And this is a news hour earlier from london coming out. In favor one hundred twenty eight against nine. Un votes by a huge majority in favor of a resolution condemning the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. Voting is underway and counts alone in an election many hope will finally resolve spains political crisis. And at least four people are dead after a ferry capsized in Stormy Weather off the philippines more than two hundred people were rescued. And im peter hall with all the days sports news a saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates walk out of a News Conference on the eve of the gulf protesting the presence of qatari media. We begin at the United Nations where the General Assembly have just voted by a huge majority to declare u. S. Recognition of jerusalem as israels capital null and void a spokesman for the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas described the vote as a victory for palestine and israel has already rejected the vote and thanked u. S. President trump for his stance on jerusalem one hundred twenty eight voted for the resolution with just nine against and thirty five abstentions conscious who sided with america where israel guatemala honduras Marshall Islands micronesia nuru allow and togo palestines minister for Foreign Affairs told the General Assembly that jerusalem remains the key to peace in the middle east. Lisa. We meet today not because of any animosity towards the us but because of a decision which constitutes immigration on the genuine and natural right of the title of palestine and to all the muslims and christians of the world the american decision or not and heck the status of jerusalem as the holy city rather it will impact the status of the us as a mediator of peace but israels ambassador to the u. N. Criticize the body for what he called its double standard. Of caution that the United States the fusion is the one sided and harmful to peace the opposite is true you the one sided steps of the palestinians and the un that have pushed away for use with every and there is a revolution with every attack on my people the un has perfect it its double standard by recognizing jerusalem as israels capital the us will move its embassy there and the Us Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley says america will go ahead with the move regardless of the un vote 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 u. N. And on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the un and when mike hanna joins us live now from the United Nations in new york mike you just pull apart the figures a little bit palestinians had hoped for maybe as many as one hundred fifty to come behind them on this turkish resolution wasnt quite that many why do you think there were there abstentions and of course those against. Well lets just go over the figures that were reflected in a similar vote on jerusalem taken by the General Assembly back in november there were six votes against this number has increased to nine toko togo duress and guatemala joining the no votes including of course the us but on the last occasion as well there were only six abstentions on this case youve got thirty five abstentions so possibly this is a result of what many members saw as a hectoring bullying campaign by President Trump and his ambassadors including the threat of financial retaliation should Member States vote in favor of this particular motion but even given that this massive majority vote going way above the two thirds needed to pass a resolution is in the way a very strong repudiation not only of President Trump and his decision to recognize jerusalem as a couple of israel but also the tactics that he and his ambassador have used in attempting to get this vote rejected i dont particularly like the ambassador to the u. N. The u. S. Ambassador nikki haley even when affair theyre saying that obviously the u. S. Is the biggest contributor to the u. N. And this will change the way the u. S. Sees the u. N. Could this end up with with a shift from the u. S. Within the u. N. Family. Well the u. S. Has since the trumpet ministration come into power been hinting at cutting contributions to various aspects of the un operations it does pay as much as a quarter to keep the various organizations off the u. S. U. N. Running including peacekeeping but it does seem particularly from President Trumps comments yesterday that at present the focus is a very personal one if one can put it that way is that hes going to go after Member States states perhaps such as yemen who introduced this particular resolution and who in this year got well over six hundred fifty Million Dollars in humanitarian aid from the United States but it does appear from President Trumps comments and indeed nikki haleys comments that the immediate target is going to be a retaliation against individual states rather than at this stage any form of organized coordinated action against the United Nations itself that may change the in the days and weeks ahead given the nature of this u. S. Administration as mike hanna there giving us his reaction to that vote at the United NationsGeneral Assembly well how the abdel i mean it is in ramallah where of course it matters the most and the reaction there so far harder its a victory as far as the president is concerned. Yes absolutely and actually there was an issued a Statement Issued from his office in where they. Talked about victory but also about basically. Praising the fact that the International Community did not bow to bullying and basically backed legitimacy now this statement went ahead saying that the palestinians will continue all deference in being International Organizations do u. N. Diplomatic initiatives as till they reached the creation of a palestinian state you do get