In the west bank forests and gaza based journalist. Report on the unrest. The situation has an extremely was no. Out of breath because ive been running down the road now and. Its all just made their way to the right in see them off my left im a foreigner someone a certain name firing tear gas and everybodys been running amok the streets are rich and. The soldiers are just you know yes theyve cut. All the way into the pit. You can have the ambulances so they certainly will be the sheep who have been in the us and at the same time adjusting my coming over to the back of the posse from here exactly whats going on but. Weve taken time so weve taken cover in a in a petrol station. Going to be into the situation were in for this how can a man who are sick. And. Were standing right here you can see that theres a number of injured people you can see the insist on having people with them you can see the israeli tanks which in the last few minutes just made their way from up the road to emmaus into the precinct 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 has been hurling rocks and pavements at these waiting soldiers who speaks only been inching their way closer theyve been filing tear gas in the style actually still quite a strong smell of tear gas that is hanging over us. Thank you. Thank you the protesters and demonstrators coming here today for the third friday raids.

How this all 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 one hundred twenty eight of those believe that the city status can only be resolved through talks the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley she pointed out that voting wouldnt make any difference to where washington puts its embassy. 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 were united in the condemnation of the u. S. Move on jerusalem rivals including saudi arabia and iran came together at the General Assembly. The use of the veto obstructed the Security Council and made unable to perform duties and do 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 all the other members this is bullying and this john boehner will not bow to the word that several analysts we spoke to think the u. N. Made the right decision to ignore the pressure 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 but this is the first occasion on which a state decree a major. Member of the Security Council has resorted to such measures i do think that it could be deplorable if United States were to carry through threats of this kind because theyre called indicator states in future situations or give to a vote against the United States they do so wrong. Or as johnson has visited moscow for the first time is the u. Case foreign secretary the trip comes while relations between the two countries are historic low art easily be trying to was following johnsons meeting with his 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 no evidence of any successful russian into theories. 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. So i want you to know its a measure of my of my trust. Soon as i got into this exit from a loose try mediately handed my coat my hand my gloves i mean that 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. During the joint News Conference with foreign minister lavrov Boris Johnson even showed off some impressive russian skills. A rush so final. They committed thought. A diplomatic relationship that is like four hundred fifty years old and dates from a time when Queen Elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible right in the fall. Of rome the first foreign secretary in the history of my office to be cool dollars. Customers as i said earlier all the buying. Produce things from kettle crisps to. Somebody has just given me a pair for the for the wrong. B. As opposed to that you get i guess thats the fs. When it comes to trust or trust poorest and trust him so much im ready to call him. The buddies. As i think as i think. Ronald Reagan Mikhail Gorbachev used to say trust but there is. A coming war that is in russian. Im ready to trust without any verification. The British Foreign secretary also visited red square as well as seeing central moscows landmarks he and his team laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier at the World War Two memorial by the kremlin. Just to visit the now more detail with political commentator and journalist john white. So Boris Johnson named a few of the countries he says that russia has meddled in their elections i think germany france denmark been very busy. And successfully tried to meddle in the british referendum but he didnt provide any evidence it seems to be the year of making claims or not providing evidence two thousand and seventeen what do you make of his claims. Both of the no evidence are told to support these allegations and lets be clear the johnson visited more school and peddled this new mccarthy a he did soon or as the a mystery of the british people which is his function after all as a foreign secretary but as a mystery of the establishment place in this Market Network of your corn think tanks that are pushing this t. V. Station this new york mccarthyism and really just proves that bogus johnson is ill equipped for the rigors of such a high office it would have been better if he spent as much train practice in the brief in getting to grips with the issues concerning Office Rather than practicing these rushing to try and impress Sergey Lavrov and the press at the press conference johnston is a man who believes that life is just one never ending dinner party of which he is i guess that he tries to pass off talks in these hill farewell may platitudes as compensation for his complete lack of ability and incompetence in such a very very Important Role it was a disastrous it was a disastrous visit by borders to us and yet another on his record of disasters visits around the world which only serve to embarrass britain