so why use it in the west bank in the west bank? well, there are no such drones. there is no forest like come us, which can mount such a mess. it. but the in the west bank, the expectation is that the squad or individuals will try to penetrate or ambush and against them, the system is supposed to be more effective, fell asleep. 100 suggests another reason why israel would use a questionable security system in the west bank. we know that it's going to be sold to other companies because there is one of the new counters in the world that says security systems to other countries. so we are elaborate for, is there a way out of the best feelings, or is there any refund for is there any companies you know, we've been companies best on us as far as the news because our lives for the is there any government doesn't matter for the commission, it doesn't matter so they can do whatever they want, no matter the motives, the question remains, will it sparks move? islands will make the west bank safe the, the deployment of the o, and you'll have system is still and it's planning

we have the bank of england meeting as well today. we start in the us where the central bank did what most analysts predicted and cut interest rates for the third time this year. but it was whatjerome powell had to say about next year — the chair of the federal reserve — that spooked markets. the rally on wall street came to a dramatic halt as investors digested the prospect of fewer rate cuts in 2025. so now in the worlds biggest economy the key lending rate is in a target range of 4.25 to 4.5%. that's despite us inflation hovering at around 2.7% which is some way above the fed's target rate of 2%. jerome powell explained the decision, suggesting it was a tricky balance to strike. i would say today was a close call but we decided it was the right call because we thought it was the best decision to foster the achievement of both our goals and the maximum employment price stability, we see the risks is resided and moving too slowly and undermining economic activity in the labour market and remove to quickly. we are trying to steer between those risks, so

with nbc, donald trump also said he had no plans to replace jerome powell as chairman of the us central bankviously criticised the federal reserve chair over interest rate levels. mr powell has said he would refuse to leave the position early if trump tried to oust him. let's speak now to the independent market analyst craig erlam. hello. i imagine market watchers are happy to hear that from the president—elect, that he will try not to change things at the central bank. absolutely. we have to remember last time he clashed with jerome powell we were in a period of low interest rates. these clashes were seen as not the right thing to do as opposed to something that could be severely disruptive. that is not what we have now. we have had years of high inflation. when trump is talking about tariffs which has already got people concerned about inflation the idea of removing the head of the central bank because he wants interest rates even lower, would cause much more disruption this time than during his last term so i think he has been probably well advised to steer clear of removing someone, caus

and one way or another, they're all bank rolled by the us and doing washington's bidding. to our layer, we heard from toronto, university professor side mohammed mirandi, who pointed out the timing of the terrace offensive and syria amid the seas. foreign lebanon is not a coincidence. be kind to file and then isis of groups that were stationed alongside the searing i could the occupied sir, and go on. they were supported by those rarely resumed their injured uh, militants, would be taken inside israel and for treatment and measure any regime would bomb. syrian forces often when they battled them near the border. and of course, we know that the americans let this whole dirty war again, syria, they supported different terrace groups, a jake sullivan, who is the current national security advisor of the president sat in an email on february, the 12th 2012 to hillary clinton. that in syria i, i'll kite is on our side. okay. the, the is on our side, meaning a decade after 911, the united states was working without guidance area. they were carrying out parent attacks and syria. a

blocked these individuals from enjoying the benefits of america, to traveling to our country and using our banking system and put their ability to travel and access to their assets at risk. these policies were influenced by the senators legislation that denied trade privileges to countries that blocked their citizens from emigrating. when jackson vanek was repealed, because its purpose had been accomplished, it was appropriate that that legislation was used as a vehicle to replace him. the original law focused on abuses in russia. in 2016, i authored the global human rights accountability act which expanded the legislation around the world. these laws had given birth to a whole new international legal framework for upholding human rights and deterring corrupt activists. the european union and other governments around the world have replicated the system. as of this year, the u.s. program sanctioned more than 654 in persons and entities. i have to underline online a really important point. these laws were not easy to pass. the pushback from russia alone was historic and continues to this day. it wa
