for three terms and the party has ruled the state for twenty two years. and the last latin american country to shift to the political right by electing conservative billionaire sebastian pinera as president and easily overcame a center left opponent in the runoff vote it's the second time he's been elected a lot america or lasy a new man of course from santiago. chile is billionaire president elect to 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 what are you committed to old chileans a commitment to unity and dialogue and so i invite all of the previous presidents

to share their experience and advice 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 i had run on the promise of accelerating the social reforms started by the current government of president michelle bachelet but the former journalists 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 issues that politicians announce a discredited that people just assume that they are liars will be for 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 itself to be more demanding but also because you 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 new. bring argentina being you know government is going to be more of an administrative go is 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 round of us stamping it 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 and human sunday at. the un security council will vote later on monday on a draft resolution regarding the status of jerusalem and follow decision to recognize true islam as israel's capital the move a spark almost two weeks of protests around the world there was more anger across the palestinian territory overnight with protesters burning effigies of u.s.

president donald trump and israel's leader benjamin netanyahu and more countries around the world have joined in rallies to show their support for the palestinian people the tossing a name of ports from the protests in the turkish capital ankara. the turks have always been passionate about the palestinian cause despite the anchor a chill protesters spent three hours listening to music and speeches they waved turkish and palestinian flags and a fair amount of anti-american signs reasonable this is i'm going to take he is a majority muslim country that acts unified and to get should lead in the muslim world if muslims are united i'm hopeful that your recent improper mopey sources. since u.s. president donald trump broke with decades of american policy and recognize 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 this case out of 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 un general assembly it's clear turkey plans on going to new into persistent hard line is that you shouldn't have 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 saying it's not going to happen i want all muslims to unite and to 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 i've also revived global attention to their plight natasha going to al-jazeera. egypt is circulating a draft resolution calling for the u.s. recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn it states that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect or no one void unless they were ascended in compliance with the relevant resolutions of the security council i can

a has a details from new york. 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. back now to india where

the ruling looks set to retain prime minister narendra modi's home state of critical call in his life for us and goes writes largest city a matter. to be i know it's kind of difficult for you to hear there's a lot going on behind you but tell us more about what's expected from there these results and why the rest of the country is paying such close attention to these local elections. where. people already are taking the b j p s. a lot that's why you're seeing this kind of election celebrations of a particularly worrying orange or saffron those are the colors of the j.p. . the b j p has most likely retains power here but what's been interesting about this race is that this has been the closest race this century everyone has been watching this very closely here in the station shall be an interesting state if you bought it along very clear put political winds you're either t.j. p.

or your team good you're at the tory p.r. team congress. party which has not let a challenge here in two decades suddenly has risen up and lead a credible campaign led by raul gandhi the newly crowned president he has now been seen as a leading a successful movement here by bringing together disparate disenfranchised political groups so even if they don't win he's still seen as making some sort of a mark here what they have done is actually bring up more voters in numbers here for congress but the rest of the country is watching particularly closely because of who's leading the b j p and not the country's prime minister narendra modi he was chief minister here for thirteen years he personally inserted himself into the campaign year coming in campaigning coming and quoting here himself and so this has been seen as basically a marker barometer of his popularity to give it

a hall and live for us and to view thank you. so head on al-jazeera wife and lumber we meet the migrants trying to scrape a living and libya and donald trump prepares to lay out his vision for america's national security. hello there for many of us in the philippines it has been incredibly wet over the past twenty four to forty eight hours so thanks to our storm tak his while the shaky footage that shows you what it was like during the tropical storm and gradually now it's working its way towards the west here it is on the satellite picture it has disintegrated now that it's worked its way across the philippines but it's across the sea now so risk the potential for it to really intensify once more however probably it won't because the winds high up in the atmosphere very

strong and that should stop its formation and it works its way towards the west though it looks like some of us in the southern part of it now are going to have a very wet period over the next few days if the remains of this storm actually work their way towards this further south also some showers here most of the live you ones a hair over parts of java and into bali very very wet here over the past few days more very heavy downpours still to come for australia is been a problem with heat recently you can see this area of clouted it's gradually trying to edge its way eastwards and as it does so it's bringing something of a cooler change because ahead of it is certainly pretty holt thirty six degrees there in melbourne thirty one in sydney but the temperatures in sydney rice to thirty eight as we head through wednesday a very hot day and the rains not with us yet.

governmental authority under development i get a regional block has around the region they're going to south africa sudan kenya and ethiopia to try to bring together all the were inside not just the opposition and the red machar and the government the different other factions that have emerged after the fighting in july last year to try to iron out their differences and look for the way halward to end the sudan regional and international dollars which are backing the peace agreement have described it as a critical and unique round of talks to end the conflict and that this may be the only way forward for south sudan and it wants to keep on fighting for years to come . as president donald trump says he has no plans to fire the special counsel robert miller despite his administration's recent attacks on the credibility of the investigation into suspected russian meddling in last year's election a lawyer and white house transition team earlier accused miller's team of unlawfully obtaining thousands of e-mails related to the investigation a spokesman for miller said the e-mails were obtained with the account owner's

consent or through the appropriate criminal process. robert. byrd said this is a very. fair measure this is a lot of frankly because as we know there's no reason whatsoever that. a lot of lawyers work. for. the cider is a professor of public policy at george mason university explain why the truck team is targeting meller. they're afraid of what he might come up with that he actually might make charges conceivably criminal charges against the president for obstruction of justice no one knows no one knows where this investigation is going but they're trying to discredit him in order to preempt whatever he comes up with are you going to remember the robert miller is a special counsel he's not an independent counsel as a special counsel he can be fired by the president the president requested that the

justice department appoint a special counsel and he really does serve at the pleasure of the president but if trump or to do that if he were to dismiss robert mueller which he can do legally there would be a political firestorm unbelievable in the united states he has president as to to unveil his national security strategy and later on monday is expected to take aim at america's to a political rivals and identify important global challenges tom ackerman has more from washington d.c. thank you very much but you know from the outset donald trump is focused on undoing all redirecting his predecessors priorities on the world stage but his rhetoric hasn't yet been matched by measurable change generally he's followed the same policies 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. 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 advisor ajor 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 curse 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 machinea security concerns climate change this despite the pentagon's judgment that over time global warming will
