arguably shows in his donations he was a proponent of the supreme court's twenty ten citizens united decision that allowed big money to attempt to wriggle lections he said of the decision that it activated a sleeper cell of hedge fund managers against obama allowing them to use their capital to influence the debate and since then he's donated vast amounts of money to various political campaigns before maxing out his donations to trump at one hundred thousand dollars he raised money for two other twenty sixteen republican presidential candidates scott walker and jeb bush his head and also donated money to mitt romney in two thousand and twelve and call rueben twenty thirteen all donations that would have been illegal before the citizens united decision but despite his donations scaramucci has little to no experience in political combs aside from numerous appearances on the. fox network but if you're looking for a reason as to why trump scaramucci some point to its success in helping to force the resignations of staff from c.n.n. over an inaccurate story about his ties to russia trump advisors

following the decision made by the united states of america to transfer it's embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and a decision that considers the unified capital of israel in this decision by the united states of america contradicts all un resolutions especially the resolution by the peace and security counsel which the united states itself agreed to. these resolutions prohibit the transfer of embassies for the final negotiation. the united states itself is doing what was already prohibited and including the un peace and security but we witnessed aggressive, strong reaction from distant corners of the world and this is something that cannot be denied at all. demonstrations took place all over the world. also, we heard the voices of condemnation from all societies of members of the 14 members of the piece and security member counsel except for the united states, of course. all of them took negative positions against the united states in this particular. therefore there was need for actions by the islamic and the summit which president aired a one organized in an sample and decisions wi

region into a fire with multiple kinds that this decision would be an acceptable, would harm the contributions and would serve the extremist fanatics. the united states taking the decision of no longer be able to play the role of a mediator between palestine and israel. that process has come to an end. they will be an issue that will require all of the member states to identify a new name as the occasion was asked what he would resort to the united nations to further assess because we need to sit down and laid such a process with the impartial players instead of players taking sides. despite all of the security council resolutions, this decision was taken by the administration and those resolutions have never been by israel and that was the case, many repetitions were matt and all of the processes. i'm not sure if they received these, but to give you an example, from 1947 through today coming you can see the evolution of the palace union territory before 1947. of course you need to think about the 1913 when the british started taking actions and one entirely through the state of palestine and when we arrived at 1947, you can see a play see a p

we regret the decision announced by the president of the united states to recognize jerusalem as the capital of his room for in the going would be at the midst of the arab republic of egypt denounces the us decision to recognize jerusalem as the capsule of israel in. moscow met washington's decision with serious concerns well at the emergency session of the fifteen members of the united nations security council fourteen of those members stepped up and criticized the united states for its decision regarding recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and announcing that it would move its embassy now when nikki haley took the floor at the security council chamber she emphasized that trumps decision did not really have any direct impact on any borders or ongoing territorial disputes it was simply a recognition of the israeli capital being in jerusalem the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders the specific dimensions of sovereignty over jerusalem are still to be decided by the israelis and the palestinians in a negotiation finally and critically the united states i

now what made the meeting unique was not only did we hear normal critics of the united states condemning the decision but we also heard you know western european allies of the u.s. nato states condemning this action by the united states and boldly disagreeing with the usa for critical of the international community for the proposed resolution now in response to the united states we have seen a statement from the palestinian authority the palestinian authority has accused the united states of essentially mocking the international community with their decision to move their embassy and recognize jerusalem israel at this point even though fourteen members of the u.n. security council supported this resolution the single vote from the united states caused it to be vetoed and prevented the resolution from passing the entire chamber was united against a single member of the united states voting for a resolution before monday's session at the u.n. the israeli president praised the american view to he says that nikki haley quote lit a candle of truth and dispel the douglas. troops moved to recognize jerusale

