therefore disagree with the u.s. decision. isolated with israel the u.s. is severely criticized at the u.n. security council over its declaration of jerusalem as the israeli capital. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up four palestinians are killed by israeli forces and strikes in gaza while demonstrations take place across the world against president trunks and. this is a clear example of collusion with a foreign power you questions about trumps presidential campaigns relationship with foreign powers not russia this time but israel plus. unrelenting wins from towering flames in southern california hundreds of thousands flee multiple devastating fires .

israeli forces have killed at least four palestinian protesters in shootings and airstrikes in gaza as the fallout continues from the u.s. president's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital more than seven hundred others were injured in demonstrations across the occupied territories an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council there was strong condemnation of the presidential move even from some of washington's closest allies as mike hanna. 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 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 use profess 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 engine 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. or the u.n. meeting followed another day of demonstrations by palestinians in the occupied territories very forces reports now on how the day unfolded. two days after donald trump's announcement the first fatality of the protests it sparked came in gaza israeli troops firing across the border fence with live ammunition. earlier thousands marched through gaza's jabaliya refugee camp hamas leaders are calling for a new palestinian uprising. these marches will not stop until the liberation of jerusalem . they want only being guarded ever 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 tire 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 few kilometers away in west europe. flamin entirely different sort of a day president trump is a very good friend of his drill. he was from missing every all that stuff before the elections and i think it's time. to accomplish here is from

a source i think it's good. i don't think we need an approval from anyone that. i think it's a bit dramatic and we are worried 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 from leading a peace process whose goal of a two state solution looks at a third the premier kerry force at al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem meanwhile two people have died and at least twenty five were injured in israeli airstrikes in gaza six children were among those hurt israeli security forces say it was in response to rockets fired from gaza one hit the town of start no damage was reported on the israeli side alan fischer joins us live from occupied east

jerusalem so alan in all the calling for three days of rage these heightened tensions it doesn't look as if they are going to diminish anytime soon. no there is widespread anger and you can feel it when you speak to people just on the streets they are very upset at what the americans have done this is damascus with damascus gate it is like any other day in december where tourists from all over the world are coming here and going into the old city of jerusalem there are no protests planned for here but just a kilometer away in one of the busiest shopping streets on a saturday they're expecting to see at least hundreds of people turn up there to express their anger at the decision that the united states has taken to recognize to resell them as israel's capital and they say that these protests will can. when you quite what the endgame for those protests are other thing to express their anger no one is entirely sure but people want to make sure that their feelings their hair you get the feeling where you are allan that the trumpet ministration on

the one hand must have known that their reaction to this unilateral move would have been this strong or perhaps worryingly they didn't know that their reaction would have been the strong. no they knew they absolutely knew and we know that jim mattis who is the defense secretary and rex tillerson who is the secretary of state actually spoke to donald trump before he made his announcement and said look this will cause problems for american operations across the world and we know that the embassies across the world were put on the highest the laird security alert since march two thousand and three which was the start of the war and we know that donald trump spoke to a number of world leaders before he made the announcement and they said look this will cause problems at the white house on friday evening we're saying that the president has called for calm and he hasn't actually done that apparently he had a speech that he made in florida on friday night in fact didn't mention his

decision. on jerusalem and on israel during that speech but the white house continues to believe that what donald trump did was to recognize what he calls the reality in the grown and says if the united states is to be an honest broker in any sort of peace deal then they have to honestly recognize what they see as the situation on the ground in israel and in the occupied territories and briefly alan would be fair to say that as far as those palestinians are concerned that you're reporting on today they still feel basically powerless but israel feels very much empowered by this. well anytime you have a strong supporter you will feel slightly better if you are being bullied at school in the heart this guy in school suddenly becomes your best friend then you feel a lot better about the situation and so the israelis will be glad that donald trump is in the white house to be glad of what he says from the white house they'll be glad that david friedman who is the israeli ambassador is

a close friend of donald trump's whereas the palestinians. don't seem to have that sort of clout in the white house and so they're concerned at the peace plan that's been prepared by the trump white house and what that will actually contain they were asked what the right lines were the moment a bus a said in the last twenty four hours dawn trump has with his announcement crossed one of those red lines already allan thank you. well there have been protests around the world in solidarity with the palestinian people mohamad now reports. in tukey the reaction to president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the couple israel was swift angry it started protesting almost as soon as the us president had finished his speech on wednesday i files and smushed again on friday a point of stumbles biggest mosques that rage clear to us a limb is not to start a red line for palestinians they chant. find out how to ask obama those are all

