Of and. Says among. Yet rage has also been visible on the streets of the german capital here in the shadow of berlins Brandenburg Gate and just outside the u. S. Embassy protesters burned israeli flags last weekend germany has condemned the flag burning calling them shameful. Joining me now on the studio is israels ambassador to germany jeremy i saw cut off welcome to you on bastille let me start with a personal question we just saw pictures of people burning the israeli flag in the heart of butted outside the Brandenburg Gate what did you feel it made me feel very sad to see such an event in berlin in a city which is welcomed me most four months ago in such a warm way and i feel sure that it doesnt represent the feelings of the German Government and the german people as a whole i think that this is a fringe element that tends to affirm one central thing so they disagree with israels policy but they dont agree with the fact that israel can have a position and then in that sense i think the burning of a flag is like burning ones own own integrity and ones own tolerance and in that sense i think its something that should be condemned in a very profound way and it has been condemned across the board in jail me talking about israels position germany in israel have a close relations and yet chancellor Angela Merkel has come out in strong opposition to Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel are you disappointed by that i can speak for the government of visual when i say that any agreement between israel and the palestinians ultimately will include jerusalem as the capital of israel and if i did receive them as the capital of jerusalem as the capital of israel the Prime Minister has said that we will continue to look to achieve peace with all of our neighbors including the palestinians as well and there is going to be no change in the present very stark past steadfast policy of freedom of access freedom of worship in jerusalem which is hope jerusalem survive and go through many different challenges the back to this new signs of peace in the region of the moment over this. Conflict would israel accept in a two state solution that is jerusalem should be the capital of a palestinian state look i come from jerusalem jerusalem is my home town ive lived in jerusalem for many years my family has been there for several generations i know jerusalem does not just polls trade in these headlines of this day or another i see a jerusalem which has had a profound degree of coexistence between jews and arabs from many different many different years and over different times and i think that we should also appreciate that theres a lot more potential of coexistence in this city than otherwise and i always continue to believe jerusalem is a spiritual city its appearances says city of serenity of calm of spirituality and i believe ultimately people in the end can find their way to reaching an agreement but it will not be reached if i could just add by burning flags and not tolerating the positions of either side you talked about it in jerusalem being a spiritual city its also a spiritual city for the arabs for the muslims there can you understand this sense of despair and prostration over a decision which says jerusalem is only the capital of israel first of all i can understand that this is a city that is also sensitive to all of the religions to christianity and islam and indeed that is why israel has protected for decades now complete freedom of access and worship to all of the holy sites just as we would have expected this of others we expect this of ourselves so in that sense we do on a very daily basis recognize the sensitivities involved of all of the all of the residents and during ramadan a significant amounts tens of thousands of people came to. Pray in the mosque and without being interfered with and they were facilitated by the israeli authorities so we do all that we can to ensure this spirit of worship the spirituality now in terms of politics in terms of coming together this again needs for people to sit in the same room to recognize the fact that im on side is israel the homeland of the jewish people and on the other side the palestinians and we need to find a way to sit down and directly come to some agreement but that is of course been the challenge for decades how to come to some sort of an agreement because both sides claim jerusalem as their capital to the President Trumps move to declare jerusalem as the capital of israel was counterproductive look at all the protests look at all the rage that we have seen in so many cities around the world i would first of all say that the the announcement of President Trump was an indication of american policy on a certain aspects of the Peace Agreement which obviously is a very important one and i will not belittle it but in no way did he try and his own words to prejudice a final settlement or not ultimate agreement between the parties themselves and i think that one should also learn that we need in the middle east to calm down the temperature calm down the emotions we are not going to get anywhere by confrontation weve been in confrontation for decades we need to do what weve done with the egyptians with the jordanians and even with the palestinians to sit down and try and find Political Solutions forty years ago we reach peace after the courageous leadership of president sadat and Prime Minister begin and it is hell for forty years and its become a strategic factor this can also happen with the palestinians again if we talk directly dont go to the u. N. Dont go to the u. N.

