hello i'm down. live from doha also coming up protesters around the world denounce the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital the resolution against the move taking shape at the u.n. . the indian prime minister's home state gets ready to declare results after a crucial regional election. i'm going to new getting highlights the view from the world's steepest finicking a railway. chile has become the latest latin american country to shift to the political right by electing the conservative billionaire sebastian pinera as president but here is the overcame his center left opponent in the runoff the second time he's been elected to the country's highest office in america and it's on the sea and human reports

from santiago. chile's billionaire president elected got what he wanted another crack at the presidency for the second time in twenty seven years chile has swung from the center left to the center right both times the civil stamping it out the markets favorite the former president a successful businessman promises better times ahead as he extends an olive branch to the uk if he does i want to renew our commitment to old chileans a commitment to unity and dialogue and so i invite all of our previous presidents to share their experience and advice with me so that we can reach national agreements to tackle our biggest problems. at the headquarters of center left candidate. there were long faces had run on the promise of accelerating the social reforms started by the current government of president michelle bachelet but the former journalist's inexperience and chilly sluggish economic growth ultimately

gave the conservatives the upper hand bennetta has been linked to several shady business deals and political scandals but clearly it did not matter i think the general issue is that politicians announce a discredited that people just assume that they are lions or be so whatever and then choose between the lesser of two evils chileans have made their decision joining the recent latin american swing towards the political right but in this country you know would not have an easy time of it not only because the electorate has proven himself to be more demanding but also because he will not enjoy a majority in the legislature. which means i will have a hard time rolling back on still popular social reforms as is happening in brazil and neighboring argentina government is going to be more of an administrative go it's going to going to be very similar to what we saw in his first term in power it's going to be more short term oriented it's going to be related to jobs but this

time rounds of us champion. that will have to be less accommodating to the business elite the election has shown that chileans have become far more demanding and are expecting results no matter how hard they may be to deliver. the sea and human scent. in yemen eleven women have reportedly been killed off the air strikes hit a wedding procession east of the capital sana'a who fear fishel say the strikes launched by the saudi led coalition killed people as they walked to a village in my province there are reports the bride was among the victims it's a tradition in rural yemen for the brides friends and relatives to a school to the wedding ceremony they've been more protests in several countries against the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital the move was widely condemned because eastern islamist palestinian territory illegally occupied by israel. reports of the protests in the turkish capital ankara. the turks have always been passionate about the palestinian cause despite the encore

a chill protesters spent three hours listening to music and speeches and they waved turkish and palestinian flags and a fair amount of anti-american signs using holder says i'm going to take is a majority muslim country that acts unified and should lead in the muslim world if muslims are united i'm hopeful that your person in problem will be sought it. since u.s. president donald trump broke with decades of american policy and recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel the turkish street has been vocal and president regift and has emerged as a potent advocate for palestinians he's pushing for leaders to take their condemnation and transform it into action. murder one is taking his case to the heart and security council where he says he hopes to quote an old transit decision it's unlikely he'll get much traction given that the united states holds

veto power but he says barring success there he'll move on to the u.n. general assembly it's clear turkey plans on going to new and to persist and highlighting this issue to the home of the deodorant old age. i am actually very glad of the decision as it serves to unite the muslim world and get them into action. in the most populous muslim country an estimated eighty thousand indonesians marched to the american embassy in jakarta muslim clerics are calling for a boycott of american and israeli products until truck reverses his decision saying it is not going to happen i want all muslims to unite and to usher president of america to reconsider his decision for the good of all of humanity. that's unlikely considering that trump says this is a recognition of reality and it's in the best interests of the. us in the israeli palestinian peace process but protesters don't see it that way in karate thousands

showed up for what was called the holy city million march almost two weeks after trump's announcement people continue to show their solidarity for palestinians and in doing so have also revived global attention to their plight latasha guinea al-jazeera. well as natasha mentioned there the u.n. security council will vote on monday on a draw for resolution submitted by egypt calling for the u.s. recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn the gyptian resolution affirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the current status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect a null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the security council for more on that my kind of reports from the. the draft resolution being circulated in the united nations has been drawn up by egypt with input from other parties it would appear now the resolution may change in form or

shape before it's actually voted upon probably in the scumming day however the resolution as it stands at the moment does not mention the us by name i understand that various parties such as the united kingdom and indeed egypt wanted to try and keep the language as neutral as possible in an attempt possibly vain to keep the u.s. from exercising its veto within the security council the resolution as it stands at the moment is actually a restatement of the un's position on jerusalem as outlined through decades of security council and general assemblies a resolution the most recent being in november this year in which the general assembly voted overwhelmingly to declare any unilateral acts in jerusalem as null and void that phrase null and void is contained in the current draft resolution the draft resolution calls on all states to refrain from establishing diplomatic

