And look out for those bitcoin millionaires as the cryptocurrency breaks through the Twelve Thousand dollar barrier the champagne corks are popping for some lucky investors will find out what inflating the bitcoin bob. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us u. S. President donald trump is expected to announce today that he will move americas embassy in israel to jerusalem recognizing the city as the capital of the jewish state it is a major change in american policy and one that the palestinians and arab states say could threaten the middle east Peace Process the status of jerusalem is perhaps the single most contentious issue in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Israel long ago declared jerusalem as its eternal capital but the rest of the world never recognized the move and to date no major country has an embassy in the ancient city. Donald trumps decision could have an explosive effect on the region not least because the palestinians insist that East Jerusalem must be their capital if a two state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict is to become reality. The position of the president this is very clear. If. They want to get this is going to be moved to jerusalem this is again. This is this would be the next step for. This and it would complicate things it would put an obstacle to the Peace Process maybe it would be the end of the Peace Process. Other leaders promptly echoed that warning. Mr trump that jerusalem is the red line for muslims. In cairo the head of the arab league said moving the u. S. Embassy would be an unnecessary provocation to the arab world. The kings of saudi arabia and jordan both criticize the move as did iraqi Prime Minister haidar a body. It has yet to have the Iraqi Government warns of the consequences of this decision on the stability of the area and the world ignoring the rights of palestinians and the arab and muslim world and other religions and i mean what at the end of. The United States appears to recognize that trumps announcement may trigger unrest the state department has ordered its consulate personnel in israel not to conduct personal travel in jerusalems old city or the west bank. Earlier we spoke to did obvious correspondent in washington casting phenomena he told us more about the trumpet ministrations and the scene basically all president s bill clinton have been kicking this can down the road every six months because twenty two years ago the u. S. Congress passed a law the Jerusalem Embassy act which says that jerusalem is the capital of israel and that the u. S. Embassy should move there now that law however gives the president of United States the chance to postpone the implementation of that law by a six months at a time if it is in the National Interest of the security of the United States and that has happened again and again bill clinton and george w. Bush and barack obama have all postponed the implementation of this again and again donald trump also did it one in the summer this year but only grudgingly after he was. Supported in this by his advisors and allies of the United States but now he seems to have changed his mind it could be that he declares he wants to the embassy in jerusalem but still postponed the move for six months so legally not much would change but it would still be a game changer politically and diplomatically lets bring in our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer standing by for us hi tania in our report a little earlier we heard the Palestinian Authority saying that this move could see the end of the Peace Process how damaging could this really be for that process. Well i think first of all you have to say there is no real Peace Process at the moment has been staggering for years and for months but there is the assumption that some kind of push for peace is being currently discussed by tramps own middle east peace a majority cushion his team was here on the ground for many months but its not it clear where this peace plan will go nobody knows anything about of the details and ive known the palestinians and as you said also as weve been hearing in the report and other leaders have met mary clear that you know this announced move by the u. S. President will basically kill or could potentially kill any attempt to push for new talks this was a good many leaders here also in the arab world and now time has apparently decided to go it alone to reverse a longstanding u. S. Policy and ignore those warnings but i think its also important. To wait and see and he will make her give a statement its expected to give a statement later today what he will actually say how we really were to his statement and if you will leave some kind of opportunity. For the palestinians to claim their idea and or their aim to have a their own capital in East Jerusalem tenure the actual process of moving the embassy could actually take years they could see a reversal of this decision of the future. I mean from what we understand this came out of the white house last night that this thing that might that might take two or three years i mean there is a u. S. Consulate on the western side of town and west to reserve and but from what we understand they might build a new a consulate so this will take years and we also understand thats why according to the white house they will have to sign a waiver that just again. You know if they reverse it i mean as a third in this provision theres an argument of nine to ninety five that my colleague talked about if its in the national. Interest of the National Security interests of the u. S. I mean whether they will change or get it again or not dr we dont know because at the moment its not quite clear what mr trump has mind what he will do next and how this will play out. Tanya kramer speaking to us there a little bit earlier now to some other stories making headlines around the World British Police have reportedly for oiled and allege of plot to assassinate the countrys Prime Minister theresa may the extremist islamist plot is understood to weapons of the bomb attack on the Prime Ministers residence two man arrested last week have been charged with plans to carry out Terrorism Security officials believe it is the ninth plot police have thwarted this year. A multi is court has charged three men with octobers car bomb murder of journalist daphne cutter want to leave the fifty three year old was known for her blog exposing government corruption the three suspects among a group of ten arrested this week have pleaded not guilty. And french rock icon Johnny Hallyday has died from lung cancer at the age of seventy four known as the french elvis how they helped popularize rock n roll in the francophone world helping him sell one hundred million records in a fifteen year career. Now the International Olympic committee has banned russia from competing in the two thousand and eighteen Winter Olympics some clean athletes however