12:02 am
swiss cheese which of you will accept such a state. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leads 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 that is all i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects really american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic cooperation and the african union they have all 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
12:03 am
the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past and go she ations 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 into this did in finding a. to the conflict. with the president. let's not beat around the bush. peace would not be made of longer than the. reality only when he steps down. by the 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
12:04 am
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 israel's security. is going to have a. it's a great plan proves room. it's a great plan for peace. already
12:05 am
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 they 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 kind of hoping that what we heard from a senior political advisor to mahmoud abbas who says the palestinians would be ready to negotiate with israel but only under international supervision. 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. israel responsible
12:06 am
for our security whatever. with us. and take over all of the east jerusalem and stop giving on your rights to the future there is nothing government really focused on our best to accept in the security council he was very clear. i am i want peace based on a 2 state solution i want to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want the quartet which includes russia and the union and the united nations and the united states but i will not submit to be knighted states and make it the sole owner of this peace process because it is so totally biased with israelis for many . greece now where the migrant crisis has become a battleground between the authorities and n.g.o.s operating there as organizations
12:07 am
have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and refugees. there is a galaxy of dodgy n.g.o.s operating alongside a network of doctors lawyers and other people making a mint out of the human misery of these people like you know we all know what about there behind this bad situation our village we can understand the migrants but we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals setting fire to the fields in the village destroying all the trees that we've had here for years and years now. but yes the n.g.o.s are behind this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they're not all the same. one makeshift camp in question is located on the island of less boss who was originally built to host a maximum of 3000 migrants the number of people currently being kept is 6 times higher with little or no access to health care the un is calling for urgent action
12:08 am
meanwhile the refugee crisis across greece which has been on the front line of this for years is deepening last year it was estimated that 74000 migrants reached greek shores in search of a better life more than half remain in makeshift camps scattered across various locations what's worse is greece doesn't see an end in sight even with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year and the island of less boss has been a constant state of protest since camps were established to handle the migrant influx large rallies have often turned violent in the latest last week police were called into action to disperse crowds the governor of the region as well as the president of more a village where the camp is located say some n.g.o.s still do diligent work to help ease the crisis. we have about 450 indios active in the country many of them are very active on the islands where the amigo some problem exists and some of them are doing
12:09 am
a very good job with the help of the our government people but also some of them are really very obscure and ceo's we don't know where they're coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to try to control all the sec to reduce of this and this government has passed the new law in the parliament a few days ago according to which there will be a strict control of the indios it but of course my personal opinion is that everybody knows we have n.g.o.s that help with the situation and others that help the migrants to protest there are also religious n.g.o.s who are helping by giving food to poor and vulnerable people i don't have evidence to prove that they are behind any negative actions but i am sure that there is more here than meets the eye. well arty's asked several of the ngos in question to comment on the situation as soon as we hear anything back we'll let you know their response. thousands of
12:10 am
iranians have turned out for an anti us rally in the capital to it comes as the country marked the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution on tuesday as tensions spiral we're seeing and i can state as you look back at how the republicans molded by events in 97. us around relations hit a new low in early january after a top rating in command because i'm sort of money was killed in an american astronaut in baghdad less than a week after that iran retaliated with miss out attacks against u.s. bases in iraq addressing iranians during the rally president hassan rouhani struck
12:11 am
a defiant. oh my god that even though sadly it was actually in the past 2 years america has put so much pressure on our beloved people and all of our treat all of our exports all of our imports and all of the countries needs to exhaust the patience of our people the americans did not understand the greatness of the iranian people the united states believes it is facing 41 years of civilization no the americans are facing thousands of years of irene civilization discussed washington's possible goals with a number of experts and whether there's any hope for deescalation as the u.s. ramps up the pressure on terror on. i think it's a miscalculation in the united states to even imagine that iran is in any way or form unstable iran has been able to stand firm despite u.s. sanctions despite the fact that the united states is trying to strangle the iranian
12:12 am
economy its and tension is to make ordinary people suffer i think president trouble stated very clearly in the policy is that iran will ma develop. a nuclear program and he will do everything he can to stop the policy is not regime change but rather a regime. for the current regime of commie to change course and stop destabilizing its neighbors and offer you know a brighter future for the people of iran it was the united states that withdrew from the. iran nuclear agreement not iran what iran has been doing since the american withdrawal is exercising exercising its rights in accordance with the the agreement to back off of its commitments so long is one party or multiple parties are not in compliance do you see a chance to mend relations with the united states with you or pull things through improvement terms of foreign policy or all things just going to get tough for us
12:13 am
