dot com thank you for joining us is one major story we're focused on right now a vote by the united nations general assembly on whether to oppose the united states' recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital the resolution has moved to the general assembly after the u.s. vetoed it during a meeting of the security council on monday and present donald trump has been piling on the pressure ahead of the general assembly meeting threatening to cut aid to countries that vote against the us israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has also offered his thoughts this crime in the u.n. as a house of lies these are live pictures of the united nations general assembly right now at fifteen hundred g.m.t. as delegates get ready to debate and vote on this resolution an emergency session of the general assembly requested by turkey and yemen on behalf of the arab group of countries and the organization of islamic cooperation to vote on this draft resolution rejecting the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital now as we wait to listen to the speeches from the u.n. let's just take a moment to re

is cutting the united nations budget by more than a quarter of a billion dollars but why is washington squeezing the u.n. and what are the long term implications of this scott this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program how about two hundred eighty five million dollars that's the amount expected to be slashed from the u.n. operating budget next year the united states says it's negotiates have a cut to eliminate what it calls inefficiency and overspending by the organization the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley said we will no longer let the generosity of the american people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked we'll continue to look at ways to increase the u.n. ziff efficiency while protecting our interests the move comes off to a tense week for the u.n. the general assembly voted to condemn the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move its embassy of hailey responded by threatening to cut funding to the u.n. america will put our embassy in jerusalem that is what the american people want us to do and it is the right thing to do.

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley said we will no longer let the generosity of the american people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked we'll continue to look at ways to increase the u.n. is efficiency while protecting our interests the move comes after a tense week for the u.n. the general assembly voted to condemn the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move its embassy haley responded by threatening to cut funding to the u.n. . america will put our embassy in jerusalem that is what the american people want us to do and it is the right thing to do. no vote in the united nations will make any difference on that but this vote will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the un president donald trump has long been critical of the united nations almost exactly a year ago before officially taking office has waited the united nations has such a great potential but right now it's just a club for people to get together talk and have a good time so. that comment really underscores trump's d

and antagonism to the united nations to whip up support from these right wing constituencies that they are trying to build here in the united states it's a very dangerous game that they're. laying the opposition was not simply opposition to 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

another unbreakable bond that unbreakable bond of hypocrisy between the palestinians and the united nations some of cautions that the united states decision is the one sided and how full to peace the apathy it is true it is a one sided steps over the palestinians and the un at the pushed away peace for use with every enter israel revolution with every attack on my people the un has perfected its double standard. we are now sitting in an open session an emergency session of the general assembly this session has been open since nineteen ninety seven we live in a ward that is full of conflict and wall but only when it comes to israel the one true democracy in the middle east that this assembly we maintain in a constant or penn station how many times i've even reached its hand in peace since one thousand nine hundred seven. how many times have we offered the palestinians to join us in dialogue how many times have these calls for peace have been rejected all of us all of us have lost count when prime minister barak offered the palestinians a state in two thousand we were met with suicide bombers

especially when speaking about the united nations. it's interesting he rejects the outcome of the vote before it has even been ard. that is the style born of the fact that many israelis support him in this because they feel they don't get a fair hearing at the united nations. he went on to say however that it has taken americans forever asrecognize jerusalem israel's capital and it may take the united nations many more years. genie: what kind of reaction has there been from the palestinians? the israelis feel they don't get a clear -- fair hearing. what have the palestinians had to say? are they optimistic? >> it is safer ground and they are optimistic. the united nations security council vote wasare they optimi? >> moved by two of the palestinians allies. been and this vote has moved by turkey and yemen. all of the palestinian allies in the united nations are getting together to support the palestinians on this issue and they do feel supported in this forum. it's interesting the general assembly vote that we are going to see later to

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 that is that very important to publicize the aspect to it palestinians intent on showing how divided is the u.s. is from the rest of the international community but all of that being said sue we're goi

another unbreakable bond, the unbreakable bond of hypocrisy between the palestinians and the united nations. sam said the united states decision is one-sided and harmful to peace. the opposite is true. so the palestinians and the un and have pushed away peace for you. with every anti- israel and every attack on my people, the un has perfected its double standard. we are now sitting in an open session, an emergency session of the general assembly. this session has been since 1997. so democracy in the middle east the remain in a constant open position. how many times of israel wash his hands in peace since 1997. how many times have we offered the palestinians to join us in dialogue, how many times did sis calls for peace to be rejected. all of us have lost count. when the offer the palestinians estate in 2000 we met with suicide bombers with their buses with the shootings in our street. in 2005 they removed every single israeli home, you will not find any occupation in gaza anymore. sensing, we have been attacked again and again with rockets and missiles aimed at our civilians. yet, despite i

