12:00 am
this is. our i'm sorry this is the news out live from london coming up the united states vetoes a u.n. security council resolution calling for the protection of palestinians in gaza and the west bank. you put the process will begin on june twelfth ensuring that. the u.s. president spends nearly two hours with kim young and illness right on man as he makes
12:01 am
a historic visit to the white house. and reports the saudi arabia is threatening military action against cattle if it's acquires russian weapons. or changes by mariano rajoy is forced out of office by socialist leader sanchez who replaces him as prime minister. and i'm tatiana sanchez in doha with all of the day's news as novak djokovic loses his poor french open but recovers to win in the bad round more on the story later in the park from. the u. a u.s. house vetoed a u.n. security council resolution calling for the protection of palestinians in gaza on the west bank the resolution was put forward by kuwait's and called for the consideration of measures to guarantee palestinian safety it comes after
12:02 am
a recent flare up of violence along the gaza israel border which is left more than one hundred palestinians dead and thousands injured the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. told the council the resolution took a grossly one sided view that fell to blame hamas for the recent violence. 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 will do so but. the images of them we deplore that the council failed to adopt the draft resolution which stipulates that protection should be provided to the palestinians the last days prove that they are
12:03 am
in dire and tragic need and need our counsel to provide protection in the face of the massacres against them by israel. our diplomatic editor joins me now from the united nations in new york james quite extraordinary rarely that they only vote vetoed the first resolution by q.h. was the u.s. and then the u.s. brings its own version of the resolution and the only vote for that resolution was the u.s. . i think the u.s. tactics here seem to have backfired very badly and bastard and nikki haley came to the security council chamber trying to find ways to thwart the kuwaiti resolution which seeks to find ways to protect civilians palestinian civilians particularly in garza she tried a number of different things she was certainly trying to persuade security council members to try and get their votes she was going around the chamber looking for votes encouraging people to vote her way she also got hold of
12:04 am
the hand books for procedure and some of her diplomats found some very old arcane rules she tried to use some of those procedural rules to help swing it her way by getting her amendments version voted on first that failed after a big gaggle of diplomats discussed it and they had a meeting away from the cameras and in the end and i think part of the factor what was was the tactics and the way she was doing this that infuriated some of the other diplomats she got the humiliating situation where she put forward a security council resolution and it only got one vote in favor her own vote and she when she stopped the other resolution equating resolution as you say it was only her vote the u.s. vote that stopped that becoming
12:05 am
a security council resolution because it had ten votes in favor you only need not nine votes in favor so i don't think a very good day for the u.s. mission to the united nations or for ambassador halley and a bad day i think for the security council because it's divisions i think very starkly exposed and and this is the real tragic thing a very very bad day for palestinians and israelis who want peace because no progress whatsoever. indeed you do wonder what that everybody knew that was sitting around that table that in the end the u.s. would veto this resolution so possibly that's what the q.h. resolution was all about it to pick up some strong very strong members speaking in its favor that china and russia both lining up behind. the they are a bloc if you like yes certainly they were supporting it there were other security council members who were sitting on the fence on both
12:06 am
resolutions including some of those western nations that normally would be siding perhaps on many issues with the u.s. you cannot really when you see a meeting like that see any way forward in the security council right now for any progress on this file whatsoever and i think that is the groom thing because you've heard these special coordinator of the u.s. nickel i'm loud and off say that he fears that garza is on the verge of another war and yet the security council is interactive because it is completely divided on this issue and i don't see any other initiatives out there the only one really that is doing that any country that's doing anything is the u.s. which keeps saying it's coming up with a new major peace initiative but clearly not the palestinians not even some of the u.s. his allies now see the u.s.
