united nations general assembly has overwhelmingly adopt said the resolution rejecting president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel defying u.s. threats of aid cuts one hundred and twenty eight countries voted for the non-binding resolution thirty five abstained the nine countries that sided with america israel guatemala honduras muslins micronesia narrow. and the u.s. president was asked for his reaction to the decision but refrained from commenting and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas and french president emmanuel are about to meet in paris in a joint news conference is expected in about an hour's time we'll be bringing you that as we get it for now though mike hanna has more from the united nations in new york. the two thirds majority as 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 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 jewel to jerusalem and togo one douras and guatemala to join the six nations that had voted against a similar resolution affirming jerusalem status last month has been completed and the number of abstentions increased from nine to thirty five the special ops the

result of the threats made by the us to retaliate financially against those who voted in favor this is bullying and this jumble will not bow to the if it is unethical who think that works and dignity off member states are for sale let me put it in these three we will not be intimidated you can be strong but if this doesn't make you right dismissive u.s. reaction during the turkish foreign minister speech and the ambassador once again adopted a threatening tone in her response 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 claim the faute 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. palestinian chief negotiator condemned the decision by the u.s. but says the u.n. vote shows respect for the rule of law. it's a day of shame to those who stood shoulder to shoulder with occupation settlements against international law and i grew appreciate very much that the majority of the international community decided in spite of the threats and intimidation of their

states 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 israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the un vote for a prosperous and thanked president trump. israel completely rejects posterous resolution drucilla him as our capital always was always will be but i do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd so i appreciate that and especially i want to again express our thanks to president trump an investor group for their store difference of israel and there's the firms of the truth. we have malcolm webb standing by in gaza but first let's go to the in paris where president mahmoud abbas is due to arrive at the lease a palace to meet french president emmanuel. as i say it should be quite

a warm exchange didn't it between these two men off to france joined in that chorus against the united states. yes indeed and i think there's no doubt that the palestinian leader and the french president will certainly be talking about that vote at the u.n. general assembly the place on thursday on jerusalem we know that abbas hailed it as a great victory and that france took part as you said and france's position has been very clear manner might call said that he deeply regretted donald trump's decision on jerusalem and that france has always maintained the same position that the status of israel can only be decided in negotiations between israelis and palestinians there's no doubt the bass's coming here though he's looking for the support of france and possibly europe through france because as the palestinians of said already they can no longer really consider the united states as an honest broker but with that being the case is there room then for france to step it.

well the french president has certainly been very active in this crisis since donald trump's announcement he has spoken to many regional leaders on the telephone he has hosted many of them here at the least say we have mahmoud abbas arriving here on monday we had the king of jordan and then earlier this month the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu in fact it was during that meeting that a man or mark or urged the israeli prime minister to try and make what he called a gesture for peace and he said that perhaps israel should try and freeze its illegal settlement building that could be seen as perhaps a step in the right direction there's no doubt that what about all michael says he is doing is trying to use france's position as a country that has pretty good relations with all sides including the united states to try and push forward for talks to try and get everybody talking so that we have a situation in which there might be some steps made towards the israelis and the

palestinians coming together he said in fact earlier this week it like to see that happen in the beginning of next year ok for the moment we'll leave it there we are expecting that joint press conference in about an hour's time so we'll bring of course over to that when that happens the moment thanks very much. for the response to the u.n. vote. it's been widely welcomed here in gaza and in the west bank by all the different palestinian factions in the west bank p.l.o. official said to express gratitude they expressed gratitude for the hundred twenty eight countries that voted in favor of the resolution and sent it said it was it constituted a clear message from the international community that the illegal an extension of jerusalem by israel could not be maintained here in gaza the leader of hamas said short while ago that it was a victory for justice and called on the u.s. to a bay international will and retract its decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital

