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.

it is right on the border, raising all sorts of questions about how the united states should begin tossert its newfound power. lora: jennifer, could you tell us a little more about the state of the armed forces in 1914? dr. keene: i want to first say that i am from california, so i am neutral in this misery debate -- missouri debate. [laughter] a lot like wilson is neutral in 1914. i think it is important to understand the state of the american military and 19 four teen in part to understand -- 1914 in part to understand his neutrality and how the american geopolitical situation had changed as a result of the spanish-american war. when we think about the army and the navy that america had, it has the army and the navy that the kind ofhandle responsibilities it envisioned having as a result of this transformative moment at the turn-of-the-century. we needed an army that could guard the border with mexico, that could undertake some sort of police action in the caribbean, that could occasionally be used in domestic disputes. we had a navy that was primarily focused on the pacific in term

which brings together officials and businessmen in the regions of the russian far east and the united states west coast. the state of california is among the leaders of the bilateral interregional cooperation. over the past years it has established contact with republican because extend -- of kazakstraan. this is mostly due to the state's current leadership, governor jerry brown, who in september posted the economic forum in vladivostok to get acquainted with the potential of russia and the far east. a bilateral for initiating political and business circles taking place in united states and now with russia, as well as place increasing role in developing ties between the regions of russia and the united states. it has proven itself to be an important and formal platform for dialogue and development over positive bilateral agenda which are countries desperately need. in conclusion, i would like to remind you that this december -- marks theth 210th anniversary of diplomatic ties between russia and the united dates. 1787, thomas jefferson wrote to the russian emperor alexander i. russia is theha

that's analogous to what's happening the united states and this best case scenario here in the united states has fifty odd sites with communities schools that i looked at that are a mile from burnside it's also similarly being exposed to these clouds of toxins and you know there's a long fight to bring attention to the issues of the burn pits overseas there's been no fight to do this similar so you know take any sort of action here in the united states no measurement of what is in the pollution that's you know dead. that's touching the school grounds or the residential areas around these bases no statement from the department defense or my reporting that that was worthwhile or something that they should do and really i mean and that's with laws that are supposed to limit this and promise that it's not and say so i'm glad that you mentioned the really lack of some might say accountability others might say recognition i do want to share this because as we mentioned the department of veterans affairs declined to join our show today but this is what it says on their website at this time r

favorable ratings in the united states if he once again becomes the champion of the united states and show how so many of those muslims around the world hate the united states for taking a position like he did in terms of jerusalem becoming the capital of israel i think he will live on the idea that we need to fight terror we need to find extremism and we need to find those who hate america around the world who did such a decision unites muslim leaders around the world could it unite countries like turkey and saudi arabia that have had somewhat tense relations in recent years i'm still waiting for you to ask me about the about the about the cons right right and that's exactly what the council is because look you might gain certain leverage you might gain a certain popularity it might be politically savvy in washington for president trump but in the long. on the long term if not on the short term this will have bizarre strips consequences for the united states around the world for a good number of reasons but i will summarize them in three one the united states cannot be trusted. why b

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

to the news the united states ambassador to the u.n. has vetoed a draft resolution rejecting donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel all fourteen other voted for the resolution join me live on the line is caleb open our correspondent. who's been following events from his base in new york tell us more than about the security council meeting how did the vote unfold and how did they talk about it afterwards. well the fifteen member body that leads the united nations was assembled now the meeting was called by egypt that point forward a resolution and this resolution was essentially intended to kind of give voice and give legitimacy to all the outrage that has taken place in response to the i now incident from donald trump that the united states is moving the u.s. embassy of in israel to jerusalem and recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital now there have been protests all across the world ever sense that there's been a big meeting of muslim countries around the world condemning that decision now so the the

