this toy zero. thing as i want to finally we're going ask about it but that's the ball is a ball not i see more listeners that are not the set says the last one and the other the double of a cousin to bunches of the child at the bottom in the first episode of a two part series al-jazeera investigates the world of performance enhancing drugs . sports during the emmys chase at this time. in favor one hundred twenty eight against nine u.n.

members defy u.s. threats invoked by a huge majority against its recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up the counting in catalonia without any results suggesting pro secession parties could be set to hold on to their majority in parliament who is president defends himself as he faces impeachment proceedings in congress. and the u.s. imposes sanctions on those accused of human rights violations against the ranger and others. thanks for joining us our top story the united nations general assembly has voted by huge majority to declare u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital knol and void hundred twenty eight

members voted for the resolution with just nine against and thirty five abstentions countries who sided with america was israel guatemala honduras marshall islands micronesia now roup allow and togo reactions have been swift and uncompromising a spokesman for the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has called it a victory for palestine but israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is called the vote preposterous israel completely rejects ostracism drucilla him as our capital always was always will. but i do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd to appreciate that and especially when it gets worse our thanks to president from the numbers. for their store defense of israel and there's gold the firms of the truth it's a deal shame to those who stood shoulder to shoulder with occupation settlements

against international law. and i do appreciate very much the majority of the international community decided in spite of the threats and intimidation of the state to stand tall and to stand shoulder to shoulder with was them farsightedness international law and the rule of law another rule of the jungle or u.s. ambassador to the u.n. had warned that she would be taking the names of states which voted against washington's position mike hanna has more from the united nations in new york in the two thirds majority is comfortably reach this vote to were sweeping repudiation of president trumps unilateral action in recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel the result heralded by the apparent isolation of the u.s. delegation in the chamber and the enthusiastic welcome given to the palestinians. whose foreign minister addressed the assembly and insisted that jerusalem would be

the capital of a palestinian state mr merrill young we meet today not because of any animosity towards the us but because of its decision which constitutes an aggression on the genuine and natural rights of the palestinian people to the city of jerusalem. the israeli ambassador holding up a two thousand year old coin as evidence of israel's claim to the city it proves the ancient connection of the jewel to jerusalem and togo one dearest said guatemala join the six nations that had voted against a similar resolution affirming jerusalem status last month. and a number of abstentions increased from nine to thirty five the spec haps a result of the threats made by the us to retaliate financially against those who voted in favor this is bullying and this jabber will not bow to the duck it is unethical who think that works and dignity off member states are for sale.

let me put it in the three we will not be intimidated you can be thrown but if this doesn't make you right dismissive us reaction during the turkish foreign minister's speech and the ambassador once again adopted a threatening tone in her response not in the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation we will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations what's there are questions now about the future of u.s. led attempts to renew negotiations particularly as the palestinian leadership insists it will not talk to u.s. representatives in the light of president trump's decision the u.s. ambassador claimed the vote could determine the way in which u.s.

citizens view the united nations in reality though the result reflects a global condemnation of president trump his strategy and his policies mike hanna out his era united nations where i spoke to richard ponzi director of just security twenty twentieth's stimson center he said the lack of support from traditional allies shows the u.s. has relinquished leadership on a critical issue. this is just another demonstration of the u.s. not working not only with its traditional allies but working through multilateral bodies where in this national security strategy it states it wants to have leverage viz a viz its adversaries in advancing its interests this is yet one more demonstration of relinquishing a area of critical leadership in the world one where just a few weeks ago the palestinians middle eastern allies they would not have wished

for this action to have taken and thereby undermining the important role that the us can play in bringing the sides together to talk through these very sensitive and longstanding differences between the israelis and the palestinians. or move to catalonia where partial results say that procession parties are on track to win an absolute majority in first a snap election more than seventy five percent of votes have been counted an early exit polls suggested pro unionist parties would fall short of the sixty eight seats needed for a majority in the catalan parliament if confirmed it means that spain's worst political crisis in forty years is set to continue for brannan is with supporters of the pro-union a citizens' party in barcelona first it's called pan hall who's at the election headquarters of the secessionist e r c party the results of they've come in so as

they've come in so far karl what does this mean for the pro independence coalition . there's certainly a little of a bit of a complex picture is emerging right now more than ninety three percent of the votes are now counted and as you rightly mention it does seem that the process session is blocked has renewed its majority in catalan parliament but it also seems that the pro unionist citizens party has emerging as the single largest single individual party but to break it all down a bit i want to bring in gabrielle got a room he's a political scientist currently at the war studies department of king's college london so gabrielle we've got two pictures emerging here the big picture approach to session brought renewing its majority but a big victory as well for the citizens party what does it all mean in your view exactly the goal to initial readings of the process and block will say look we

