vote today look up what we all we call all the members today to vote for this resolution because it is an agreed upon. draft resolution that includes wording from other draft resolutions and it calls upon all parties to respect international human here managerial law and international humanist and human rights law including the protection of civilians and read the law and restraints is the need to take the necessary measures to save and protect civilians and hold accountable on violators it also calls for the need to respect the human the mandatory an international law it also calls upon the security council to take into it to submit reports as soon as possible and really examine the present situation as soon as possible. especially proposals on ways and means for

ensuring the safety protection and well being of the palestinian civilian population under israeli occupation including enter area my recommendations regarding an international protection mechanisms we call upon member states again to vote for this draft resolution in this very sensitive situation thank you mr president. i thank the representative of kuwait for his statement. and now give the floor to the distinguished representative of the united states. thank you mr president and i congratulate the russian federation on the presidency this month i want to thank the polish mission for everything that they did last month and helping all go smoothly and i would like to clarify before i get started with my kuwaiti friends that they did not take into account everyone's

edits because we had quite a few and their work concerns on this council at the fact that hamas wasn't mentioned in the resolution the resolution offered by quite represents a grossly one sided view of what is taking place in gaza in recent weeks anyone who cares about the peace process should vote against it but make no mistake regardless of how others choose to vote the united states will oppose this resolution and we will veto it if we must the terrorist group hamas bears primary response of. the terrorist group hamas bears primary responsibility for the awful living conditions in gaza it is hamas that has served as the defacto government of gaza for the last eleven years it is hamas that has consistently diverted humanitarian assistance into military infrastructure building rockets instead of schools

producing terror tunnels instead of hospitals it is a mosque that has attacked the very humanitarian access points into gaza that are lifelines for the palestinian people. it is hamas and its allies that fired rockets at least seventy of them this week alone indiscriminately into israeli communities it is some us that has incited violent acts at the boundary fence purposely infiltrating its terrorist fighters among civilians deliberately using innocent people as human shields it is hamas that openly calls for the destruction of the state of israel it is a must that refuses to cooperate with the palestinian authority to unite in the pursuit of peace and yet kuwait's resolution makes no mention of hamas none at all instead the resolution places all the blame

on israel kuwait actually blames israel for hamas firing rockets onto a kindergarten playground in israel it conveniently ignores the fact that there is not one single israeli settlement or soldier in gaza there have not been any since two thousand and five it of it ignores the fact that according to hamas officials themselves the majority of those killed by israeli defense forces in recent weeks were members of the hamas terrorist group not peaceful civilians and finally this resolution perpetuates the bias toward israel that has long been the hallmark of the united nations. it is resolutions like this one that undermine the un's credibility in dealing with the israeli palestinian conflict. because this

resolution is wildly inaccurate in its characterization of recent events in gaza and because it would harm any efforts towards peace the united states will oppose it and will veto it if necessary but there is an alternative for those who are able to bring themselves to recognize the reality that hamas terrorism is a considerable factor in the recent unrest and for the terrible conditions in gaza we are offering a separate resolution this resolution rightly places responsibility where it belongs it contains many features that kuwait's resolution lacks it condemns hamas is indiscriminate firing of rockets against israeli civilian communities it condemns hamas is diversion of resources into military infrastructure it demands that hamas stop its deliberate efforts to put palestinian civilians at risk at the

boundary fence by offering this resolution we are giving members of the security council additional options. you can choose to condemn the terrorists who are responsible for inciting violence in gaza and against condemning a country for acting in self-defense just as any of us would do you can choose to cast your votes in ways that condemn both parties or neither party. finally you can make the choice to vote for the quite resolution and against the american resolution in doing that you would make it clear that you believe all responsibility lies with israel and none lies with the hamas terrorist group. the situation in gaza is truly tragic no one should have to live in such conditions the united states remains fully determined to pursue a long term peace agreement between the palestinians and the israelis such an

agreement would benefit the entire middle east region and most especially the palestinian and israeli people but a necessary precondition for peace is recognition of reality one of those realities is that hamas is a major impediment to peace they are in charge of gaza and they use their resources not to help the people of gaza but to wage war against israel another reality is when the united nations sides with terrorists over israel as the kuwait resolution does it only makes a peaceful resolution of this conflict harder to reach we strongly encourage this council to vote against kuwait's resolution and ignalina the concerns of hamas by voting for the us resolution each of you have

a choice you either support hamas or not this vote will tell the story thank you. i thank the distinguished representative of the united states for a statement. that marshall first put to the vote the draft resolution contained in document s. last twenty eight teams last five sixteen submitted by kuwait. all of those in favor of the draft resolution contained in document twenty. five sixteen please raise their hand. w. those against you those against. those do not hold abstentions.

