the united states to support the resolution 470. in his remarks, then secretary of state said the following. the draft resolution before us today is illustrated with a preoccupation that has produced a series of unbalanced and unrealistic text on middle east issues. specifically regarding the provision on diplomatic missions the secretary said in our judgment this provision is not binding on it is without force and we reject it as a disrupted attempts to dictate to other nations. it does nothing to promote a resolution of the difficult problems facing israel and its neighbors. it does nothing to advance the cause of peace. that was in 1980. it is equally true today. the united states will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy. buried even deeper in the jargon of the resolution is the accusation that the united states is setting back the prospect of peace in the middle east. that is a scandalous charge. of those who are making it should consider that it only harms the very palestinian people they claim to speak for.

so i want to watch the biggest counties in the state, the most populous counties in the state to compare doug jones' performance tonight with this other democrat from 2012 who came close to beating roy moore that night. in 2012 running against roy moore, bob vance won all four of the most populous counties of the state. jefferson county, madison county where huntsville is, mobile county, montgomery. bob vance won them all against roy moore in 2012 with anywhere between 52 and 71% of the vote. so in each of the counties tonight we'll be looking to see in those places is doug jones able to improve in those big populous counties, is he able to improve on that margin that that democrat got against roy moore five years ago when he almost beat roy moore? i'll tell you one lucky part of approaching this election that way is that we're told that madson county where huntsville is, that's sometimes relativelierly reporter sometimes able to turn the vote around quickly, in which case madison county may give an early indication what is going on and how roy moore is performing compared to 2012 when h

money then then the combination of all the european states put together and that really goes for the arab states as well the united states has been the biggest purveyor in the biggest cheerleader for palestinian independence and together with israel by the way have done more to advance palestinian independence that anyway than any other country in the world so the problem is that the palestinian authority is working against the will of its own people and i can tell you a somebody that's in the west bank every day talking to the palestinian people the palestinian authority are have become a cynical terrorist supporting entity that is not working towards peace and that have no interest in at this point coming to the negotiating table negotiating with israel and this is against the will of its own people and if you were here in the areas of drucilla and gone through the west bank and have real conversations with palestinian professionals you'd realize that they're all saying palestinian authority and my what about us are working against the interest of their own people and that's why you

southern states back in the 1960s using states' rights within the constitution. when we go out and assert a a right as a state under the constitution and the tenth amendment to proceed in the forward leaning manner is because we tend to be inclusive in the way we conduct our affairs. when i try to separate families so because they are of immigrant stock. when not trying to deny students a chance to reclaim the monies they pay for a student loan from a for-profit university that went under or never provided a a real education for which i to be inclusive of the people of the state of california. it could take a look at some the actions of some of the states previously that you mentioned, those actions and asserting a states' rights was for the purpose of excluding and, of course, in the '60s it was very clear. federal government, stay out of our affairs. we will decide who can attend what skull of what university aced on color of skin. eric the state out of her hair. we will let the people of our states know who can sit at a counter and have breakfast or lunch at th

what could the state do? >> first of all i think it's important to recognize what past -- it regulates the operation of sports gambling schemes. it doesn't actually regulate sports gambling in the generic sense and it says nothing about individuals in gaming -- if new jersey wants to say all of our prohibitions on the demand -- all of its provisions of the demand-side it can partially repeal. >> can the federal government enact a law say no state shall pass an income tax greater than 6%? >> i think it might be able to do that. let's put it this way -- i don't know why in principle that would be so different from the statute issued in baker which is no state shall issue a bearer bond. i think it's the same. to the extent it would be odd, isn't it just a preemption provision. even he concedes if congress regulated the field they would be no problem with the preemption. >> it seems to me there is something a little more odd which it goes to the fundamentals and powers of the state to function their own government

because so far the. states keep on talking about the palestinian problem but no one is taking concrete action. action furder the condemnation or is the actions or the jews they can against the palestinians for the first. greet step. do you summit has called on all countries members of congress and adams. occupied capital oh policy ok and when would you go would you agree with that would you see the outcome of today's summit as a concrete step in the right direction i think it's a. step in the right direction but i wouldn't quite call it a concrete step i mean the meeting called on its member states to make this declaration of recognition but we'll have to see to what extent it's actually implemented i mean i would have very much expected to see something. significantly more concrete in terms of the member states of the o.e.c.d. announcing and adopting specific measures at the meeting not only visa v. their relations with the palestinians but more importantly in respect of the relations with israel and with the

