11:04 pm
protesters is that they're mostly very young this is what the israeli left looks like right now they're young voters who feel very disenfranchised and very unheard if you're a left wing person in israel right now you're having a very bad week or really a very bad couple of years is netanyahu has base of support is very very solid and he has no incentive to try to compromise on anything that he's doing right now yeah i mean you speak there to the demographic divisions in israeli society what about public opinion in reaction to the violence on the gaza border yesterday. it is a deepening division in israeli society you particularly see it in these protesters who say that they are absolutely horrified by what they've seen one of them was actually holding a sign saying that the eight month old little baby girl who died in gaza yesterday saying the the sign said bibi her blood is on your hands israeli public opinion that bread is very much on the tin yahoo's side but there is
11:05 pm
a very vocal minority who is trying to work to build bridges with the palestinians and to stop this sort of violence and a lot of these people at this protest are those sorts of people however as we've said there really is no incentive for netanyahu should listen to these people to compromise with them to try to reach out to them in any way or include the israeli left in his policies right now because he is having as we've said throughout the week he's having a very good week at his base of support the public opinion in israel is very much in general on his side we've seen cars driving by these protesters a lot of people making very rude gestures out of their windows at the protesters and driving by the u.s. consulate shouting things like donald trump thank you very much. internationally international community around lee condemned the israeli government forged use of deadly force the israeli ambassador to the u.n. spoke earlier let's take a listen to what he had to say wouldn't go down to the mob rushing to the friends

to many of the international community never meet them up with unity to legitimize the palestinian avoid violence but when it comes to the three fifty or the very public too often the board is silent. so what has the government said today. the government particularly netanyahu today spends most of the day defending what israel did in gaza and promoting their story which is that hamas is the one that killed all these people essentially hamas is the one that sent those thousands and thousands of palestinians to the border who were then fired on by the israeli troops and also promoting the line of hey is rich israel has tried other methods they've tried nonviolent tactics talking about the fact that they dropped fliers into gaza telling people not to go to the border saying that hamas was using them as human shields and this is been the israeli line saying that this is not our fault we
11:07 pm
tried everything and hamas pushed these people forward all right a correspondent my enjoyment on the story for us tonight in jerusalem thank you. were north korea has threatened to call off a summit with the us scheduled for next month because of military drills that the u.s. and south korea are carrying out together and that is according to north korea's official news agency hopes were high after a summit between north korean president kim jong il and in his southern counterpart . just last month the two leaders have promised to pursue denuclearization of the korean peninsula and to end the korean war pyongyang has also canceled high level talks with the south there are scads of work to morrow wednesday. but the united states says it is going ahead with plans for the summit and has heard nothing from north korea to suggest that it will not take place. kim jong un had said previously
11:08 pm
that he understands the need and the utility of the united states and the republic of korea continuing in its joint exercises there are exercises that are legal there are planned well well in advance we have not heard anything from that government or the government of south korea to indicate that we would not continue conducting these exercises or that we would not continue planning for a meeting between president trump and kim jong un next month and other state department spokeswoman there have there are no words iranian over foreign ministers of odds are if says that talks in brussels on the future of the nuclear deal got off to a good start today or have met the foreign ministers of germany britain and france to hammer out a plan to salvage the deal just days after us president obama said that he was pulling out the european union's foreign policy chief says the other parties to the agreement are working on a practical solution to keep the law. we recalled
11:09 pm
our commitment to the continued full and effective implementation of the iran it's a deal that was in i mostly endorsed by the u.n. security council resolution twenty two thirty one as a key element of the global nuclear nonproliferation architecture and a significant diplomatic achievement all right liz across now to our correspondent in brussels good evening to you very org so we've got the foreign minister of iran saying good start after talks with the representatives what did the e.u. used federica margarita what did she say in the press conference. the u.s. foreign policy chief spent quite some time to introduce a list of issues to be addressed and when colleagues pressed her on a what does that exceed actually mean are these pledges are these of the guarantees that iran has asked for she only stick to their that line it's issues to be addressed amongst top of the list of those issues to be addressed in the coming
11:10 pm
weeks is to maintain and deepen economic relations so you see a determination on the part of the european union and or at least on the part of those three key a members of the european union france germany and the u.k. that they do want to stick to the deal keep it a life but how exactly that will work out we'll we'll have to see in the coming weeks you know you talk to belt practical solutions georg and what does that mean is that diplomatic speak for just gaining time on a time would of course be helpful because the e.u. has a vested interest to keep this deal in life and also to give moderates in iran more time to contain the damage that has been done by by by the u.s. unilaterally with withdrawing from this now what they hope to do is to sort of. lower the danger of counter sanctions from the u.s. and so they're treading a real thin line here where they want to make keep it attractive french prizes to
11:11 pm
deal with iran to make business but at the same time provoke the u.s. not too much to avoid those counter sanctions yeah you know i'm wondering how can the europeans how can they save face here knowing that there are companies could be sanctioned by the united states. that is of course a big concern here the volume of trade that the e.u. has with iran is three billion but the volume of trade the that rather germany has with iran is three billion but that germany has with the u.s. is one hundred twelve billion euros and so of course that these are serious concerns and that bars johnson the foreign minister of the u.k. for instance said we have to be very careful about the terror and it means for businesses because after all even if the european union comes up with some sort of guarantees which they have ruled out so far they are very aware that businesses
