There live from moscow its r. T. That we can with the first. Mention the israeli Prime Minister has ordered the country to withdraw from unesco thats the uns culture and Heritage Organization it follows a similar move announced by the United States in october over perceived bias against israel heres how the countrys envoy to the agency explained the decision. Has broken records of people crecy incitement and lies against israel and the jewish people while polluting its noble Core Principles with politicisation and diplomatic terrorism that sometimes bordered on antisemitism is more now in israels move his color. It comes on the heels of quite a bit of criticism from the United States and israel of you know asco is activities now you nasco is the uns Cultural Agency now the Israeli ForeignMinistry Spokesperson specifically cited what he called 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 the holy sites now as far back as twenty a leaven 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 unifil declination no empty speech you. Know didnt want to be revolution we divide 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 Recently we saw that the usa had withdrawn from unesco that happened in october and when the United States pulled out of the nasco they specifically cited what they called an anti israel bias now when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 MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called it a courageous and moral decision and praised the United States for doing that it stands for the United NationsEducational 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. You know school lists World Heritage sites in fact across israel comprising of a dozen places representing three thousand years of history israeli newspaper columnist and oren and believes the u. S. Has also to a platform for diplomatic action and therefore maybe israel will eventually reverse its decision here 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 withdraw from it is another matter altogether because just withdrawing just leaving the field to others is not acceptable to many israelis we have been through such cycles of un bashing. Eventually israel and presumably the United States too would come back having symbolized. Dare displeasure if he is just a gesture one shouldnt read too much into it in other developments meantime both gaza and the west bank you see more clashes in the Third Straight week of unrest in that region fridays demonstrations left two palestinians dead and more than sixty injured. The palestinian factor parties called after christmas celebrations to be canceled quote days of rage instead head the ongoing unrest in the region comes in the wake of u. S. President trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel in a palestinian city administered city of ramallah meantime Israeli Soldiers before old pushing back for a while paramedics were trying to reach the injured troops used weapons and other forceful measures preventing Emergency Services from rachel ray of. The diplomatic front on thursday the United NationsGeneral Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn Donald Trumps unilateral decision concerned that the dispute over the city status should only be resolved by talks in the end only nine Member States including the u. S. Voted against that resolution even so the countrys u. N. Ambassador remained undeterred putting the focus on the few friends backing the jerusalem decision. This will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect them and the way and this will be remembered. Its. The. Jewish communities in germany another side to this say theyre facing growing Antti Semitism many say theyve been the target of discrimination all ruslan on a daily basis on the putting the problem will be made worse by at least the us president s controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital with more of that from europe than his play the role of. That was israeli flags burning in the center of. The aftermath of the u. S. Decision on jerusalem but apart from protests its feared the backlash would overstepped the line into attacks against jewish people a Police Investigation is underway here in berlin following a shocking display of anti semitism outside of a jewish restaurant plus what i know from. My six me your dimensions and the possible information need much of. It because. The owner of the restaurant says he expects these type of attacks considering the current climate it was a typical latest incident thing against jews the typical. Israelis beds story trump is a burden they go to the gas chamber in five years will be dead we have unfortunately a lot of cases different in this similar to do this mostly its an anemic we get a lot of phone calls with. Saying that we. In fact the leaders in the Jewish Community say that these type of incidents a far more common than we may think think its a horrible incident but i think its something what happens sometimes on a daily basis here in germany i wouldnt say that its that its a bad feeling as a jew living in germany but on the other side there are things happening and if youre a member of a community or of an often institution you get confronted with those kinds of incidents. Like really every day the u. S. Position on jerusalem has certainly added fuel to a backlash against israel but if you look at a study that was carried out just this year over sixty percent of the youths who were surveyed were from a jewish background said that they had faced until semitism. On a daily basis with almost thirty percent saying that theyve been targeted or harassed in the last year just this last month in the bedding district of berlin a school boy was attacked by a group of classmates who told him that hitler was good because he killed the jews from the government side weve heard a strong response from the German Justice minister us. Any kind of anti semitism is an attack on everyone and he said it is a must never be allowed to have a place in society again but looking at an uptick in attacks in germany targeting jews that may seem easier said than done peter all over r. T. Berlin. Next the seething