state in honduras. amy: what is the united states doing behind the scenes, president zelaya? >> they want to leave the dictator in, endorsing a dictator. amy: how do you know that? what is it doing to ensure that? the organization of american states put out a report mostlyay, which is , about how the operational side of the elections are being held. is ahe oas, well, this report that must be analyzed with the state department as well. and they say clearly that the oas cannot consider the results put out by the election tribunal to be reliable. they are saying the current illegallyis being reelected. they violated the constitution. they have assaulted the institutions of the state. they carried out a fraud. they did not want to carry out the census. since they were not able to win at the ballot box, they are now manipulating the count system. the oas are to put out a report that we find very satisfactory. based on that report, today we will be presenting challenges to the election. we will be calling for a general count

iran which is an islamic state so and it's interesting to talk about iran that the one state which refuses the two state solution is iran itself because iran thinks if we had one state palestine the jews would be marginalized they'd be a minority they'd be swamped then and we'd have situation like in lebanon or in syria and so on that's what they want so it's obvious the two state solution has to happen and that this this this fact remains whether mr trump says that jerusalem is the capital of recognizes that jerusalem is the capital of israel or not whether anyone recognizes it or not this has to happen i did will happen but it won't happen tomorrow it won't happen in a year and it won't happen in five years is a palestinian state really still feasible given that patchwork that has been created by the settlements or with the palestinians be better off at this point simply saying we want equal rights within one state i personally believe that israel has very much succeeded in killing the two state solution there is no more land any more and i personally for one truly believe in the one sta

this service with the observer states back in 2012. it's much needed peace and justice in the middle east. also together we requested that the president of the general assembled to convene this emergency special session. i would like to conclude on behalf of the entire turkish nation that turkey will never let it down. the palestinian people will never be left alone. thank you mr. president. >> i think you and i give the floor to the distinguish representative of the united states. >> thank you mr. president. to its shame, the united nations has long been a hostile place for the state of israel. both the current and previous secretary-general has objected to the un's disproportionate focus on israel. it is a wrong that undermines the credibility of this institution. that, in turn is harmful for the entire world. i wondered why in the face of such hostility israel has chosen to remain a member of this body. then i remember that israel has chosen to remain in this institution because it is important to stand up for itself. israel must sta

longest-serving clerk in the state department was bicycling down the road in observernd one looked into another and said there goes our state department right now. it is about the size and the power of that. there are very important reforms in the late 19th century and again in the early 20's. this professionalize the foreign service which brings some kind of administrative oversight regulation to it. i would say that the story mirror is more or less what we were hearing about the military, it has expanded since 1898, he does his job better, is it ready, is it prepared in this. to take on a much larger responsibility as it would in the mid-20th century, probably not. there was an infrastructure in place through the education system also linked to and -- immigration in those lingering ties we were hearing about. >> back? come from the side right here, thinking for a pass any presentation tonight, my question relates to my understanding which i believe is correct which is at the moment, we declared war, it was not yet a foregone conclusion that we would send ground troops

collaboratively with the private sector. in state in multistate facets are key. last year doe sponsored a multistate exercise in the northwest to explore the impact of the earthquake sound that would have catastrophic impact on the energy structure in the northwest. california hosted a regional workshop to look at the impact and response to the san andreas fault earthquake which would have similar devastating impact. we also had a cyber lead emergency exercise in new england last year to look at how that would impact if a major shortage were to occur. here are some of the pathways to improve the public and private sector resiliency initiatives. powergrids combined with for facilities, hospitals, transit can improve the reliability, resiliency and provide cost savings. storage, wind, solar, other generating fuel diversification options offer additional resilience. smart grid investments like smart meters can identify the number of customers that have lost power which allows for faster recovery, improved physical and cyber security is

