8:01 pm
for a broadcaster not direct this is our national incheon thomas with us now israeli jets have hit palestinian militant targets in the gaza strip in response to rocket attacks that is according to the israeli defense forces palestinian medics report at least twenty five injured twenty four news correspondent shy ben is in gaza for us. we have witnessed that idea of response hitting targets inside the gaza strip just behind me here on the horizon we could see very large explosions this in response to earlier projectile fired towards israel with one rocket actually being intercepted by israel's missile defense battery i would go over the city of stare at that's a little to the north of here in fact there was a an additional project also fired towards israeli territory that it's yet to actually have been found and a little while after that around nine o'clock local time we did see that the
8:02 pm
response from the i.d.f. hitting two targets going to hamas to go weapons warehouse inside the gaza strip as well as a hamas training facility. two palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured in large scale protests according to health ministry several reports suggest more than seven hundred fifty people were affected tear gas rubber bullets and even live ammunition was reportedly used by israeli police as they clashed with demonstrators tensions have escalated following u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. clashes between protesters and israeli police have been seen across palestine in
8:03 pm
jerusalem people have been gathering near the damascus gate where there is a massive israeli security presence which is trying to dip in skiis their force. postals will get the security services and the journalists who were trying to get out of the way and then the police in pushing those protesters away and running off to them some on the back of who says well trying to steer them away from damascus gate but this is just an indication or small indication of some of the scuffles that we're seeing across these raney in palestinian territories today and over the last few days we've been talking to israeli citizens and palestinian citizens this is what they had to say. there will not be a bad comes the questions consequence of. a ramifications will it for another into fido or another revolution it's going to be interwoven i think so you know but it's this time is not going to be short one you know i hope thinks them outright but i
8:04 pm
doesn't look right you know policies or look for any excuse they can call for and. they don't they're not going to help us it's a significant move i think it's going to cause trouble why do seem to be the capital of israel i don't know. if there's a sound of carjacked any u.s. led peace negotiations also says u.s. vice president mike pence who won't be welcomed because dan dyker project director for the jerusalem center for public affairs and a former affairs. foreign affairs adviser to the palestinian president now for the peace process it actually paves the way to peace because israel will be called upon by the same trumpet ministration to make concessions to its palestinian neighbor which it will be much more ready to do now that a basic wrong has been corrected which is to to rightfully acknowledge that they drew sloan is the capital the possibility is really seem blocked by what mr trump
8:05 pm
has done grewsome is a very very sensitive issue to the palestinians to the arabs to the muslims and to the christians of the world and what he has done. created a serious situation not only of mistrust but of instability and potential for explosion in this part of the world the palestinian authority looks and the hamas of course they look for any excuse to call for a day of rage so you know that the hamas is in business to kill israelis and to kill political opponents like the fatah and the p.a. uses the day of rage as an excuse in order to avoid making any headway on the peace process and word intifada really means a popular uprising and a popular uprising can take the varieties of ways and what is going on today is an intifada what went on three months ago in jerusalem was an intifada but it was
8:06 pm
entirely peaceful and that's what our authority really aims at a popular uprising that is nonviolent is the best way of expressing the feelings and the rejection of the palestinian people of the trump and israeli occupation well if the palestinians want to wipe themselves off the face of the back politically they should continue in this in this line of political violence as well as threats of physical violence i would suggest that they go back to the table where they have israelis with open arms and open hands willing to negotiate with them but this is something they're going to have to learn to do and stop calling for days of rage and for terror and violence. protests against trunk's decision have been staged across the world many people rallied in front of u.s. embassies in support of palestine demonstrators burned american and israeli flags as well as posters of trump and benyamin netanyahu. meanwhile washington's decision
8:07 pm
