palestinians to reach a strategy. separately from the main confrontations on friday the israeli army carried out task trying on northern gaza that was in response to rockets being fired from gaza into the israeli town of sadr watch the israeli bombing raid hit the shaikh dyad towers arey or in the north of the palestinian territory ten people have been injured as a result. well there's been widespread condemnation of president trying to ration across the globe demonstrators have been marching in solidarity with the palestinian people in countries worldwide mohammed our reports. in tukey the reaction to president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the cup at all israel was swift angry it started protesting almost as soon as the us president had finished his speech on wednesday. sols and smushed again on friday

international consensus in a dangerous way muhammad at the wall just zero stumble. one of the largest protests in europe took place in germany's capital batman from where dominic cain has. many hundreds of protesters have gathered here in the brandenburg gate area of the iconic location in the center of the german capital to express their anger at the decision by president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel for hours they have been here chancing their slogans of anger against the united states the protesters here ringed by lines of police officers all here to try to guard against the protesters getting their way around to the united states embassy building which is just over here behind my shoulders here and you can see the lines of police who are safeguarding the integrity of this the embassy building the points you make here is that the anger the protesters feel at the decision by president trump is a marriage to a certain extent in

a governmental sense here in germany the foreign minister. the said that the action by president trump may well have fueled the fire of anger amongst those in the arab world who do not want to see jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel the point to make here is that these protesters although they are loud and vociferously there are many hundreds there are not many thousands here the question will be watched action that's taking here whether that can shape any opinion change which is what they want to see taken place in the middle east. knighted nations security council has held an emergency meeting in response to the trunk decision i can it was monitoring that a succession and joins me now from me in one thousand national interesting a man in mind while watching the growing unrest the growing violence throughout the day mr funks to present chance announcement but still the ambassador the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. says that she believes that the u.s.

is still at a credible pace think r.c.a. to. well indeed yes the us ambassador tempted it seems to decide that attack is the best form of defense not only did she defend president trump in his recognition of jerusalem she also sharply criticized the un itself arguing that it has a history of bias against israel yet speaker after speaker in the security council meeting made quite clear that they believe that president trumps decision was a flouting of the un can't un resolutions and it was completely undermining what ever peace process there may be or what ever peace process may still be to come but ambassador leave very clearly not just offensive she went on the attack as well this is the way the security council meeting played out. an animated discussion between the u.s.

ambassador and the palestinian representative just one of the urgent conversations taking place around the room even before the session began the packed chamber testament to the depth of international concern and some argue the credibility of the security council itself is under attack if it comes with who does not. act accordingly to what its mind it is which is a person having peace and security. the council might become another occupied territory. speaking by video link from jerusalem the u.n. special coordinator condemned the unilateral u.s. action if the israeli palestinian conflict is not resolved in line with relevant un resolutions and in a manner that meets the legitimate national aspirations of both peoples interests being engulfed into the vortex of religious radicalism that has taken over the middle east he took his position on jerusalem remains unchanged speaker after speaker reaffirmed the un's position on the status of jerusalem and we believe that

the future status as i said of jerusalem can only be resolved through negotiations criticism too from the staunchest of u.s. allies and the british ambassador also called on president trump to make good his protest commitment to a peace process we welcome his commitment to a two state solution u.s. representative decided the best form of defense is attack over many years the united nations has outrageously been of the world's foremost centers of hostility towards israel the un has done much more damage to the prospects for middle east peace than to advance of the one thousand nations represented in the chamber on this day the u.s. position was shared only by israel the united states had the courage and to understanding of justice. dorothy surely state or the already been known the u.s.

decision to reward israel is impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region. by the jordanian ambassador exchanges high fives to the palestinian representative a key question remains hanging in the chamber how can the u.s. continue to be regarded as an honest broker in attempting to resuscitate a long dormant negotiation process. so much as you show all the nation is lining up to how the palestinian ambassador apart from obviously is right in the u.s. but doesn't make any difference is in you and actually no i don't want to tip this tiger. well the security council had a multi hour session there a lot of frustration was vented by many of the members yet as you saw no resolution was drafted there was no vote taken however and this is an important point and the

palestinian representative has stated afterwards that palestine may consider calling for a formal resolution to be put before the security council if it is decided as such by an arab league session which is happening in the course of this weekend if the arab league decides that it needs to protest further through an international forum then the palestinians say that they will push for a formal resolution condemning president trumps decision to be brought before the security council all of that being said though in the end the u.s. as a permanent member has a veto of any resolution so if the resolution is introduced waiting for it will be the u.s. veto is the security council a toothless tiger well certainly it does not have the power necessarily to overrule president trump it can point out the moral failings of his decision as it believes and it can also continue to reaffirm those numerous resolutions that have described

