4:02 pm
anger across the world have been violent confrontations in the occupied palestinian territory in recent days and now sunday we've seen neighboring lebanon security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters outside the u.s. embassy in beirut on the second day of demonstrations there lebanon is home to almost four hundred fifty thousand palestinian refugees. this is turkey hundreds of protesters in istanbul waving turkish and palestinian flags. president has been one of the most vocal critics of trump's decision and he has called a summit of islamic countries on wednesday and america to we've seen thousands of protesters marching on the streets of the capital robot the rally was organized by pro palestinian groups but several government ministers and officials also joined the demonstration. and this is cairo egypt there's been demonstrations there remember there was an emergency meeting of foreign ministers from twenty two arab
4:03 pm
states in cairo on saturday they demanded the u.s. revoke trump's announcement and accused washington of violating international law and it goes well beyond the region as well this in indonesia's capital jakarta earlier in the day when thousands gathered outside the u.s. embassy for a second day indonesia's president has called on other muslim countries to unite and reject trump's move but let's go back to beirut now xenophobes there at that protest where demonstrators tried to reach the u.s. embassy and witty aghast. lebanese security forces using logic can and tear gas to disperse the crowds several hundred people gathered outside the u.s. embassy in beirut there to protest the u.s. decision to batak nystrom is the capital to recognize jerusalem as the coptic logo as well the palestinian of a newsgroup several hundred protesters still is trying to reach the u.s. embassy compound but security forces have cordoned off the road preventing people
4:04 pm
from approaching further people being pushed back from the smell of the teargas people are angry there is defiance and they are chanting. they're chanting words against arab leaders saying that they haven't done enough to to confront the u.s. decision that words are not enough they want action they want the peace process to be declared that they're calling for they're supporting a new intifada and calling on person immediately to stop talking and building any dialogue with israel now israel's prime minister benjamin this and. who is arrived in france at the start of a european visit late is there been highly critical of donald trump's move but ness and yahoo says they hypocrites and it's. always will be certain i ascribe great importance to europe while i respect europe i am not prepared to accept a double standard from it i hear voices from their condemning president trumps historic statement but i've not heard condemnations of the rockets fired israel or the terrible incitement against it i'm not prepared to accept this apoc recy and as
4:05 pm
usual at this important forum i will present israel's truth without fear and with head held high. heels that's how the palace in paris tell us first of all has this meeting actually been scheduled already or is this a reactionary thing from prime minister netanyahu. well this meeting or was it actually said judge ruled a while back this was before the french president and the israeli prime minister to talk about the political crisis in lebanon and iran but there is no doubt that off to donald trump's decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and reckon ois driessen is israel's capital that this meeting has taken on much more significance we are expecting netanyahu to arrive at any moment and what we know of course is that the french president has been a fierce critic of donald trump's decision he called it regrets just days before trying to make that decision in fact so. cool donald trump to say that any such
4:06 pm
move would be. a really bad thing for the region and a bad thing for any future peace talks he has warned against it and we also have on the other side the israeli prime minister criticizing european leaders saying that they have been hypocrites for strongly condemning drama's decisions and yet they've said nothing he said on the fact that rockets are being fired into israel so this is the context this is a climate in which this meeting will take place and there's no doubt we can expect it to be tense any thoughts about how emanuel micron is going to play this war. but it is very likely that the french president will be very frank very direct he likes to say that he is somebody who can talk to everybody very honestly whether or not do you agree with them we have seen that in the past in his discussions with the russian president and with donald trump himself and what we can expect from me
4:07 pm
. is of course voice the fact that he is not pleased about donald trump's decision also find out what exactly will be the situation for the palestinians who are living in east jerusalem that is something that france has said that they are extremely concerned about and there's no doubt that as the u.s. is now seen as not an honest broker anymore by the. many experts are saying that this could really leave the door open for him to step up and for france to perhaps take the leadership in any future we know that falls is a strong backer of the idea of a two state solution and the jerusalem question is dreams it must be addressed within that framework and we might see that of course interested in his meeting. in paris thank you and let's go to iraq where protests are also happening tell us what's been happening there today. there's a huge crowd here in. i'll try to step out of the frame to give you an idea about