the results of the voting are as follows ten votes in favor. one voted against. and four abstentions. the draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of this council. i know give the floor to those members of the council who wish to make statements after the vote. you have been listening to the un security council voting on a draft resolution put forward by hugh waits that resolution indeed failed because one word the permanent members voted against it that being nikki haley of the united states let's just bring in james bays our correspondent who's been obviously

watching these events james not a surprise is that the united states did vote against it when now expecting the resolution put forward by the united states how will that be differing. well it's a very different resolution the u.s. originally said it would cast this as amendments rather than a new separate resolution the reason for that is if it was amendments you would vote on those first before the kuwaiti resolution so there was a procedural trick some diplomats have described it to me that would have meant the u.s. would have got theirs voted on first that's not now going to happen didn't happen and in fact we're going to have a series of speeches now before the us version very different resolutions voted on worth me just updating you if i can on exactly how people voted because that is a resolution the queta resolution that would become a u.n. security council resolution because it got the required nine votes in fact it got

ten votes in favor the reason it doesn't become a security council resolution is because one country voted no and that happens to one of the permanent members and they have veto power and that of course was the united states i couldn't see on the pictures all of the hams when the stench ns were there but i can tell you there were several abstentions there the netherlands poland and u.k. were among those that sort of sided with the u.s. yes they didn't they didn't vote no with the u.s. but they certainly didn't vote yes with the kuwaiti ambassador and he would have wanted that but i still think equate he's will be declaring a moral victory here the fact that this should have gone through if there wasn't as there is of course of veto at the u.n. security council we now have to watch very closely the numbers for the very different u.s. draft which is significant i think because it focuses very much on hamas and hamas

is activities and houses rockets if the u.s. draft went through would be significant i think for one particular reason and that's the fact that it brands hamas a terrorist organization now the u.n. does not consider how mass to be. it's a political and paramilitary group but it's not designated as a terrorist group if the us resolution was to be passed then it would be the first time the un had a language passed by the security council describing hamas as terrorists james and some of the comments obviously nikki haley made that talking about the the q eight c. resolution as you mentioned very much to do with hamas and it seems that the two of the main points that the queue waiting to draft at least the initial one maybe not the watered down one where an international protection mission to protect palestinians in gaza in the west back and also deplore deploring of the excessive disproportionate and indiscriminate force by israeli forces with the u.s.

resolution are we going to hear any of that a sign of things or is it all going to be do you think criticizing hamas saying hamas is at the root of the problem. i don't think actually so you have got a copy of it here i had it for several hours and there is no criticism of israel the closest it gets is a call for restraint from all sides so a very different resolution it's worth noting that no point has condemned israel for its actions and for the death of palestinian civilians that's something that she has not done at any stage and she's never joined her other colleagues in the security council including her close allies for example the u.k. their ambassador karen pierson are speaking who have called for an inquiry into the use of lethal force force by israel that is not being supported by nikki haley either those are just going to quickly listen back in again to the u.n.

security council because as you say the united kingdom abstained and i believe the representative for the u.k. karen pierce is now has to fill such acts of terror destructive to peace efforts and they need to stop. and in the past weeks we have seen violence and mass exploitation of peaceful protests and the disturbing volume of life. masses military wing has been prescribed as a terrorist organization by the u.k. since two thousand and one and the united kingdom has sanctions in place against senior hamas officials the recent violence has led to the tragic loss of life of over one hundred palestinians and we reiterate that there's an urgent need to establish the facts surrounding past week's events. mr president the deteriorating situation in gaza should concentrate our minds on how we can work urgently towards a resolution of the long standing issues between israel and the palestinian people

the united kingdom has long supported un action on the israeli palestinian issues it is therefore regrettable mr president that today's resolutions contain elements that are right around balanced or to say to be viable for example the q eighty text fails to name terrorist actors including a mass and palestinian islamic jihad and its suggestion of an international protection mechanism is raising unrealistic expectations. we condemn him but at the same time we regret that the american text does not adequately reference israel's responsibilities and obligations with regard to guns. therefore mr president the united kingdom will abstain on both resolutions today i have sent out principal trash now and nothing more should be construed thank you. your.

