a move that has drawn international condemnation it often takes i have expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disapproval of the recent declarations of the president the united states france believed to be against international law and dangerous for peace. called on israelis and palestinians to restart talks urging netanyahu to freeze illegal settlement building as a gesture of the peace netanyahu said he was open to discussions but that there could be no question over jerusalem status and purposes the capital of france drusilla is the capital of israel it's been the capital of israel for three thousand years it's been the capital of the jewish state for seven years the israeli leader also hit out of the turkish president at a one had spoken by phone on saturday the two men reaffirming their condemnation of trump's announcement. and one is attacked is with. us what is my response. i'm not used to receiving.

lectures. but morality from a little kurdish villagers in his native to palestinian leaders say but the united states could no longer be considered an honest broker in any future peace talks and bad things for megs both couldn't get the door open for him. to take the need but not everyone here was pleased with my girls decision to host netanyahu on saturday hundreds of protesters gathered in central paris. drucilla is not the capital of israel it's not only the palestinian capital it's the capital of all religions with for muslims christians jews. recently mediated in the political crisis in lebanon and he may be seeking a greater role in this one but if he was looking for encouraging signs there were few to be found here. al-jazeera paris precious associate professor of

middle east politics at the university of oklahoma he joins us from norman oklahoma and thank you for your time so the u.s. ambassador to the united nations vicky haley said that i strongly believe this is going to move the ball forward for the peace process and she says it's because he meaning donald trump to draw some off the table. do you agree with that. you know that's just absolute nonsense i don't think anybody agrees with that and then miss haley and mr trump and people around you know everyone has known for thirty years that this is one of the that one of the most sensitive issues with regard to the palestinian israeli conflict along with borders along with the plight of refugees and security issues this is a final status issue and so this is an issue that the united states could have used as leverage with both parties with the palestinians and with the israelis to

actually reach some kind of peaceful negotiation and solution with the united states has done is provided a huge disincentive for not only misrata bounce but for any arab leader to take the united states seriously as any kind of a mediator in this conflict which of course we knew the u.s. was not a neutral mediator some time ago so what should the palestinians do now it considering that you and many others say that their reality is that the u.s. cannot be the mediator the broker this going forward what should they do what can they do. that's right well they of course are in a difficult position because the united states presently is the most powerful country in the world but i think many of us have said for some time that the palestinians and the arabs need to circumvent or bypass the united states with regard to this issue that is to appeal to the international community and particularly the united nations the european union the brics brazil russia india

china and even south africa now as emerging major powers directly and by bypassing the united states that will actually show the united states that unless their position changes and they're more even handed they could be excluded from the middle east even more than they are presently going in that direction so i think that's really the strategy from now on i'm going to international venue's the united nations and all of the lead organizations without the blessing of the united states and without the united states involved i think that provides really the best hope for the palestinians achieving some kind of justice you mentioned russia and there are many countries in the past few days that have come out and denounced this we really haven't heard a lot. from russia why is that and what can they or what would you expect them to do. well that's a big question i do think that the the russians have not had to make any noise because as we've heard the last few days the international community has made

a lot of noise from pope francis to two recent major mr math problems of the german foreign minister and so on many usual allies of the united states that being said i think the russians benefit from this tremendously the russians see the world in a zero sum fashion with regard to the united states any loss for the united states is a potential victory for russia and i think russia's stock generally in the eyes of many has increased as a result of this they certainly can't trust the united states can't really trust russia but with regard to this issue the russians have been better. load abbas says that he will not meet u.s. vice president mike pence when he comes to the region what do you think about that approach that response. i think that's the appropriate response right now and i wish all arab leaders would have a similar response we've seen recently that the egyptian pope has also said he's not going to meet mr counts when he comes to cairo chief of us who has also said

he's not going to meet mr pence when he comes also to cairo i wish other arab leaders including specially those allied with the united states would it would have the same kind of reaction to really show the american administration how central how pivotal our critical this issue is through our shot at joining us in the university of oklahoma thank you thank you. palestinian christians are also expressing their frustration and he then spoke out after sunday services in gaza more than two hundred thousand palestinian christians live in occupied territories in israel are recent reports. on sunday morning massing garza is a reminder that the status of jerusalem just an hour's drive from here matters to palestinian christians as much as it does to palestinian muslims the under israel's blockade it is hard for the parishioners a simple theory is to visit the site of christ crucifixion as it is for muslims to

visit their x. a mosque compound as a ministry in. jerusalem is for the three religions we recognize it only as you tanel capital of palestine which in recent is our dignity it's the city of peace. as a christian trumps decision doesn't represent me because jerusalem is the eternal capital of palestine like. rousselin is where all prophets muslims and christians live it's a word the capital of the palestinians and will never give it up as christians we don't recognize tribes decision. simple phineas is one of the oldest churches in the world it was founded in four zero seven eight d. almost two hundred years before the birth of islam's prophet muhammad it serves gaza's dwindling community of about a thousand orthodox christians. as a couple of israel said. because it should.

