President Donald Trumps decision to recognize to roussillon as its capital Israeli Security forces have used tear gas water cannon to Disperse Protesters on the streets of the west bank conflicting claims to jerusalem are at the core of the Israeli Palestinian conflict a trump has ignored International Warnings by recognizing it as israels seat of government saying it is time for a new approach. Kramer is following events from jerusalem and joins us now tania tell us a little bit more about these clashes which we were just witnessing there. Yes theyre just reported all over the occupied west bank in bethlehem in hebron in the south and also in towns in the north also in gaza along the fence that closes the gaza strip and also some clashes here in East Jerusalem these are usually the friction points you know between Palestinian Protesters and the israeli army in the west bank or over the Border Police in these two resulin now the person read question has said that there are reports from injuries from rebel. Jiggers and rubber bullets in addition to that theres also a general strike in the major towns here to protest this decision by the u. S. President and we understand that even bigger clashes may be ahead tell us a little bit more about that. Yes certainly is red will be on high alert in the coming days especially all eyes will be on friday for the friday prayers and everybody is bracing for a fall out of this decision i mean we dont know really yet what will happen. Especially in these two after the pray Prayer Services you know theyre expected that there might be clashes between Palestinian Protesters are coming back from praying and the Israeli Security forces here but you know theres still a sense of uncertainty how big this will become and what happened and just to tell our viewers youre looking at live pictures there coming in from bethlehem where as you can see a little bit of a fire is raging you see Israeli Forces there on the streets earlier we saw them shooting rubber bullets as well tanya just tell us the likelihood that this violence could escalate well i mean we heard the hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh speaking this morning in gaza and he called to long intifada an uprising against israel against also does to protest this decision by the u. S. The question is what will be really the response on the streets now were seeing already clashes today but how big will this become you know organize this will become and i think also the palestinian leadership on both sides hamas and fatah as theyre also under pressure because they have been fighting each other for the past and use it didnt deliver nothing as well to their people so its a question youre only the next days will tell us how big this will become this will become and if this call for a third intifada to be headed by the people.

Hot dry winds have been fanning massive wildfires in Southern California the blazes have destroyed hundreds of homes so far and are threatening thousands more firefighters are battling to get the fires under control and reach the hardest hit areas so that they can assess the damage it is a decisive day for germanys efforts to end the countrys political deadlock the social democrats are holding a Party Conference and have to decide whether to open talks on extending the governing coalition with chancellor Angela Merkels conservative a speedy chairman martin shots at initially ruled out doing so after poor results of the general election but has changed course since then. In a speech at the conference schultz apologized for the devastating defeat that the social democrats suffered at the polls and said that the party had lost its course during the last few years hes standing for reelection as party chief. Fitted sure something is also also responsible for our party we are responsible for what has happened we cant blame it on uncle america or the grand coalition the neo liberals or the media we are the ones to blame we have to reinvent ourselves them we will become strong again we are going to start. For more lets bring in our Political CorrespondentThomas Carroll who is standing by with the very latest from that s. P. V. Party convention we just heard a bit of schulzs speech there tell us how have his words gone down and what are his chances of convincing Party Members to opt for Coalition Talks. He apologized but we just. Missed the shows started to talk about shaping policy asking delegates asking Party Members also to be brave and that was in a way how he introduced his proposal to be able to have talks open talks as he put them with the conservatives to see whether there is a possibility of forming a new grand coalition he phrased it in a way that made it clear that it is not an automatic decision that they will join a grand coalition he mentioned the possibility of having open and date talks open results so thats the way asked and he presented his proposal the proposed that will also be debated here later today how it came down to where some members of the favor thats why did talking not least to the conservatives something that they should recuse off the german president but this time i asked mr schultz of those so there are those who say that the coalition should be rejected from the start that they may be willing to go into negotiations but that those negotiations should make clear that the social democrats will no into their will not enter a new round when they. Come out in the case that the Party Decides not to take up Coalition Talks which has im going michael sitting there what is that likely to mean for scholz and has the leadership there the party. Why would such a be the moment for mr shows especially after what were hearing just now when hes asking about this possibility of having this open talks there are however all the possibilities where the s. P. D. The social democrats could play a role in a future government for example if theres a Minority Coalition a minority government led by the conservatives where the social democrats play a minor role for example by tolerating certain proposals in areas so thats Something Else thats being discussed here and thats one of the reasons why martin shows said that the results all. The rope on the floor to dos but now the tell it got support is to have those talks in the conservative vote their proposals on areas like europe will social justice even watch the stock form the s. P. D. Might not join another government now hes just wrapped up his speech and as we can hear resoundingly applause there for whatever it is that he was saying so perhaps thats a bit of a gauge also in terms of his support among Party Members if they do indeed vote for a new grand coalition where im going marco see to give c. S. U. Is this just business as usual tomas. Writes not unusual you mention the up close yet not unusual that progeny leaders when they do these. Speeches get this round of applause at the end although it is obviously important to stress that this is being a quite a long route over those now you ask about what they will be business as usual that Something Else starts all the Party Leaders have addressed saying if we join it that it could be business as usual they have to be changes for example when it comes to europe most social europe reforms in europe you also mentioned the environment you also mentioned social topics whereas employment talk pages the thing that got so it was a clear message from opt in she was saying even if we join something thats being discussed now they dont want it to be business as usual business as it was four years ago Thomas Barrow and peter headquarters thank you. Its time now for Business News with chris tucker who joins us here on the set and were talking a little bit more about volkswagen an employee is going to jail over days ok thats right sara the second one actually over these the gate scandal and it is a hefty sentence seven years behind bars thats the price all of us mint has to pay for lying to consumers is false flag and Senior Executives also find four hundred thousand dollars over his role in the companys massive emissions cheating scandal as requested by prosecutors both penalties represent the maximum that the u. S. Court could have handed down. This wednesday was perhaps the worst day of all of a smiths life the engineer sentenced to seven years in prison the toughest possible sentence for perpetrating fraud against consumers he was emotional he apologized he regrets his decisions he said he takes responsibility its his fault. Schmidt was responsible for us environmental matters at v. W. From twenty twelve until twenty fifteen the time that folks wagon admits to manipulating emissions tests using software loaded into its cars. He knew about the test manipulation and testified in court that he simply followed orders the judge ruled that without doubt the v. W. Board shared responsibility for the scandal prosecutors said schmidt was in the same room as the c. E. O. They all worked on their stories that they would tell viewer thora teams.