4:08 pm
what is exactly happening you can see thousands of people on the main square of the capital chanting to palestinian songs they say that they have been betrayed by american president donald trump and they will continue their fight on the streets for as long as it takes until trump reverses his jerusalem decision i mean this is the start of the crisis. took to the social media posting their pictures against a backdrop of the. mosque saying that we will fight for east jerusalem to be part of a palestinian state the people you see behind me have absolutely no faith in official institutions like reality and all the organization of the islamic countries and however they say that the only hope is to continue putting pressure on the streets to change the decision and how have other north african countries and governments reacted. it's the same fury the same anger the
4:09 pm
western frontier of the muslim world north africa has played crucial rose in the one nine hundred sixty five that stepped in saying that the palestinians should have a state of the nine hundred sixty nine after the attack targeting the mosque this push for the establishment of the organization of the islamic countries to protect muslim heritage is in east jerusalem in one nine hundred eighty two moroccans. floated the idea of a peace deal with the israelis in exchange for the israelis to pull out from jerusalem in one nine hundred eighty eight in algeria late palestinian leader yasser arafat and now as the establishment of an independent state of palestine a year later he was proclaimed the first president of palestine the sentiment among people in mauritania tunisia and algeria is that there needs to be a unity among the muslim world to be able to push for
4:10 pm
a united stand to protect the rights of the palestinians we've seen thousands of people taken to the streets in tunisia algeria and mauritania and they say this is not something which is going to be able way in a matter of weeks or months they say that they are determined to push for the rights of the palestinians to have their own independent state with jerusalem as their capital thank you. live and robots. and pictures here of president now crown at the least a palace we were just talking to there a moment ago prime minister netanyahu has arrived quick photo up there on the steps of the palace they go into those meetings which as the time she was putting out were preplanned but have taken on a different meaning now since the decision by don't try to move the embassy to jerusalem of course israel's support for that. so let's talk to me now who is a commentator on middle east and palestinian affairs joining us from nice to see you all this pressure which we see all the protests around the middle east and the
4:11 pm
arab world and it goes as far away as indonesia as well do you think it can actually amount to anything. yes it can because. it consists because it is clear it's pressure public pressure on all of the arab leaders who have been very complacent and some of them in specially in saudi arabia the crown prince. said man has been involved in not only. normalization with israel and bringing it into the open but into developing get into an alliance with israel so all of these complacently there is and some of them have been collaborating with has been dealt a big blow by first the trump's decision because jerusalem is a very sensitive issue is a red line and also because. the palestinian issue is at the center stage of
4:12 pm
in the arab collective consciousness just might not be in the leaders a calculation but what the decision miscalculated is that it's thought that this would you position or the complicit arab leaders position was enough to to declare such an awful step a reckless step without any rethink ations this is the truth he has poor and if he has ignited a searing fire he is already simmering beneath the surface that the administration couldn't see do you think that simmering fire as you describe it could result in something that resembles another into father i know hamas has called for a day they call jerusalem intifada what are you as you know as you know is the thirtieth anniversary of the first interview of father which are up to and very similar conditions of american arrogance israeli arrogance as well as all attempts
4:13 pm
by the arabs to marginalize the policing issues the only difference is doing better peer to peer always stronger inside the territories and isn't. was it many say is stronger than this there was a relatively unified leadership which sustained the intifada and intifadas the persons are not ordered or not it's not a matter of pressing a button to father it comes as a result of accumulated conditions and the conditions are there but you need is leadership unified to shift to sustain it and end up and her position not the unsolicited so what you are seeing is a slow intifada gradual intifada that has that doesn't have enough ikea should. we thank you very much for your time. here is what's coming up this news hour.