the sense really when you speak to officials here and that was before this vote but they were pretty confident that it was going to resume should was going to pass they felt quite strong about it you do get a sense that there is a momentum and they know they have and the palestinians have a mentor him and they have to get it right they dont only have to get it right because there is pressure from the International Community because of all the attention theyre getting but they have to get it right because the Palestinian People themselves are sort of this illusion that this stage they not only angry at the u. S. And israel but they also angry at what they see as weakness from their own authorities today is a lot of pressure on the leadership here. President Mahmoud Abbas is now in france hes going to meet with emanuel macor yesterday and from what we understand and well have to see how all of this unfolds but what do what hes going to try to get is to get as a bloc to recognize the state of palestine and they leave it to individual European Countries on them to themselves to whether they like to do installed those bilateral relations yes or no because we did see through this vote that certain European Countries were on the side of the. U. S. And israel thank you harder harder doesnt mean that with the reaction in ramallah lets switch across to west jerusalem effectively the other side where harry force that joins us live harry just reading the comments from one senior politician that israel should cut ties with the u. N. And expel the organization from jerusalem i mean really they reaction is quite severe where you are yes its not the first time that those sorts of threats have been made and so far the u. N. Retains its headquarters here but certainly there has been extremely Strong Language directed at the u. N. From very senior israeli politicians the Prime Minister among them the representative there in new york as well and weve heard a brief. Statement from one of the Prime Ministers official spokespeople saying that the the government of israel rejects this vote and at the same time. Those countries the forty four countries that didnt vote for it the thirty five abstentions the nine votes against now obviously there had been a fairly strong play by israel to try and lobby some of the countries with whom it has been trying to develop Race Relations in recent years to not come on board with this resolution and despite the fact that there is a hugely overwhelming vote in favor of that resolution and it really does marginalize the u. S. Position on the israeli position to a large extent israel is trying to accentuate the positive in terms of the negative votes or the extensions many thanks very for sit there with the latest out of western. Coming up on this news hour from london the red cross warns there are now one million suspected cases of cholera in yemen. Well tell you about the linguistic divide thats causing thousands of them cameroonians to think safety in neighboring nigeria. And its fifty days to go until the Winter Olympics speech will tell us about the issues facing later on in sport. The u. S. Has imposed sanctions against dozens of people and businesses accused of Human Rights Violations and corruption one of those targeted is an army general in myanmar accused of leading a campaign of ethnic cleansing against their hinges the u. S. Has also drafted a u. N. Resolution banning nearly fifty percent of Petroleum Exports to north korea can really help joins us live now from the white house with much more kimberly i have to say interesting timing with whats going on in new york nations today for this to to emerge and tell us a little bit more about those that have been fingered. Its always interesting to hear at the Trump White House is what my experience has been in the last almost year or so youre right just when you think there is one major story of the day two and three can pop up and this is an example of that certainly this is something that has been in the works for some time of course we know that has been quiet here at the white house and we do know that the white house has been watching very carefully as the events are taking place at the United Nations were still waiting for reaction from that of press the white house number of times about that but in the interim perhaps as a distraction as some have suggested we see now have this executive order being signed against entities individuals what this is essentially is that the first use of the trumpet ministration of whats known as the global magnitsky act that was first expanded under barack obama and what this does as you point out is it freezes the assets blocks access to the Global Financial system for a number of individuals including a million marginal accused of ethnic cleansing and of course this is a follow up to a very strong statement from the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson saying that in fact the actions against the will hinge and rock and state amounted in the eyes of the United States to ethnic cleansing so certainly this is an example of these sanctions that have been announced of the United States using as it has said repeatedly all of its tools at its disposal to promote human rights and adding to that also to this request by the trumpet ministration to the United Nations with regard to north korea feeling that the saying things that were put in place there in september were violated with regard to Petroleum Exports now asking for in light of the view of the United States those sanctions being violated for further and tougher action many things can really help with. The wind. At least four people have died after a ferry with hundreds onboard capsized off the philippines it was traveling from the town of in fact turn to k. C.