law now what made the meeting unique was not only did we hear normal critics of the united states condemning the decision but we also heard you know western european allies of the u.s. nato states condemning this action by the united states and boldly disagreeing with the usa for what took place so this is actually the u.n. ambassador of france. there are negative effects on the region caused by the december sixth announcement and the way it can be interpreted these effects must be avoided we call on all regional players to help calm the situation. now nikki haley the u.s. ambassador took to the floor and she defended the actions by the united states the united states has been the primary supporter of israel and when she spoke she said that the united nations should be ashamed of this proposal that was put forward she was ashamed of the vote which had taken place she accused the united nations of not being supportive of israel of being anti israel and she was harshly critical of the international community for the proposed resolution what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it wo

decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is the sovereign right of the united states she also declared it as an insult once again that this vote is taking place just as she described the security council vote earlier this week fourteen to one prevented by the u.s. veto as an insult she also reiterated her mantra that we shall remember that veiled threat that she has a primate in a letter to all members the three that president trump made publicly saying that they would consider the u.s. would consider financing their areas country should they vote in favor of this motion we heard from the turkish foreign minister there very very strong attack on what he called utterly shameful tactics by the united states in terms of trying to buy votes from members as he put it he said that to be strong is not to be right so as you mentioned the clear divide in the first few speakers in terms of the approach to this issue and if i may just add what the resolution is precisely it is very similar to the text of the security council resolution that the u.s. vetoed on monday it does not

security council strong defense there from nikki haley of the united states' position their decision that a veto that resolution which was attempting to nullify the united states' decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and also the announcement that the u.s. embassy would be moved there nikki haley saying the u.s. will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy she said the u.s. was never more committed to peace in the middle east than it is today and was strong words of suggesting that this whole vote of these fourteen other nations at the security council was an insult to the united states let's bring in mike hanna who's at the u.n. for us so really strong words there from nikki haley attacking the others at the u.n. security council but also the u.n. in general there what do you think that people will listen to those words that she that she put in defending that decision and the kind of the thinking behind it. well i think of to be recognize that as as happened in the past as the u.s. ambassador believes that attack is the best for defense she was def

not does not have any authority to change it and and to change anything and therefore big decision of the united states does not have any effect on the status of jerusalem. or any of the other or. otherwise for such is the america of just about just is the maker of force. but secondly that decision american decision is no more than a. that nation and forcibly impose in. occupation on the land. and it is in direct contrast with the international number three this decision undermines. confidence in the american administration in respect of the peaceful. negotiated settlement with the palestinian people and also it would make palestine and now the countries to reconsider their view of the american and astray shannen how much will they serve the interest. for the palestinians. east jerusalem as its. capital number for the. decision. europe. to isolate. america and israel and israel have in view of this become isolated in the whole world. when. we appreciate the stances by international countries but we do call upon countries that support peace of to refuse unequivocally the decision of the american

there was a small reaction from the united nations on friday when the security council met to discuss president trump's decision on jerusalem. u.s.ers included ambassador nikki haley as well as speakers from china, russia and britain. >> i give the floor to the representative of the united states. haley: thank you. the jewish people are a patient people. foreign conquest, exile and returned, jerusalem has remained their spiritual home. for nearly 70 years, the city of jerusalem has been the capital of the state of israel, despite many attempts by others to deny that reality. the american people are less patient. in 1948, the united states was the first nation to recognize the independent state of israel. in 1995, the u.s. congress declared that jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of israel and that the u.s. embassy should be located in jerusalem. presidents clinton, bush and obama all agreed with that decision, but they did not act. they delayed in the hopes that a peace process would produce. results that never came. for 22 years, the american people have overwhelmingly supported that position and th

eighty as well as well as general assembly resolution one eighty one the united nations has repeatedly declared that any unilateral decision that seeks to alter the characters status of jerusalem could seriously undermine current peace efforts and may have repercussions across the region as stated by the secretary general the united nations position is clear jerusalem is a final status issue which a comprehensive just and lasting solution must be achieved through negotiations between the parties and on the basis of the relevant un resolutions admission agreements mr president on december six us president donald trump announced that the united states recognizes jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel in this recognition he said the final status issues including the boundaries of israeli sovereignty remain for the parties to determine he made clear his commitment to a bum speech between israelis and palestinians and call for the status quo in the holy places to be respected denouncement also signaled the start of preparations to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem well renewing a six month waiver for whi