nation to choose the location of our embassy. there is no need to describe it further. instead, there is a larger point to make. the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack for the very act of exercising our right is a single nation. we'll remember we were called upon to make the largest contribution to the united nations. we will remember when many countries come calling on us as a soft and do to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. america will put our embassy in jerusalem, that is what the american people want us to do,

united states no longer stands by when israel is unfairly attacked in the united nations and the united states will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both israelis and palestinians fairly. it is no coincidence that the historic peace agreement between egypt and israel and between jordan and israel were both signed on the white house lawn. if and when there is a historic peace agreement between israelis and palestinians, there is a good likelihood that it too will be signed on the white house lawn. why is that? it is because the united states has credibility with both sides. israel will never be and should never be bullied into an agreement by the united nations or any collection of countries that have proven their disregard for israel's security. to my palestinian brothers and sisters, i can tell you with complete confidence that the united states is deeply committed to achieving a peace agreement between the israelis and the palestinians. we have demonstrated that commitment over many years and with the investment of large quantities of

clear and people that has a right of self-determination must also have a territory and a capital united nations can pass and less resolutions condemning the united states move that it's quite expected that the u.s. will veto all of them you know in general assemblies decisions are non-binding as well so does the u.n. have any political weight here can they really influence the united states or avert their decision i think in the long run this will pressure to see united states president see interests of the united states the united states is visibly isolated on that issue and if you are alone or if you'll act alone without the support of your allies and friends this will put you in a very difficult situation and in the long run at least you know be very harmful to your own interests. all right we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue disk. whether the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital will throw a wrench into the fragile middle east peace talks with christian former head of the un international law commission. financial survival guide i don'

by the united nations. and a process of negotiation has been undertaken by the different stakeholders what is the solution is to do everything to his soul. elderly indian state so there's another initiative house has the favor of france the g. five so hell. try to stop the terrorist networks are all others nicholas is a major problem of budgeting four hundred thirty three million severus needed. until now we have only one fourth on the table it is said that saudi arabia will be ready to put hundred million euros on the table. do you confirm victim ahead indeed. aside is facing very serious threats the threat of terrorism and the threat of criminal organizations both of which are linked. and in the face of these threats we have decided. at the level of the five countries in the region just to neutralize to share our resources to share our capabilities. our intelligence capabilities we decided to put in place a combined force a joint force a gfi site has. which is a security response we want to promote securi

we give the united nations 22% of just their ga budget, general assembly budget. 22%. the next, the number two country is only 9%, that's japan and then goes down from there. so, shouldn't we get a little more bang for our buck? >> well, listen, the way i look at this, i sort of-- to get a full picture i view it sort of like a donald trump tax return. i'd like to see the whole budget before i make a judgment, but when you consider we're spending about a billion or so dollars on the united nations, and we're spending $800 billion, we're going to have a huge budget for defense, this is a drop in the bucket and when you talk about the trump riling up our allies and so forth, we might end up having to spend more, it's not that much to spend. david: john, the fact is we'd all like to look at the u.n. budget. part of the problem, it's such a corrupt agency. there are so many different channels in which the money can go, nobody has a clear idea of how much. clauda rosette, the smartest person in the u.n. i know of, says the total funding is 49 billion and look where some of t

fellow the united nations general assembly has voted by a huge majority to declare the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital null and void one hundred twenty eight states voted for the non-binding resolution with just nine against and thirty five abstentions countries that sided with america to vote against the resolution were israel what amala honduras a marshall islands micronesia palau and togo well the us ambassador to the un had warned she would be taking names of states which voted against washington stance like hanna has more from the united nations in new york the two thirds majority is comfortably reach this vote to a sweeping repudiation of president trumps unilateral action in recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel the result heralded by the apparent isolation of the u.s. delegation in the chamber and the enthusiastic welcome given to the palestinians. whose foreign minister addressed the assembly and insisted that jerusalem would be the capital of a palestinian state mr merrill young we meet today not because of any animosity towards the us bu