4:14 pm
taking a stand against one play calling the looming dictatorship demonstrators in the philippines protest against human rights violations. to allow the individual to. this wonderful. and boycotting of president black leaders turn their back on donald trump as he opens a civil rights museum and in sports toronto f.c. is celebrating for a third time this season santa will bring you all the major league soccer details of the. international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons has received the twenty seventeen nobel peace prize in all slowing this was the official ceremony for it i can urging all nuclear powers to adopt and sign a u.n. treaty to ban the use of nuclear weapons the group is also warning of an urgent
4:15 pm
threat over the tensions between the united states and north korea. many critics of this movement suggest that we are they rational ones the idealists with no grounding in reality that nuclear armed states will never give up their weapons. that we represent the only rational choice we represent those who refuse to accept nuclear weapons as a fixture in our world those who refuse to have their fates bound up in a few lines on launch codes ours is the only reality that is possible the alternative is unthinkable. so that was interesting who's the executive director on i can which was founded back in two thousand and seven a group a coalition really working to pressure governments to ban nuclear weapons it's made up of four hundred sixty eight nongovernmental organizations from one hundred one
4:16 pm
countries the biggest milestone in i can's history came this year when one hundred twenty two countries voted in favor of adopting that u.n. treaty to ban nuclear weapons. in all slow i know we already knew that they were getting this award today but a very popular winner it seems this year. absolutely i mean it's quite hard to argue against the disarmament of nuclear weapons yet those nine nuclear states and all nato members have failed to sign the u.n. treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons and a number of those countries have also failed to send their top diplomats to the ceremony today as is the usual protocol and said the u.s. the u.k. france and russia have sent their deputies and i kind of call this quite a snub but you heard beatrice finn there and she did go on to say that there is a stark choice it's either the end of nuclear weapons or the end of us and she she
4:17 pm
has a very kind of putting things incredibly simply i actually interviewed her in rome last month at a nuclear disarmament conference when she said we built these bombs we can just as easily dismantle them and many people new audience obviously she got a standing ovation for her speech and then when the woman who also accepted the award with her setsuko thurlow the survivor of the hiroshima bombing stood up and recounted her tale of tragedy there were many tears in the audience so incredibly moving moving ceremony and there was lots more to come i think you made an interesting point earlier when we spoke charlie about the sort of feeling that i can maybe as being a bit idealistic and that these countries they're not going to suddenly give up their nuclear weapons. well i think in response that i would say well we are realistic we never expected those nine nations or nato members to sign
4:18 pm
the treaty a couple of months ago that would have been beyond their wildest dreams and they don't think that this prize either will change their minds the idea is to start changing the perception of nuclear weapons to start making these countries feel uncomfortable about the possession of nuclear arsenals to attach a stigma to them much like happened with the international campaign against landmines and that's a group that won the nobel prize here to twenty years ago they started off with a u.n. treaty which has never been signed by the united states and yet the stigma now attached to land mines and also chemical and biological weapons is so great the use of them would be almost unthinkable so that's where we've come in twenty is on that type of weapon and i think i can is hoping it will be a trickle down effect and that the public city from this prize will galvanize the public to put pressure on those governments to change their minds and eventually sign up to the treaty trysting stuff. the nobel prize ceremony and also thank you.
4:19 pm
and coming up later on al-jazeera an exclusive interview with the executive director can be in that will be sixteen hundred g.m.t. a little bit under three hours from now that will be james bays our diplomatic editor and sting that from also. so as you probably know if you've been watching odyssey or in the last week or so we've been exploring the capabilities of many countries around the world and the impact on people we're going to hear from him now he was only six years old when the u.s. dropped its atomic bomb on hiroshima in japan he tells us his story now and the significance of the. only structure left standing when the bomb exploded in the his name is he. his former director of heat oshima peace memorial museum. whose dome was originally called prefectural industrial promotion home and it was used for showcasing you know she was products and promoting cultural activities so it was in
4:20 pm
a bustling downtown district my parents took me there often when i was small. i was that he was from a station about two kilometers from the hypocenter he had me standing behind the station building i saw the flash of light my father lay down on his stomach he covered news that i was saved miraculously he was going to the city was obliterated in a second. so many buildings that once stood destroys the view of hiroshima defy any explanation of what actually happened. was the building was right below the hypocenter but somehow withstood the blast from above him over them back then and many people could not accept the idea of preserving the dome which would bring back the memories so nothing but others felt a sense of crisis but without a building like this there wouldn't be anything to hand down to the next generation and that would mean losing the experience both from our sight and memory. the
4:21 pm
building in its original form can tell the account of humanity's first experience of atomic bomb and its devastation and by seeing it it warns us to never repeat it again. as it's being constantly exposed to wind and rains that deterioration is progressing rapidly so we have to reinforce the structure as needed continuously survey the building and repeat this process and he's most important to have something you can see with your own eyes to pass on the experience of comic bomb into the next generation. whenever you see the building your heart will be reminded of the catastrophe understand you this is why i'm glad to have preserve the building. i don't survive the devastation so with its own eyes what happened at the hypocenter in that very moment he and continues to welcome many people in the same place today i want to say thank you for doing everything you've done so far and i
