About years of child abuse by a u. S. Team doctor. A very warm welcome you watching r. T. International with me niki aaron great to have you with us this hour our top story is ready soldiers reportedly killed two palestinians and injured around sixty others as another wave of protests flared on friday then rest comes a response to Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel paula slayer whos in the west bank for us and gaza based journalist tend kookery report on the turmoil. The situation here is extremely wasnt so. Great because ive been running down the road now and. As i made their way to the right. In see them off my last time a foreign look someone a said in firing tear gas and everybodys been running amok for some rich and. The soldiers are just coming out of yes thats. All the way into the pacific. You can have the ambulances so they certainly will be the sheeple who have been in the us and at the same time were just going by coming over to the back of the posse somehow exactly what. We say can travel weve taken cover in a in a petrol station. Going to be into a situation when form its hard to know how long it can. Cause and. Were standing right over here you can see that theres a number of injured people you can see the defenses are carrying people with them you can see the israeli tanks that which in the last few minutes just made their way from up the road they now seem to be the creasing also from but they really have come all the way in now so. Now. That. Todays day of rage that has been called for by various palestinian factions is well and truly underway there are youngsters who have been here for the better part of the last hour who feel hurling rocks and pavements at these waiting soldiers who speaks only been inching their way closer theyve been filing tear gas in the style its still quite a strong smell of tear gas that is hanging over us. The protesters and demonstrators come here today for the third friday enraged. This friday was different other than the two fridays people were very close to the fence this time and wreak this sort of very important leader act and polluted sions and activist joining the civilians during the protests as you see there are at least five ambulances waiting for any injury and ready to pick them up there are still hundreds of protesters as you can hear we can hear live bullets i think there is another another injury right now and theyre actually throwing gas bombs on the demonstrators as you can see despite all of the live bullets despite all the gas bombs despite all the rebel berlitz by listening protesters whether in guards are the west bank already jerusalem are stripped or testing are still demonstrating people are searched pressing their anger. Comes after the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn Donald Trumps unilateral decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital only nine Member States including the u. S. Voted against the resolution the one hundred twenty eight who support for it believe the dispute over the city status can only be resolved through talks the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley has said however that the widespread criticism will not make any difference to washington. The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation we will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the Worlds Largest contribution to the United Nations america will put our embassy in jerusalem no vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that even countries that usually clash on major issues such as rivals saudi arabia and iran were united in their condemnation of the us is a move on jerusalem. The use of the veto obstructed this acuity council unable to perform his duties undo decades of work of the International Community it is considered a blatant violation of the rights of Palestinian People must be resolved through negotiation between the two parties are un members very threatened or the other members this is bullying and this jumble will not want to do that or several analysts we spoke to think the un made the right decision to ignore the pressure and threats from washington. I think its unfortunate that the United States finds itself under this kind of leadership which is undermining the standing of this country internationally if countries acquiesce to the us and if they accept being punching bag for the American Administration and voting in accordance with directives from nikki haley then whats the point of having the United Nations i think we all know. A new era in which a major. Resort to blackmail and bribery in order to secure votes in the General Assembly this is the first occasion on which the state decree a major member of the Security Council has resorted to such measures i do think that it could be deplorable its United States were to carry through and through its of this kind because theyre called indicator states in future situations if you play great against the United States they do so long. For a stance and has visited moscow for the first time as the u. K. s foreign secretary the trip comes during a period of strained relations are trying to with following johnsons meeting with us russian counterpart. Well we hadnt seen a u. K. Foreign secretary in moscow for five years and i can tell you that i hadnt seen such a remarkable press conference at the Foreign Ministry villa behind me for a long time there were many jokes many ways to poke each other not necessarily in a bad way after listing all the essential topics that are usual for such talks ranging from north korea to Ukraine Russia and the theories that it meddled and the votes all around the world and the u. K. As well came up once before just to remind you the foreign secretary Boris Johnson said that he hadnt seen any evidence of russian interference he even used the words not a sausage well mr johnson seems to have changed his mind today he said that he hadnt seen any evidence of successful attempts to interfere and i asked Boris Johnson to elaborate on that a little bit there was last on the free