or rely on the united states either for their own security and survival or rely on the united states in terms of conflicts that they themselves are waging either amongst themselves or against other states and in that context i don't think they're going to privilege anything concerning the palestinians over the their bilateral relations with with the united states and i think you know nevertheless it's it's not meaningless that at a time when arab states and governments are so divided over the various conflicts in the region syria yemen libya and so on that they could at least. not be divided by the palestine question as well that's not meaningless but under the circumstances it's certainly not particularly significant either you now have what might be called an incipient rebellion in the occupied territories that needs concrete support and assistance and none of that has been forthcoming either from the arab league or from the organization of the islamic conference similarly these states could for example have put in provisions to make their own relations with third parties whe

i would like to point out, as president of the united states, we have to remember that the united states itself has such an important relationship with this country in terms of keeping us safe as well. before we rush to make those urge alli would honorable members to keep that in mind. i hope he has heard this morning tout how seriously we take make sure all is illegal and extreme content is taken down from twitter and other online platforms and that they take more of an active role themselves in making sure this material does not stay up there. attempt, the -- sought to organize a march. nine people showed up, but that is nine to many. there is still work to do to make sure that the views of bdl and britain first do not represent this country and disabuse those who hold those views and do more. >> absolutely right. they in no way represent the views of the british people as he and i and the rest of the honorable members know them to be. as has been pointed out in the house today, the real danger of encouraging activity and extremism is increasingly online and that is where we are focusi

well the united states should not. act by oppression and coercion on other states i think is it's there's not a fan's this is not compatible this he sovereign equality of stays states must be able to all pronounce themselves freely in the general assembly of the united nations and take said decisions freely without i outside hindrance i think and if president trump takes it personally is this an altar parameter because it's not a personal matter between him and the palestinians he's a president of the united states and he should take care of the interests of the united states and also of israel i think we also have to take care of see long term interests of the jewish people who have an interest in peace and stability in the middle east how unprecedented is this move by haley sending a memo to one hundred eighty countries basically instructing them how to vote does this happen knowledge time in today's united nations well you know you can always has a head of state you can always suggest stars or countries that they sho

of the fifteen member security council speak up and criticize the trumpet ministration in the united states for their decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and under rule thirty seven of the united nations both israel and palestine have a right to speak because this resolution that was just voted on is directly related to them so the u.n. security council meeting continues we're hearing from various countries in the u.n. security council as well as the representatives of both israel and palestine who want to directly speak to the resolution but the vote was taken fourteen to one the usa stood alone however they were able to veto this resolution as a permanent member of the fifteen member u.n. security council so the vote completed but the vitriol continues and many of the members expressing the discontent with the veto so the discussions continue that the security council many thanks kelly morgan bring is up to date. now the move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel continues to cause wide scale anger across the middle east. listing and have been involved in protests and

lead to a united states of europe. delegates voted on thursday for coalition talks with merkel's conservatives will start next week after more than two months since germany's elections to w.'s thomas sparrow spoke exclusively with martin shields and asked him if that wasn't a bit too we'll. many countries in europe and indeed around the world are looking at germany and wondering when there will be a formal government and now the social democrats have agreed on a procedure that could take weeks if not months can't germany afford to be so long without a government there is first of all a government in office by the way. composed by the christian democrats and the social democrats that are going to america less chance to see my god where this first chancellor saw germany for the time being as a rule by a next thing government and therefore the government has a parliamentarian majority we have no need to speed up especially looking to the fact that the so-called john mica allies crèche completely with the negotiations. the

probably the most colorful president in united states history. i said probably, i think we can state almost objectively the most colorful president in u.s. history, a giant of a figure, tall. he stood at 6'1", very tall for that day and age. 6'1", skinny, bushy eyebrows, hair brushed high above a very large forehead with piercing blue eyes. look at those eyes. jackson was a hot tempered man. he was a bit stubborn. and oftentimes bull headed. he had strong convictions. and he knew when he was opposed to something he stood up to that system. well, he had a few nicknames, in fact, as well, andrew jackson. he went by the name old hickory, tough as old hickory wood. his second nickname, you won't believe this, shark knife. who has a nickname like shark knife, andrew jackson has a nickname like shark knife. what's andrew jackson's story, he was born in 1767 in whacksaw, north carolina. he was born and his parents died at a very early age, he was an orphan, raised with no parental restraints. as a young boy he got into brawls and fights. he wasn't all th

