5:02 pm
so that u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel continues to spark protests and anger across the world have been violent confrontations in the occupied palestinian territory in recent days and now in neighboring lebanon security forces used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the 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 was at that protest of the demonstrators trying to reach the embassy but with. lebanese security forces using logic cannon and tear gas to disperse the crowd several hundred people gathered outside the u.s. embassy in beirut. it to protest the u.s. decision to have ignited a scrum is the capital of zero three to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinian of a newsgroup several hundred protesters stairs trying to reach the u.s. embassy compound but security forces have cordoned off the road preventing people
5:03 pm
from approaching further people being pushed back from the smell of the teargas people are angry there's defiance oh they're 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 but they're supporting a new intifada and calling on person immediately to stop talking and moving any dialogue with israel so that's lebanon but plenty of protests held in other cities around the world thousands are out in istanbul waving turkish and palestinian flags president has been one of the most vocal critics of trump's decision he called the declaration null and void and found to fight it and also called a summit of islamic countries on wednesday. this is morocco 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 attended the
5:04 pm
demonstration and in cairo egypt demonstrations happened as well following an emergency meeting of foreign ministers from twenty two arab states there on saturday very demanded the u.s. revoke the announcement and accused washington of violating international law and well beyond the region as well look at this in jakarta indonesia earlier in the day thousands gathering outside the u.s. embassy for a second day indonesia's president has called on other muslim countries to unite and rejection donald trump's. now we also have the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu meeting the french president emmanuel micron the start of his european visit has been overshadowed by the u.s. announcement on jerusalem micron's been a vocal critic as well of donald trump's decision let's talk more about this with him sasha butler who is at the palace in paris you were saying before natasha that this was actually a planned trip but the timing means that this jerusalem decision becomes probably the main talking point. that's right this meeting rachet you will
5:05 pm
do a while back to discuss the political situation in lebanon and iran but of course in light of donald trump's announcement on moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem what is taken on a whole new significance in fact emanuel might call is the first leader to host the israeli prime minister since that announcement and he is a fierce critic of the decision in fact might call it regrettable on the evening that donald trump made his announcement and then just a few days earlier even before donald trump had made those statements and i know my call and spoken to him on the phone that warning him this such a move could threaten stability in the region and then on the other side we have the israeli prime minister who before coming to paris actually called europe. when leaders hypocrites he said they were hypocrites because they spoke with one voice condemning donald trump's decision on the other hand they have not spoken out about rocket attacks on israel so that is the sort of very tense climate and context in
5:06 pm
which this meet meeting between these two leaders is taking place today so by the sounds of things in the fashion as a leader who very much wants to involve himself here. yes and i think more than we can expect out of these talks between the two today's free man omar called to be very frank and direct he likes to pride himself as somebody who can talk about all the difficult issues with others even if he doesn't agree with them and we've seen that in the past in his diplomacy with the russian president we've seen is also with donald trump and we expect him to raise the fact that the french are extremely concerned about the situation of the palestinians living in east jerusalem is illegal settlement building by the israelis and also the fact that for france the future can only be decided in the middle east with israelis and palestinians coming around the table and discussing
5:07 pm
a two state solution and in season within that framework that jerusalem so the status must be decided those points and issues are very important to france that is the french political line but there's no doubt that is interesting because as we've seen palestinian leaders say that the u.s. can no longer be seen as an honest broker in any future peace talks we're seeing him at all markov and france really step in and somehow take take the lead because perhaps the door is open for a man or mark or to mediate further as as we go forward. in paris thank you. the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons i can receive the twenty seventeen nobel peace prize in i can a surgeon or to adopt and sign up to a u.n. treaty to ban the use of nuclear weapons the group is warning of an urgent threat as well over the tensions between the united states and north korea. many critics
5:08 pm
of this movement suggest that we are the rational ones the idealists with no grounding in reality that nuclear armed states will never give up their weapons. but 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 of launch code ours is the only reality that is possible the alternative is unthinkable i can representative said super thurlow survived the atomic bomb that was dropped on hiroshima she was there and also today and paid tribute to those who died. today i want you to feel in this hall the presence of all

5:10 pm
weapons are not just a question for governments but a question for all of us as the head of the nobel committee said but there are very powerful proponents against icann and the treaty at the united nations that they helped bring about the u.s. the u.k. france and russia have not sent that top diplomats to the ceremony today as is usual protocol instead they've sent the deputies and i can say that that can only be considered a snub there's plenty more to be coming in the following hours including a banquet and a special show including forty one james bass will be interviewing the executive director for mike and. coming up in a little under two hours from now an exclusive interview with the executive director of i can be a christian that happens at sixteen hundred g.m.t. the nobel interview hosted by james space and folly but. doctors in south korea are protesting against president james plan to expand national health insurance
5:11 pm

5:12 pm
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 costs covered by the national health care are set too low 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 but 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. aren't doctors there have 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 paying more news
