S. U. N. And e. U. Sanctions after conducting nearly touching several nuclear and missile tests this year to draw widespread condemnation mike hanna has more from the u. N. In new york. Well what has been a sometimes divided year for the Security Council draws to an end with a display of unity the resolution on north korea tightening sanctions passed unanimously and tighten the sanctions it does theres a massive reduction in the amount of refining the fuel that is north korea would be allowed to import also or trouble bairn an asset freeze on a number of individuals and one entity the north korean army well this resolution followed intense talks between the United States russia and china to ensure that all were in agreement with the text today for the tenth time this council stand united against a north korean regime that rejects the pursuit of peace the camera seen continues to defy the resolutions of this council the norms of civilized behavior and the patience of the International Community their arrogance and hostility to anything productive has set their country on a destructive path the resolution also did not rule out dialogue committing members to pursuing the Six Party Talks north korea south korea japan the u. S. Russia and china coming together in some form of dialogue the u. S. Still insisting though that there must be a sustained to say sion of north Korean Missile development before discussions can commence russia and china for their part within the meeting insisting that there should be some kind of quid pro quo shown by south korea and the u. S. Perhaps suspending their ongoing joint military exercises nonetheless the Security Council coming to agreement a unanimous vote at the end of the year. Our reporters have been covering this story develop a Parliament Give us reaction from hong kong but first were joined by florence in cell unfroze what says south korea been saying about this. Well south korea has through its Foreign Ministry put out a statement to say its ports and welcomes this latest round of sanctions calling it an indication that the world will never accept north Koreas Nuclear and Missile Program but its also urging dialogue as the way forward now carrillo relations between the two koreas have been at their lowest point in decades previous administrations have taken a more hardline approach when it came to dealing with north korea and they were more willing to use punitive measures but the new president mungy in who took office in may has a more left leaning liberal view now hes urging dialogue as a way forward now on south korea is also keen to not heighten tensions on the Korean Peninsula because it hosts the two thousand and eighteen Winter Olympics in february and the speculation that tensions on the Korean Peninsula have played a part in keeping spectators away in ticket sales are still low so korea while south korea while it supports International Pressure on north korea in the form of sanctions is a dialogue as the way forward take a listen to what the south Korean Ambassador to the u. N. Had to say sanctions are not an end in themselves but an effective means to bring those green back on the train for peaceful diplomatic and Political Solutions however narrow and bumpy in may be the lord to world peace rootin new clothes nation through dialogue is still open and available. And how is north korea likely to react to this latest round of sanctions where we can take a look at how its reacted in the past now north korea had previously said that these sanctions will only harden its resolve and accelerate its Nuclear Development program and in august when the u. N. Security Council Voted to ban north korean exports of coal iron and seafood among other things north korea responded by conducting a Hydrogen Bomb test in september than when the u. N. Security council launched another imposed another round of sanctions this time by calling on inspections of ships coming to and from north korea north korea responded by launching a missile test in november weve not yet had an official reaction from north korea we can expect one put out through state media perhaps in a day or two but we can also expect to hear from north Korean Leader kim jong il and in self whos made it a tradition to deliver a new years day speech ok florence thanks very much for joining us from seoul of course over now to hong kong where we can join to go Parliament Area china vote is perhaps surprisingly in favor of these sanctions but its fully on board. Thats right laura china has put its full weight behind these sanctions although reportedly the u. S. Had negotiated with china before putting this resolution on the table but the fact that china has agreed so all the points that are are on the table now is very significant for one thing chinas agreement will have the biggest blow to north korea in the sense that china used to be north koreas biggest ally and the fact that china perhaps indirectly supported north Koreas Nuclear program for one thing all the Foreign Workers in north korea that had are mostly in china the hard currency they send back pays for that Nuclear Program and also the fuel supplies thats a big thing because china is the main supplier of fuel to north korea and for years they havent been transparent about how much they were actually supplying now theyre agreeing to be open about how much i stand in north korea and cutting back the amount of fuel this much is a big step now china has top short of halting all fuel supplies saying that that would lead to a collapse in regime and its something they definitely do not want as it could escalate the conflict and that is definitely something they do not want heres what the Chinese Ambassador to the u. N. Said. On the d. P. R. K. Is continuing to conduct Nuclear Tests and missile launches in defiance of the universal opposition by the International Community the parties concerned have continued to expand military exercises and in scale up their own shows of force deescalation of tension on the peninsula which has reached a point of risking spiraling out of control is not in the interests of any parties. Palestinian president has declared hell no longer accept the United States as mediator in the middle east Peace ProcessMahmoud Abbas was speaking whilst meeting french president