ambassador to the united nations who talked about being the united states being the largest contributor to the united nations well let's bring in mike hanna who is being knighted nations for the new york on this particular point nikki haley out of a letter she wrote saying everybody that was going to vote for this resolution would be noted really underlining the point again with the speech she's just given them on. yes indeed and she also underlined her opinion that what was at stake is the very issue of us suffered as she put it saying that the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel is the sovereign right of the united states she also declared it as an insult once again that this vote is taking place just as she described the security council vote earlier this week fourteen to one prevented by the u.s. veto as an insult she also reiterated her mantra that we shall remember that veiled threat that she has a primate in a letter to all members the three that president trump made publicly saying that they would consider the u.s. would consider financing their areas c

it even starts in united states. military of the french mission reports back and says they are misusing us here. they only want technical skills. the idea of how to maneuver units in battle and incorporating all the weapons, the americans are saying we will figure it out. it is interesting that the american soldier stays with the idea, i will get whatever i can from the french. he does have a couple of moments of crisis -- one comes with the risk treat from chateau thierry. a couple of american soldiers said what is going on. this is the french, these are the great art -- this is the great army that held the germans at for done and now i am seeing -- held the germans at verdun and now i am seeing them are treating in droves. when the american army gets into of the summer of 1918, there are is some irritation that the french are leaving them out to dry. they are using the americans to spearhead the nastiest parts of the operation while the more prudent french soldiers stood behind. that will happen with the french 17th

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 govern

meanwhile, the back of the united states finally healed and defeated. wound down its business. procured a new charter from the state of pennsylvania and continued as a state bank after 1836. within a few year, it got involved with speculations that went bad and closed its doors, bankrupt and disgraced. what do we make of this? i know you were thinking what's the point. here's the point. some historians and especially economists, take a kind of instrumentalist approach to history and they fault jackson severely r for his actions in the bank war. they defend it as a modern style bank. they charge that jackson had no decent replacement and blame his use of state banks, which is where jackson put the money after it was taken out. blamed that for triggering a boom that ended with a crash, the so-called panic of 1837 that inturn ushered in a deep depression that lasted through the end of the 1830s and 1840s. all of this because they said of jackson's war on the bank. now all of these propositions can be and have been disputed. the bank was not constructed like a modern bank. it's not

make it away from this they may split china away from the united states they may split the united states away from china and continue to be at the strategic and tactical successes they have accumulated i think time is passing out and the tipping point is getting very close but china and the united states really need to get down to the same page get into the same bolt in how to come up with a clear cut a strategy and tactic in achieving this goal every two countries have to see eye to eye on this major issue richard just come back to you for a brief second if there is an overarching principle here of diluting all the issues and getting everyone into the same place on to the same page surely mr trump did not do the best thing by putting north korea on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. ok i just want to actually come back to your question to victor i thought it was really fundamental i think that was the basis of the u.s. strategy so far the assumption that at some point the chinese would recognize it was in their interest to have a unified korea or a korea with a different type of r

the world to see byron munich and maybe not as much to see the german national team here in the united states if you're going to travel around the world to watch you know one of your teams it's got to be the national team because you're not seeing d.c. united or the l.a. galaxy on the world stage as a club so do you think fans from other countries and particularly the ones that are quote soccer mad make up for the lost of the u.s. tourists are almost certainly not right if you think about the sort of teams who are going to come from this region of the world instead of the united states that's going to be a coast to reka it's going to be a honduras it's going to have an amount of much much smaller countries in the united states certainly won't do anything to make up for the maybe fifty thousand u.s. soccer fans that might have normally been expected to go over to russia what about the businesses that try to profit from the world cup for example these an ounce to amping up point of sale terminals to accept digital payments made their phones or even smart watches during the event are they going

