minister benjamin netanyahu also said the sooner the palestinians accepted that jerusalem was israel's capital the sooner there would be peace how does netanyahu intend to make that work. well that is really a good question because that is really a nonstarter for the palestinians they're saying well we are also a reality yeah and they want of course to see through. for they to be the capital of their future state so it was quite about an uncompromising stance here echoing also the words of the u.s. president who had recognized jerusalem asked a capital of israel last week so also a rather straightforward statement by the french president in this press conference he was basically reiterating again that france is opposing this recognition and he also the israeli prime minister to make some gestures towards the palestinians for

exam is talking about a possible settlement freeze so you also had very clear verts to mr netanyahu on this issue. how it is netanyahu is the first trip to europe stands trial the controversial decision what do you think his mission is on this trip. well we understand that this trip was long planned ahead before this diplomatic crisis is over the two slim issue and we understand that mr netanyahu wants to talk foremost about iran and also about the situation in syria about the and the brain in presence in the region there so this is what concerns him most but of course most of the focus now will be on the two slim issue in view particularly interesting when he's meeting foreign ministers and brussels on monday you will have a working breakfast with them especially because after you criticize them for basically

not acknowledging this historic recognition and saying. calling them hypocrites because they would not talking about markets coming from gaza so i think this would be quite interesting what that you. have to say about that and also how they see their role yet now in the process here. tell us ten year kramer for us there in jerusalem thank you for the last. following terms then and spent on jerusalem thousands have protested in muslim and arab countries including jordan turkey pakistan and malaysia several demonstrations focus there on u.s. embassies things turned violent in the lebanese capital beirut where security forces fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters meanwhile tens of thousands of moroccans demonstrators in the capital abbas. the winners of this year's nobel

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 really be the end of us. the ceremony was attended by survivors of the hiroshima bombing said school thurlow was a teenager then she lost friends and family on august the sixth one nine hundred forty five today she dedicated the nobel prize to them and to hundreds of thousands of others who died that day. each person had been

up to two hundred journalists and media workers who have been detained by the turkish authorities and who face observed allegations in the cases and who also see that their rights are often not well recognized doing the process and jurisdiction of executions they're going on and now let's talk about the broader picture and it's of course even might stay activists say turkey is a prominent example of a democracy turning into a dictatorship what does that mean for human rights around the world is a trend that we need to be watching out for and this international currently observes two key trends one is that governments and political groups try to do human eyes entire groups declaring them far less human and staff all.

to really not acknowledge that they of course have all human rights and the second trend is that human rights defenders doles people who stand up peacefully for human rights are being targeted increasingly so we've seen over two hundred eighty human rights defenders being killed. and it's increasing trend and the world community is challenge to really stand by these peaceful human rights defenders especially on this day thank you for coming in to highlight those worrying trends thought is marcus vaiko the secretary general of the international here in germany. when a think applies continued on sunday when they suffered a painful four three defeats at home to five great having led three male males and scored two penalties in injury time to feel the remarkable when one of abate hoffenheim to nail while going through one one would have to in the late sunday
