You for watching the headlines here at r. T. International broadcasting live from moscow im Kate Partridge and we start with some breaking news the Saudi Led Coalition has reportedly shot down a Ballistic Missiles are targeting the royal palace in riyadh local media reports claim hoochie rebels in yemen were behind the attack a rebel spokesman confirmed the launch of a missile targeting the your mama palace there have been no reports of casualties though no official statement has so far been released from the saudi officials. Meanwhile in the last two weeks alone as strikes in yemen by the Saudi Led Coalition have left one hundred fifteen civilians dead and eighty three injured. Out of them out of the movies destroyed everything around even in the neighboring villages our we can rely only on coin people they see us Drinking Water tankers one of two tankers is not enough even for the ten found many of them. Were living happily carrot on the side of the airstrikes began their hearts but no one helped us here i know you see or heard no the mattresses no building of the children. But in the meantime the u. K. s promised to provide more emergency aid to the country britons International Development secretary penny mordant says said saudi arabia has no excuse for cutting access to she managed care in aid in yemen it is very clear that if you are using starvation as a weapon you are in breach of International Humanitarian law i very much understand the strategic importance of our relationship with saudi arabia but we do not help that relationship by not speaking about the facts of the matter if the right to be a breach of International Humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty. Well an additional fifty Million Pounds in the eightys being made available to yemen taking the u. K. s total for both this house next year to two hundred five million but that pales in contrast to the volume of u. K. Arms sales to saudi arabia since the start of the conflict britain sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to riyadh. Well shabby alaska from the stop the War Coalition thinks the only way the u. K. Can really help yemen is to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia one saudi arabia started its war in yemen in the first few months of the war britains arms sales to saudi arabia went up by a thousand percent during the course of this war despite the evidence from human rights organizations that those weapons have been used in war crimes it has been admitted that British Forces are part of the joint operations. Command in saudi arabia theyve been part of Training Forces of picking targets so theyre very much accountable these war crimes or this this blockade has been discovered yesterday its been going on for a long time and you know weve seen how the British Government have reacted to that i think if britain really wanted to help the people of yemen then they should stop supporting saudi arabia stop selling their weapons stop giving them diplomatic cover. The u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations has vetoed a draft resolution to reject Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital that we expected it was the first time in six years america has used its veto power at the u. N. Security council but the u. S. Stood alone without the support of even its strongest allies. With the duty bill of the draft resolution please read to hand. Those against. In favor one vote against the studies of jerusalem as the future capital of two states should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and the decision and actions which purport to alter the car status of jerusalem have no legal effect any unilateral actions increase the risk of escalation of the conflicts we support the just cause of restoring energies from a National Rights of the Palestinian People good to go out into school isnt going to become. Get out of control Un Security Council was called to a meeting by egypt now egypt put forward a resolution that essentially intended to give legitimacy to all the outrage that has taken place around the world sans donald trump and the United States recognize jerusalem as israels capital 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 that nikki haley the u. S. Ambassador took to the floor and she defended the actions by the United States 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 the accusation that the United States is setting back the prospects of peace in the middle east that is a scandalous charge what we witnessed here today in the Security Council is an insult. It wont be forgotten the fact that this veto is being done in defense of american sovereignty and in defense of americas role in the middle east Peace Process is not a source of embarrassment for us it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the Security Council that 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 unrecognized or roussillon israels capital. However the u. S. Did find some support israels Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu was quick to praise the american veto thank you. Im hard to go look like america if you live the kind of truth you disco darkness one defeated the many. Defeated mas thank you president roh thank you. But analysts we spoke to based in israel and palestine and surprisingly had contrasting views a bunch the us peter. Ive been surprised that so many countries have decided that instead of taking the palestinians to the Security Council to discuss why they decided to react to trumps announcement by firing rockets at israeli kindergartens instead theyve decided to take israel to the Security Council what they should be doing is encouraging the palestinian leadership to return to the negotiating table were donald trump in his announcement did not rule out whatsoever there being a pastor in capital in East Jerusalem hes just reflected the reality that for three thousand years the United States was expected to come up with this veto but none of that is its very significant sure and. The rest of the world. Is asserting the fact that this american decision is illegal jerusalem has been israels capital it can still happen violence is not the way to bring it about in the history of this process the americans were too biased and less since that of to the International Legality which was a major structural defect in this Peace Process that isnt of this is that we are witnessing the end of the role of the United States as a sponsor to this process which is i think a very dramatic and a very important setback for the american middle east policy ive lived here and seen how theres been Peace Process is over the last thirty years that have all tried the same thing and its failed the palestinians and the International Community should be celebrating that donald trump is taking a different approach that has not failed and maybe can lead to a real Peace Process that can move forward. In berlin a commemoration ceremony has been held in memory of those killed in last years Christmas Market attack relatives of the victims as well as those who survived the atrocity laid flowers and lit candles at a memorial erected at the site of the attack chancellor Angela Merkel was also there he admitted the country could have handled the situation for. Yesterday i spoke with the relatives of the victims and the injured in the attack it was a normal conversation that showed what weaknesses our state showed and this situation. Germany