A very warm welcome youre watching r. T. International with mainak aaron good to have you with us this hour president trampin threatened to cut to aid to United Nations members who vote in favor of a rhetoric resolution condemning americas decision to recognize to receive them as israels capital. They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us while were watching those votes lead a vote against us will serve a lot now weve heard these threats from donald trump and weve also heard threats from nikki haley according to her twitter she will be quote taking names at the upcoming vote in the United NationsGeneral Assembly theres also a document thats been released the authenticity of this document is not yet been confirmed but it appears that the usa is threatening to cut off the aid of countries that vote against the United States at the upcoming General Assembly vote now this is going to be a nonbinding vote now this comes just a few days after we saw some drama at the United NationsSecurity Council resolution was put forward by egypt condemning the recent move of the United States recognizing jerusalem as israels capital and in response to that we saw it fourteen to one with every other member of the u. N. Security Council Voting against the resolution but the usa stepping in to veto it this is some of what occurred at the u. N. Security council of jerusalem as the future of. The should be determined through a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and a decision and actions which purport to the current term status of jerusalem have no legal effect to your any unilateral actions increase the risk of escalation because we support the just cause of restoring that youth menasha rights of the Palestinian People now the upcoming vote at the United NationsGeneral Assembly is along similar lines the resolution criticizes the recent move by the United States to recognize jerusalem as israels capital so as we see these threats from trump and these threats from nikki haley this talk of taking names this document claiming that donald trump will be taking it personally the way countries vote were forced to ask ourselves if u. S. Leaders are really acting diplomatically or if they are being reduced to rather threatening. Behavior in response to the upcoming vote in the General Assembly here at the headquarters in new york well turkey has hit back at what it calls threats from washington over the un vote ankara has called on its nato ally to change course. Well thats a new day of rage is declared by palestinians and a fresh wave of protests hits the city of bethlehem. Mass demonstrations also took place in the west bank city of ramallah protesters reportedly threw molotov cocktails and stones that soldiers responded with rep of bullets tear gas maria for national has been in the city for us. This is another day of rage here in the west bank city of ramallah the capital of Palestinian Authority to have been many days like this following the law trumps a controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinians as you know consider the eastern part of the holy city to be zero turturro and of course they have been encouraged dramatically by these announcements they have been violent protests all over the world among palestinians and those who sympathize with that and of course here in Palestinian Authority we hear that there are hundreds of protesters participating in todays the band again. Now. The officer is talking to journalists saying that we have to have to move if this is our ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you wouldnt. Well you can follow maria on twitter for all of her dates on the situation from ramallah. Now well check on palestinian man who died in clashes with Israeli Police is becoming a symbol of the resistance to President Trumps announcement on jerusalem the un human rights chief has called for an impartial investigation into his death as i have read al hussain added there is a strong suggestion that the force used against the victim was excessive heres a look at the events surrounding his death. With the list today my brother said to me while he was eating dinner with his brother forgive me this is the last night you see me as i intend to be a martyr im bored of this life i have no legs and i have nothing to do i want to die and rest from my. Thoughts that i was with him yesterday when he fell as a martyr brain wanted out from the beginning he was shot to the head between these hours so i was behind the bushes grew chair behind and. When i joined by political talk show host Brian Crabtree to discuss this further mr crabtree good to have you on the program now given the extreme hostilities were seeing between is one of the palestinians right now how do you see the protests going from here was it going to develop. Well we didnt expect this to go peacefully obviously the East Jerusalem area sort of been taken away from the palestinians but i think this is part of the way President Trump negotiates you take something away that is sort of assumed and then later in a negotiation he may give it back i dont think though its really the United States place to decide what the capital of jerusalem is but i find it shocking that after three american president s prior to trump said we need to move the embassy to jerusalem that such a move is creating such a disruption i mean thats our parag and in the United States just like israel a country has the prerogative choosing its capital theres far too much outside pressure i think around the world United States has been guilty of this in the past of telling other countries how to run their own business and i create conflicts like this so why do you think jim did decide to recognize to resubmit the capital of israel especially when its so obvious and apparent how damaging it would be for the Peace Process i think sometimes progress or the Peace Process sometimes requires breaking things down breaking it down and really kind of having rubble and picking it back up and putting it together listen weve not been able to make real good headway on this problem for decades now so i dont think there is a diplomatic solution that brings the israelis to the democratic nation you cant just negotiate with netanyahu and get it done youve got to get the people behind it and by contrast the palestinians havent given much much headway this may seem toxic but in the end it might actually make progress i think thats what believes whether it works out yet to be seen. What do you make of this latest development how the u. S. Is so i can ing to cut aid to countries that condemn its decision on israel. Well and the past several years weve had russia looking out for