Cool so in light of these failures in this who you were swore i think that the pentagon burned basically or the american mistreated as a home had no choice but to take this step to try and hide the reality which is going on on the ground because i think that if the American People are exposed to the real situation of there will be huge amounts popular pressure for the u. S. To you know just cut and withdraw from the country. U. S. Officials had to flee an event in the west bank city of bethlehem and the angry protesters stormed the building they were in. God. Now that its been a business meeting at the Bethlehem Chamber of commerce and industry protesters the right of the banner condemning Donald Trumps decision to recognize to receive them at the capital of israel the money clashes the meeting was cut short before leaving the building the americans were given a clear message. Of the. Mood of the. On the story didnt end there Palestinian Protesters then ran out of the building and threw tomatoes at the diplomatic cars as they were trying to flee the scene. The escape wasnt easy either as you can see here from this video palestinians tried to gain entry to the vehicles has more now on what sparked all the commotion. But this is just the latest incident in a string of protests that has been taking place on the palestinian street ever since the american President Donald Trump made an announcement back in the beginning of december saying that he recognized jerusalem as israels capital also on tuesday there were protests in front of the palestinian Prime Ministers Office in the west bank city of ramallah now there they were protesting against the reduction of services being offered by only where the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestinian Refugees the agency was forced to downgrade the services after the americans announced that they were cutting millions of dollars of aid this the americans say is until to quote there is a fundamental reexamination of how the agency operates the protests anger on the palestinian street have gone as far as to enter the Israeli Parliament or the Israeli Knesset where just last week the american Vice President mike pence was visiting as he stood up to speak a group of arab lawmakers who constitute the Third Largest faction in the Israeli Parliament started shouting and holding up banners with anti american messages citizens of israel. Now mike pence during his speech at the Israeli Parliament only further infuriated the anger that is already here on the street by announcing that by the end of next year the americans would be moving their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem since President Trump made that announcement on jerusalem back at the beginning of december they have been more than twelve palestinians who have been killed more than a thousand have been injured and hundreds have been arrested so this is a situation that just wont go away and witnessing tensions continue to climb. The u. S. Is preparing new sanctions against russia after the release of the socalled kremlin this which includes the names of some two hundred top officials and Business Leaders and thats according to the u. S. Treasury secretary steven chu it was pressed on the issue in congress now we will take the basis of that report and look at kind of as we do in the normal course where its appropriate to put sanctions so theres no way be interpreted as were not putting sanctions on any of the people in that report or new sanctions were expected to be announced along with the list although official stress no new restrictions were coming in right now is not easily pretrained cope with the reaction from russia. For now the russian government wont do anything about what was called the u. S. Kremlin list and thats how the russian president for now made up his mind about the u. S. Treasury document it had to be published before the monday night deadline under the socalled countering americas adverse series through sanctions act and so it was ten minutes before the deadline americas saying that being put on that list which includes one hundred fourteen top russian government officials as well as nearly one hundred richest businessmen doesnt mean receiving some kind of punishment so you may well ask whats the point something to do with sanctions thats not actually sanctions by the way something that i found rather amusing was the fact that the Putin Administration section matched the kremlin website name by name while the part about the businessman was almost identical to the forbes list of russias richest men. No wonder the treasury didnt come out until theyre a last minute six months is hardly enough time to copy and paste the forbes list of russian billionaires i know personally many of the Business People on this list some very close to putin some are not obviously little work was done to distinguish between these two categories i think the logic of the list is that the russian version of the force list isnt available in english ranking russian officials even had a little laugh perhaps the deputy Prime Minister a card the dvorkovich said bad washington basically released a book that you may call hose who and russian politics anyway back to Vladimir Putins first public reaction to the list he said that the u. S. Officials werent doing u. S. Russia relations any favors shows muscle to get used to union human i dont understand the logic behind this move but its definitely a hostile one and further complicates u. S. Russian relations our Security Services share intelligence that helps prevent terrorist attacks do they need this or not will