Up they go spending the holidays in the heavens a russian spacecraft launches early today from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is taking three new crew to the space station on the final manned mission of the year. Hi there welcome to the program im kevin zero in with the weekly the big stories of the past seven days from acidity international and first deadly violence between palestinians and Israeli Security forces still shows no sign of abating this weekend it follows Donald Trumps explosive decision earlier this month to recognize the disputed city of jerusalem as israels capital. The tensions easing sees the israelis are throwing tear gas bombs that are filling the place. Was. I was. Such. Luck. We are so not the freezone and tensions are but this is taking that. Was i. Thought throughout the wake up hes been hearing impassioned reaction to the resurgence of violence in that region. People can open the bible and to count how many times jerusalem is invention there they will find out also that jerusalem is not mentioned even one time in the koran not even one time people will find out that jerusalem is the capital of israel since nine hundred forty eight the whole world is condemning this action because simply its against the International Law its and against the framework for the Peace Process is has forfeited the United States who fitted its position as a broker to the Peace Process and i tell you something the israelis have killed who are palestinians in the past two days in peaceful protests while no israeli was killed there was an injury in an attack and was jerusalem everything is a lie first everything my opponent says is a lie there were three terrorists killed in gaza strip which has nothing to do with the protests here because gaza strip they fired rockets and they forget about it they just forget that they fire rockets at israeli kindergarten when people who are followers of hijab in that whole say name hitler skull operator of the ring cycle of world war those who created five before nine hundred sixty seven to destroy israel when this resists the same personality is common to teach us morality listen come on it cannot be defended themselves why they are illegally on somebody elses land that is unacceptable what they done what they do and what i have been doing since one thousand nine hundred seven is an aggression and with your other guests this radical has never been to your land never been the old man in the history of those land they were born in russia donald trump. Kept his promises and his trying to do in his best way are grateful but the issues not dumb of problem they issue as these people go wrong no theyre in a says europeans russians americans and we are here in the middle east the only democracy of the only all new really a light in this very dark environment reaction to President Trumps move has reverberated throughout the muslim world where leaders have lambasted this quote noland void decision the turkish president declared he wants his country to open an embassy to palestine. Furthermore the organization of islamic cooperation conveyed it emergency session in turkey on wednesday it called for the International Community to recognize East Jerusalem as the palestinian capital. It was the us decision on your rousseau them because of its great bias against the historical and permanent rights to palestine is important i want to point out to ignore some of the distortions and see the United States the solution to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is a dangerous one it will threaten security and stability and frustrates efforts to resume the Peace Process the president is committed to this Peace Process as committed as he has ever been born yet as a mediator all every possible step must be taken to prevent the implementation of this illegal action by the u. S. Administration however there is one question that sticks out here what factors and no limits made it possible for the u. S. President s trip there to take such an outrageous acts and that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and its not necessarily surprising to us despite the heavy criticism from arab leaders and european allies President Trump it seems is not that concerned over it as kalam open explained. Well its now the time of year in which israel celebrates hanukkah and this comes after Donald Trumps dramatic decision on jerusalem which may seem like a huge gift we wish you a very happy hanukkah. And i think this one will go down as especially special. Right now im thinking about whats going on and the love thats all over his you know. All about jerusalem a love thats all over israel trump one is far is actually praising himself for the all but controversial move his point his predecessors only made promises where he actually delivered. Jerusalem is still the capital of israel and most remain unknown divided city accessible questions that take us as i would begin the process of moving the United States ambassador to the city in israel and shows. I continued to say that. Jerusalem will be the capital of israel so why is tom so gleeful about his decision as the International Community praised him for it nope they dangerous decision we do know and agree clearly disagree these decisions are helpful from the European UnionMember States sites this move will not come so is it what the American People want well not according to this poll taken ahead of trumps decision sixty three percent of americans say that they oppose the move but its popular in israel right well not with all israelis they think of only friends leave in years and they. Are in much greater risk than they were with i think it will because of. People dead and. Violence i think it was a reckless this season and it takes less time to announce it is like a man who was playing in a coma defeated or in the. In gangsta. So its taking us three still suddenly and is shooting over friends tell me its a day he knows that theyre pretty much scared to go but the drizzling because they dont know how its going to be and theyre scared to leave the house says but trump did win over some of his harsh critics in the democratic camp. Jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the United States congress has reaffirmed and a fact of history that cannot be tonight. I support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u. S. Embassy to this decision is long overdue and helps correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally he may be a tipping his hat to his base and say you know this is a Campaign Promise that i made he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on World Opinion regardless of its effect on the United States and World Opinion and regarding the suffixes on the palestinian. People the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks its terrific a year ago at his inauguration donald trump said that from here forward it would be America First well its starting to look like maybe its trump first. R. T. New york. Also this last week Russian Troops are returning home from syria after president putin announced it was Mission Accomplished during a surprise visit to a base there on monday it was the russian leaders first trip to the country putin told personnel at the latakia air base their work was complete after the Russian Defense ministry had earlier declared Islamic State was no defeated in syria. I mean you are on there to the defense minister and the head of the general stuff i ordered the start of the withdrawal of the Russian Forces to their Permanent Base and if the terrorists dare to raise their heads again we will strike back with the strength theyve never seen before a quick timeline of events has a recap in twenty fifteen when Islamic State