countries around the world to do the same the fifty seven member organization of islamic cooperation did nouns the american action as dangerous and a violation of international law how many reports of the hastily convened meting of the organization of islamic cooperation is tumble members of a compromise the palestinian state with occupied east jerusalem as its capital there was strong condemnation as to for both the u.s. and israel. the palestinian president mahmoud abbas declared the palestinian school no longer accept the u.s. as a mediator in the middle east peace process in his strongest statement yet since donald trump's announcement abbas called the move a crime and added the u. and to take over the peace process there in the united states chose to lose its role in eligibility as a mediator and not have a role in the political process we will not accept any american role in the

political process from now on the u.s. is biased to israel that is our position this is a major crime that requires us to come out with decisive decisions that protect the identity of jerusalem until we end the israeli occupation of the state of palestine the summit was convened by the turkish president through egypt taib it on a self-proclaimed champion of the palestinian calls. time and kill it although i would like to call all nations around the globe to respect international law to rise up and recognize jerusalem as the occupied capital city of the state of palestine we will never give up on our demand for a free and sovereign palestinian state the capital of which is jerusalem and as islamic countries we condemn the violence of israeli soldiers our palestinian brothers and sisters protesting the latest decision of the united states and the ones hopes of uniting muslim leaders behind a top final statement from the meeting was awarded in the end the organization of

islamic countries also adopted the palestinian course and status of jerusalem as its core mission also at the meeting walking up the love jordan the lebanese president michel on the middle of qatar ship to mean been home adults any and there any and president hassan rouhani they called on muslim nations to unite to defend the rights of palestinians honey dean is it isn't call mother giving up the art when you reach rock bottom of the only way you can go is. declination might be what the palestinian cause needed to come back into the limelight i see hope in the future. in a sign of cracks in the unity of the muslim world so did it be an egypt were presented a terror led to a junior level and took a back seat in the proceedings in comments seem to be aimed at soda iranian president hassan rouhani said the only reason tom dared to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel was because some in the region was seeking to establish ties

to israel donald trump some most wanted last week prompted a massive all pouring off in the muslim world pencil fall those people took to the streets for israel and express their solidarity with the palestinians muslim leaders today here humble opportunity to do the same but everything from here on in depends on how the agreement they reach here gets implemented mohammed at the wall does it or stumble. while in washington the state department responded to the declaration by insisting that it will continue to work as a mediator in the israeli palestinian conflict as you all well know the president is committed to this peace process as committed as he has ever been and that has not changed that type of rhetoric that we heard has prevented peace in the past and it's not necessarily surprising to us that those types of things would be said we remain hard at work in putting together our plan we believe that that will benefit

both the israeli and the palestinian people well on the ground protests against the american move or continuing in several parts of the occupied palestinian territories at least one hundred twenty people were wounded across the west bank after israeli forces fired tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets. i mean it has the latest from ramallah. well certainly the anger. disappointment disillusionment and this really a lack of hope that anything will get better any time soon now if you ask people how they felt about the speech of mahmoud abbas earlier today they said it was the strongest they heard to him since a while but they were also disappointed that the final communique thinking that that did not go far enough that there's no concrete steps now what people are feeling is that. they fear that eventually despite all the efforts of mahmoud

abbas to go to the u.n. to go to the i.c.c. to exclude the u.s. from any future peace negotiations if indeed they start at any time soon they fear that they would be pressure at some point and that he might have to backtrack people say the words are all good but we've heard so many good words in the past so many promises so many. agreements signed and so many times where peace was hailed as big as being there coming soon well none of that happened twenty five years of efforts have gone down the drain so at the moment they don't really believe in anything well earlier we spoke to science dollar who's a professor of sociology and international studies at the university of wisconsin parkside he says the outcome of the summit was not what many arabs and muslims are hopeful. on the street actually the statement is seen as a bit disappointing actually it's not frustrating and to many people actually

highly insulting to many muslims and arabs who counted on the summit actually to conclude with some practical measures because it actually the whole statement amounts to nothing more than of the condemnation there are no practical measures actually and they call only for some. some some symbolic gestures like you know article the palestinian state but by the very admission of mr our best himself in his speech today a more more countries recognize a palestinian state israel actually and that does it did not change anything on the ground recognizing us is no longer an acceptable broker for the palestinians is a big deal and this may be a small step but it is a step nonetheless isn't it i think the key issue is. the idea that commitment to peace through negotiations towards a two states settlement after twenty five years of the same course that prove that