against what many see as an affront against one of the world's holiest cities. in egypt thousands gathered at the main mosque in the couple keitel students at the american university of cairo as well as about institutions voiced their feelings to . israel's claim to jerusalem is based on a belief dating back more than two thousand years the court granted it to the jews while jerusalem has been under israeli control for decades now the united nations considers israel's presence there illegal. anger expressed worldwide is because of what is perceived as an uptempo white ball trying to smush this longstanding international consensus in a dangerous way mohammed at the wall just stumble. at his fourteen year in peacekeepers and five congolese soldiers have been killed in an attack on a u.n. base in the d.r.

this well the back to system sinking its way towards the southeast that's bringing many of us some rain and some snow and it's certainly not feeling warm we're told at that was for maximum temperature just three degrees and for vienna we're at two the moms and i will not behind this weather system here that's working its way eastwards and behind that is where things aren't feeling quite as cold so for london we're looking at nine degrees there on sunday and for paris around ten this needing edge of the mall to add those is going to be hitting that cold air so we are going to see a fair amount of snow on the leading edge of it and so that's why we're seeing all this white stuff pushing its way eastwards across parts of central europe now this further towards the south we're also seeing a bit of unsettled weather across the north coast of africa but not a great deal just this area of cloud here that's just squeezing out one or two showers there's a chance of one or two more perhaps on sunday but i think most of us will get away with a dry day towards the east more in the way of clouds here so cairo only getting to around twenty two minutes or the towards the south of course most of the clouds now

are in the southern parts of amount that's what we're seeing the showers the build being very wet. the weather sponsored by cattle and peace. news has never been more available it's a constant barrage that they put every day but the messages simply state you have been praying that good logical rational crazy month and misinformation is right dismissal and does not well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narrative at this time on al-jazeera.

welcome back your top stories of this hour the u.s. has been isolated at the u.n. security council level president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital world leaders condemned the unilateral move at an emergency meeting of the un security council now earlier israeli forces killed at least four palestinians in airstrikes and shootings in gaza more than seven hundred others were injured in demonstrations against trumps decision across the occupied territories. one of the worst attacks in the recent history of un peacekeeping operations being carried out in the democratic republic of congo an armed group linked to uganda is being blamed for killing at least fourteen un peacekeepers all of them from tanzania five congolese soldiers were also killed in the north keep. it is thirty years to the day since the first palestinian uprising known as the intifada began in gaza it became a watershed moment in palestinian resistance to israeli occupation bernard smith

has that story from gaza. the first intifada whisper. marked by the deaths of four palestinians in december nine hundred eighty seven. by the time it ended in one thousand nine hundred three more than one thousand one hundred people had died sixteen thousand people had been detained palestinians had already spent two decades struggling with the injustice of living under israeli occupation. intifada the first time palestinians from all parts of society began such an intense resistance the protests evolved from boys throwing rocks and people marching to fighters attacking israeli soldiers and military targets palestinians went on strike and boycotted israeli products. the police pursued our young people because they refused to turn themselves in. so the intifada was called by a number of groups affiliated with the palestinian liberation organization the

p.l.o. . the group hamas stepped in as well saying on the resistance was the only effective resistance to israeli occupation. from the moment hamas shifted from a peaceful resistance to an armed when israel started to feel the real power of the intifada. israel's military back thousands of palestinians were arrested on in one thousand nine hundred to four hundred twenty five many of them hamas members were exiled to lebanon former political prisoners say the israelis tortured them. did it i did my feet were tied under an iron chair during interrogation bay hit me in the stomach and genitals. the second intifada began in two thousand when al sharon visited x. a mosque in jerusalem he was leader of the opposition likud party at the time and

