And welcome to the aljazeera news hour live from our headquarters and the problem coming up for the next sixty minutes. Apart is wanting to break away from spain claim victory and caution on his Regional Elections we have the nation from barcelona. The world gives its verdict at the United Nations with a landslide vote against the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. Heroes president placed apology not to impeach him over corruption allegations but to a wider scale latin america and as the uns former yugoslavia war crimes tribunal finally shot since it was some victims believe their chance of justice have also come to an end. And we are taking you live to brussels now where we are hearing from the former president of. Lets listen then. You must know. Most of the Spanish State. Has been at them or least as we defeat it on. And hes. Lowest on the hof. A slab of their seats he says that on you know. If you. Today. The three parties that have won their elections of the month is what we are not. Any way. Behind the. Political party that. If it. Was with us is also in hand the situation. Needs to be rectified to be fixed if you will to be received this. Because of the statements but. We are waiting for that to rectify you know what we want to we want you to rectify all those people that you have heard. If you want to. Put back. The democracy the political. Element of that oh yeah we like all day i would. Not members of parliament. To be free. Right away. What mr hoist say today qatar. And what he explained in europe that we will work on them is no working at all right now things for de independent of got i dont you know its much better now than it was a few years back. We just got that oh yeah. We can now we ought to get the half one more seat in parliament. But women are not any im but if you mean if it was. And thats a situation we had we didnt have any previous legislation we can look at the law. And i say as. President of qatar and. Europe has to take note there i c b b is now working. Hard to change his recipe. To get out of it he has a chance recipe. A lot of the most i know are also those people. In europe that hostin back in europe will have to take note as well that god had learned people hostage to choose their solution to this problem problem and. Eastern europe and you know no recipe like this will ever work we need to look for solutions to. The conditions of or election campaign. Since independence has won their elections without any discussion whatsoever. And has done it with. Exceptional circumstances we remember so. So we have been listening there to the former president of caution on your colleagues perched on who is speaking from brussels because he of course had to leave the left barcelona shortly after that independence referendum which was declared unconstitutional by the Spanish Government he went to brussels to escape charges including a victorious collis pushed him on saying that Prime Minister the whore has sunk that the succession is blocked want to put democracy the heartland parliament back in place lets go to our correspondent paul brennan now he is joining us live from barcelona site of the secessionists bloc keep their majority in the selection. Yes its a complex one of the problems or one of the strengths i suppose of the electoral system when its proportional representation is that every single vote counts and you get parties which have anything over three percent are entitled to a seat in the council and parliament the downside of that is that you inevitably have a coalition is it becomes necessary in order to have a government what weve seen in the Regional Election thats taken place here in the past eleven hours is basically the Largest Party emerging and that is that there are norse and thats the sense or right pro union party loyal to madrid theyre going to get thirty six seats in the council on parliament Biggest Party but its a hollow victory for them because the procession is parties and im including colleagues bustamante party in that together their block is bigger and its going to. Able to command an overall majority if they can manage to join together their forces and form a coalition and from that point of view it means that its given colors push them on license to give what hes doing now which is a fairly combative confrontational speech from brussels from his selfimposed exile there to say look you know. The Prime Minister recoil in madrid cannot ignore anymore the wishes of the people ok october first he said was an illegal referendum this was a fully legal Regional Election and the results of it cannot be ignored and it will of course be very interesting to see what does will he come back to spain and risk being arrested on these charges we will get to all of that with our correspondent karl penhall who is with the process in this party in barcelona but before we do that paul where you you know the party with. Essentially the winner with the most votes what will the pro union parties do now then since they are actually on the losing side because of the system of parliament there. Well i mean it is our mother says the leader of. The party here has swept up and out addressed a crowd of faithful just on the opposite side of path a spaniard here this is the hotel where they were watching the results come in and she was praising the campaign saying that theyve been made able to secure victories in cities where they havent previously been able to secure victories you look at the statistics i mean in two thousand and fifteen they got just twenty well they got twenty five seats and now theyve got thirty six so from a purely Party Political point of view they have done extremely well but lets just say the victory is a hollow one because unfortunately for them they are unable to find partners to do a Coalition Deal with so although their vote has done extremely well in the campaign its done extremely well it is the process session is still going to hold sway what they do next well theyre going to form an effective opposition theyve held up their part of the democratic bargain if you like but its going to be a difficult road ahead because the confrontation is not going away paul thank you very much for that for now thats paul brennan joining us live lets go to pan hall hes at peace a session of the partys headquarters in barcelona so how are people feeling there col whats the mood there when most votes counted they keeping their majority. Well there have been celebrations him muted celebrations because perhaps the process session parties expected to do even better than they did do we always knew from the beginning this was not about the success of individual parties we always knew that this was going to be election about brocks and who could build a coalition and very firmly here the process session block has been returned asked the overall majority in parliament and in that sense what the in different approach to session parties are saying is that the spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy is a politico. The bet has absolutely backfired but to break it down i want to bring in gabrielle got a room hes a political scientist now at Kings College london how do