a new palestinian uprising. these marches will not stop until the liberation of jerusalem god willing they want a new being severed also in the west bank and in the territories of one thousand nine hundred forty eight. in ramallah in the occupied west bank stone throwing protest is sheltered behind taia smoke and improvised barricades the israeli military had mobilized thousands of extra troops in anticipation. there was similar scenes in bethlehem just days ago the city ushered in the christmas season with fireworks now it's tear gassed streaking the sky. and at the focus of it all there were protests too in occupied east jerusalem at the old city's damascus gate after friday prayers hundreds gathered regular scuffles punctuating and otherwise relatively peaceful protest and there been sporadic clashes one of them is taking place right now it seemed to start when a young child needed medical attention there was shouts from the steps where people

been protesting and then some people rushed down to where police security forces cordoned off where that child was being treated just a few kilometers away in west jerusalem an entirely different sort of a day president trump is a very good friend of his role. he was promising every. before the elections and i think it's time now to accomplish his from uscis i think it's good. i don't think we need an approved from anyone bads. i think it's a bit dramatic and we'll worry to officially recognize jerusalem the u.s. vice president stood behind donald trump during wednesday's announcement the palestinian leadership now says mike pence would be welcome. the occupied west bank when he visits the region later this month it says the u.s. is disqualified itself from leading a peace process this goal of

a two state solution looks at a further from here carry forth that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. on a. jury in the height of the clashes and sent us this update. there have been confrontations and clashes. across the. bag. here typically what happens. that. this field and. who are further back now there is a direct. fire. to push as far as possible. and what they do is that they burn tires. as. rocks.

why he was doing this he was expecting. jerusalem i don't expect anything from mahmoud abbas he needs to quit a lot of people so if there are problems with his room there have been similar scenes crusty o'keeffe by the west bank now it's unclear yet whether this kind of. will pick up steam but one thing is for sure there is a lot of anger among palestinians. and show that. many now are still trying to come to terms. believe. it was a red line. that has happened now and it's time for the palestinians to reach a strategy. separately from the main confrontations on friday the israeli army carried out strikes on northern gaza that was in response to a rocket being fired from gaza into the israeli town of surat the israeli bombing

raid hit the shank desired tower in the north of gaza ten people have been injured as a result in the last hour palestinian fighters have fired more rockets at southern israel which landed in fields. as we reported earlier the u.n. security council met on friday to discuss the jerusalem issue in the chamber the u.s. president's decision faced criticism from most member states mike hanna has more. 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 the council who does not. act accordingly toward its mind it east which is preserving peace and security then the

council might become another occupied territory. speaking by video link from jerusalem 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 italy's 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 trying to make good use purpose 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 one 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. door fishel estate or the oil rig been known the u.s. decision to reward israelis impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region. rather jordanian ambassador exchanges high fives of 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 mike hanna al-jazeera united nations across the world thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to express their anger chunks move challenger that was at one protest here in london. a few hundred people have come out and braved the cold here in central london to protest against president trump's announcement to show their solidarity with palestinians in call on world leaders to condemn the decision more strongly you can probably see behind me that placard say freedom for palestine and dumb trump and the people that i've spoken to say the decision is outrageous the u.s. is no longer be considered a sad and honest broker peace in the middle east may be joined on stage by members of parliament and a group of jews who support the palestinian cause a member of parliament said that across all political parties in the u.k. this is and has been condemned the official response from the u.k.

government came in a statement from prime minister trees in may in which she said that the decision by the u.s. to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital the for a final status solution was unhelpful in terms of the peace process was unhelpful to be considered a massive understatement considering the number of palestinians already injured in clashes following that announcement the british foreign office has issued advice warning against all travel to the old city of jerusalem until saturday advice could no doubt be extended if the situation deteriorates. strong winds continue to fund massive wildfires around the city of los angeles one person has been killed and several of us are being treated in hospital with a two hundred thousand people have been evacuated from their homes and about five hundred buildings have been destroyed by the flames that are already destroyed

around five hundred sixty square kilometers of land and has more from los angeles. we're outside los angeles to the northwest and this is what's called the thomas fire it's the largest of the fires burning across southern california and firefighters say they have made some gains overnight and this morning they've taken advantage of calmer winds which is allowed 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. still ahead on the show including breakfast and breaks through the u.k. andy you work in the night to reach an agreement that paves the way on the issue of trades china's controversial decision to destroy homes in beijing and how it's made fountains of paul migrant workers.

welcome back remind of the top story there are two palestinians have been killed and more than seven hundred injured as palestinians clashed with israeli security forces in a day of rage protest angry at u.s. president donald trump decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel across the world thousands of demonstrators took to the streets against chance there were protests in kuala lumpur jakarta cairo berlin london and istanbul. the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting to discuss chunks declaration of a palestinian ambassador warned that jerusalem was a red line for the palestinian people on the u.s. said israel would not be bullied. a deal has been agreed between the u.k.

and the european union allowing negotiations to move to the next stage and about in the european parliament negotiations have stalled over citizens' rights after breakfast u.k. so-called payment and in particular the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland reports. the end of the beginning talks the british prime minister arrived in brussels that door to sign off on a fifty page progress report opening up the second phase of negotiations on post breaks it relations the commission has just formally decided to. cancel the sufficient progress was made on the street terms of. getting to this point has required give and take on both sides and i believe that the joint 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 weekend as you will see which 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 with some existing e.u. rules the northern ireland company 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 union is so 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 of 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 brakes it divorce bill an 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. and mr 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 fourteen people were killed during the largely peaceful demonstrations most of them by gunshot wounds well our reporter. was in honduras in the days after the election. the time that we spent in honduras we didn't have any issues dealing with the military or with the police department and we didn't witness any violence from protesters in fact the vast majority of demonstrations that we saw were quite peaceful but that report

that was issued by amnesty international today does shine a light on a number of quote human rights violations they cite violence against peaceful demonstrators by way of the military and by way of the police reporting were teen people dead most of them by gunshot wounds either by the military or by the police the report also condemns a number of tactics used by by local authorities in honduras including the use of tear gas including the use of rubber bullets in those violent demonstrations that we saw in the week prior following the the the stalled electoral process in honduras were looting and violence sort of spread across the country but again the situation in honduras is that it's been almost two full weeks since the general election and the process has continued it remains stalled and what we're seeing is reports of a large financial impact

a large economic impact across the country reports of food shortages reports of fuel shortages so both indications that this political crisis is only going to continue. at least nineteen people have been killed and fifty three others wounded in an attack on a u.n. base in the democratic republic of congo and fourteen un peacekeepers and five congolese excel just were killed in the attack on thursday night in the eastern province of north kivu the u.n. secretary general says the peacekeepers killed mostly from tanzania. they want to express my out and hard to break at last night's attack on the united nations peacekeepers into the sea i offer my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims and to the government and people of the new year and they wish a speedy recovery to all those injured i condemn this attack only quickly and these deliberate attacks against peacekeepers are except a ball and constitute

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 saudi arabia's crown prince is reportedly the buyer of the most expensive painting of a so in either the venture is solid on monday a portrait of jesus christ so for a record breaking four hundred fifty million dollars at auction last month and new
