Allies from saudi arabia to turkey to germany all condemning the u. S. President s move and from mr trump not a sound not even a tweet im burnt off in berlin this is the day. Im glad. I look at look at the intifada in the face of design in istana me. The american decision is a declaration of war against the Palestinian People shopping if it is the feel good in the heart of palestine jerusalem because. These are all messages to trump that what he did is an unacceptable crime to her through islam. A couple of the jewish state because its a myth we do not agree with the decision that was taken yesterday evening on commish the interest on. The murder should on an International Law being trampled on a little most of the time my ass waiter standing outside the old city of jerusalem arrests made today all over the region tensions are high and are expected to get higher. Over coming up Marriage Equality it is now the law of the land down under. Obviously impoundment has stood up and said what we knew the australian people wanted and was so proud i mean to say its an overwhelming moment im so proud of the striving. So we begin the day with the middle east are reeling in the rage twenty four hours after trump kept a Campaign Promise and gave his president ial up yours two decades of u. S. Policy on jerusalem violence has erupted along with pledges of even more violence today palestinians clashed with Israeli Soldiers in gaza and the west bank and hamas today called for a new intifada and uprising against israel saying that trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel is a declaration of war against the palestinians what does this look like on the ground we want to go now to jerusalem our correspondent why is waders on the story for us tonight good evening to you miles i mean theres a lot to talk about here i mean we heard that there that theres a switch in the mood to almost like turning off a light that plays after trumps speech yesterday have you since that change as well. I will say that behind me at the damascus just a few hours ago there were a lot of young palestinians coming out to very vocally and very passionately express their opposition to this declaration shouting things like jerusalem is arab jerusalem is a steady hand and death to israel it seems that some sort of underlying current of tension that really always exists here as just sort of the faucet has opened its just come rushing out we saw police arresting people some scuffles here but all in all really much more tame tense but tame and somewhat under control in comparison to what were expecting tomorrow you know what are we expecting tomorrow i mean tomorrow is friday it is one of the several days of rage that have been declared by palestinians is jerusalem bracing for more violence tomorrow. Well brett just before the sun went down here police were rather aggressively clearing out of the area behind me blocking off the entrance to the damascus gate really and what were thinking is an attempt to clear out the entire old city or at least a good portion of the old city and prevent people from going in there tomorrow in case shall we say mischief happens thats a light way of putting ads and were even thinking that they may shut down cellphone signal in this area to stop journalists and other people from communicating we have seen a lot more Police Presence in this area tonight that police are always around jerusalem there are sort of part of the scenery about weve seen mounted police intimidating people got out aggressive its aggressive tactics one man was injured and had to be taken away right in front of me things are tense and it really could pop off at any moment and we know that hamas is calling for another uprising third intifada we know that Mahmoud Abbas is asking people to remain call he is maneuvering now to get action by the United Nations who has the palestinians ear the most tonight. It really depends on what the palestinians want in this case i mean trump announcement has really thrown a Monkey Wrench into any sort of negotiations that may have still been happening between the israelis and palestinians in terms of a peace settlement jerusalem was a big Sticking Point in all of this its a city with a lot of historical cultural religious depth and context for all the people who live here Everyone Wants their piece of it wants their to put a get their foot here and now the palestinians say oh well now trump is saying we cant have any of jerusalem this will never be part of our state and we cant accept this. As you said the u. N. Has called this emergency meeting tomorrow morning local time what the u. N. Can possibly do in the situations out of remains to be seen many are saying that the u. S. Is disqualified itself as a peace broker after what i did yesterday or you are hearing that they are as well. Well its interesting to hear who the people on the ground here are blaming its really very focused on the israelis i mean these are the people who they encounter in their everyday lives these are the people who they cross in the street these are the police who perhaps are harassing them these are the palestinians who the police are doing wrong its very localized here and the trump really just sort of took the lid off of what was already there the tensions that were already existed and are really just a part of everyday life for people its also interesting to hear the israeli side of this because a lot of people. Yes they they think that through solemn it has been their capital is their capital will always be their capital but a lot of israelis have very mixed feelings about this day they recognize that this is a stall in the the Peace Process however that may be going if it even is going to have to perhaps check in was your question or on that one so a lot of mixed feelings here on a lot of attention waiting for tomorrow all right well we know that you will be on the story for us tomorrow as well regardless of what happens my issue either all of for you tonight in jerusalem i think very much and stay safe. More background now im joined here in the studio at the big table by do we know if you live for a while in haifa and he has reported from the west bank its good to have you here at the big table so we hear what my is saying there that theyre anticipating more violence tomorrow even if they were shias in jerusalem talk a little bit though about what were talking about with. Weve got East Jerusalem and then what the wrist who lives where well in jerusalem means many Different Things may different people and to many different maps you know its not just west and east actually you do have the western part which is modern where more israeli jews live more a little more built up slightly wealthier and then you have East Jerusalem and within these through some of the old city which is what most people think about here behind us and then you have the municipal city then you have the land that israel sees in the one nine hundred seventy war which i consider jerusalem but many people dispute and of course East Jerusalem no matter how you slice and dice it is an exterior tory yeah and i was asking people that yesterday do you think it would have made a difference if you as President Trump yesterday if he wanted to go ahead recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel would it have made a difference if he had also said i recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent palestine i just cant imagine a scenario where he would have said that because that would thats thats putting the cart so far in front of the horse