from moscow thanks for joining us here. welcome to the program. the palestinian president mahmoud abbas 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 and has this report. 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 call 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 you can i say should resign and
5:02 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 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. with the president. let's not beat around the bush progress toward peace would not be made of longer than the. vision the reality only when he steps down. in the
5:03 pm
move fooled now 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 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 my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides. the was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to
5:04 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 was 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 a real show off
5:05 pm
a senior political adviser to mahmoud abbas says 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 give it a big part of our land in the west bank to israel. make israel responsible for our security whatever. and share with us the dock 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 our best to accept this is he spoke today in the security council he was very clear . i am i want peace based on
5:06 pm
a 2 state solution i want need to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want to call it that 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. mollen president has revealed it is a ministrations made contact with islamist leaders in his country's conflict stricken north in an effort to end the deadly violence that's been sweeping the sal region ibrahim a bubble schuchat as admission to french journalists comes shortly after paris said it would send $600.00 more troops the west africa shot of whiskey has the details. president kater in that interview said that no stone could be left unturned when it came to the search for peace and an end to the bloodshed. it is my duty
5:07 pm
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 up bloodshed has been ratcheting up. the of the as well as you're aware there is
5:08 pm
a heavy french a presence of military in the sawhill region so the idea that mali's president and its government is now talking to the c.g. hard as 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 is now talking to the senior harvests in an attempt to find peace will probably
5:09 pm
raise some eyebrows here in france especially given that french soldiers macron and put it well 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
5:10 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 south held 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 home grown 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. let's cross live to the silicon on the
5:11 pm
catalyst lawrence freeman thanks for joining us so good to have you on today do you think this move by the government could help bring peace to the region quite unprecedented of the big decision here to engage in talks with that would be the hardest groups. the present president kate is in a very difficult position the violence in mali is the most serious in the entire site hell the un peace forces there have the greatest number of fatalities in any un peacekeeping force in the world and he's desperate and he's looking for some kind of solution because the situation was handed to him by with the united states and france did in 2011 when they overthrew the government of gadhafi and then assassinated so he will be able to speak out they have released toric who raided the any little down in libya
5:12 pm
got their pick up trucks and road across the desert which led to the collapse of mali in 2012 and molly essentially lost more than part of the country i was there in 2013 i was restricted where to go but 2 thirds of the country is desert and that really lead to our eggs in the other 8 u.n. force and when operating out of me took over could out and lead mali government has a weak force militarily could not dislodge them the wind could not dislodge them and this just dozens and hundreds of people being killed on a regular basis so the kate a government which is changes government now a couple of times cabinet is feels very desperate and is looking to make a choice with their enemy to try to find some solution and the french are not a solution for mali they're helping in the short term possibly on
5:13 pm
a military and but the larger question is mali has to be an independent sovereign nation and the solution for this a hell is academic development and this is where the french and the west have been completely absent and you don't do go of the desert the desert become your enemy. there were some protests earlier in mali where people were demanding that france actually withdraw its troops but on the other hand do you think france is the only country right now that somehow trying to stabilize the region through sending troops there to bring you know some sort of substance of all of control correct this is the difficulty the people in west africa do not trust the french. and there's good reason because the french i mean 10 even after they left in 1008. through their minute relation of monetary control and currency control they have continued it can
5:14 pm
a new deal call your policy for 14 countries in africa through the year their alliance and therefore there is a great deal of distrust on the other hand the french are the only ones who have been willing to militarily put in some skin in the game and draw and tap the terrorist so as of it's a very difficult position you will not defeat terrorism militarily you want to feed it by dropping tons of bombs in maybe necessary component but you don't stop terrorism in africa and leasure make a full scale military like make me do economic development and as long as the economic development component is not there then the africans and this case the marlins are not going to be proud to serve the president making a very tough decision seeing people dying scene control the north and not have it
5:15 pm
all i doesn't it's not the government controlled going so he's looking for arab neighbors desperation is looking for another way our going to an ally going to an enemy who everybody hates in bamako he feels desperate and therefore he doesn't see another way to do it and the french are knocking us out of probably into a certain very difficult position with the united states you are bombing ministration susan rice samantha powers hillary clinton together with star cause in france in 2011 they generated the cause of this problem and balance and that worries came running out of libya of course that ties it and topple mali in 2012 and therefore they are responsible for correcting the situation which they have not done except for. for instance the military making some military effort it is clear the mahdi government does have all options on the table does that all the while and
5:16 pm
it is except things that should troops from france and the other it's a gazing in talks on the one hand though does it gauging in talks and negotiations not perhaps with all these rebel groups but with the most radical jarvis ones doesn't not legitimize them as a political force that's a dangerous road you're on. i'm not privy to any inside information of where it's going on except there are some negotiations i think when you're in a desperate situation you don't have sovereign control the country people are being killed you military being weak and in fact in support from the west to build up a girl peter carnley as president of your people who sometimes have to take you know sure it may seem very unpleasant. but i'm going and you have to keep everything on the table ultimately you have to find a settlement ultimately you have to negotiate it was a negotiated settlement 2050 it has been met and the west has not played
5:17 pm
a role so the government and the president is saying i must step forward in the interest of my people and take a very could be carriers dangerous president who will go she asians are something you always want to keep on the table as a possibility. interesting stuff political economic analyst lawrence freeman thanks for that update today here at international great to have in the program. the relations between the philippines and the u.s. have hit a new low point when it is announced that scrapping a decade's old defense agreement with washington that allows u.s. forces to train their 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. well the move to end the defense agreement comes after a filipino senator who was also
5:18 pm
a top commander in the country's war on drugs had his u.s. visa rescinded without explanation when that happened president the 30 lashed out at the united states. but the whole. thought on this i merely am wondering you know this is the 1st time. in. you know. while. there are many may be said visiting is. up all same time. these so-called visiting forces agreement has been replacing in 99 that allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines the 30 accused american forces of clandestine activity even saying washington was storing nuclear weapons in the southeast asian country. the united
5:19 pm
states did say it's received notification on ending the agreement but will not comment on further developments in an earlier exclusive interview with r.t. president the tatty explain to us why he's so suspicious of the united states. he has the look. but speed because we're we were under the 50 year and the difficult to land. what we've got going to. prevent the war against. seoul. if you. think they're no good if. they can get it from there and the. train is going to. be so good in. merely that. he's full of belly full body. you can watch the full interview at r.t.
5:20 pm
dot com on all you tube channel as well i mean tom we spoke earlier to activist and author raising winner who believes the military agreement should have been scrapped sooner. the reasons for scrapping the this is in force agreement of course less than a young or aspired leader decided over the drug war and we don't support the drug war but he believed that the our terminator the defeatist lot over jew it is just it is absolutely necessary that the us be an affront to our sovereignty and it is a reminder to remain a new colony of the united states the north the sermon nishan 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
5:21 pm
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 fractious remunerated states. london's metropolitan police have been facing a backlash then sort of thing proud of 3 years of life facial recognition cameras and it seen a sudden burst of interest in make up known as dazzle count for us do you shout it was actually met with some of the complainants and tried her hand at it as well. make 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.
5:22 pm
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 government databases and all the facial recognition technology could 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
5:23 pm
a lot of time on things from. people with us we don't tell you all that as a cover there's a camera at the end of the war and it's 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 doubling as they call it a surprise up the face and as the motor 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 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 called stop this cutting edge technology can it it's expecting
5:24 pm
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 me 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 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 the right let's look at it i think it's again i don't 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