is Justice Minister has also admitted the countrys government wasnt sufficiently prepared for the consequences of such a literal such a major oliver looks back at last years tragic event and speaks to some of those who lost loved ones in the attack. A year on from the berlin Christmas Market attack tributes to the victims mixed in with the usual season this year concrete blocks ringing the Christmas Market intended to make sure that no one could repeat the atrocity. Now teaches model that stopped by the Christmas Market like many others that evening she was killed when armory plowed the stolen truck into the crowd leaving behind a grieving husband and young son. It was when i called in there was only information that shes not on the list so i didnt know anything either because the official statement was that she was missing. But of course it was known to the police that she was dead he was pretty determined not to have any information at all this is really bad loser you are our actually how you telling your son about what happened tell you preparing him for me when hes all much older he will understand a lot more about this talk of how this is of course this is not easy because he doesnt understand it fully yet. And this will change definitely he will ask questions so i try to answer all his questions as best i can. So thats probably the only thing i can do for maybe we can try to look into it to find out what happened actually i would be interested myself. But. The question is how successful can the. West. Us too painful to go to really for this anniversary so we preferred to commemorate our girl here where she was born and grew up there is no amount of money that could offset the death of my daughter now amount. New documents have emerged in the german press that show the Security Services knew omri was a potential terrorist threat back in twenty fifteen and may have allowed him to remain at large in the hope of using him to catch biggest fish. In open letter to angola merkel the families have asked why help promise to them hasnt been forthcoming and why amery has been free to carry out his attack in the first place what im really angry abroad is actually what happened before the to terrorist act. Is pretty known that this person is dangerous and still the authorities didnt. Arrest him didnt work here for some reason what bugs me also is that nobody actually. Actually took the responsibility. Its still you know everybody is doing their own work still over time if Nothing Happened germanys Christmas Markets remain on high alert but for the families of those killed and injured during last years terror attack its left an indelible sadness on the festive period piece rather arty berlin. Despite the rise of global extremism it appears terrorist guidelines and bomb making instructions are still easily Available Online check in there has been surfing for such material. In less than ten minutes i was able to find multiple gods published by terrorist organizations through Google Searches clearly outlining how to make a bomb weve chosen not to show nor name the handbooks we found but they included step by step instructions in english from both al qaeda and Islamic State and within them you can find lessons on kidnappings or carrying out various types of assassinations using explosives and the problem is and they will confine this information including those hoping to put it to use the bomb used in last weeks new york subway attack included home or components of these readily available terrorist manuals. Feeling very scared. I think its kind of normal for these times or particularly in new york city which is targeted many times and its the new normal once a potential terrorist has the recipe for a homemade device that only leaves gathering the necessary materials and investigation back in september found that amazons algorithm was suggesting items that could be bought together in order to create a bomb that surface just days after an improvised device was detonated in the london underground. Not only got back from iraq i remember the sound explosion sound. Back in september amazon pledged to fix it algorithms but last time we checked just before reporting this piece it was still there these easily accessed terrorist materials have been on the internet for years already and google has made promises in the past to fight their availability. Commits to be part of the solution when working with government and Civil Society groups to tackle the problem of stream is the place whats at risk on suns surfaces that statement came back in june of this year and yet just this monday britains the independent news website released a report outlining how they alerted google to the fact that their algorithms could provide extra. Dangerous materials and yet saw no change in the search result days later clearly despite the companys willingness to tackle terrorists content its own algorithms are failing with websites making a u. R. L. Making a website all of these things online anybody can just start a new one so say for example you are a website that has the terrorist content or activity thats problematic or can lead to criminal activity if they shut that down if google didnt allow that to come up in a search result another one could come up right after you not only look at things like google which would be the Search Engine that it was found on but now youre looking at things like the web site hosts so now these are other private companies not just Google Search engine but other private companies that have to now look at who is starting the u. R. L. What are they doing how do they make this website so in terms of google theyre going to be having it cut out in the algorithm cut out the search results is going to be much more difficult now some would have you believe that terrorists are lurking soley on the dark web which most of us would never even know how to access but it turns out theyre not quite as far away as one would hope cyberspace is the new Training Camp so individuals can find information about bomb making they can identify targets they can chat with their colleagues they can receive instructions they can receive inspiration if cyberspace flies underneath the radar screen of the police and in and Security Forces some of the Internet Companies the googles the face books and those can prevent that type of activity from coming into their space its a cat and mouse game its going to continue. And i want to say its a Mission Impossible but its a very very difficult to remove all still live with the free and open internet to remove all elements of hate and extremism well hes also cool to delete such search results so dangerous materials can be found and well update you with any developments. Hey everybody im stephen ball. Hollywood guy suspect. Proud american first of all im just george bush and r. V. This is my buddy max famous financial guru well hes a little bit different. In your windows up with all the drama happening in our country im shooting the brood have some fun every day americans. And we start to bridge that gap this is the Great American to. The world is a finite place and yet he marries capacity to generate garbage seems infinite oh my god how those two are going to work how do you square that circle. Welcome back donald trump has outlined his view of the world and americas role in its in a National Security speech and like his predecessors he is not letting go of the idea of u. S. Exceptionalism