on all countries to recognize jerusalem as the capital of palestine he was speaking as he hosted a summit off the organization of islamic cooperation in istanbul he called and leaders to forge a united response the u.s. president trumps decision to recognize terrorism as the capital of israel and call that move a red line for muslims he hopes of this summit will move allies muslim support for an independent palestinian state here's some of what he had to say. i invite all the countries back in international law and fairness to recognize jerusalem as the occupied capital of palestine we cannot delay this any longer. and we don't discuss one door in jones is at that summit and joins me now from istanbul a door you know ed on has put the question of jerusalem and palestine at the top of

the agenda at this y.c. summit support is there for his position. well it certainly hear it it appears that he does have very much strong support he sees as some of his a bringing together of the muslim world to our pows trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and beyond that he's been using as a platform to issue a very strong condemnation of the israeli security forces calling them terrorists but as you said the key part of his speech is about starting a process to recognize jerusalem as the capital of palestine he called it an occupy capital and a wider efforts to recognize the palestinian state as an independent country and very much so he sees this summit as the beginning of a process to achieve those goals but us president mahmoud abbas has said they'd accept the united states as an honest off air broker in dissolving this come conflict is it a consensus that that who should take away from not the united states.

well yes mahmoud abbas addressing the summit said the. united states had lost their moral and political authority to be there are patrolling the peace process and he said that this should be immediately transferred to the united nations he also wrote a very tough speech against the united states saying attacking the congress for accusing them of being terrorists i think in many ways he is for the record trumps moves as a way of venting all this anger of frustrations been building up over the united states over the years he said that now the united states' role in the peace process is over and will be looking very much to the international community and he's in fact very much boy but what he sees is the isolation of trump he said to many of trump's key allies haven't supported him over this move and he thinks that it's a basis to uniting. the international community to put pressure on israel to solve the peace process calling for sanctions on israel if they do not move forward on

peace efforts and do it finally what kind of outcome is president john hoping from this summit of the. he's hosting in istanbul. i think that. certainly he sees this summit as giving himself a person opportunity has put him again on the world stage he has been facing increasing isolation from many of his allies he sees this as a as a platform to reestablishing his international credential and he sees opportunity of bringing what he sees as the wider muslim community to unite against what he sees as the injustices in israel but it has to be said that there is a glaring emissions of many key countries haven't attended this twenty two leaders of the muslim world are here countries like saudi arabia and egypt their leaders haven't attended and that underlines that there are still deep divisions with specially within the arab world over this while there is agreement of the opposition to trump's move but going forward it doesn't seem to be much unity in

the arab world about what to do about that decision by president trump. during jones in istanbul thank you very much. turning now to the u.s. and what's being seen as a major setback for president donald trump the democratic candidate doug jones has won a u.s. senate seat in the deeply conservative state of alabama and the campaign of the republican candidate roy moore was overshadowed by allegations of sexual misconduct numerous republicans pulled their support for more after the allegations surfaced yet president trump very publicly supported him and the result in alabama also changes the balance of power in washington the republican majority in the senate now shrinks from two boats to just one. of all the states in which the democratic fight should take shape alabama was an unlikely starting point the party has not won a senate seat here and a quarter of

a century. we have rehab just around the state of alabama though we have shown the country the way they are real of was. the celebrations here or much to the control this a surrounding his opponent barely or in the day the republican crusader roy moore had hoped his horse named sassy would carry him to victory but it was the final bed to cast him as a thorough bred conservative in a campaign marred by multiple allegations from women claiming he had molested them decades ago when they were teenagers even for high ranking republicans moore's actions and policies were beyond the pale. he believes homosexuality should be illegal and that moves them shouldn't serve in congress.

for donald trump the only thing that mattered was moore's loyalty to his vision the president has congratulated doug jones on a hard fought victory but said votes cast for a third candidate harmed the right ten vote played a very big factor he tweeted bought a win is a win not so. he has refused to concede. but the votes are still coming in and we're looking at that but god bless you as you go all the place going and thank you for coming tonight we're not over this going thanks in part by. but it is democrats who are smiling having narrowed the republicans majority in the senate to just one day says they see a sign of success is to come in crucial elections next year. is on to take

one to tell you firsthand the traders here. actually on the trading floor i'm calling the behavior off camera canada is very consequent because what really seems to be the case that more and more countries get frustrated when it comes to do trade with the united states canada mexico those two countries they're waiting now for weeks and months to get a final agreement on the nafta trade the free trade agreement but very little progress has been made regarding this agreement so far i really do have the feeling that many countries don't have patient anymore so at the end most likely the other countries are going to benefit in this case now australia who will now get the job for producing those fighter jets all right stay with us danielle because begin to come back to you in just a moment's time first though austria is main gas pipeline is fully back online after a deadly explosion shut down operations on chuse day the cause of the blast which