next on the calendar, the state of the union address. house speaker invited president trump to address a joint session of congress on the 30th. you can watch the house live on c-span and the senate live on c-span2. >> i have been attacked by everybody. my have been attacked by the right-wing, the russians, the trump campaign. i have been attacked by the sanders campaign. now i can add to that list the clinton campaign. ,> sunday on c-span's q&a former democratic national committee chair donna brazil talks about her life in politics. >> i was here in washington, d.c. hillary was very excited. she had met this young state senator who was running. she has roots in illinois. she told my good friend. my friend, we were on the third floor and she said that she knew barack obama. i did not know barack obama. harolddanny davis and emanuel.n, rahm i knew a lot of people in chicago politics but i had not heard of barack obama. we met him that spring of 2003. let me say this -- the rest is history. night and 8:00 on c-span. >> earlier this month, t

west jerusalem and the state of israel is the reason for the state of palestine. we believe that the only way which to go is between the parties on the 1967 borders. there is no alternative solution that would be both viable and sustainable that would meet the expectations and address concerns. this is the position of the entire european union. this is what the foreign ministers told benjamin netanyahu. one by one. our position is of the most solid foundations. it is based of the course between israeli and palestinian leaders and on the national -- of partners know very well where we stand. and we have made it very clear. always and during this last very difficult days. as a partner and as a friend we've always been clear in our position before and after the decision. the us secretary of state together with the 28 european union state foreign ministers. we invited the united states to carefully reconsider the repercussions that this may have. of public opinion in the region and all around the world. what happens in jerusalem has global repercussions. for good and f

in the state of alabama though we have on the contrary the way. the celebrations here on much to the control of the sea surrounding his opponent. airlie or in the day the republican crusader roy had hoped his horse named sassy would carry him to victory. it was the final bid to cast him as a thorough bred conservative in a campaign marred by multiple allegations from women claiming he had molested them decades ago when they were teenagers even for high ranking republicans moore's actions and policies were beyond the pale. he believes homosexuality should be illegal and that moves shouldn't serve in congress. for donald trump the only thing that mattered was moore's loyalty to his vision the president has congratulated doug jones on a hard fought victory but said votes cast for a third candidate harmed the rights and votes played a very big factor he tweeted bought a win is a win not so. he has refused to concede. but the votes are still coming in and we're looking at there but god bless you go all give you play fury and thank you for coming tonigh

the states. all right? now, that cannot be 100% true because we have all the reaction. -- all preemption. you can still get it is basically true with preemption being a commerce cause based exemption. then ask, what have we here? transportation safety act? osha? nothing like that. no federal act like that. is there a deregulation act which says if you do the federal policy there will be free enterprise affairs? no. because all the things you mentioned have the words of state law and it. -- in it. all we have here is a group of provisions, all of which are addressing themselves to what kind of law a state may have without a clear federal policy that distinguishes between what they want states to do and what the federal government is doing. given those circumstances, it falls on the subject matter of this law is the state. that's what this is about, telling states what to do. and therefore, it falls within commandeering. a little long, but that's how i was reading. new york, it is not addressing its

the secretary of state has misstated the recount law in his own state on national television. and although this particular secretary of state in alabama makes a practice of frequently issuing clarifications on legal matters on his website on all sorts of election-related stuff, today he has apparently issued no clarification whatsoever. so it's this weird thing that's now sort of feels like background music. a big national story, right? there is this national furor, national excitement over what happened last night in alabama, but technically, last night in alabama is not settled, if you ask one side in that contest. now, that may end up having implications both in alabama and in washington, d.c. we're going to be talking about both of those prospects over the course of this hour tonight, which means we're going to be going back to birmingham tonight. alabama, i'm sorry, you are not yet free of the plague of national media that has descended upon you. in the wake of last night's shock results, the country has today learned a lot more about doug jones, this life-long alabamian

the. there can be no state of palestine without jerusalem being its capital we will not accept otherwise there will be no peace in the region and worldwide without. condemning donald trump's jerusalem live palestinian president mahmoud abbas makes his position clear at a meeting of muslim leaders and stumble. and i may call out this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up in the program the threat of on groups in west africa regional leaders are in paris for talks on how to respond to attacks in the region. plus the philippine congress votes to extend that martial law on the southern island of mindanao. for president trump after his favorite candidate roy moore loses the alabama senate race to his democratic. so talk he says the world must recognize east jerusalem as the capital of a palestinian state the turkish president recip top to an address leaders at an extraordinary meeting in istanbul he condemned the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel as an acceptable he describes the united states as a strong nation but said it did not mean it could bully the rest of t

