occupation the palestinian president rails against donald trump's middle east peace plan of the un security council saying it palestine apart in favor of israel. this is the state that they will give us which is like swiss cheese which of you will accept such a state. sitting on a powder keg greece takes over claims there fueling hatred and violence between residents and refugees we meet locals on one island the front line of the migrant crisis. behind this situation. we know they do this for money. to

stop the spreading of doomsday like scenarios over the coronavirus outbreak as people of asian descent find themselves on the receiving end of racism we hear about the abuse faced by londoners in chinatown. with headline news live 247 this is r.t. international from moscow. welcome to the program. the palestinian president has formally rejected donald trump's middle east peace plan aimed at resolving the israel palestine conflict it was described at the u.n. security council as a reward for occupation mahmoud abbas became metaphorical about where it leaves his state sovereignty. this is the state that they will give us which is like 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 the israeli american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic cooperation and the african union 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 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 plug. to negotiate even into this didn't finding their values to to the conflict. with the president. let's let the beats around the bush progress toward peace would not be made of longer than the. vision the. only when he steps down can either in the move fooled 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 into. exchange a lot of injuries took place it seems that this proposed peace plan is not leading

to peace and stability and it's not just palestinians who are unhappy with the so-called deal of the century the e.u. foreign policy chief and for skepticism over trump the plan and its ability to end the long lasting conflict in the middle east. peace proposals table 2 weeks ago really challenges need to a nation but i'm at this and it is difficult to see how this initiative can bring both parties back to the table we heard from a senior political advisor to president of us who says the palestinians are being offered next to nothing. 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 for peace. israel responsible for our security whatever. and share with us.

and take over all of the east jerusalem and stop giving any rights to the refugees there is nothing government really focused on our best to accept in the security council he was very clear. i want peace based on a 2 state solution i want to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want to court that which includes russia and the rubin union and the united nations and the united states but i will not submit to be knighted states and make it the sole oh not of this peace process because it is totally biased with israelis. to greece now where the migrant crisis has become a battleground between the authorities and n.g.o.s operating there as organizations are being 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. they're behind this bad situation we can understand the migrants but we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals setting fire to the fields and do it's destroying all the trees that we had here for years and years now. but yes the ngos are behind this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not all the same one makeshift camp in question is located on the island of less boss it was originally built to house a maximum of 3000 migrants but the number of people currently being kept there is 6 times higher than that and with little or no access to health care the un has called for urgent action 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

$74000.00 migrants reached greek shores more than half of them remain in makeshift camps scattered across various locations chris doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year we are at last boss has been a constant scene of protests since cameron established to handle the migrant influx large rallies often violent just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds the governor of the region as well as the president of maria village where the camps are 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 very active on the islands where the problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job with the help of the our government to help the people but also some of them are really very obscure n.g.o.s we don't know where they're coming from how they deal with the money where they receive by. from how they spend the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to right to control

all the sec to do so of this and this government has passed the new law in the parliament a few days ago i couldn't do it 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 in geos 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. he's asked several of the ngos in question to comment on the situation when we hear anything bad we'll let you know what their responses are. next the world health organization is urging the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the corona virus outbreak it's after reports emerged citing a medical expert from hong kong warning that 2 thirds of the world's population

could be at risk of contracting the disease. some concerning instances of transmission from people was not travel history to china could be the spark that becomes a bigger fires but no it's only a spark objective remains containment. and the corona virus which has now been named code with 19 has a mortality rate of 2 percent compare that to the sars epidemic back in 2003 that killed 10 percent of those who caught it and a more recent health emergency in africa the a bowl of virus which is also more deadly than the corona virus or gets the backdrop of panic and exaggerated reports people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of racist abuse around the globe we asked people in london's chinatown if they've noticed a change in attitude. unfair for a. lot of. people should be treated or paid on because. i think.

