Security council a draft resolution rejecting the u. S. Policy change is to go to a vote. Live from london coming up delegates from south africas ruling a. N. C. Have chosen their new leader an announcement is imminent. Donald trumps about to unveil a new National Security strategy intended to implement his America First doctrine. And. Celebrates his election for a new term as chiles president. I know the u. N. Security council is getting ready to vote on a draft resolution rejecting the u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital u. S. President Donald Trumps policy shift on jerusalem earlier this month has been widely criticized and a sparked mass protests around the world it was more anger across the palestinian territory on sunday night with demonstrators burning effigies of trump and israels need of Benjamin Netanyahu. United nations force so mike how much support is there for the resolution at the u. N. Well lauren they have the know taking part in a shed yule briefing on the mideast palestine being briefed by the special representative nicholai not enough but the debate about the resolution thats due to be introduced by egypt has in effect already begun weve heard from a number of the members on their way into the chamber fall this meeting saying very clearly that they were going to vote in favor of the resolution which after all is simply a summation of the u. N. Position established on the status of jerusalem over a period of decades among those making very clear which way he was going to vote was u. K. Ambassador. To the United Kingdom will vote in favor of the egyptian text on jerusalem because it is in line with our longstanding position on jerusalem it is in line with Previous Security Council resolutions. And. We call on all parties to a new efforts in favor of a long sustained on a sustainable peace in the middle east that we also call on all political leaders to encourage everyone to refrain from violence it is only in a peaceful situation that the chances of peace will be maximized. And whats the u. S. Position been surrounding this. Well the u. S. Position has been very clear they are not going to back down on their decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel and we heard from the u. S. Ambassador during the discussions about israel of middle east of palestine making very clear what the u. S. Position was now she was referring to a resolution that was passed by the Security Council exactly one year ago one which condemned settlement building as an obstacle to peace now historically the Obama Administration abstained from a vote the only time during of the obama eight year terms that the u. S. Abstained from a vote concerning israel did not exercise a veto the ambassador current ambassador making very clear that should that vote happen are the u. S. Would definitely veto it giving every indication that they are going to veto this gyptian resolution her arguing very strongly that there is a constant bias as she puts it by the u. N. Against israel the United States refuses to accept the double standard that says we are not impartial when we stand by the will of the American People by moving our u. S. Embassy but somehow the United Nations is a neutral party when it consistently singled out israel for condemnation. For decades israel has withstood wave after wave of bias in the un and its agencies so mike if this is vetoed by the u. S. This particular resolution what will the next move be by the palestinians. Well the palestinians have made very clear that they have basically a two pronged strategy firstly they want to ensure that no other nation follows the u. S. Lead hence egypt has drafted this particular resolution in a way that does not single out the United States incidentally just arguing against any state that would decide to establish or recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but the second problem of the palestinian approach should as indeed very likely their resolution be vetoed is to go to the General Assembly and have the resolution introduced in the General Assembly now remembering that any vote there would be nonbinding on members but there is no veto within the General Assembly so that resolution could be passed the apparent intent of the palestinians to shine a spotlight on the degree to which the u. S. Is divergent from the rest of the world with regard to the status of jerusalem and in terms of its general policy on israel status and of course the future of jerusalem itself mike hanna at the u. N. Thank you very much indeed. Thank. You u. S. President all trump is set to lay out his National Security strategy in a speech in washington d. C. Centered around his America FirstCampaign Slogan the document has been a year in the making trump is expected to label china and russia as competitors seeking to challenge u. S. Power and erode its security the countries he will say aim to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence or both countries are accused of Cyber Attacks against america and trumps new strategy will pledge to go after malicious cyber actors and protect u. S. Infrastructure from cyber hacking trump is expected to drop former president obamas declaration that Climate Change poses a National Security threat to the u. S. And the strategy will cite north korea iran and what the Administration Calls islamist militants as threats to u. S. Interests lets get more now from our White House Correspondent whos live in washington d. C. For us so to me some of the themes emerging and what you think the big ones will be that people will really pick up on. Well i think youve already touched on the main themes but if you would let me expand a little bit i think when it comes to the sort of America First priority that we expect will be outlined in the president s speech certainly this is a return to a lot of the statements that were made on the campaign trail but the president seemed to draw back a little bit from in recent months while we heard on the campaign trail a lot of support texting the homeland type themes that bolstering bought Border Security which we expect will be elements of the speech what we saw the president doing in fact today in recent months was despite this sort of expectation that he will