exactly what the status of jerusalem is and should be many thanks mike mike kind of that at the united nations. still to come on al-jazeera at this news hour u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson warned saudi arabia to be more careful before intervening in regional affairs claims the honduran government used dangerous and illegal tactics to silence dissent in the days following the presidential election and lewis hamilton reveals why he isn't focusing on michael schumacher formula long world championship record details with around a later in sports. the white house has been fielding questions over the u.s. president's health this week concluded an important speech by slurring and mispronouncing familiar words one test correspondent kimberly reports. the

white house says it was nothing more than a dry throat this week was president trump slurred his speech wrapping up an important foreign policy announcement god bless united thank you very much but many reporters and the american public have been questioning that explanation so much so white house press secretary sarah sanders was the first to acknowledge the concern is missing the inquiries that frankly pretty ridiculous questions but questions of trump's fitness for office are not new given his reported love of fast food and refusal to exercise them there is his penchant for confrontational speeches pray news they will be met with fire of fury and taunting attacks and social media against foes like north korean leader kim jong il and many are questioning trump's ability to make sound decisions the latest to do so

a group of twenty seven u.s. psychiatrists and mental health experts who have never examined trial but have authored a book assessing his public behavior the book is currently a bestseller in the united states. and never. questioning the president's mental health as a political issue isn't new trumpeted the white house at age seventy president ronald reagan was sixty nine during his time in office reagan began to show shifts in speaking patterns those speech changes were later linked after he left office his diagnosis of alzheimer's disease will not required most modern presidents have provided some assurance of good health including this report most recently for president barack obama after ten months in office trump has failed to do the same but did in two thousand and sixteen while campaigning against hillary clinton make her health a campaign issue here. clinton aides brushed off her coughing spell and stumble

and this morning they've taken advantage of calmer winds which is allow them to stop focusing on structure protection so much and actually get out and fight fires what was five percent contained yesterday is now ten percent contained and they're hoping for more of the same in terms of the weather in los angeles some of the people forced from their homes by fires early in the week are now being allowed to go back into their neighborhoods restrictions there have been lifted but to the south in san diego still a very serious situation what's called the lilac fire has forced thousands out of their homes many people taking refuge in one of the five shelters that have been set up outside the city of san diego in all of this the weather is the key high winds were predicted for last night and through today they haven't quite materialized as strongly as predicted and that has been a boon firefighters certainly hope that continues through the weekend but the

national weather service says there's still a red flag warning still a potential for very high winds and that will mean more problems for californians. lebanon's prime minister has appealed for support from world powers a summit convened by front's saad hariri who surprise resignation in saudi arabia last month quotes a political crisis as tend to global backus to endorse the country's policy of dissociation he says that's critical to allow his country to stay neutral in the escalating regional rivalry between saudi arabia and iran french president a money home who hosted the meeting in paris call for an end to interference in lebanese politics u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson was also attending the meeting in paris he called on saudi arabia to be more cautious about it symbol went in with us i think with respect to saudi arabia's engagement with qatar how they're handling the

yemen a war that they're engaged in the lebanon situation i think we would encourage them to be a bit more measured and a bit more thoughtful in those actions to i think fully consider the consequences i think we've been clear when it comes to yemen we have called for and president trump himself called for this week a complete end to the blockade of yemen a reopening of all the ports to not just humanitarian assistance but commercial delivery as well because about eighty percent of the food comes in on commercial shipments we are asking that saudi arabia allow that access i think goes to lebanon things have worked out in a very positive way perhaps even more positive than before because there have been very strong statements of affirmation about the future of lebanon which can only be helpful. list international has released a report on human rights abuses in the days after the honduran presidential election the organization says the honduran government used dangerous and illegal

tactics against protesters during last month's election gets from honesty international say human rights violations were widespread in the capital to go. fourteen people were killed during the largely peaceful demonstrations most of them by gunshot wounds well let's go to manuel in mexico city you with the election on the days after as you witnessed some of those demonstrations on the violence what did you think of this on the still report. well as you mentioned we were there to witness several peaceful demonstrations some with over ten thousand people taking to the streets very different demonstrations than what took place in the days before which was a wave of violence that really spread across the country looting and bridges being being said a blaze and just a lot of a lot of violence across the country now the report issued by amnesty international today shines a light on

a number of quote human rights violations are citing violence by the military and police against peaceful demonstrators as you mentioned fourteen people reported at least fourteen people reported killed by security forces most of them by gunshot wound that report by amnesty international also condemns the use of certain tactics by government forces including the use of tear gas the use of rubber bullets as well as the enforcement of a nationwide curfew that suspends a number of constitutional rights afforded to ponder and citizens with the situation that ongoing situation in honduras is that it's been almost two full weeks since the presidential election and both presidential candidates continue to claim victory and that remaining political crisis has been having a tremendous economic impact across the country there's reports of fuel shortages reports of food shortages in the northern parts of the country along the caribbean coast which are both signaling that this that this political crisis could be turning into a humanitarian crisis and it could only be getting worse imo the president she

