4:02 am
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 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 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

4:04 am
so-called to the end of the century it's proving divisive in brussels as well there the e.u. foreign policy chief voiced his skepticism over trump's plan and its ability to end the long lasting conflicts in the middle east all stating that the majority of e.u. members don't consider the plan to be a good starting point. their proposals table 2 weeks ago really challenges the international look great but i mean this and it is difficult to see how this initiative can bring both parties back to the table. the u.s. plan seeks to keep jerusalem is israel's undivided capital and promised to double palestine territory as well as provide $50000000000.00 investment to the palestinian state we heard from a senior political advisor to president abbas is unconvinced and says they're being offered next to nothing. this is not a deal this is an attempt to liquidate the palestinian problem give it
4:05 am

greece now where the migrant crisis has become a battleground between the authorities and n.g.o.s operating there as organizations 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 they are leeches and these practices must end all of this contributes to illegal migration the island of los boss has been a constant scene of protest since camps were established to handle the migrant influx large rallies have often turned violent just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds we've been asking local residents who agree with the government and worse n.g.o.s are feeling the situation. we all know what. they're 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 and
4:07 am
you do it 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 it one makeshift camp in question is located on the island of less bought it was originally host a maximum around 3000 migrants but the number of people currently being held there is 6 times higher and swift little or no access to health care the un's calling for urgent action stressing that the camp should be moving some of those residents out 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 surrounds $74000.00 migrants reached greek shores more than half of them still remain in makeshift camps scattered across various locations or small greece doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year the governor of the region as well as the president of the village where the
4:08 am
camps located say some n.g.o.s do help ease the crisis. we have about 450 n.g.o.s active in and around the country many of them are very active on the islands where the immigration problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job and they help the our government they help out 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 strict 3 and to right to control all the sec to do so of this and this government has passed a new low in the parliament a few days ago i couldn't do it's there will be a strict control of the indios it but according 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
4:09 am
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. lottie's asked several of the ngos working there to comment on the situation and since we hear anything back from them we'll let you know what their responses are. next thousands of iranians have turned out for an anti us rally in the capital to which comes as the country marks the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution tuesday as tensions spiral but the united states has a look back at how the republicans molded by events in the late night and seventy's .
4:10 am
us around relations at a new low in. early january after the top radio commander he was killed in an american air strike in baghdad less than a week after that iran retaliated with missile attacks against u.s. bases in iraq addressing iranians during the rally president rouhani struck a defiant tone. oh my god that. 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 iranian civilization as we discuss 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. do you see
4:11 am
a chance here for iran to mend relations with the united states with europe or things through improvement terms of foreign policy or all things just going to get tough for us things go on if the united states continues down this path that they will get nowhere with iran if they think that they can overthrow this comic proposed 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 leaders and those are leads have their own interests as well as talking points directly from ayatollah khamenei but i see a bright future for you ryan i think you do it is hard for all of the deposed or isn't. i see they are a mystery with the united states is it because of the problems or maybe they don't really like that or as it is. i don't think so now where you try to treat people are flocking to. the united states to america populating terribly already i don't
4:12 am
suppose nobody really wants to go and live in iran 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 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 economy its and tension is to make ordinary people suffer i think president trouble stated very clearly in the policy is that iran will not develop. a nuclear program and he will do everything he can to stop the policy is not regime change but rather
4:13 am
a regime. for the current regime of kamini 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. world health organization is urging the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the coronavirus outbreak it's after reports of citing a medical expert from hong kong warning that 2 thirds of the world's population could be a risk of contracting the disease. some concerning instances of only war transmission from people we know travel history to china could be the spark that becomes
4:14 am
a bigger fire but for no it's only a spark objectivity remains containment the corona virus which has now been named a covert 19 has a mortality rate of 2 percent a compare that to the sars epidemic back in 2003 that killed 10 percent of those who caught it and the more recent health emergency in africa the a bowl of virus was also much more deadly than the corona virus against 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. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or hated on. or in people into a crowd to get into a box and think it's a dangerous way of thinking this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to
4:15 am
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 elders chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work as normal guess what happened. beside me and i thought 1st was the. matter because we were standing normally. sit on the part of the day. because i'm trying these and people think oh i mean he be a potential carrier. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your
4:16 am
community people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear a lot of complaining from the parents the children got picked up. children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when the call school or when it's each other's student or young children these are so the you you because you might have a virus education for important laws of important people understand that. the. transport and the global problem here so are the one thing the people with the thing that's just because you're trying to or you're peter chinese you're prudence who carries. 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 that there is a virus it just allows people to say the things that they're actually have been fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they have these feelings anyway
4:17 am
and it just gives people a platform to say what they want because this fear and i feel like it's just a very boring part 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 treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treated chinese people and chinese students etc. i mean you can see that we are the 1st to chinese to. english people come from singapore so you can see that. you could be an human being can be can be kariya we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated another wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k.