warned elections bills in boats and also in seats that then leave you zoom in a little bit then the you look at the first political option has been through the one. there's a completely different political politic of the completely different agenda that has one vote in the votes and in seats therefore if you want to articulate the government in catalonia route you will need to make it very difficult alignments because you also have the coup which is a very radical procession party that will that has to sustain the process of government that's going to be a very hard thing over also talking about earlier as well that there is not only at a high level of polarization across capital and society but also there's a big split the urban vote versus the rural vote how do you see that breakdown look traditionally urban bode's especially around boss alone have been socialist from

the purcell which is the socialist party now all these votes have switched to through the banners and they actually have articulated the bigger majority they have worn in barcelona a gay version or not are going are there for the main capital cities in catalonia are actually voting for this part and this of course this this creates as you say a very polarized in territorial terms kountry which has different speeds which different political options very radical from one another there's also another picture here of course it was spanish prime minister mario monti enter a big bet to call snap elections here to dissolve the old capitol and parliament he was hoping that the process session parties would not renew their majority what is this going to mean for his mandate asked spanish prime minister lew the popular party house of tain the very tiny results of this election is only for for now only

four seats this for him can be a huge feat but i'm sure the reading that he will articulate today or tomorrow will be like look a parole constitution approach remaining in spain party has. when the elections. in this case in as every mother's the leader of the us has the mandate of all the catalans who or to collate the new government this can be read the same as a victory for this block before him personally and for sparty this is a problem is the problem because he house burned all the options in catalonia just waiting for let's say a bigger majority in spain but here is a complete different picture thank you very much gabrielle so we can see then from there we see the figures emerging and certainly tonight we will get a definitive count of the percentage breakdown of the votes which parties have won most seats but what is going to happen over the next days possibly over the next

three to four weeks is that it will be horse trading between these individual parties to see who can really consolidate a parliamentary majority and also what the implications of that will be both for the secession movement but also the movement of those who wish to remain part of spain my i am very magical and whole that set of core prana now because he's with supporters of the union a citizens' party and so as karl was saying there it is a complicated picture with most of the votes counted it looks as though the citizens party might have the most seats but that doesn't mean they'll be able to govern. it's almost a hollow victory you know for the. for the citizens party we're waiting to hear looks like the executives are coming out of their office where they've been ensconced through the results watching the results come out and in a summary of the. other mother is going to give an address to the party faithful

they've been embracing each other they've been cheering and really happy as the results have been coming through as the percentage of votes counted past eighty and it was revealed that they have got thirty six seats in the catalan moments. but being the biggest single party is not going to be enough to seize government it's just not going to happen and so from that point of view despite the fact that the party has done extremely well in two thousand and fifteen remember they only got twenty five seats now with the likely outcome of thirty six seats from the one point of view it's a stunning victory but it's just not enough now and we will see what the leadership says about it whether they feel that they've done the job they've held up to their part of the democratic process they've made it clear to the wider waterworld to spain in general i'm to europe the why do europe that catalonia is not just a single minded pro independence process session is a region but yeah i think they'll be

a certain amount of disappointment changed with the happiness tonight that's right not the victory in unionists will have been hoping for all that they would have expected from this election thank you very much paul brennan there also in barcelona in watching al-jazeera much more to come on the bosnian victims still waiting for justice as the u.n. war crimes tribunal closes it still as they meet the man on a mission to save traditional printing methods in taiwan. the stormy weather change grew from victoria to new south wales and his social fizzing at having dropped the temperature in sydney that's not to say there won't be a few more storms but i think the that the emphasis on this difference of temperatures a little bit less than it was twenty three is

a forecast mix in sydney showers and thunderstorms to the north towards brisbane and then disappearing into what's queen's and beyond that off to that it's in the sunny side it's pretty standard temperature regime twenty seven in melbourne twenty six in perth but it will get hotter in adelaide melbourne that's just two weeks. pulls i will start the process all over again it's still pretty hot in land forty is the forecast of alice springs and he fall foul of the tail end of that frontal system is gone through south on the news even less a little bit of rain behind but it's a fairly weak system as it might give you a cloudy part today least on friday the temps in wanting to twenty will probably rise and go nice start the weekend saturdays twenty four north to south at least on this forecast chart we've also got settled weather but at the opposite season obviously winter through japan if everything's a little bit warmer feeling in tokyo nine or ten degrees or the sun out because the breezes dropped is also that you would have a little bit in the korean peninsula stuff on the ground but far even in the air.