will be able to compete as neutrals under strict conditions with just ten weeks before the games begin in south korea the i. O. C. Said there was enough evidence of systematic doping to justify the ban it is the second time in a row that the russian team has been banned from the olympics the i. O. C. Is executive board were presented reports containing evidence of systematic doping in russia they spent tuesday afternoon poring over it and came to a final conclusion announced by two must be the i. O. C. As president. Of the russian Olympic Committee is suspended who is immediate effect. Individual clean the russian obsoletes will be able to participate under strict conditions at the olympic winter games to have a chance two thousand and eighteen these in righted astley so will participate between individual or Team Competitions under the name olympic athlete from russia with the acronym. There will be no russian flag and no National Anthem at the Winter Olympics but clean athletes will be allowed to compete under a neutral elim pick flag its not a drastic change from the ban imposed at the rio olympics last year except this time around lifelong allin pick bans have been handed out to russian officials including vitali mood the former sports minister and Current DeputyPrime Minister of russia. No official of the Russian Ministry of sport will be a great it it for the olympic winter games two thousand and eighteen the minister of sport restore vitali would go and then deputy minister. Will be excluded from any parties from any participation in all future Olympic Games although tuesdays decision is far from the blanket ban many had hoped for it does show that the i. O. C. Are prepared to stand up to russia whether it means that the i. O. C. Of put an end to this doping controversy depends on russias acceptance of tuesdays decision. More on russia as a limping band now we have a young expat from v. W. Sports here with us in studio we also have our correspondent in moscow emily sure when standing by for us good to have you both of this morning i like lets start with you so the i. O. C. Essentially said that russia banned from these Winter Olympics but clean athletes can perform they can take part under a neutral olympic flag was this the right decision i think opinion is a bit split on this one some people think it was spot on other people think the usa went hard enough and of course russia dont think its the right decision i will appeal the ban but considering the evidence presented to the say i think this was the right decision from the us its been russia as a country. President thomas buck said it was an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sport so thats pretty damning but at the same time i think banning russia is the right call i think though that it is fair that individual athletes that want implicated in the state sponsored program and can be shown to have pa stringent tests on doping should be able to compete under a neutral flag. They did have to tread a fine line on this way on they had to come down hard but they also need to keep russia onside no way an olympics without russia at all is like a world cup of faith woke up without brazil so it was a fine line but i think it was the right call in the end i am lets come to you in moscow now how is the kremlin reacted to this news. Well theres been no real official reaction yet president putin is expected to speak today and another public event and he probably will comment there earlier he said that competing under. A neutral flag would be a humiliation for russia so itll be interesting to see what he says now if he does comment but many officials and politicians have already commented the opinions there have been rather divided on the one hand people are saying this is a humiliation for russia and on the other hand people are saying you know at least people are clean athletes will be allowed to take part and people are pointing out that in fact they will be under be able to compete under the name of you know olympic athletes from russia so there will be some indication of where theyre from so apparently a decision about whether and in what form russian athletes will will be taking part from the russian side will be made on the twelfth of december by the russian Olympic Committee but of course it will be interesting to see what fortune has to say today if he does comment and emily what are the russian people think youve been speaking to people on the streets. Well my impression talking to people has been that people feel rather sorry for the athletes especially because surveys show that a minority of russians only believe that there was a state sponsored doping program and that in fact russian athletes did take performance enhancing drugs at all and my impression talking to people here is that people think this is basically more politics than sports theres a growing fear a feeling here in russia that there is a sort of anti Russian Campaign going on in the west you know the of the sanctions is widespread allegations of Russian Hackers hacking almost everything and also now this doping scandal so my impression though talking to people on the streets of moscow was that in any case this is a very emotional issue here in russia so maybe lets have a listen to what people had to say. Every country has its astley these astley to perform under national flacks thats normal whats not normal however is if our assets appear without our flak then all of their athletes should appear under the olympic flag as well but yes but its me and there are many athletes didnt take drugs so why should the whole country be punished now just because of a few individual athletes you know and no years i think of no other choice than they might as well participate under a neutral flag then at least they can show what they can do that isnt bad and i suppose on the spot when the you know if they happen you dont they wouldnt have been punished but. This is all about negative attitudes towards russia we can see that in the news americas against us in the west is to hopefully thats because theyre afraid of us because were strong nation. Like i want to come back to you know is this fair is russia being singled out here. I mean i think considering the evidence against russia presented to the a it is a fair decision but you can understand why perhaps people in russia feel like theyre being targeted because i mean as thomas buck said this is a president attack i think thats a bit rich from the i. O. C. Because there has been instances of doping in the past i think this is an unprecedented attack on the Olympic Legacy its not praise them for punishment and i think this is because this is the most widespread investigation that has happened into one countries. But we must not forget that in the past there has been systematic doping in german teams in the in the eightys and ninetys theres also a current water World Antidoping Agency investigation