think you. put in people into a car to get into a box and think it's a big sweeping. terrible loss we feel. sadness so. wrong this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to be one of the most popular destinations by locals and tourists alike but today as you can see it's very quiet and the reason for that well after talking to locals and people on the streets they say it's plain and simple xenophobia the oldest chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your community a lot of people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. hear

a lot of complaints from the parents to chew up. children system and turn kids shouldn't hear hear from their own parents when the call of school or when they see chinese student or young children. but hear you because you might have a virus education for important the laws of important people understand that. the. global problem here so are the one thing the people with the thing that just because you're trying to or your piece of chinese your potential terrorists and what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work a normal guess what happened. beside me and i thought 1st of all as a mother because we were standing. consume it. the only part of the day i go to so for all to myself because i'm trying these and people think oh i mean he be

a potential carrier. and the way that we've documented the things that go on in the eastern world has always it's always been told like that anyway it's always been around a think the moment that something like this happens like there's a virus it just allows people to see the things that they're actually being fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they have these feelings anyway and it just gives people a platform to say what they want because this fear yeah i feel like it's a very boring time right now for the chinese people i feel like using the disease. way to be easier for this is just terrible. if it was someone from the usa i don't think people would treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treating chinese people and chinese students etc. i mean you can see that we see here the 1st 2 cases chinese today are the cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that.

you could be and human being can be can be carriers we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated the wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k. and there's no doubt that the effect on the british chinese community has had huge implications. r.t. . or u.s. tariffs are weighing heavy on one of france's most iconic products leaving wine makers pleading for help fisher reports suggest that the market is suffering significant losses let's go live to paris now our correspondent there shot the. french wine for jobs worldwide so how much of a hit is it taking because of what the u.s. is doing. well just imagine. the u.s. is the 2nd largest importer of french wine so the idea of this 25 percent tax that

was announced back in october and has been since slapped on those french wine products is really hitting the market for example we had some figures from the french federation of wine and spirits exporters say that since that tax was introduced they've see those exports plummet by some 33 percent and they're suggesting that the loss to their organizers their members could be something worth more than a $100000000.00 euros this year alone so they're very concerned they say that those tariffs of already hit somewhere winemakers so hard that they've cut jobs and some of even had to go into bankruptcy as a result of this now that tax was imposed by the u.s. following a decision by the world trade organization last year that the e.u. had in the given subsidies to the plane maker airbus and then those taxes were slapped on a range of european products but it really seems to be that the french wine makers

are the ones that are suffering now for example they have asked for this compensation port of around $300000000.00 euros they want that money to cover the losses from their losses so far but also to cover any tax increases the wind exporters say this was a political decision to give those subsidies to airbus and they've been caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with them and they're even more concerned that they could be even further tax hikes around the corner this is over the dispute between the u.s. and france over this so-called gaffe or taxes a tax on digital giants last month president machen tried to ease the pain and said you know what we are talking with us and we are going to look for a solution to this. we're demanding the creation of a 300000000 euro fund to compensate those who have suffered. well that is

not easing concerns because there is a suggestion that that 25 percent tax could be raised all the way up 200 percent and that many say would completely decimate the industry here now we are expecting an announcement in regards to that from the u.s. later this week city watch this space on that but many say even if that's avoided that and there is an agreement the damage has already been done and that's because french products of already lost shelf space in the u.s. market that was a market that took them years to conquer and they say reconquest of that market may just not be possible and about in the california producers rubbing their hands with glee over this for now in paris thank you. you're with r.t. from moscow on the way the outspoken president of the philippines has been roiled by a visa scandal he's taking his anger out on a defense deal with the united states it's a model story still ahead right after that.