In south korea robots are helping out as the host nation gears up for the Winter Olympics this torchbearer gets a bit of human insistence before showing off his special skills and handing off to the next runner in the traditional torch relay the games open in the city of next february. U. S. President donald trump is facing scrutiny once again over allegations of Sexual Misconduct three women would previously accused trump of sexual harvestman are calling for a congressional investigation into trumps alleged predatory behavior the white house has called the claims for us but the women have pointed to the infamous access Hollywood Video in which trump traveling on a tour bus brian groping and trying to have sex with women not some of the women accusing him of Sexual Misconduct are repeating their stories and quoting for an inquiry in trumps behavior lets take a listen to what theyre saying. But its when he put his hand started put his hand up my skirt and that was the last time i wore skirt travelling. And then i managed because im not a small person i. Managed to wrestle myself out of the sea and stood up grabbed my purse and went to the back of the airplane i want to believe that as americans we can put aside our political inclinations and admit that some things in fact do transcend politics that we will hold mr trump to the same standard as Harvey Weinstein and the other man who were held accountable for their reprehensible behavior. On those women on deceiving the backing of dozens of lawmakers fifty six members of the Democratic Womens Working Group of course on the House Oversight committee to start an investigation in a letter they wrote in the time of need two women across the country are coming forward with their own harrowing stories of Sexual Harassment and a sort we cannot ignore the multitude of women who have come forward with accusations against mr trump schools for action are also echoing in the halls of the opportune but democratic senator ron wyden tweeting these women are right if donald trump wont resign Congress Must investigate allegations by many many women that he sexually assaulted in harris them no one is above the law all for more of the story let me join scott lucas hes a professor of american studies at the university of blame income in the u. K. But is the lucas what are the chances offical rational investigation. I think that republicans in congress who hold a slim majority in the Upper Chamber and a larger majority in the house of representatives i think there will be watched any type of meaningful investigation however just making the calls for the inquiry especially from these women but also by legislators that will sort of keep the pressure on trump. What has really sort of changed this environment after trump was able to escape the allegations last year youd like to this president has been of course the wide range of people who have been accused in hollywood the journalists who have been accused even senators representatives accused of Sexual Misconduct last week one democratic senator al franken resigning over the allegations and people are saying well if we are holding these people to account shouldnt we hold donald trump to account given that fifteen women are on record accusing him of Sexual Harassment so as i said i dont expect a formal investigation but politically i think this could now be damaging again to trump its a number of issues that he has faces of do you think the donald trump is thinking that hes from the need to move in because these allegations against him have been around for a while that the not to over this is seems to have changed as a result of this need to lieutenant. I think donald trump of course has this ability to think that he is always a ball of any type of criticism and that if you his challenge it must be the fake media and that these women are making up these stories that said i think probably youre going to see his frustration coming days that these charges have come back at him because he said it was sulphide a trap and that is what he commented on others who have been accused of Sexual Misconduct like senator franken that it simply put him back into the spotlight which is you cannot point it others in the states hurt yourself and of course on top of this and possibly compounding Donald Trump Trust ration is that the republican senator candidate in alabama today one more is also accused of Sexual Harassment and that just increases the pressure on the party as well as the president so as you say that he supported this out of almost senate risk intended imo oneself is accused of Sexual Misconduct this thing about how this administration views sexual how distant of women if you want me to be blunt it means morality be damned this Administration Priority is to keep a majority of senators for its attempt to get tax cuts through it is to preserve trump and any type of moral or ethical questions about the people who are in office inclusion and the president he so those are secondary the white house will just simply keep trying to say look other what look elsewhere dont look at office. Do not expect this administration to ever hold itself up to a more standard that applies to others they have to see read a story go scott lucas thank you very much for your assessment. Youre watching news coming up ahead overcrowded detention facilities and theres brutality by the libyan coast guard kickbacks and corruption hell nations are being accused of doing nothing to stop the abuse of refugees and migrants held in libya. But first tonight joins me and if you flying ryan and jim you might be in trouble ahead and im afraid so amrita german pilots could be about to go on strike thats according to the pilots union the cockpit unit called for industrial action to settle negotiations over working conditions and wages to bring them in line with market standards the union has confirmed that the main days of travel during the holiday from the twenty to the twenty sixth of december will not be affected the german ryanair pilots join the irish italian and portuguese colleagues who are also planning industrial action against the and line ryanair says it doesnt recognize the german union however. Now two years after the paris climbers agreement french capital is hosting the one planet summit four thousand delegates fifty wild leaders and the focus the Financial Support to make fossil fuel economies a thing of the past as it celebrates on the anniversary of the Paris Agreement many goals remain unfulfilled french president Emanuel Michael says he wants to change that with the help of cincinnati hes. A bit of movie glamour may just help to draw attention to the issues up for debate the one planet summit oh its two years since the paris climatic remote was signed that critics say that there have been few achievements to celebrate. They say its time can real action not just good intentions the summits message is fossil fuels a history. We will talk some more about that it doesnt matter that Donald Trump Backed out of the Paris Agreement. Because the private sector didnt drop out the Public Sector didnt drop at university this didnt drop but scientists didnt drop by the engineers didnt drop but no one dropped out donald trump pulled donald trump out of the Paris Agreement so dont worry about any of that but some concern might be warranted despite numerous pledges of financial help from wealthier countries few funds have reached the nations most in need of help something protesters outside the venue a keen to remind delegates of. The french president in money when back home hope lies in the finance and science sectors at the summit he spoke to engineers scientists and entrepreneurs developing innovations to improve Energy Efficiency france has pledged to spend millions of euros to support the work of eighteen scientists most of them from the u.