do you think do you think it would have made a difference though to the palestinians oh for the palestinians sure i mean this is this is their goal they want at least easter islam as their half of the future state whatever that state might look like so of course i think wed be seeing a very different outcome today if that had been in since some way the statement and we know that the mosque is calling for an uprising this is third intifada and weve been very careful here about how we report this story we dont want to demonize the palestinians and make it look like they are about to become perpetrators of something because in eastern jerusalem they are living in occupied territory and they been that way since one nine hundred sixty seven. So for the. For the palestinians that are living in East Jerusalem and the arab tells you theyre living in the rest of jerusalem what democratic or what Legal Options are recourse do they have now that things are quickly becoming so bad yeah well again lets say that i mean tension in jerusalem is a pretty much every day normal occurrence because the very tense city with a lot of fervent religious people of all kinds living there. You know the intifada failed did not get what the palestinians want to what hamas wanted and its very important as you know to know that these are not a monolith like any group and theres a lot of internal politics at play as well between fatah and hamas the west bank and gaza its a very complicated situation but there are democratic options we have to remember that the four hundred thousand or so palestinians living in jerusalem most of them in East Jerusalem they are more or less not citizens of israel so they cant vote nationally but they are more or less mostly residents of jerusalem which means they do have municipal Voting Rights they have boycotted elections ever since sixty seven seeing it as a tool as an extension of the israeli state that they see as the enemy but their fear at least theoretically one democratic option could be to participate in elections and with forty percent of the recent population being arab being palestinian and israeli that can theoretically have a very very big impact i drew sloan and israel it as a whole what do you think the people who are saying that the two state solution is dead do you think that theyre banking on a one state solution one day with the i guess with the with the arabs the palestinians just you know forever boycotting the democratic process is that what theyre thinking you know i wouldnt begin to venture into into into the minds of people who dont see peace as an option are not trying to push for some kind of some kind of peaceful solution because the options dont look good for any side for anyone involved with with birthrates the way they are on the arab side not looking good for people who believe in a jewish. State and of course its obvious what the dangers are to the palestinians who are the weaker party on this side its israel with the military power israel the economic power in israel with the strong relations to the e. U. And the United States its not a pretty picture that you think they are and hopefully it will be worse tomorrow but well have to wait and see we have no thank you very much appreciate your insights good stuff. Well still to come on the day special recognition from one of the worlds favorite food unesco adds traditional naples style pizza to its Cultural Heritage list thats right well take a closer look at what counts as the real thing. Well tonight germany could be one step closer to forming a new government that could resemble the old one at least in name the Country Center left social democrats have voted in favor of opening talks on continuing the governing coalition with german chancellor Angela MerkelsConservatives Party chairman Martin Scholtz asked his fellow social democrats to give the green light for preliminary talks and he says success depends on what part of the Party Platform can be adopted as government policy in another vote schultz was reelected as the party leader. We want to pull in our own show on the pots now shes at the convention good evening to you so what does all of this mean will there be a new government in germany. Well we are definitely one step closer but we are nowhere near actually having a new government if anything this day really shows that its going to be a very lengthy process and the devil here is in the details were talking now of the vote here the social democrats voted on having preliminary talks after those preliminary talks might be successful with mantles conservatives they will have another Party Convention where they vote on going into Coalition Talks and after those Coalition Talks might be successful they will have the Party Membership which is four hundred and forty thousand people so nearly half a Million People vote on the results of those Coalition Talks so its going to be a very lengthy process until germany has a new government in place and this vote today that weve seen at the Party Convention on the social democrats does not at all mean that those talks with michaels conservatives will be successful you know thats a very good point because the social democrats are not excited to begin with about going into a coalition again with the conservatives and they have some conditions that they want to be met right. Actually they have pretty bold demands for this stand they are going into these Coalition Talks are into these preliminary talks with the upper hand they know that the conservatives need them and they for example want to abolish private Health Insurance they want to allow family reunions for refugees want to reform pensions and overall it wants to create how the Party Leaders said today he is a very strong european a United States of europe in the long term so a very bold dimanche not. Meant to hold the chancellor does not agree on all of them and its going to be very tough negotiations but she is willing to show she will be willing to make compromises because the chancellor has already said she does not want a minority government no new elections and those would be the other two options if this grand coalition does not work out all right a correspondent of all apart from the story of words tonight show of the thank you very much. In the United States another high profile resignation connected to allegations of Sexual Misconduct today the two term democratic senator from minnesota. Frank resigned he said that he will leave his office in a few weeks now franken faced unbearable pressure from his Party Colleagues after numerous women came forward with claims against have now franken who also made a name for himself on saturday night live managed to inject some irony and to his farewell address today i am announcing that in the coming weeks i will be resigning as a member of the United States senate i have all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving well a man who has bragged on tape.

Must now hold trump and more accountable others like the author are now so are just happy about the result all abusers should lose their jobs as you tweet good riddance to al franken in my humble opinion ironically the ones coming to the defense of the democratic senator are none other than some republicans Newt Gingrich the former republican speaker of the house and a supporter of president obama trump tweeted franken one million fifty three thousand two hundred in five minutes i picked him for senate in two thousand and fourteen thirty self appointed your senators want him out what happened to the popular vote.
