9:03 pm
the united nations or by any collection of countries that have proven their disregard for israel's security and here since palestinian ambassador to the u.n. riyad mansour hundreds say about president trump's decision the surface of jerusalem going to be unilaterally. or do but the and this decision by the u.s. should be. should be. loosened. often more on this i'm joined now by carson vaughn nominet washington who has been monitoring this emergency u.n. security council meeting for us and also by our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem thanks to both of you for joining us carson the closest allies of the u.s. were among those who called for the special session in new york what have they been say. it was quite remarkable to see the united states
9:04 pm
so isolated on the u.n. security council all fourteen other members of the council criticized the americans for their decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel and move the u.s. embassy there so not only countries that you might expect to be critical like russia china bolivia or egypt as the representative of the arab world but also close u.s. allies such as ukraine ethiopia or japan where actually depend on the u.s. pretty much or in many ways when it comes to their own national security and also all four european members of the u.n. security council those four countries the u.k. france sweden and it's a lead and join forces with germany later and those five countries together called on the u.s. to present details peace plan to at least defuse some tension that has been created
9:05 pm
by this new that's really decision ok the u.s. is looking isolated tiny you're on the ground there in jerusalem must been happening today. well i mean you saw the occupied west bank. and you put into it. also clashes of course between the protesters and the israeli army then and also in gaza one person was killed in protests there at the border fence and also into some you saw tests mainly in the old city and most assume rounding the old city they went in the peaceful but a lot of security there. and talking we saw people. also some injured people but not just here but also round and it didn't look so tense but listen. to how tense the situation are right now are there indications that we can expect scenes of violence. i mean the protests died down
9:06 pm
a bit that was one of low could that came. to it's rather was shot down by the army and then system and be expected to be as we are. talking gas and patients it seems. but even people that you would have been hearing all day they've been meeting i mean it's between anger exhausted and the disappointment but i've been hearing them that the situation is getting something in wait this doesn't belong to them and that's why i think we ought to just maybe not in such thoughts my numbers as expected though this tends as expected maybe. the solution but nevertheless they're out there that one hurt because it is saying the u.s. president yes it was so much international know that this is ok but terry to you and that they want to see one day that this is the companies of the state but then it's the wave that will suit you know the hope that some day that will be some
9:07 pm
kinds. so a lot of anger you're describing in jerusalem carson listening to that is there any indication that the u.s. is going to back down here. not at all. nikki haley repeated the line of argument off the trump ministration that donald trump remained committed to the peace process and that basically the u.s. was just admitting the reality of the facts on the ground she didn't even went on the attack and said the u.n. had sometimes done more harm than good to the peace process by treating israel unfairly and she also said the u.s. would not be lectured by those who have shown little consideration for the interests of israelis or palestinians so no sign of backing down that actually she even said this decision by the trumpet ministration could make sure that the peace process gathers new steam but she didn't quite say how this could work if the
9:08 pm
palestinians have the feeling that america now is firmly in israel's camp and no longer a neutral mediator it's a tricky situation as carson the nominee for us in washington antenna kramer interest on thanks to both of you. president trumps official recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital has sparked fury and frustration throughout the middle east people in syria jordan and are wrong took to the streets to express their opposition. to a familiar ritual burning the israeli and american flags this scene took place in a palestinian refugee camp in syria. across the border in or around a prayer leader urged palestinians to rise up and hundreds of iranians took to the streets. of both countries have a history of enmity with the u.s. and israel. but in egypt long seen as a u.s.