english representative of the united kingdom i don't know if there's a flaw to the distinguished representative from the us so you're just listening to the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. karen pierce there are just going to go back to our correspondent jane is based i maybe that was the real no but the issue here that the key way to resolution doesn't really recognize hamas is role and what's been going on at all and the other side of things the u.s. resolution doesn't implicate israel. well certainly that i think it shows the divisions around the security council table that already exist always on this issue so you're right that i think it's interesting to hear that the u.k. which all miss issued tends to be one of those that supports the u.s. a little bit more than many others is going to abstain on the u.s. a draft i would think that is not particularly good news for that u.s.

draft which will be voted for after we heard the speeches of quite a few more ambassadors probably in about another thirty five to forty minutes i think we're going to probably now my guess work is we're going to see a situation where we have two rival resolutions both of them are going to be defeated one the kuwaiti has already been defeated because of u.s. veto the u.s. one i think it's quite possible we defeated because it doesn't get the necessary nine votes because a number of the u.s. allies abstain or late and then you have a whole day of all of this diplomatic frenzied activity and nothing that in any way helps palestinians or israelis many thanks james james bay is that a summing up exactly what we've been watching at the u.n. security council and of course we'll come back to it when we have some sort of votes on the u.s. resolution.

and other news a u.s. president on chance has his historic summit with north korean leader kim jong un will go ahead on june the twelfth plan and speaking to reporters after meeting kim his most trusted aide at the white house said he thinks a summit in singapore will be successful he also said he believes pyongyang wants to continue clear ice and develop its economy. we're meeting with the chairman on june twelfth and i think it's probably going to be a very successful ultimately a successful presence will soon remember what i say we will see what we will see but i think it's going to be a process that we deserve to have i mean we'd really does if they were they want it we think it's important and i think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have it i think we're going to have a relationship and it'll start in june where. oh i tossed correspondent kimberly

how can towns more from washington d.c. . after meeting nearly two hours in the oval office donald trump emerging from a his sit down with the vice chair of north korea kim yong chill to tell reporters that the summit that had been previously canceled now back on in singapore on june twelfth donald trump explaining though that there should be no expectation of a deal on that date out of denuclearize ation the goal of the united states but instead that this will be the beginning of a process something that north korea was looking for denuclearize ation that may be incremental versus the immediate verifiable permit that the united states is seeking also significant the dialing back of language by the u.s. president with regard to the strict financial sanctions against north korea put in place by the united states typically the u.s. calls this is the maximum pressure campaign but now the president saying he no

longer wants to use those words because he believes the relationship is building and progressing he also said that the sanctions that had been rumored to be put in place he confirms that in fact there were hundreds of sanctions to be readied if north korea was not cooperating those for now on hold so certainly right now the u.s. president believing that there is an opportunity to end what he called years of hostility and hatred and an opportunity to build a relationship on june twelfth in singapore with a meeting now back on between the u.s. president and the north korean leader kim jong un. a french newspaper is reporting that saudi arabia is threatening military action against cattle if it acquires russian weapons newspaper says the saudi crown prince has written to the french president to wall it is ready to retaliate if acquired is the s four hundred anti aircraft defense system. to moscow said in january that his country intended to

continue to follow the four point proposal by the chinese president xi jinping for the political settlement of the palestinian issue and we will work with the international community and play an active and constructive role in promoting peace in the middle east i thank you mr president. i think the distinguished representative of china for his statement you've been listening to the e.u. the chinese ambassador to the u.n. new j e explaining why he indeed voted in favor of the q eighteenth resolution ten countries and all voted in favor of the u.s. the only want to vote against it of course as a permanent member of the u.n. security council they managed to veto this resolution which is brought by q eight on the palestinian issue i will be going back to the u.n. security council when we have a more interesting speakers in a few minutes time the european union has launched a dispute settlement case the world trade organization in response to the u.s.

decision to impose tariffs on steel an element in the e.u. along with canada and mexico says it will retaliate against the move promising levies on billions of dollars of u.s. goods that's a small. the european union must defend itself this is the message from the blocs trade commissioner who says e.u. leaders are united in imposing retaliatory tariffs on u.s. exports we are not seeking to to escalate any situation but but we need to respond and we do so in a measured manner. but not responding would be the same as accepting these these tariffs which we consider are illegal and against. there's no word on exactly what the terrorists would be on or when they'd be imposed but they're expected to target a range of u.s. imports from jeans to motorcycles the e.u.'s foreign policy chief says a dispute settlement procedure is being launched at the world trade organization