abundant evidence of. Russian interference in the elections in. Germany. From. America but as i say there is new evidence of any successful russian interference. In the u. K. Other highlights of the press conference included Boris Johnson speaking russian a few times saying that he has committed to fall in response to another question by me the u. K. Foreign secretary confirmed that once he was in tehran a couple of weeks ago he visited the Russian Embassy secretly to see the venue of the famous tehran conference during the Second World War he was also asked about moscow travel advice that he received from one of the british m. P. s which included warnings about drinking challenge again. And honey traps many other things so the question was about trust and the question was about whether he had encountered any of these threats so far in the russian capital. You know i want you to know its a measure of my of my trust. Soon as i got into this excellent for a loose try mediately handed my coat my hat my gloves i mean did everything that was in my pocket secret or otherwise to Sergei Lavrov in the knowledge that he would look after it. Would come to no harm more than just a few times Boris Johnson reminded of the differences in the views that london and moscow have on various International Issues it seemed that he really felt it was essential to keep talking about this every time he said something positive about russia but at the end of the day the common message was from both top diplomats that dialogue needs to prevail i during a joint News Conference with foreign minister lavrov published on thursday from showed off his russian language skills. I am who i am a russ a final and a they committed russ a thought. A diplomatic relationship that is my four hundred fifty years old and dates from the time when Queen Elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible right in the fall. That im the first foreign secretary in the history of my office to be called boris. Russian customers as i said earlier only buying loads more british things from kettle crisps to. Somebody has just given me a pad from the figure around the sludge bar b. As opposed to that you get so i guess thats the fs the. Opposite so when it comes to trust or trust poorest and trust him so much im ready to call him no boris nobodys. Going to buy these stuff. As i think as i think. Ronald Reagan Mikhail Gorbachev used to say trust but there is. A come a war that is in russian but in our program im ready to trust without any verification. The British Foreign secretary also visited red square as well as seeing central that landmark status tonight flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier World War Two memorial by the kremlin. We discussed the trip with political commentator and journalist John Whitehead thinks its unlikely to help improve relations between the u. K. And russia. The actual contents of the visit were deeply deeply disappointing because Boris Johnson just went over the as an echo chamber of this network over your corn think tanks an establishment press really the sources of this. Russian hysteria this new mccarthy we also went near is b. S. Messenger nor is the inner city of the british people which is his first function was that his own thing feel youre not the girl no progress will be made in terms of fermenting better relations between russia and the u. K. Boris johnson really is is washingtons placement in wonder and this is this is the team to maintain the domination of the washington consensus the socalled washington consensus which has enjoyed a game in it for the us three decades or more which is lucian i gave many because of the rise of russia in the rise of china and other countries economically geopolitically strategically and cultural. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the countrys envoy to unesco to submit an official withdrawal from the organization heres how the envoy explains the decision.

Comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the United States and israel of you know asco is activities now you know asco is the uns Cultural Agency now the israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson specifically cited what he called the attempts to disconnect the history of jewish history from the land of israel now unesco has angered israel over the past year they passed resolutions in which they said that israel has no right to jerusalem they said that the temple mount and the old city are both muslim holy sites now as far back as twenty eleven go actually granted palestine full membership in its organization now this is danny the israeli ambassador to the United Nations this is him touching on the recent decision no you knew. No empty speech you. Know didnt want to be revolution. About. Recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from unesco that happened in october and when the United States pulled out of the nasco they specifically cited what they called an anti israel bias now when that happened israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a courageous and moral decision and praised the United States for doing that it stands for the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization it has a number of tasks it fights violent extremism around the world it promotes female education it promotes Media Freedom it also protects certain cultural sites around the world now what is in question at the moment is what will happen to certain cultural sites now that both the United States and israel are no longer participants in this very Important International body we took to his reign economist m a r and he thinks the israeli me if you suggested this shouldnt be taken too seriously. Every u. N. Agency. A battlefield in the Foreign Policy and diplomacy arena and unesco is no different than the Human Rights Council and others but whether or not israel or should we drove from it is another matter altogether because just weeks rowing just leaving the field to others is not acceptable to many israelis we have been through such cycles of un bashing.