committee in the countrys gymnastics governing body of being accused of helping cover up years of sex abuse and child molestation in a lawsuit filed by championship nurse Mccullough Maroney she alleges to been abused by a u. S. Team doctor for years and then paid to keep silent she also names other sports institutions too for preventing her from publicly coming forward with more details artists america. Mckayla 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 to 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 i left the sport it seemed when ever and wherever this man could find a chance i was treated this carries night of my leg happened when i was fifteen years old i had flown all day and night with the team to get to tokyo he had given me a sleeping pill for the flight and the next thing i know i was alone with him in his hotel room getting treatment i thought i was going to die that night but one would naturally have expected 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 system into agreements that included a mutual nondisclosure cools and a mutual 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 a man you know pandered to me in. My mother when i was eleven the fact that he just thinks 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 g. L. M. Pics are something that brings people hope and joy sure from the outside looking in its an amazing story i did it i got there but not without a price we discussed brodys claims with. Hall and she was the first to publicly accused. Of sexual assault. She isnt surprised about claims of a big coverup it seems. You know i wish i could say that i was surprised but the reality with usa gymnastics is they have a decades long policy of covering up sexual abuse and of and of silencing victims some of the most prominent coaches in usa gee who have trained olympians those those coaches have been found guilty of sexual abuse too and again like like their member coaches they were allowed to continue preying on little girls and even their elite athletes for decades and usa jeez response to that was was to defend in under a testimony to defend their policy saying they wanted to avoid a witch hunt so when you have an organization that has a decades long policy of supporting sexual predators a decades long policy of silencing victims by literally shoving reports in a file cabinet and then they can defend their actions by saying they want to avoid a witch hunt it shouldnt come as any surprise to us that theyre treating their elite athletes the same way theyre treating the youngest gymnast in their member gyms. Well you know mckayla said that she had signed her agreement in two thousand and sixteen but just a few months ago in august the o. C. Register which is a local california newspaper did publish that they had been able to confirm that another case had been settled in twenty fifteen with another victim of larry nasser in the lead gymnast so yes i think its i think its likely that there are others that have been silenced. I think there needs to be an investigation into whether any legal activities occurred there are very legitimate questions about whether or not this nondisclosure agreement was even legal under California Law because it did involve felony sex offense crimes and i think there needs to be a complete board change from the top down because these Board Members have have made it very clear that the safety of little children is not their priority that they see nothing wrong with how they have handled not just the larry nassar situation but with how theyve handled sexual predators in the organization for decades when you have an organization like us to do that is in charge of our libyans that is in charge of the entire sport from the top down and they cant handle Something Like sexual abuse against little children yes i think it is time for the u. S. O. C. To look at simply removing their authority to run our Gymnastics Program in the United States because they have proven that they care about something more than the safety of their athletes and thats inexcusable. To listen to his new gymnast red shield and haul him to the talking to us a break a head start off tip red faces a face but we can tell you which admits that its new fake news flags that put up a floundering so the opposite effect. Is a civilization just a tiny bit more advanced than we are that they can already pick up Jerry Springer or any other sitcoms interview shows the nightly news they see what were doing to our planet you know it isnt really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic masses that we use to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial but theres also some rationality on. The wall hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles that will. Produce talk for the tell you that will be gossip the public by itself will support. Off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their products. All the hawks that we along with all those watching. So the facebook fight against fake news has resulted in a boomerang effect we hear the sites big trying to red flag articles that contain false information but forbidding fruit takes the sweetest says jacqueline explains. Facebook sees itself on the frontlines of the fight against fake news theres a huge amount of misinformation out there on the internet its a problem weve been working hard on at facebook and were committed to fighting it after all people want to see Accurate Information and so did we. That battle heated up in december two thousand and sixteen when facebook teamed up with Fact Checkers to flag stories it determined to contain socalled disputed content but when youre on the social media titans forced to admit not only is the method ineffective it may actually inspire the opposite of the desired reaction Academic Research on correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image like a red flag next to an article may actually entrenched deeply held beliefs the opposite of fact to what we intended apparently a fake news label actually makes people more interested for example facebook red flag this story by the newport buzz which claimed hundreds of thousands of irish