. >>> get ready for some retribution at the united nations. that is what you are looking at as the u.n. gets ready slamming the president's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. nikki haley will be taking names and we will be taking that live later on this hour. you will not want to miss it. we'll start on the next big battle here in washington. the one over the next 18 hours or so to avoid a government shutdown. both ends of pennsylvania avenue covered and i want to start with kasie hunt over on the hill. let's talk more about the framework. sounds like crisis averted, at least for now. >> i am really hoping it doesn't take the 18 hours that you mentioned to get this resolved from the holiday perspective, but i think that also is a sentiment that is shared i'm channeling how everybody feels. to get out of here. members of congress have husbands and wives, too, and they all want them to come home for the holidays. every hour the incentives are building and the most important thing for everybody at home heading into their ow

i've been a proud representative of the united states at the united nations for nearly a year now. this first time i've exercised the american right to veto resolution in the security council. the exercise of the toe isn't something the united states has often. we haven't done it in more than six years. we do it with no joy about with no reluctance. the fact that this veto is being done in defense of american sovereignty and independence of america's role in the middle east peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us. it should be an embarrassment for the remainder of the security council. as i pointed out when we discussed the topic ten days ago, i will once again note the features of the president's announcement on jerusalem that are the most relevant. the president took great care not to prejudge final status negotiations in any way including the specific boundaries of the sovereignty in jerusalem. that remains the subject to be negotiated only by the party. the position is fully in line with the previous security council resolution. the president was also careful to st

that has not happened for years in the united nations, but it's starting to happen now. chris: now, there has been a suggestion of a resolution to criticize or condemn the president's move in the security council. of course, you would veto that, so the suggestion is perhaps it would be the u.n. general assembly that would pass a resolution. what would the u.s. reaction be to that? >> oh, i would have a strong reaction to that. we have the right to do whatever we want in terms this terms whet our -- in terms of where we put our embassies. and, you know, what i have always said is if we are honest, if we tell the truth, that's when peace comes p. this was the president telling the world the truth. and this was him going through with the will of the american people who had asked for 22 years to get this done. and he had the courage to show it, and i think a lot of americans have a huge sigh of relief because of it and now, hopefully, we can see peace process really come together. chris: i want to change trouble spots in the world on you which is part of your job because at

united nations ambassador nikki haley said the u.s. would move its embassy to jerusalem regardless of how the general assembly vote turned out she also made it clear that trumps america first message also applied when it came to us financial support for the world body and its members is being. the united states government is answerable to its people as such we have an obligation to acknowledge when our political and financial capital is being poorly spent. we have an obligation to demand more foreign investment and if our investment fails we have an obligation to spend our resources in more productive ways. behind her words a threat to cut financial assistance to countries that vote against the u.s. in the general assembly only nine out of the one hundred ninety three member states sided with washington but there were thirty five abstentions and others didn't vote at all germany was among the one hundred twenty eight states that backed the resolution a lower number than its supporters had hoped for soon after the vote the u.s. warned t

macsali-urbin: well eleanor , roosevelt became a delegate to the united nations because once she lefthe white house, president truman decided that he wanted to do something that fdr had always planned on doing, which was to establish a united nations in the hope that an organization like that would prevent future wars. both franklin and eleanor roosevelt had lived through two major wars, world war i and world war ii, and they wanted the future to be a peaceful one. president truman felt that eleanor roosevelt would be the perfect person to represent the united states at the organizing meeting of the united nations. she was actually the only woman delegate from the u.s. and she knew that none of the men were too happy to have her as a member of that delegation. she figured that they were trying to find a spot for her to do the least damage, because as she said, they thought she didn't have the qualifications to be a good delegate. so they put her on a committee called committee three, which was going to work on more social kinds of programs. and that would end up being the most importa

the united nations general assembly has decisively back to a resolution that declares the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital void one hundred twenty eight states voted for the non-binding resolution against and thirty five abstentions us president donald trump had threatened to cut financial aid to countries that backed the resolution. the red cross says the number of suspected cholera cases in yemen has reached a million more than two thousand people have died from the highly contagious infection since the outbreak began in april. the united nations says at least sixteen people have died while waiting for a medical about evacuation and serving as the siege to eastern go to reach and the head of the un's humanitarian task force for serious as they'll be more deaths unless the government stops blocking efforts to bring medical aid to the area. warring factions in south sudan have agreed to a ceasefire the truce has set up again on sunday following days of talks of ethiopia the u.n. tribunal for the former yugoslavia has come to an end a ceremony was held in the ha

at the united nations. the general assembly preparing to vote that condemns president trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. first in the security counsel and now in the full general assembly, critics accuse the white house in taking sides in a dispute that has been central to the conflict. nikki haley insists that's not the case, but also said this is bigger than that. she said believe votes with the clear goal of whacking the united states, whatever the issue will have consequences. >> the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. we will remember it when we were called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations and we will remember when so many countries come calling on us as they so often do to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. >> ambassador haley's remarks come a day after president trump suggested nat