According to the Philippine Government the next few hours is going to be critical rescuing those who remain trapped and stranded out at sea is now being conducted by the Philippine Military there is the air force there is a need also working with the Philippine Coast guard but its not going to be easy because of the rough seas and because its already nighttime here in the philippines what we know is that around eleven am local time around two hundred fifty passengers was on the ferry on its way to poor Little Island when it capsized it comes at a very difficult time here in the philippines its Christmas Season the most important time of the year for filipinos as the goal at this time on their way home to their provinces to celebrate the holidays with their families surprisingly though this kind of accident is the thing new in the philippines the philippines holds one of the worst records when it comes to maritime accidents still that has not been any we helped improve maritime standards here in the philippines the worst on record was around thirty years ago when the Passenger Ship collided with an oil tanker and left more than one thousand eight hundred people dead the International Committee for the red cross says that the number of suspected cholera cases in yemen has reached one million the u. N. Says yemen is facing the worlds worst humanitarian crisis with eighty percent of its population suffering from a shortage for food clean water and access to health care that has more. More than twenty two hundred yemenis have died from cholera since late april the disease continues to spread in what the u. N. Has called the worlds worst cholera outbreak the International Committee of the red cross says yemen now has one million cases. Going to got even though it is figures that we did with the u. S. One hundred twenty seven. Not that good idea yet but no we cannot recall these d. D. s why because children have not been vaccinated and we want to know what next more than eighty percent of yemenis cant get food or clean water and lack access to health care and fuel adding to their misery aid groups have struggled to deliver supplies since november thats when the Saudi Led Coalition blocked all ports of entry saying it needed to halt the flow of weapons to the rebel who thiis vowing to International Pressure the coalition has allowed some aid in but the u. N. Says its still not at the level required to help the more than twenty Million People in need a shortage of commercial goods is also driving up prices. The price hike will cost starvation of thousands of people many goods cant enter the market because of the closed airports and ports on the other hand we dont have enough money to buy things not only the people but the whole country struggling to survive more than two and a half years of war has battered the countrys infrastructure making the water supply unreliable and yemenis are trapped in a dangerous cycle malnutrition compromises the immune system and cholera exacerbates malnutrition the majority of people can survive cholera if given fluids to rehydrate and antibiotics in extreme cases aid groups are trying to expand access to health care and clean water one giant obstacle remains the war natasha going to aljazeera a straining place have ruled out terrorism as a motive behind a deadly car running in melbourne and nineteen people were injured when a man plowed his vehicle into a busy intersection they say vagina the history of Mental Health issues. Catalans are voting in a crucial election that could mark a turning point for their region just chain once after a failed secession bed chicken spains worst political crisis in decades turned out a seventy percent has been recorded so far with process session and unity candidates neck and neck in the polls paul brennan reports from barcelona. I outside catalunya is largest polling station the queue to vote formed early and stretched out of the gates and down the street the polling day underway a mood of calm determination replaced the bitter words and strident campaigning of recent weeks inside voting was brisk turn out to be a crucial factor in the catalonians proportional representation system the prospect of an outright victory for either of the two main camps process session or pro unity its extremely unlikely its just too tight but a lot will depend on a socalled silent majority of up to a million undecided voters with catalan president colleagues preach them all still in selfimposed exile in brussels a proxy vote was cast for him by eighteen year old laura son show her reason simple. Simply because he is in exile and i think thats not the why politics should work and i feel like he just needs my voice. The teddy cover us family are firm secessionists on october first they voted yes to independence on thursday they walked the short distance to the nearest polling station and did it all over again promise you i feel that we have to come and vote we could have boycotted this election but if you dont vote you dont count and we hope its going to be worthwhile but across town this family is just as firmly aligned with spanish unity whatever the result of this election catalonia will remain divided and even familiar. Within the family were fine because we all feel the same way as normally well its but on a social level weve lost friendships lost friends at work because of political debate but it