i think a distinguished representative of the united states i now give the floor to the distinguished or present that if of is a road. thank you mr president if you've shameful for the united nations that they must stand before you today if you shameful that this meeting is even taking place. you the holiest place on earth for the jewish people if you the capital of the date of evil period if you the fact that simply cannot be disputed king david had declared the jews a limb the theory of the jewish people three thousand you ago the jewish bible mentions jew the limb big hundred fifty times. our prayer was we call jerusalem holy name over and over again as our prime minister the first prime minister that we'd been going on said and i quote jerusalem is an inseparable part of the history of even though over the face of israel i am holding an original coin it from sixty seven a.d. it says in hebrew and i quote free don't overvalue on look in the envelope in front of you you will see you have a replica of the coin it is clear evidence from the time of our second temple it proves their an

the united states may be able to utilize with joint r&d. it may also help with the promotion of the joint r&d and to satisfy their relationship and of the need to help create more opportunities. so far, we have this approach in the joint r&d and in this slide i listed some specifics of the technology that can be considered a. of the autonomous situation, cyber technology on machine learning and so on. i believe these technologies could be on the agenda between the two countries. in conclusion they are recommended to overcome the budget constraints and orchids. there is a potential of growing technological power among the developing countries and in this context a very moment in the opportunities for the usa in the future. this is the end of my presentation. thank you. [applause] i want to give you an opportunity. we heard a lot about the strategic imperative for the cooperation between the republic of korea and the united states, and we also heard about are somf the opportunities that are there and some of the barriers and complications tha

for the united states it's all about north korea, i'm told. for china, it's all about keeping the united states at bay, reducing the u.s. presence, especially military presence, in that area. does that ring true to you? >> i do think that the chinese have made clear that they do not want to have an overwhelming american presence, and they don't like the fact that the south koreans are wanting to deploy a defense mechanism, or that we do joint exercises with the south koreans, or that americans are in south korea. but they are much more interested in having a larger influential role in that part of asia, but it doesn't mean that we are totally talking past each other. i do think we do have different interests, and as you know, there are many times we do cooperate with countries that have a slightly different interest, and you do try to get others involved in state craft to try to get some solution to a difficult problem, and the chinese are part of it. i think part of it, christiane, is that they believe that all we want to see is a collapse of

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

and the united states.nafta, that will dissipate, no question. old -- we are concerned about a of the strong relationship built over the last 25 years between canada -- mexico and the united states. a broader point here, what is the message to the rest of old -- the rest of the world? cannot geted states along with her two neighbors, mexico and canada, and they have to destroy a create -- a trade agreement, which has done tremendous positive results for all three countries, if they cannot get together with her two neighbors, how will they get together with other countries and other parts of the world? carla made the point a little earlier on a trade agreement with another country, how can you count on the united states? so there is that. the third point i would make is on order management. i was ambassador, after 9/11, a real challenge we had was order management. if there is a breakdown in attitudes toward managing the border in the positive way, we are going to get affected in canada almost as much as it

have to reconsider whether we have used all necessary nonmilitary means. >> what do you think the united states and the west should be doing? and do you think that the u.s. is actually planning military measures against north korea? >> oh, at this moment, i think the mood for a possibility of military action is very high, and north korea is going to provoke any moment, any soon, and so that's why i think it is very important to avoid any possible nuclear conflict on korean peninsula. >> well, absolutely. that would be the worst possible development in the history of mankind. so, what do you think the u.s., the west should be doing? >> i think, first of all, the u.s. and the west should continue the current momentum of maximum pressure and sanctions but, on the meanwhile, the west and the u.s. try every possibility to open the dialogue with north korea, you know, to tell the north korea that they would be destroyed if they continue the current foreign directions. >> now, obviously, president trump has said that -- so has secretary mattis. they've said that publicly. do you believe president trum

