Hello im Maryam Namazie in london youre watching aljazeera also coming up the counting in catalonia without any results suggesting pro secession parties could be set to hold on to their majority in parliament who is president defends himself as he faces impeachment proceedings in congress. And the u. S. Imposes sanctions on those accused of Human Rights Violations against the ranger and others. Thanks for joining us our top story the United NationsGeneral Assembly has voted by huge majority to declare u. S. Recognition of jerusalem as israels capital knol and void hundred twenty eight members voted for the resolution with just nine against and thirty five abstentions countries who sided with america was israel guatemala honduras Marshall Islands micronesia now roup allow and togo reactions have been swift and uncompromising a spokesman for the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has called it a victory for palestine but israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is called the vote preposterous israel completely rejects ostracism drucilla him as our capital always was always will. But i do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd to appreciate that and especially when it gets worse our thanks to president from the numbers. For their store defense of israel and theres gold the firms of the truth its a deal shame to those who stood shoulder to shoulder with occupation settlements against International Law. And i do appreciate very much the majority of the International Community decided in spite of the threats and intimidation of the state to stand tall and to stand shoulder to shoulder with was them farsightedness International Law and the rule of law another rule of the jungle or u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Had warned that she would be taking the names of states which voted against washingtons position mike hanna has more from the United Nations in new york in the two thirds majority is comfortably reach this vote to were 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 meet today not because of any animosity towards the us but because of its decision which constitutes an aggression on the genuine and 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 jewel to jerusalem and togo one dearest said guatemala join the six nations that had voted against a similar resolution affirming jerusalem status last month. And a 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 jabber 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 the three we will not be intimidated you can be thrown but if this doesnt make you right dismissive us reaction during the Turkish Foreign ministers speech and the ambassador once again adopted a threatening tone in her response not in 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 whats 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 out his era United Nations where i spoke to Richard Ponzi director of just security twenty twentieths Stimson Center he said the lack of support from traditional allies shows the u. S. Has relinquished leadership on a critical issue. This is just another demonstration of the u. S. Not working not only with its traditional allies but working through multilateral bodies where in this National Security strategy it states it wants to have leverage viz a viz its adversaries in advancing its interests this is yet one more demonstration of relinquishing a area of critical leadership in the world one where just a few weeks ago the palestinians middle eastern allies they would not have wished for this action to have taken and thereby undermining the Important Role that the us can play in bringing the sides together to talk through these very sensitive and longstanding differences between the israelis and the palestinians. Or move to catalonia where partial results say that procession parties are on track to win an absolute majority in first a snap election more than seventy five percent of votes have been counted an early exit polls suggested pro unionist parties would fall short of the sixty eight seats needed for a majority in the Catalan Parliament if confirmed it means that spains worst political crisis in forty years is set to continue for brannan is with supporters of the prounion a Citizens Party in barcelona first its called pan hall whos at the election headquarters of the secessionist e r c party the results of theyve come in so as theyve come in so far karl what does this mean for the Pro Independence coalition. Theres certainly a little of a bit of a complex picture is emerging right now more than ninety three percent of the votes are now counted and as you rightly mention it does seem that the process session is blocked has renewed its majority in Catalan Parliament but it also seems that the pro unionist Citizens Party has emerging as the single largest single individual party but to break it all down a bit i want to bring in gabrielle got a room hes a political scientist currently at the War Studies Department of Kings College london so gabrielle weve got two pictures emerging here the big picture approach to session brought renewing its majority but a big victory as well for the Citizens Party what does it all mean in your view exactly the goal to initial readings of the process and block will say look we warned elections bills in boats and also in seats that then leave you zoom in a little bit then the you look at the First Political option has been through the one. Theres a completely different political politic of the completely different agenda that has one vote in the votes and in seats therefore if you want to articulate the government in catalonia route you will need to make it very difficult alignments because you also have the coup which is a very radical Procession Party that will that has to sustain the process of government thats going to be a very hard thing over also talking about earlier as well that there is not only at a high level of polarization across capital and society but also theres a big split the urban vote versus the rural vote how do you see that breakdown look traditionally urban bodes especially around boss alone have been socialist from the purcell which is the socialist party now all these votes have switched to through the banners and they actually have articulated the bigger majority they have worn in barcelona a gay version or not are going are there for the main Capital Cities in catalonia are actually voting for this part and this of course this this creates as you say a very polarized in territorial terms kountry which has different speeds which different political options very radical from one another theres also another picture here of course it was spanish Prime Minister mario monti enter a big bet to call snap elections here to dissolve the old capitol and parliament he was hoping that the process session parties would not renew their majority what is this going to mean for his mandate asked spanish Prime Minister lew the Popular Party house of tain the very tiny results of this election is only for for now only four seats this for him can be a huge feat but im sure the reading that he will articulate today or tomorrow will be like look a parole constitution approach remaining in spain party has. When the elections. In this case in as every mothers the leader of the us has the mandate of all the catalans who or to collate the new government this can be read the same as a victory for this block before him personally and for sparty this is a problem is the problem because he house burned all the options in catalonia just waiting for lets say a bigger majority in spain but here is a complete different picture thank you very much gabrielle so we can see then from there we see the figures emerging and certainly tonight we will get a definitive count of the percentage breakdown of the votes which parties have won most seats but what is going to happen over the next days possibly over the next three to four weeks is that it will be horse trading between these individual parties to see who can really consolidate a parliamentary majority and also what the implications of that will be both for the Secession Movement but also the movement of those who wish to remain part of spain my i am very magical and whole that set of core prana now because hes with supporters of the union a Citizens Party and so as karl was saying there it is a complicated picture with most of the votes counted it looks as though the Citizens Party might have the most seats but that doesnt mean theyll be able to govern. Its almost a hollow victory you know for the. For the Citizens Party were waiting to hear looks like the executives are coming out of their office where theyve been ensconced through the results watching the results come out and in a summary of the. Other mother is going to give an address to the Party Faithful theyve been embracing each other theyve been cheering and really happy as the results have been coming through as the percentage of votes counted past eighty and it was revealed that they have got thirty six seats in the catalan moments. But being the Biggest Single Party is not going to be enough to seize government its just not going to happen and so from that point of view despite the fact that the party has done extremely well in two thousand and fifteen remember they only got twenty five seats now with the likely outcome of thirty six seats from the one point of view its a stunning victory but its just not enough now and we will see what the leadership says about it whether they feel that theyve done the job theyve held up to their part of the democratic process theyve made it clear to the wider waterworld to spain in general im to europe the why do europe that catalonia is not just a single minded Pro Independence process session is a region but yeah i think theyll be a certain amount of disappointment changed with the happiness tonight thats right not the victory in unionists will have been hoping for all that they would have expected from this election thank you very much paul brennan there also in barcelona in watching aljazeera much more to come on the bosnian victims still waiting for justice as the u.
