call for a better deal to win over skeptical party members and keep formal coalition talks alive but senior conservatives from angela merkel's camp won't have it. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. we begin with breaking news from iraq where at least thirty eight people have been killed and one hundred five wounded in twin bombings in central baghdad bodies still being recovered from the site at central tyrone square it is fear that the death toll could rise the iraqi interior ministry says that the explosives were detonated by two suicide bombers. the area has been targeted by similar blasts since two thousand and three there has been no claim of responsibility so far but this latest attack bears similarities to previous bombings by the so-called islamic state

in other news now palestinian president mahmoud abbas has accused israel of ending the middle east peace process he says that israel's actions mean that the oslo accords no longer exist those one thousand nine hundred four agreements formed the basis of ties between israel and the palestinians abbas also stressed his opposition to u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize traversal and as israel's capital he declared that jerusalem is the eternal capital of the palestinian people he made the comments at the opening of a p.l.o. meeting on the west bank. abbas also had strong words for trump who he said would it cheve the peace deal of the century between israel and the palestinians. even though to trump those no we will not accept his project. told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate

for more let's bring in jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer who is covering the story for us so tanya we just heard abbas there saying that israel has in effect ended the oslo peace accords take us through his rationale. well he effectively said that israel and the also codes what he means by that is israel's actions and that the also chords for example by continuous building and expanding settlements in the occupied west bank that's one of the criticisms that posting in and maybe it will center council they will discuss the political implications of the decision by u.s. president to recognize to send us the capital of israel and in light of this us decision the positions are not trying to reframe their relations trying to reach frame their point of actions and what that means in concrete policy because we didn't get much

of a complete policy in the speech by president abbas you might know that more once just meeting is concluded it's a given that he has made this assessment the success and that the oslo peace accords are dead first of all is that really the case and second of all does it even matter i mean the fact that that one side believes that the peace accords are dead does that kill the peace process of sensually. well take to fully i mean people here would say there is no such thing as a peace process at the moment now mr abbas has made it kills in his speech that the postings want to continue to pass or peace but not in the way that the positions would accept a u.s. led initiative that the u.s. has a say alone and that was their kids they want to see an international approach maybe a multinational approach like for example in the existing. bodies the quartet required to meet is quartet also the five plus one model that was

successful in the iran nuclear deal so what they are saying they have to fill the void to know that us has left interesting a new model of approach to continue the peace initiatives and the time that we know that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is currently in india but before he left the middle east he accused abbas of of trying to dodge peace negotiations using transfer marks interests him as an excuse i just want to play for our viewers what exactly he said and then get your reaction there after have a listen. has used this. statement to seek a way to do so from the run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate produce you've got to negotiate. we've never put any preconditions undergo shish and ultimately tanya is israel itself prepared for talks now is it

prepared to make concessions. well that's exactly the question i mean this is that you've just been hearing is that deposed indians are the ones that every fusing to come to the negotiating table i think the decision by the u.s. president has really strengthened it's going to go with which is right. and at the moment there will be no exemptions showed them to change course and in play for. time ukraine are with the latest from jerusalem thank you let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world the stock exchange of the indonesian capital to jakarta has been evacuated after a floor in the lobby area of the building collapsed police have raised to seventy five the number of people hurt it is not clear what caused the mezzanine floor to come down but police have ruled out a bomb explosion. in turkey has condemned u.s. led plans for a thirty thousand strong border force in northern syria the move by the coalition