decision at the regional and international level. we meet today that because of any animosity towards the united states of america, but because of the decision which constitutes an aggression on the general international rights of the palestinian people and their nation and other christians of the world. an aggression on the status of jerusalem and the humanitarian and we would confirm that it will not impact the position in any way whatsoever. rather, it's naturally the status of the united states as a mediator piece. because it has failed in jerusalem despite our warnings and the warnings of the entire world not to to take this seriously in our warnings of the danger of taking any position and decisions that would inflame the feelings and contribute towards transferring a political solution they cannot be subway were without boundaries. so what does this decision served? answers the power of extremism and terrorism of religion of the world. you can imagine there be any credibility where jerusalem is excluded. they're in a voice that supports peace? that enjoys credibility that supports this decision? how has this been described not

ambassador to the united nations and she defended the decision by the white house to move the u.s. embassy she accused the united nations of being anti israel and called the proposed resolution scandalous this is nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations. what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten it's one more example of the united nations doing more harm than good in addressing the israeli palestinian conflict. now under rule thirty seven of the united nations any country that is affected by a resolution has the right to address the meeting of the security council so we heard from both israel and palestine and the palestinian representative basically accused the united states of joking with the international community or teasing the international community member now at this point we saw what is a rare occurrence in the un security council chamber there was a vote among the security council that was fourteen to one with the entire international community essentially united against the united states the usa voted against the

warmly as he arrived at the elise a palace emanuel mark karr has been a staunch critic of the united states' decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel after talks on the crisis mahmoud abbas's said the palestinians could no longer accept a u.s. peace plan. from the united states is no longer a credible mediator in the peace process we will not accept any plan on the part of the us because of the parties and failing and because of this violation of international law. macro has stepped up efforts to mediate in the crisis meeting with the king of jordan and israel's prime minister earlier this month he wants to try and help revive talks but he has ruled out unilaterally recognizing palestine as the state saying it would be unhelpful at this time these americans and the americans have marginalized themselves and i'm trying not to do the same thing i think france's credibility lies in taking a position as we have today where we can talk to everyone emanuel michael says he's using france's position as a country that has good relations with all sides to try and help and with the palestinians

the member country pushing against the united states's decision. personally, on this issue, i ted to agree with dennis ross who said this is a recognition of reality. i suspect that in the long-term history will prove this is the right decision to make. not just for the united states but for many other countries. the problem with not the problem. where i would push back is -- on nikki haily when she -- make comments about watching how you vote and -- sort of a very thin veiled threat to retaliate against counties that don't vote the way we want them to. there is a risk. i'm not saying she is not allowed do that or in the wrong. but saying that with. >> what is the risk? >> the risk is that the united nations who always been something -- the united nations for the united states has been a vehicle through which we exert our influence around the world. >> let me. >> that is right. i was saying before interrupted that it is that is why we have international organizations and the united states always been an active participate in them. >> i will step in

united states. the u.n. security council overwhelmingly backs a resolution to quote null and void donald trump's decision to make jerusalem the capital of israel but the resolution is vetoed by the united states. protesters take to the streets of the austrian capital vienna after a far right party takes key positions in the new coalition government. are getting to you my name is neil harvey you are watching r.t. international to start with breaking news story let's bring you up to date with this because there's been quote multiple fatalities following track train derailing from a bridge over interstate five which is a major commuter highway in pierce county washington state part of the train has been left dangling from the bridge you'll see in the photographs the situation there numerous passenger cars have fall onto the highway we have had fishel now reports of multiple faith tallaght many people injured amazingly the reports are that nobody in the vehicles has been killed in this incident but actually it was a passenger. within the train itself within that compartment that deal railed this was said during

