Alone Jackie learned and you were listening to the news room from the b.b.c. World Service earlier this month the United States broke with decades of policy and international consensus and officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel the decision was rejected by Israel's neighbors and now the un Security Council is considering a draft resolution on the status of the city this document would declare that any unilateral decision on Jerusalem status would have no legal effect our correspondent in Washington David Willis told us more well the draft resolution Jackie calls on all countries to refrain from opening embassies in Jerusalem a reflection of the concern that other governments could follow president trumps lead it stresses that Jerusalem is an issue to be as the resolution puts it resolved through negotiations and it expresses deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem this is without specifically mentioning the Trumper ministrations decision it reaffirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the current status or demographic composition of Jerusalem have no legal effect are known void and must therefore be rescinded and it's bound to be vetoed by the u.s. Isn't it is yes it's likely that this will be put to the vote as early as next week and there is broad support but as you say this resolution will almost certainly be vetoed by the United States and they will block the measure while most if not all of the 14 other council members u.n. Security Council members will probably back that draft resolution the vice president might Pence is going to the Middle East next week what is expected to come of that well Mike Pence is sure to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well. As Egypt's president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi but there will be no meeting with the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas Such is the level of anger in the Arab world over this decision by the Trump administration Mr Bacile said no to a meeting Mike Pence's spokesman criticised that decision saying it was unfortunate and that the trumpet ministration remained undeterred does it put it in its efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East that was David Willis in Washington a South African President Jacob Zuma has warned his a.n.c. Policy that infighting between rival factions is threatening its future Mr Zuma was opening a conference which will choose his successor as leader and therefore the likely next president the 2 front runners are the deputy presidents around the poser and the former foreign minister and presented limeade Zuma one of the president's former wives the stars of Saturday's conference was delayed by wrangling about who could vote from Johannesburg Africa editor Fogel king sent this report. Not since the a.n.c. Came to power 23 years ago has so much depended on the votes of its party members. An organization that held together through more than 8 decades of white rule is now bitterly divided. They sing the same song but support very different visions. For this conference is just about the future of the liberation movements of the Arctic it's about the future of the sponsors will they see elect candidates who was promised to send the way. The a.n.c. Has always been good at shows of you see like the clasped hands of the 2 contenders Dr Khamenei Zuma and the man targeting corruption several run a poser both vying for delegates votes who do. Like to see is your next president of office enough to not let a little. Kid. Definitely look at. God I didn't know I was who do you think we're going to be really a Muslim and a Muslim because of this no doubt no doubt and demanded he still vote for a horse to be the next president of the african this Congress and to be the next president of the public. Dr Zuma is a senior politician in her own right but is also the ex-wife of President Zuma. Sitaram opposer could prove his nemesis if he makes good on his own to corruption rhetoric. The president's allies have sought to portray Rama pose as the puppet of greedy point business and the swipe his speech we need to find new ways of protecting the a.n.c. From corporate greed and ensure that the decisions we take out informed by the policies of the a.n.c. And the not dictated to by business interests. Africa's oldest liberation movement is fraying. Even in the face of poignant pleas for unity whoever is elected leader will inherit a party in crisis that was focal plane in Johannesburg this is the b.b.c. World Service in London dark has the headlines the u.n. Security Council is considering a draft resolution saying any unilateral decision on the status of Jerusalem should be rescinded following president trumps move to recognize the city as Israel's capital a wildfire driven by strong winds is threatening a new residential areas in California and rescue is in southern Chile are searching for survivors after a month slate engulfed a village killing at least 5 people yes let's get more on that story in Chile where a state of emergency has been declared in the affected area Jane Chambers is a reporter in the country what we know so far is that as being trench or rains far more than people thought I was going to be and the banks of the lake or river broke and then there's been this very bad landslide and what is mainly affected is village called vs under the Cea which is in Chile's lake region in the south of Chile and it has left many of