emmanuel. But the leader called for europe to play a stronger role in peace efforts as a butler reports from paris. It was no surprise that the Palestinian Leader greeted the french president warmly as he arrived at the elise a palace emanuel mark karr has been a staunch critic of the United States decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel after talks on the crisis Mahmoud Abbass said the palestinians could no longer accept a u. S. Peace plan. The United States is no longer a credible mediator in the Peace Process we will not accept any plan on the part of the us because of the parties and failing and because of this violation of international law. Mccraw has stepped up efforts to mediate in the crisis meeting with the king of jordan and israels Prime Minister earlier this month he wants to try and help revive talks but he has ruled out unilaterally recognizing palestine as the state saying it would be unhelpful at this time these americans and the americans have marginalized themselves and im trying not to do the same thing i think frances credibility lies in taking a position as we have today where we can talk to everyone Emanuel Michael says hes using frances position as a country that has good relations with all sides to try and help and with the palestinians no longer considering the u. S. As an honest broker it could leave the door open for france to play a greater role. And clicking through what weve seen as a manual macro getting really involved even of this is a very sensitive situation is much at stake frances position is difficult but macron really looking to restore the opposition runs once ahead and put it on the National Stage much the decision by the u. S. On driessen continues to draw International Condemnation thursday more than one hundred twenty countries including france back to u. N. Resolution demanding washington withdraw its decision and across the world politicians continue to voice their concern. Japan supports the position that the conflict between israel and palestine should be resolved between them including the issue of the final status of jerusalem. Great importance to the palestine issue because with things palestinians also absolute rights to establish their own country. Lazer the Prime Minister led a protest in the administrative capital putrajaya on the. Macro says he has no plans for a French Peace Initiative he says hes waiting to see what the u. S. Has to offer but with the palestinians ruling out washingtons unfoldment france and the European Union could be called upon to fill the gap. Aljazeera paris at least two Palestinian Protesters have been killed by Israeli Forces and more violence over the us decision its the third friday of protests in palestinian territories malcolm webb has more from gaza. The after friday prayers hundreds gathered it to street rallies here in the gaza strip this one leaders of the Islamic Jihad faction told supporters that buys days motion at the Un General Assembly denouncing trumps recognition of to reach them with the capital of israel was a partial victory just god that over the victory shows how much the International Community hates us americans and injustice it was important but we should not be deceived and the movement should continue the divider because the u.

Spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy has rejected an offer by alstad catalan present. To meet following action but hes left the door open to possible future discussions three Pro Independence parties one seventy seats in the one hundred thirty five Seat Parliament but the pro Spain Citizens Party won the highest number of seats with thirty seven it means a slim and reduced majority for the Pro Independence partys. Reports from barcelona. When all sides claim victory who actually wins its a question catalans are asking themselves today winning thirty seven problem and three seats thats looming is Biggest Single Party is now the Citizens Party approved unity leader in this case. But the three main suspicion is parties together seventy seats they hold the parliamentary majority. Canceller me is deposed president carlos priest a man celebrated in brussels where hed fled to avoid arrest on sedition charges and hes made a new offer to the government in madrid and i get sent leaders. That im willing to meet Prime Minister ahoy in brussels or any other european state that is in spain for obvious reasons im willing to do it so that we can address this new political era starting in catalonia spain and europe it is an era presided over by Political Solutions not by common repression that we find ourselves in right now. The response today from the Spanish Government suggests dialogue might just be possible that. The person i would need to sit down with is the winner of the election and thats mr. Wood i will make an effort to maintain a dialogue with whatever government comes out of these elections but as ive said before i will also ensure that we follow the law. On polling day voters of all sides spoke to us about wanting a return to normality with the results now in a straw poll of barcelona citizens found dissatisfaction with the outcome. Without favoring one side or another i think theyve hurt catalonia a lot with this independence issue. I think that the Citizens Party which one doesnt represent the majority of catalans i think the majority of people favor the probably independence party. I dont think its a good result lift us parties have been marginalized and i dont see a solution for the differences between two clear blocks. So for now the spotlight appears to be on the attitude of the new Catalan Government i would say they will slightly step back this doesnt mean that they will wait and renounce today independence more but they will i think they got off the road first because they were slightly less than fifty percent of the vote and they think thats important sank on because theyre hard line by the Chinese Government and this elections are produced a rather messy outcome with both sides able to take positives from the results but neither side able to land the kind of knockout blow that they might have hoped for everything now depends on the secessionist bloc and whether they will choose confrontation with madrid or compromise hope brennen aljazeera barcelona.
