the french government has 3 drone or pretty india and last year they actually did use one of the drones to you know to to do to have a successful attack or terrorist group so i think it is important that you know different god made me come to get a 2 of a kind of a quasi approach to dealing with these yes talking to terrorists is important you know to know how to find peace but there are some of those groups that would not drop their arms it's important that there is a strategy plays to a should i do see individuals or those groups are removed from the scene you know that to keep peace in the area you mention talking terrorists is an important
2:14 pm
strategy in trying to find peace i suppose many many people would agree with you others would say that talking to jarvis talking terrorists only legitimizes them as a political force as opposed to you know putting them out on the margins is there any truth in that sentiment. yes and i think it's important to understand that the conflict in mali in the side a is not just restricted to just a terrorist a lot there are people actually fighting all they get to believe legatee really that they are fighting for the for the elite to scarce resources that is in that area so they see themselves more like you friedel freedom fighters so you won't have freedom fighters. could be deemed as a terrorist group well i think what is important here for the viewers is to understand decide been under a lot of stress with over 4000 people killed i think there is need for peace cope with the fact that the african union is piloting you know the jet that you tried to
2:15 pm
63. look in our silence in the gone did smallest fall in line with it but measured the mali government need to work with the french government to ensure that their strategy aligns wheat fife who are also working to was sure of peace and. there were protests earlier in mali against the presence of french troops people demanding those troops leave but i was you rightly said it's france their country that is trying to actually. stabilize the situation on the ground and 2nd question i suppose is can the region maintain security without foreign help without foreign intervention is that something that they're trying to aim for in the long run. i think is a portal for some of these countries to recognize that you know i says i says g.s. moving into some of these countries that are not very stable and destabilizing them
2:16 pm
as they moved to africa and they supported a walk collaboratively with foreign countries the united nations you know interested parties to get a read or to. actually shore destroyed. because once they have a strong good it's always very difficult to get rid of them and as the reason why it's important that there is it to we are proved to wait for those lady to drop their weapons and talk peace because part of the democratic process their morals be an avenue for dan to be able to gain engaged before those that are not ready to do it's important to walk with god our government on a dusty corridors to assure that those individuals do not have displays to be able to carry out. it's ok to move the ball or took out a terrorist but thanks for your take today you're not international greats have in the program. take very much for having me. relations between the
2:17 pm
philippines and the us have hit a new low point when it has about that scrapping a decade's old defense agreement with washington that allows u.s. forces to train their saying it wants to be more independent it's about time we rely on ourselves we will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country on the move to end the defense agreement comes after a filipino senator who was also a top commander in the country's war on drugs had his u.s. visa rescinded without explanation when that happened president the territory lashed out at the united states. soon but all. but go on so i merely am wondering you're just a 1st time. in. you know. one. better man may be said visiting forces
2:18 pm
agreement. up all same time in a. well the so called visiting forces agreement has been in place and 999 and allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines to accuse the american forces of clandestine activity even saying washington was stalling nuclear weapons in the southeast asian country the united states says it received notification on ending the agreement but will not comment any further on developments in an early exclusive interview with this channel president the tears he explained to us why he's so suspicious of the united states . he has the look. but. because we don't even really know what if you. want to learn. what we've got going to. prevent a war against him. if you. think they're not getting.