back let's update you on the stories making headlines the u.n. general assembly has adopted a resolution that rejects u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital under twenty eight countries voted for the measure that calls the american move now and void israel's prime minister has condemned the move as proposed stressed but the palestinian president says it's a victory for palestine. and our other top story this hour a vote counting is underway in catalonia as regional election by partial results of put separatist posses on track to keep that absolute majority. well now peru's congress is debating whether to remove president head republican chin ski from office kaczynski is opponents are trying to impeach him for allegedly receiving illegal payments from the brazilian construction company out of brush kaczynski says his government will seek fresh general elections if he's forced out marianna sanchez joins us live from lima in this corruption scandal has encompassed

a number of figures across the region tell us specifically about the allegations against president kaczynski. well maryam richard and kocinski house has been is a have has have some deals with all the bridge the brazilian company but he says that he didn't know this how did this happen the president has a company in the united states and through that company there were advice to resurfaces according to come tuesday that's were in a given given two or the bridge and four that he received to his company received nearly eight hundred thousand dollars what could change he explains is that at the time when he became a finance minister in day two he told his partners he's associates that he did not

want to know of any deals. that's his company does with anyone that he knew he was separated his separating himself from from from his company or from his companies and they and that's what he says now that's what he argues now now of course there are many is suspicions around what he says because he has no proof or can't prove yet that he indeed told his associates that and when those deals were made he it wouldn't we don't know if he didn't know but anyway all the riches had it deals in peru since one thousand nine hundred seventy nine projects construction projects and a precedent of former presidents i'll handle a little. other protest if he received millions of dollars in bribes and he's living in the united states and there's a. there's a it's

a pending for him to be brought to brew and also president former president is in jail with his wife also for suspicion. of having received money in their presidential campaign so for sure. people still didn't many people still say they can't believe that the president who to keep didn't know but and also because the precedent is that many other politicians and high government officials have been involved in this bribe scandal the largest canned and in many years in luck an american and it certainly seems to have angles to peru now as well as brazil marianna but what might how might this affect the government there will kaczynski be able to avoid impeachment well if he is removed from office which is most likely because there are eighty five apparently eighty five

votes of the only needs eighty seven well he will leave i think the soonest tomorrow and the two vice presidents are supposed to take over now there has been a lot of a lot of a criticism because both vice president said they would support and they would protect the mandate but now they have said that if president would change he is indeed removed from office they will resign what happens then is that the president of congress who is. member of the popular force party the leading party in congress he will take over the presidency and he according to the constitution he has to immediately call for general elections something that will in the end perhaps play against the majority in congress who have pushed this impeachment because when general election comes many people believe that they will not be able to have that

majority in congress again thank you very much mariana sanchez aenima. the u.s. has imposed sanctions against dozens of people and businesses accused of human rights violations and corruption one of those targeted is an army general in myanmar accused of leading a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the rich the u.s. has also dropped a new u.n. resolution banning nearly ninety percent of petroleum exports to north korea can really help it has more what this is essentially is the the first use of the trumpet ministration of what's known as the global magnitsky act that was first expanded under barack obama you know what this does as you point out as it freezes the assets blocks access to the global financial system for a number of individuals including i mean marginal accused of ethnic cleansing and of course this is a follow up to a very strong statement from the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson saying that in fact the actions against there were hinge and rock kind state amounted in the eyes of the united states to ethnic

cleansing so certainly this is an example these sanctions that have been announced of the united states using as it has said repeatedly all of its tools at its disposal to promote human rights and adding to that also to this request by the trumpet ministration to the united nations with regard to north korea feeling that the saying that were put in place there in september were violated with regard to petroleum exports now asking for in light of the view of the united states those sanctions being violated for further and tougher action the international committee for the red cross says that the number of suspected cholera cases in yemen has reached one million the u.n. says yemen is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis with eighty percent of its population suffering from a shortage of food clean water and access to health care and social good name has more. more than twenty two hundred yemenis have died from cholera since late april

people in need a shortage of commercial goods is also driving up prices. the price hike will cost starvation of thousands of people many goods can't enter the market because of the closed airports and ports on the other hand we don't have enough money to buy things not only the people but the whole country struggling to survive more than two and a half years of war has battered the country's infrastructure making the water supply unreliable and yemenis are trapped in a dangerous cycle malnutrition compromises the immune system and cholera exacerbates malnutrition the majority of people can survive cholera if given fluids to rehydrate and antibiotics in extreme cases aid groups are trying to expand access to health care and clean water one giant obstacle remains the war natasha going to al-jazeera. at least four people have died after