praised they the president. of the progress and what he saw as him protecting human rights for the paper and actually thinking about. the trumpet ministration did issue a statement yesterday giving credit to the government of one orlando at nine days for making progress on that question of human rights but i've been speaking to people on the ground in honduras all day i spoke to one activist this afternoon who said that it's becoming increasingly difficult to sort between facts and what would otherwise be fake news even when it comes to official statements from authorities in the united states and she added that to say that the government of one orlando in and this is making progress in the area of human rights would be quote ridiculous adding that the united states' position is to secure its interests in the region making sure that the support is there for president at night and this

because he enforces u.s. policy in regard to the drug war and he's done that successfully now the question moving forward is unclear whether or not u.s. support would go away u.s. u.s. would abandon its support for president at amanda's if this crisis continues to deepen many thanks mandela speaking to us there from mexico city and he said one thousand people have been killed and fifty three others wounded in an attack on a u.n. base in the democratic republic of congo and these fourteen un peacekeepers and five congolese soldiers were killed in the attack on thursday night in the eastern province of north kivu un secretary antonio the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorist says the peacekeepers killed were mostly from tanzania he was described as a tragic day they want to express my ode to and hard to bring at last night's attack on the united nations peacekeepers into the sea i offer my deepest

president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. across the world thousands of demonstrators took to the streets. and were protesting in jakarta cairo. and they stumble. the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting to discuss chunks declaration a palestinian ambassador warned. jerusalem was a red line for the palestinian people while the u.s. said israel would know people need. for more now on the fallout from thomas declaration i'm joined by. the executive director of the arab center in washington d.c. thanks very much for coming in or a fourth first of all everybody i think is trying to get into the brain of donald trump as to why indeed he has made this move do you think he had calculated that this winter was going to cause rage across the arab world and also many other capitals or also do you think he realized what would happen in the u.n.

security council. i doubt it very much i think this was a very unwise move that was not well discussed or studied or calculated by the administration the president does not have much respect for the international community he subscribed when he when he says his theory or his approach is america first he means america first and last you know he could care less what people in the arab world or in asia or in europe he consulted actually did discuss this matter with quite a few leaders in different the say capitals that are aligned with the united states different allies and they all advised him against this yet he want to head went forward with this knowing that it is going to cause not only some some difficulties for him in terms of pursuing his plan for peace in the middle east but also causing

and that's more serious damage to u.s. credibility worldwide and that's what we have witnessed today i know what about the kind of credibility and also the relationship with saudi arabia everybody was looking to saudi arabia to see how they reacted they reacted to basically saying it was the wrong thing to have done but behind the same this there's an awful lot of talk that saudi arabia is part of the deal that's being what tone with jarrod kushner and the president of the palestine what the world would you think a saudi arabia. i think this assessment is correct what you reflected in your question there is more than one saudi arabia today definitely the leaders particularly mohamed been some man who is that the facto ruler right now of saudi arabia has left that impression with the president. made it very clear that his position on jerusalem started back during

his visit to riyadh and he has the impression that countries important countries like saudi arabia will indorse his steps in this regard i think he's missed misinterpreting the fact it's not enough to talk to leaders in the arab world the fact of the matter what is important is the view of the masses the view of the people the view of the citizens of these countries in a recent survey we just conducted a month and a half ago in eight countries in the region including saudi arabia eighty six percent of the arab people in these eight countries said that palestine including jerusalem is very important to them the numbers in saudi arabia were a little bit lower than that but they were still a plurality and what the president doesn't seem to understand is that there is this discrepancy between leaders and citizens in those countries and he doesn't seem to

take the citizens of this country seriously the israeli ambassador to the u.n. cold on other nations to also move their embassies to jewish land and also recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and what indeed you think will be the reaction to that and just in the same breath i guess how much effort and how much pressure is that coming from the u.n. security council to make sure that doesn't happen at the moment. well it's not going to happen not because of any pressure because it's basically conventional wisdom on the one hand and it's also international law this is not a new issue this is an issue that has been before the international community since one thousand nine hundred forty eight seventy years of history with all kinds of resolutions and all kinds of legalities involved so the international community has spoken about the future of jerusalem and the status of jerusalem long time ago this

is not going to change because of a speech by the israeli ambassador of the u.n. or by president trump for that matter it's a very complicated issue it needs to wait as a final status issue to let some form of serious negotiations take place between the palestinians and the israelis so in the final analysis that's what determines the future of jerusalem another statement by for domestic reasons or for personal reasons by any president including the president of the of the united states thank you very much for speaking to us and i'll just have a second josh on that from washington d.c. . the u.k. and the e.u. have reached a deal on the first stage of brecht's negotiations following months of tension the agreement announced in brussels allows talks to move on to the next phase us trade discussions have stalled over residency and work rights for british citizens in the u. and citizens in the u.k.

