and ya is in paris on his first trip to europe since donald trump recognized israel's capital m. across and has condemned the firing of rockets against israel amid a wave of violence sparked by the us president's controversial decision and yahoo had earlier accused european leaders of hypocrisy for criticizing trump's move but not the attack against israel netanyahu repeated his claim that jerusalem is israel's capital. is the couple of israel it's been the capital of israel for three thousand years you can read to them a very fine book it's called the bible you can read it after the bible you can hear it in the history of jewish communities throughout. the next year in jerusalem extreme jerusalem where this is the capital of israel but in jerusalem. our correspondent on a kramer joins us now from jerusalem to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu
8:03 pm
also said the sooner the palestinians except that jerusalem is israel's capital the sooner there would be peace how does tend to make that work. well i mean we heard again quite uncompromising stands by mr netanyahu also echoing the words that also mr trump used last week and that is an absolute nonstarter for the palestinians they're saying where's our reality we are also here in the city of jerusalem and we want to see east jerusalem as the capital of our future independent palestinian state so we heard those two men talking again about the recognition of the capital of state of israel by mr trump and mr mccraw was very clear when he said that france is opposing this recognition and he also urged mr netanyahu to basically make some gestures towards to. put
8:04 pm
some force on settlement freeze so he made it very clear that france is very much opposed to this so all eyes were on this meeting because this was also the first foreign trip by mr netanyahu after the recognition pledged by mr trump. and it's netanyahu his first trip to europe since trump's controversial decision now what do you think his mission on this trip is. well i mean you have to know this to pose a originally planned long before this diplomatic crisis over the twosome issue and you understand that mr netanyahu wants to talk more about iran and also what is much of his concern he wants to talk about the again in presence in syria now of course it will focus more on the twosome issue and i think if you're particularly interesting when he's meeting with foreign ministers on monday and proselyte he will meet also the e.u. foreign policy chief greeny they will have
8:05 pm
a working breakfast because he said before he left for europe he somehow scolded the european leaders saying that they are criticizing this historic recognition but then do not criticize when rockets are fired. from gaza so it will be interesting to see how the e.u. leaders respond to that and also what they will say to this process that is unfolding now. that was our correspondents tanya kramer joining us there from jerusalem thank you. well trump's announcement on jerusalem has been followed by days of protests and deadly clashes in the palestinian territories in israel tens of thousands have also protested and muslim arab countries including jordan turkey pakistan and malaysia several demonstrations focus their anger on the u.s. embassies and things turned violence in the capital beirut where security forces

8:07 pm
and at them their price. it was an emotional moment for the activists the nobel committee has recognized the decade long campaign to secure a ban on nuclear weapons over one hundred countries have signed a treaty to that effect but the world's nuclear powers including the united states haven't yet and neither has north korea a moment of panic or carelessness a misconstrued comment or a bruised ego could easily lead us to the destruction of entire cities the story of nuclear weapons will have an ending and it is up to us to decide what that end we will be. will it be the end of nuclear weapons. or will it be the end of us. the ceremony was attended by survivors of the

day marking the anniversary of the adoption of the universal declaration of human rights it's also the three hundredth day that the turkish german journalist and a few chel has spent in a turkish prison and hundreds of artists have called for his release popstars bondo and staying in several nobel prize winning author is are among those who have signed a letter calling to free dan if he is accused of terrorist propaganda that the german government says the child has been detained on political grounds and he isn't the only one hundreds of human rights workers are behind bars in turkey human rights activists paid to start now has recently returned from istanbul after being detained there for months. and also parts in his barn and home. now on his way to germany to reunite with his family after spending nearly four months in a turkish prison and a week since his return he's been trying to readjust its continuities in doing my
8:10 pm
realization exercises which i did before going into prison during prison i'm doing it still it's a lot of talking with friends with colleagues it's also just getting back into normal rhythms like taking care of the children etc the human rights activist was teaching a seminar and he stumbled when he was unexpectedly detained by turkish authorities during his time in prison he learned to come to terms with the rules solitary confinement is maybe the strictest one had for several days but also there are. i was treated mainly was respect for the work guards i had great great inmates in the way. who were passing through similar situations like i did and for me it was very important to feel the solidarity from the outside as well from the fellow prisoners activists and germany and turkey demanded his release now despite not being back in germany the trial against him in turkey is continuing in his
8:11 pm
absence he's charged with having supported an armed terrorist organization many of us are still imprisoned in turkey looking into the. judicial system and the judicial procedures see that for a lot of the political detainees that the situation is rather unfair there are the trials of there are sometimes not even until now there's a lot of solidarity from my site towards them and i hope that i can say the same that i would love to say the same that as you just said a few days before my release like you're going to be out now soon. i recently received a peace prize for his work as a human rights activist. of a more on this we're joined by marcus baik oh he's the secretary general of amnesty international here in germany mr baker thank you very much for joining us now. is just one of the human rights activist that was facing charges related to terrorism and he has walked free and there was
8:12 pm
a big sigh of relief here in germany when that happened but he's the only one i mean what about the others and why ten of those who might defendants who were detained together with him walk free now the chair of amnesty international is still in detention and detaining a representative of an internationally independent organization is not only an attack on him but is an attack on human rights agenda. also still behind bars this human rights day is dennis. what condition is he in right now do you know anything about him i mean i believe being in the tension and partly in solitary confinement for tree hundred days just for being a journalist in this just doing the job is a condition in itself and that is you and all of the other journalists should have been freed by the turkish authorities since long and it's important that the
8:13 pm
international community keep the pressure regardless which nationality actually these journalists have and. the likelihood that he will be freed anytime in the forseeable future i think we all have to keep pushing the turkish government all levels and govern the us as individuals but also be it governments especially within the international for us for how do you actually managed big dam recently i haven't spoken to that is himself but we are in touch with will leave some of the human rights defenders and journalists were detained that of course we speak to their lawyers. and it just remains a task for all of us to really show the turkish government that we stand with them . now let's talk about the broader picture on human rights day many activists would say that turkey is very much an example of a democracy turning into a dictatorship does that hurt human rights around the world in general is this
8:14 pm
a trend that we need to be aware of globally and the international sees two key trends one is that governments and political groups trying to declare entire groups as less human than human beings in general and trying. to take rights from them that's one thing and the other thing is that human rights defenders those who stand up peacefully for their rights but also for the rights of others a being increasingly targeted so last year we saw over two hundred eighty human rights defenders being killed on purpose we've. seen threats for human rights defenders in nearly one hundred countries and in over sixty countries human rights defenders have been detained or has bake oh thank you very much for joining us here in studio city. splice