you see the results breaking down here what is the message. Youve got to picture the macro picture in which the procession parties have worn a majority in seats and in votes then if you look at the First Political option in catalonia has been through which is a completely different political option and has one as well within that brought in votes and seats but then just minutes ago. Look. Here stride to destroy us but look theres a majority here in votes and seats for the process session parties therefore youve got to restore the. Parliament of go to restore the president the president and to make just a free all the political protest polarizing issue the key election issue was the issue of secession or an independent republic for catalonia or the process Session Partys going to push ahead with this thats one of the Big Questions ahead right because the far left process Session Party coop has only four seats that can make the lets say the secession project to make it slow it down because of the. The political side is completely different but of course for the spanish constitution blog this through the. Blog they dont have the capacity actually to articulate the government by themselves they need another things. This of course creates a possibility of a process session government but i think one that will take you know the stakes a bit a bit slow in the bed with more. Dialogue in a more relaxed way its going to be its really interesting for the other question of course. Says that at least four of the candidates are in prison right now many others have charges of rebellion hanging over them five are in selfimposed exile can they actually come back and take their seats in parliament are they going to be empty seats or will they simply not be able to make up the majority that they expected for that reason well this has been one of the main claims of the process throughout this campaign youve got a free all the Political Prisoners youve got to make the president a legitimate president calloused with the money to return. The see the president and im sure after this election you can see win of the block the first thing they will ask for will be the release of all the prisoners the return of color spitzer moen and because of the scale republican of the left this party within the in the president s rope is not the most voted option they will say to callers put them on and just part of the loop just go for the just go to for the lead and then allow come up with someone to come back and to form the government im sure is going to be the first thing they will ask many thanks gaboriau so there you have it i mean the votes are in the votes have been counted the mathematics will that has been done what now follows is negotiation perhaps confrontation almost certainly and what is even more certain and that is continued days months and and perhaps even longer of political turmoil elizabeth thank you very much for that for now that is karl penhall joining us with all the very latest from barcelona thank you. But were going to move on to some other news now the other top story 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 which is nine against. And thirty five abstentions countries that sided with america to vote against the resolution were israel on the us Marshall Islands micronesia no to palau and told all. Of the Us Ambassador to the un had warned shed be taking names of states which watch it against washington stance mike hanna has more from the United Nations in new york state the two thirds majority is comfortably reach this vote 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 meet 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 jewel to jerusalem 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 ministers 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 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. United nations well the palestinian chief negotiator condemned what he described as intimidation by the u. S. But says the u. N. Vote shows respect for the rule of law. Shame to those who stood shoulder to shoulder with occupation settlements against International Law and 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 the farsightedness International Law. And they really feel another way of the journey well meanwhile israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called the u. N. Envoy to propose this in fact President Trump israel completely rejects is preposterous it is a lose drucilla him as 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 the numbers are only for their store defense of israel and theres a difference of the truth. Lets bring in our correspondent rosalind jordan now she is joining us live from washington d. C. So now the yahoo saying he expects more embassies to move to jerusalem what about the possible break repercussions for us whats the feeling about the threats made by president trouble by ambassador haiti before the vote you know will they stick to their words are they serious will they cut Financial Aid to the one hundred twenty eight countries that had against them or to the u. N. Itself. Well elizabeth. Basically a lot of talk for design for a domestic audience and thats because the membership in the United Nations is essentially part of a treaty and the amount of money which the u. S. Pays in annual dues is something that is worked out in negotiation with the other members of the United Nations so if the u. S. Were to withhold any or all of its dues it could lose basically its Voting Rights not just in the General Assembly but potentially in the Security Council as well and because its one of the permanent members of the Security Council it would be very difficult to imagine that the trumpet ministration would actually put that kind of diplomatic leverage at risk the other part of the problem with the threats about tough perhaps cutting foreign aid to those countries that voted for this resolution in the General Assembly on thursday is that there are a number of u. S. Laws that basically mandate that because of relationships with these countries that the u. S. Has to was spend money and so the u. S. Congress would have to be persuaded to cut off funding it would be almost impossible to see for example that the u. S. Would stop its military aid to either egypt or to jordan or that it could stop any of its aid to the other countries that belong to nato whether its the United Kingdom or turkey these are things that it would be very difficult to persuade members of congress who do see the value in having these kinds of Strategic National security relationships they would want to see that ended in then theres also the subtext that a lot of the military spending that the u. S. Does with other countries basically supports the u. S. Defense industry and certainly those companies would not want to see that type of business go away so if everything that the president and the ambassador fads before they voted to move itself off the embassy to jerusalem as a domestic audience to the domestic base is how is all of this being period where you are in the state. Well it really is not top of mind here in the United States right now theres much more focus here in the u. S. R
