protest around the world and the u.n. as warning that donald trump's you know lateral move would spread unrest in the middle east i canna has more. an animated discussion between the us some best of the palestinian representatives just one of the conversations taking place around the room even before the session began the packed chamber a testament to the dip the international concern and some of the credibility of the security council itself is under attack if it comes from. iraq to according to to what its minded use which is a person having peace and security then the council might become another oak park 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 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 trump to make good his 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 just this door physically state what i've already been known to you as this city and to reward israelis impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region. by the 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 as i mentioned thousands of palestinians rallied across the occupied territories against trance decision harry fawcett was an occupier from where he filed this report. two days after donald trump's announcement the first fatality of the

protests that sparked came in gaza israeli troops firing across the border fence with live ammunition. more. earlier thousands marched through gaza's jabaliya refugee camp hamas leaders a calling for a new palestinian uprising. these marches will not stop until the liberation of jerusalem god willing they want only 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 protesters sheltered behind tires 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 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 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. you can meet his away in west jerusalem an entirely different sort of a day president trump is a very good friend of his room. he was from missing everett all that stuff before the elections and i think it's time now to accomplish his from asus i think it's good. i don't think we need that in a proof from anyone that's. i think it's a bit dramatic and we all weren't 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 in the occupied west bank when he visits the region later this month it says the u.s. is disqualified itself for meeting a peace process whose goal of a two state solution looks at the further from you are equals that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem and al-jazeera had made was in ramallah during the height of the clashes and it. there have been confrontations and clashes. across the occupied west bank. here typically what happens. is that picking up this field and. who are further back now. is that they fire. to push as far as possible now you can see also on that road. and what they do is

that they burn tires to create a smoke screen behind. their rocks. now we all saw one of these young man what why he was doing this he was expected. doing this for jerusalem i don't expect anything from mahmoud abbas he needs to quit and let the people show their problems with israel there have been similar scenes trust west bank now it's unclear yet whether this kind of. will pick up steam but one thing is for sure is a lot of anger among palestinians. and show. many now are still trying to come to terms. believe this. was a red line. to cross well many would tell you that that has to happen now and it's time for the palestinians to reach a strategy. for the second time in

a week the u.s. is calling on the saudis to completely end the blockade and yemen this hours ago the white house released a statement saying it's gravely concerned about a recent escalation in violence and humanitarian situation on the ground earlier at a meeting in paris u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson also spoke about saudi arabia's actions in yemen and a troll and regional affairs. 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 all 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 about affirmation about the future of lebanon which can only be helpful at all to an as that wall street journal reporter says they trumpet ministrations criticism of saudi arabia as rare given their close ties it seems like this week. trump an ministration maybe lost a little bit of patience with the saudi policies. that you referenced twice they were twice criticizing saudi arabia for its the way it is waging war in yemen and the plot that humanitarian blockade. and then the saudi saudis criticized it's quite a forceful statement criticizing the truck instructions decision to move the and

the scene israel to to jerusalem so that the relationship is still quite strong and it seems like president trump and the saudi leaders in particular have still have a very strong relationship but the ties to israel that this week. deal has spinnaker is here between britain and the u. e.u. that is a lot of bricks and it goes stations to move to the next stage pending a vote in the european parliament on the go ahead stalled over citizen's rights u.k.'s divorce bill and the border between northern ireland and the irish republic and barker reports. 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 not been made on the street terms of the

divorce 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 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 to pay. 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 oil and 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 eight you 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 t is will not be happy about and when it comes to the brics 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 on 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 the brics a clock ticks ever louder need parker al-jazeera london. still had on al-jazeera. the growing threat from north korea's but listing missiles to get back the question just how to fell it is young nuclear program and the devastating wildfires across southern california refuse to die out.

former white house middle east cord nater under president barack obama robert malley says trump's decision is a reckless step. it's an unfortunate reckless statement but it doesn't really change that much in reality because the president and his advisors have been at pains to say we're not prejudging the outcome of the boundaries of jerusalem that would be decided in negotiations technically it doesn't change anything so why do it when you know that psychologically emotionally politically it has an implication it has certainly i mean we're seeing the motions that generates and that it further discredits the united states it further makes it harder for the united and its allies in the region to be viewed credibly in this process so although there's no positive reason for doing it the one hundred negative reasons why it shouldn't have been taken my point was the decision in itself practically doesn't really change much what it should serve as a reminder at least it should be a moment where palestinians in particular come to terms with the fact that there is

no serious peace process to speak of there is no credible mediator to speak of and therefore they do have to make some choices about where they want to go those choices are overdue but maybe this is an opportunity for them to think and it's not up to me to say what i think or what they should be doing but at least an opportunity to think that in the absence of a serious peace process in the absence of a prospect of serious negotiations with israel and in the absence of a mediator in the u.s. with whom they have who they trust their the burden is on them in some ways to think through their strategy what are their goals how do they want to organize themselves domestically to achieve them and how do they want to organize themselves internationally to achieve them so it doesn't as or change much but in some ways it is a wake up call for those who have decisions to be made at least fourteen u.n. peacekeeper racin five congolese soldiers have been killed in firing on a u.n. base in the democratic republic of congo at least fifty three people were wounded

mainland a necessary deterrent it says against what it calls hostile u.s. policy or pressure on nuclear arsenal is for them i'll commit insurance policy for survival and his source of salvation for north korean regime north korea first test fired a rocket in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and started underground nuclear bomb testing in two thousand and six. simply or kim jong un came to power six years ago more than sixty ballistic missiles have been tested despite round after round of international sanctions this photo was released in september when the north conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test of what it said was a hydrogen bomb the most recent launch ended a two month gap for missile tests north korea says and analysts agree it was its most advanced i.c.b.m. yet and state media triumphantly declared the country's rocket weaponry system

development was complete but is it from the window you knew in my opinion north korea has achieved about eighty to ninety percent of the technology of the nuclear weapons development. since north korea expelled u.n. nuclear inspectors in two thousand and nine analysts such as kim dong yup paid close attention to images and statements released by state media and some estimate the north could have around sixteen you clear weapons down. the lacking in north korea's nuclear missile technology is the reentry that is technology that would allow a nuclear warhead to survive the heat generated when it enters the earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speeds still kim says the international community's preparations and responses must be based on the assumption that north korea is a nuclear state if true chung yolngu says that is a very dangerous reality most kristie ohman nuclear state they cannot.