9:09 pm
and israeli ally there were mass protests as well these demonstrators are chanting jerusalem is arab. the alamo a set that i'm woman with trumps needs to know that palestine is in the hearts of all the arabs muslims and every free person in this world and in some sort of you has either. but the outrage spread beyond israel's neighboring countries from the streets of the somali capital mogadishu to the mountains of kashmir. was a lot of. love and in pakistan trumps decision seem to trigger a general backlash. that trump is a madman the american people must take a stand and make it clear that they do not stand with trump otherwise we are left with no choice but to consider the american people to be anti islam. i proof that the israel palestine issue has not faded in the minds of muslims
9:10 pm
worldwide i. now have some of the other stories that are making news around the world in congo at least fourteen un peacekeepers and five congolese soldiers have been killed. a suspected delicious attack on a u.n. compound in the east of the country at least fifty others wounded u.n. secretary general antonio ted has called the attack or crime and congolese authorities to investigate swiftly. officials say massive wildfires tearing through southern california have destroyed hundreds of homes the blaze as of now forced tens of thousands of people to flee for safety major state highways been closed as hot desert winds fanning the flames poland's conservatives have named more of the esky as the country's new prime minister former finance minister replaces should low in the post critics say the
9:11 pm
leadership shake up is meant to distract attention from a vote on friday a laws that would give the ruling party significant power over poland's judicial system. of the european union and britain have reached an agreement on that which means they can now progress to the next round of talks for this prime minister trees a may and european commission president said they'd agreed on key issues like rights for citizens in the u.k. and guaranteeing they'll be no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and now means they can move on to negotiations. future trade relations. let's get more on this now from our correspondent in brussels good york not just your welcome is this really a breakthrough here or just business as usual. breakthrough through it's probably a it's a big word of course the guarantee that there will be no hard border is quite crucial
9:12 pm
and it means not just in ireland but also for many people in northern ireland a great deal but it's no real solution so in some sense to reason may has kicked down the can just down the road postponed the problem and so we'll have to see how that conflict can be resolved at least that is a step forward seeing that the kind of deadlock we have seen the difficult situation to recently comes from so i'd say it's a it's a step forward it's a step forward earlier we spoke to the european parliament's chief breck's representative guy for hof stuff and we asked him after the struggle to get to this point what's the prognosis for the next phase it will not be easy this. does negotiations but we have been parliament have a clear view on this let's make a mess of sation agreement let's cover not only trade. but also other cup aeration it's like operational internal security foreign policy external security but it's
9:13 pm
clear that it will be not be easy because some people in great britain still respect that they can have. a status outside the european union there's more favorable than to be member of the european union and that is not possible. so far off so it's basically saying britain can't have its cake and eat it too what can we expect from this next phase of talks. expect more of the same what we've seen in the past couple couple of months sluggish progress i'm afraid because still the u.k. is in a position where it doesn't know what it wants at least that is what the e.u. negotiators have perceived and in the a number of diplomats have told me you know in order to move these trade talks i had they said the prime thing they will need is a clear picture of what the u.k. wants not what they do not want the list of red lines the e.u. has what the u.k. doesn't want is long and they have it on the table but they'd like to hear
9:14 pm
a constructive ideas how that straight relationship for a new deal could be structured sounds like man you're going to be spending a lot more friday nights talking about the red lines and red tape with thanks for being with us from brussels tonight. you're watching data come on our program martin self the leader of germany's social democrats is set to start talks with angela merkel's conservatives on forming a new coalition government d.w. has an exclusive interview with the man who may have the key to unlocking germany's political stalemate. and over the javier now for a little bit more about what's behind bit coins meteoric rise and perhaps fall yeah definitely sarah you know bitcoin has been keeping us busy all this week actually the cryptocurrency had surged by more than forty percent over the past couple days as officials in the u.s. prepare to launch the first bitcoin futures contracts this sunday that has fueled
9:15 pm
investor interest but on friday it lost almost a fifth of its value. this sunday its kickoff for bitcoin future trades potentially propelling the cryptocurrency from the fringes to the forefront of finance traders are busy coming up with a game plans the futures market allows them to speculate on the cryptocurrency price at a later date something which may stabilize the cryptocurrency but also push the price down from the dizzying heights of where it has been i think we argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if you're investing though for the next two years or three years then if the difference between the price now and the price in a week's time may be irrelevant some say that bitcoin might not even be around in the next two to three years there is notoriously volatile with warnings that it may self-destruct and it's not backed all the same its impact is already thought to be
9:16 pm
lasting whatever you might think about cryptocurrency is the reality is that the technology behind it which is the block chain is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had early two thousand. while everybody was getting rich just having you know a dot com on the web side but even after the bubble burst the internet is still there we have facebook google so the technology behind it is here to stay whether becoming a futures might prove the downfall or making of the digital darling is something really only the future can tell. u.s. jobs growth search higher than expected last month and average hourly earnings rose only slightly the fairly upbeat report underscores the economy's strength it also has analysts questioning why with publicans needs to slash corporate income tax to stimulate the world's largest economy it's already approaching full employment