the state purchases, warehouses every voting machine in the state. additionally we have the most current software available in all of our machines and test each one before and every elections. once they're tested a tamper proof seal is placed on them to protect against intrusion. in louisiana because no one touches our voting machines except our staff because they are never sent out to a manufacturer for repair, they are not handled by individuals or companies who program voting machines because they are very tightly controlled by our office, we have the utmost of confidence in the system. we do need to prepare. yes, we do need to continue to update our processes and procedures, yes. we do need to be vigilant, yes. as secretary of states we are currently looking for a better practices that we can solicit from various entities and groups. most of all, we are looking for the remaining 396 million in federal dollars that were never appropriated to help us replace aging equipment purchased over ten years ago. i will certainly be available for any question

but in our own state in ways that erode our privacy and the like. they also pose very fundamental challenges to us as different states develop different norms for dealing with these technologies. i can anticipate, in the united states, very dramatic issues associated with, for example, how we manipulate our bodies, embryos and the like. we are used to the abortion debate and how deeply it has affected us here. what happens when people try to choose amongst embryos, for example to maximize the intelligence of their offspring, not simply to avoid diseases and the like. what happens when china begins to make a different choice in that regard? suppose they decide intelligence as something to be optimized in the embryos of their population, and americans make different decisions? for 200 babies are born every day in america today that were conceived in test tubes. where are we going from here? and i have a set of issues associated with that. but most fundamentally, and finally, i would just put to you the idea that the very liberal notions of what

there is no alternative to the two state solution there is no plan b. . if he's only by realizing the vision of two states living side by side in peace security and little recognition we jews as the capital of israel and palestine and all final start to see issues resolved permanently soon negotiations that the legitimate aspirations of both peoples will be achieved for my part as united nations secretary general i will do everything in my power to support these rarely and policy and leavers to return to meaningful negotiations and to realize these vision of the last thing peace for those peoples thank you very much. secretary general of the united nations there on tony good terry. basically saying there is no plan b. that the u.n. and the international community stands by the plan for a two state solution let's go to mike hanna he's at the u.n. in new york obviously also listening to what good parish had to say i mean no coincidence the speeches come literally minutes after donald trump finished finished his. here's indeed only veiled criticism of preside

the sector. state says that washington is ready to hold talks with north korea without preconditions rex tillerson made the comments despite the white house reaffirming president donald trump's views on north korea have not changed. for the first time in twenty five years the democrats in the united states state of alabama have won the senate race doug jones defeated roy moore was controversial republican candidate was accused of child sexual abuse spitzer was opening doors by donald trump more demanding a recount. right up to date with headlines we've got more news coming up here on al-jazeera right off to buy for now. ahead of the september twenty fourth national election survey showed a satisfied with the state of the economy this is easily news biggest tech success story the company was bought by microsoft in two thousand and eleven we bring you the stories to the shaping the economic world we live in counting the cost at this time on al-jazeera twenty first century africa a continent undergoing gr

that the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states. as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line this is our consolidated position and we were continued to respect international consensus on general salim until the final status of the oldest city is resolved to die that's a negotiation between the parties and we hope that the part this kind of gauge in many for direct negotiations with the support of the international community one hour from our zeros dominic kane in brussels. the reception with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu received in brussels was very cordial as befitting that of the head of the government of the israeli state but the message that he brings that jerusalem is the capital of israel and should be seen as such by the international community will that so is the degree of discord amongst the e.u. leaders we know that federica madine the e.u. sentinel policy had sent the use official position is that there can be no recognition of capitals as it were unti

the state from being miniature fcc's, trying to regulate the economics of broadband, but it is not prevent a state attorney general from doing this for providers -- to hurt consumers. >> watch the communicators monday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span two. >> the democratic party met over the past two days, considering changes to have -- the presidential candidate nomination process. this is the final day of the dnc commission meeting, just under three hours. >> i certainly hope going forward that this is the process. we have ourselves as participants. there is outreach regarding this meeting. that one of many people rsvp to the meeting. we finally received any mail for this meet -- before this meeting started. no one has ever gotten back to me, or anyone else i know for this meeting. practicing what we preach. now recommendations are going to for this. i would hope we can improve upon the image. i'm sorry to say i'm a without the some social media, like we talked about. the exact opposite us happened, in terms of being transparent. i'm also one of the co-authors of this report. -- which wid