other states might follow all the example of the united states if it's a good example of course. states should follow the american example but if it's a bad example they should really keep the rules of international law it which are fairly clear east jerusalem in particular is not part of the israeli territory it is under international terrorist action. the interview committee has decided to pursue a stimulus however right of self-determination this is very 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 but 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 s

specifically called for maintaining the status quo at the holy site finally and critically the united states is not predetermining final status issues we remain committed to achieving a lasting peace agreement so nikki haley continued to emphasize in her remarks that the usa is committed to a two state solution and as she spoke she reiterated the words of u.s. president donald trump who made the announcement earlier in washington d.c. this is u.s. president. therefore i have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel now at this point nikki haley and others nikki haley she stood alone at the u.n. and emphasized defense of the u.s.a.'s position supporting jerusalem recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and argued in her remarks that she believed peace and stability was indeed achievable however we've seen huge backlash in response to this announcement clashes have taken place there been calls for breaking of relations with the united states protests across the west bank many developments are taking place this decision is certainly causing a

it is one of them, conspiracy against the united states. basically the united states. the second is banking. defrauding u.s. banking. the other is money-laundering. the fourth is -- it will come back to me. there are -- experts say if the judge counts every transaction, it could be really long. which is how these things go. we are looking at more than a century of jail sentence. all of this are allegations of ourse. the police and prosecutors launched those investigations also dismissed them. here, 20 months later we have seen dozens of trials, conferences and hearings but we have not so far had a committed person. these are allegations. >> he alluded to the back story of this and reza zarrab's arrest in turkey. can you talk about the concept of that? > the case of reza zarrab is if you are in turkey or the united states you are living on different planets in many ways. what you interpret when you see the case, the details, they are different. it is an issue of trust at the end of the day and the complete lack of trust, and deep suspicion that exists mainly from turkey

relinquish its occupation of the palestinian territories and the second is the extreme bias of the united states towards israel in a situation where it has claimed exclusive supervision of israeli palestinian diplomacy and aaron david miller for example a longstanding american peace process or has stated that one of the you know the main problem was that the united states behaves not as an honest broker or even as a mediator but as israel's lawyer when it comes to israeli palestinian negotiations so to say that the solution is to take even more radical pro israel and that this will somehow promote israeli palestinian peace and . basically categorically dismissing palestinian rights and interests is somehow going to help us move forward i think is you know it may it may sound nice to trump's domestic constituencies but in the real world of the middle east it's it's not only not going to promote peace but it's certainly going to make it that much more difficult to address the issue of ending israeli occupation and therefore finding a pathway towards peaceful israeli palestinian coexistence would y

first, the involvement of the united states and the war with the united states. when we think of america's relationship with the first world war as being from 1917 to 1918, we are missing the main point. united states was deeply involved in this war in a variety of ways. much earlier than american entry in 1917. the other thing this poster is attempting to get across is it is part of the movement that began -- that was known as prepared ms. p but the united states should or should not do to change its own society. to change its way of thinking. in response to events with -- that were going on in europe. the question of how the united states interacted with the first world war before entry is something we have a lot of wisdom on,l half-baked ideas, but not really a lot of solid research. the book i worked on, path to war, was an attempt to do this. to understand how a large, diverse, complicated society, like the united states, was responding to the events in europe and how that response condition that only american howy in the war, but americans responded to what

it is not the constitution of the united states. judge paez as you were saying earlier to my colleague on the other side, 1182 itself, his argument would allow the wrecking ball to line item veto any provision in 1182. congress is thought with a fine-grained ten-part reticklating test about excluding people with terrorism. and it hasn't done this drag net which he has engaged in. >> will ever you shift off this. trying to understand how the statute works or should work, and even acknowledging what we said before, if you just stand back and look at it for a moment. to what extent should the court or how deeply should the court dive into trying to criticize or look at the court, at the president's findings? >> so first he's got to make one that's relevant. >> right, right. >> so that, i do think, is, you know, has got to be the eleven -- >> in your view that finding is individual "a" came into the country through the prior system and committed a bad act. >> well, it doesn't even have to be -- >> absent that is it your argument he can'

