6:02 pm
has officially opened its new embassy in jerusalem the move celebrated by israelis and condemned by palestinians protests on the gaza border have turned violent with fifty two people killed by israeli troops there president trumps decision last year to recognize the city as israel's capital broke with decades of u.s. neutrality on the issue and put it at odds with most of the international community . donald trump didn't come to the opening ceremony himself instead he sent his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushner both advisors to the president who decided to move the embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital chomps and to video message to the gathering israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital prime minister binyamin netanyahu called this a historic day and said the move didn't stand in the way of peace talks with the palestinians made the opening of this embassy in this city spread the truth far and
6:03 pm
wide and may the truth advance a lasting peace between israel and all our neighbors god bless the united states of america and god bless jerusalem the eternal devoted couple of this. palestinian protests erupted against the relocation of the embassy in the border area between the gaza strip and israel the number of dead and wounded is rising witnesses say protesters once again tried to break through the border fence the israeli army responded with tear gas and live ammunition. confrontations are also taking place in bethlehem in the west bank massive protests have been announced for tuesday when the palestinians commemorate their defeat in the israeli palestinian war seventy years ago. well it's a day full of symbolism but also violence as we just saw we will get analysis from
6:04 pm
gaza in just a moment first want to take you outside the newly inaugurated u.s. embassy in jerusalem where. maya schrader is standing by when the u.s. a made that controversial decision to move the embassy it famously never defined jerusalem as the to use the prime minister's words the internal undivided capital of israel so going by what the prime minister netanyahu or just said as we heard in that report is this a done deal. if you're looking from the israeli side leila it definitely is a done deal and speaking with israelis here on the street of course there are a lot of mixed feelings about this move but many people are saying simply look this is the reality of jerusalem is functionally our capital our congress is here our prime minister lives here this is our seat of government and this is one of the lines the netanyahu has touted over and over again throughout being prime minister is that jerusalem is israel's capital and it will never be divided and it will be
6:05 pm
the eternal capital of the jewish people and now with this move this acknowledgement by the us that this the support of the us that that is true it basically means that in his mind there is no disputing this fact even in the future peace negotiations that may or may not happen and we have to remember that jerusalem was supposed to be a quote final status issue that means that it was supposed to be the last thing on the list of things to be negotiated in peace between the israelis and the palestinians and not the very first thing that was perhaps taken off the list now i'm i am not so far away from where this a festive opening ceremony took place with all the dignitaries assembled there have been deadly protests in gaza the death toll is rising officials saying no there to nearly a fifty people have been killed today has that been felt where you are. it's
6:06 pm
an incredibly sad situation in gaza with several dozen killed and perhaps in the hundreds injured and it really is striking to see that you really can't feel it here we're in western lucilla right on the border or in fact i'm in fact standing on the border of where. theoretically starts and it could be a completely normal day here in israel if you didn't know the u.s. embassy was opening you wouldn't know that anything perhaps extraordinary was even happening and it really is emblematic of what life is like for many israelis there could be violence and riots and really people getting shot and killed near miles from where they are and you wouldn't even know it major disconnect that you portray their prime minister netanyahu showered to president donald trump with praise not surprisingly for keeping his promise for for making what is widely perceived as this a controversial move now if we put all the rhetoric aside there is growing fear that
6:07 pm
israel and iran are inching towards war how bold and is the israeli leadership by the trump administration's unequivocal support. this week has been a big win for netanyahu not only has the u.s. embassy moved to jerusalem officially but the u.s. also announced that they are pulling out of the iran deal this is something that netanyahu had been campaigning for for really years now really even the end of the obama administration he was saying this was a bad deal and that the u.s. should pull out of it and now they have we've also seen israel strike as they say several iranian targets in syria so it does look like this escalation is perhaps coming to the fears of many people who are watching this situation and if you're not and now you are seeing these moves by donald trump and there is no doubt in your mind that the u.s. is now one hundred percent on your side no matter what you choose to do going forward all right maya schrader reporting from outside the newly inaugurated u.s.
6:08 pm
embassy in jerusalem thank you mayor for your continued coverage. and as israel celebrates palestinian protests grow. sad is a political analyst in gaza and we can talk to him now on the phone i believe. very good evening how is the day unfolded where you are in gaza. well we can hear about two very are very deadly isn't the start so marshall return which started about six weeks ago on marshall march their spirit so far this year which is be coordination of learned hello star and so far more than forty dollars dinners have been shot their bodies were to be snipers on more than two thousand palestinians have been there as a result of the big voters which took very along the borders between dog areas where the very. far from number all of our palestinian guards want to hear is
6:09 pm
expected to our record there but if you already come off and you're with me there are a number of. people who are in our garb of. not tomorrow tomorrow as you know. mark. this anniversary as their day of catastrophe do you fear that there will be more casualties come tomorrow. well to be honest with you to palestinians on the side there's to start their posters today today is the seventieth anniversary of the fall of the not but also the us decision to look at its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and that's why we have a very big but this today now tomorrow there will probably be a day over national mourning as a result of the high number of palestinian. enjoy now we're going to be there would be in term support this tomorrow would between the palestinian month
6:10 pm
nonviolent what this does under is why really are to me it would be feared but i think. it's too early to say that. this would. be those who are in charge of the marshals there and has extended the protest all the way to jordan which is the fifth one out of a city of the occupation of west bank gaza and is jos to them by israel and i'm sure you've heard probably a prime minister benjamin netanyahu concluding his speech at the opening of the u.s. embassy by calling jerusalem the eternal undivided capital of israel no palestinians if he ever get their own states have always said east jerusalem will be their capital how much of a setback is this to the aspirations of the palestinians self-determination. want to put it to you were never to short where the mission of the u.