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 so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies. show seemed wrong but all wrong just don't all. make you believe yet to shape our disdain to come to educate and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look

for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. thousands of iranians have turned out for an anti u.s. rally in the capital tehran which comes as the country marks the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution on tuesday as tensions spiral with the united states is a look back at how the republic was molded by events in the late 1970 s. .

it was around relations at a new low in early january after a top iranian commander was killed in an american air strike in baghdad that's that a week after that iran retaliated with missile attacks against u.s. bases in iraq addressing a radiance during the rally president rouhani struck a defiant tone. oh my god that is all 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 rain civilization. and we discussed washington's possible goals with a number of experts and asked whether there's any hope for the escalation as the

u.s. ramps up the pressure on terror from. i think. 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 economy it's a tension that 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 as one party or multiple parties are not in compliance so you see. to mend relations with the united states with full things through improvement of foreign policy or all things just going to get tough for us 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 i think the american people are ill informed about the reality because the media in

the united states is controlled by their leads and those leads. have their own interests as well as in 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 the iranians through with the united states because of the problems and maybe it will really work out a resident. i don't think so now who are you people are flocking. around the united states to america populate. the soldiers nobody really wants to go and live in iran. relations between the us and the philippines are being tested again after minute opted to scrap a decades old security agreement that allowed american forces to train in the country after one of president takes top commanders was denied a u.s.b. to washington called the decision to scrap the deal unfortunate but the philippines

accuses the united states of candor stine military activity and allegedly storing nuclear weapons the so-called visiting forces agreement been in place since 1909 and it allows american troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines our senior correspondent takes a look at how our defense pact has descended into a war of words. a long story short the philippines had a major major drug problem the people decided the desperate times call for desperate measures they elected to head an orthodox president under whom thousands of dealers and even addicts were killed the united states didn't like this one thing led to another then another then another but i have seen some of those colorful statements in the past. and so clearly he is a colorful guy i am president of a sudden state. and we have long ceased to be.

i think it seems to be. just. have a. way of speaking for him instead of. the state department. you can work with. mr obama you're going to. the philippines used used to be 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 it would be it's not a meeting. but maybe feel still dove. america board and. then along came trump similar leaders both unafraid to say what they

think both hated obama both resisted beijing's south china sea claims but then the day made friends with china america introduced separate sanctions against filipino officials do tend to tour up a military treaty will allow in the united states to train its troops it is country 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 caught 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. state. because when we

were under the americans for 50 years and believe the learn. before we got their independence we went to war against them. saw. if you're going to fight then that get. posture from the america and they can get it from the rest and the. chinese the. chinese government it's because they respect this over in the. of the country which america is not the only openly lucky it's not only freely beenz but so that all the door they go not the spirit so vote in peace with each believe that the termes are the gifts lot over jewel it is just that it's 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 congress mr minister and 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 police will try to stand on its own minus any are just really united states. bernie sanders has claimed victory in the 2nd round of the democrats' presidential candidate race in new hampshire however the vermont senator has a real battle on his hands from people to judge with support for sanders on the rise president trump signaled that he could have it tough to win reelection in november. practically i'd rather run against globe or venue bernie sanders because senators are as real followers where they are like them or not whether you agree with them or not i happen to think it's terrible what he serves but he has followers own version is buying his way and meanwhile 2 more democratic hopefuls

have dropped out colorado senator michael bennet and entrepreneur untrue yank that leaves 9 in the race barack obama's vice president joe biden canceled his new hampshire event instead of going on the campaign trail in south carolina biden and his nearest rival elizabeth warren have failed to win any delegates in the 1st primary. boyer a new york city council candidate money lost and told me that the average democrat supporter wants a major overhaul of the party. interesting i mean the mainstream media even event tonight when sanders is winning they're very quiet you know like nobody is like jumping up and down the jubilee that sandra swan and all the mainstream media america they're still talking about who to judge but it was senators that was not now who to cheer and so it's interesting you see there there is definitely a step in 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 have 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 winning new hampshire. i think you're seeing that americans they want transformative change next altie world news in just over half without any of them. i can't show you my face but i'm going to. in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. they get charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with his son of a $23.00. confined