missions within jerusalem i understand the palestinians somewhat angered they didn't want to single out the u.s. by name however it appears from this draft resolution that egypt and the u.k. have had their way too in attempt to avoid the u.s. veto however it would appear that that vetoes likely to happen with israel's enthusiastic backing which describes the resolution as a palestinian attempt to reinvent history despite the fact that it is rooted on u.n. resolutions as they stand at present but palestinians making very clear that should the u.s. veto this resolution in the security council they will attend to have it introduced in the general assembly where there's nobody to at play. well the counting of votes is underway in the home state of indian prime minister narendra modi the ruling party the b j p has controlled the western region of greece about for twenty two

years but it's facing a tough challenge from the opposition congress party with allegations of corruption against local b j p leaders the congress will succumb paint on economic issues such as the new goods and services tax but exit polls suggest a win for moody's let's get more now from to become paul and she joins us live from good surats largest city amid about what's the mood like ahead of the polls davila people expecting. hi daryn well daryn that miss fear here i would say is charge social media has been abuzz with people saying they consummate for monday which is unusual from their sunday weekend holiday people are watching this race very closely because for the first time in decades congress is putting up enough of a challenge to gather more seats or capture enough seats possibly to govern this state now many people here are divided by geographical locations rural areas

are said to be voting more in favor of congress if you go by the trends while the urban areas here in the city are leaning more towards b j p i met one of the polling stations here just behind me beyond security there's a crowd of people waiting in front of screens just wanting to see what kind of counting is coming out or what numbers are coming out so everyone here is glued to their screens glued to social media watching this very very closely and given why is this election of such great interest to the rest of the country. that's a good questions are enough one of the main reasons is the fact that the prime minister of this country has a vested interest in these elections there and there modi was chief minister here for thirteen years and he has taken it upon himself to be the face of the campaign of the ruling b j p party in fact he has come down here to campaign in self and even flew down to cost his vote which is unheard of meanwhile on the congress side

you have raul gun the the newly crowned prince of the congress party everyone is saying that this is a test his first big test to see whether he is worthy of being the leader of the congress party and whether he can lead a campaign so far in recent years his campaigns have fallen flat but here they say he's doing it right he has managed to get support from many communities who feel disenfranchised by the so-called good drive economic economic model so the whole country is watching mainly a battle between two of the biggest parties here and a personal battle between those who are fronting them. thank you. lots more still to come here knowledge is there including a power cut at the world's busiest airports not plan to cause widespread transport chaos. spain's prime minister makes a rare campaign stop in catalonia and a first days we still have more in the state.

a ground stop which meant that all of the flights that were in atlanta ready to depart had to stay grounded and then those flights that were in other u.s. cities headed to land had to stay grounded as well a number of flights international flights that were headed to atlanta were diverted to other airports the f.a.a. said it was going to keep personnel in the control tower in atlanta through the night so that once power was restored it could begin getting those flights in and out of atlanta about six hundred fifty flights in total were canceled about three hundred fifty flights were delayed most of those flights were delta airline flights because its primary hub is in atlanta united airlines american airlines and southwest airlines all said that they were going to be suspending flights for the remainder of sunday so this was a major headache for a lot of travelers and it could take a day or two before everybody gets to go where they were needing to go so

says four thousand seven hundred seventy six delegates will vote in the secret ballot vote buying and intimidation have swayed leadership contest before after years of seumas rule soaring unemployment and corruption have left millions of poor black south africans frustrated serum a person who is a wealthy businessman is backed by the business community which believes he offers the best hope for the economy and the n.c. veteran causes an ugly mean zuma is expected to deliver more of the same she's seen as more likely to protect zuma from the seven hundred eighty three corruption and fraud charges against her tiny pages move from johannesburg. all of the nominations for the top six positions in the african national congress have now been confirmed and as expected it is down to a two horse race between courses and i'd like meaning zuma who is the outgoing president jacob zuma as preferred candidate and would be the first woman president of the a.n.c. if she succeeds pitted against jacob zuma as defeated president so will. they had

been expected to be one vote to elect the top six and the other members of the national executive committee but they have decided to split the vote into there have already been long delays firstly because of legal action and see members who weren't happy with the processes at the grassroots level taking made challenges into the country's courts and secondly here at the a.n.c. elected conference they need to check all the credentials of all the delegates to decide who is and who isn't allowed to vote and that's led to the expulsion the disqualification of four hundred delegates delegates who are believed to have been in favor of let me zoom in so that may cost or if the race becomes really close in those final numbers are really tight the whole contest for the presidency is being framed as pitting a faction of reform is. against affection of patronage led by lebanese

whom he's perceived to be a continuation of outgoing president jacob zuma style of leadership governance and politics who wins this hotly contested race for the presidency will have an enormous challenge to try and unite a deeply divided and see. spain's prime minister marianna has campaigned in the region of catalonia in the run up to a crucial thursday vote which could determine the next stage of a succession crisis his party stands little chance of winning the election hopes that a coalition of unionist parties could stop catalonia from breaking away from spain has called him. with an awkward smile the spanish prime minister enters the political battleground mariano rajoy he was here to rouse loyalists from his people's party in the fight against the catalan separatist movement going to feel as part of the thank you for defending spain thank you for defending the