The french president in money when back home hope lies in the finance and science sectors at the summit he spoke to engineers scientists and entrepreneurs developing innovations to improve Energy Efficiency<\/a> france has pledged to spend millions of euros to support the work of eighteen scientists most of them from the u. S. On condition that they were confronts in future. Proof to should you do what i want you to figure out is the most radical innovation fundamental research applied to research all the projects that you have pursuing the Technological Research<\/a> that will allow us to win the battle against Climate Change<\/a>. And he wants Company Heads<\/a> involved two firms will need to raise the bulk of one hundred billion dollars annually from twenty to twenty for climate protection and adapting the planet to Climate Change<\/a> exactly how my calm plans to achieve this though is not yet clear. Well as bring in sunny again from our environment desk now sanya how crucial is climate finance to missing the paris goals. Well climate finance is absolutely crucial to meeting the peris agreement goals in fact i would say that without climate finance there is no Paris Agreement<\/a> the pairs agreement is about to enter its Implementation Phase<\/a> and that money is needed in order to both decarbonize the economies of countries especially in the developing world but also to help them adapt to these changes that were already experiencing as a result of Climate Change<\/a> thats not here what needs to happen for people to actually come up with the funds the climate finance. Well as has been mentioned theres theres a broad understanding that the private sector is going to have to be leveraged in order to make up this difference so we have government commitments we have multilateral lending agencies that are committed and theyre trying to get more private companies in the game. And i think that there theyll come on board too because its a very important issue in terms of Economic Prosperity<\/a> as well i mean lets take a look at germany then because its still far more reliant on coal than it intended to be at this stage so how is germany performing on issues like climate finance. Well germany is quite strong on climate finance although as you point out its a bit of a paradox in terms of its own coal policies. At the beginning of the cup twenty three the Global Climate<\/a> conference that occurred in bonn just a couple of weeks ago the German Government<\/a> committed to an additional hundred Million Euros<\/a> of funding for adaptation and that i think sets sends a very clear signal that the German Government<\/a> is behind finding this transition to a low Carbon Economy<\/a> and helping countries adapt. The commitments are there its really just a question of following through on them our environment editor thank you very much apple has confirmed plans to buy up make for forty four hundred Million Dollars<\/a> she sounds the company that helps you out when you just have to know the name of a song thats playing say you know restaurant and its in the series by identifying the music using a small thing and then forwards that song is your music player of choice analysts say apple wants to use the acquisition to bring more users to its own music offering and away from compressed his lights off by. Back over to amrita now and im rita some strong accusations from Amnesty International<\/a> thats right very strong accusations had an aunt i missed international has accused the European Union<\/a> of being complicit in the abuse of migrants and refugees in libya the e. U. s been working with libya to curb migration across the mediterranean i missed he says the e. U. Has turned a blind eye to dangerous detention facilities and alleged brutality by the libyan coast guard the refugees has in libya are fleeing civil wars persecution and famine africa more than one hundred thousand of them have arrived on the shores of the e. U. So far this year. And we want to talk more about this issue with jonah dahl who is an easy europe and central asia director off Amnesty International<\/a> a welcome john a your when you organization accuses the e. U. Off complicity in the abuse of refugees and migrants in libya what do you mean. Well the e. U. House for some time now rob the most number of governments with backing specifically its entered into a string of Corporation Agreements<\/a> to fund to train to equip the libyan coast guard in various parts of the ministry of in tyria and in libya who are themselves perpetrating horrific abuses on refugees and migrants and all and the european governments know this concluding on a on a daily basis with with with smugness stance re what the e. U. Is trying to tackle the e. U. Governments knowing the extent of collusion of libyan authorities with smugglers and abuses in libya should not be equipping and funding them in the way they are with no conditions a toll on the how they operate in the absence of those conditions in the absence of that kind of influence those governments have become complicit sadly and horrifically in those abuses but often john the reasons beyond this is abuse and exploitation of refugees and migrants and much beyond what the e. U. Can influence what do you expect the e. U. To do in such a situation. But. The Italian Government<\/a> has a choice either it concludes that it is able to influence the libyan authorities to radically change its detention system for migrants in which people are routinely to watch it either it succeeds in convincing the libyan authorities to recognize fully the mandate of the Un Refugee Agency<\/a> said they can protect refugees if they are able to secure that kind of arrangement with the libyan authorities then they shouldnt be funding training equipping them to carry out abuses with the sole interest from the european perspective of stopping them from ever having in europe the bond of these measures were taken to stem the flow off migrants and refugees coming into europe illegal migration what do you sense just as one concrete measure that the e. U. Can take. Well its also that as a recent to too bad cooperation is not no cooperation there are important things that the e. U. Can be doing in libya can be trying to work with libyan authorities to do that would improve the situation for the economic migrants and indeed refugees who are trapped in the country recognizing the the world the mandate of the u.
