ministry there says at least twenty five people were injured israel says it bombed last targets in gaza and were telling nation for rocket fire that as the united nations security council met to almost well late condemned trumps move u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nevertheless insisted the u.s. is pushing for peace the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders the specific dimensions of sovereignty over jerusalem are still to be decided by the israelis and the palestinians in a negotiation israel will never be and should never be bullied into an agreement by the united nations or by any collection of countries that have proven their disregard for israel's security. is the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. riyad mansour had to say about president trump suspicion.

going to be unilaterally. or determined 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. for among those who called for this special session in new york what have they been say. it was quite remarkable to see the united states 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 we actually depend on the u.s. pretty much sure in many ways when it comes to their own national security and also all for 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 by this unilateral decision ok so the u.s. is looking isolated tiny you're on my ground there in jerusalem must been happening today. well i mean we saw this the occupied west bank. and you look 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 were mainly peaceful but a lot of security there. and talking we saw people. also some injured people but not just here. around and it didn't look so tense but it was an end. to how tense the situation are right now are there indications that we can expect scenes of violence. will mean the protests die down a bit that was one of low could that came. to its road was shot down by the army and then system and be expected to be as we are. talking gas and patients seem to have. but i mean people you would have been

hearing all day they've been meeting i mean it's between anger. and the disappointment but i've been hearing that that the situation has given something and 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. it's a limb but nevertheless they're out there that one is hurt because it is saying the u.s. president is also the most international at this is all 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 that hope that some day that will be some 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 of the trial but ministration. donald

trump remains 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. 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 had shown little consideration for the interests of israelis or palestinians so no sign of backing down there actually she even said this decision by the trumpet ministration could make sure that the peace process gathers new steam but you didn't quite say how this could work if the 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 vaughn naaman for us in washington and tanya kramer in jerusalem thanks to both of you. in congo at least fourteen u.n.

peacekeepers and five congolese soldiers have been killed in a suspected lisha attack on the u.n. compound it's not happened in the region of north keevil in the country's east it's the worst violence against the mission in the central african country in years u.n. secretary general antonio the terrorists called the attack a war crime and urged congolese thirty's to investigate swiftly. the european union and britain average an agreement on brocks it which means they can now progress to the next round of talks u.k. prime minister tourism and european commission president john younger said they'd agreed on key issues such as rights for citizens in the u.k. and guaranteeing no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland means they can now move on to negotiations about future trade relations. is in brussels forrest yeah we've heard this called a breakthrough is that. sorry when you take into account the kind of haggling we

have seen over the brits it bill when you take into account the deadlock that was going on for four weeks on end. on simple things like the citizen rights issue where both sides have overlapping interests then of course this is a step forward now if you look at island the key subject the key sticking point of the last couple of days of course the guarantee that there will be no hard border is absolutely crucial it's an essential part to move into the second phase but is it a solution certainly not we'll have to see a lot more talk on that subject until we can really talk of a breakthrough so there are still challenges ahead what can we expect exactly a very difficult talks to come the key issue for the european union is that they do not know what the u.k. wants they know they want to make it a success but how that is going to happen it's hard to tell and today the chief

negotiator michel bunnies said if he takes all the red lines he knows the u.k. has and if he takes all the models of relationships the e.u. has with other states for instance as norway switzerland or even south korea and he puts them together then he ends up with a free trade deal agreements like canada has one with the e.u. but that is something that theresa may rules out so it's a really difficult situation here as carrick matters for us in brussels thanks for your analysis. german essential democrats are meeting in berlin to consider what key issues they want to take in the talks with angela merkel on forming the country's next government party leader martin saul stressed the role of germany in the e.u. pledging to push for reforms that will eventually lead to a united states of europe essential democratic delegates voted on thursday for coalition talks with miracles conservatives. well start next week more than two months after germany's elections thomas spare us exclusively with mark insults and

i asked him if that wasn't a bit too hall. many countries in europe and indeed around the world are looking at germany and wondering when there will be a formal government and now the social democrats have agreed on a procedure that could take weeks if not months can't germany afford to be so long without a government there is first of all a government in office 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 chancellor so germany for the time being is a rule by a neck thing government and therefore the government has a parliamentarian majority we have no need to speed up especially looking to the fact that the so called john mica allies crashed completely with the negotiations. they took two months of the election after the vote. to disagree they

needed two months to disagree of the vote everything so. two or three weeks time to check if it makes sense to build to continue on the basis of a system of program incorporating i think that's justified and 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. the proposal table to yesterday by 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 security of 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 to in craver that open so a way for negotiations with an open end yes for sure between early elections and grand coalition and the american as 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 israelis since nineteen twenty five and to discuss how to improve especially of the brakes of the remaining twenty seven member states how they can improve the basis of the cooperation that's the lisburn treaty which is visibly not sufficient for solving a lot of problems we have internally and in international relations and that's what

i mean with the united states of europe that will not be a kind of united states of america or european soil we can transform a friendship in the california you know german and fix alien it's impossible national civil and if he is strong and will remain but to deepen the transnational corporations that's what i mean with the united states of europe thank you very much for this interview mr schultz you. are monitor for. top stories this hour as is really palestinian violence flares and sue people are killed the u.n. security council has been meeting for an emergency session to discuss u.s. president from suspicion to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. and the european union say they've made a breakthrough in talks prime minister to freeze and they made an unscheduled trip to brussels to meet e.u. commission president jiang called younker two sides will now move along to negotiating a trade agreement. will democrats in their leader march and schultz are preparing