things go on iran is a is a viable nation state it has a legitimate role to play in the region we can debate whether or not this is malign or otherwise but it is a legitimate role just like any nation has a legitimate role the problem isn't iran per se the problem is the united states the united states needs to learn how to deal with with iran if the united states continues down this path that they will get nowhere with iran if they think that they can overthrow this comic republic of iran they're deeply misguided and i think the american people are ill informed about the reality because the media in the united states has control. by the leaders in those elites have their own interests as well as the marketing is talking points directly from ayatollah khamenei but i see a bright future for you ron i think you dickless are seen more as a deposed or. i see
12:14 am
a monster with the united states because of the problems and maybe it will really work out a resident. i don't think so now where you know people are flocking. around the united states to america population don't suppose nobody really wants to go and live in iran. nations between the united states in the philippines are being tested again after minute to to scrap a decades old security agreement that allowed american forces to train in the country washington's called the move unfortunate but the philippines accuses the united states of clan the star in military activity and allegedly storing nuclear weapons in the country the decision comes after one of president or territories top commanders was denied a u.s. visa and the so-called visiting forces agreements been in place since 999 and it allows american troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines our senior correspondent i guess dear takes a look at how a defense pact has descended into a war of words. a long story short the philippines had
12:15 am
a major major drug problem the people decided that desperate times call for desperate measures. i don't orthodox president under whom thousands of dealers and even addicts were killed the united states didn't like this one thing led to another and another then another but i have seen some of those colorful statements in the past. and so clearly he's a colorful guy i am president of a sudden state. and we have long ceased to be gloating. i think it seems to be. just. a habit. a way of speaking for him instead of. one communal state department. you can work with. mr obama you're going to want. the philippines used used to be
12:16 am
an american colony the key here is used to be something that they believe a bomber didn't understand copy pleasant being lectured and talked down to by your former colonial masters president that that day told me in a recent interview i'm in. america it's not the philippines and if we libyans maybe . maybe feel still dove the. american foreign policy. that along came trub similar leaders both unafraid to say what they think both hated obama both resisted beijing's south china sea claims but then the debt they made friends with china america introduced separate sanctions against filipino officials do tell day 2 are up a military treaty will allow in the united states to train its troops it is country
12:17 am
back to rock bottom eventually. been made there and made by. the minute. i asked him in january why what can china or russia give you that america. and the president's answer was very simple nothing except that. you'll respect the sovereignty. because a bet it doesn't want to look. because when we were under them began for 50 years and believed to have defied the below. for we got very independence we went to war against them. saw. if you're going to fight then a good. posture from the america. i going to get it from the rest
12:18 am
and the. attorney. time is a government it's because in their respect this of in the of the country which america is not the only openly lucky it's not only friendly beings but all the door they do not respect so vote in peace with each believe that the attorneys are the gifts lot over jewel it is just use absolutely necessary that the us be an affront to our sovereignty and it is a reminder to remain in the united states we hope that money alone will not backtrack on this termination and we hope that the u.s. government will not extrude any more pressure on the philippines on a congress this term initially but it's it's really too much intervention already for glass 2 decades on the united states and this is the 1st time that the east
12:19 am
will try to wash stand on its own minus any are just routine and states. with almost all the votes counted now in the u.s. state of new hampshire bernie sanders looks set to claim victory in the 2nd round of the democratic presidential candidate race however the vermont senator has a real battle on his hand from paper to judge and president trump like knowledge that could have could have a tough to win reelection in november given sanders growing support. frankly i would rather run against bloomberg then bernie sanders because senators are as real followers where they are like them or not whether you agree with them i happen to think it's terrible what he says but he has followers as buying his way in meanwhile 2 more democratic hopefuls have dropped out colorado senator michael bennet entrepreneur and drew yang that leaves 9 in the race as vice president joe biden cancelled his new hampshire event instead going on the campaign trail in south carolina biden and his nearest rival elizabeth warren failed to win any
12:20 am
delegates in of the 1st primary race for the democratic nomination started in iowa last monday descended into chaos and confusion when results were delayed for almost 2 days over a reported floor with a mobile vote counting at that time a beauty judge just took it from bernie sanders by a small margin again and to the backdrop of that vote the senate acquitted president trump in his impeachment trial but despite that saga coming to an end the democrats were too quick to claim that donald trump old tricks again putting. your president trump thinks he can get away with anything he will try to cheat again we all know who he is as china ask north korea ask russia or whom ever to do he will ask them all to investigate the democratic nominee. alive now and to lawyer new york city council candidate monica law so welcome to our so again we go to judge a running closer for a 2nd time is this going to play out neck and neck in every state. i mean who knows
12:21 am
i feel like politics nowadays anything can happen but it seems like that's how it's sizing up and what's interesting the way i look at this is that this is really a progressive candidate against a centrist candidate and it's they're both sort of fighting for the soul of the democratic party and it's actually the fight that the party should whether to be transformed you know so it is really the party of the working people and not corporations or issued state status quo very centrist and i think what you're seeing and with sanders really new hampshire. i think you're seeing that americans they want transformative change for the analysts these early polls level symbolic than indicative of who do you think's going to really take the nomination eventually. i mean you know just sanders has a real following and i think what's interesting with sanders has and he's really