6:11 pm
us. survives the capital of israel and the litigation of u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is another matter but at the top of that is that all of the mirrors now go up twenty years that's your job so there would be the capital of kabul stunned and fired him as in general most of them as the capital of israel is a very stark there for the palestinians but let me also add to that this you are sick mission of goes to limit the declaration by not been you know going to visit your caramel and undivided capital of israel is jim contradiction with international. goal money you aren't a critic of the resolutions that have. recognized it was given as an option you still can rise up your pride got authority and the future will deal with them should be resolved on the negotiating table with unilateral action by the u.s. and israel where i think it's needed a last chance to do you think that has not happened so that brings me to my last question who can your community who can the palestinians turn to now is there
6:12 pm
anybody left. that is a very good question arlit me say that the palestinians were also in there for you was a would play on almost a vocal in the mideast peace process between the palestinians and israelis and unfortunately the us had decided to do to support israel and not to be honest to poke out and another thing that is hurting the palestinians is that the other force is also divided between those who are. would contact with his wife and the others a lot of basically still have very bad relationship which is where it is now let me say that the telephone of us can hoping for the motion of intervention they are hoping for the international community to intervene and put pressure on israel to stop its occupation arms length can cause correction of some of the near sort of story and maybe other countries are going to intervene like
6:13 pm
a little thing here in union russia or china hope would please him very important role in the mideast peace process in the future i must say though political analyst in gaza thank you sir for speaking to us it's my pleasure to be with you thank you . all right we're to bring you now some of the other stories making news around the world. catalonia as parliament has elected a new regional president ending a six month long leadership vacuum cantore is a pro independence politician who has promised to work towards a cattle and republic he's referred to catalonia is ousted former leader carlos put you want as the region's legitimate leader armenia's new prime minister says he wants closer ties with moscow and he called partially on has met with russian president vladimir putin thanking the country sufficient ally for what he called its even handed approach to his country's political crisis took power a week ago after weeks of protests led to the resignation of the country's longtime
6:14 pm
leader iran foreign minister mohammad zarif has met with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov as part of a diplomatic tour aimed at saving salvaging the country's nuclear pact serif received assurances from lab raaf that russia will respect the agreement despite the us says we're drawl last week. and with the time ticking for that iran deal ben is more because there is a huge business interest tied to the story as well definitely that's why the foreign minister is on his whirlwind world tour iran has given europe sixty days to confirm the status of a nuclear treaty iranian politics website says the e.u. must pledge the treaty will remain in force even after the u.s. withdraws runnels or once the european union to uphold all economic agreements that may be difficult for you with sanctions against companies that do business with iran. so definitely be a topic at talks tomorrow between iran's foreign minister and his e.u. counterparts in brussels legally european businesses are not bound by american
6:15 pm
foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the u.s. the e.u. is resistance to the new u.s. sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it hurts. and that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with iran but european policy makers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that it wants yes yes i think there is a true realisation a realization among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign is what. the question is how to go about protecting european interests lemaire
6:16 pm
suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but untested political tool currently at its disposal. the measure would permit european companies trading with the run to ignore the u.s. sanctions decisions by u.s. courts would also not be upheld in europe. so far the e.u. has not signaled what measures they could adopt. the foreign ministers of germany france and the u.k. as well as a few foreign policy chief for. are scheduled to meet iranian representatives in brussels on tuesday they are expected to affirm their commitment to the original nuclear deal. i asked alice and wood from the consultancy control risks whether anyone stands to benefit from new sanctions. i think that in terms of who will benefit with these sanctions i think we will continue to see russia and china do business with iran and perhaps even more business with iran regardless of the
6:17 pm
sanctions in place and i think part of that is because they're less exposed to u.s. financial institutions and markets and are able to do more business in different currencies and so i think they will be the ones that are particularly well placed in the coming months to continue to do business with iran. another u. turn for u.s. president donald trump after banning american supplies from doing business with the chinese tech giant zed t. he now wants to save the company it relies heavily on tech made in the usa trump says he's instructed officials to come up with a rescue plan saying too many jobs are at risk tweeted president xi of china and i are working together to give massive chinese phone companies that c.e. a way to get back into business fast it employs eighty thousand people and said last week its major operations had ceased after being banned for seven years from
6:18 pm
buying american take the u.s. accused of misleading regulators by continuing to do business with sanctioned iran and north korea. threats go to frankfurt where financial correspondent daniel coppa stand by daniel is there any explanation for this sudden change of mind. very interesting and so investors were rather surprised about this latest read once again so what's going on as the u.s. president as i don't know really care that much about jobs that could be lost in china and we have to remember that he has consistently accused china of stealing u.s. american jobs so reading this thread now makes many feel that this is actually a dramatic shift for mr trump we also have to keep in mind that the concession to beijing comes ahead of high level trade talks later this week in washington with a goal to deescalate the trade dispute between the world's two largest economy also i would like to share a statement made by
