can't we can't walk together and make everybody happy with no depending on the consumption. this is the only news live from berlin a controversial move in the mideast with mementos consequences president trump is expected to officially recognize jerusalem one of the world's most contested cities as the capital of israel breaking with decades of u.s.

policy washington could move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem one palestinian diplomat has called it the kiss of death for the two state solution also coming up russian president vladimir putin says he will seek reelection in the countries of march elections he's been in power for think teen years were moscow to gauge how popular he is today. thank you very much for your company. u.s. president donald trump is widely expected to formally recognize jerusalem as israel's capital all that despite warnings that doing so could end the mideast peace process and fuel we journal unrest trump is scheduled to address the issue in an hour while palestinians in the gaza strip and the west bank have already begun protesting the move the issue has unified palestinian groups across the political

spectrum arab and muslim leaders in the region and many of washington's allies have also criticized the plans the trumpet ministration says it's only recognizing historical and co and current reality meanwhile israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcomed the decision let's listen to what he said earlier. use to our historic national identity is given important expression every day but today especially so i will have more to add on the jerusalem matter later today. well besides prime minister netanyahu few world leaders have come out in support of trans likely move let's see what some of america's allies had to say. there was little sign of u.s. allies backing trump's move british prime minister theresa may said the status of jerusalem was still a matter to be resolved in peace talks opposition has not changed we are position as he says has been a longstanding one and is also a very clear one that the status of jerusalem should be determined as

a negotiated in a negotiated settlement between the israelis and the palestinians and jerusalem should ultimately form to share form a shared capital between the israeli and palestinian states turkey's foreign minister was blunt. and you're going to be a good great mistake. to do nothing and this doesn't mean he's not going to go with you. but the u.s. secretary of state urged listeners to keep an open mind and to expect more than just an announcement about jerusalem in trump speech what i would encourage people to do is a couple things first listen carefully to the entirety of the speech listen to the for content of the speech the president is very committed to the middle east peace process he has a team that he put in place almost immediately upon hearing the white house that team has been working very diligently all new approaches to the peace process they've been engaged in

a quiet way with many in the region. there are signs trumps move on jerusalem was just part of a broader shakeup of the peace process days ago the egyptian paper el masri al human said he was eyeing a potential land swap between egypt israel and the palestinians but the new york times says egypt has rejected that plan. all right let's bring in our washing correspondent carsten fund naaman standing by carson why now what has prompted. it's difficult to say to be fair i believe that donald trump really thinks that jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of israel and the u.s. embassy should be moved there he said so in during his election campaign he promised to do this he then postponed a decision in summer after strong police from u.s. allies in the arab world and also from some of it some of his advisors but he seems

to have made this issue and to act and i think also this was prompted by concerns about the political landscape here in the u.s. because his approval ratings are quite low but his base his core supporters they stand by him and he needs that base to control the establishment of the republican party and he wants to please that base and part of that base is the very conservative pro israel lobby and their allies among christian evangelists in do yes so i think he's basically doing something that pleases that part of his base and even takes into account that might not please people as well so would you say that this is all in the can now is this a done deal can we expect the opening or relocation of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem in the immediate future. not immediately and this will take some time of course some people will say well basically there is

a consulate in jerusalem so you can just change the dos signs but what the trumpet ministration wants to do is build a proper new embassy that takes time up is the and then you have to move the stuff about a thousand people from tel aviv to jerusalem so this will take a few years might be even after four years so after this term of president trump but nonetheless the genie of course now is out of the bottle it used to be inconceivable to move the capital to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem so with him breaking with for decades u.s. policy how is he justifying this potential. well first of all the white house saying that this is just acknowledging the facts on the ground jerusalem is the fact of the capital of israel all major government agencies are there the parliament is there at least in the western part of

jerusalem so they're just acknowledging what is already there and also there is a law that is the law of the land for twenty two years now. jerusalem embassy act which was passed by congress in one thousand nine hundred five saying that she is the capital of israel and that the u.s. embassy should be there however that law of course gives president the ability to postpone this to sign a waiver for six months again and again and all presidents so far have done that citing national security interests donald trump also did so in summer but only grudgingly and it seems to me that he now wants to make good on his campaign promise him all right is he undermining the u.s. position as a theoretically fair broker by backing one side. i think so and this administration has always be seen to be closer to israel than to the

palestinians of course on the troubles also quite close to the leaders of saudi arabia the major power in the arab world and the troubling ministration seems to have tried to use the saudis to lean on the palestinians but the palestinians always for a bit. as a second rank to the trumpet ministration i don't think that this move will improve the feelings among the palestinians toward the american administration karsa phenomena reporting from washington thank you and we'll carry president trump statement live for you when it gets under way right here on the right but we want to move on to the other news where russian president vladimir putin says that he will run for reelection next year he made the announcement while visiting car factory workers in the city of new. opinion polls suggest putin would comfortably win the vote he's maintained popularity among russians despite economic hardships and rising tensions with the west put in is credited with prolonging stability in

the country affectively been in power since two thousand when he first became president all right let's take a listen now to that very moment when president vladimir putin announced his decision to run. by civil rights you're going. find a better place and moment to and i'm just this thank you for your support and advice you go as it might use my will be running as a candidate for the post of president of the russian federation. our moscow correspondent and leisure and joins us now for more on this amalie vladimir putin running again for president how much of a surprise was it. well this is not a surprise at all the only thing that people here in russia have actually been discussing in the media and amongst themselves is where and when vladimir putin

will announce that he will run it's already been taken as a given that he that he would run and it's interesting the occasion that he chose he was surrounded by workers in one of the provincial cities need not going to not in the capital he wants to show obviously that he's still close to the common man even after nearly two decades essentially in power and also today he was at another event with young volunteers young volunteers were being honored so he's obviously trying to show that that he is in touch with the younger generation as well and the timing is significant also the announcement comes just a day after the international olympic committee said that russian athletes would be barred from the olympics and that only clean athletes could compete under a neutral flag people here see that as a kind of western conspiracy and that's likely to rally people behind him even more because putin even more well and really

a lot of people are very very much in favor of president putin so is this election his for the taken. well people here certainly seem to think so people kind of take it as a fact in independent surveys as well as government surveys people say that if they were to go to the polls on sunday between sixty and seventy percent of people say they would vote for vladimir putin and all the other candidates on the list skull score in the single digits there isn't really another option on the stage on the political stage here in russia now there's an exchange of viney an opposition candidate who may be barred from the election due to a previous conviction and then there's a sub shop who herself has said that her candidacy is more of a a protest vote for people and then there are a bunch of veteran candidates who run several times and who are also like not

likely to get many votes so it's taken as a given not only that he would run but also that he most likely will win. and we sure are reporting from moscow thank you. want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world poland's ruling a law and justice party may replace prime minister bayada glow in a government reshuffle next week well that's after she tweeted what many interpreted as a farewell statement saying whatever happens poland is the most important thing while the move. securing the pardons future ahead of a string of elections starting next year a man has appeared in court in london on suspicion of plotting to kill british prime minister to resign may prosecutors say the islamised plot involves an attack on her official residence one other man was arrested in connection with the case. islamised attack tortured by british police this year.