but a trade war isn't wanted the european union is a peace project including on trade we believe in. global free fair trade and we will continue to do so. donald trump's announcement on thursday to impose a twenty five percent tariff on e.u. steel imports and ten percent on aluminum has infuriated e.u. bidders the french president who's worked hard to develop a good relationship with his u.s. counterpart hardened his tone i like him a lot he said i think that this decision is not only illegal but it's also a mistake because it addresses the already existing international imbalance by further dividing it by bringing economic and trade nationalism nationalism is war era leaders may be united for now but will they remain so over the question of whether or not to enter into trade negotiations with washington the twenty eight member bloc has to act on consensus but finding

a common approach will not be easy germany is likely to want to avoid a full blown trade war as the largest european export of the us it has much to lose france on the other hand may pursue a tougher line. something made clear by the french finance minister. we do not discuss under pressure and we do not negotiate under pressure i think we must return to more wisdom in the world traitorous. the e.u. is one of the main trading partners of the u.s. for now e.u. leaders are speaking with one voice their factory job some political reputations at stake that may change as the impact of u.s. tariffs of felt the bottler al-jazeera paris. of brazil state controlled all produce a patch of brass has resigned after the government intervened in diesel prices president michel tamar announced plans to bring fuel prices down after a truck driver strike crippled the country the nine day protests caused shortages

a nicaraguan farmer who traveled to my now i want to take part in the demonstrations says even under the care of faith leaders he still fears that more attacks are coming to begin with we're going through oppression despite staying at the cathedral because these people don't respect anyone that respects priests so human rights only god can help us here. it's not the first time police officers have fired on demonstrators standing on the grounds of this cathedral since the unrest began nearly six weeks ago pro-government paramilitary groups continue to face off with protesters some wielding homemade mortars a man barricades and keep a close watch over who they allow pass snipers an armed groups believed to be under the command of president daniel ortega left at least sixteen people dead and another seventy nine injured after a protest that drew nearly half a million people to the streets of managua president ordered to go however continues to deny any involvement in the violence. humanitarian organizations have

condemned the government crackdown on dissenters any care you about our process of amnesty international says the evidence of human rights abuse by the government is clear the use of these paramilitary groups to create the couse the use of. police the use of lethal force by police i mean we saw the sniper as you know very well positioned it is stadium ready to kill people some of the pattern start we have seen and and that make a speech that this is so systematic and so intentional that it's becoming a policy to shoot to kill or more ribeiro despite the government agreement to allow an independent commission to investigate the violence of the past six weeks the political unrest sneak out arwa shows no sign of ending soon there have been about one hundred confirmed deaths since the start of the crisis and i'll drop a little. whenever. there's a new obstacle for millions of syrians who want to go home after fleeing

a seven year war more than six million people have been internally displaced by the fighting and over five and a half million syrians are refugees in other countries now many of them stand to lose their homes and new syrian law allows the government to seize property from people who can't prove ownership the move worries countries hosting the refugees sifi they may naturally if they know how to reports from the bekaa valley eleven and. emma is afraid that her stay in lebanon could become permanent she fled the war in syria in two thousand and thirteen her hometown a toby is now under government control she says the army hasn't allowed to billions to return yet and a new law passed by the syrian government is threatening to confiscate homes of those people who don't prove ownership not out of and i don't even know if we still have a house or if it was destroyed and when we fled we left with nothing so i don't have any documents with me there are millions of syrians like him ahmed who escaped from

the fighting with nothing number ten as it is known means they may be stuck in exile international aid agencies say just nine percent of refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them this is worrying host nations like lebanon where there are over one million we're going to tell you now back to the u.n. security council way the russian ambassador to the u.n. who is also the president he's taken off his presidential cap and he's putting his ambassador cap in this silly event who indeed voted in favor of the resolution brought by the q a it says who are pushing for a condemnation of israel's use of force a vote that was lost let's listen it goes without saying the international community must. to deal with the important questions reflected in the government in the documents including the humanitarian situation in gaza reestablishing palestinian unity and also the return of the sector to the government of the part

of the palestinians themselves. we mustn't we can efforts to support whose activities seriously ease the burden on palestinian refugees but all of these steps should be underpinned by decisions on the main political means to the objective achievement of a palestinian israeli settlement along the lines of the international international legal basis the settlement stipulates the implementation of a two state solution. pursuant to the security council resolutions the arab peace initiative and the decisions of the middle east peace quartet. once again we confirm that a solution through force and a rejection of direct dialogue is a non viable choice. this approach would only exacerbate mistrust and retard the prospect of relaunching the negotiation process we roundly condemn the indiscriminate attacks on the civilians which have led to many victims and also