the houses that destroyed there around 270 people living there this is quite a remote village and some people missing President Bush actually declared a state of emergency and she sent rescue teams to look for the missing people you say is quite a remote village is it difficult for the rescuers to get to yes it is very difficult for the rescuers to get to actually the main routes between the spillage and nearby town is being cut off accurately working to get through to them and they're having to add lift people out some people have been injured at the local hospital so yes it's difficult for them to get there and I gather this is happening on the eve of the runoff election to choose the country's next president and this obviously one of the one of the buildings that was damaged I gather was a voting station Yes this is a local school that's been destroyed which was going to be a voting station on Sunday's elections on the election. They and some of the papers have been destroyed but they've managed to get for me to take away the Confederate killing the people will have the chance to vote that's a very quick response isn't it so do you think that this will actually affect the votes the Brunel fight today I think it's going to be difficult but this is a small village they want them to be able to very bad like them to be able to go if they can to a nearby town to be able to vary but it is difficult for them I was joined chambers in Chile the political route for the last last month of the knowledge and time military submarine is intensifying 44 crew members were on board when the vessel disappeared in the South Atlantic an official government inquiry is already underway and now the head of the Navy Admiral Marcello Seward has been sacked America's editor Leonarda Russia has been following the story the submarine does appear on the 15th of November it's over a month from now. This search and rescue operation was suspended after 2 weeks there's no sign of the submarine they've they're using robots or using specialized vessels and the Russians Americans and many other countries are trying to locate the submarine but it is appeared in the South Atlantic they're trying to sweep the sea bed there but they can't find it and that has caused huge embarrassment for the government it's also caused an awful lot of anger as well hasn't the families are suggesting that corruption in military procurement could be part of the story of what happened to their family members yes I mean the military in Argentina they have a bad reputation that comes from the times of the military government and what happened is apparently the military has been underfunded for many years in the problem that seems to have happened with this summer in the it's in the German submarine from 1983 that was it went through a lot of work in 2000 in the. Then to give it another lease of life another 30 years in that the German media has been reporting that the batteries sold to replace worsts substandard batteries and there are reports of corruption that they gave for quality material and paid bribes to officials or perhaps the Navy officials in Argentina now we've seen the head of the Navy has been sacked is that enough to placate the families what did they want to see they said that's a smokescreen they don't believe anything that the government is saying because if you remember in the beginning your for of this incident the Navy with the daily briefings they said there was no sign of the submarine there was no sign of any explosion and later they said there might have been an explosion the families are angry they're think they're trying to cover up there's an inquiry that's been called by the president is on the way and what the Argentina media are reporting is that there is a split in the Navy and some people being blamed for what they didn't do in the apparently that person who left his admiral who left he failed to inform his superiors but no one believes anything that's being said at the moment there that was on the record that it has little to Russia a Polish man who pulled off a daring escape from the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz has died at the age of $98.00 because he missed because ski was a Boy Scout and organization which was targeted by the Nazis he was arrested as he tried to cross the border into Hungary to join the Polish resistance abroad our Europe regional editor Danny Abel had picks up the story on the 20th of June 1942 a group of 4 prisoners dressed in pilfered s.s. Uniforms used a copied key to steal the car of the Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf hearse that decided to act when one of the group found out that his name was on the list of those 2 to be executed.

Officer and it is very difficult for me because I am still a prisoner inside the guards at the perimeter gates were unmoved as the sedan approached the barrier stay down Kazik remembered that he and his companions were gripped by an almost paralyzing fear but then he snapped into action I opened the door to get out of the car I have to show that I'm really angry that they haven't yet opened the barrier for us and the camp commander scar was a give a little speech that well I shouldn't repeat in front of ladies. It works the barrier was raised the men were 3 The escape brought reprisals though it's said to have led to prisoners that Auschwitz being tattooed with their inmate numbers and Catholics parents were arrested and died at the camp.
