i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on the program turkey's president becomes the first head of state to visit greece in decades but historic disputes still loom large two years after russia entered the war in syria moscow the clara's its military operation has driven i so from all of its territory the reason may is that race against time the e.u. gives the u.k. until sunday to reach agreement on a major breck's an issue the irish border. thank you for joining us a violent protests have erupted across palestine after u.s. president donald trump formally recognized jerusalem as israel's capital on wednesday. demonstrators in several palestinian

territories of clashed with israeli troops in ramallah in the occupied west bank thousands heeded the call from palestinian leaders to moment mobilize for three days of rage a general strike is also in place closing shops businesses and schools at least thirty one palestinians have been injured in gunfire so far in different parts of the occupied territories while there's been a strong reaction from hamas the group which controls the gaza strip its leader ismail anea has called for a new palestinian uprising. we should call for and we should work on launching and into thought that in the face of the zionist enemy today there will be half solutions and narrow options let the palestinian people unleash to express their anger and their commitment to their eternal right in jerusalem and all of palestine. meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin

netanyahu has hailed the trunks the session as a milestone was the mood of the new on this occasion i would like to tell you that we are already in contact with other states that will make a similar recognition and i have no doubt that as soon as the american embassy we move to and even before that many other embassies will move to jerusalem it's about time. well how we force it joins us live now from outside the mosque gate in occupied east jerusalem harry it all looks quiet behind you now it's obviously dark as well what's the day been like there were there. all right here there has been a long going process pretty much throughout the day until about an hour ago it was a fairly small scale it was dozens scores of people rather than hundreds but it was consistent there were people chanting in favor of the defense. that the mosque compound the third holiest site is islam situated in the old city of jerusalem the

palestinian flag was unfurled on a couple of occasions and police security forces moved in to break up the protests at various points three arrests we're told were made during the course of the day so it wasn't an enormous protest but it was symbolic of the feeling of anger that there is here after this statement from donald trump and as well is that the idea that the americans were telling me israelis not to be this is something has been reports at least the israeli media that they were telling the israelis not to be overly triumphalist in celebrating this this is what i was calling a milestone in israeli his. story because presumably they were aware of the impact of the announcement and how it would be greeted here we spoke to one activist who said that we wouldn't see the same scale the same immense him and the kind of protests that we saw earlier in the summer when people were protesting it seems to nation of metal detectors at the compound thousands on the streets for more than

a week but he did expect there to be a big wave of protest tomorrow friday around friday prayers and then harry as you were mentioning there the u.s. you know allegedly tried to caution these rallies but too much celebration but beyond netanyahu and his base i guess reactions have been predictable what kind of reaction has there been in israel itself to this announcement. well there's been a kind of a that there's been some very gracious of opinion most israelis left or right view jerusalem as the capital of israel and so to some extent this is been greeted but there is some concern among some israeli court and certainly in the in the left side of the political spectrum opposition party the meretz party the one of the furthest left parties in israel saying that there is recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel already so why the need to move the u.s.

embassy why the need to make it obvious why the need to create the potential for an explosion and as well as that those among the israeli population of course there has been a right would drift in the really popular among the in israeli politics over the last decade or so but those who do want to see some kind of a two state solution they will recognize to what has happened so far the fact that the palestinian authority the senior palestinian leadership has reacted in the way that it has an assert that it is totally disassociate mix itself from the americans as any kind of honest broker in the peace process they're talking about an end to the two state solution peace process. under american stewardship so there is a great deal of concern. front as well. carrefour said with the latest from occupied east jerusalem harry thank you. for the palestinian president says he's rallying international opposition to president comes decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital which he called on unacceptable crime there have also

been protests in gaza against the decision from where bernard smith now reports. this is a scene being repeated across the palestinian territories we are like the palestinian people we will not accept this state to fight and fight and fight to get jurors all i am have a telephone to sign. but beyond protesting palestinian leaders are now trying to come up with a unified action plan to respond to donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel most say the oslo accord is dad it's been the basis of twenty five years of u.s. mediated off negotiations between the palestinians and the israelis yeah. i'm telling my brothers in the palestinian authority that the situation should be clear we will go out of the. this decision has killed a hawk. the prime minister was in gaza on

a pre-arranged visit as hamas hands back control of the territory well before trump's announcement poll showed two thirds of palestinians wanted his boss president mahmoud abbas to resign because there are no nearer a deal on statehood now there's even more pressure on the p.a. to come up with a new strategy. we will confront this decision by having our own national unity the justice of our case we will establish on sixty seven borders. is a demonstration of. demonstrations because political leaders realize. they want the focus of palestinian anger not to be on the situation in gaza but to be on what's happening to jerusalem.