12:07 am
as an honest broker in this is there any point of them going to the u.n. general assembly i know this has been the situation before when the embassy was being moved to jerusalem that got so many nations upset but would that be a realistic move that axed. it's certainly something that's being considered and turkey is the country that is leading on this and yes we know roughly depends on of course on the resolution what will happen in the general assembly because the general assembly in terms of its overall vote so of all of the one hundred ninety three members is much more likely to support the palestinians resolutions that normally go in the direction of the palestinians but the general assembly resolution is not like a security council one general assembly resolutions are not binding in the same way a security council resolution which is the salusa thing that we come to agreement on this issue on is of course international law anything as
12:08 am
a diplomat has had that j.f.k. speaking to us from the united nations. and they palestinian paramedic has been killed by israeli forces during protests along the gaza border twenty one year old volunteer paramedic john had been volunteering at the border since march when weekly friday demonstrations began several more palestinians have also been injured these latest scenes follow a week that saw the west's escalation of violence between israel and palestinian factions in gaza since twenty eight fourteen. now the u.s. president donald trump says he'll made to north korea's leader kim jong un on june twelfth in singapore he made the statement after hosting chems top aide at the white house kim yong cho handed deliver the letter to trunk from kim jong un and stayed in the oval office with the president foremost chair hours the former spy chief is the most senior north korean to hold talks at the white house since
12:09 am
a senior voyage met former president bill clinton and the a two thousand. we're meeting with the chairman on june twelfth and i think it's probably going to be a very successful ultimately a successful persons will see 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 really deserved they want it. we think it's important and i think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have i think we're going to have a relationship and it was short and you work on our correspondent like henry is live for us and washington d.c. it was all smiles on the lawn mike and but there wasn't the immediacy of this sort of deal about to be down a denuclearization that maybe we thought was going to happen with so much hyperbole coming from the u.s. president he seemed to reign back a bit on thinking that this was a done deal well president trump making very clear that this is unlikely to
12:10 am
be any signing of anything off to his summit meeting on june the twelfth making very clear his belief that this is a process one of the scenarios that will happen is that the two will meet they will hold discussions they will then go away hand over the matter to negotiate is who will conduct a series of negotiations on the u.s. would hope at disarmament but what president trump certainly will be looking for at that summit is a commitment to disarmament not necessarily an immediate ability to carry it out but definitely what he's going to be asking for is that commitment he said that they discussed sanctions and then almost felt like a veiled threat when he said look we have a hundred or hundreds of sanctions still on the table where we've put them to one side but if the talks falter they could be brought in on again which is an interesting atmosphere to go into the summit on. indeed yes sees keeping
12:11 am
a sword put he's dover the process of negotiation but as is the north korean leader he will not make any commitment unless you get some kind of reciprocal blowback from the united states either in the form of relaxation or abolishment of sanctions as well as what he's going to be looking for are very serious security guarantees that would guarantee north korean security should it give up its nuclear development program but the phrase or the initials we'll always have to make up an acronym for these that we're going to be hearing in the next few weeks and indeed months is the c v i d now what c.b.i. means is complete verifiable irreversible disarmament that is what the us is demanding that is its bottom line it is not likely to accept anything else in that suit well i've learned something there mike other things very much for giving is the latest from washington d.c. now a french newspaper is reporting that saudi arabia is threatening military action against
12:12 am
cattle if it acquires russian weapons and the own newspaper says the saudi crown prince has written to the french president to warn that if he's ready to retaliate if cats are acquires the s four hundred anti aircraft defense system the paper says the crown prince asked emmanuel luck home to put pressure on cattle not survive the weapons. system moscow says in january as his country intended to acquire the missile system saudi arabia along with the u.a.e. and behind cut off relations with qatar last june where defense analyst pavel felgenhauer assess threats from saudi arabia are likely to be a bluff. consarn has been quite often then mako and the russian black to have a good friend in the go and their course money and. has been investing in the fund in russia and this is fun to buy weapons back again
12:13 am
good for russia. money coming in. at the same time russia was and has been for some years trying to build up some. kind of trade relationship with saudi arabia but that has not really worked out. there has been a lot of talk but there has been no real deal that's happening on paper the south that may be covered by a large pots of saudi arabia so they can say that that's a threat but when they appear there i mean that because they have that would be in place a number. most likely saudi arabia is more bluffing right now or at least trying to deter. deal happening before it has been. coming up on al-jazeera this news hour they see here with brazil state

12:20 am
a standing of the thing he wouldn't say against europe but in face of europe and this is what is worrying somehow international observers. the new cabinet should easily pass a vote of confidence expected early next week but the real test will be whether this highly unusual coalition can hold together and push for reforms that many voters expect and many e.u. leaders fear. al-jazeera. the same presell state controlled all protests a patch of grass has resigned after the government interfering in diesel prices president michel announced plans to bring fuel prices down after a truck driver strike crippled the country and nine day protests course shortages a few gas stations and airports and left some supermarket shelves empty and has no . the resignation of chief executive. was just one of the demands of striking all workers. they said they didn't like the way he was running petal brass and they

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 exports are to the u.s. 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

