Jerusalem as israels capital. Hello im Barbara Starr youre watching out for live from london were going to have the latest on that story from the u. S. To jerusalem and around the world because there has been global of turkeys president and the king of jordan warning that the move will fuel extremism in other news russias president Vladimir Putin says hell seek another term as president in next years election and tens of thousands of homes are under threat as wildfires rage in Southern California. In an hours time the u. S. President is due to announces highly controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital and move the American Embassy there from tel aviv in the last few minutes donald trump a said the embassy moved to jerusalem is quote long overdue you will palestinian leaders in the occupied west bank in gaza are calling for three days of rage World Leaders a voice their concerns with many warning trumpet against the move the status of jerusalem is central to the middle east Peace Process of though its been left on resolved in years of negotiations israel claims the whole city has its capital but this is never been recognized by any major player internationally until now harry force it is in occupied East Jerusalem and sent this this report. For palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem the sudden arrival of winter on wednesday matched the news that the u. S. President was set to recognize the city as israels capital. This is an insane move that will inflame the whole region because hes attacking all of our values our sacred place and our humanity back in jerusalem according to un resolutions as the capital of two states if he does this today he will destroy the Peace Process that america is sponsoring while some of his colleagues have been publicly welcoming the move israels Prime Minister steered clear of the topic during a speech to foreign diplomats in jerusalem making only this oblique reference in a video for his Facebook Page as he drove away as our Historical National identity is receiving important expressions every day but particularly today thats moving the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv was a Campaign Promise to important trunk financial donors such as Las Vegas Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson as well as trumps core right wing evangelical base President Trump needs them more than ever as his popularity ratings plummet jerusalem will remain the capital. Trump is certainly not the first to make such promises on the campaign trail but he will be the first to translate them into potentially hugely consequential action before his speech trump briefed arab leaders which led to this question at the state department briefing. If im wondering if you can say that there hes gotten the support of anyone for any decision that he might make so again im not going to characterize those conversations minutes later the White House Press secretary was similarly coolly about the decision. No again he spoke with five leaders thats hardly indicative of everybody across the globe. Israeli mayor of jerusalem said the embassy move could take two minutes by switching the sign on the current u. S. Consulate in west jerusalem white house staff who didnt want to be named later said that was not going to happen building a new embassy would take at least three to four years we also said that President Trump was simply affirming what they called reality both historical and modern that connected the state of israel to the city they argued issues of sovereignty would not change and said that not moving the embassy twenty two years after it was required by congress in one thousand nine hundred five had made any difference to the Peace Process the trumpet ministration remains committed to a two state solution they said if thats what both parties wanted us officials have been trying to convey to reporters in washington that the phrasing of Donald Trumps speech will be all important even after this declaration allowing for final status negotiations to settle the question of exactly how jerusalem might be shared in a two state solution but as far as palestinian officials are concerned this really does mean an end to the Peace Process with the United States as its chief broker there saying that it would scupper the peace plan offered by donald trump even before its unveiling for the United States has definitively chosen sides are a force that aljazeera occupied East Jerusalem. Well its get reaction from our correspondents in a moment were going to speak to whether ben honeyed who is in the palestinian city of ramallah in the occupied west bank first though lets go straight to the white house where we can speak the Kimberly Halkett so in the past few minutes Kimberly Donald trump has said that the embassy moved to jerusalem is long over due in that report weve just seen from harry force that we saw barack obama already talking in years ago about an undivided jerusalem as the capital of israel so how much of a departure is this really from what has been u. S. Foreign policy in regards to israel and the palestinian territories. This is a sharp turn of Foreign Policy given the fact that well this is been official policy of the United States to recognize jerusalem as israels capital to move the u. S. Embassy based on a law put in place by the u. S. Congress in the one nine hundred ninety s. For twenty two years every single u. S. President has waived acting on that until now we expect that announcement by donald trump that he will be moving forward with the relocation of that embassy to be coming down in the next hour from the diplomatic room here at the white house but it is a move that has been cautioned against by World Leaders by members of congress here in the United States even some liberal leaning jewish groups there is grave concern of us standing in the world as a result of this actions and also u. S. National Security Committee house here with the latest from the white house of course we will be speaking to you in an hours time when we are due to get that announcement from President Trump next though lets go to one of the i mean she joins us live now from the palestinian city of ramallah in the occupied west bank for the unsurprisingly obviously very strong words from the palestinian leadership calling for sri days of rage tell us a little bit more about the atmosphere there and the political reaction. When i would say that palestinians by and large are furious see the youve heard people