of israel and the leader of the left wing d.f.l. p. party described it as a slap to american arrogance this has been widely welcomed across all of the political factions in the occupied territories ok malcolm thanks very much for bringing us the view there from. well protests against israel on the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as its capital have been taking place in malaysia thousands gathered at the mosque in the country's image of capital promise and a deeper zach was among those attending. to spain now where the country's worst political crisis in decades looks set to continue after separatist parties won the most seats castling is snap election that wasn't a resoundingly picture as a pro unity party became the biggest in the castle in parliament but the result is a blow to spanish prime is a man or a whore who called the vote hoping to weaken the independence movement. deposed

president carter's put a man who's in self-imposed exile said that the succession movement is now stronger than ever the last of the screen you know the spanish state has been defeated and his allies have lost and has got a slap in the face from the citizens of catalonia today. the three parties. are not in any way behind the political party. with these results in hand the situation needs to be rectified to be fixed we want you to rectify all those people you have hurt. poor brian and live for us now at the catalan parliament simple separatists may have won the most seats but not the most votes so how are these results being interpreted. well there's something for everybody in these results so when you look at the different factors you've got turnout in excess of eighty one percent that's not just a record for cuts alone you know it's a record for the whole of spain in regional elections you've got the fact that it's

proportional representation here in catalonia which essentially means it's a very accurate picture of exactly how people feel you know their votes counts it's not just a first past the post system and then you've got the popular vote versus the political reality in parliaments in popular vote it's true to say that the separatists the secessionist did not exceed fifty percent they did not get a majority here but because of the way the system works in the seats they deal that they do have enough to command a majority in the parliament so that's what will they do with that so what you have is the citizens party which is a center right pro madrid party claiming victory and rightly so they are the biggest party got thirty seven seats in a seven other us the leader said that basically it was a message to the world for the majority is in favor of the union with spain but as we heard as well as the wrong. very much the leader of the separatist movement he

said he was a republican catalonia has won the spanish state was defeated several wholly recipe is a failure the interpretations depend entirely on which side of the political spectrum to stand very interesting indeed let's keep a close eye on what happens next in catalonia thanks very much. still ahead. it's time to calm the masses from zimbabwe's president today's who fled the country under the rule of robert mugabe. and like a visitor raul castro has delayed plans to step down. from the neon lights of asia. to the city that never sleeps. how after a few days of real cold weather in central eastern europe the area of real cold is

being squeezed shut to some degree by what's coming down from elsewhere and actually some visit normally breeze that might seem a little bit surprising but it emanates from a war part of the water so temperatures those single figures are coming up in vienna seven degrees not a little bit in but in fact the air is warm enough to cause an avalanche risk throughout the norwegian mountain range north to south obviously some snow coming out is cold enough for snow but the concentration of weather this is proper wet weather is for the sas or the e.g. greece and bits of turkey where rain was slowly give way to snow in the next day or so and temperatures still creeping up a little bit vias up to eight degrees not all this time i've been standing of the double figures twelve in london and ten in paris about the same in madrid this is where the woman rather weather is curiously is in the northwest of europe now obviously it could be what has been feeling cold around the coast to tunisia libya and western egypt in the last few days because the onshore breeze but the rain is of giving up to some degree seven six in tripoli wet in benghazi is much warmer

underneath this cloud by where the winds could be coming out from the south that warmth in carter is pushed away but not till sunday. there with sponsored boycotts on race. you are making a great point where their online the main us response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been the criminal mind or if you join us on sat . in the morning and says i want to cover the world in darkness this is a dialogue that could be worth leading to some of the confusion online about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera.

and again you're watching al-jazeera as reminder of our top stories this hour you gotta learn his regional elections separatist policies have won a majority dealing a blow to spanish and. there wasn't a resoundingly victory of her unity emerged as the single largest group. the un general assembly has overwhelmingly back to resolution rejecting the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel one hundred twenty eight states voted for the non-binding resolution which is nine against and thirty five abstentions yes president had threatened to cut financial aid to countries that wouldn't support have. already proposed deep cuts to foreign aid as part of his two thousand and eighteen budget currently egypt is the biggest recipient of u.s. aid behind israel followed by jordan afghanistan and kenya all nine of the top aide