peace prize and also the nobel committee praised i can for drawing attention to the humanitarian consequences of using those deadly explosives the purpose urging nuclear powers to adopt and signing u.n. treaty to ban their use all together. i has been awarded the nobel peace prize for twenty seventeen a prize for achieving a u.n. treaty banning nuclear weapons and for what i can hopes to achieve global nuclear disarmament accepting the award as i can see executive directive it was finn and set sukkot thurlow who survived the u.s. bombing of hiroshima nine hundred forty five there were tears in the audience as she recounted the horrors of that day when i was just thirteen year old girl trapped in the. rubble i kept pushing i kept moving. the light and i survived. our

light now is a ban treaty to all in this whole and all listening around the world. that i heard in the ruins of. don't give up keep pushing keep moving see the light their speech is reminded the world of the extreme threat we will live under which bitterest been reiterated june exclusive interview with al-jazeera after the ceremony we've been so close to catastrophe throughout the cold war we also had a war in iraq that was fueled by threats of weapons of mass destruction we have conflict with iran with kashmir and north korea right now look at this situation between north korea and the united states this does not feel safe past winners of the nobel peace prize or a diverse bunch from archbishop desmond tutu for his nonviolent campaign against

apartheid in south africa to martti ahtisaari for resolving conflicts in kosovo proves that the path to peace are many but nothing threatens world peace more than the fifteen thousand nuclear weapons held by just nine countries and i can says that as long as they exist nuclear disaster is inevitable. the crisis in north korea means that threat is greater than it has been in decades i can doesn't expect nuclear states to sign the u.n. treaty immediately but hopes to stigmatize the weapons like landmines chemical and biological weapons making their use and thinkable their opponent a powerful but so are the people that i can. of course the economic impacts that individual people can have so we have a major campaign called don't bank on the bomb and we're encouraging people to call their banks or their pension funds or other financial institutions and see if they have a policy to take the money away from nuclear weapon producing companies again with

landmines and cluster bombs this is how the huge impacts on this incentivizing economic investment in these weapons and we expect that the same thing can happen with nuclear weapons as well. the prize is a victory for civil groups in a rare moment of celebration the behind the smiles a stark message it's either the end of nuclear weapons well the world faces a very uncertain future challenger to al jazeera. and israel's president nicolas maduro has announced that the country's main opposition parties will be banned from taking part and next year's presidential election he said this on a day the country held its first municipal election since two thousand and thirteen three of the four main opposition parties boycotted the vote saying the electoral system is biased you know try and learn joins us now from krokus so daniel with so many parties either choosing not to participate or being banned for participating in the electoral process there how much credibility does it really have.

well that really depends on which side of the political divide the people the people you speak to are from anybody from the government anyone who supports the government will say that these election results the results still coming in from the visit with actions are credible are bonafide the result a reflection of the popularity of president nicolas maduro who's been in power since two thousand and thirteen setting the scene as you mentioned a presidential election next year the vast numbers of opposition the people who are very much against nicolas bhutto's government will say these elections were not credible that's why many of the opposition candidates chose not to participate saying that this is a flawed process and they wanted no part of it immediately afterwards president my daughter was said that these opposition parties have boycotted the elections on the longer on the political map and he will consolidate laws. that up which is really

setting the scene for a big fight i think in the years to come in the run up to those october presidential elections next year when we're going to have to see just what parts the opposition candidates as opposition parties will choose to play or not where they don't take part in the elections how they will oppose nicolas maduro his government is anybody offering up ideas solutions anything for the basics a lapse. me there what a difficult time the average voter is having. there are many different solutions no if we seem to have been very effective so far tens of thousands of venice whalers are simply leaving the country many of left in previous months going to neighboring countries in latin america and further afield how long they'll stay away from what is not clear many of the waiting until they see fundamental changes but as you mentioned the economy is in dire straits

shortages of food of medicines even shortages of money of cash. lation is running at fifty seven percent in november and accumulated inflation this year of one thousand three hundred seventy which is very difficult for anyone who's not been to venezuela to comprehend it really means prices going up every day and there's simply not enough banknotes in the system to pay for the foodstuffs when they are available so a very very difficult situation nicolas maduro coming up with a new plan a venice whale inversion of the bitcoin which he's calling the pits role which he's saying will be implemented fairly soon with venezuela's vast natural reserves of oil of gas of gold backing it up economists are really just laughing at that idea but he seems very serious about it saying that it's a way of overcoming what he calls the economic blockade imposed by outside forces against his country so all sorts of solutions ideas being bandied around the

country at the same time many many venezuelans simply trying day by day to make ends meet the political situation i think now more confused than ever simply because of those boycotts and then the banning of those political parties from taking part in the in the electoral process so i think certainly more complex a car in the in the weeks and months ahead ok daniel simon live for us in caracas thank you. thousands of hunger and to spend another day protesting against what they call a toral fraud the main opposition party says that will respond with nationwide protests that the current president has announced as the winner of last month's election the opposition candidate and the incumbent president have both declared themselves victorious the president has led the vote count by a small margin but some ballot boxes were recounted after regularities the opposition says the process was manipulated and. al jazeera has spoken to victims of mass killings in zimbabwe which took place more than three decades ago twenty