of washington will be going live shortly to correspond in the united states. the u.n. security council overwhelmingly backs a resolution to quote null and void donald trump's decision to make jerusalem the capital of israel but the resolution is vetoed by the united states. protesters take to the streets of the austrian capital vienna after a far right party takes key positions in the new coalition government. are getting to you my name is neil harvey you are watching r.t. international to start with breaking news story let's bring you up to date with this because there's been quote multiple fatalities following track train derailing from a bridge over interstate five which is a major commuter highway in pierce county washington state part of the train has been left dangling from the bridge you'll see in the photographs the situation there numerous passenger cars have fall onto the highway we have had fishel now reports of multiple faith tallaght many people injured amazingly the reports are that nobody in the vehicles has been killed in this incident but actua

the u.s. move around jerusalem it was a much broader expression of outrage towards united states bullying of the un and un member states the trumpet ministration is not the first in u.s. history to do this kind of bullying some of the language was very reminiscent to similar threats and bribes and punishments that were issued by the bush administrations both both president bushes when they could not get the support they wanted for wars against iraq in one nine hundred ninety and then again in two thousand and three but the difference here was the blatant nature of it the when president trump was willing to say we don't care specifically those were his words we don't care about the impact of cutting aid on these impoverished nations if they dared to vote against the united states that's a real expression of absolute disdain for the rest of the world and i think there will be retaliation that will go beyond this particular vote speaking of the retaliation is a bit melbourne do you think that trump will be able to move forward and deliver all the threats against the nations the voted against his de

capital of the state of israel those who support today's with solution i like puppets you are puppets pulled by the strings or your palestinian puppet masters you are like a marionette forced to dance while the palestinian leadership looks on with glee you are blind to the lies i know way over the manipulation surrounding you just like a puppet this vote is nothing more than a performance of the luzhin the palestinians no peace with illusion in the flowed they know this with solution that absolutely nothing for the lives of the palestinian people. they know it won't create jobs for their people they know it won't provide better health care for the people of or gaza no this revolution is nothing more than a distraction all it will do is tear the palestinians they can continue rejecting peace in if you vote for it you are sanctioning that view i think those brave countries that do not support this with illusion you have not fallen prey to the puppet show before us you are the defenders of real peace you are the leaders who prove that no un with pollution can

the end state, the united states new strategy is to destroy terrorist safe havens and deny their re-establishment while the afghan is trying to maintain security and create the conditionses for reconciliation with the taliban and inclusive government that accounts for the ethnic diversity of all afghans. we know this will take time. but if we fail to exercise vidge lance and undertake actions from the terrorist threat wherever it is found we risk recreating the havens from which the 9/11 plots were carried out. we urge contributions of troops, funds and other forms of assistance as we seek to eradicate a terrorist threat that will not be confined to the place where it was born. the mission is essential to our shared goal to ensure that afghanistan to contribute to regional stability and prevail over terrorist threats including al qaeda and isis. even though isis is on the brink of complete extinction in iraq and syria, the threat of isis and associated terror networks will persist in our own country and isis is looking for new footholdses in west africa. these areas do not need to become the next

. -- annals of the united states. the handles of the united states were much shorter back then, right? a lot worse things had happened. one said the constitution had been trampled upon because the government had united executive, legislative, and judicial powers in john jay's hands. he would negotiate the treaty, which was an executive power. you would be making the treaty which would eventually be a law hopefully, and then he was certain is a judge and might have a lot come before them. so they had a delicate legal question, they answered it in a particular way. washington thought jay could be appointed. the senate. jay could be appointed. chief justice jay that he could be appointed, right? now i will talk about why i think they were right. after the claim that you cannot hold two offices. i think you can hold two offices. certainly if you are in one branch. nothing in the constitution says each officeholder shall only hold one office. there are questions of the act. if someone is holding two offices at the same time