9:17 pm
companies are now reporting difficulties finding qualified workers the white house hails the news crediting the president's bold economic vision. and europe's competition commission could have bad news for bear the chemicals giant wants to take over american rival monsanto for a massive sixty six billion dollars it would be the biggest takeover of a foreign company by a german firm but sources say the commission has concerns the merger may harm competition for pesticides and seeds many europeans criticize the deal worried about genetically manipulated seeds and one company having so much control over food production. germany has an arguer it a high spill rate high speed rather rail link between berlin and munich it saves a third of the travel time making flying seemed so tedious at a time when many domestic flights are becoming more expensive the rail group is on course to make the profitable route even more of

a money spinner. the time has finally come after twenty seven years of planning and construction the new berlin munich route is ready for action german chancellor angela merkel was on board she left her autograph on the hull of the sprinter before she began the superspeed experience. her fellow passengers were excited by the ride. your travel to very comfortable and we have been very excited. and full of it and we took a picture it was fourteen minutes past to two o'clock and to be reached three hundred and fun kilometers yeah good you look out the window and you think oh you go one hundred one hundred fifty and then you look on the screen and it's three hundred kilometers per hour and so that's the most. that the impress me yes they did didn't feel good to speak it's a day full of symbolism the road connects the former east with the west it was one

of the first projects born of german reunification. hopes the ten billion euro price tag for europe's most expense. a real project will pay for itself by giving planes and buses a run for their money. and work are looking quite happy there but it's time for her to get on a different trade to night that's right she's got a busy schedule this one germany social democrats are meeting in berlin to consider what key issues they want to take into talks as miracle on forming the country's next government now party leader martin shell stressed the role of germany in the e.u. pledging to push for reforms that would eventually lead to a noted states of europe as it puts it as p.t. delegates voted on thursday for coalition talks with merkel's conservatives will start next week more than two months after germany's elections own thomas sparrow spoke exclusively with martin schultze and asked him if that wasn't
9:20 pm
a bit too long many countries in europe and indeed around the world are looking at germany and wondering when they will be a formal government and now the social democrats have agreed on a procedure that could take weeks if not months kunt germany afford to be so long without a government there is first of all a government in office religious by the way. composed by the christian democrats in the search of democrats that are going to america's chance to see my god where this first turns so germany for the time being is a rule by a next thing government. therefore the government has a parliamentarian majority we have no. need to speed up especially looking into the fact that the so called john mica elias crashed completely with the negotiations. they took two months after the election after the vote. to disagree they
9:21 pm
needed two months to disagree and the vote everything so. two or three weeks time to check if it makes sense to build them to continue on the basis of a sustainable program and go parade thing i think that's justified and to where justified for us. one of your key proposals is that idea of a united states of europe but wouldn't it be also important to focus on that united s.p.d. given the fact that so many delegates here seem to be against that idea of another grand coalition i think. proposal table to yesterday but the bureau of the party unanimously adopted in the bureau of the party for the opening of negotiations first of all about content to improving the internal situation the best execution in germany improving the situation of the european union and got an overwhelming majority of the around i think ninety percent of the delegates voted in craver that
9:22 pm
open so a way for negotiations with an open then yes for sure between early elections and grand coalition at the end every thing is possible but it depends from how we are able to agree on contemned that's the most important point for us and how confident are you mr shows that the conservatives will actually also be interested in that idea of yours of a united states of europe. i think this is a proposal of the is pretty since nineteen twenty five. to discuss how to improve especially of the breaks the remaining twenty seven member states how they can improve the basis of that cooperation that's the list treaty which is obviously really not sufficient for solving a lot of problems we have internally and in international relations that's what i mean with the united states of europe that will not be kind of united states of america or european soil become transform of friendship in the california law
9:23 pm
german and six alien it's impossible national civil or any if he is strong and we remain but to deepen the transnational corporation that's what i mean with the united states of europe thank you very much for this interview mr schultz. there is a very special match up in the bundesliga this weekend the poet darby when i'm struck frankfurt hosts i really have brothers kevin prince and sharon bialek saying well we're going head to head for the first time in almost three years. kevin prince i'm tracked frankfurt midfielder. jerome defender at byron munich the bullet ngs are two brothers as different as they are like kevin prince is a bit of an extrovert he's never afraid to put on a show somewhere worried his big personality would unsettle the frankfurt squad but quite the opposite has happened his leadership and self-confidence fit right
9:24 pm
alongside that of his coach not for november's which we're going to get our chances up front we've seen byron give up a few of them and if we can get a goal and go in front will make it very difficult to play against us and this is really. the other bulleting brother drome is more low key he seems happiest playing at an even keel. button's club magazine thinks it's full speed ahead pronouncing things wunderbar not everyone agrees it's been nothing for the mind i still think we haven't reached our full potential. and we've got to get the guys back from long term injuries and get them back to one hundred percent their optimum. and when that happens we can be satisfied but not until then. it's of liens on them to been used to sneak one though it's saying might find satisfaction each has one winner to draw against the other. all the winter olympic games are approaching and among the