tell you that this was a disaster in the making some people said that it was utter madness. And theres also a lot of worry i what would happen afterwards when you speak to people chatting with people on the streets they tell you that after all the u. S. Was never an honest broker has always been leaning biased towards israel but now they say its a completely different situation simply because if the boss there was a vinnie or at least to trying to show that they considered listed in position nowadays a feeling that really Trump Administration is moving fully and unconditionally into the Israeli Cabinet now we have heard ever since that phone call between President Trump and by his Team President Mahmoud Abbas last night a flurry of declarations from various palestinian officials mainly condemning that announcement saying that warning of the implications that it could have on the ground and also warning that that would be as one of them put it the kiss of death to a two state solution and two to Peace Process so certainly there is a lot of anger you know president abbas has spoken to many word leaders including pope francis reminding everybody that. By East Jerusalem and is not only does not only have the muslim and jewish holy sites but also the christian holy sites and it was important to everybody that the status quo of that city is not changed until a final settlement is found to between the two sides now certainly the president Mahmoud Abbas is under a lot of pressure now he in. Basi has been accused by many palestinians of being too weak of wanting to stick to a chord that have brought them nothing except the shrinking of their land and the expansion of settlements so now he is due to speak as we understand it after the announcement of President Trump and many palestinians will like to hear from him concretely what steps he is going to take and they would like to have him take some sort of this size of measures some of them say they should just you should just cut off relations with the u. S. Thats a bit far fetched but that is just showing you the the extent of the anger and the extent of the disappointment among palestinians waiting for the speech at eight hundred g. M. T. Will be interesting to see what he actually says we have an idea but will be interesting to see as exact wording we will of course get reaction from ramallah and new honda when that happens for the moment thank you well as weve mentioned as being global condemnation against him of those warning against it are the leaders of turkey and jordan turkish president try to type out a hundred says it will make the region less secure. Protecting the current status of jerusalem is very important and its important that the islamic world unites and acts as one. Any attempt to change the legal status of jerusalem should be avoided no one has the right to play with the fate of millions of people such a move would only help to promote the ill intentions of the terrorist organizations. Well the turkish president made those comments during a News Conference with Jordans King Abdullah who spoke of jerusalem is being key to middle east ability jordan has also called for an emergency meeting of the arab league. There is no alternative to the stupid state solution and jerusalem is key to any Peace Agreement and it is key to the stability of the entire region. I did three emphasized to the us president yesterday our concerns on the decision to move the us embassy to jerusalem therefore it is imperative now to work fast to reach a final status solution and a Peace Agreement between palestinians and israelis and this must palestinians to establish their independent state side by side with israel and its capital in East Jerusalem. Good nori the Palestinian Muslim and christian rights in jerusalem will only fuel further extremism and undermine the war against terrorism watching out still to come on the program were going to take a closer look at the key historic moments which have shaped and created jerusalem as we know it also coming up. From mutated monster spiders to educational videos we explore how humans culture to make sense of this you know. Hello and welcome back now as we look at the weather across the levant and western parts of asia you see this massive cloud coming down and with it theres a risk of some significant snowfall across parts of syria northern parts of iraq and iran pulling cold air in behind it back in azerbaijan highs of just eight degrees theyre dry further towards that thirteen degrees celsius weve got some snow for parts of turkey and im struggling just three degrees as a mix and certainly could weather conditions for beirut moving through into the start of the weekend for this region temperatures up to seventeen there for beirut the front moves further towards the east and will take some snow away with it and weve also got Training Area of cloud again across the Arabian Peninsula so there is the threat of a few showers in this part of the region to temperatures not too bad twenty six there in doha but as we head into the weekend temperatures coming back to twenty three in just seventeen as a maximum expected in riyadh elsewhere still fine thirty for the high in mecca lets head across into southern portions of africa where its looking much more uncertain imagery lot of cloud extending across this region the threat of showers across eastern parts of south africa into mozambique too and also on the east coast of madagascar. Now reminder of the top stories here on aljazeera protesters are already on the streets of palestine ahead of President Trumps expected announcement that the u. S. Will recognize israels capital and move the American Embassy there from tel aviv the proposed move has also been condemned by World Leaders the arab league says it will hold an emergency meeting on saturday to discuss the situation israel claims all of jerusalem as its capital but this is never been recognized by any major player internationally until now. Well fighting for control of jerusalem goes back thousands of years from biblical times to the roman empire to the crusades but the current battle for the ancient city is a story with the stink early Twentieth Century roots as a high of now explains. Two major events within weeks of each other in one thousand nine hundred eighteen have in part led to events now first the signing of the Balfour Declaration when the British Government announced support for the creation of what it called a National Home for the jewish people in palestine