that is never going to occur in the remaining caucus states unless we flip the government in the states. they will never agree to same-day registration. we are also saying same-day party registration and we're also saying absentee voting. numberot just the total of people who vote, it's what kind of people, what do they look like, are they working class, what happens to people in those states in terms of voter registration when we turn it over to the republican party to run it? that is what we're trying to protect. >> thank you. jan is next. >> i agree with larry. we're talking about small, rural state. they are faced with photo rights being eroded every day. the republican secretary of state has aggressive voter id bill. friendly, the caucuses are our needs to build the party in these small, rural states. washington state is very blue and a larger state. i understand. us, it is the party, if the only way we can build and grow our party and have an open and inclusive process. hands off, david. >> next is jeff weaver. >> i have a couple of concerns. i was under the impression we are pre-

has the president of the united states committed a crime? potential crimes as referred to under review. i am not going to comment on any. individual cases i'm sure he can conclude himself of the line between free speech and criminal activity. years ago, i tabled an early day motion calling for banned from the united kingdom based on the divisive comments he made at the time. he retracted those comments. it is clear he has not changed. point. the key can the home secretary to make -- whyis so intent on someone is so intent on stirring up hatred is invited to the u.k. for an all expenses paid visit on the backs of the taxpayer? >> the american people, for whom he is the president, the american people, for whom so many people on both sides of the house have said they so much admire, those are the values that i admire, that we have so much in common with. the home secretary will know that [indiscernible] muslims live in peace together. explain to my muslim constituents that there is a national interest in inviting this man? >> i have mad the poin

why should the states have this autonomy the obama administration does not want them to have?. >> so to distinguish what previous states have done using the state's rights when we go out to research under the constitution and tenth amendment is because we intend to be inclusive we're not trying to separate to deny students a chance to reclaim the money forum a student loan form the for-profit university that went under or never provided a real education we are inclusive of the people to the state of california. in the '60s it was clear government's data murphy of of our affairs. federal government stay out of our hair. to have breakfast or lunch at the public counter to figure out what seat in the bus a person could take. into say federal government stay out of our hair have to retrieve the people? the approach is very different we're simply saying that we should not allow the federal government to exclude people simply because it doesn't fit the political leanings of those in government we believe the constitution is there to protect everyone equally we will use our right does

i want the united states to stop provoking. instead work to create the conditions to make dialogue possible. glenn, i think that a lot of people in japan might feel differently. they've seen north korean missiles flying over their territory. there have been air raid drills. >> where else could they go? >> let me get the question out and then i want you to answer. people in japan have seen north korean missile tests flying over their territory, right? they've had air raid sirens going off. what do you make of what mr. tanaka has to say? >> i have low sympathy with mr. tanaka. abe wants to get rid of the constitution and the only way to do that is to frighten the japanese people which is why japan is not interested in the settlement of the north korean situation because that means he'd lose his referendum. and he's going to call a referendum. japan's interest is to actually make every phone ring, every time there's a north korea missile within a 1,000 miles, so and if you look -- you want to launch a medium-range missile there's n

the united states owned 1/5 of its capital stock, $7 million, and the president of the united states appointed five of the bank's 25 board members of -- member of the board of directors. it did the functions of today's treasury department. it broke her to federal loans, federal loans, it received a stored, it transported and paid out government funds. it issued bank notes, which were the countries only paper currency. the bank was also a commercial business. it loaned money in competition with other banks. it made profits, and it paid dividends. clothed by its charter with -- and these words are in the charter -- with exclusive privileges and benefits. operating throughout the land when every other bank in the country was confined to a single state and most to a single city. at a time when the treasury department itself consisted of a few dozen washington clerks on a scattering of land offices and custom offices throughout the country. the bank of the united states was literally the only national financial institution in the country. it held immense power over the functions of governm

jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the united states congress has reaffirmed and a fact of history that cannot be tonight. i support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u.s. embassy to this decision is long overdue and helps correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally may be a tipping his hat to his base and saying you know this is a campaign promise that i made he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect on the united states and world opinion and regardless of its effect on the palestinian. people the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks it's terrific a year ago at his inauguration donald trump said that from here forward it would be america first well it's starting to look like maybe it's trump first. r.t. new york. in other news today the turkish president earlier described israel as a terrorist state as he hosted muslim world l