nation to choose the location of our embassy. there is no need to describe it further. instead, there is a larger point to make. the united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. we will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the united nations. and we will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. america will put our embassy in jerusalem. that is what the american people want us to do, and it is the right thing to do. no vote in the united nations will make any difference on that. but this vote will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the un. and this vote will be remembered. thank you. >> i thank the representative of united states. i give the floor to the representative of israel. >> thank you, mr. president. it is shameful for the united states that i must stand -- for the united nations tha

the united nations gets even tough on north korea imposing fresh sanctions on the country the security council agrees to measures proposed by the united states they aim to limit supplies go young lives for its nuclear program. and the palestinian christian minority gears up to celebrate christmas but the mood is far from festive after president trump's decision to jerusalem the capital of israel. welcome to the program we start in the philippines where more than one hundred people are dead after a tropical storm brought devastation to the a to the south of the country some officials put the death toll even highest saying two hundred had perished rescue operations are underway to try and find dozens mall who are still missing tembin is a second deadly storm to hit the country this week it swept over the south an island of mindanao leaving destruction in its wake. this man and child and lucky to be alive. the effects of mudslides and flooding have been devastating. entire villages under meters of water. others swept away. volunteers have been digging through mud to try to recover bodies

the united nations. billion dollars to help victims of conflicts and humanitarian crises around the world yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis with more than twenty two million people. have been killed and. carried out. those are the headlines stay with us. is coming up.

you know because the very purpose of contributing to the united nations is not to you know use it as a platform to bully and threaten other nations and to extract uni directional benefits from it but rather to engage in global diplomacy with a resolution of global conflicts and an issue such as the problems of sustainable development and so on and for ambassador haley to claim that there's going to be a you know monetary value. is just misreading the very notion intention and purpose of the united nations and membership in it unfortunately there will be a b. c. un culture of peace and. tolerance and dialogue is missing in the minds ward of haiti. we could discuss this for ages but. management very much for coming on to the program. with a christmas. on the wish list. we wish the breaks of never happened and that she was never promoted to prime minister. probably. is still to be her weekend. you're. probably a better way to deal with baby north korea in some way a. drinking straw. i guess he's always going to need. to go to spice. just bring out all the cliche that. he's pretty happy.

seven and then bring security and stability to both israelis and palestinians mr president the united nations remains strongly committed to supporting all efforts towards a negotiated two state solution this is the only way to achieve the legitimate national aspirations of both israelis and palestinians this point has been clearly reaffirmed by secretary general who cares and i stress again his work there is no plan b. for the two state solution listing in an israeli leaders but also the international community have an important responsibility toward bombs peace efforts to the sense only through constructive dialogue can we hope to achieve peace and i call all parties to remain engaged. mr president today we stand at another critical moment in the long running history of this conflict where yet we are yet to see if the prospects of peace can be preserved and abbas it is up to all of us and the international community just as much it is up to israeli and palestinian leaders to urgently advance a just and lasting resolution of this conflict the secretary general has been clear that realizing a

it see east jerusalem has been occupied city according to international law according to the united nations security council resolution which the united states is part of the united nations security council so all in all the reality is is pakistan remains occupied east jerusalem remains occupied but we have an american president who is willingly repeating after his client's words and cliches and misinformation and bad interpretation of history. not exactly in the service of american interests rather the contrary argue that the consequences of this on the long term for the united states in the middle east in the wider middle east it's going to be disastrous america just opened the gates of hell if not in the short term on the long term in the muslim world because this is if anything a declaration of war against the palestinian people and their rights in their homelands one senior political analyst for the moment thank you let's go back to the united nations now and speak out to mike hanna mike before i had to leave you because we got prime minister netanyahu speech we're talking about just h

you're watching the latest headlines here totty international thank you for joining us now the united nations general assembly hearing is under way discussing the move to condemn america's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital announced by donald trump two weeks ago let's listen to israel's ambassador how many times. for the palestinians to join us in dialogue how many times over these calls for peace have been rejected all of us. all of us have lost ground. when i mean. offered the palestinians a state in two thousand we were met with suicide bombers or our buses in the shootings in our streets in two thousand and five by mr sharon disengaged from gaza removed everything go israeli home you will not find any thetan meant any occupation in gaza anymore since then we have been attacked again and again with the walkouts and missiles aimed at our civilians yet this body was silent. the united states simply stated a fact they officially declared what i've always been through jerusalem have been and always will be the capital of the state of israel. those. two days with pollution i like pup

