today there is a body of international law and international consensus on the two state solution with jerusalem as a capital for both states and parameters that would be agreed-upon for resolving the situation. the egyptian text recall these elements. and this is why france voted in favor of this text as a permanent member of the security council, as a friend of israel and palestine france will spare no effort to bring the parties to the table of negotiation and achieve an agreement in accordance with resolutions of this council. there is no shortcut to this hard path and continuing to speak truth to both parties on this issue which i underscore is key to stability in the whole of the middle east which is why it is essential that we don't cease our efforts, the we continue to meet in the council and ensure we can play our full role on this crucial issue and you can be assured of the commitment on the end of france, thank you. >> i think the representative from france for his statement and now i represent the representative of senegal. >> translator: mister president, senegal supported

international law commission christian thomas shot. these really palestinian conflict is heating up once again with american recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital causing riots and clashes over the west bank clerics in gaza calling for a general uprising against israel what will the american decision help accomplish in the middle east how will the world react to washington's move and can the roll over jerusalem become a spark that will ignite more bloodshed the age old conflict. question tom was shot former had of the u.n. international law commission welcome to the show it's really great to have you on our program now mr summers that strongest move to recognize to resilin as the capital of israel goes against the u.n. security council resolutions that the u.s. itself supported like you said the tell me can the usa go against a legally binding decision stat it has backed itself. the security council did not . legally binding decisions on jerusalem but there are many. of those security council which. focus on. one of those resolu

know this this in a way is of weakness of general weakness of international international has no police force no army it relies on. compliance voluntary compliance by the states on the rules of international. in this regard unfortunately. israel is not very good to say it fairly. u.n. general assembly had a vote on the u.s. decision and take us and way to the u.n. nikki haley's that president trunk taking this very personally president himself that he will cut off financial aid to countries who are against this decision while washington achieve anything here by threats. of the united states should not. act by pressure and coercion on other states i think is it's there's not a fan as this is not compatible as he saw in the quality of stays states must be able to all pronounce themselves freely in the general assembly of the united nations and take said decisions freely was out i eat outside hindrance i think and if president trump takes it personally is this a not good parameter because it's not a personal matter between him and the palestinians he's a president of the united states and

quotation that the military capabilities comply with international law and are entirely defensive. instead of violence that day'' labor to put out fires while the arsonist in the region grow more unhinged. with united nations just released a new report that tells the opposite story. it tells the story of iran in the report shows the regime is not putting out fires the fanning the flames of conflict in the region. this was the of report dealing with compliance or noncompliance with u.n. resolution 2231 that places a specific provision on iranian contact and in the strongest language yet secretary general's report described a violation of a violation of weapons transfers and ballistic missile activity. united states welcomes this report ashes every nation concerned about iranian expansion. we are grateful for the depth of the eight expect -- inspection and analysis but most telling the report makes a convincing case iran is a legally providing the houthi militants with weapons with devastating evidence of conventional arms and explosives of those that are used by the rebels in yemen

let me just a little about international law. there have been lots of discussions going on the past five or six years at the u.n. in something called the group of government expert is asking not just cyberquestions related to election interference by the browser server questions about how can we think about what is appropriate behavior between countries in cyberspace and they were making some good success, some good progress up until 2017 and by that i mean there was at least a general consensus that the basic principles of international law embodied in things like the u.n. charter were relative to cyberspace. so that is if something happens in cyprus race that produced the equivalent of a man's attack, well then the victim had a right to basic principle of international law dealing with security. what happened in 27 team with this basic sort of consensus that well understood norms of international law applied to save her broke down. the cubans are sorted the most vocal cause of the breakdown, but it's well understood the russian

the international community is concerned. this was the strongest secretary-general's report that we have seen in reference to the violations and we don't intend to let them go. [inaudible] >> it's not just european countries. we will be asking the entire international community and we will start with the security council in terms of doing that but it time for all of them to wake up. this is going to be eye-opening. more are coming to see it. in terms of congress the president very much wants to work with congress on how we are going to approach iran going forward so as they go through that legislation that will be a a lot of what they look and how do we deal with these destabilizing behaviors we are seeing by iran? >> do you have any evidence on what was imported or exported via the houthi rebels and second when you gather up all the evidence here does this make you believe it's time to exit the nuclear deal for good? >> i think these and i will let them explain that further but these are from the last two attacks we saw comi