return to kind of a cold war mentality with respect to china and russia we see just the exact opposite from the president in recent months particularly when it comes to china of course works very much at the beginning of his administration with president xi in trying to exert economic influence of china to rein in north korea and with respect to russia also significant just even in the last forty eight hours we saw a readout coming from the white house where in fact it was sort of praising the cooperation of both the United States and russia in terms of stopping an attack in St Petersburg as a result of intelligence tip so this is significant because what we see here is this tough talk with regard to china and russia that we expect will be in the speech but then again some of the president s more recent actions showing just the exact opposite which is also notable we expect is that the president will not in this speech touch on the fact that russia was heavily involved in influencing through social media campaigns the u. S. Election sometimes in kind of the politics of washington why is a speech like this which a year into a presidency want to set out a strategy now whats the kind of whats the big deal behind this particular speech and on what it involves. Its not optional its congressionally mandated so the president does need to outline this strategy whats significant about this though lauren is the fact that the president wanted to deliver this himself where thats a contrast to what we saw from the Obama Administrations from the bush administrations and one of the thing that you touched on at the beginning of this that is also a contest with respect to the Obama Administration is the point about Climate Change and how that impacts National Security not only is the president not going to identify this is sort of eliminated from the list of Global Threats as we saw under the Obama Administration but its an odds with his very own secretary of defense and also the pentagon that does see this as certainly an element of security concern and risk for the United States can be how could thank you very much indeed three gunmen who stormed a construction site in the Afghan Capital kabul have been killed after a standoff and gun battle with Security Forces its believed they took control of the partially built building in order to fire down into a neighborhood in neighboring Intelligence Training Center the three men launch their failed attack with a car bomb and rocket propelled grenades i solicit claiming responsibility in britain a man has been arrested after he drove a car at an air force base checkpoint used by u. S. Service personnel nobody was injured in the incident which took place at our afternoon hole in suffolk in Eastern England its home to the one hundred air refueling wing of the u. S. Air force British Police wouldnt you describe the incident as significant. In chile the billionaire businessman Sebastian Pinera wants to push for greater Economic Growth after his convincing win in the president ial runoff vote yes votes than any president since cheneys return to democracy twenty seven years ago but the results of the biggest ever loss for the center Left Coalition latin america. Chiles billionaire president elected got what he wanted another crack at the presidency for the second time in twenty seven years chile has swung from the center left to the center right both times the civil stamping it out the markets favorite the former president a successful businessman promises better times ahead as he extends an olive branch to the uk if he does i committed to all chileans a commitment to unity and dialogue and so i invite all of our previous president s to share their experience and advise with me so that we can reach National Agreements to tackle the biggest problems. At the headquarters of center left candidate. There were long faces had run on the promise of accelerating the social reforms started by the current government of president michel by chile but the former journalists inexperience and chilly sluggish Economic Growth ultimately gave the conservatives the upper hand bennetta has been linked to several shady business deals and political scandals but clearly it did not matter i think the general issues that politicians announce a discredits and that people just assume that they are liars will be so whatever and then choose between the lesser of two evils chileans have made their decision joining the recent latin american swing towards the political right and the button is going to get out would not have an easy time of it not only because the electorate has proven itself to be more demanding but also because you will not enjoy a majority in the legislature. Which means speaking it i will have a hard time road. Back on still popular social reforms as is happening in brazil and neighboring argentina being you know government is going to be more of an administrative government is going to going to be very similar to what we saw in his first term in power its going to be more short term oriented its going to be related to jobs but this time around sebastien to get out will have to be less accommodating to the Business Elite the election has shown that chileans have become far more demanding and are expecting results no matter how hard they may be to deliver. The sea and human ill just see down some talent. Still ahead of al jazeera will bring you the results from a nail biting election in the indian state of gujarat. Upcycling the refugee crisis im joined all of these are beds and trance recovered from refugee camps being made into bags and backpacks while the refugees who are themselves making a new life here in greece.

India its fine and dry we do have this little area of cloud here thats making things a little bit gray really this felt a great deal of significant rain on that during the day on tuesday and to the south of that slush fine and dry into you head down towards sri lanka and here we are expecting some more rather sharp showers those will be spreading their way into the southern parts of india there as we head through the day on wednesday then the area that sticks around across the central belt is making all the way up towards nepal but again not really any significant rain on the.