let me let me ask you how is the answer the president was very adamant in his speech that the united states he supports the two state solution and that he is still pushing for peace between the palestinians in the israelis and he also did not mention once that any parameters around the city of jerusalem are changing so how can you say that he's disqualified himself because it sounds like nothing's going to change. allow me to correct you he never said that he supported. that but at least palestinians and israelis support to see a solution he would be willing to support us so he's also going away from my story because u.s. position what he said today was to recognize jerusalem as the capital of history does not recognize west so then he recognized jerusalem this is an encouragement for settlement expansion i don't know if you have seen how many palestinian homes have been demolished occupy gypsum over the past few weeks over the past sixty years of occupation and therefore once again this is step is going to the illegal israeli actions and something or anywhere closer to peace. i want to pla

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

i think in this way china and the united states will be better to coordinate their actions on the d.p. r. k. nuclear weapon question but also on other major issues in the world involving major international issues but also major pilots are all issues between china and the united states richard waits in washington there are military exercises planned for just around the corner if those military exercises were canceled or delayed would that help because you then give you then give a signal surely to pyongyang that china is not going to wobble because pyongyang needs to know that that security aspect is there and arguably the south koreans would be happy as well the idea i can't tell when these exercises is something that originally it was proposed by tying are and it's now been picked up by the russians and the idea is you have this freeze for three is the sanctions for a suspension so north korea starts testing us or start testing nuclear weapons in the united states and korea stop. major military exercises and possibly put constraints on the missile defenses and then coordinat

you cannot expect the united states to give money to these countries who then work against them a vote against them in a way that's understandable and that's a sentiment which is quite popular here in the united states i guess but this is not how it works i mean turkey has already said that it cannot be bolts and basically what trump said is working against the pride of of many countries so this is playing to his domestic audience and donald trump doesn't really care if this does any damage to the united states' position on the world stage ok and just to remind our viewers live pictures coming in there from the united nations there in new york where delegates and ambassadors are gathering in order to vote on a motion rejecting the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital carson phenomena reporting live from washington with the very latest thank you. a quick reminder now the top stories that have been following for you here in voting is underway in catalonia a special election for a new regional parliament separatist parties hope that the polls will strengthen their bid

by trying to boycott in sanction the united states. who gives them more. 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 a

the united states is behind united nation's air. they have evaluated it, they're way ahead of us. strategicns made it a priority. even the chinese are building icebreaking tankers. why are they building icebreaking takers? they see the value of these passages. .e see the value of these we have one icebreaking tanker today. the army is very proud of it as crummy as it is. i know there is money in the budget to build another icebreaker. at the whole arctic region, because of what has happened with the opening of the arctic passageways from an economic and traits standpoint, but certainly from national security standpoint, is vitally important to our interest. so our engagement through just not the arctic town so but through other mechanisms is important in working with arctic countries on international norms, what will the rules of the game be because these are areas that have not been addressed in the past so, very important. >> time is up but i was going to ask you what you want your legacy to be but listening to you, i do not know that that question is really answered yet. you ar

and against its decision to move the embassy to jerusalem this is a condemnation of the united states by the international community in big numbers we also discussed the herring with former un special rapporteur on human rights john doe guard he believes such open pressure on member states to sway their vote is unprecedented. digital expectation was. about one hundred fifty states would go to the resolution this really shows that the streets made by the us administration did have some growth in restrictor of the votes and it was the. should i think there are two issues here one of course concerns the status of jerusalem i think we are now are inching a new era in which a major. resort to blackmail and broad green order to secure votes in the general assembly. obviously in most cases try to bring pressure used in a pretty subtle manner or in states to support a particular position but this is the first occasion on which a state a major member of the security council has resorted to sochi measures i do think. it's united states were to carry through and through it's of this kind because