as the election cycle rages on the media highlights or even invents what they deem to be important even radical what they don't tell you is how the political center is collapsing today's campaign is what voters think about the status quo. relations between the u.s. and the philippines are being tested once again after mandela opted to scrap a decades old security agreement that allowed american forces to train in the country washington's called it unfortunate but the philippines accuses the united
4:20 am
states of clandestine military activity and allegedly storing nuclear weapons and the decision comes after one of president to top commanders was denied a u.s. visa 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 takes a look at how a 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 had 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 and another then another have seen some of those colorful statements in the past. and so clearly he's a colorful guy i am the precedent of a sub veteran's day. and we have long ceased to be
4:21 am
a. boardroom and. i think it seems to be. just. a habit. way of speaking for him instead of. state department. you can work with. mr obama you're going with. 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 they told me in a recent interview i'm an. american the philippines and if the libyans maybe. in the name. of maybe feel still dove the. american
4:22 am
foreign policy. then 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 tour military treaty will allow in the united states to train its troops it is country back to rock bottom. eventually. we made their inmate time. limited. to train i asked him in january why what can china or russia give you that america can't and the president's answer was very simple nothing except that. you will respect the sovereignty. because abetted that 1000 years to look.
4:23 am
state because we were under the americans for 50 years and believe of the learn before we got their independence we went to war against them. so. if you're going to fight then that get good. posture from the americans are going to get it from the rest and the. chinese the. chinese government it's because they respect this of the. of the country which america. it's not the only openly lucky it's not the only be fairly bins but all the door they've gone up this very solvent before he believe that the attorneys are the gifts lot over jewel it is just it is absolutely necessary that the us be an affront to our sovereignty and it is
4:24 am
a reminder to remain a new colony of the united states we hope that money alone will not backtrack on this termination and we hope that the u.s. government would not extract 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 east will try to stand on its own feet minus any crutches for be united states. us tariffs are weighing heavy on want to france's most iconic product and even wine makers pleading for help official reports suggest that the market is suffering significant losses here's a front correspondent shot at the betty. well just imagine that 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
4:25 am
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. 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 euros this year alone so they're very concerned they say that those tariffs of already hit somewhere why make it so hard that they've cut jobs in 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 you 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 that french wine makers are the ones that are suffering we're demanding the creation of
4:26 am
a 300000000 euro fund to compensate those who have suffered they want that money to cover the losses from their losses so far but also to cover any tax increases the wine 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 the so-called gas attacks this is a tax on digital giants so last month president machen try 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. discussion with gold trump and digital tax to go on the good agreement to avoid tariff or school ation. 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
4:27 am
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 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 that market may just not be possible. bernie sanders has claimed victory in the 2nd round of the democratic presidential candidate race in new hampshire however the vermont senator has a real battle on his hands from people to judge and with support for some of those on the right is president trump's acknowledging that he could have a tough to win reelection in november. frankly i'd rather run against bloomberg than 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
4:28 am
says but he has followers bloomberg is buying his way. meanwhile 2 more democratic hopefuls have dropped out of colorado senator michael bennet entrepreneur and yang that leaves 9 in the race as of now 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 who failed to win any delegates in the 1st primary let's get to work thank you lawyer in new york city council candidate monica lassoed told me that the average democrat supporter wants a major overhaul of the party interesting i lead the mainstream media even even the night with the enders is winning their theory why you know like nobody is like jumping up and down to believe that this moron and all the mainstream media america . you know we're serious now. now look at you and so it's interesting to see there there is definitely a still this is really
4:29 am
a progressive candidate against a centrist candidate and if 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 shoot state it's 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 and that's it for now all our channels are streaming live right now online at all t. dot com you can also find more of our great programs next news update from the team here in moscow and you just have to see. 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 so