4:22 pm

4:23 pm
to come he refused to allow a individual to this. this wonderful thing of honoring individuals who sacrifice. when they work so her to sure people have access to affordable health care and he seek it to undermine it at every turn. trump was slow to condemn racist groups it protested in charlottesville virginia earlier this year you had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent but he has released he condemned n.f.l. players for taking a need to ring national anthem in protest against police brutality and injustice against mostly young black men but there is another side of the story many of the people who are here on the first day of the museum's opening said they very much support the president's visit he should be here to represent who we are not a segment not a political view but the people of united states best me and you're happy i'm happy
4:24 pm
here. trump toured the museum and then gave a speech with a presidential tone that stayed on script we want our country to be a place where every child from every background can grow up free from fear innocent of hatred and surrounded by love opportunity and hope. today we pay solemn tribute to our heroes of the past his words were appreciated by many that came here as words were powerful and at the end of the day it's about the two museums that are here mississippi has a dark history when it comes to civil rights in the last century it was one of the last states to fully integrate black americans to have equal rights medgar evers' a famous civil rights leader from the state was murdered here in one thousand nine hundred sixty three this entire history now on full display at the new museum everyone agrees the struggle for equal rights is
4:25 pm

4:26 pm
supreme court. dominated national assembly more than one hundred twenty people died these university students march two but not now. believe deeply in protests we've been on the streets and will return to the streets but only for the right fights with the correct strategy in conditions that will result in the fewest casualties possible the president says venice weyler is the victim of the u.s. led economic war the conspiracy after eighteen years of first child is and now because istm a door to empower the opposition is fragmented disillusioned angry and cynical but they say that they must have hope and the wheels of democracy must go grinding on. tens of thousands of left venice weight tired of rising crime and chronic food and medicine shortages ulead again we are not that people don't want to live any longer
4:27 pm
with this government. so surely a moment for the opposition to sweep to power. i can honestly i'd have to say no. their internal divisions show that their capacity to govern does not exist and the people's perception is that they don't have the capacity to govern. many than a swale and say they're tired of all politicians from all parties. they cannot mix attrition these bad bad political parties not to one but all of them are finished done for. the many than assuage the political debates last and the daily struggle to make ends meet. now doctors in south korea are protesting against the president when jay ins planned to expand national health insurance coverage the move would see insurance cover seventy percent of the cost of treatment and include most medical procedures and tests by the year twenty twenty two however the doctors are saying the scheme would force
4:28 pm
them to provide cheaper care and that would reduce the quality of the tree more from kathy novak insult. moved into office this year and during his campaign he promised to broaden the national health insurance scheme his government says it wants to relieve the cost burden of health care on south korean households that's all particular concern here because of the aging population so what's known as lynn jay in care will move to widen the coverage so that more illnesses and more medical procedures are covered such as m.r.i. scans but doctors are angry about it they've gathered here to protest because they say they were not consulted widely enough on these decisions were made and they question whether the government can really afford to keep its promises on the. janie's saying that he will expand the national health care but there isn't enough money for this move it seems his policy is not realistic and he's only doing it for his popularity. treatment cost covered by the national health care are set too low
4:29 pm
so doctors have to compensate for their losses with income from the treatments not covered by the national health care the government's move to expand the health care is a socialistic measure what a large number of doctors and their supporters have turned out to protest today and there's been a party atmosphere everything from musical performances to food stamps but how monks the broader population both south koreans who aren't doctors there have actually been widespread support for mungy in care when the changes were announced in august seven out of ten people said they supported the changes to national health insurance some have even questioned the motivation of the doctors here today wondering if at the end of the day what they're really most concerned about changing is their own pain. firefighters in california have made some progress in their battle to contain multiple large wildfires across the southern part of the state now this one person has been killed two hundred thousand more have been

4:33 pm
latin america al-jazeera has come to fill a void that needed to be filled. news has never been more available but the message is a simplistic and misinformation is rife the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narrative at this time on al-jazeera. here on the news hour here at al-jazeera and these are our top stories the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital continues to spark protests and anger across the world there have been fine and confrontations in lebanon between protesters and security forces near the u.s. embassy in beirut israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu meanwhile is meeting
4:34 pm