on the status of jerusalem prompted an emergency session of the u.n. security council and he's been reports now from new york well at the emergency session of the fifteen members of the united nations security council fourteen of those members stepped up and criticized the united states for its decision regarding recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and announcing that it would move its embassy we regard east jerusalem as part of the occupied palestinian territories. we therefore disagree with the u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and unilaterally to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel before a final status agreement. we regret the decision announced by the president of the united states to recognize jerusalem as the capital of his room for in the midst of . the arab republic of egypt denounces the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capsule of israel. china is highly concerned
8:08 pm
about the recent developments regarding the status of jerusalem. washington's decision with serious concern. now when nikki haley took the floor at the security council chamber she emphasized that trump's decision did not really have any direct impact on any borders or ongoing territorial disputes it was simply a recognition of the israeli capital being in jerusalem the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders the specific dimensions of sovereignty over jerusalem are still to be decided by the israelis and the palestinians in a negotiation the united states has not advocated changing any of the arrangements at the temple mount hareem serif the president specifically called for maintaining the status quo at the holy site. finally and critically the united states
8:09 pm
is not predetermining final status issues we remain committed to achieving a lasting peace agreement that the united nations was not trailing palestinians that they had been signed those were her words the usa maintains what nikki haley had said the u.s. decision to do would is that they lose impunity undermines and essentially disqualify its leadership role to seek peace in the region in the aftermath of this announcement from tom we have seen quite a bit of chaos protests are taking place not just in palestine but also throughout the region with various various supporters of the palestinians protesting a lot of anger and the days of rage that have been called by palestinians and others so quite a bit of a strong reaction to the announcement from donald trump which was discussed at the u.n. security council we spoke to the ambassador of bolivia to the united nations so i show you an entity he believes the decision on jerusalem falls into
8:10 pm
a larger pattern of behavior by the united states. i think that we should concede that this is the situation. in a brother from a brother perspective the fact that the united states in contradiction not just international but what their international community has been doing for the past decades. regarding jerusalem. and also. can see the rain it's unilateral unilateral actions against syria not just stuck but also considering the fact that they have left their parisa call them climate change but they have abandoned the negotiations for the global compact on migration and the fact that they are also putting at risk the so-called iran nuclear deal those are examples. right now the united states it's of
8:11 pm
course not just. contradict hundred international but also they are becoming increasingly threats to multilateralism pakistan has threatened to shoot down american drones violating its air sprague their airspace the details on that and more coming up in just messing with. what politicians do listen to them. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present danger. to something i want to be honest. with you go right to the press this is what the last three of them can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. i should.
8:12 pm
why i was president how did didn't return to london why did it's a limited city why the minutes is the q one the most important. then i learned the plans of the airports in the south and invincibility percent of the in many liberated why why do think you have to be this is. all about desire to be international britain's prime minister theresa may says all sides of the budget negotiations are now ready to move on to the next stage of talks however there are still many obstacles the u.k.
8:13 pm
is expected to face as are two dollars to suture going to explode it's certainly the brics it's a deadline is looming time is ticking at what we've seen so far is that these negotiations have been anything but very simple especially maybe according to voters who expect to things to move forward much quicker we've seen until recently and european commission president john clarke basically pot themselves on the box for breaking through with this first round of discussions when it comes to the issue of irish borders now they're looking forward to moving on to issues such as trade however we have seen the european council president donald tusk come out and say that they're going to be really some different harsh realities he's talked about specifically the transition period that the u.k. has put forward saying that britain wants this two year transition period on sad that this is going to come along with some pretty serious conditions he has said that not only will decisions be made without the u.k.