people were brought to the u. S. As slaves but the little red sign didnt stop its spread on the country traffic skyrocketed but facebook isnt daunted by the discovery that flagging stories has backfired coming up with a new plan to provide alternative articles on long side possibly false stories to give people more context but the question remains are those alternative stories definitely relevant and balanced and whos actually making that call the choice of the articles the choice of the outlets is going to reflect human bias he would bias is inevitable whenever human beings are involved theres always going to be a social political cultural and so on bias and the selection of those related articles is going to reflect that facebook obviously has an agenda the people who work at facebook have individual agendas and biases they might not even be aware of their own biases so that facebook and the the struggle to contend with fabricated news stories circulating on this site seems the u. S. Ambassador to the netherlands is not exactly helping is described as fake news. Its. Mentioned in debate. That there are no go zones in the netherlands. We would call it fake because i never said. Yes there. Are no other words. There are no goals no zongo knows no goes. Out if you have a problem with evolution is your second language ok. Fake news obviously i didnt call that big news i didnt you. Know. I think that has to do with the fact that he said these words in the beginning from his stance as an politician and when he was the second time he was already elected as ambassador as an investor and just have to work hes work thats kind of weird of course i dont think there will be any problems i think he will be sitting just like all the other best interests in the diplomacy. U. S. Intelligence chiefs are urging congress to reauthorize the National Security agencys far reaching spying program because it expires at the end of this year so not long to go they said that if lawmakers do not renew it the countrys security will be undermined if Congress Fails to reauthorize this or forty the Intelligence Community will lose valuable foreign intelligence information and the resulting intelligence gaps will make it easier for terrorists weapons proliferated malicious cyber actors and other foreign adverse reste to plan attacks against our citizens and i lies without detection. As a quick refresher the internet spying programs established back in two thousand and eight it gives an authority to intelligence organizations to collect data from foreign targets but theres more to it too it also allows for the interception of Americans Communications in certain cases as well now critics and social activists worry that if this is renewed again its actually going to lead to increased levels of surveillance as well the proposed bill is not a reform measure on the contrary it would expand surveillance grant the government more authority and other provisions of pfizer and could be read to codify current unlawful surveillance practices that city Michael Flatley can for one is not happy he outlined his concerns about the program to us under the law they were 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 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 about 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 spy 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 correctly observed a backdoor way to be able to do that. So that would be different how would you feel if you looked up into the night sky and saw this. What is it sinister look at shape that was spotted anyway above los angeles on friday freaked out more than a few people who contacted police suspecting it was maybe a u. F. O. Or some sort of missile attack you know as usual these things the explanation a bit more simple its actually the final launch of the year from space x. Member that name be a private contractor they get satellites into orbit occasionally supplies the International Space station looking thing there looks like a creature from the deep as never. Back down on earth kremlin body guards are getting a boost in their hand to hand combat skills from a very top mixed martial arts fighter his names arts and hes been training agents for the federal protective service is primary aim is to guard high ranking officials and even the russian president himself. I thats been a dream of mine since i was a kid to visit it and of course i never in general to be invited to train special forces so i was very excited im enjoying every second of this were trained professionals so were always enjoyed a lot more when i get to cold people those that understand the fighting is.

Calmer there says a garden of roots and. This is this is a tough one. No one knows where you sure hope how does it work play out with what i hope is there more than different businesses. All of those with my guest share thoughts on with a story facebook or on twitter this is out international here in moscow h. Q. Kevin with you but with more in just about thirty five minutes. Across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to people this will simple song alone even if i come to a guess will else with oh they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that opel.

Oh ho ho Merry Christmas this is our pre christmas episode is going out a few days before christmas we dont actually have an episode this year on Christmas Day but you know a lot of people say santa claus is not real they think its just magical thinking so i thought my headlines today would reflect this magical thinking obviously sent as real because were all getting a lot of presents right magical thinking is stopping us from taking to the streets this is from truthdig and they were looking at this tax reform policy and how its big huge giveaway for the wealthy and taking from the poor again and theyre asking why is nobody going on the story and part of it is the magical thinking that you know the russia gate hoax will save us or or one of their various magical thinking is that if we go to the voting booth and will elect somebody and somehow that person is going to fight for on our behalf rather than the corporations behalf.