the french president first stop of a european visit which is expected to be overshadowed by the u.s. announcement on jerusalem. and in the last hour or so the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons has received the two thousand and seventeen nobel peace prize in. al jazeera has spoken to victims of mass killings in zimbabwe which took place more than three decades ago twenty thousand people died when the former zimbabwean president robert mugabe ordered a military campaign against the rival liberation movement xampp of the new president and as a man of god and former military chiefs appointed to his new cabinet were in government at the time and are simmons traveled to the district in matabele land to meet those still waiting for an apology. it seems like a happy setting yet the children are playing on one of the zimbabwe's killing fields seven teachers were murdered in these grounds then dumped in
4:35 pm
a pit it was thirty four years ago they called it a military operation named google honda meaning the rains washing away the chance of worthless garbage with you know most abandoned is trying to work out where the bodies were buried up up from where. they called everyone around the village to come here and dig new toilet islam but really we're digging graves rick told by those who saw the teachers are lined up the one of the young soldiers told him to move over a year and they lined up again and they were shocked. there's no dignity here no respect for the dead no marc graves no way of absorbing the scale of these atrocities spread over a landmass the size of switzerland liberia sierra leone no comfort for the people and no apology. for. it all took place decades ago
4:36 pm
in the first years of zimbabwe's independence but doesn't believe zimbabwe's new president will ever apologize. he takes us to another village following his memories from one thousand nine hundred three to this place. even the sun can't lift the darkness for those who live here. names etched in stone twenty three of them mainly women locked inside a house burned alive the north korean trained fifth brigade were under orders from robert mugabe his security minister was the new president emerson. and the armed forces were headed by men who now have senior ministerial posts in march nine hundred eighty three the chronicle state run newspaper published reports about defending the fifth brigade like ning the dissidents to cockroaches and bugs the
4:37 pm
minister said the bandit minutes had reached such epidemic proportions that the government had to bring in d.d.t. to get rid of the bandits d.d.t. is an insecticide for decades victims like jane were lousy have been too frightened to talk jane still lives with physical injuries and having to watch her fourteen year old sister being raped and uncle was killed. cruel it's very painful as i speak it still hurts me those who do these things should come and apologize to us otherwise nothing has changed in the time on a special advisor to the president have this response to our report zimbabwe needs a break to continue was the erie diggins purse to settle scores from the past is if it cannot be the future is simply to you know and here for it's irresponsible
4:38 pm
devis in a geo way from what should be done every country is corroded tortured used to going to live with americans does dog of the sea rule the american civil war your country is to make mistakes you made for starts back in a village deep in the bush most a band that goes to pray in one hour where the prayer asks for help and comfort and the words shatter the stillness. now please be a corner they carry the anger and pain of tens of thousands of. andrew symonds al-jazeera. that's appealing and we want to talk more about this and we've got joseph for cherno to do that a commentator on africa france joining us from london. the fact that now president when i. was the security minister at the time would you describe him as being complicit does he now over zimbabwean people an apology.
4:39 pm
i think her zimbabwe has a very very terrible history just like most of the african countries and in fact most of the southern african countries that with a lot of de nations to liberate themselves from the color new york have even might more could a history i think as as has been suggested probably the best way for zimbabwe around now is to discuss among the members to discuss amongst themselves whether or not they want to settle their past and to do so i would suggest that probably the victims of my to bill and zanu p.f. people and probably the white establishment sit down and actually discuss the truth and make sure that do they hold those people who committed atrocities in the past to account or not that they need to do so in order to move forward because quickly to say this that if the nine hundred eighty three must because remember it was as a result two or three years after independence the guys who started the war where the guys who had refused to put down white settlers had put down harms zanu p.f.
4:40 pm
guys and put down arms zipper some of the zipper guys are put down in fact the head of the unit was just who went on as part of a settlement out of this conflict to become vice president from eight hundred eighty seven to nine hundred eighty nine so there was some kind of settlement in one way meaning including the leader of this operation now it must also be said that actually what sparked the debate a specific must occur was it is out or for the rebels at the time they can call them anything targeting actually white settlers and probably whites in zimbabwe don't you know these things wide group really including britain want to hold back to this things i think it is terrible maybe because the new president was acting as part of a unit of government and even then mugabe himself would ass up to take it it could a good position as it has a couple it may be one of the things that they need to do going forward i would suggest is that as they talk about compensating white settlers who lost out in their meat lands in the last twenty years or so perhaps. just tribal case for some
4:41 pm
of these victims to be compensated justifiably and maybe this need for a new discussion beyond zimbabwe britain and they want to stop this meant to visit to settle some of this historical things totally because you know what one missing link between nine hundred seventy five and nine hundred eighty across it is committed in zimbabwe by the white settler regime using chemical warfare written a book by glenn cross you know why logical welfare is something that you know people today you know you would be required if you were to go to i.c.c. sorry just let me jump in there because something you've kept saying in that answer that you keep talking about moving forward or going forward and that's what zimbabwe needs to do i wonder and this is not to downplay anything that you just mentioned or anything andrew support but i wonder if some today are more focused on getting their economy sort of getting a job those sorts of things i think i think a reaction unfair for them to simply say that let's set focus on the economy and move forward and keep quiet and in fact for me i would take
4:42 pm