6:19 pm
a professor of trade policy today he say that a reversal of the c.t.e. decision could temporary tamp down trade tension by allowing the chinese to make concessions to the united states without losing face so it could be a charm offensive but also pure saturday for the upcoming meeting later this week don't you think it's also interesting the republicans are criticizing this decision based on security concerns is that legit well we have to remember that april the commerce department banned u.s. companies from selling to city for seven years after illegally ship goods to iran and north korea and now the republican u.s. senator marco rubio a long time rival of mr trump said on twitter that he hopes that this isn't the beginning of backing down to china and that the problem with that he is not about jobs and trade it's about national security and even espionage even though maybe saying that the national security of the u.s. would be at risk is maybe some sort of overreacting but the original band was not
6:20 pm
related to any kind of protectionism that we have seen there are there were reasons like i just mentioned of doing business with north korea and iran don't you go first with the analysis from the frankfurt stock exchange. and just briefly film star selma hayek has called for male actors to take a pay cut as a way to reduce the gender gap she made the call during an interview with the confit festival becomes the day of the dozens of female movie makers staged a protest on the red carpet calling for equal pay and a picture. for you go below going on a couple of blog going on a com thank you so much for that ok we're going to turn our attention again to the mideast where with more than half the votes counted in iraq's a problem entry elections nationalist shiite cleric others could be set to make a political comeback supporters cheered the news in baghdad where the cleric and his communist allies took the highest number of votes
6:21 pm
a victory could put those saw that it is a strong position to pick the next prime minister but he'll have to overcome opposition from iran which has vowed to prevent his block from taking power during prime minister body is lagging behind in third place. and just back from covering the elections in iraq is every own jafar have a team of get to see you just are just a little bit about the front runner who is easy to know it is my other it's they didn't announce it officially yet but it seems that he is the winner i got some insight from dr talking to people who are in the commission within hours they supposed to announce him and you winner of this election and maybe the successor of buddy and he is quite interesting person you think character is this firebrand cleric the old nemesis of the u.s.
6:22 pm
i think at some point they wanted him to be arrested yes but he also does not have a good relationship with iran that's true he distanced himself very clear to iran and this might be a reason why people are elected him beside that he did it in a campaign he pushed a campaign which is again. sectarianism and type corruption and when you talk to the people of iraq i was there a whole week from mosul to erbil to buck when you talk to them two things they hate nowadays which is corruption and sectarianism they say sectarianism is the reason why there's bloodshed in iraq and corruption is the reason why a lot of people are poor and they criticize our bodies government they connected to corruption you know and that's why he performed poorly exactly and he's the person giving himself being part of the poor people the average iraqi talking to the people telling them we want to distance ourselves from iran we want to be united we
6:23 pm
have to think about our own contrie and would also to him that the people are saying it's enough interference from foreign policy if it's iran or saudi arabia over at the u.s. and he's the one saying we can decide our own and it's very interesting the coalition he had during the elections he had with the communist party and also with the secular. and that's something you because people are really fed up of sectarianism and they say he might be the better one than our buddy but if he really did the right one for iraq because of his history it's a big going to be question besides that we have to know that he comes from a very influential religious family. his father was an ayatollah the grand ayatollah who was assassinated during during saddam hussein during saddam as i was president so he has some kind of credibility because of his family but he has also he was the one leading a militia and now we need two years ago he showed a different face from him so it's going to be interesting what's going to happen
6:24 pm
the next weeks the next months talk a little bit about that because the runner up is this coalition of iran backed candidate yes. he's active that's that's going to be the interesting what he's going to do it will he call it because i don't think he's going to get the majority because you have to get one hundred sixty five seats out of three hundred twenty nine seats in the parliament this is not sure yet if he got the majority so he has to find a coalition is it going to be. supported by iran or maybe a bad idea but he is dealing with different stakeholders he has the support of the u.s. but he also has the support of few on this like the one who is dealing and talking with everyone we know about the ovo it's not official yet that assad is the winner he already said i'm ready to cooperate with another coalition for forming the new government so these are all sides a maybe a buddy and look at us other will be the new having
6:25 pm
a new coalition but when we talk back to the people the people i thing they want a new one the person who fights against corruption and sectarianism because even the very low turnout in iraq is election showed that people are not so interested and they don't believe in change so there's a big responsibility whoever wins whoever if there were no it's officially within hours there's a big responsibility to unite the country and to find corruption and put iraqis first exactly that's going to be the questions are going to get him thank you so much iraqi politics is starting to sound like companies. all right and now we've got to music. and i was going to tell you we've got the news just in that after months of speculation germany coach thomas tickle has signed for a french club but essentially to go has been out of work for a year since leaving dortmund to at the end of last season he had two successful