Were just receiving reports that General Electric is to slash Twelve Thousand jobs from its power generating business thats more than originally anticipated its part of the firms major restructuring in a bid to shore up its finances the industrial corroborative recently announced it would cut the dividend to shareholders the first time it has done so since the Great Recession and now back to sarah in their store a trip of the turkish president absolutely hes in fact heading to greece it turns out that he is the first leader actually turkish leader to head to greece in sixty five years turkish president Erica Wanless official visit to the capital athens he has apparently met with Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras there to discuss relations between the neighboring countries both are members of nato but the relationship has been rocky for decades occasionally even going to the brink of war and greece and turkey have tried to normalize relations in recent years there are so thorny issues to resolve. Greek turkish relations have been tense if not adversarial for decades the two countries have disagreements over three major issues the island of cyprus control of parts of the aegean sea around the two countries and recently the migration crisis. Cyprus was granted independence from the british in one nine hundred sixty years of violence between the islands greek and turkish communities followed. When greek nationalists tried to unite cyprus with mainland greece in one thousand nine hundred seventy four turkey invaded and captured land in the north. Today the two halves of the island a still separated. Turkish Northern Cyprus is recognized only by turkey the republic of cyprus and the island south is an e. U. Member state protected un buffer zone keeps them apart greece and turkey are also at loggerheads over the aegean sea located between the two countries theyve been contesting sovereignty and other rights in the area since the one nine hundred seventy s. Tensions have run so high since then that the dispute has twice almost led to the outbreak of military hostilities. The migration crisis has further strain ties between the two countries greece and turkey have become the landing point for many migrants hoping to reach europe from africa and the middle east a deal between turkey and the e. U. To return refugees that arrive from the greek coast has helped ease tensions but a long list of grievances remain. And for more lets bring in correspondent and the car star who is standing by with the latest from there we just heard about that while the list of grievances given that what the greats make of this visit. Well on the face of it the greek government wants to build bridges as it says with its. Traditional adversaries so we are going to be hearing a lot of talk about bringing these two countries together with more commercial truck ties potential travel between the two countries but there are as you say longstanding differences the government doesnt expect these differences to be settled in the next twenty four hours during the talks here with reject i don but in fact they are now shocked with some controversial statements which the turkish president made just before coming here namely he has contested yet again this agreement between greece and turkey outlining their borders hes also come down very hard on the greek Prime Minister for not handing over eight turkish servicemen who fled to greece last year after a coup so this is put the government in a very awkward position here and we may be seeing a bruising encounter in the next kind of day or or so because of these controversial statements but i mean ultimately the hope was to have an improvement in relations there how will a sick is that prospect would you say. Well absolutely i mean as i said before the greeks do want to see a continued discussion between greece and turkey despite these lingering differences they also were hoping to kind of help turkey kind of anchor its way back to the west as it as weve seen it kind of drift more towards russia and iran and we were expecting some some some strong support from the greeks to to to the turks to kind of bring them back within the european realm were their designs to join the European Union but all of that remains to be seen and well be getting more on that correspondent and the chorus of a thank you we have now to thailand in the case of an eighty four year old historian who has been charged with calling into question the heroic actions of a king who lived five hundred years ago ty law prescribes harsh punishment for criticizing the reigning king but critics say it should not apply it shouldnt apply so far back into history. Facing up to fifteen years in jail for questioning the feats of a sixteenth century king eighty four year old historian so lax of iraq is charged under thailand strict code in less may just laws protecting the money from defamation the alleged crime suggesting that a famed jewel an Elephant Back won by a thai king against a burmese prince five hundred years ago may not actually have happened. One must have a very good sense of humor. Because. If you cannot criticize history how could you be a human being. I criticize what happened quite an agenda but. The lesson just law doesnt appear to mention that monarchs but in practice the rules are interpreted more loosely critics say the law is more about controlling the countrys citizens than upholding the reputation of its monarchy now headed by newly crowned and controversial king. Long corn thailands ruling military government has pursued more than two hundred fifty cases since seizing power in a twenty fourteen coup supposedly to protect the king and his familys dignity. Of iraqs i got a temporary reprieve after a Time MilitaryCourt Delayed a decision on whether to prosecute him in order to consult historians my kids did not intend to go. To live with so much of the. Very she was actually. Before. That. Because he had been the preacher of time he was the only one. Who brought victoria but its come to that but you cannot touch him so he become god almighty in a country where insulting royals has recently seen people sent to jail for longer than if they had committed murder many fifa thailands political future if civil roxas prosecution goes ahead those worries could become even more urgent.
