Last week, the announcement recognizing jerusalem as the israeli capital provoked criticism around the world are in the decision upended seven decades of policy. The move was welcomed by benjamin netanyahu. He got stiff criticism from paris. Hed defended his position in brussels. I believe even though we dont have an agreement yet, this is what will happen in the future. I believe most of the European Countries will move their embassies to jerusalem and recognize it as the capital and engage robustly with us for security and prosperity and peace. Solution is based on two states with jerusalem the capital of both. It is our position and we will continue to respect the international concerns. Four more now from brussels, lets go to o to dave. Benjamin netanyahu was in paris and now in brussels. It he said he wants the eu to all of the u. S. Lead and recognize jerusalem as israels capital. It does not seem like thats going to be an easy sell in brussels. Dave i think thats an unlikely prospect in the short term. This is an awkward relationship. You could see it in the body language. She pointed out that an en route israeli prime mr. Hasnt been here in 22 years. It was supposed to be a bilateral and the others joined on. It was an awkward relationship. We have not seen any movement from any eu countries to recognize all of jerusalem as israels capital. Even the Czech Republic is limiting their recognition. Macron talked about freezing settlement construction in the west bank. Will they push that agenda . Read thats going to be among the discussions today. They will be looking for some kind of reassurance. There is an assurance that with jerusalem,ition of they are kind of stepping back from their neutral role in the peace talks. This is an opening for the european union. I think france might be looking to get more involved in some of these issues. That will be on the table today. Genie dave keating reporting from brussels.

Youve been saying the russian president was in syria today to announce he is pulling out of syria. What role they played so far . Changeshere have been because of the role russia played since it entered the war. He talked about the Important Role that they have played in defeating the Islamic State. They played a role in the groups demise and the ancient city, the fight against isis wasnt led by russia. It was a complicated international campaign. You had russian and u. S. Planes bombing isis on opposing sides. Where russia has played an instrumental role in this is on antiassad rebels. They undermined the idea they could form an opposition to replace sod. Assadad. That his help them very significantly. It was around this time last year that the eastern part of aleppo fell out of opposition hands. That was a real stronghold. It was the heart of the antia sonnet movement. Antiassad movement. This was because of Russian Aerial power. Celebration, he knows because of russia he is on the cusp of victory in syria. Genie now that the victory has been fully declared, what is russia hoping to do now . Is it keeping the king in place .

Vladimir putin said he wants to kickstart peace talks are at russia has established a rival set of peace negotiations to the u. N. Geneva talks. They are been trying to lead diplomatic efforts. Russias goal is to get assad Strong Enough so he can be willing to participate. Togime has climbed 2 participate because they knew they were not in a Strong Enough as it should. In the last two years because of russia, they are much more interested in trying to find a diplomatic solution to the war. There is a sea change among western leaders. Dhey used to say that assa himself needs to go. The status quo has changed. It is unrealistic that he will leave. We may see more russian aspects to get the talks going. Sads future is not in doubt. You also see its diplomatic prowess. They have been sidelined while you have this russian, iranian, syrian block emerging that will shape the future of syria.

Leaders and officials are meeting at the French Finance Ministry to globalize the french financial system. To tomorrow. Y up day,ore on World Finance we are joined in the studio by brett fleischman. Thank you for coming in. Setnd us what goals were and where are we now . Brett thank you for having me. The big finance was a mechanism to help the global selloff, reduce emissions, adapt costs. It was the Green Climate find. It set a goal of 100 billion a year by 2020. That fund is about 10 funded. There are issues. The u. S. As you know committed 3 billion. Was delivered by the obama administration. Trop stepped in and the rest is history. Brian they are shifting to a clean energy system. Where does that figure come from . How much is public, how much is private . Brett the number we most vocus on from a grassroots perspective is the amount of money the institutions and government will be investing in fossil fuels. Number of Clean Energy Investment is only in relation to the amount of money invested in fossil fuels. If we keep pumping money in the wrong direction, any capital deployment or Renewable Energy is dragging a ball and chain. Brian we see volkswagen offering all electric models by 2030, teslas big power plant in australia. We have a list of natural gas projects coming out in russia. Is there risk that comes with investing in fossil fuels at this point if transportation and home energy shifts to renewables . Brett absolutely. We are looking at this as a science and energy blend. Initiative,racker they showed the 15 largest infrastructure projects, 16 of them were at risk or above the limit. That equaled 280 billion of stranded assets. Is in the fossil fuel fuel. It is not in the solutions pool. Brian you have norway shifting investments out of fossil fuels. They are giant producer themselves. Even the saudis are diversifying their economy or looking too. Is there a divestment trend . Brett i would not call it a trend, just a new standard. Have to address carbon risk now. It is at the board level. Everyone is having a conversation. There are over 800 Institutional Investors that have committed to some level of fossil fueled investment. They are not letting in whole coal. Just two weeks ago, there was an announcement at the board level that they are looking at a portfolio, having set a screen on coal. Much. Thank you so the one planet summit is tomorrow. There will be a close i kept on this. Genie thanks to you as well. It is time now for our press review. We have our look at the papers. The conflict continues to make headlines. Benjamin netanyahu was in paris this weekend and in brussels today. Cames informal breakfast on the heels of a stop in paris. That meaning is making frontpage news. Because the cover conservative israeli paper has chosen not to focus on the tensions in the meeting and how macron called for answers. He said he wont be taking the lead as the main negotiator in peace talks. Thats an interesting twist. It puts a positive spin on things. The u. S. Is Still Holding on to its role as the main peace negotiator and partial peace negotiator. For the jerusalem post, thats a good thing, even if the impartiality is long gone. It is even more so now that donald trump made his announcement. Genie the israeli paper is focusing on france and israel. France could be taking a more active role in peace negotiations and paris is active in the middle east. They might do the same thing with the israelipalestinian conflict area macron pushed netanyahu to explain his intentions in east jerusalem. The palestinians say that as their capital. Genie palestinians are making headlines today. Between rage and resignation, that is the cover of the lebanese paper. The beirutbased paper says even a protests continue, they are not as widely followed as some expected. Resignation has worn out over rage. Their journalists say that is because of an increasing distrust of the Palestinian Authority and its leader. The real loser of the announcement is abbas. He needs to speed up conciliation if he wants to reconciliation if he wants to regain the trust of palestininis whwho were worn out byby the violence and the lack of leadership. Genie the New York Times is looking at this. While it happen if the Palestinian Authority collapsed . They have good explainers on the issue. And hypothesizes that if the palestinian hority collapses, police peace would be unlikely. The paper says israel would have to choose between being a jewish state or a democratic one. The times says thats because palestinians would not have a state and would eventually be entirely under israeli rule. Genie lets move to french politics. Voted the head of the main conservative Opposition Party. He is all over the french papers this morning. Nearly 100,000 Party Members voted yesterday for him. They backed the 42yearold. That is more than the party expected. Its a real win or the senator. There will be no doubt that he has a legitimacy of the right party. Thats a change. The party has suffered from years of clinical infighting. Rivals received 16 and 9 of the vote, he has a real mandate. Genie it doesnt mean it will be smooth sailing for him. Politico, he is the bad boy of the right. He is a hard charging rightwinger. He needs to win back voters. He may do that. You may copy donald trump. You can see a cartoon of him with Donald Trumps shadow. He has been criticized for courting the far right, much like trump.
