President says the people have sent a message to the world after separatist parties claim victory in the Regional Elections. Hello and welcome to aljazeera live from my headquarters and. Also ahead. For the. Palestine praises countries who voted for a u. N. Resolution calling on the u. S. To drop its recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. President claims to parliament not to impeach him over corruption allegations led to a wider scandal a bassman merica and as the uns war crimes tribunal for the former yugoslavia finally shots and still was some victims of justice have come to an end. We begin in spain where separatist parties in catalonia are claiming victory after the Regional ElectionPro Independence parties looks set to win a majority of seats in parliament the single Biggest Party is likely to be pro unionist bought it wont be able to form a Ruling Coalition the results are a blow to spains Prime Minister mariano to hoard who had hoped to stall the rise of party seeking independence deposed president carter has pushed him out gave this reaction in brussels where hes in selfimposed exile. Lost of the spine you know asked that the Spanish State has been defeated roy and his allies have lost and has got a slap in the face from the citizens of catalonia today rouhani has sunk the three parties. Are not in any way behind the Political Party to paper with these results in hand the situation needs to be rectified to be fixed we want you to rectify all those people you have hurt lets go to our correspondent penn hall now he is at the Secessionist Party headquarters in barcelona the procession bloc one an absolute majority and how people feeling there. When i think people that the celebration to be honest hasnt really lost it that long here lizabeth Party Supporters of now headed home i think what theyre doing is both doing the mathematics on this but also thinking about what lies ahead they have scored a victory but they do know that the fight is far from over you have to take a look really the Bigger Picture here yes it is true that the procession parties have renewed their overall majority in the capital and parliament and that certainly is a victory for them what they will need to do individually over the next few days know for the next two or three weeks is to talk to one another and see how they can resolve some of their internal disagreements on how they plan to move ahead with their stated goal of setting up a breakaway republic here in catalonia because that is the issue that set them on the collision course with the Spanish Government in the first place this of course is a defeat for the spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy he made a very personal political bet on trying to defeat the Independence Movement by calling these snap elections that has failed does that mean then he will then try to negotiate with this assertion Party Parties all. Does it mean he will try and deepen his crackdown with more arrests and more threats perhaps to even dissolve the new parliament and then of course there is the pro Unionist Party the Citizens Party which has emerged as the Single Largest Party after these elections now that is a new development however we knew from the outset that the this election was not about the Biggest Single Party but it was very much about building coalitions and so what is clear here is that the process parties at least in theory have the numbers to build a controlling coalition of the capital and parliament and what that means in practice is that spains political turmoil is far from over and there but there are so many questions remaining how will the procession and process session ists be able to form a coalition do you think there was some tension harsh words between former president his vice president. Who cares recently and then ward collis pushed him on to come back to spain and lead the Movement Risk being arrested. Well you hit the nail on the head there because if you just look at the theory if you just look at the mathematics of this yes the process ocean parties could build a coalition but when you look at the legal issues when you look at the whole term all surrounding these elections issues rightly say there are at least four candidates of the process parties who are currently in jail facing rebellion charges there are many more candidates who are out on bail right now pending trial again on rebellion charges that could put them in prison for more than thirty years and youve also got a group of five other candidates including the former head of the capitol in parliament carlos who tomorrow in selfimposed exile in brussels if he tries to come back if he crosses the border back into spain he will almost certainly be arrested immediately this throws up so many questions for the Spanish Government for their cattle and for the cattle and parliament as well questions really have not been answered in spain before were moving into uncharted territory but what i can tell you for sure is the turmoil is going to rumble on elizabeth or for now that is how pinhole joining us live from barcelona thank you very much. Right lets move on to other news now in the United NationsGeneral Assembly has voted by a huge majority to declare the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem as israels capital null and void one hundred twenty eight states voted for the nonbinding resolution with just nine against and thirty five abstentions countries that sided with america to vote against the resolution where israel guatemala honduras Marshall Islands micronesia no to pullout and togo well the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Had warned that shed be taking names of states which had against washington stance mike hanna has more from the u. N. In new york. The two thirds majority has comfortably reached the spoke to a sweeping repudiation of President Trumps unilateral action in recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel the result heralded by the apparent isolation of the u. S. Delegation in the chamber and the enthusiastic welcome given to the palestinians. Whose foreign minister addressed the assembly and insisted that jerusalem would be the capital of a palestinian state mr Merrill Young we need today not because of any animosity towards the u. S. But because of its decision which constitutes an aggression on the genuine a natural rights of the Palestinian People to the city of jerusalem the israeli ambassador holding up a two thousand year old coin as evidence of israels claim to the city it proves the ancient connection of the jews to do with a limb and togo one dearest sent guatemala to join the six nations that had voted against a similar resolution affirming jerusalem status last month and the number of abstentions increased from nine to thirty five the spec haps a result of the threats made by the us to retaliate financially against those