Making the most of the greeks. This time on aljazeera. Aljazeera is on the ground in Southern Africa identifying the crucially important stories for the forty s. Thats incredibly. And im going to remind our top stories here. Protests across the occupied palestinian territories as the u. N. Security council gets ready to vote on a draft resolution rejecting the u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital. U. S. President donald trump is preparing to lay out his National Security strategy in a speech in washington d. C. Centered around his America FirstCampaign Slogan. Three gunmen who stormed a construction site in the Afghan Capital kabul have been killed after a standoff with Security Forces. South africas ruling party the a. N. C. Is expected very shortly to announce who will succeed president jacob zuma as its needed its Party Conference in johannesburg the win it will almost certainly lead the party into the twenty nineteen election when zuma steps down as president often second term the two official candidates are Current Deputy president zero on the poza and zuma is exwife and closes on a meanie. On your pages at the conference in johannesburg and spence is killing us isnt that weve been waiting for this for quite a while now any hints and clues as to who is going to. No i dont have any so close i think if you start giving you sort of fall into a bit of a trap because they had said earlier it would be closer to midnight and then they said five or ten minutes of that was about an hour or so ago so without a doubt they have never been closer but exactly when we just cant say this wasnt just the race for the presidency but for all top six positions in the. The four thousand eight hundred delegates had quite a substantial ballot paper and they need to make sure that the results verified that there perhaps is a double count happening that they are one hundred percent certain because it was expected to be a tight race however heading into the final vote. Head four hundred more nominations from the branches. So he had what looked like a pretty clear advantage although once they get into the ballot. The polling station itself of course those delegates perhaps may be swayed one way or the other by something or another and spread out first for people who maybe havent been following this very closely what the different visions are for the two candidates and how different it would be in south africa. Which wing. Well there is a general consensus in south africa backed up by a lot of Economic Statistics that the country has done pretty poorly under president jacob zuma although under his tenure the a. N. C. Has made a lot of strides in terms of building millions of homes expanding basic Services Like he announced on saturday that from Higher Education would be free to the countrys poorest students how if. Blighted by corruption and scandal after scandal since the very beginning of his presidency of the a. N. C. And prison. See all of the country and thats seem to have really tarnished not only his image but that of the a. N. C. And so the partys been really deeply divided between his style of governance and the catch an age that hes fostered under his tenure and. As his exwife although a strong politician in her own ride has been deemed by some to be sort of tainted by association shes run what many say has been a pretty populist campaign very pro poor and shes repeated one of his catchphrases that radical Economic Transformation on the other side of the fence Deputy President ceramic campaigned on a really strong n. T. Corruption. Campaign and he is seen as being very strong in the Business World hes one of south africas wealthiest individuals and he also was well known. He was one of the key negotiators that led to a peaceful transition to democracy and one of the main writers of this countrys very progressive constitution and he is something of a darling of the markets they have he has their backing which leads many people to believe that perhaps he would really be the right person to rebuild this countrys economy and lead to Economic Growth and the creation of the millions of jobs that people here need tony page thank you very much and they will come back to that result comes through. Military chiefs in zimbabwe have announced an end to the intervention which forced a former president Robert Mugabe to resign they dont stop or asian restore legacy last month as concerns grew over who would replace mugabe are matushka reports from harare. When the military into the field and put relevant guy under house arrest on the fifteenth of november the army say they were doing it to weed out criminal elements people that surrounded themselves around Robert Mugabe people their kids are trying to destroy and destabilize the country since then we saw soldiers stationed in strategic points in the capital city theyve been doing joint patrols with the police try to maintain law and order now the program the army called Operation Restore legacy is over and the army say the situation on the ground is now back to normal Operation Restore league was launched on the thirteenth of november twenty seventh. And its Main Objective was to remove criminals that did surrounded the former president resulting. In disappointed insurmountable people. When some of the individuals who had been accounted for. The country. This notwithstanding the object do so in a large extent been achieved some people liked having the soldiers around the state at a board a sense of order especially when it came to dealing with the police some Police Officers here are known to be corrupt most recently complaining for many many years of having to pay huge bribes to corrupt Police Officials especially at roadblocks or that have somewhat stopped when the armies are doing these joint patrols with the police so people are wondering once the army has gone well the police behave but some people say sol just along in the bats especially when the country is preparing for elections next year they say you cant have a situation where people are campaigning registering to vote and voting and soldiers are still roaming around so mixed feelings in the country right now at this announcement that Operation Restore legacy is over what remains to be seen now is how the next few weeks will play out and if order really will be maintained without the soldiers on the ground.

I have to stay here Lisa Campbell founded the ngo that set up this business what it does is give them a reason to be able to stay here because they are safe here their kids can go to school here they have medical care here there are there are reasons to stay angry if you have a job. The greek government has closed a number of refugee camps on the mainland preferring to try and integrate refugees into society all that remains of camp is the sitemap and whatever these budding entrepreneurs could salvage this is a pile of beds recovered from a recently closed refugee camp this canvas will soon be turned into designer items it is if you like upcycling of the refugee crisis this business turning a lot of misery into a little bit of hope and happiness made in greece here or at least the exercise in integration is going well. I think its a great improvement for the area and people can get to know what these refugees and organizations are doing. But Lisa Campbell knows theyre really only scratching the surface of a much bigger problem i want to know that ive done made a difference in these lives.
