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 a 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 advise with me so that we can reach national agreements to tackle the 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 american swing towards the political right i would suggest getting it out would not have an easy time of it not only because the electorate has proven itself to be more demanding but also because you will not enjoy a majority in the legislature. which means speaking it 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 is going to be more short term oriented it's going to be related to jobs but this time . rounds of

a stampede out 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 in human. to yemen now eleven women have reportedly been killed off the air strikes hit a wedding procession east of the capital sana who hear fishel say the strikes launched by the saudi led coalition killed people as they walked to a village in modern province there are reports the bride was among the victims it's a tradition in rule yemen for the bride's friends and relatives to escort her to the wedding ceremony. the been more protests in several countries against the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital the move was widely condemned because east jerusalem was palestinian territory and he occupied by israel was natasha the name reports from the protests in the turkish capital ankara . the turks have always been passionate about the palestinian cause despite the

chill protesters spent three hours listening to music and speeches they waved turkish and palestinian flags and a fair amount of anti-american signs using all of this is 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 read. 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 on this case and security council where he says he hopes to quote an old transit decision and it's unlikely he'll get much traction given that the united states holds

a veto power but he says barring success there he'll move on to the u.n. general assembly it's clear turkey plans on continuing to persist and highlighted this issue only to go to the 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. you know you so much that i want all muslims to unite and to urge the 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 going to does iraq. well as natasha mentioned that the un security council will vote on monday in a draft resolution submitted by egypt calling for the u.s. recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn the egyptian resolution affirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have old of the current status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect on null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the security council it's more than that my kind of reports from the u. . the draft resolution being circuit 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 us by name however it appears from this draft resolution that egypt and the u.k. have had their way too in attempt to avoid their u.s. veto however it would appear that their 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 is nobody to at play at least nine people have been killed after two suicide bombers attacked a church in southwest pakistan gunman wearing explosive vests trying to storm the christian methodist church in the city of quite a police shot one of them dead while the other exploded his suicide vest i saw a spam responsibility for the attack has more from islamabad. and there tag on a method to. leave the number of people dead many more wounded now according to the security forces.

and because. the warship was. mad now according to up to four hundred women and children and warship was president. however it was a timely action by security guards that killed at least one of the. gate. close to the hall however unable to penetrate. and blew himself up so indeed a deadly attack once again on a. cross country day was because of the christmas holidays and also the fact that there have been a watch again. at least eleven police officers have been killed by the taliban in helmand province the assaults on the two police posts happened. in the latest in a series of attacks and down security forces claimed by the taliban group as

a strong and growing presence in helmer. well the counting of votes is on the way in the home state of the indian prime minister narendra modi the ruling party the b j p has controlled the western region of iraq 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 also campaigned on economic issues such as the new goods and services tax but exit polls just to win the modem's party let's get more from difficult pollen she joins us live from good droughts largest city amid about the divot what's the mood like ahead of the results and what people are expecting. there in the atmosphere here is charged people watching this so closely primarily for the main reason that people are either on team congress or team b. j.p. the one thing about this state is that it's very clearly divided along these political lines and so people now see congress as having

a chance for the first time in decades to either win a large number of seats if not win a majority which would mean that they could govern the state next and so everyone is more ching their screens very closely checking media social media constantly they in fact just beyond these police barricades there's a massive screen set up and there are crowds gathered around it what we're seeing right now is trends coming out as the counting and she's been three arsons accounting usually by this time you will get a clearer transit usually in favor of the b j p but this time we're not seeing that what we're seeing is a very very close race and so people are watching this as closely as the best way i can describe it is as closely as they would a cricket match in this country and different ones a selection of such great interest to the rest of the country. that's right there and it's not just here that this race is being marked so closely also across the other states in this country one of the main reasons as you

mentioned is that never enter modi the prime minister used to be chief minister of the state for thirteen. years and he's personally invested in self in the campaign for the b j p to win this state he's shown up in several campaigns and he's blown down here from new delhi to cast his vote in a very public manner and that's unheard of now he sees this or many see this as a loss would be a personal affront to head a rejection of his policies and would be a huge a sign that the b j p is not continuing its path to popularity rise for congress who recently haven't had a new leader raul gandhi this would basically define him as the leader of that party the main opposition party this is all to give the party confidence in the next eight states elections which are coming up and perhaps give them a chance to win in those elections that done really badly in recent elections and therefore set the tone for the direction of the leadership of this country. thank