2:19 pm
what. they can get from there and we. just need. training to go and if we go to. be so good in the. east of delhi will believe. you can watch the full interview at r.t. dot com and on our you tube channel as well in the meantime we spoke earlier to activists that are not always in manila who believes the military agreement should have been terminated even sooner. the reasons for scrapping the this is in force agreement or worse less an idea or a spat with the side over the drug war and we don't support the ground war but he believes that the terminator the 50 to slaughter over jew it is just is absolutely necessary yes been an affront to our sovereignty and it is a reminder to remain
2:20 pm
a new colony of the united states the north german nation has been received by the united states and i think it's now waiting game we have 100 east by which we can have we will have a press for the term in egypt obviously we hope that money will not backtrack on this termination and we hope that the u.s. government would not extrude any more pressure on the philippines on account of this terminations but it's it's really too much intervention already for glass 2 decades from the united states and this is the 1st time that the police will try to stand on its own 2 feet minus any crutch just routine and states. london's metropolitan police have been facing a backlash in its announcing plans to use life facial recognition camera sign of seen a sudden burst of interest the make up known as does all come across he shouted with that theme met with some of the campaign is and tried her hand at it as well. make
2:21 pm
up i says me on a daily basis but i don't think i rely on it as much as these guys this is a doesn't know. but they're standing up to surveillance well they're doing is using anti facial recognition makeup to defy the system taking defiance to a whole new level. looks like a castle would be proud of himself well that's an estimated 630000 c.c.t.v. cameras watching london's $8000000.00 people go about the daily lives that's around one camera for 14 people this is just a case of algorithms can already extract information ranging from gender age and even mood from a single image and then those physical attributes can be linked to commercial
2:22 pm
government databases and all the facial recognition technology can provide huge benefits and automation security many would argue it's a threat to privacy despite the arguments against the advance in facial recognition a moving piece of events into a new a while in phase doesn't clip started as a response to study. about facial recognition being used on the king's cross site and we've spent a lot of time on things from. people with us we don't tell you all there's a camera there's a camera at the end of the war cameras everywhere the group meets once a month to walk through different parts of london mosque with the come a flash the prevents computers recognizing their faces well the trick to downswing as they call it a surprise up the face and as the motto goes less is more when it comes to the beauty routine so let's explore the secret of deceiving big brother time to get ready for a walk. police
2:23 pm
say facial recognition will revolutionize the fight against troy and with the threat of terror on the rise the pressure for improved security heightens but surely a simple lick of paint can stop this cutting edge technology can it it's expecting your lips to be here so it could be that actually you know your lipstick goes away this way in your kind of bennett scaring not a different way it's been primarily tested on white men when it's kind of implemented on a kind of mass level on the streets of london for example. is largely inaccurate when it comes to people of color but while make up like this presents a challenge to facial recognition it can still be seen by other technologies like gates recognition meaning people's distinctive walking patterns are also monitored
2:24 pm
so perhaps the trick to dodging the system is more of a hop skip and jump away too do you think it's an invasion of human rights or do you think you know i think you have a right let's look at it i think it's again based on humor you know when we have a right to understanding our data is going and how it's being used i don't personally feel safer when i'm surrounded by cameras at the moment i was a very big widely acknowledged legislation so all of this data is being collected whether the dazzle club or a small step or leap away from bowing down to big brother the sesame sporting the snoop the snooping shouted with the r t london. in new hampshire in the us democrats are voting for the presidential candidate to want to challenge donald trump around. the saunders run to judge close the technical meltdown with the voting up gave the president to mock the confused. and you can vote for the weakest candidate if you were my only problem is that i'm
2:25 pm
trying to figure out who is their weakest candidate i think they're all we want to know they're all fighting each other they're all going after each other you got of all over the place i don't know what the hell they're doing however democrats in new hampshire remain determined to back their party's hopefuls explaining they would rather be hit by a meteorite than to see donald trump secure a 2nd in the white house now ahead of tuesday's primary vote some of the saunders led the polls both locally and nationwide media outlets though and even his own colleagues have seen him been singling him out for his socialist leanings with one u.s. news channel host likening him as possible victory to a communist dictatorship i remember the cold war i have an attitude towards castro i believe that castro and the rich had won the cold war there were no executions in central park i don't know the burning burning supports over these years i don't know what he means by socialist bernie coal seam self democratic socialist so you think flat out democrats can't defeat trump if they have to defend socialism i
2:26 pm
think it's going to be incredibly more difficult political activist anthony religious right says that the song of the campaign defies democrat traditions. senator sanders it's not just his policies that have the democratic establishment afraid it's the movement that he's been able it's and build and sustain for you know more than 4 years now from when he ran in 2016 and his campaign is always represented in insurgency to establishment democrats in the democratic national committee now that we're seeing with fund raising numbers we're seeing with his rallies we're seeing with the polling these tactics at the democratic national democratic party have attempted have have not worked and so they're panicking a bit quite frankly because they know that a bernie sanders nomination doesn't just represent you know a new democratic party but it represents the mentality of