going into chinas. Doping allegations its a ledge that over ten thousand athletes doped in the eighteen nineteen eightys and ninety ninety ninety s. And it doesnt stop there the lympics have been riddled with doping allegations throughout its history. But that said i mean considering the evidence yes its the first big wide spread investigation into a country that allegations and the evidence is there so i think it is fair but you can understand perhaps why the russian people feel targeted there is a this is definitely a blow for russia you know this is a winter olympic powerhouse its the host of the next football world cup how can moscow turn this around. I mean its going to be a big job for russia to. Clean up their image as well as prepare for the world cup next year i mean we have to remember that they hosted the social games in twenty fourteen and since then twenty four of russian athletes have been banned for using banned substances so its not a great look and on top of that the Current DeputyPrime Minister vitaly mutko has been banned for life from the olympics he was a essentially in charge during this period of anti doping in russia and hes now in charge of the face for world cup so its theres a lot of pressure on russia to do i guess put on a good show in in russia next year for the world cup and make sure it all runs smoothly on expect from v. W. Sports and also of course money in moscow and really sure when to thank you both for your analysis youre watching news still to come as finland celebrates one hundred years of independence we look at one of its most famous and pervasive exports initiatives on. But First Business with monica and monica which currency is the most highly valued is that the euro the dollar all great great currency sumeet but if you invested in bitcoin you probably wouldnt be here right now because bitcoin seems unstoppable the cryptic currency has just passed Twelve Thousand dollars soaring from less than one thousand dollars at the start of the year so lucky those who did invest in it about the price also been accompanied by a growing chorus of warnings that the speculative frenzy is nothing but an asset bubble poised to bust but that doesnt stop some Stock Exchanges on future markets from joining the party. Bitcoins may be a mystery for most people but many are intrigued by the crypto currency bitcoins are mind in massive data centers such as here in china the currency only exists online theres no bank or Financial Institution behind it the cash flows are anonymous and theres little oversight and yet big coin is currently enjoying an unusual run. At the start of this year one bitcoin was worth one thousand dollars but for weeks theres been a lot of hype surrounding its more recent surge in value on wednesday its price reached a record high of over Twelve Thousand two hundred dollars that means bitcoin has jumped in value by over eleven hundred percent an unparalleled rise. Its even called the attention of the reputable trick cargo Commodities Exchange which announced plans to begin trading Bitcoin Futures investors will be able to buy and sell bitcoins at a fixed rate this will make the currency much easier to trade even japans on board bitcoin is listed on Stock Exchange now the once julius cryptocurrency is well on its way to entering the financial mainstream. And if you recognize the voice that was daniel into my colleague and he is back here with me in the studio to tell us a little bit more about bitcoin im sure that youve bought some how many have you got i dont know because i lost them than i could there was a while ago it is unfortunate because apparently a few years ago with the same value that you could get a pizza for in those days you can now buy a house so it would would be nice monica like that ok but that way youre still here with us which is good news and there are other investors of course who are really making a killing right now i mean how are they reacting to this Development Well i mean because it is driven by social media so thats where theyve been reacting and theyve been gloating on the line id like to show you some tweets on this actually just take this twitter user and investor you a wall. St try to spend years in School Learning the minute finance ten years of one hundred hour work weeks super excited about your ten percent returns this year me a bit read some books some stakes enjoying nine hundred percent returns this year clearly gloating there and to give you an idea about the scale a bit Klein Charlie below tweets at two hundred four billion dollars because market cap is higher than ninety six percent of the companies in the s. And p. Five hundred only twenty one lancia so it gives you an idea of the scaled there and also being powered by social media means means inevitable and investors feel vindicated this post by to coney im on reddit how people saw me when i talked about bitcoin at the start of the year clearly a crazy person and how people see me when it cost ten k. Intelligent and sophisticated i think is the idea that trying to get across the way you can blame them theyre very happy and gloating as you mentioned as well but i mean how exactly does bitcoin differ from. Other commodities or currencies that are currently traded why is it successful commodities is really the word there it is more of a commodity than a currency because it isnt a stable medium of exchange once it becomes or if it becomes a bit more mainstream and you can go out to your local shop and buy something with the coins then you can call it a currency until then its just too unstable and that will be the thing which seals the fate for better or for worse of because so it will we ever be able to go out to the shop because thats what people ask me a lot you know i mean how do you actually buy something with bitcoin well its very easy to use the thing is that not many places accept it because theyre worried that if they take in because they wont be able to exchange them into dollars or euros which is what they need to pay their taxes so quickly and so if someone like starts accepting bitcoin which has been rumored that would be a game changer then everyone would start buying that collins and start using bitcoins online and then you might even see them. Accepting it as well all right well weve seen this amazing rise from one thousand dollars at the start of the year to Twelve Thousand how much higher can it get is now the time to join the party. Like dont really know i mean people smarter than me have said that it is definitely a bubble but when you see that c. M. A. And nasdaq are offering big futures when you see that the banking up revolution which is backed by master card is going to be offering bitcoin as well you see it is moving into the mainstream and so it could be the time to invest but then the bubble could burst any moment who knows if anyone then its daniel winter thank you so much for joining me in the studio.