divided us and. Secessionist believe their cause has been strengthened by madrid imposing direct rule and by the jailing of catalan leaders suspicious at madrids refusal to allow International Election observers activists are conducting their own shadow count of votes opinion polls suggest the most likely result is a Hung Parliament with pro secession his partys forming the biggest block and that will do nothing to repair the deep fractures and recriminations that have emerged during spains worst political crisis since the return to democracy forty years ago. Paul brennan aljazeera barcelona. A couple hole joins me now from barcelona whos been out and about with his old taiko i hesitate to ask this but does a huge turnout give us any sense of which way the vote is going. Right now it is difficult to talk about huge turnouts although you are absolutely right in some preliminary results from one of the official bodies they do suggest that we are on course the potentially a record turnout will have to wait still for bad enough for now which is when the ballot closers to see if those predictions are fulfilled some political analysts have suggested in fact that the perhaps a high turnout will help the unionist vote those who want to stay on to spain it must be said however that the whole issue of independence will secession the one that is on the law aimed at this whole column entry election has really polarized society and take does seem from those figures that everybody really wanted to come out today and have a say soon and it has been called a political crisis it was probably not difficult to overestimate how they impact of this is going to have on the area and how important is it that this is a decisive result. Yeah youre absolutely right i dont think we can underestimate this is a toll this is a political crisis not just for catalonia but for the whole of spain its also become an economic problem as well the other day spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy yes tamate at the catalonia crisis it shaped movement half a percentage point of Economic Growth this year and as we know more than three thousand companies normally based in catalonia have shifted Corporate Headquarters out of the region because of this that is why the spanish Prime Minister the spine essential government hoped that by calling this not parliamentary election that could drew a line under this crisis but that really does depend. On the phone because if the pro separatist rock does manage to renew its majority in the Catalan Parliament this cook crisis could go on for months and months who are the other nightmare scenario courting to political analysts is that of a Hung Parliament when the poor brennan there was mentioning in his report and if it is a Hung Parliament that could mean the within two months catalonia has to head back to the polls for moral agents to see if they can consolidate either the unionist or the separatist bloc in parliament so that at least one side takes it to troll a marks a definitive line to hold the futurists are banning the company whole that with the latest on not voting in barcelona.

General assembly has adopted a resolution that rejects u. S. President double trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital under twenty eight countries voted for the measure it calls the american move no and avoid nine voted against thirty five abstained the u. S. Has imposed sanctions on dozens of people and businesses including in myanmar general involved in the brutal crackdown on will hinge on muslims. And catalans are voting in a Regional Election separatist parties are battling you. Yes you want to remain part of spain officials are reporting a turnout of seventy percent with both camps neck and neck in the polls. Lets return to our top story the u. N. General Assembly Vote against the u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital for more were joined by aljazeera syria political analyst Marwan Bashara and the Turkish Foreign minister has said that the this u. N. Vote showed a dignity and sovereignty are not for sale in a way thats probably more telling than the actual resolution that really showed up the u. S. Its behavior in all this you know because in the end of the day jerusalem has not changed its status is that occupied by israel and on the other hand its legal status is still the same america might have changed its opinion but the wall hasnt an International Law hasnt neither the occupation of East Jerusalem so in so many ways what the Turkish Foreign minister i think what so much turkey is representing now just going to head to heads with donald trump saying you know we also empire much more even before the United States was born you know we were in power for four hundred years plus so dont come and bully us you know it would we cant be bullied nor should be be bullets in the end of the day i think this is the kind of confrontation that i think i mean i wasnt really taken aback but lets remember turkey is a nato member its an ally of the United States it hosts American Military bases and so for the thirty four minutes or to go head to head like this and to name america by and to go after america by name and to say you cannot buy dignity and so on so forth i thought that was telling and at the same time that its been damaging to the us is image in that way there is now a possibility of a backlash