said every israeli had the right to go there. palestinians outraged. is one of the holiest sites in islam more than three thousand palestinians and one thousand israelis died over the next five years this is the. refugee camp where the first intifada started thirty years ago an israeli patrol it was surrounded by hundreds of teenage boys in the soldiers ran for cover into the buildings here and from there fired indiscriminately into the crowds and since then life for the palestinians is only gotten worse there are virtually no opportunities for the young people here with gaza and the blockade the palestinians here will tell you that after twenty five years almost all of talks with the israelis they've seen nothing to come from. al-jazeera. was staying with her story ramsey was a child when he took part in the first intifada thirty years ago this is his story

my name is enormously abroad one. eight years old i. was born in bethlehem and grew up in that if you can of what i'm audie to d.m. musician. and composer and activist thing this was on the first these of the intifada uprising. in that if you can before. and at the time i would remember that these bunch of soldiers. who came and just. you dated a lot of space which was the camp we were playing or the kids you know we don't play in the house because they were hunting very small and in the street is your playground and then we said in the story and so he started to understand that this is the buy in from the story that our grandfathers and mother were giving us. i remember that there were many soldiers i don't know what's happened but i just ran

. towards surges and i wanted to go as close as as much as close to to be able to kick them out of from the camp. the. deficit in the father show you how we were all involved and having one object of you know what and all together we miss that because we are confused between if we are free or i'm free we are in in the new zealand we supposed to have this but we don't have a state that's why we don't have a common. a common goal. today every time i try to go and travel or go to other city he or district point and or the settlement i get angry lucky today because i have an instrument. that hit me to express myself differently and

still get my message to the world that i am unhappy. saudi arabia is being warned it risks losing u.s. support unless more aid is allowed into yemen the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is calling for an end to the blockade of ports there the saudi led coalition sealed all the yemeni air and sea ports last month after the rebels fired a missile towards riyadh aid agencies are warning eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine as well as suffering the world's worst outbreak of cholera. amnesty international is accusing the honduran government of committing human rights abuses in the days after last month's presidential election the organization says dangerous and illegal tactics were used against protesters especially in the capital city fourteen people were killed during the largely peaceful demonstrations most of them by gunshot wounds. the israeli government has admitted to contacting members of donald trump's transition team last december before he was sworn into office the role of one person under particular scrutiny is jarrett couche not the

president's son in law has she had britain's. every day i'd leave my show and i think i may be talking about something else every day the u.s. networks exhaustively speculates on the special counsel's investigation into allegations that the trump presidential campaign colluded with a foreign power in russia he says it produced nothing yet one aspect of the story has barely been mentioned the role of israel former trump advisor general michael flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with the russian ambassador to the u.s. so jake his back at the end of last year now we know why he got in touch court filings show it was at the request of a senior member of trump's transition team that official is reported to be jarrad cushioning the president's son in law and middle east envoy at the time the obama administration intended to break precedent and not vetoed a u.n. security council resolution condemning israel's illegal settlements. in favor or

one day somebody finally brings the special counsel has determined the israeli prime minister aust the trump transition team to him to seed is reported to have told them to ask the russians to kill the bugs. not a news that the israeli government was reportedly spying on obama officials at the un and then sharing their intelligence with the trump team as part of this effort this is all against the rarely used logan act a law which explicitly forbids us citizens from colluding with foreign powers to defeat u.s. government foreign policy the penalty is up to three years in prison this is a clear example of collusion with a foreign power it's inconvenient for many that the foreign powers israel. in fact and the leading democratic party expressed his gratitude to christians want to thank him for making that effort and that's

a clue as to why those who say they're hungry for hard evidence of collusion have been seized on the. first actual illegal collusion that's been discovered in many respects trump is just doing what the democrats along with the republicans in congress have been encouraging the white house to do for quite a few years so the man driving president from the middle east policy is getting a pos here in washington even though he faces the possibility of criminal prosecution for illegal collusion with israel she had her town see al-jazeera washington the white house has answered questions about donald trump's health after the president mispronounced and slur several words whilst giving a speech as a white house correspondent kimberly how could. the white house says it was nothing more than a dry throat this week with president trump slurred his speech wrapping up an important foreign policy announcement god bless the united church 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 dismissing the inquiries as 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 trump but have authored a book assessing his public behavior the book is currently a bestseller in the united states. never. questioning

a 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 well 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 on the campaign trail but later revealed she had been battling pneumonia the white house hopes those fears will subside early next year that's when it's announced