who voted in favor this is bullying and this jumble will not bow to the duck it is unethical who think that works and dignity off Member States are for sale let me put it in these three we will not be intimidated you can be strong but if this doesnt make you right dismissive u. S. Reaction during the Turkish Foreign minister speech and the ambassador once again adopted a threatening tone in her response the United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the Worlds Largest contribution to the United Nations there are questions now about the future of u. S. Led attempts to renew negotiations particularly as the palestinian leadership insists it will not talk to u. S. Representatives in the light of President Trumps decision the u. S. Ambassador claimed the vote could determine the way in which u. S. Citizens view the United Nations in reality though the result reflects a global condemnation of President Trump his strategy and his policies mike hanna aljazeera United Nations well meanwhile israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called the u. N. Vote propose stress in fact President Trump israel completely rejects posterous was a dressing room is our capital always was always will be. But i do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd so i appreciate that and especially i want to again express our thanks to President Trump and those who do only for their store difference of israel and theres a difference of the truth im extremely encouraged that the vast majority states of the members of the United NationsGeneral Assembly did not succumb to american blackmail and did not accept that. They stood up for justice for the rule of law and for what is right but lets get more on this now with our correspondent rosalind jordan who is joining us live from washington d. C. How serious roles do you think those threats that weve heard so much about what President Trumps threats of caution Financial Aid to the now one hundred twenty eight countries that voted for the resolution against the u. S. Cutting aid to the u. N. Itself. Well elizabeth the probably is best to interpret these comments coming both from the president and from the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. As basically stoking of support among the conservative Republican Base here in the United States although it is worth pointing out that some you when reporters are now was saying that apparently nikki haley the u. S. Ambassador is going to hold a thank you were sumption for those countries that voted against this resolution in the u. N. General assembly on thursday some time early in two thousand and eighteen but the more serious threats about cutting funding both to the United Nations as well as to individual countries that voted for this resolution that is going to be much more difficult thats because one the u. S. As a member of the United Nations has agreed to a funding formula which it has to basically abided by and if it doesnt pay its dues it can find itself an able to vote both in the General Assembly and more important in the Security Council and its not clear that the United States really wants to give up that sort of political leverage and as a clear of all is that the. This move that is to please a conservative or to win support among them all on conservative base evangelicals as one that will pay off for President Trump i mean how is it being viewed there. Well this story isnt getting as much attention as you might expect in the United States but thats largely because of other news events mainly the debate over tax reform in the efforts to fund the federal government these are things that are happening at this hour as we speak and so people are much more focused on how these moves are going to affect their personal Financial Budgets its also four days before christmas here in the United States as around the world and most people are now focused on start their. Holiday and so theyre not paying the close attention that people in israel in the occupied territories and across the middle east are paying attention to this story certainly the news media is paying attention but ordinary americans really are focused on other issues and when you consider the Political Climate here in the United States and that in recent elections the Republican Party has suffered some pretty substantial losses it might just be that once people start paying more attention in two thousand and eighteen they may not be persuaded by the trumpet ministrations defense of israel that this is something that they should continue to vote for when the midterm Congressional Elections come up next november thank you for putting out all of that into context for us frost that saw. And join in joining us live from washington d. C. Thank you right now where congress is debating whether to remove president. From office his opponents are trying to impeach him for allegedly receiving illegal payments from the brazilian construction giant depression. Says has a. New general elections if he is forced out lets go live to the capital lima now cost fondant money on a fond chance as therefore as one of the chances. I think the chances are. Very high. Theres a lot of speculation about the bolts. The. That the Majority Party in congress apparently has been able to secure eighty five volts they need eighty seven to remove the president but still we need to see what. The faction of the left in party will say because this left Left Wing Party promoted the the motion to impeach the president and now they are calling the move a congressional we will have to wait and see what they say and how they vote but still we will have to wait to hear at least fifty more congress men that have not been able to speak just yet and so it is very possible that the bolt will not take place today it may be postponed for friday elizabeth or money on a thank you very much for that for now thats money on the francesca covering that vote in the Peruvian Congress for us thank you. To the head on alex the cholera epidemic in yemen reaches a million cases in just nine months and thousands forced from their homes in southern cameroon as the government tries to bring on the rest on the control.

Comedy aljazeera at an.

N. Resolution banning nearly ninety percent of Petroleum Exports to north korea health care it has this update. 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 there were 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 now the u.

This saga is one of the estimated thirty thousand women who were brutalized in the socalled rape factories run by bossy and 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.

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 while theyve been 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 theres not too with me. 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. But start 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.