8:14 pm
in this time but he's also said. the u.k. is going to have to respect laws in that time including new laws including budgetary our commitments as well as judiciary oversight let's take a listen clearly was in the transition period following the u.k.'s was to throw. a decision making group continue among. the twenty seven member states without the u.k. . that. seems to be dealing with a reasonable solution well of following these latest developments reaction including some negative have come from the likes of former ukip letter leader and that pioneer nigel farage who has basically described the way things have been going a sort of an embarrassment so let's stay tuned to see how these negotiations will now continue to move forward since the brags that vote in the european union has stepped up its efforts to bolster the block the latest push came from the former
8:15 pm
president of the european parliament a german politician martin schulz he proposed of the creation of a united states of europe i want to new constitutional treaty to establish the united states of europe a europe that is no threat to its member states but a beneficial addition to the convention should draft this treaty and close cooperation with the civil society and the people its results will then be submitted to all member states any state that won't ratify this treaty who automatically leave the e.u. . a number of other measures to boost european unity have previously been proposed among them that the creation of a european army or a european version of the international monetary fund and having an even answer minister earlier we discussed this with the head of belgium's peoples party we shall come in he says europeans are worried by the prospects of a united states of europe. if you look at all the polls today from cities and from
8:16 pm
all over europe they don't want to more severe and for the e.u. they want to the contrary that the member states get back more seventy they want to take their first futures back in their hands particularly taking into account that the e.u. looks to be a very undemocratic you know an elected official taking decision today in brussels that many citizens oppose and more to read the incapacity of the e.u. to tackle the major issues in europe and certainly one of the major issue for example is migration a lot of european want the borders because and we know today that the proximately six million people are waiting. to get into europe and europe and want to block that and you see that the e.u. . is to younger for example saying that we need more migration we need to open the
8:17 pm
borders this kind of ideas are totally rejected so i think that a lot of. european citizen will be concerned and worried by mr short's plans. victory. the pakistani air force says it will not allow any drones including those operated by the u.s. to violate the country's airspace that is going to air force chief so highly. we will not allow anyone to violate our airspace i have ordered the pakistan air force to shoot down drones including those of the u.s. if they enter our airspace violating the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. pakistan has condemned u.s. drone attacks saying that they have been damaging to the country and have caused deaths and severe injuries among civilians we spoke to talat masood entire three star general of the pakistani army he says it is time for the u.s.
8:18 pm
to stop playing a double game in pakistan. bost the united states has been playing a good cough bad call game but. one says something positive the other. strong threats in the past the drones have been attacking targets. but haps the approval all for the government of pakistan but in the past couple of years the government of pakistan has not provided any such approval that the united states should actually and its options because it has been using pakistan as an ally and if. it would be detrimental to the peace in the region. pakistan's air force chief also questioned whether u.s. involvement in the region was actually helpful he raised concerns over washington's previous track record of attempting to build democracy. no outside power can engineer a democracy inside
8:19 pm
a country nor is democracy the solution to every problem examples in iraq and libya are in front of us after the fall of gadhafi and saddam what happened in this country is did they get democracy it is a syria currently and of course yemen afghanistan iraq all of these countries they have lost their ability and they are in serious problems in fact the moment there are some scribes in the new york press in the washington press who are predicting that if pakistan doesn't go the line of the united states of america if syria like situation may be created over here because pakistan cannot allow its territory to be used by others to engineer in the name of democracy and me farcical moves which will destabilize the country. the e.u. has blacklisted seventeen countries as offshore states in an effort to to combat
8:20 pm
tax avoidance however according to the charity fam some countries were left off the list thanks to political pressure. the blacklisting process has been surrounded by secrecy putting citizens in the dark and leaving tax havens free to use their political and economic leverage to get themselves off the e.u. blacklist. oxfam claims that for members ireland luxembourg the netherlands and malta should be on the blacklist of tax havens if the e.u. applied its own criteria to them oxfam also points out that some e.u. members not only use so-called conduit offshore financial centers but they act as ones themselves they do this by being an intermediate destination for money transfer to tax havens they also provide federal favorable tax policies to ensure a quiet funds flow this enables the mediators to protect the reputations of their client countries financial commentator charlie boyle believes the e.u.
8:21 pm
has made ineffectual attempts to clean up its image after the two thousand and sixteen pentagon papers scandal. it was an attempt to be seen to be doing something internationally about the offshore hate inside that london is one of the biggest financial centers and it has. this transfer pricing policy which which makes it. virtually zero percent for the big corporations in terms of corporation tax and it's also. saving in big seventy eighty as well so. again it's totally unfair but what i've noticed interesting is that panama a person repaired ice papers and the leaks to deal with that how quickly it's died down it doesn't matter who's on the list or who is not on the list it's a case of the existing. business practices in those countries as well but it doesn't address the wider problem of the tax policies individual western countries