the signing was soon followed by the socalled battle of jerusalem where british troops defeated the Ottoman Turkish Army which had controlled jerusalem for centuries after nearly thirty years of British Colonial rule the state of israel was created in one thousand nine hundred forty eight after the socalled war of independence with west jerusalem captured effectively dividing the city in half with the historic and religiously important east under jordanian control that changed in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and the six day war between israel and arab states Israeli Forces seized large areas of territory including East Jerusalem hopes were raised in one thousand nine hundred three with the signing of the oslo accords which ended the first intifada or uprising and laid out a framework for the creation of a palestinian state those efforts ended in two thousand with the start of a second uprising were jerusalem was the frontline of riots and suicide bomb attacks the Israeli Government began building the separation wall in two thousand and three and continued to approve the construction of huge jewish settlements on occupied land making the creation of a palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital increasingly difficult to see now the United States one of the key brokers between the palestinians and israelis is breaking with years of precedent by recognizing all of jerusalem as israels capital and unpredictable consequences could be the result. M. T. S. Time reporting there will in the last half hour donald trump has the fended his decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel by saying its quote long overdue he made the comments during a Cabinet Meeting ahead of the official announcement which he is expected to make in less than an hours time we have a big announcement coming up at one oclock perhaps a couple of you will be there maybe. But its a big you know its announcement concerning israel and the palestinians in the middle east and i think its long overdue many president s of said they want to do something and they didnt do it whether its through courage or they change their mind i cant tell you but a lot of people have said we have to do something and they didnt do it so well be talking about that something at one oclock or more on this were joined by aljazeera senior political analyst not one to share with us in the studio so interesting at hearing donald trump there talking about how its long overdue you know in fairness the Jerusalem Embassy act in the u. S. Was passed in one thousand nine hundred ninety five and since then every six months the president s go through the motion of postponing it for six months by signing a waiver so in a sense its not really a break with u. S. Policies that everyone was sort of ignoring the Jerusalem Embassy. Yes in an in the sense that the decision was of course was born out of a congress thats dominated by the israeli lobby and that this thats an ill thought through decision if its not a foolish decision to. Decide that this would be the capital of israel when the United States has signed on. The osce the accords two years before that in shrines in the euro in the United Nations Security Council resolution that says jerusalem will be an issue negotiated by the sea in an israelis towards the end of the Peace Process so for the United States in one thousand nine hundred five or in two thousand and seventeen. In all fairness to take a decision like that is illegal if not foolish now speaking of long do foolish and ill for through isnt it long due for the United States to have recognized the set of palestine and its been occupied since one thousand nine hundred seven when is the us position on occupation for the last forty years instead of doing that they have been supporting israel the occupying power in palestine what about americans commitment to the rights of refugees the human rights of refugees they have been dispossessed since nine hundred forty eight thats certainly long do where is the american position on that so really all in all what were talking about here is the present trump implementing congress a congress or a solution but at the same time. Slapping down a United Nation Security Council resolution that says this issue is not for the United States or any other country in the world and thats why no other country in the world recognizes jerusalem as the captain of his own and of course the fear for palestinians is that maybe other countries might also have their embassy but well get to that if and when it happens we are due to hear the speech in what forty five minutes time what are you looking out for what particular words or what topics do you think might make a difference well its what you know what you would expect from a speech like this being so flag grant in recognizing jerusalem as a capital of the jewish state is some sort of a balancing language whereby presumably it will help the humiliation a lot of americas allies including in palestine like president about us so will he be this time around truly committed to a two state solution will be will he be committed to one thousand nine hundred seven being the borders between israel and palestine. Would he say it is time now to freeze israeli settlements unlike before where he was not committed to the two state solution where he is not committed to the one thousand nine hundred seven and that the occupation of palestine and why where he was not committed to israel freezing the settlements like previous american president s were to a large extent so you would want to Pay Attention to a balancing language or some clarity on some of the thorny issues in is a very brief running out of time but its what he mentions jerusalem any may say west or east is there a way in which you could say this speech which doesnt annihilate the possibility of East Jerusalem becoming the capital of a future palestinian state. What do you go that is what he should be saying he should be saying i recognize whats jerusalem as the capital of israel and i recognize is jerusalem as the capital of the palestinian state and i would like to see jerusalem an open city of all religions a peaceful city shared by palestinians and israelis among well be watching the speech with us and we will of course be talking about it soon after so for the moment thank you. Kids bring you some of the days other news thats go to yemen where who are the five years of broken up a rare protest by dozens of yemeni women in the capital sanaa.