was on the rise and controlled half at one point a syria a request was sent to moscow for help in the fight against the extremists using Syrian Intelligence the Russian Air Force launched surgical strikes on terrorist positions dealing a significant blow to weisel infrastructure that aerial support has considered to be one of the main reasons for the Campaign Success many other forces also joined the effort to liberate cities and the surrounding regions to of course. I. Believe. That. Although Islamic States defeat is a common victory in this and now it looks at one side this trying to steal the show maybe. Everyones taking credit for ridding syria of isis hes going to go to the locals to get out soon you know its a. Great job russia but not everyone is giving your props i want to thank general manners for doing such a great job with respect to this hes not the hell out of. Myself made it possible with what id let you do i think check your sources russia the bushes are twelve but far north. Today. Paul. But you do you like it if you know what it. All hes more. The deal. You only join the war two years ago by invitation from the president and are already claiming victory us and stayed in power thats a total loss as far as we see it true wins mean the fall of ruthless dictators triumphant victories over evil and a long stay after the battle is over russia is already pulling out troops fell now we should keep in mind that the us played in porton role in combat in the terrorist sometimes by simply giving moderate rebels arms and training or for example when they let thousands of isis terrorists flee iraq or to battle assad in syria under a secret u. S. Approved deal america has nothing to celebrate in syria the plan didnt work keep bragging about your accomplishments in afghanistan iraq and libya and if you can stay in syria another ten years it might just be a real when. These events today a three man crew are on their way currently to the International Space station other blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to go its the final manned mission of the year itll take them two days travelling before they finally dock with it all but theyre up there you go down off porch of the launch site. Once it was yuri gagarin who blasted off from this a very launch pad to become the first man in space now we can already hear the engines of this soyuz rocket roaring and the ground underneath me starts to crumble so lets take a quick break and enjoy this launch on this beautiful sunday morning together. Now having to leave a loving home especially on the holidays especially for Holiday Season and especially to space does leave an aching feeling inside ones chest and so weve been ready to spend some time with the crew and find out how they are going to be dealing with this perhaps the best crewman to help with any homesickness his colleagues may suffer hes fair and russian cosmonaut copier off he spent a year on the ice says before you know. It is my third flight and third time celebrating new year in space so i have a bit of experience on the space ship there are presents from family and from ross cosmos but there is a bank for every crew member and we also bring one for those already on board with the date when to open them either on christmas for western colleagues or new year for russians. These stores have packed one of her toys for him as a reminder of his family back home at the mining i gave my father a green little poodle toy because we have one at home. Not only is this chapter of the thirty expedition hell also be celebrating his birthday in space for the third time. Im fortunate i was celebrate my birthday without my family close relatives and friends but it is my third. Time so im no stranger to that i will receive presents and sweets from my family on the space station we will lay the table and drink tea and i cant tell you what were going to do there isnt a surprise but this is so use is not the only spacecraft headed for a run with the eye assess all the way from Cape Canaveral a space x. Rocket is carrying something very special in its cargo hold firstly were being told its a new Christmas Tree for the holidays and also a copy of the new star wars movie yes to be screened in space so the force is strong with this mission john of reporting from the Baikonur Cosmodrome ferrazzi good luck up there guys there are plenty to come on the way clear because stay with me kevin though in for at least the next fifty minutes well be covering a lot of stories including british employees now having the power the veto any breaks agreements with the e. U. To head. Because vessel only forty year they play a short tournament. I mean its as you have your life by your bottle its everyone saw me you wife whatever somehow six times well it was different story. When lawmakers manufactured consensus instant of public wealth. When the ruling classes project themselves. With the famous merry go round be the one percent. Nor middle of the room six. Million real news. In the week just gone british lawmakers gave Prime Minister trees of may a brecht see bruising was on wednesday this happened after they voted to give parliament the final say on any deal struck on leaving the e. U. Eleven rebels from within our own conservative party broke ranks to give m. P. s the power to veto any exit agreement. A meaningful vote a meaningful vote a meaningful vote article fifty has a deadline the date has been served we are leaving at the end of march and when the deadline runs out we leave leaving the European Union and we should say no Parliament Taking back control extends the article fifty dont like before we leave the European Union amendment seven is floor is just my view the worse it will be unproductive negotiations to drag things out drag out the negotiations to delay project for months and months and months scrutinize whats of the government is doing proper scrutiny this is not the moment to try and defeat the growth i. Just. Came of age its been eighteen months since the referendum saw fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the European Union or though of course the poll showed a sharp divide in someplace britains regions that wanted to remain there in march this year that the government finally kicked off the whole exit process as complicated as it is and the often strained negotiations with brussels that are set to follow well in the wake of an Opposition LeaderJeremy Corbyn said m. P. s delivered a humiliating loss of authority for the government and that power he said is now back in the hands of parliament thats despite though the Prime Minister earlier claiming that the governments strategy is in fact back on track. But there is there is i believe a new sense of optimism now and thats what i expect that we will. Set out today in the European Council later this week to some a might have secured a better result in the house of commons had she not lost her partys majority in the snap election this year she managed to stay in power with a one billion pound deal to secure Parliamentary Support from m. P. s from the Northern IrishDemocratic Unionist Party in the week Political WriterDan Glazebrook told us treatable you can no longer overlook the deep divisions within your own party that is a humiliation and historically governments dont tend to last very long after after they get defeated at the hands of their own backbenchers to i think it shows that the government government is really up for grabs really demonstrates how insincere the conservatives were in their promise that they would. Follow on on the final deal to parliament because if they were sincere why would they be so determined even at the risk of a parliamentary just defeat to resist making this into a legally binding commitment.