who saw undiplomatic and for into the spirit of the united nations. a saudi coalition as strike has hit a busy market in yemen killing at least forty people and just a warning the falling victim does contain disturbing images dozens more civilians were wounded in the bombing range in the west of the country many of the victims are children saudi arabian horses international intervention in the amman back in march twenty fifth to support the government against little rebels the campaign has claimed thousands of lives. daoud chiral a professor of international law at georgetown university believes the u.s. government should end its support for the saudi military campaign in yemen are crimes are being committed against defenseless. people. market absolutely unconscionable washington should be. very small responsibility than other countries why because it is so close to saudi arabia because it is the fault of weapons that are rules in yemen and because it can go much more. than i think what the other part that i really would blame is the media internation

i have been the proud representative of the united states at the united nations for nearly one year now. this is the first time i have exercised the american right to veto a resolution in the security council. the exercise of the veto is not something the united states does often. we have not done it in more than six years. we do it with no joy but we do it with no reluctance. the fact that this veto is being done in defense of american sovereignty and in defense of america's role in the middle east, peace process, is not a source of embarrassment for us. it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the security council. as i pointed out when we discuss this topic ten days ago i will once again note the features of the president's announcement on jerusalem that are most relevant here. the president took great care not to prejudge final status negotiations in any way, including the specific boundary of israeli sovereignty in jerusalem. that remains a subject to be negotiated only by the parties. the position is fully in line with the previous security council resolution. the preside

spokesperson to the mission of the united nations. e served as a mideast policy adviser at the national security council and the presidential department. those are fighting words. there is often no love lost between the united states and the united nations, but this takes it to a whole other level. >> yes, and her entire statement and trump statement before is all about focusing on those who are going to go against us, are not going to support our policy, are not going to receive our aid. it's bombastic rhetoric that doesn't achieve any goals, certainly not our own objectives. if they do follow with that threat, it would be like shooting ourselves in the foot. >> all allies of the united states will vote in a way that is not in u.s. interest today. we are not in a position to shed those people as allies because we depend on them insofar as they can do it for some stability in the middle east. >> right, and you know, to tell you the truth, i understand our administration being unapologetic about its goals. >> that part of the statement,

do you believe it's time to stop handing taxpayer dollars to the leftist united nations that dispre-respectsca? 98% of you said yes. joining us, pastor robert jeffress. pastor of the united methodist church in dallas. you addressed this at the white house. what occurred. >> president trump was gracious enough to ask me to close the evening saying a few words in prayer. and i thanked the president for his accomplishments this past year, including having the guts to do what no other american president has done, recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. that's what people don't understand. when it comes to history. history is on the side of the jewish people, not on the side of the palestinians or muslims. jerusalem was first established as the capital of israel in 1,000 bc. that is 1,100 words before the word palestinian was even invented by the roman emperor hadrian. gregg: not that we care how the united nations voted. is anti-semitism behind some of those votes to oppose jerusalem as the capital? >> yes. this vote proves the united nations is overwhelmingly anti-i anti- -- antisemitic.

this is d w news live from bergland the united nations gets set to weigh in that is after the united states threatens to cut funding to countries that support a motion condemning its decision to recognize to lucilla as israel's capital the emergency session is underway at the u.n. we have got expert analysis coming right up. also catalonia as crucial election leaders of the main regional parties have cast their ballots in a boat that is testing the region's appetite for independence and no evidence of links to terror groups police say that a driver intentionally crashed his car and to pedestrians at melbourne but his motive means unclear. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us the united nations general assembly is holding an emergency session prompted by u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize to roost as israel's capital the one hundred ninety three member states are set to vote on a draft resolution reaffirming that you who celeb status must be resolved through negotiation. now yesterday trying to threaten to cut funding to countries that fact the

takes lightly the decisions and belittles decision there is allusions of the united nations. and it shows that they can break and to national law and impose opinion by force which is a new and you don't mention of abusing and kill national law. also everyone who has been pleased and a celebrated this decision and thinks that israel. day israel is going to have negotiation from new reality no. jerusalem is the capital of palestine israel is. the occupying power and any decision from them or from america will not change anything in palestine that is consistent of. the quest the bank and east jerusalem as the capital in accordance with the international resolutions and the human rights of the palestinians are not negotiable and these are. legal and political rights in the cold us with international law and consensus of the international community a message the president trumps illegal decision to recognize the judicial him as the capital and that embassy this decision. or promise will have no consequences in the subject of the palestinian occupied land all the palestinian people'