12:31 am
a nearby cathedral when up at at first we were inside the cathedral then we went outside and saw how the shootings took place in cold blood right in front of the cathedral. in this but us 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. with we're going through oppression despite staying at the cathedral because these people don't respect anyone that respects priest 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
12:32 am
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 in that. humanitarian organizations have condemned the government crackdown on dissenters. of amnesty international says the evidence of human rights abuse by the government is clear they use of these paramilitary groups to create the cost of the use of. police the use of lethal force by police i mean we saw this sniper us 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 he's becoming a police to shoot to kill or. spike the government agreeing 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 suit there have been about one hundred
12:33 am
confirmed deaths since the start of the crisis and was up a little. more from our on this we're going to go to do with nicaragua we're going to go to genesis eric and i was here and he joins me now on skype from mexico city thanks very much for coming on to al-jazeera it seems fairly clear that there is a shoot to kill policy going on how clear is it though that it is directly or the by the president. i mean. the president is in charge of the police and so he knows what's been going on and the necker are when police don't have. a history. of this kind of abuse or error is that it just started when the protests began so there's no way that he doesn't know want to also confusing the picture and as
12:34 am
a correspondent well what was alluding to his report and indeed on this international have made very clear they say the government is also colluding with paramilitary groups to suppress the demonstrations that's taking things even a stage further than that there is own police doing the violence. yeah absolutely and the government you know they keep putting out statements saying that they deny collusion but amnesty international clearly laid this out and it's just. apparent from social media posts from the attacks themselves and it's giving the government sort of a cover of deniability but. yeah multiple civil society organizations in nicaragua have laid out on the streets of managua and then amnesty international have all said there are these paramilitary groups that they're called . colluding with police forces you know sheeting live ammunition
12:35 am
physically attacking protesters i believe the conflict church was trying to be in the middle of the protests is on the government trying to be the peace kind of promote but they've stepped away because of the aggression what situation are we in now with when anybody trying to pull the two together. yeah i mean the catholic church that was once loyal. and was sort of a key ally doubts. stepped away and is sort of along the lines with the student saying that there can't be a dialogue as long as the government continues to repress protest and murder its own people. and that's sort of the line in the sand that they have jobs and that you know you have the students calling for new elections and then this week it was a pretty big deal that the business community which like the catholic church had once been a really key ally for it now is also calling for new elections and all not if the want to be an early election is what do you think the chances of
12:36 am
a. surviving. she i mean there needs to be electoral reform just earlier the head of the electoral commission stepped down and there is an apparent agreement with the organization of american states to go through electoral reform but it seems you know from the streets that the situation has gone way beyond that and it's clear that tiger has loss support from the people you know as you can see by the hundreds of thousands of people in the streets and so there need to be. a big reform of the entire nicaraguan electoral apparatus very good to get your thoughts on this can i say thanks very much for joining us. people in argentina have taken to the streets to protest against the government's economic policies and demanding jobs and cuts in food prices it comes of the government looks to the international monetary fund to

those of us who are heading out of university that and crime we don't have security almost anywhere pollsters say that ties in with what many young voters want more a better paid jobs lower murder rates and less corruption of the candidates should be listening the young vote is all important this election almost forty five percent of the electorate is under thirty five they could swing it for the winner. they're overwhelmingly urban online a more educated than their parents are also more likely to vote left good news for front runner money well and that as lopez obrador that is if they turn out to talk well why the young vote tends not to a mexico is notoriously corrupt political class could turn them off entirely but there is hope that this time around they willing gauge. that's based in part on young people participating or mass in protest movements and the rescue efforts
12:41 am
after last year's earthquake. movement we keep politica is trying to use that energy to transform the political scene supporting fresh faced independent candidates like twenty seven year old robert dole christie you know it must i must because. we've demonstrated that we're not an apathetic generation and for years we haven't been heard we want to as we say in our slogan or place a political class that doesn't represent us that won't happen at the presidential level this selections the leading candidates of political veterans but the young should still play a vital role in who gets in and how the country moves forward john homan. mexico city. scientists in the u.s. say they've potentially found the holy grail of cancer research research at the cleveland clinic in ohio say they've developed a blood test that's able to detect certain types of cancer several years before a person falls ill a trial of around sixteen hundred people found
12:42 am
a non invasive procedure identify d.n.a. markers with up to ninety percent accuracy the test was used to detect genetic traces of multiple counts including pancreatic and the various diseases is hoped the breakthrough will help to dramatically transform cancer treatment and save many lines well dr len felt deputy chief medical officer for the american cancer society says this breakthrough could revolutionize the detection of cancers that are harder to diagnose. as a cancer grows parts of its genetic make up part of its internal makeup so to speak gets broken off and circulates in the blood so the purpose of this technology is to try to find those fragments of what we call d.n.a. genetic material in the blood see if there's a we can pick up a signal that a cancer is present it's a rapidly evolving technology something that's relatively new but we're learning much more about it very quickly and in this particular report what they have done
12:43 am
