this is. the deadliest. four years at least fifty two killed by fire from israeli troops they were among thousands protesting against the opening of the new us embassy in jerusalem the white house blames hamas for intentionally provoking the israeli response to the dedication of the u.s. embassy went ahead despite those protests. the u.s. delegation it was called a glorious day israel's prime minister. also coming.

or are they. to members of germany's national football squad meet turkey's president. over their loyalties law. good to have you with us for some it was a day of joy for others a day today and today the u.s. officially opened its new embassy in jerusalem a move celebrated by israelis condemned by palestinians president decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital broke with decades of u.s. policy and it put the country at odds with most of the international community today at the border with gaza palestinian protesters a protest against the move they turned deadly with at least fifty people killed by

israeli troops the white house has blamed hamas which governs gaza for what he called intentionally cynically provoking the israeli response. the sky blackened with smoke on the bloodiest day on the gaza israel border for years. gaza's health ministry said children were among the dozens killed. because of. the actions of the army a brutal towards the palestinians towards children women and men young protesters have come here on protected they want to deliver a message to the outside world that they want to come back to our lands the lands of nine hundred forty eight. or so along the way all. the bloodshed followed six weeks of protests and comes a day before the naacp catastrophe when palestinians commemorate those who fled or were expelled from their homes in the one nine hundred forty eight war surrounding

israel's creation. israeli forces say they were trying to quell violence from per test does and stop them from breaching the border. the protest angle was also fuelled by what was happening on the other side of the border. the u.s. opened its embassy in jerusalem although palestinians want that capital to be in the city's east addressing the ceremony by video president trump insisted the controversial move doesn't mean the u.s. wants to abandon the peace process. israel's prime minister also addressed the issue of peace and his remarks at the ceremony. made the opening of this embassy in this city spread the truth far and 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 general divided up little visual.

outside the newly inaugurated embassy scuffles broke out between demonstrators and police. with many palestinians furious at what they see as a move blatantly favoring israel and peace seems a distant prospect. for earlier i spoke to a political analyst in gaza. and i asked him about the white house's claim that hamas was responsible for today's bloodshed on the border between israel and gaza. now there is no secret about the fact that hamas has been owning the gaza strip for the past eleven years and the other fact is that hamas is one of those organizers who are organizing this march of reacher and breaking this huge protest against israel and it is also not no secret that hamas has been recruiting the palestinian people to go to the border area between gaza and israel to protest against the

palestinian suffering in gaza up to put this together is this is why you see you don't like it and also to send a very very mr crystal clear message to them it does that feel indication of their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is not acceptable to the telephone is what hamas has been asking the palestinians to to have another violent protest against israel and hamas does not begins to use any kind of weapons or any force against the israeli soldiers but unfortunately some of the tall slim young for sisters tried to breach the fence between gaza and israel which meant that is where in this light was with the only it was using live ammunition and make it one of the most vividly is days since the term but a decision that ignited jerusalem as the capital of israel more than five months ago mr abu sada we appreciate your time tonight joining us from gaza thank you.

and we want to go now to our very own usually there she is in jerusalem and she was at the embassies opening today miles bring you when i want to ask you about something that was said today when the u.s. made the controversial decision to move the embassy it never defined jerusalem as the eternal undivided capital of israel but that is exactly what prime minister netanyahu said today at the embassy opening i mean what do you make of that is part of his words do they mean that this is a done deal and that there can be no peace deal with the palestinians. is really that word undivided that's the key word there brant the whole division of jerusalem is part of this entire controversy here now if you're looking at it from the israeli perspective this was a done deal years ago and talking to israelis on the streets of course there are

a lot of mixed feelings about this but there are many who say look this is simply a acknowledgment of reality jerusalem is functionally our capital our government is here our prime minister lives here our courts are here this has always been our capital and of course jerusalem being israel's capital being recognizes israel's capital has been a pet project of netanyahu for a long time but of course it is that we're undivided is the division there that was supposed to be negotiated it will be a final status negotiation item on that during at the whatever peace process is supposed to be going on which at this point is more or less moribund yeah and bring mr netanyahu he showered president drunk with praise today for keeping his political promise for making what is widely perceived as a controversial move let's put the rhetoric aside for a second there is growing fear that israel and iran are inching towards war i mean how emboldened is the israeli leader leadership tonight by the trump