left one person dead is not yet clear the site in eastern austria supplies gas to several european countries and it was a fear those fears that supplies would be restricted as a result of the blast that initially said gas prices soaring up to some of the highest levels in four year is handles about ten percent of europe's gas supply. will back over to daniel in frankfurt daniel that fire threatening supply needed italy for one to declare a state of emergency surely this makes the case for a backup plan. well i guess when this news was breaking yes or they had and then nobody was really thinking what big impact this really had on the market but also regarding two other countries or when you look at the gas price the gas prices when after a five year high went up by more than thirty percent and i was checking some of the italian newspapers this morning and many of them are writing i mean how can this be

the case in a country because italy just really relying on this one very important gas production facility because also germany and austria is receiving a gas from this pipeline and they didn't have this problem because they have also other ways other pipelines street get gas from so many people in italy today are calling for a change. in frankfurt thank you. in dubai modest fashion week has come to a close in design a say their high end creations are taking off modest fashion attracts women who want to cover up not just to religious reasons it's a billion dollar industry and it is one that is booming now design is based in germany and looking to get in on the success we met up with one designer coming up with outfits for muslim women. a photo shoot for the upcoming winter collection

despite the icy temperatures the photos have to give no hint that the models of freezing cold time and again design omarion led dearie steps in to make adjustments . fifteenth's collection everything has to be perfect for the latest catalogue. in this collection it was important for me to return to my labels origins to have different models on the set somewhere in the hit job some without some with turbans a mixture of light and dark complection to make everyone feel included. in her studio near mannheim the algerian born design a is constantly creating new combinations so. i used a lot of earth tones because i find them very elegant and to get away from too much black so we have rust brown as a key color. it's

a mixture of dark orange and something explosive. exposing. despite fifteen collections in seven years marian led dairy hasn't been able to establish a label on the german fashion scene she specialized in modest fashion a conservative more restrained style that shows very little skin she's frequently turned down for fashion shows gemini's behind when it comes to modest fashion. i took my decision to learn fashion design back then out of a passion for the modest fashion style didn't exist then but the market's been booming in recent years and now i want to be in there with the big players. the big players get together in dubai this year the persian gulf state is putting on the biggest modest fashion week ever fifteen thousand visitors from around the world are expected to attend marian led. label is one of two hundred fashion houses

showing their latest collection. of assamese and there's a lot of interest in music and just the lead expected we're very happy about it just thought we try it out and say thanks to god we're overwhelmed. nerium show doesn't start until late in the evening if she attracts enough attention here it could mean her international breakthrough that would open up a one hundred billion euro year market and then perhaps she no longer have to struggle for recognition back home in germany. every time rita now focusing on an ongoing conflicts in africa that's right helena in the central african republic at least ten people have died in fighting between muslim and christian militia in the central african republic in the past week alone the country may be rich in natural resources but its people are desperately poor

a fifth of its five million citizens have been displaced the un refugee agency says around five hundred twenty thousand people have fled the country and six hundred thousand have been internally displaced all are living in temporary camps our reporter is in the town of kaga it remains challenging for journalists to enter the country but did obviously you're going snide it was able to send us this report. this is the first aid delivery in months to reach the kaga bondo refugee camp up until now the runway had been blocked by survivors seeking shelter from war and persecution. those who've ended up here have horrific stories to tell of murdered family members rape and kidnappings of entire villages burnt to the ground. un soldiers patrol the area here that provides enough security to make

sure aid arrive safely. unicef has built a temporary school where the thousands of children stranded here receive lessons. lucy blush who is one of them. she's twelve years old. isn't in the least bit. and my father is dead the silica killed my grandfather and me so he fled from a village i've been living here for three years. her teacher tells us the rest of her story the muslim seleka rebels kidnapped her mother lucy hasn't seen her since. everybody here is severely traumatized uni safa at least tries to create some sense of normality in the camp even if it's an almost impossible task. the humanitarian needs are increasing sadly

more and more people are under attack i did these we are now we have six hundred thousand people who are internally displaced within the country which is what it was at the peak of the crisis in twenty fourteen so there's still a lot to do. the last brutal attack in congo bundle happened about a year ago many parts of the city have been abandoned those who survived are now squeezed in at the camp at the airport along with thousands of refugees more than thirty thousand people are living in refugee camps. many of them have homes nearby but to walk home means risking their lives violence can erupt at any time even you and troops only managed to broker a fragile peace the majority of the country has been ruled by approximately twenty different armed groups fighting each other for control. of the front lines between the warring rebel groups run right through the middle of the city u.n.