nikki haley the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations saying well if this vote goes ahead than this is the. Change the way the u. S. Sees the u. N. And course the countries that voted against it you know here im not a sort of a loss im not exactly sure whether this was just a short sighted foolish decision based on expediency pleasing the base eventually called christian radical adventure christians i must say and the israeli lobby or there was something more to a close up of the troublemaking around the world than and just basically going after all kinds of people in order to really prove whos the boss in the middle east in order to pass an american formula for some kind of a speech subtle meant imposed on the palestinians im not sure which is which but regardless of the motivation that drove trump to make that decision it definitely backfired because what we saw today that despite all the pressure and intimidation the bullying what we have is hundred one hundred twenty eight countries saying to trump you cannot bully us your silly and thirty five countries who are you know little countries that are dependent on the United States saying well you are a bully so you know for the answers to come out either syria or a bully is not exactly a testimony for American Leadership are we going to see flashes to think of relations individual countries relations with the americans now or take take you for instance you know american based on turkish soil what happens in the end Going Forward now are we going to see some crisis points to think of three needs to individual nations you know i think primarily with the countries were going to look at i think will be i think with turkey its been escalating anyway tensions have been rising between the United States and turkey for a number of reasons including syria including jews themselves or. I think the more sensitive pressure points are jordan and egypt you know but i think the United States having made the decision on jerusalem i think it would be quite short even more shortsighted if you decided to eliminate its two most important partners in the Peace Process socalled Peace Process jordan egypt so i really find it difficult for for the United States to go after jordan and egypt at this point time when it needs them the most and i just you know let me just add a bit of apprentices to this in just a few days maybe a few weeks were going to see the americans coming out with with a peace settlement and that peace Settlement Initiative is going to deed egypt and jordan and i think its going to have an element or two that Prime Minister netanyahu is not going to is going to be against and were going to up to a real theatrical where i think trump is going to say you see i also have a problem with Prime Minister netanyahu and i think here egypt and jordan will step in and probably try to bridge between palestinians israelis americans or so forth its going to be muddy be that as it may the United States still needs its allies i think as much as its allies needs its Interesting Times its always good to interpretation on the show i thank you very much thank you. The u. N. Tribunal for the for me of the obvious closing its doors a ceremony was held in the hague on thursday and was attended by the u. N. Secretary general and ten you get terrorists and the dutch king William Allen found the closure marks the end of nearly twenty five years of investigations and prosecutions related to the breakup of yugoslavia in the one nine hundred ninety s. The tribunal has been praised for making important contributions to the development of International Law but as David Chaytor reports some victims in sarajevo say the court has failed to bring them justice. Yes saddam is one of the estimated thirty thousand women who were brutalized in the socalled rape factories run by bosnian serb forces during the conflict. The soldier told me to take my clothes off i refused he aimed a gun at my head to mock me and three me on the bed. The International Criminal tribunal for former yugoslavia has now being closed leaving massada and the majority of other victims like her without any justice or chance of returning to a normal life. To agree to not tell you the man who did this to me go to way he left the country and went to serbia he keeps coming back to me all the time in my chair my go to sleep with this criminal every night and wake up with him. Some of the victims have reported seeing the man who raped them walking freely in the streets around them without an apparent care in the world they being given a life sentence of psychological trauma. The International Community has spent decades and millions of dollars in his pursuit of the most notorious of the war criminals here so many others though equally guilty and from all sides involved in the conflict have escaped justice. And as not to which means. It means a lot for the victims that the court has established the facts and the main perpetrators but in just a couple of days after the emotion settles down over the verdict they will find that their everyday lives havent changed a bit. Bizarre to build up the courage to return to the house where she was raped she hoped seeing where all have fear and horror came from would purge it from her mind but now she knows only bringing justice and punishment to her rapist will let her begin to heal David Chaytor aljazeera sorry.
