security is in climate change is out as president trump on bale's his new national security strategy. peter w. watching al jazeera live from my head quarters here in doha also coming up. what we witnessed here today in the security council isn't and so it won't be forgotten at the u.n. washington's ambassador is on a road vetoing a resolution on jerusalem then she lashes out at her colleagues. the a.n.c. veteran cyril ramaphosa is elected as the new leader of the party putting him in line to be south africa's next president. and after a billionaire conservative regains chile's presidency the stock market is on the rise but so too are fears about the future of the current government social reforms

. the u.s. president has outlined what he calls a new and very different national security strategy trump warned of a great power competition with russia and china he promised to assert u.s. dominance abroad by boosting the economy and spending hundreds of billions of dollars modernizing the military and white house correspondent kimberly help it now from washington. populism has been a hallmark of his presidency and donald trump again struck that note as he announced a strategy for u.s. national security is an approach he says began when voters rejected the security policies of his predecessors on january twentieth two thousand and seventeen i stood on the steps of the capitol. to herald the day the people became

the rulers of their nation again in a rambling and often disjointed address trump skimmed through the substance of his plan including highlighting a desire to pursue an almost cold war like mindset identifying china and russia as key u.s. adversaries despite working with russia recently to avert an attack in st petersburg area sieved a call from president putin of russia thanking our country for the intelligence that r.c.a. was able to provide them there was no specific mention of the kremlin's meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election just allusions to china and russia as use of technology to shape a world counter to u.s. values. and only a vague mention of how trump intends to combat the ongoing nuclear threat to the united states by north korea america and its allies will take all necessary steps to achieve a denuclearization and ensure that this regime cannot threaten the world overall

trumps message was thin on details he's laying out this case of you know the world is really bad it was really bad before i got here and now i'm going to fix it so it's not really about the strategy itself so much as you know the person president from determined to fix these problems. and there was only one reference to the middle east in his remarks although his strategy specifically calls on countries to combat extremist groups like eisel locally it was a speech further highlighting one of the biggest challenges for the trumpet ministrations since taking office cohesion and foreign policy success it is a challenge that appears likely to continue given the divergent positions of trans national security plan kimberly hellcat al-jazeera washington. the palestinian leadership is condemning the u.s. veto of the u.n. draft resolution on jerusalem it would have required president trump to rescind his

recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital the u.s. was on its own at the u.n. security council with the other fourteen members all voting in favor of the resolution mike hanna reports now from the u.n. those against. the u.s. exercises its veto when the resolution fails and then at some bastard a sharpie attacks the fourteen other members of your security council that voted in favor what we witnessed here today in the security council is an insult it won't be forgotten it's one more example of the united nations doing more harm than good in addressing the israeli palestinian conflict the palestinian representative is adamant that the veto is a final confirmation that the u.s. cannot be regarded as an honest broker in the region. and this resolution affects the status of the united states as a peace broker and it actually stresses its bias and it undermines its role in any

future peace process earlier ambassador after ambassador outlined why they would support the resolution the united kingdom will vote in favor of the egyptian text on jerusalem because it is in line with our longstanding position on jerusalem it is in line with previous security council resolutions israel the only other nation that backed the u.s. position they can vote on this issue again and again and again even a hundred more times but it will never change the fact that you lose a limb eve has been it always will be the capital of israel but the matter is not going to end here even before the vote was taken palestinian leadership insisted that would take the matter to the u.n. general assembly where there is no veto such a resolution would be non-binding but it would highlight the massive division

between the u.s. and the vast majority of other nations on the issue of jerusalem and the possibility too that the palestinians may now push for the international recognition of east jerusalem as the capital of palestine. mike hanna al-jazeera united nations and the white house has announced that the vice president mike pence has perspire and a planned trip to the middle east it says pence needs to stay in washington for this week's vote on a major tax reform bill but in the wake of trump's jerusalem decision of his it's also running into trouble the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas and one of egypt's top religious leaders had both announced they would not meet him south africa's ruling party the a.n.c. has announced its new leader cyril ramaphosa will take over from president jacob zuma he beat zoomers ex-wife and causers on a dilema at a delicate party conference in johannesburg our ten year page was there. hundred

several members as the new president of the african nation our home. several of them a poster supposes erupted in cheers as he was led to the stage they have penned the hopes of the african national congress and the country on him i'm so happy about the president because the president has been the member of the n.a.c. the deputy president has been in the business sector for a very long time. i'm sure during the close in the crisis that we have economy clearly is a country will have some improvements and i'm of course a has a hit for business and that could be what's needed to get the economy back on track so millions of unemployed south africans can have hope he helped write the constitution and helped negotiate the peaceful transition to democracy from apartheid skills he will need as the top six new a.n.c.

officials and all his allies these are the food outcomes for the organization i think we have good widespread it is sad to create a unit in the a.n.c. . but i'm opposed to it here it's a deeply divided and see one split between the politics of petron age of president zuma who said passively as the results were announced and those who feel the a.n.c. has lost its way prisons in this ten year has been tarnished by controversy there was the rape charge he was acquitted of and hundreds of corruption charges related to a multi-million dollar deal it will take a lot to undo the damage to the party of nelson mandela so ramaphosa campaigned on an anti corruption message policy a fresh start and a clean up more transparent style of governance and feta on his business ackermann to build a stronger economy to create millions of desperately needed jobs perhaps adama

poses viable and causes honestly. any zuma the current president ex-wife was too tainted by association with suma even her track record as a strong politician in her own right with a passion to promote the needs of the country's poor wasn't enough but it almost was his task is enormous unite a divided ainsley and prevent its slide in support from the coming terminals ahead at the two thousand and nineteen general election tiny a page out just there a johannesburg. royal smokes a car is a political analyst and author of the book when zuma goes he says run a post is when is good for the south african economy but it doesn't spell the end of corruption within the a.n.c. well i think he does about the reputation as someone who understand the basics of economics he does have a very good relationship with the private sector after you get through with part of it that's currently there and actually picking up against measure cutting so one

can say that the inaction of them of course are to become the president of the end use one step in the right direction but both of our members who are sitting with him and other top six leadership of the a.n.c. that is the top of the support these days constitute ten one and i don't think they're not helping at all they rescinded jubilation in south africa bobbie stood before him but i believe that a south african side is lifting up one of these they will realise the next day that if surely the top fifth of the a.n.c. is closer to did with men with that one man with great potential and are therefore . people there who have been aligned with that then jacob zuma who have been part of corruption in public so doesn't inspire much confidence. there have been violent protests outside the congress building in argentina's capital while politicians were debating pension reform president but as you might crease government says they