pursuant to international law long as. well as will prevail and the un resolutions and security council resolution before they have all unequivocally rejected the occupation after. which started in one hundred sixty seven at the moment. since we are meeting today to shed light on the danger of infringing on such legal parameters that were reached over dozens of years it might be appropriate to day to recall the most important binding security council resolutions on the olds the old ones and the modern ones on the truce resolution two hundred forty two provided for the withdrawal of israel from the territories occupied in one hundred sixty seven including jerusalem resolution four hundred seventy eight rejected the occupation of the city by force and considered what is called the basic law which was imposed by israel a violation of international law you value and does not alter the legal the taters of the city. well you know one also has no impact on the applicability of the geneva convention on the protection of civilians

international law and to ignore the international consensus to stand with the israeli occupation at the expense of our rights and the nature of our cause. with the speed of the united states has missed an opportunity to correct it illegal decision to jerusalem and it has persisted in its historic sin. we reiterate once again that this u.s. decision will have no legal effect that will alter the character and the status of jerusalem by any means. this resolution affects the status of the united states as a peace broker and actually stresses and undermines its role in any future peace role. like we heard today it is one 100% in favor of the occupying power rather than in opposition between us and the israelis. it is paradoxical that while we were awaiting a peace plan from the u.s., the administration instead decided to further obstruct the realization. this underscores yet again the failure of the old foreign union and there should be an new mechanism for the collective process going forward. these resolutions are binding and they remain valuable until there implementation. a veto can

community accept israel at the same time there's a whole body of international agreements specifically stating and providing for the two state solution based on the nine hundred sixty seven borders before israel occupied east jerusalem. did you read some statements as at third diverging from that in any way accent or your facts are wrong unfortunately i mean they're dead wrong there's no there's in austin the ostler agreements it says specifically that the final core issues including including settlements including the future of jerusalem and final borders will be determined by negotiations un security council resolution two forty two is governed israeli palestinian diplomacy for decades since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and it makes absolutely no mention whatsoever of israel's requirement to return to the indefensible nine hundred sixty seven line i care no no no way no where you can teach a national agreement it is stated that israel can have jerusalem only to the south can you not mention any specific document that would proclaim internationally that jerusalem is the sole

the international law and international consensus were clear over jerusalem all states. care ok for respecting the special status of jerusalem and the historic status of the holy sites including a machete if he today. may not detonate once again misses an opportunity to go back and illegal and provocative decision. this is an opportunity to join the international community and put an end to its isolation however it insists on ignoring the interested because shien's of its decisions and the cause the international community upon it to respect the laws of international legitimacy which govern our world and which prevents the escalation of conflict and after a framework of reference for just peaceful solutions mr president you know the state of palestine respects the sovereignty of states so long as this sovereignty is in line that with international law however we refused to have started to use as an excuse to violate international law and to trespass on the rights of our palestinian people which are in illegal and that we wish is to have it used to deny our right to exist

of the long standing palestinian israeli conflict should be reached on the well known basis of international law including the corresponding resolutions of the security council and the general assembly of the united nations the stipulate the settlement of all aspects of the final status of the palestinian territories. including the so sensitive question of jerusalem through through the course of direct palestinian israeli negotiations. we are worried by the fact that the new position announced by the united states on jerusalem risks further complicating the situation in palestinian israeli relations and in the region as a whole. therefore we call on all parties involved to exercise restraint and to refrain from actions which might have dangerous and uncontrollable consequences. it is necessary that particular attention is devoted to the issue of guaranteeing freedom of access for all worshippers to the holy places of jerusalem. russia's principle position remains unchanged it stipulates facilitating a long term palestinian israeli settlement within the framework of which peaceful and safe ex

i'm very happy to have an international panel. it sh rufrpg by one individual because the professor is ill. so she couldn't join us. i'll try to channel her as best i can with my own personal twist. we have an international panel that i'm excited about. though thought long and hard about lou to counter disinformation especially in the context of dealing with russia. to my right, to my reed right, i have ambassador renee niberg. he is a distinguished former finnish ambassador to russia which is relevant here. and former chief executive of east consulting. he is also served as ambassador to germany for four years, actually, from 2004-2008. he also was head of finland's delegation to the ose which obviously also deals a lot with these types of issues. and then he was, of course, also finland's ambassador to austria. he has a long distinguished career. i won't list all of the other things he's done in all of the other accolades he's received. but he is well poised to help us think about how we in the united states and other countries

if any negotiation has to happen it has first of all to be sponsored by an international international community and not only by the united states then our states of america is not an objective power in what's concerning israel and palestine i have seen already how. administration and trump himself is acting on different issues he is unpredictable he is this is the least we can say he is not stable in his policy and father made a good as it is known that all the people that are working with him are on the palestinian israeli issue are very very much loyal to the israeli side if we take into consideration also the american interests in the region and how israel is serving these interests for them i am going to that's why i do not see that the united states of america especially headed by is a good news for the palestinian issue meanwhile jordan's foreign affairs minister has warned that the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital could have a negative outcome for the arab and muslim world jordan has already called an emergency meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation a