turkey's president is on a historic two day visit to greece the first by a turkish head of state for sixty five years but all disputes are overshadowing the state visit at a typewriter the one said the one thousand nine hundred three treaty that settled the turkey's borders after world war one was not being applied fairly president. any change to the treaty or. the nato allies also have territorial disputes. in this agree over the reunification of the divided island of cyprus john psaropoulos has more on that from. turkish president. set the tone for his visit to greece by disputing what the greeks see as the bedrock of the greek turkish relationship the nineteen twenty three treaty which set the border between the two countries. told a television interviewer the night before he came but he believes that treaty needs

to be updated or revised the greeks have reiterated. to. the standard position that that treaty is working perfectly well it is perfectly adequate in terms of territorial delineation between the two countries in dealing with respective minorities in the two countries and it doesn't need to be touched at all so that difference between the two has set the tone for talks here during the day and other disagreements have also chief among them mr demand after eighteen eighteen months since the july twenty sixth in coup that eight officers who have sought refuge here in greece in the aftermath of the coup be extradited to turkey for judicial processing the greek supreme court has considered that extradition request and turned it down in january this year saying that there is a danger that these men would suffer possible torture or even be put to death if turkey

were to overturn. banning of the death penalty as mr has at least on one occasion publicly threatened to do so that remains a thorn in the relationship between the greeks and the turks also greece reiterated today that it will not extradite those offices however despite these difficulties the greeks and the turks also have mutual interests and they are trying to stress those financing for example their plans to build a high speed rail link between the northern greek city. and will and also to declare how willing they are to talk about their outstanding differences and to smooth them over. qatar and france have signed a memorandum random of understanding on combating terrorism the two countries also signed commercial contracts worth more than fourteen billion dollars the deals were announced as french president. visited doha where he met shaikh.

a judge in argentina has ordered the arrest of former president cristina kishner and changing the definition of marriage strangely in n.p. . hello again as we look at the weather across southern and central china and taiwan whether this is a cheery not looking too bad from shanghai down to hong kong is dry but temperatures certainly falling wages eight degrees for shanghai some showers for taiwan and some rain across more northern parts of vietnam it does no particularly heavy at the moment so i think can don't be too many problems associated with it so head on through into saturday we should find the showers generally dying away but some heavy rain across more southern parts of china and a semi way towards parts of bangladesh and

a few showers likely across me in march and parts of laos now into south asia and we've got this circulation in the bay of bengal which is producing some pretty heavy rain so i think for calcutta we're going to see rain developing through the course of friday summer's quite heavy temperatures just twenty one degrees elsewhere across sri lanka southern parts of india is generally looking fine and fine all way up towards delhi to move the forecast awning see that rain pushing in across bangladesh and some of that is likely to be heavy at times just want to showers for carol and tom we do have a across into the arabian peninsula little bit cooler here with a weak front just working its way through the gulf so riyadh struck again highs of seventeen but it should be quite a woman in mecca heis here of thirty four. building a new life on a need to like beach living off the sea and then. a dream she had my son

made but so few make it to be on it's. a family business led by a mark of a woman with a free man for cooking and desist and if i. might use yeah i didn't catch it at this time on the disease. a reminder now the top stories on al-jazeera at least thirty one palestinians have been injured in violent protests across the occupied territories after u.s. president donald trump formally recognized the use of them as israel's capital and

wednesday turkey's president is on a historic two day visit to greece the first by a turkish head of state for sixty five years but all disputes are overshadowing the state visit. and qatar and france have signed a memorandum of understanding on combating terrorism as well as commercial contracts worth more than fourteen billion dollars let's go back to our top story now a young growing reaction to that u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel let's get more now from on the bill hamid who joins us live now from around in the occupied west bank it's dark now it's night but what have you seen unfold earlier today in ramallah. well certainly they were some quite serious confrontation intense confrontations between palestinian youth and the israeli army and i have to say these were probably the most intense clashes i have seen over the past few years now the