thousand people died and former president robert mugabe ordered a military campaign against a rival liberation movement and then a president emerson minako and former military chiefs appointed to his new cabinet they were and government at that time andrew symonds travel to chill out show district to meet those 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 a pit it was thirty four years ago they called it a military operation named. meaning the rains washing away the chance with let's go. with momo sibanda is trying to work out good luck with the bodies were buried up from where. they called everyone around the village to come here and dig new toilet but really reading graves rick told by those who saw the teachers the lined up the one of the young soldiers told him to move over yet 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. it all took place decades ago 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 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 minister said the bandit menace had reach 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 took these things should come and apologize to us otherwise nothing has changed in the current. special advisor to the president have this response to our report them but we need the break to continue as the erie diggins past to settle scores from the past is if it can not be the future is seemingly to and here for it's irresponsible davis in a geo way from what should be done every country's corridor tortured history going to be living there americans does talk of the civil war the american civil war no country. but you make mistakes you make false starts back in a village deep in the bush blow most a bandit goes to pray in one hour where the prayer asked for help and comfort and the words shatter the still is. or not they carry the anger and pain of tens of thousands of. andrew symonds al-jazeera. better people than.

with bureaucracy very fosset reports. in occupied east jerusalem the protests of the preceding days were absent on sunday the start of the working week so the more regular rhythms of life resume but the palestinians hear that also means dealing with the all encompassing nature of occupation extending residency i.d.'s or continuing with torturous applications to enable life in a city they see as their own if there was disadvantage i married or lived in the west bank but my sons were all born in jerusalem with the oldest couldn't get an id i've been applying since two thousand and two i born in that world city and if i. leave this city for five years i will lose my id to my identity and. this is a three inch country that you will never see it that you're never to see in the war . during this week's demonstrations israeli forces have been checking i.d.'s

on donald trump to step down over allegations of sexual harassment sanders joined two other democratic senators and the last week urging the president to resign and the past few months or a growing number of women have been coming forward with their experiences of sexual misconduct by men and power it's forced the resignation of men in their tame and media and politics most recently to a democrats and one republican from the election campaign more than a dozen women accused of sexual harassment nikki haley of the u.s. ambassador to the united nations was asked about that during a television interview how do you think people should assess the accusers of the president. well i mean that you know the same thing as women who accuse anyone should be heard they should be heard and they should be dealt with and i think we heard from them prior to the election and i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way they have every right to speak up and does the

election mean that's a settled issue. you know that's for the people to decide i know that he was elected but you know women should always feel comfortable coming forward and we should all be willing to listen to them sexual harassment allegations have dominated the campaign ahead of tuesday's special election in alabama for the u.s. senate nationwide attention was drawn to the contest after republican candidate roy moore who has been accused of molesting teenage girls while he was in his thirty's but work out the support of president trump and his party many republican voters are split sheraton's the reports. sunday at churches across alabama christian evangelicals were weighing a dynamic could they put aside the allegation of child molestation that's been leveled at republican candidates judge roy moore and vote for him or should they allow the possibility that a pro-choice democrat might assume the state's vacant senate seat if they don't for

republican elizabeth bashir there's only one possible option a lot of people myself included feel that roy moore is just not an acceptable candidate he doesn't a spouse the views that are important to me are a lot of younger people a lot of women as well just do not feel that he holds the same values that we do it's not just the allegations of sexual misconduct for years more has reveled in overt racism and discrimination but he often clicks in bible scripture recently he mused that life in the u.s. had been better while slavery existed these thoughts often delight a core right wing evangelical base in alabama who feel that washington has allowed the u.s. to descend into godlessness starting with allowing a woman reproductive rights more spoke at brian baptist church in late november and the past of this says there's no proof of child molestation the women should have due process and so should judge moore the problem is is because of the selection

being so short we had don't have plenty of time for it so you're going to have to make a rush decision but she is as she feels some more voters are employing circular thinking i also think there are some self. and some sectors in terms that well i couldn't support somebody who would do these things so there's no way he did those things because i support him this race is being defined in many different ways a referendum donald trump a key moment for the republican party so the movement with key demographics like younger people and women feel they have no choice but to split with the party's extremism even if they too are against abortion but despite the consternation that's been. nationwide about style just for the us during slavery for example he does speak for a large section of alabamians there was that insular but there were certain certain principles of that top ok that was a man's word was his was his bond so to speak we value human life better that that thomas for is the white population. in some in some areas

and if does win on tuesday night it's not as if he'll be the only republican in the u.s. senate who holds such views she overturn see al-jazeera birmingham alabama more evacuation orders have been issued in southern california as wind gusts continue to spread a huge wildfire threatening the coastline firefighters are warning the so-called thomas fire near santa barbara could become the worst in the state's history five other fires in the area are now largely under control almost a thousand buildings have been destroyed and one person was killed over the weekend abra nelson's inventory county california which has been badly damaged by the fire . you can see behind me this is kind of the worst case scenario for everyone that obviously once had a beautiful view of these rolling hills now it's nothing but a bunch of scorched rubble and the same is true of many other houses in this