the u.s. could be counterproductive. i think this idea. that states uses its power and wealth and the dependence of some other countries on its assistance trying to get votes in the united nations this is not something entirely new i think what is perhaps. new and interesting about this situation is that the united states starts for a situation of complete isolation as you saw there was a fourteen to one vote in the security council and even countries that are normally very closely allied with the with the united states such as the united kingdom who spoke very strongly in favor of the resolution. other countries are afraid of the united states probably more than they are. of any other power it's not very surprising that the united states is the country best placed to use these bullying tactics but i think that. the way that they're used is not very subtle and may well backfire i think that american influence in the world has been declining now for twenty years or so and i think this kind of behavior is likely to accelerate that decline. there is a de

the united states is no longer an honest broker of peace. we as palestinians, arabs and muslims cannot accept any more that the united states be a piece broker because one of the basic requirements for a piece broker is to be honest and neutral. neutral and not to be biased for one side or another. also when we go to the peace and security counsel when you make this decision null and void and a charter and there are provisions that enables us to present to the peace and security council in for which the united states would not be allowed to vote and we will go to the general assembly regarding the membership of israel because it's membership is not in line with international resolution. we will go to the peace and security council to consider the question of the full membership of palestine. it's the most important issue and what can the islamic present to [inaudible]. how can we [inaudible] how can we further support the position of the people? i know there is there are people who talk about normalization and the question and there are peopl

eighteen months prior a video declaration of war against germany by the so-called islamic state or i asked. the message terrorist sleeper cells in germany would attack the coup far or unbelievers with everyday weapons like vehicles chemicals on nine s. . the author and singer of the threatening statement was germany's most sought after terrorist at the time x. rapper dentist coos power seen here in two thousand and twelve with the group passing out copies of the koran shortly after he and fellow islam ists headed to i asked in syria and from there he maintained his contacts with berlin and also with the leaders of a mosque that was to play a central role in the christmas market attack. the foods he led to mosque was an islamic state base in the german capital these are some of the first published images from inside the mosque. this is where connected with the i.r.s. network in germany he also slept here on occasion as shown by this selfie an acquaintance of omri who attended the mosque remembers him he wants to remain anonymous he let the prayers in smaller groups when it was prayer t

and i could not understand how medgar can embrace the states with all the evil and whatnot. believed it was a possibility and that it could grow and could become what we say we want in this united states of america, freedom to pursue who we are and developing ourselves the best way as possible. i on the other hand shun that we had many arguments about it. he said you have to believe and my thing is i believe in you but don't go too far. he could not walk away with his believes. >> joe morton is here not too long ago. he played the one-man show. have you had a chance to see it yet? >> yes. >> so you know what i am talking about. i was sitting in my seat in tears when he got to the scene of the time that dick spent with medgar in mississippi just hours, days before he was assassinated. when you sit in the theater and you watch stuff like that, were you at home turning the tv channels and you stop and see something across the screen, all these years later, how did you process that, sitting in the theaters and watching the scene of dick and medgar in mississippi? >> it is still

well the thing to say is that there are some e.u. member states who actually believe that jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of of the israeli state certainly the czech republic and and hungary have said that they and will do the same thing they will do likewise but the point to be made is that the vast majority of other countries do not believe that that's the sort of step that should be taken right now they believe as we heard federica morgan really say that the two state solution is the way to go certainly the city which i know many broadcast from berlin the foreign minister there said that he felt that the actions of donald trump's administration were fueling the fire of protest as it were so the question will then be well does the e.u. speak with one voice because if it does and it is saying that. opposes the position both of the united states government these are the the recognition of jerusalem and obviously the position of the israeli government well that suggests that they are in profound disagreement so some might say that wou

even more than the secretary of state. o when he went up to capitol hill and the members of congress wanted to give him more money said he didn't need it. i have never heard of anything like that in my life. i do think that -- there is a way of, of -- that this administration is treating diplomacy. and i am appalled by that. and the fact that president trump seems to believe heave is the only when who counts. so i think it hurts america to, to be undermining the state department. and, and i've teach at georgetown. i know that there are a lot of students there who -- are preparing themselves for a life in enternatiinternational relat. a lot wonder if they should take the foreign service exam. not only are we hurting the current diplomatic service. we are undercutting a pipeline of people that could represent america in the future. so i think it is appalling. i hope that something changes on this because we are weakening ourselves. what truly bothers me is president trump is weakening america. and as a -- proud and grateful a