israeli military was ready for that it had announced earlier today that it had deployed several battalions across the occupied west bank in preparation for such a rest certainly these are very very tense time across the occupied west bank palestinians feeling angry but also feeling betrayed and disappointed feeling that really twenty years of negotiations of efforts to bring about a peace have just gone to waste and we watched every pore from burned its missing gaza earlier where he mentioned there had been a poor two thirds of palestinians were actually at happy with the bus and wanted him to step down i mean during the process or just generally to the people you've been talking to today how much anger was actually directed beyond that the u.s. and israel at the palestinian leadership itself.

well there is some anger at the palestinian leadership it's also the fact that the various produced in factions have been so disunited over the past few years that they have also given a window of opportunity shown that they were weak and made allowed this to happen now when he gave his speech yesterday well many palestinians said that they thought he didn't go far enough yes he did say that he didn't see the u.s. . any more in any future peace negotiations if indeed they happen any time soon but people wanted to hear more from him and at this stage he is under pressure he promises today that soon enough he will spell out some of the steps that the palestinian authority will take in retaliation or to countermeasure d.n.r. has been made by trial but so far they haven't heard anything and some of them have

complained that they have that he was a bit chew weak that the. speech wasn't far reaching enough at this stage he will have to really make some bold steps if he wants to satisfy the palestinian anger really but there is also not a point issue now here that this is some sort of unity also in the sense that people are students feel that when it comes to jerusalem this budget all the bickering and despite all the finger pointing that has been going on for the past two years when it comes to jerusalem everybody agrees that it is one cause for all for all the palestinians all the palestinians do say even today i heard it over and over again during the protests that regardless about what trump announced regardless of the fact that he recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel they still regard of the capital of their future state and that is not going to change

now i think. not of mahmoud abbas who will come under a lot of pressure because you have a lot of restless people here in the. bag. young people who say that they were born after also that they were promised peace all the time and that never happened all they still was separation wall and excision more land grabbing and now. so certainly they're restless and they want to have a strong leader at this point or the bill hamid was reaction from ramallah in the occupied west bank called us thank you the syrian government delegation will return to geneva on sunday to resume talks aimed at ending the conflict after walking out last week the eighth round of u.n. backed talks have been on hold while the syrian opposition waits for government to go see a truce to return that delegation left the talks blaming the opposition demands that president bashar assad should play no role in any interim post-war government

meanwhile russia's military says i saw has been completely defeated in syria it says there are no remaining districts still under eisel control but the syrian observatory for human rights which monitors the conflict says i saw still holds about eight percent of that is or province russia began its bombing raids in september two thousand and fifteen in support of the syrian president bashar al assad's beleaguered forces is in a hole there has more now from beirut. the russian military saying that the military operations against iceland syria have now been completed knowledge and that there are pockets of resistance but overall their mission has been completed now the statement wasn't clear whether the military operations will seize and the whole of syria or just in areas where i still used to operate because the russian military has engaged in military activity in other areas helping the syrian government fight the opposition groups but what is clear in that statement this

what russia wants to happen next and that is to start the political process it mentions the need for this political process to start and russia really has been launching a diplomatic campaign its own initiative really very separate from the u.n. sponsored geneva talks it wants to hold what is known as the syrian people's congress but it seems that it still doesn't have the backing of all powers because that congress was supposed to be held in the vendor and now it has been postponed till early next year it doesn't just have doesn't have the support of of players that oppose it really in syria but even within its own camp its own allies it's still not clear whether the syrian government and the iranian government is on board to actually make the necessary concessions because what is clear is that this has been a very costly war for russia it is looking for an end game it's looking for an exit plan it wants to translate its military successes into a diplomatic victory so it wants to push this forward but still little progress has