recipients off to israel voted against the us except for kenya which skips the meeting of the trumpet ministration could have a difficult time crossing foreign aid some programs. like the one to egypt are mandated by congress the president can hold up the funding but new legislation to cancel it could face resistance in congress and any major withdrawal of u.s. aid to african countries that took the side of the palestinians would further open the door to china which is competing for greater influence on the continent it's got lucas is a professor of american politics at the university of birmingham joins us now via skype from me and good to have you with us scott first of all do you think this resoundingly rejection of the u.s. is policy towards jerusalem will come as a surprise to the trumpet ministration. i'm not sure of donald trump actually comprehends the notion of surprise he just keeps pointing straight ahead but certainly i think american diplomats in the state department i think the american

defense department officials will be very concerned this morning and that is that this u.s. threat has been an empty threat of the shaking of the first and what it means going forward is experience on your introduction as you really cut military aid to egypt which has been a long term american ally in the region is it do you cut aid to turkey which is a member of nato which is increasingly been cooperating with russia do you cut aid to saudi arabia which is behind yemen's sponsorship of the resolution giving the saudi arabia after israel is america's main position you know practically donald trump and his u.n. ambassador nikki haley did not succeed in short u.s. leadership they actually isolated washington at least for the moment and i think that will cause great concern amongst officials if not for donald trump but the u.s. will feel that it has to react to its size maintain its standing as a world leader so what do you think it will do. well let's be clear first of all

the us brought this issue upon itself when it unilaterally threw donald trump announced the true reason is the capital of israel. there would have been no fuss in the security council original simply if the americans had not taken that stuff now what do they do the fact is i think you'll get we're bluster from the administration i think you're get trips on a larger question or posing as the partner as the man who will bring middle eastern peace but here's a cold reality even beyond israel and palestine whether we're talking about syria whether we're talking about iran and that is the us is not necessarily at the center of the middle east and more is not necessarily the actor that others look to for the first stop the us risk actually being off to the side and we're seeing countries like russia like turkey like iran like saudi arabia each making their moves without first checking with washington as to whether that's appropriate and also speaking to our correspondent in paris just so you have with michael about that meeting the french president that with the u.s. possibly sidelined in any mediations is that for

a country like france to step in as mediator i think that's that's one to watch you know generally yes whether europe is who want to stop off on the israel palestine issue and the europeans have been rather cautious on them but we know that emmanuel back home since he became president francis what for a more assertive policy for french for france around the world and including in the region we know that the french have been willing to criticize the united states but here's the question do the french really put palestine as a priority it was what they're doing or do they continue to focus on for example cooperation with saudi arabia versus iran maneuvering with saudi arabia and other gulf countries or are they really saying this is the time now to do something significant on the palestine issue rather than all talk and little substance it's got because it's great to get your thoughts thanks for joining us there from bamiyan and. proves president petro republicans key have survived an impeachment vote in congress over corruption allegations that followed twelve hours of debate

questions he is accused of receiving illegal payments from the brazilian construction giant photographed he denies any wrongdoing address has been at the center of a massive bribery scandal that's cause political pop havilah across latin america renaissance says has more from lima this was certainly not unexpected outcome for four days now analysts have been saying all along that it was very possible that precedence in two thousand would be removed from office but the main promoter of this impeachment of popular force party did not get was eight votes short of the eighty seven goals needed to impeach a president that of our local teams. in part i think is because one faction of a left wing party that had promoted the motion to impeach the president has changed . is changed around in the last few days and now they were saying that this

was in fact echo gresham those who was against the president and the other reason i think for this unexpected outcome is that. part of the members of. the party of the popular force party led by people from community abstained from voting at least ten members of her party abstained from voting you know the special envoy for syria staffan de mistura is joining ongoing talks in cassocks on the eighth round of the so-called asuna process aimed at ending the conflict began on thursday meanwhile russia's parliament has approved the extension of moscow's lease of its naval base in syria for another five decades. the united nations says at least sixteen people have died while waiting for a medical evacuations here as besieged east and goose a region they had of the un's humanitarian task force a serious as many more will die unless the government stops blocking efforts to