the choices we're making. and again, we don't have to wait on washington because states can lead the way. goal number six -- sustainable infrastructure, resilience, and innovation. so, target one -- 100% of roads and bridges, railways, airports, seaports and levees should be in a state of good repair. not quite these days. number 2 -- every community should have plans for resilience against natural disasters. so sorry that after harvey hit texas and you go back how many times was houston warned that it's inevitable that flooding is going to come, make a plan? and instead, we had a governor of texas that was busy suing the epa rather than making plans for his state. i think mr. abbott should just go home and apologize, frankly, but this is what we have when we don't have plans. and three, enhance the scientific research and technological capabilities. for example, higher r&d spending by states. those that are really investing in innovation are creating new enterprises and new jobs. now, here the united states is a little bit better, but we pride ourselves on being number one in the world. d

and this is a crucial role by the united states. we look forward to hearing the views of the administration's proposal with those extensive dialogue over the past year. at the same time over the past weeks and from that latest rocket attack against israel. that escalation of violence must be prevented and to exercise restraint the only way forward is through negotiations. >> thanks to the representative. now to the representative of ukraine. >> to be in favor of the proposal adopted by egypt. and then to be through the negotiations and with the security council resolution and with that inadmissibility and it is too well. we are strongly convinced there is no other viable alternative to the two state solution for those to engage but without current escalation to not get out of control and finally mr. president to add my voice for those incoming members of the council. thank you. >> thanks for your statement now to the representative of china. translator: china is in favor of the resolution just put to vote to be at the core of the iss

he is elected to the virginia state legislature. but one of the most important projects at the time is that he is a delegate to the virginia ratifying convection. this is connected to the story that we tell in this news am of the framers forging the constitution through compromise and then sending it to the states for ratification. when we think of virginia, we think of the most important state in the union at the time. eight states have ratified the constitution. virginia, new york, and new hampshire where the most influential. the virginia story is an amazing one. it puts together some of the most important figures in early american politics. patrick henry, richard henry lee, george mason, were opposing the constitution. supporting it was james madison and john marshall. he gave influential speeches, including a defense of judicial independence. the importance of the judiciary within our institution. opposing views with someone like patrick henry, the firebrand, one of the most powerful figures in virginia, he even denied james mad

the jewish state and thejewish people will be forever grateful. e minister describing this as a historic day. your thoughts on what the secretary general was saying and what the israeli prime minister was saying? the secretary general of the united nations spoke with a broad international community, against the backdrop of decades of un resolutions, decades of peacemaking, failed peacemaking that peacemaking nonetheless, wherejerusalem is one of the most, if not the most emotional issue in the final status issues that have to be resolved. prime minister netanyahu spoke as the leader of the state of israel, and expressed his profound gratitude for himself and from the people of israel. very grateful, he said. those are the two realities tonight. but there is more than one side. he's has to be made between two pupils. one side feels very aggrieved and angry tonight, another feels grateful. that's not fertile terrain to try to move forward. as a backdrop, thank you. once again, it's only about half analysis we heard from donald trump, making the annou

of the union of states called the united states of america. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. under the speaker's announced spoifl january 3, 2017, the gentleman from texas, mr. gohmert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. it's been quite a week. ups and downs, not knowing whether bills would be passed or the government would be funded, whether we'd be able to help america with a much improving economy in the new year by passing the tax cut bill. but we got it done. and it ended up being a good week. and here we are, this will be the last opportunity to speak before we're out for christmas, and i heard some good news today about ukraine. we have the annual presidential prayer breakfast the first thursday of february each year, except when the first thursday it's on irst, and then the eighth, which it will be this february. we had representatives from ukraine government come to our national prayer breakfast here nd they started on

agreed to the transfer to al-quds before the final state negotiations said the united states itself is doing what it had already prohibited and this is also the case of national organizations, it including the security council. we witnessed the very aggressive strong reactions from different corners of the world and this is something that cannot be denied at all. demonstrations took place all over the world. also, we heard the voices of condemnation from all societies from which members to members of the peace and security council of the 14 members of the peace and security council, of course almost then took negative positions against the united states did in this particular. there are actions at the islamic which the president had organized in no time here in istanbul and decisions will be announced. you listen to these decisions and resolutions. our position is as follows. the united states is no longer an honest broker of peace. we have palestinians, arabs and muslims cannot accept any more that the united states be a peace broker because one of the basic requirements faced to be