america has been among the greatest forces for peace and justice in the history of the world a strategy is to advance american influence in the world the American People are generous america will lead again when the American People speak all of us should listen. And defense secretary james mattis backs the president s security plan in a statement he said it will have the support of the worlds most lethal armed force which will ensure the u. S. Always speaks from a position of strength. Well the new strategy also sees russia and china as rival powers challenging americas influence in the world the two countries are also accused of developing advanced weapons that could threaten u. S. Infrastructure however trying did say attempts must be made to build partnerships with them or beijing has branded washingtons approach as outdated. We urge the u. S. To stop deliberately distorting china and are dated ideas such as a cold war mentality and Coalition Game otherwise a little hurt others and destroyed itself. Well lets discuss this issue further with joseph chang professor of Political Science at Hong Kong CityUniversity Professor chang thank you very much indeed for joining us i mean do you think that speaking from a position of strength there is with the keywords they still works for the u. S. I mean given the state of the current state of international affairs. Well the United States needs enemies of to put it more nicely strategic competitors. Are needed for the United States to to remain on the alert and to and to be able to muster enough resources to maintain the d. I thing china and russia understand this and this is also well recognized by Many Americans including the former secretary of state Madeline Albright or donald trump and ministration it is less concerned with human rights issues it made a lot more in words but in this First Defense budget it has increase of expenditure about almost ten percent and it is certainly very eager to secure economic concessions from is Major Trading partners meaning more jobs for the americans. Less trade deficit more investment from going into the United States keeping the u. S. Dollar. Weak and so on and also looking specifically well i mean what do you make of chinas role in trumps National Security plan. Well. Donald Trump Administration like most americans certainly consider the certainly considered china would be the most syrias most important competitor potentially in the future. And there is more subspecies of china exactly because it is not seen as a democratic country not seen to be supporting maintaining universal values even when japan poles and economic talents of the United States in the one nine hundred eighty s. Received very substantial our pressure from from the United States the time is leadership response in saying that you would like to have a new type of major probably latent chip of the United States meaning normally joe confrontations no major. Challenges and so on and they try to maintain they try to contain the differences while trying to prod more beautiful interests of parents for its approach has not been working very well i will leave it there professor of Political Science at Hong Kong City university thank you thank you for. The local elections in catalonia this thursday could decide the fate of the regions independent spirit the trade says the Secession Movement has been based on what it called post truth r. T. Charlotte has more. Yet. As betraying supporters when they call that independence referendum this year and she described that referendum as being a fake as lead by the scenarios he got the worst betrayal has been to catalyze who genuinely believed in independence because they were made to believe that it would come true when in reality it was all a big show a symbolic episode a fake in the full sense of the word back on october twenty seventh the catalonian government the Catalonia Parliament declared that catalonia was an independent state within an hour of that happening madrid took some very unprecedented steps and actually took control back of the region using a piece of legislation that had never been used before in the thirty years since it has been created now the deputy Prime Minister was then asked to take control of the region to spirituals these elections on december twenty first now she has accused the cats of land leaders the former leaders of that region of misusing public funds saying that they use public funds towards the goal of creating that independence referendum and she said by doing that there she neglected other areas such as the Judiciary Health and education now the spanish Prime Minister as we know also called back on october twenty seventh these new fresh elections which will take place on food stay at the same time the local government in catalonia was dissolved some of the separatist leaders were arrested and several other warrants were issued for the former catalan president carlos proves you want to actually travel to brussels where he remains a bating that european arrest warrant however he can still be campaigning this election day from his base now in brussels in belgium the reality is we dont know whether this election on thursday will play into the hands of the separatists again or will play back into the hands of the spanish Prime Minister it is a big gamble and they still could go either way. All about the latest headlines to save a half an hour singer that. Fears will people been saying about rejected in a video as exactly the law and author of the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch how to leave yampa is the john oliver of our three americas good to see we are apparently better than booth nothings better i see people youve never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank though theyre going to write me. Letters sent us an email. When i almost show seemed wrong. Why dont we all just dont call. Me old yet to shape out just a constant battle. And indeed trade equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. When lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. When the roman classism project over themselves. When the finance merry go round the lives only the one percent. Going or middle of the room signals. The room the real news is really the worst. Stomach. Hello im alex karras or this is the kaiser report you know the world is a finite place. A manatees capacitive generate garbage seems infinite oh my god how those two are going to work how do you square the circle so maxwell the circle is not being squared in fact theres a finite amount of space even in the Financial System where many think you can print an infinite number of dollars well china saying yankee go home to all american toxic waste whether it is actual trash trash garbage trash sort of stuff or trash us Treasury Bonds so they dont want any of them heres the first headline recycling chaos in us as china bans foreign waste and they set out to look at the classical virtue signaling sort of you know Portland Oregon couple and what it means to virtual signaling essentially its going to get a lot more expensive to signal your virtue like many portland residents such ish and arlene carr are serious recyclers their house is coated with recycled bluish white paint they recycle their rainwater compost their food waste and carefully separate the paper in plastic they toss out but recently after loading up their prius and driving to a sorting facility they got a shock.