in the eyes of the world. We regard to the claims of russia are interfering i mean to be quite honest we dont know whether russia or interfered or not we can only assume they didnt in any elections because no ones produced any evidence but it is quite a useful tool isnt it to build up this they said to me it was interfering your in your domestic issues bit russia or anybody. The only people who have interfered in all the elections that russia has interfered the has been the people who voted in those away actions in the reason that were getting this establishment religion is liberal establishment religious because the a kind of the its a losing and the a politics are no longer having the traction in the used to have. With populations because they have more information at their hands you have social media not in everything on social media is true but it does it has opened up avenues of other sources of information of talking to one another and so that able to get to grips with these issues because the understand that the status quo is certainly not working either on or abroad than is a major deal of this network or the new york or and think tanks the are the real distorting influence in the politics of western countries and its that lane and its that distorting influence that is the cancer that we should be focusing on but instead of that youre trying to distract people by focusing on the russian bear john good to speak to you john why its my guess political commentator journalist thank you. And other news elim pick gymnastics champion Mckayla Maroney has claimed that she was abused for years as a child by the u. S. Team doctor and then paid to keep silent the doctor Michigan State university and the u. S. Olympic committee of allegedly tried to bribe maroney not to speak out on the smear a can has more on the shocking revelations. Kayla maroney americas a limp big darling one of the worlds most famous gymnasts u. S. Household name and victim of childhood sex abuse that apparently took place over years and when she wanted to speak out both usa gymnastics plus the u. S. Olympic committee made her keep quiet rhody claims she was paid hush money and is now suing them for silencing her she hired a lawyer and asked for a settlement conference or mediation to get justice what she didnt ask for was a draconian confidentiality agreement that prevented her from telling even her brother and sister about this and then i think even worse it said that you cant ever say anything bad about us if your masters ever for your whole life shes come forward with a horrific story of abuse by team u. S. A. s former doctor larry nasser it started when i was thirteen years old and it didnt end until my last sport it seems whenever and wherever this man could find the chance i was treated this scariest night of my life happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and nights with the team to get to tokyo hed given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was all alone with him in his hotel room getting a treatment i thought i was going to die that night but one would naturally have expected the usa gymnastics to support its crown jewel but the Organization Claims that she herself chose to settle this all quietly into in sixty mchale as attorney at the time Gloria Allred approached usa gymnastics requesting that the organization participate in a confidential mediation the process culminated in a settlement agreements that included a mutual nondisclosure cools and a mutual norm disparagement moronis case is just the start over one hundred and fifty women have now accused the same doctor of sexual abuse i dont want to be in a courtroom telling about how. You know. Handed to me in front of my mother when i was eleven the fact that he just thinks oh i pleaded guilty and now you guys can start healing is ridiculous to me i dont think. I dont think he truly understands how many people are hurting and how bad people are hurting over this now dr nasser admits to exploiting his position to abuse his patients and he was recently convicted and sentenced to sixty years in jail but his victims believe justice has still not been served and its not just nassar who they insist must be punished but the sports officials who failed to protect child athletes years say gymnastics chairman vice chairman and treasurer have focused their attention on money and matter well years say gymnastics is attempting to cover up the largest child sex abuse scandal in the history of sports they must be replaced by people who pose the health and safety of Athletes First now the olympics is all about celebration and success but this scandal exposes the other side of the metal billion pixels something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in its an amazing story i did it i got the not without a price. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu signaled his intent to pull his country out of you know sco bring the details after the break. Remains controversial. And more important what awaits them after they get. Back u. S. Intelligence leaders have been putting pressure on congress to really or thrice the National Security agencys Warrantless Surveillance Program that expires at the end of this year they say floor when you get National Security will be undermined. If Congress Fails to reauthorize this off already the Intelligence Community will lose valuable foreign intelligence information and the resulting intelligence gaps will make it easier for terrorists weapons proliferated militias cyber outers and other foreign adverse rees to plan attacks against our citizens and allies without detection. Reauthorization would allow section seven zero zero two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to remain in place for another four years the secret internet spying Program Began after the nine eleven attacks it primarily allows for the collection of data from foreigners