since citizens united decision, our country has witnessed an unprecedented infusion of money into our elections mostly funneled by large corporations and billianaires. we did also submit one page on our ordinance, and i apologize. we're going to continue to work on this, but even here in san francisco, we included a graphic on the proportion of third party spending just in supervisory raced frs from 200 2016. last year, in 2016, it made up 54% of all spending in supervisorial raced. so our goal is really, to the best of our abilities, increasing transparency and disclosure requirements, both for them and third party committees. it's a very difficult task because as you create more requirements, people find more loopholes, as well, so we're doing our best to continually update and strengthen the requirements that we have. and so the highlights of the legislation are this: one is to ensure campaign material will now include information on original source of funds, whether it's personal or business income for personal expenditures, and to ask that they list their top dope ors of more tha

the united states needs to reverse course it needs to change its decision the reality is that isn't going to happen donald trump doesn't really care very much about what the international opinion is we know that because before he made his decision he received calls from several world leaders and none of them were able to sway him this has been done for basic domestic purposes donald trump said he wanted to do and in his speech there was that very trumpy a moment where he said that many presidents have thought about doing this but they never had the courage that was donald trump seeing cobra of i am and as far as he's . it's ticking something off that he talked about during the presidential campaign so the protests can continue the international delegations can urge the americans to change their mind president abbas the palestinian president abbas me well meet mike pence the vice president although he says he's reluctant to do that in the moment he will meet or what he said in the next. day when he's in the in the area in the next week or so a but it's not going to change donald trump's mi

decision for peace and security in the region and on an international level. anyeet today not because of animosity towards the united states of america, but because of this decision which on theutes an aggression general and natural rights of the palestinian people to the nation -- and the arab and all the muslims and christians of the world. an aggression on the status of jerusalem, its religious and humanitarian -- will not impact the status and position of the holy city in any way whatsoever. rather, it naturally affects the status of the united states as a mediator of peace. failed in the theft of jerusalem despite our warning and the warnings of the entire world not to take the steps seriously and our warnings of the danger of taking any position and 80 decisions that would inflame -- and contribute towards transferring this solution, a political solution that can be solved, to a religious war that has no boundaries. serve?es this decision the israeli government in implementing its colonial plan. it serves the powers of extremism and terrorism in the world. who could imagine that there would be any credibility

decision today, u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley. great to have you with us. >> a big day. >> martha: former presidents have suggested they wanted to do this, they ultimately decided it was good in theory but too dangerous and practice. what changed? >> what's interesting is, it's not just former presidents but the american people. in 1995, the american people, through the members of congress, said they wanted to acknowledge jerusalem and they wanted the embassy moved there, like we do in every other country, having the embassy of the capital. what happened is, president after president kept being told, don't do it, don't do it, you'll mess up the product to make peace process. 22 years later, we haven't had a peace process. what the president did today, one cannot listen to the will of american people. they just unanimously voted again to do this. he listened to the american people. more importantly, he made a symbolic move to say, we are committed to the peace process. we are committed to seeing israelis and palestinians come toget

and united states taking such a decision would no longer be able to play a role of a mediator between palestine and israel i think that's that process has come to an end to the. mediation question here. will be. an issue that will be choir the joint discussion by all of the r.c. member states in order to identify a new name. and if the occasion were to ask for it we should resort to the united nations in order to further assess this question because we need to sit down and lead such a process with the impartial players instead of players taking sides despite all of the united nations security council resolutions. that this decision was taken by the us administration and those resolutions have never been respected by the israel. when that was the case many repetition is were made. and. all of the. process he seemed to have always figured israel. i'm not sure if the members of the president see these maps but if i need to give you an example. he used that firm ninety four to seven o two today you can see the evolution of the palestinian. territory in the night before nine hundred forty