the rocket launches into. israeli territory in civilian occupied places but for our part as a permanent member of the security council and as a participant in the quartet we hope for a quick relaunching of the negotiation process the absence of which is leads to this difficult situation for the palestinian israeli settlement russia has time and again proposed that it can make kids its this is a mediator available to host a summit between the leaders of palestine and israel to relaunch direct dialogue. this is our proposal and it remains on the table we are ready for honest and energetic work with all partners. who are interested in a quick end to the impasse in the situation. i now resume my function as president of the council the

council is ready to proceed to the votes on the draft resolution contained in document s. last twenty eight teens last five twenty submitted by the united states of america . if among the members of the council members who wish to take statement that make a stand before the vote then please do so but. that does not seem to be the case nothing above that i now put the vote. to the l. in the document as a slush twenty eight hundred plus five twenty submitted by the united states of america that document is now put to the vote. of. will those in favor of the draft resolution contained in document s. last twenty eight teams last five twenty please raise their hand.

those against. abstentions. but the result of the voting is as follows. one vote in favor of three votes against. eleven abstentions. the draft resolution has not been adopted into the negative vote of the own two having failed to obtain the required number of votes. and now give the floor to those members of the council who wish to make statements after the vote.

you've been watching the second resolution lucian to be voted on in the u.n. security council in the space of just half an hour or so this one brought by the u.s. very much the u.s. version of events as to what's been happening in palestine and israel and indeed yes that vote also failed let's go across to our diplomatic at that age and space who has been oversee watching the vote james we had speeches that notably from china and from russia on the way that they vote went with the q eight resolution now we've seen obviously the international community voting against the u.s. resolution but indeed not quite in as many numbers as voted for the resolution what does that tell us. well i do think it's very stark the voting here you had just one country that vetoed the kuwait resolution and then the other resolution that has a completely different focus very much focusing on criticizing hamas only had

one vote in favor i don't know when there was last a resolution put to the security council that only got one vote in favor of these diplomatic tactics by the u.s. by ambassador nikki haley's seemed to a backfilled it seems a very humiliating vote for the united states and i think again very starkly showing the divisions around the security council table on this issue the u.s. not able to muster the support from normal u.s. allies they are not coming to their support on this issue they believe that even though some of them did not support the kuwait resolution they abstained because they thought there wasn't enough language critics are criticizing hamas they certainly did not support the u.s. version of things i suspect they are nation behind obviously this kuwaiti

resolution kind of knew this was going to happen i think most people including a good south could call this was going to happen but where do they go now they've got this as you call it were a humiliation do they now go to the u.n. general assembly to push for another vote. that's a possibility that is something that is is certainly the main driver of the idea of a general assembly resolution remember you've also got the human rights council of the united nations which is already set up a commission of inquiry into the civilian deaths in garza that of course will find it very difficult to do its work because it's almost certain from past experience we know that israel will not cooperate with that commission of inquiry i think what you do see here and it's very very frustrating and sad for the palestinians and that for that matter of are israelis you see a complete deadlock the security council on this issue the security council

certainly is not going to be the place for any initiatives on israel and palestine any time soon so the only other thing we have in terms of the bigger picture is the promises from the white house that they have some sort of peace initiative but it's pretty clear the palestinians don't believe they're enormous broker and from the votes we've just seen nor it seems do many others on the security council indeed james and we've heard mahmoud abbas there in palestine basically saying that they won't accept any kind of peace proposal that the u.s. comes to the table with now either is there any momentum behind anything that's moving in that direction i know there was talk when indeed they announced went that the embassy was going to be made into jerusalem there's talk of going across to china and is or anybody else they can step into this huge vacuum now and move things along. well there certainly are other countries that have said that they

would like to have a role as you all know a few years ago france started in the mission tive president or longed doesn't seem like the new administration in paris seems so keen to take this on because i think if they were to try and take on an initiative they would pop possibly end up biting their heads against the trumpet ministration and i think there are enough tensions between europe and the u.s. right now particularly with the recent developments on trade the other country that you could look to and it was interesting when he was speaking earlier on to reporters is russia ambassador nick burns made it clear that he has very good relations with israel and there's also been some sort of deal done in southern syria it seems recently involving the russians agreeing to keep the iranian troops out of southern syria in return for letting assad retake parts

of southern syria don't deal done between russia and israel and yet russia in this vote was supporting the kuwait resolution and has good relations with the kuwaitis russia has certainly taken a much bigger role in the middle east in the last couple of years could get they get involved that's a possibility get a thought. back at it are there summing up really what's been happening in the un security council thank you. still to come on. more on the u.s. discovery that scientists are calling the how a grail of cancer research. hello and welcome back it may be hot and sunny in some parts of europe but in many areas we've also a threat of some really severe thunderstorms and the risk of storms will continue