choosing to disregard international law and the international consensus given that the other fourteen members had voted in favor of that resolution he also said that the security council and international law were not the problem the problem he has said there must be. a master said that it was the problem of the actual actions of the occupying power just one other note on this story that after the decision at the u.n. there the veto from the u.s. at the ramallah the palestinian foreign minister said the palestinians will call for an emergency meeting of the u.n. general assembly following that veto. that's it for me for this news hour but sue turton will be with you in a moment with another for the day's news thanks for watching. you are making remarks where on line the u.s. response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been to criminalize or if you join us on say. other than the morning and says i want to cover the world and this is a dialogue that could be what leading to some of the confusion about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join

indefensible nine hundred sixty seventy one i care no no no way nowhere in the international agreement it is stated that israel can have jerusalem only to the south can you not mention any specific document that would proclaim internationally that jerusalem is the sole capital off israel and no nothing else listen countries work according to their national interests everybody who has eyeballs in their head knows that the jewish people have had three capitals three times and had a capital jerusalem three times in their history over the last thirty seven hundred years since one thousand nine hundred forty nine jerusalem has been the capital of israel every israeli knows that every man woman and child knows that every country that comes to visit to israel they come to jerusalem where our seat of government is located where all our government offices are located where most or government offices are located where our knesset or parliament is located so it's very clear to to to everyone inside the country and i think around the world the drew slim is the capital of israel and that's the and

challenges the nonproliferation regime and threatens international peace and security. this body has made this point for well over a decade now. the international community condemns north korea's pursuit of a nuclear arsenal and we will never accept a nuclear north korea. the dprk's unlawful backs cannot be ignored nor explained away. the dprk must be held accountable for its actions. in that regard, any notion that the source of tensions on the peninsula are the fault of no one party, there is but one party that is carried out in legal detonation of nuclear devices. there has been one party that continues to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles in violation of u.n. resolutions. threatening civil aviation security because launches are undertaking with no notification. there is but one party that has punished and with that is the kid regime in north korea -- kim regime in north korea. they are responsible for these and they alone can solve these tensions. >> i think mr. tillerson for mr.state -- i thank tillerson for a statement. i shall make concluding remarks in

as a as a major international player. well the palestinians made very clear when the vote was vetoed in the security council by the u.s. that they wanted to take it to the united nations firstly to dissuade any other nations from following the u.s. as lead and recognizing to use them as the capital of israel but also to highlight the massive divide between the u.s. and the international community on the subject the specific subject of the status of jerusalem the united nations resolutions on it very clear the resolution being debated at the moment is a reaffirmation of a number of u.n. resolutions both general assembly and security council for a long period of time i must just mention as well that in this resolution the u.s. is not mentioned by name the resolution states as did the security council resolution earlier in the week it asked member states to refrain from recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and says that any such action is null and void in terms of established united nations resolutions so certainly

therefore, international law reaches a consensus. all states careful respecting the special status of jerusalem and the historic status of the holy sites, including -- today, the united states once again misses an opportunity to go back an illegal and provocative decision. it is an opportunity to join the international community. however, its decision to ignore the dangerous custom and and the call of the international community, to respect the laws of -- which govern our world and which prevent the escalation of a conflict has offered a framework of reference for a just, peaceful solution. mr. president, the state of palestine respects the sovereignty of states so long as this sovereignty is in line with international law. however, we refuse to have this used as an excuse to violate international law and trespass on the rights of our palestinian people, which are inalienable, . we stand here today with the countries of the world, all of the world united for freedom, for justice, for peace. the veto will not stop us. he will not be t

international from the team and myself you know neil welcome to the program. in a move that's been met with worldwide condemnation the u.s. president has announced washington will officially recognize recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel donald trump also sees the american embassy will be moved from tel aviv to the ancient city which has long been contested by israel and palestine huge protests broke out across the middle east upon the news. therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. well these are pictures of how parts of the muslim world reacted to trump's this mosque demonstrations breaking out in the west bank turkey and lebanon trump is also facing a backlash from other global leaders many say the move could have terrible consequences for peace in the region. no one has the right to play with the blades over the events of people for the sake of one's own personal ambitions. nor even the polish to diminish their christian rights in jewish law to put on new fuel for the extremism and i'll