12:22 am
created a social movement again i feel you know it's interesting i just listen to chris matthews on m s n b c and what he seems to say and what many people seem to say is that people are really hurting in america 'd and also it's just that people are you know they're there for their fathers and mothers had a better life than they had and it's almost like american now it's like so unaffordable you know so you know people are really hurting and they're looking for a candidate that can actually give them some kind of relief and i think that's why sanders is so popular is that he offers he's offering these troops that are transformative proposals. 3 free tuition for public colleges combat in climate change a green new deal a federal jobs guarantee taxing corporations so they pay their fair share and these are things that you know the people who really have it haven't heard much but he has had consistently the same message for 40 years so i think people are gravitating towards that and people want that kind of change and all of this is
12:23 am
going to echoes of 26 thing politically that feels like a lifetime ago in the united states so how much of a reality that is this for the democrats that saunders is surging past most of the party centrist candidate. well i mean it's interesting i mean the mainstream media event tonight when sanders is winning they're very quiet you know like nobody is like jumping up and down the jubilee that's into this one and all the mainstream media america they're still talking about 'd you know what senators that want not know who to judge and so it's interesting you see there there is definitely a spin. and i you know i do i think this should be a wake up call to the democrats and i think you know especially the younger voters them. you see that he really has a real following and when trump said that he would rather run against bloomberg than sanders you know he's right politically he's a student he knows like who is real rival would be in that would be burned sanders
12:24 am
like a dog with a bio mother democrats already speculating about trump on foreign meddling again just to wake up to that impeachment trial fall flat. oh i'm sorry what do you think the democrats are again speculating about donald trump on foreign meddling i mean a week after that impeachment trial fell flat well because you know this is what they do i didn't say. the democrats really what they should do is you know talk about the real issues but instead they're you know going back to that. just a day ago a u.s. news has likened saddam's possible presidency to a dictatorship with quote executions carried out in central park now another u.s. news channels do get lively but my apologies the media viewing this as almost like mageddon. i mean that's that that's absolutely ridiculous you know for for a candidate to talk about universal health care so everybody can be covered in had
12:25 am
health care and you know live in dignity and not had that anxiety that you don't get health care at that armageddon i'll eat my hat but i think that's just fear mongering as i mentioned earlier kind of some just dropped out of the race to expect the likes of tulsa gabaldon the supposed war and even joe biden to follow suit. you know we'll see you know people are talking about so now carolina people are talking about you know how you have here is a little bit different in south carolina because the independent vote. is very strong there and there is an expectation that bernie would do well but you know let's see what happens when he goes into the more southern states. and it'll be interesting to see so. you know for me personally i vote i vote for a candidate that has the scene and that i feel that will give the people the most relieved and for me that person is bernie sanders and you know i'm hoping that the rest of america and we'll see what happens it's still early days but these are the
12:26 am
closely watched ones all right for now new york city council candidate money the last of thanks for talking to us thank you. thanks for the 1st time in nearly 100 years irish politics has seen a break from the usual domination of 2 parties in general election shouldn't fame a left wing populist party took 24.5 percent of the vote in a landmark moment for the country a stunning victory saw the party almost double the seats in parliament from 2016 the sinn fein has been historically associated with the irish republican army the ira which was accused of a number of terror attacks indeed carried many of the act however it still stands for the reunification of ireland which has been put back in the spotlight recently with it and while winning the popular poll it didn't secure all the all important majority now the party's leaders hoping to form a ruling coalition current irish prime minister and leader of the centrist party has expressed his discontent at having to hold talks with fein assays i was going underground has been speaking to a shim fame member about the party's current surge in popularity. but shouldn't and
12:27 am
we're among the 1st people to start talking about special designated started and when i started the conversation michel this happened around the borders. i suppose although i didn't see that there was a certain degree on. agreement between m.r. of the political parties in the south and particularly with the european union in relation to how important ireland was how the border was going to create difficulties for the people who were trying to bring about breakfast but what i see is that breaks it has probably changed a lot of people's minds across the north and south of ireland probably even some people in britain in relation to their logical sense that we would have also always said in relation to regular boat irish unity and you know what unity in is talking about at the minute is that there will be some element of sense of the planning we've cause for a citizen's assembly whereby all the stakeholders could mais and could discuss what
12:28 am
a united ireland would look like how we would have the police in a position for everybody and us and then beyond that we need to ensure the planning of course this conversation has started the genie is out of the bottle so it doesn't make sense not to be prepared. you can see more of that interview in going underground later today here on our tape that's the way it looks for this hour thanks for watching it accept for me in moscow new zealand just over half an hour from now after we've had firsthand what it's like to live in the shadow of gang culture in one of al aids poorest suburb.
12:29 am
we know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do it and so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies.
12:30 am
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. will somehow want to press. you to go on to the press this is what before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. that's suitable. this is a murder that it was caught on video a murder was committed by the great street crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street crips killed another great street crips oftentimes gang members go by colds and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang member.