you. notes also to coming out al-jazeera including donald trump or past and lay out his vision for america's national security. trying to make a good clean living we need migrants seeking a better life in libya or in the stay with us. with. hello again as we look at the weather in the levant and western parts of asia pretty quiet at the moment temperatures much of this should be eight there in kabul twelve in toronto eighteen for baghdad and on the eastern side of the mediterranean to germany where the conditions are looking fine let's move the forecast through into choose so we have got some showers across parts of turkey and perhaps more the way of cloud i think across the eastern side of the mad but otherwise still temperatures looking pretty good for beirut so let's head down into the arabian

luxury and pristine. wonder when east meets the new maharajah at this time on al-jazeera it's impossible to underestimate the size and scale of the economic crisis it's not just about the billion. dollars of debt it's not just about the banks it's not just about the government real. welcome back a quick recap of the top stories here on al-jazeera sebastian pinera set to return to chile's presidential palace off a decisive victory in sunday's runoff election with almost all the votes counted

the conservative billionaire has around fifty four percent a short time ago the center left opponent former t.v. presenter. conceded defeat. eleven women have reportedly been killed off the air strikes hit a wedding procession east of yemen's capital sana. officials say the strikes launched by the south in the coalition killed people as it was at village in profits. and ballots are being counted after elections in the indian state of gujarat the ruling p j p party has controlled the state for twenty two years but the opposition congress party is hoping to cause an upset after criticism of prime minister narendra modi's ambling of the economy. the us president donald trump and unveil his national security strategy later on monday he's expected to take aim at america's geopolitical rivals and identify key global challenges as more from washington d.c. thank you very much pleasure. from the outset donald trump is focused on undoing or

redirecting his predecessor's priorities on the world stage but his rhetoric hasn't yet been matched by measurable change generally he's followed the same policy and he may have wanted to radically change our policy toward russia but he's been unable to do that. in his national security message mandated by congress trump is expected to brand both russia and china as quote revisionist powers whom america must recognize as adversaries despite drums and willingness to say a bad word about vladimir putin i feel that having russia in a friendly posture as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world he's grudgingly approved added sanctions against russia which obama launched to retaliate for the reported cyber intrusions into the american electoral process since taking office trump has softened his campaign language about china which he did cues to economically abusing the u.s.

we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. the president has escalated his verbal bluster and shows of military muscle in response to north korea's mounting nuclear threats. but a clear course of action has been muddied by friction between the white house and secretary of state rex tillerson a few days after he suggested talking to the pyongyang government quote without preconditions tillerson fell back in line with the administration's tougher tone our communication channels remain open north korea knows they're open. they know where the door is they know where to walk through that door when they want to talk . after claiming much of the credit for ousting eisel from its strongholds white house national security adviser ager mcmaster promised the u.s. would prevent a fractured iraq from turning into an iranian client state we are committed to want to work together with courage leadership iraqi leadership mediate as best we can

and to also limit the destabilizing influence of of others in the region but the administration has deferred action on its threat to abandon the iran nuclear deal at the risk of isolation from america's western partners to the agreement. yet trump has reversed course on one of obama's prime national security concerns climate change this despite the pentagon's judgment that over time global warming will destabilize more governments and societies with unforeseen consequences tom ackerman al-jazeera washington power at the world's busiest airport has been partially restored after a ten hour cut forced the cancellation of more than a thousand flights the outage had to atlanta's hartsfield jackson early on sunday afternoon leaving thousands of passengers stranded on a fire in the underground electrical facility is suspected as the cause around two thousand five hundred flights and two hundred seventy five thousand passengers use the airport each day flights connect around seventy international destinations

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 been long delays firstly because of legal action and see members who weren't happy with the processes at the grassroots level taking meds challenges into the country's courts and secondly here at the a.n.c. elective conference they need to check all the credentials of all the delegates to decide who is and 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 the faction of reformers by saul ramaphosa against the faction of patronage led by lebanese whom he's perceived to be

a continuation of outgoing president jacob zuma style of leader. 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 c. . protesters are again venting their anger togo's president. in anti-government marches across the country nearly every week since august is in nigeria currently chairing a summit for the leaders of the economic community of west african states protesters are angry that togo's ongoing political crisis is not on the sun its agenda want him to step down the two term presidential limit introduced. there are about a million people on the streets they want to get the message across to the west african heads of state at the summit in a bougie togo is the only country in the sub region that has no presidential term