but also for the interception of Americans Communications to critics and social activists so they fear the renewal will actually lead to increased levels of surveillance the proposed bill is not a reform measure on the contrary it will expand surveillance ground to government more authority and other provisions of fisa and could be read to codify current unlawful surveillance practices. And it can discuss this in more detail now with Michael Flanagan hes president of Flanagan Consulting l. L. C. And also a former u. S. Congressman who is sure to know. Plenty about this. Ok got you then out michael the warrantless foreign spying program can actually maintain its operation until april twenty eighth tina understand past the deadline whats with the rush to extend them. I think that theyre trying to cash in on some euphoria in congress right now to get it done and then there are a series of must bill must pass budget till bills that are coming up that that this would be easy to attach to personally i hope they dont i ive never been a fan of pfizer and i know many of my republican colleagues and certainly my democratic colleagues are absolutely opposed to it this it is that the concept was built in during the Reagan Administration and it was supposed to be used incredibly sparingly and with a great deal of oversight by the courts and for the last few years reporting during the Obama Administration we know that the not a single warrant was ever rejected by the court and certainly the other provisions under the act have done nothing but expand surveillance by the intelligence agencies you want to be able to trust your government you want to know that theyre doing the right thing and you want to nod and say yes im sure theyre doing the right thing but its weve gotten to a point in our lives where we they need to show that theyre doing the right things and they dont need to show anything under fire and i think for it to be fully renewed some very stringent stringent controls have to be put in much more than simply a special court giving a rubber stamp approval for the behavior largely and for other behaviors like in the section where they dont need approval at all they just go ahead and do what they like and just to clarify critics say that you know this more has back doors that allow the authorities to be collecting information on their own citizens to what extent does that actually happened. I would say fairly extensively under the law theyre allowed to listen for just a few seconds i mean its regulated down to to an actual time limit i dont know exactly what it is but its really a tiny amount of time that theyre allowed to listen but they get to keep read dialing the same the same frequency you know keep listening for a few seconds and turn it off and start again turn off and start again and we have more than a little bit of evidence that that has happened in an effort to listen in on other calls and when theyre actually trying to listen to the american and so you have a ridiculous subterfuge gone through some some some crazy crazy handstands that have gone through simply to have intelligence agencies of the United States spying on citizens of the United States which is absolute theres no one in congress who would approve such a thing but this law allows them as you have correctly observed the backdoor way to be able to do that what about those who claim that actually this we knew it could be used as an opportunity to increase the range of the surveillance. If like all Law Enforcement that winds ever increasing and more potent weapons and more potent. Resources to be able to do their job its a compelling argument and its hard to say no im sorry you cant have these things but in a free society you have to weigh Law Enforcement you have to weigh the ability of government to do what it does against Civil Liberties and against the ability of the citizenry to be behave and to work outside of the purview understanding and maybe even a control of the government this is an ongoing friction and for a long time the government has won this tug of war i think the time has come where the government needs to be pushed back a little bit on this no way saying that this should stop but there are still controls that need to be built in and there has to be better diligence on the part of the intelligence agencies to observe the the rule not not just the rule but the spirit of of protecting Civil Liberties in a world where you know all private details are private information becoming say more important actually more financially valuable as well in many ways how can we make sure that you know our information and all rights of protected. Well you cant and thats to be so blunt but you cant if the bad guys dont get it the now apparently at least under fazer theres a chance the good guys will have it we trust they wont do anything bad with it but we dont know that and i think that we need to know that i think we need some safeties we need some safeguards about that and so i know there are lots of folks in intelligence agencies watching me right now grinding their teeth saying what an idiot im not an idiot what i dont want to not be able to do what you do guys i want you to be able to do what you do in such a way is the American People can have confidence that youre protecting them inside of the scope of their Civil Liberties and in such a way as they can live with and thats what i think congress ought to strive for in the reauthorization of pfizer in particular parts like for the section and in total as it comes out michel pleasure to speak to appreciate your views my guest Michael Flanagan hes the president of Flanagan Consulting l. L. C. Also a former u. S. Congressman thank you and thanks to you guys staying with us here on our to international and enjoy the show and glean something from the last half hour or so from a for tonight to be more headlines coming your way the inhofe now.