both sides agreed on protecting citizens rights as they are now the so-called divorce battle the payment required from the u.k. to leave the union was also a sticking point the deal contains no specific number that the u.k. has confirmed it will meet all its financial commitments observers say it could pay almost seventy billion dollars over the coming years but the main stumbling block was the island border the u.k. and the e.u. agree there will be no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but we've got regulations will be aligned to allow freedom of movement and tariff free trade to continue without border checks need a small. the end of the beginning for bread sic talks the british prime minister arrived in brussels that door to sign off on a fifteen page progress report opening up the second phase of negotiations on post breaks it relations the commission has just formally decided to recommend to dupion

council that sufficient progress has no been made on the street terms of divorce getting to this point has required give and take on both sides and i believe that the joints report being published is in the best interests of the whole of the u.k. a deal had to be done imminently to allow e.u. nations to ratify it at next week's summit both sides have been forced to compromise we've been working extremely hard this week and as you've all seen it hasn't been easy for either side. one of the biggest hurdles has been over the border between the republic of ireland an e.u. member and northern ireland part of the u.k. . for the past twenty years it's been completely open economically benefiting both countries but at the height of sectarian tensions in northern ireland there were checkpoints and border posts nobody wants the return of a hard border after breaks it for the british government's part as in northern ireland the democratic unionist party also want to make sure the region leaves the

e.u. with the rest of the u.k. the prime minister has promised northern ireland full alignment with the rest of the u.k. and would some existing e.u. rules the northern ireland county shares with the republic of ireland dublin says it's positively happy about this arrangement it keeps the borders open it keeps trade flowing but some pro british unionists a wary about being treated differently to the rest of the u.k. and some hardline unionists all interpret this as a possible step towards uniting the island of ireland. the deal has been clear on other sticking points e.u. citizens living in britain and british citizens residing in europe did get some certainty about their future the deal we've struck will guarantee the rights of more than three million e.u. citizens living in the u.k. and a million u.k. citizens living in the e.u. they will be able to go on living their lives as before but the european court of

justice will continue to have some influence over british courts something hard line breaks a tears will not be happy about and when it comes to the breaks it divorce bill that exact figure won't be known until trade talks begin it could be as high as seventy billion dollars it's been eight months since may signed article fifty which triggered britain's departure from the european union fifteen months remain to decide the details of the divorce talks will now focus on trade and security with many jobs potentially at risk in the brics a clock ticks ever louder. parker al-jazeera london. there are fair bit coy we could be heading towards a total price collapse of the tumbling almost twenty percent in ten hours the cryptocurrency says more than forty percent in the forty eight hours before it fell sharply on friday the spike then dropped the value of bait car and has more than tripled since the start of october and currently sits at more than fifteen thousand

and to the c.d.c. development that as was. minutes later a demolition crew appears backed up by security guards here to enforce the evictions not something they want the cameras to capture we were ordered away. the sudden if action of tens of thousands of migrant workers is part of a wider operation that the government says will continue for several more weeks and when all this rubble has been cleared away this land this valuable land because we're still in beijing will be ripe for development. the narrative on state t.v. paints a very different picture here the local party chief is thanking migrant workers for their contribution he visited what appeared to be a refurbished apartment complex telling residents that the security of the people was paramount but conceding the government must carry out of victuals with care. it's clear that many of the homes being demolished were dangerous on many levels

ray. scientists at imperial college london are precisely measuring neutrons perfecting a new tool to detect radioactive weapons so-called dirty bombs that could be smuggled across borders but it provides the information that the frontline officers need fully automatically which basically means that if there's a real threat the response will also be most foster the risk is real. experts say the threat of a radioactive weapon comes from non-state actors criminal groups who want to destabilize governments and harm or frighten people on a large scale. many border forces around the world currently use detectors but they're crude instruments that generate false positives needlessly slowing traffic and raising questions about their effectiveness the end facet should be a game changer it's smaller more sensitive and more mobile than current machines put it in the back of

a police car and it will find radioactive material in passing traffic pinpointing the car or truck carrying the dirty bomb although smuggling dirty bombs or radioactive material isn't common crime it is a threat and there's a real fear a psychological fear of something we can't see harmful radiation seeping into our bodies and the environment it's not like the movies you know less are going to have your face melting as such and so the very very latent for a long period of toil so the concern is always the hidden effects of a radiation device some time before it's detected the new detector is a byproduct of pure science looking at life's tiniest matter and made possible only by machine learning artificial intelligence allows the computer to constantly learn what is dangerous radioactive particle and what isn't after three years of work the engineers are nearly ready to send their detector out into the real world science