futile if not counterproductive is seen by most people as deception actually and not changing the course and on the other side that statement was made on the ground that they were calling for their you and to establish mechanisms to resolve to resolve the conflict on one side and to establish the palestinian state such such call without a central role for the u.s. is again another deception because of the central role in the for the u.s. in the u.n. and the security council and the international community as a major international polar. so i've done a speaking to my colleague fully but he burrow earlier well south korea's president is in beijing to hold talks with his chinese counterpart xi jinping the moon is hoping to repair relations of to the u.s. deployment of the anti missile defense system and good china the threat from north korea will be high on the agenda of us will trade because you have

a cousin from seoul south korean president says this trip is very much about rebuilding trust between china and south korea there was a dispute over the u.s. missile defense system known as that south korea says it was installed on south korean soil to protect against the threat from north korea but china had concerns over its strong radars posing potential security risks it says against china but in october the two countries agreed to move past this dispute and it's hoped that this meeting between the presidents will allow the two countries to focus more on other issues including the threat from north korea both countries have a border with north korea and want to prevent war on the korean peninsula at all costs particularly when the united states at times has reminded north korea that the military option remains on the table u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said that china is putting preparations in place

for the potential influx of refugees from north korea so when president moon meets president xi jinping in beijing there will be a hope for discussions on how to promote peace and stability in the region. let's go to europe now where the u.k. prime minister treason may have suffered a major blow to her all thorazine after m.p.'s voted in favor of a break sit to measure she strongly opposed a dozen government m.p.'s sided with the opposition to require a parliamentary vote on the u.k.'s final breaks it deal with the european union may had promised parliament what she called eight meaningful vote on breaks it but opposing moves to make that vote binding the amendment passed by four votes and is likely to complicate made efforts to negotiate britain's departure from the e.u. well our u.k. correspondent barnaby fillets took the road east out of london to gauge the mood in what could be a pivotal week for breaks in negotiations. winter on the essex riviera

father who saw their father shot by the military in cameroon and then the mother died a few days later leaving them at the mercy of community members and government and nongovernmental organizations in the nigeria side of the border we also met a woman. track three long days to arrive the nigerian side and a few days later she delivered a boy now what they're saying is that they are not willing to go back home now because of the tense situation there they needed shuras years before they go back because they hear that the continuing military operations in southern cameroon is still happening and they want reassurance there's before they go back or now this particular camp in this particular camp we heard stories of deprivation people needing help help assistance food and shelter the non-governmental organizations around are trying to help out as much as we can but they are not enough evidently. now the u.n. is warning more than four hundred thousand children under five in the democratic

republic of congo could die within months without a merge and see intervention eighteen months of violence and the displacement of one point four million people in the region has led to severe food shortages the u.n. says three quarters of a million children their work. it's urging the international community to get behind the measures the response to the crisis or risk a human catastrophe in twenty eight scenes to south asia now where it's a prestige battle for indian prime minister the renderer modi as voters in his home state of gujarat cast ballots in the second phase of polling now the regional election is taking place in a state where modi's party the b j p has been in power for the past twenty two years but the opposition congress party and its leader a whole gandy have mounted a surprisingly strong challenge will give you a compiler's following events for us from the state capital emma the bottom really good right as we say is the prime minister's home state it is his stronghold it's

a litmus test of his performance as he took office what in twenty fourteen so really this should be a no brainer. absolutely this should have been a foregone conclusion but over the past year or so hale there have been rumblings of discontent in the form of protests and agitations mostly from the rural community and possibly small time traders and many other small disenfranchised group that came to fruition and became apparent in phase one of these elections where half the one hundred eighty two seats were contested on december ninth there wasn't the turnout of committed b.g.p. voters that were expected so suddenly congress can pose or is seen as posing a stronger challenge and what's happened is many people have been voicing concerns about unemployment the economy here and many other issues and particularly farmers about half of the population here are by their relying on their cultural