administration's unequivocal support. if you're not in you know right now there is no doubt in your mind that trump and the u.s. in this region are one hundred percent on your side because not only did the u.s. move its embassy to jerusalem today but get cancelled as trump would say sends really the be kidding and we also know that israel has said that they struck some iranian targets in syria so there is definitely this fear of an escalation possibly between iran and israel and again let you know basically feels like he has a free pass from trump at this point there was also some controversy surrounding the evangelical pastor robert jeffress who led a prayer at today's ceremony now earlier today mitt romney the former u.s. presidential candidate and a developed mormon tweeted this he said robert jeffries says that you can't be saved by being a jew and mormonism is

a heresy from the pit of hell he said the same about is law such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the united states embassy in jerusalem now there's a strong words there romney is not alone in his criticism of jeffords in fact the religious leaders that trump associates with they've been a lightning rod for criticism especially when we talk about this belief that the end time is now approaching. it's really important to remember that there are two demographics that trump was playing to when he made the announcement that he was going to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and one of those demographics is evangelical christians they very much support trump in huge numbers and a lot of them believe that the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital is helping to bring about the end times so they are very much celebrating this that's one demographic and that is a demographic that jeffress is definitely

a part of the other demographic of course is very conservative right wing jews in america among them of course is sheldon adelson the casino millionaire who very much is pro israel and donates a lot to republicans so that was really a gift to him these are these two demographics that are really watching this and are celebrating this move today definitely strange bedfellows to say the least our correspondent why is where you're almost forced tonight in jerusalem why of thank you very much. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world iran's foreign minister mohammad zari of has met his russian counterpart sergey lavrov as part of a diplomatic tour aimed at saving the country's nuclear deal confirmed that russia would respect the agreements despite the u.s. withdrawal its all regions due to meet with foreign ministers from france germany and the u.k. in brussels on tuesday a populist shiite cleric and his alliance have emerged as the front runners in

but here in germany two players in the national football squad have stirred up a row over where their true loyalties lie they're both german born but their parents originally came from turkey on sunday they met turkey's president. and that's where the trouble starts. german internationals with turkish roots as it is ill and. posing with wretched tired bearded one the photo was later distributed by the turkish president's party going to one handed out i want to jersey on which he'd written for my revered president the scene has provoked a firestorm from fans and german politicians. as well has been rejecting the german national anthem for years and it has to be said that he is also a product of a failed integration as we are now seeing if one has to ask whether he'd rather play for the turkish national team. punish me about it it took us or not and i went off to. get into one has both turkish and german citizenship while israel has had

only german citizenship since his eighteenth birthday critics say the photo could be used to help the turkish president's election campaign so they let themselves be used for a cheap propaganda show for a desperate and authoritarian rulers who is obviously afraid of losing fair elections in turkey and they had to do the act soon five i think the players committed a serious foul and i think it's embarrassing to pile on the stock of distance between german internationals and a foreign president is in my opinion completely inappropriate for this woman. apparently surprised by the criticism going to one issued a statement it was not our intention to make a political statement with our photo and even less so to campaign for his election as germany internationals we are committed to the values of the d.f.t. and are aware of our responsibilities therefore football must be guided by values and where mr advani is in charge those values are not sufficiently respected. and

so one must not allow oneself to be exploited for an election campaign this fall the lesson of the photo session with the turkish president has become a political issue just before the announcement of germany's preliminary squad for the world cup. our sports news now after months of speculation german coach thomas to shell has signed for french club. to shell has been out of work for a year since leaving dortmund at the end of last season he had two successful campaigns at the club lifting the german cup with at the end of his tenure to show has signed a two year contract with the french champions. you're watching the live from berlin and more coming up at the top of the hour for all of us here thanks for the company .

every journey begins with the first step and every language but the first word published in the. code is in germany to learn german why not learn its simple online on your mobile and free themselves from w z learning course nikos fish german made easy yeah. and i think one day this war will be considered a cruel and unjust war you got it. and certainly all citizens were crane.