troops have taken a position on the only bridge and check vehicles for weapons but so far they've been unable to stop the bitter fighting the chances for peace are slim the conflict may be rooted in religion and ethnic origin but it's fueled by the fight over the country's resources land gold and diamonds. now britain's prime mrs facing one of the most difficult tests over brags that lawmakers from our own party could push through a proposal that would allow parliament to reject any deal she reaches in recent days a agreement with the e.u. to recently promise that they would be no hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is a member of the european union but this promise could come into conflict with other pledges she's made. the s.g. arean yuri in northern ireland is actually a border and yet nobody can see it invisible borders have brought peace to northern

ireland that's why people in communities such as nuri voted against bracks go on here or damian mckinney tea fights against an exit from the e.u. that would see the return of border posts nias far at the back of that is the republic of ireland there are two hundred seventy crossings previously there was only eighteen points by which she could cross. if it came back to the us if would be an enormous inconvenience breaks up for us will be an economic disaster but it's not just the economy that's at stake memories of the troubles the conflict between protestants and catholics that gripped the island for decades are still on people's minds jonathan powell was i'm a negotiator of the process that eventually led to. the will i fear be more violence as a result of this as you put the hardboard back in again you have installations you have to have border posts you have to have guards on the border and they will of

course be talking to the dissidents powell says the deal with the e.u. will eventually unravel because prime minister to resign may enter government promised too many things to too many different people and the protection of the belfast agreement said to the irish that there would be no hard border they guaranteed it they said to the d.p. unionists that there would be no border in the r.e.c. they said to the brics it is in their own policy that we would leave the customs union the single market and they said to the use that there would be regulatory alignments if there was no over agreement those four things are not compatible. some people like these protesters in london don't want to leave the e.u. at all but there is also a lot of pressure on me from within their own party to make a clean break with the e.u. one obvious solution for northern ireland would be for the whole of the u.k. to stay close to the e.u. to stay in the single market and the customs union but this would be very difficult

to sell to the committed brick city is here in parliament and the conservative party so the problem is far from solved yet. the u.k. will have to decide whether to align itself closely with the e.u. even after breck's it and that's one thing that most people in the island of ireland are hoping for in the north as well as in the south. tour de france in spanish was the winner chris froome has allegedly recorded an abnormally drunk test result the incident took place during his victory in this is spanish race samples reportedly showed high level of an ask the drug froome who has asked the less said in a statement that his symptoms got worse during the spanish road race but that he up to his does it however he said he stayed within the guidelines the thirty two and britain made history in september when he became the only the third ride ever to win the blue and the tour de france in the same mail more on the story with sports

correspondent bob willfully and yes he joins me now give me a first of football what does this mean for chris froome well for the moment and if he hasn't been suspended now what we're what we do know is that the u.c.i. governing body for cycling is investigating freeman's case because on the seventh of september he was tested in spain in love well and it was he was informed of the results which appear to show twice the amount allowed by the world anti-doping agency for this drug this assman drug which is legal it's called selby to maul it's quite a common. assman drug and he had two thousand nano grams on your live one thousand now chris froome said you know he's never hidden away from the fact that he suffers from asthma and he's had it since he was a child and. so for as now they do have to you know take an inhaler often and he's

always been very open about that so at the moment what we're waiting for is basically the team sky which is chris froome team of course to provide further information to this investigation and mention the chris froome says he stayed within the limits of taking this asked him on drugs what has been the reaction to this more about yes reaction from him and the team. you're absolutely right i mean he hasn't like i said he hasn't hidden away from the fact that he suffers from asthma and that he has to take medication for it and he said that. his symptoms began to basically worsen so he approached the team doctor who gave him this. increases dosage slightly and it came out in two samples that were taken a and b. they both showed to have a higher than the higher than permitted levels of this drug in his urine sample so they've not hidden away from the fact and we'll just have to wait and see what

the final results are but if they do come back negative for him he could end up being a band gosh ok bob you fully in the us will need obvious both just thank you very much thanks so much. he watching the news here's a recap of our top story for you to president has called on all countries to recognize east jerusalem as the capital. is hosting a summit islamic leaders in istanbul he says he wants to move allies muslim support for an independent palestinian state. and you remember this. story and other news on our web site. you can also follow us on twitter and on facebook i have more news for you in thirty minutes i look forward to seeing you then.