its own interests china as we should expect looking out for its own interest and the United States basically conceding our power to the world and this is a new day a new generation a lot of young people like it or not both inside and outside of our country and i think its the right move listen we should be able to put our embassy where we should see fit just like israel should be able to declare its own bank capital and again theres a lot of political processes that play here but i think the president asserting that were going to look out for our own interest is what america has been internally wanting for quite some time now why should i make an outright threat to the countries that lying in this way is going to have some effect on diplomatic relations its dangerous is very dangerous and you know i dont know that i back it fully i think its an interesting thing happening here and it basically says if were going to send these countries aid then you better have our back otherwise why are we sending you the money i mean i think the American People feel like that this money being sent to countries and africa and other places around the world why maybe desperately needed is a sort of bribery or a sort of ripping off of the American People and transferring wealth other parts of the world some of its legitimate but if were going to send money we should expect they have our back because were giving him billions and billions of dollars and eight so if theyre going to vote against this why would we write him a check of endorsement thats the viewpoint of the white house and i think Many Americans believe in that. Brian crabtree political talk show host thank you for joining us on r. T. International and your Christmas Tree does look beautiful thank you very much you. Are ten times more civilians may have been killed during the u. S. Led operation to liberate the iraqi city of mosul than previously thought and thats according to a new research by Associated Press the news agency obtained data from iraqi morgues as well as nongovernmental organizations is says that as many as eleven thousand civilians may have been killed during the nine month operation nearly a third of those were as a result of iraqi and Coalition Forces bombing the u. S. However acknowledges just three hundred twenty six deaths have has the details. The Associated Presss counties are going to be revealed out of date if you consider the people who have died as a consequence of the battle have been solved just a smidgen we got a clue that three move children were killed there when i excluded them detonated under the wreckage of the house that they were playing on and such exclusions are an everyday occurrence whether bams left behind by isis or an exploded bams strip by u. S. Led coalition or iraqi jets nevertheless this count is ten times higher than the official estimates we got from the Iraqi Government the u. S. Led coalition or even the United Nations to see the press says that there was ninety eleven thousand civilian casualties through a three thousand booklist by the u. S. Led coalition. The rocky air force previously the u. S. Led Coalition Said that it was responsible for a new move in three hundred twenty or so deaths said clearly that it didnt have the resistance to send the best you can just look at every reputed incident this you see the press cited is that serious has various human rights agencies as well as an official count def timings and there were two paths for iraqi moves but the number itself is entirely surprising hes deemed to move salafis seem like a city of two million has been turned into this is a city of two million that is being leveled he speaks to rescuers this morning that is still digging bodies out of muscle that say the city of memphis which suffered the worst of the fighting the worst of the battling is still largely rick and theres a smell that is humming misty for months and months and then he was has some clips from the reports weve sent from mosul over the last year injuries asked right. Corpses cost this is the reality of war what you will likely havent heard of is the smell its noisy aging repulsive and its everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink the sick the smell of rotting bodies this is what rescuers have collected just this morning three suspected isis fighters two women and two children. Thats an iraqi. Launching missiles. At isis targets in and you can hear isis small arms fire targeting the helicopter in turn over there six seven hundred meters away is the aftermath of an strike that hit minutes ago just before we got here no wonder. Off to rule a city of corpses more i guess the of. From mosul iraq we spoke to mohammed circle the u. N. Coordinator with the salaam for democracy and Human Rights Group he told us high rates of civilian casualties were inevitable as the coalition made indiscriminate use of weapons in densely populated civilian areas. The last report by the un in in me has addressed six thousand they were killed by a terrorist group by isis theyre let alone by the numbers by the Coalition Groups especially against civilians because as you can stand most of them are terrorist groups who were hiding within the civilians houses or taken syrian. Schildt not doubt. Their weapons are being used by the coalition especially by the u. S. Army is does not discriminate between civilians or terrorist or by civilians or the isis because they used. A number of weapons but theres not. Such a terrorist as you stand this is it a terrorist groups not an army where they clearly indicate the targets of the weapon they were used by the u. S. Usually is used on a wide areas and also if you use if you look at the mosul as a city is very concerned very populated area is not an open space where you can target easy terrorist groups so they were targeting houses they were targeting. Small rows there were tokens more neighborhoods this again the question is raised again why theres not as a thing. Independents and instigation by the u. N. To look into how the operation has been handled. In modern Iraqi Kurdistan five people have reportedly been killed by Security Forces during antigovernment protests thought that one hundred have been injured but demonstrators were demanding the resignation of the Kurdish Regional government the unrest started on monday when crowds attacks the headquarters of the regions political policies tensions have been increasing in iraq in kurdistan since its failed independence referendum in september which led to a swift retaliate and from baghdad.

In ninety ninety two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and im hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r. C. C.
