and express and still special forces always moving in trying to disperse the crowds that remain main peaceful in east jerusalem and maybe also the turnout up to notice it was not as big as expected it was also a bit less tense than expected so i talked to some people the old thing them what they think about how this situation he visited by them and this it to do they have really big speeding's about some said no it's up to the but it's good. to do something about to come up with the un system to spend some steps what they would next other people would say you have to go out student protests and some were saying we had to start as we tried everything if you know we have to think about something else something that is my neck to to to get the right seems to say ok stay with this president in time we want to look now at the international political consequences in a minute but first here are some reactions from around the world and they floss the palestinian israeli exchange at the united nations last night.

a small group of pro israeli demonstrators. and just across from the thousands turned out to support the palestinians scenes like these on friday in london could be found across many cities. in the greek capital athens u.s. flags were burned in protest against president trump's middle east policy. in tunisia and many countries across the muslim and arab world thousands call for freedom for palestine. and in washington the u.s. president could well have seen this prayer protest from the white house an emergency meeting at the u.n. security council the representatives of israel and the palestinians are at a distance. that you as this is to reward israelis

impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region i call on all countries all be thinking nations of the world to join with our american friends recognize the jewel the limbs connection to israel in a move your embassies to our capital but as here the u.s. is largely alone in its decision the european allies speak out against the us president's actions we disagree with the u.s. decision to recognize to resell them as the capital of israel and to begin preparations to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem it is not in line with security council resolutions and is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region we encourage the u.s. administration to not bring forward proposals for an israeli palestinian settlement

a settlement between the neighbors now seems further away than ever. to his tenure cramer is still with us in jerusalem ten of the u.s. looking increasingly isolated there at the united nations what about its honest broker role in this conflict yes i mean this is how it does seem here is that u.s. has booked very no u.n. security council resolutions and there's little in the way from it from an international consensus. the status of to use of the should be. decided to run to find stuff that's nicholas huge no way to get them they've. really been they used and both of us unspoken and i think this is the decision but it's to try to do this to use them to come to this was just confirm to them what they have always suspected that this is about the beginning to what's israel but of

course it will be interesting to see because this is always talk about that it's tough ones to find out the deal and that actually hasa team on the choices on the ground here they were here at the post a month to. you a piece. so it will be interesting to see if you know what could that that's going to be and if people will actually accepted whatever comes out of this no details are known yet and very angry about white person paul making this declaration and leaving it in votes and not coming up with this he spends talk about so much ok the arab league is meeting later today what can we expect from them. will be expecting you know to put out a statement but be about clinton they should be stood most of the out of companies came out on thursday already with pictures. condemning the steps so i think this

is what the hearing from our get muscles will be interesting now just. who it. is. thank you oh ok tell you i'm sorry the audio quality is just really poor we do appreciate you speaking to us today though from jerusalem tanya kramer there for us thanks very much. here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world huge wildfires raging through southern california have forced around two hundred thousand people to flee their homes multiple blazes have destroyed hundreds of businesses and much of the state's valuable cargo crop fire crews are stretched thin but unrelenting winds are raising the prospect of these fires lost and until christmas. police in kiev have again a less admit they are saakashvili he's the former georgian leader who's become an