More than Twelve Thousand homes are under threat by wildfires in Southern California the largest and most the struct of is raging in the foothills of the city of ventura about eighty kilometers northwest of los angeles the blaze is being fanned by hot dry winds that has so far burned through at least one hundred fifty structures and fifty thousand hectares of land the remains of hundreds of argentinian troops who were buried as unknown soldiers during the one thousand nine hundred four clint islands war have been identified their relatives in argentina now have the chance to bring their loved ones homes home terrace of all reports from one as i.

As i am very anxious them very upset because im not sure whether they have found him my mother died a few months ago waiting for this we need to know and be able to give him a proper burial we need to know whether they have found him in. Argentina and the United Kingdom went to war when argentine troops invaded the british controlled. Which the argent. During the two months of fighting two hundred fifty five british troops and nearly six hundred fifty argentine soldiers were killed about twenty percent of the soldiers killed in that war where an identified buried in graves marked only by a simple message i didnt find soldier only known to god according to a report by the International Committee of the red cross out of one hundred twenty one graves eighty eight of them were clearly identified the relatives of those who were killed during the war were brought here to this building where they are informed whether their loved ones were among those identified you hear from the woody that has been working identifying victims in war zones for decades he says working on the islands was not easy. It was a complex process that took a very long time but the red cross formed the team that involved experts different specialties from all around the world working on the islands was difficult because of the conditions there but it was successful. What made possible the identification process was an agreement between the u. K. In argentina with the assistance of the red cross it this agreement was based on humanitarian law and its an umbrella that unites all those aside from the conflict that exists between countries that we will have to resolve but also shows that when the end benefits everyone the objectives can be achieved on tuesday.

The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded on the semper tend to the International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons or i can a group dedicated to creating a World Without Nuclear Weapons its been seventy two years since the devastating power of Nuclear Weapons was first used on a civilian population millions of people can remember a time when the set of Nuclear Armageddon overshadowed their daily lives that threat has steadily diminished since the end of the cold war but with the rise of north koreas Nuclear Weapons capability will that fear return rob reynolds reports. Nuclear annihilation with little warning that was the terrible fate that the generation that grew up in the one nine hundred fifty s. And sixtys was taught to fear and prepare for first duck and then cover schoolchildren were drilled on how to avoid being incinerated we all know the atomic bomb is very dangerous and it may be used against us we must get ready for Public Service films urged children to keep an eye out for soviet planes and to head for shelter when the air raid siren and you were warned right the flash thats the first thing theyll be get away from windows get under a desk you had the sense that it was going to be incredibly destructive and that we would be just tiny pawns pieces of debris we had to hide in every crevice we could find. Probably once response to this visceral fear was to produce a parade of nuclear spawn monsters giant ants emerged from the site of a nuclear bomb tests to attack society as did giant radioactive spiders and humans in terrifying radiation gruen like enormous looming symbols of destruction the terror peaked in one nine hundred sixty two when the cuban missile crisis brought the u. S. And soviet union to the brink it is a difficult and dangerous effort on which we have set out it receded as the superpowers negotiated a reduction of tensions and Nuclear Arsenals but under the hawkish Ronald Reagan fear of mutually assured destruction came roaring back it flares again the nuclear fear in the early eightys when Ronald Reagan started building star wars and next missiles before the reform started in the soviet union we were again at the brink this time Popular Culture delivered not giant insects but a realistic. Powerful depiction of nuclear war in the widely watched Television Film called the day after when the soviet union collapsed most americans readily pass their Nuclear Nightmares away now a new threat has emerged but so far at least the fear has not its kind of surprising now isnt it that we seem to be very perilous times with north korea but it doesnt resonate the way Nuclear Crises did in the past its too early perhaps for Popular Culture to absorb the north korean threat and decide how to respond robert oulds Al Jazeera Los Angeles and you can watch an exclusive interview with this years Nobel Peace Prize laureate Beatrice Finn from icann shell be speaking to us right here on aljazeera thats on sunday the tense of the center at sixteen hundred g.