community or are part of the agric cultural community of course. as i mentioned the litmus test really for the b j p for congress it's an important period of time as we head towards a general election in twenty nineteen when dutch election might be called or whether congress will be the force but it could because it was wiped out practically in twenty fourteen. yeah absolutely and now what's also interesting is that congress is seen as conducting quite a successful campaign here that's resonating with the public and also the fact that raul gandhi was recently crowned president of congress has also made it even more important for congress to be doing well in these elections a win here for them would mean that raul gondry get some validation his leadership would get some credibility and also be seen that congress would have

a chance at the twenty nine thousand elections now you mentioned that this is a prestigious battle for modi indeed this is his state. his home state this is more a lot more of that stake for him this is a popularity battle for him and also a litmus test for his policies in recent months he's introduced several economic policies that have been widely criticized and the last year which would just underline the fact that his economic policies his direction of development that he's you know touted as the good model and for the whole of india it's not working and just finally able to really gauge the sense on the ground very because two big issues have taken hold since modi took office one is the g.s.t. the extra tax on goods and also we've seen in the last twelve months the removal of the old one thousand five hundred rupee note under more card based economy which is

really affected people for example that don't have bank accounts. absolutely and you know what a lot of people here rely on cash and one that denomination taking away those large denominations had basically crippled a lot of small businesses here and your average trader and also the geas she was she innocent an arduous complicated process which did not benefit the smaller trader the smaller enterprises and said would benefit larger corporations so that is the main issue at heart here what people are saying is a lot of his policies particularly in goods which is seen as the model of development have benefited large companies those already who are part of the elite and the smaller people are struggling we also spoke to some voters here who said that there's a huge issue of brain drain from good drugs state where young people are looking elsewhere for education and employment so it's not just the rural community that is

disenfranchised there is also part of the urban community that feels that more needs to be done and perhaps we'll be looking elsewhere politically well it's a fascinating battle and we'll come back to you as the day progresses when those results are announced thanks to you. now the un special envoy to syria has urged russia to convince the syrian government that there is no time to loose on reaching a peace deal speaking to a swiss television channel thirteen de mistura said failure to make peace quickly would lead to a fragmentation of syria and russian president vladimir putin to push bashar al assad's government to accept that there has to be a new constitution and you will actions to the americas now where ecuador's vice president has been sentenced to six years in prison after being found guilty in the obrecht go rupture and scandal now in the national court convicted george glass of accepting roughly thirteen point five million dollars in bribes from the brazilian construction giant to win business contracts five other others including glasses

uncle were handed the same jail. now long lines and shortages of basic items have become normal in venezuela present because madeira plans to launch a new crypto currency petro which he says will solve the current country's economic problems but as the reports from caracas with prices rising almost every day things may not be quite that simple. some of these people have been queuing since three am not always sure what is available or what it will cost they're hoping to find basics like rice powdered milk and toilet paper to get a look at where you take what you can but there's not much variety one day that might have any b. flour or rice oil or toothpaste. prices rise almost daily inflation in the vendor was nearly fifty seven percent the accumulated rise this year is one thousand three hundred seventy percent this coffee cost fifteen thousand body about is that's

about four and a half dollars at the official exchange rate which almost no venezuelans can afford to use or about fifteen cents on the black market which almost everybody is forced to use if they can find enough of these almost worthless banknotes. they're in short supply ration by the bank machines which emits only enough the small purchases those venice whalers with bank accounts use plastic cards but the fragile infrastructure means the system is often down some use because then there's this weekend on gianni the petro i'm going to call it the petro venezuela's own crypto currency he could boost venezuela's economic sovereignty and help defeat the economic blockade against us in the streets of in this way limbic coin the president said it'll be backed by his country's ample oil gas gold and diamond but the colonists say such a system needs the confidence of investors and even on the street there's not much

of that about it the day. very sad it's even more sad when you live to well and reach my age and you've got nothing and no way of solving anything. thousands have left the country and thousands more are planning to blaming president but dawdle to mismanaging the economy for straight to the country with abundant natural resources such economic misery see been a. if in this weather is lucky or with the power of its citizens it can change things soon then venezuela could recharge its economy and limit the damage in the next few years but if this crisis continues it's going to leave deep scars for generations to come we're not there yet but we risk being there soon but. meanwhile many even this whalen's a simply occupied with finding enough to eat and if and when they do away with paying for it. when they're all just caracas. now the u.s. says it's close to regularly deploying cyber soldiers into battle the goal is to be