been made. the e.u. has given the u.k. until sunday to reach an agreement on the irish borders so that bracks in negotiations can progress to the next stage the british government is trying to work on a solution which will satisfy both the republic of ireland and northern ireland's democratic unionist party prime minister to resume a relies on support from the governor the u.k. needs to reach a joint position with the european commission before next week's european summit well joining me now in the studio is our u.k. correspondent barnaby philip this is usually complicated but very briefly just explain to us what the issue is over the irish border the irish border at the moment between northern ireland part of the united kingdom and the republic of ireland is open we call it for us it's been an important part of the peace process dating back to nineteen ninety eight everyone on both sides at least in public says they want to keep it that way the problem is this to reason may is interpret the

bracks it faute as one which not only takes britain out of the european union but also out of the customs union and the single market is that compatible with an open border on what will become britain's land front here only land front here with the e.u. well one possible solution is to sort of cleave off northern ireland from the rest of the united kingdom give it a different status closer regulatory alignment as the language has it with the republic of ireland that is an anathema to the d p the small ulster unionist party which props up to reason may in parliament here in london this is crucial because they would see it as in some way undermining their status as part of the u.k. so what are the options open to to resume their well i think what she's hoping is that there is still some sort of ambiguous language that everybody can live with

both the deal with who she used to go. shooting hard today the government in dublin the government of the republic of ireland and brussels itself that is her hope other alternatives she could try and stare down the do you call their bluff and say no i'm sorry this is the way i'm doing it that's risky she needs those ten votes in the parliament in london another possible solution is that she could bring all of the u.k. into closer alignment with the e.u. even as in theory bracks it takes place the problem with that bracks or tears including those within her own cabinet will see it as a betrayal of the june twenty sixth vote and i don't think she has the political strength to do that or she has until sunday to figure out which trial or of those things to go for them are going to be phillips thank you now more than twelve thousand homes are under threat from huge wildfires in the u.s.

state of california two hundred thousand people have been ordered to evacuate their homes as the fire is now enter the city of los angeles hundreds of homes have been destroyed many in the city's richest neighborhoods schools highways and film productions have shut down firefighters say just five percent of the blaze is contained with more hot dry winds forecast and the arrest warrant has been issued for christina care sure the former president of argentina relating to one thousand nine hundred ninety four bombing in buenos iris a judge is accused her of covering up the alleged involvement of iran in the bombing of a jewish center twenty three years ago eighty five people died in that attack today as a boy has more now from when his iris. but it was a very busy morning here and one of the scientists with a judge tell you one of your ordering the arrest not only of former president cristina kirchner but also of her former foreign minister export of the amount of money and other people close to her administration kirschner is being accused of

treason of trying to cover up an attack against the jewish community saying interfere in one of scientists back in one thousand nine hundred four that killed over eighty people most of the accusation is based on the what is called a memorandum an agreement between the argentinian government and the iranian government that would have allowed arjun time judges to interrogate iranian officials who were allegedly involved in this attack but prosecutor i've got a policeman who appeared with a shot in the head back in two thousand and fifteen it's not clear yet whether he committed suicide or he was murdered accused christina kirshner that the real reason between behind this agreement was a trade deal between both administration that argentina would get cheap oil in exchange in iran would get cheap grain from this country cristina kirchner has been elected as argentina's president twice and she was elected as a senator or a last october so she's right now she has immunity it's not possible that she could

be arrested for this the senate would have to vote on whether to lift this immunity and it's unlikely that this will happen anytime soon not only because of the winter recess but also because of the deep divisions that exist in the senate today because kirshner has not been tried in fact and this is why question is saying that she's being politically persecuted because many of the members of her administration are currently detained on preventive detention most of them accused of corruption kirschner is saying that the accusations against her are and grounded that they are politically motivated by the administration of mauricio marketing. zimbabwe's first budget under new president i'm assuming god wot has been announced in parliament the new government has pledged to reengage with international lenders curb spending and attract investors. zimbabwe's finance minister patrick chinamasa says the twenty eighteen budget sainz

so many years of isolation. australia has become the twenty sixth nation to legalize same sex marriage. there were cheers and dancing outside parliament as the law was passed in the house of representatives without amendments the vote changes the finish of marriage from solely between a man and the woman to our union of two people. who want to die or. have a. friend rather. frightened her sorry and i said it's your own mother i'm not parliament has gone on record and we have voted. for equality for live. on for more marriage and. wal-mart borders.