we start working together or not we can do without that but i think its in everyones interests it would be absurd to reduce our relations to zero. While the United States is mulling further restrictions theres a different stance coming from the e. U. The belgian Prime Minister claimed that the block is against new sanctions that hes doing hes meeting with his russian counterpart to me to medvedev. Based on sanctions are not the end goal dialogue is the key and i would like to highlight that the youth has made a decision not to support the strengthening of restrictions. And we also got reaction to the new u. S. List from several political analysts. I dont think it will have much of the effect at all the thirty thing i think its the white house telling congress they passed this law to try to keep the pressure up on russia this concern about the last election and doing this list seems to have very little purpose other than just filling a legal minimum i dont know if it will really damage any u. S. Russian ties it seems that trump is not certainly trying to make it any worse the situation already is it seems like hes really just trying to hope a lot of this goes away and bring it all to a speedy end people look at it and i think and say this is a piece of lazy intelligence youve worked really taken a whos who of whos the rich and powerful in russia and copy down in names and it doesnt seem to have much substance to it President Trump signed it off literally minutes the goal with no enthusiasm for these sanctions forward but hes under pressure though is under pressure i say from you know there is an intelligence from the military and from the democrats and we nor that you know under pressure pressure president s can buckle but the real question i repeat is why is russia the main threat at the moment the United States of america and the west i think the answer has to be north. To pharmacies in the german city frankfurt have found themselves at the center of a racial storm and its all been whipped up over the centuries old names with more details hes peter oliver. What is in a name well for Frankfurt Council the name of two of the citys pharmacies was enough to demand that change this is one of them exist so more and its not final part of the name that the city council here in frankfurt have a problem with it translates as the moon pharmacy now traditionally what that meant is that this was a pharmacy that would have stalked alternative medicines all medicines from the east as well as western medicine this building here you can see originates from nineteen hundred however there are campaign is that say that this type of name has no place in modern germany. The reason for the complaint was that people said using the term morrish was racist and offensive against people from north africa but we spoke to people here on the streets of frankfurt and gauge their opinion about the proposed name change i think its a shame because its part of maybe our culture too and it doesnt have any more to do with maybe weve. Already. We shouldnt change our traditions here on d. C. For me if something is to be racist it has to either diminish or belittle people in this case it has more to do with recognizing Cultural Heritage it didnt even appear to me that you know its offensive because it is a historic its simply historic terminal pharmacy doesnt for sure doesnt use it to be to be offensive the owners of both pharmacies politely declined to appear on camera saying that the news that they were going to be forced to change their name it brought nothing but unwanted publicity. Interestingly enough the name up attack ads or more and is much more common place in the state of north rhinewestphalia but when the Integration Council in that state will ask. If theyd be following frankfurts example they said no they have far Better Things to be doing peter all of a r. T. Frankfurt. Said to barcelona now where supporters of the sacked president call this project one have broken through a Police Cordon to reach the catalan parliament. Was. Protesters gathered to demand the reinstatement of the local government they threatened to occupy the building unless pushed the man was reinstated session intended to reelect the former president today it was postponed guarantee his freedom and the result of the democratic elections pushed him on himself faces a rest in spain his involvement in last years illegal referendum. But we know russian flags flying at either the twenty eight hundred Winter Olympics all paralympics in south korea thats after the International Paralympic committee upheld its ban on russia although it is allowing clean athletes to compete as neutrals two months ago a similar decision was taken by the International Olympic committee but despite all eyes being on russia when it comes to doping allegations are surfacing elsewhere in the world. In the run up to next months winter games the issue of doping has taken the main stage once again seeing the majority of russian athletes banned and those eligible to participate forced to compete under a neutral flag and frankly at this point when you hear doping you think russia but is the problem really reserved to just the one country im afraid the answer is a resoundingly no an investigation conducted by a group of International Researchers at two separate sporting events back in two thousand and eleven produced a rather shocking conclusion where more than two thousand and eight athletes were surveyed anonymously to encourage honest answers though pin appears remarkably widespread among elite athletes and remains largely unchecked despite a logical testing the report revealed that at the thirteenth athletics World Championships in south korea over forty percent of those competing emitted to doping in the past year and almost sixty percent of the pan arab games in doha whereas want to only came back with point five percent of test as positive in south korea and three point six percent at the pan arab games mean listen say that is a massive discrepancy and the other surprising thing is that the research was actually funded by water and yet no one heard a peep out of them about the result which theyve known about for years we would note that there was a delay of nearly six years between the completion of the Data Collection and the publication of this paper due to negotiations between want to and i ws and subsequently between us and the authors regarding the authority to publish the results now it goes on to say that neither of the organizations impose restrictions on the writing of the report although im not sure how you fix your delay isnt considered a restriction the president of germanys Athletics Federation for one was infuriated by the hold up but i think the publication has impaired the possibility of taking important measures in the deal being complain much earlier this is more than annoying you could also call it the scandal and guess what the report was actually released months ago but id bet good money that you havent heard a thing about it because for some reason it wasnt made into nonstop breaking news no probs were conducted and no bands were seen. We managed to speak to the authors of the report and they told us the Research Indicates a doping epidemic and to International Track in the us we are still made forty six percent. And fifty seven per cent of the athletes at these International Track meets were dog bit my chars and we expect our Quarterly Results or this paper i would call down may i mean when youre when you are talking that half of the athletes said an International Track me are asked to remain to be doing some kind of dont. I think thats a serious problem for athletics will be very very important to understand why do we have the difference they can. Think. Is we dont know much about the the athletes compliance and by compliance i mean whether or not they follow the instructions and they answer the questions to be instructed because if not it could inflate they figure what we have to do in the future is understanding. How actually three act when they actually see that question because its a quite serious question have you used prohibited methods in the past month and how to motivate athletes on this even if they are actually dopers responding to our request wada says that the study will actually be reviewed by a new working group of prevalence which will be a key priority for this year but investigative journalist Rick Stirling believes that water avoids uncomfortable issues. This was a study which of course would raise alarms with the world eighty Dopping Agency instead of pursuing it and doing further tests to determine the accuracy to try to verify or disprove the results of their study they simply blocked the publication so in my mind its an example of the lack of transparency and the bias and the efforts to censor. Studies and news there is problematic from their standpoint top world athletes have signed an open letter to the International Olympic committee urging it to allow all the clean athletes to take part in the olympics the letter was signed by twenty two a limb pick and will figure skating champions and coaches the signatories include russian star athletes like alexi a good in of getting to and if gainey made video of whos also whos going to the series Winter Olympics former top figure skaters from the u. S. And france also signed the open letter for as the i. O. C. Is decision to invite one hundred sixty nine russian athletes to take part in the upcoming winter games in south korea according to russian officials that this doesnt include some of the countrys top medal hopefuls you never been found guilty of taking banned substances. Since facebook wants users looking a little closer to home marques of could birkhead of the social media giant has revealed that from monday peoples news feeds will be centered more around local news stories and u. S. National unity appears to be the reason for the decision. Many people told me they thought that if we could turn down the temperature on the more divisive issues and instead focus on concrete local issues then we would all make more progress together the move is the latest in a series of changes to the Facebook News feed to other recent changes aim to show only trustworthy news and informative content to use is also last week facebook reportedly acquired a Software Company confirmed which creates tools to authenticate official i. D. s is thought to be part of a plan to identify ad buyers and thus avoid socalled troll farms blamed for alleged russian meddling Technology AnalystDimitri Klein a says that facebooks moves may have a much more pragmatic. Censorship is one of the outcomes which are that you have to i mean facebook makes their money by targeted advertising right so like big able to reach people and manipulate them and like you know it whether whether its for political or commercial reasons is the primary use of the platform so the primary motivation in controlling the timeline is to actually prevent people from affectively doing so without paying them and so you know they they say its really about fake news but actually its about any kind of kind of Community Based information that people are trying to get out there that arent there tha
