This is BBC world News today broadcasting in the UK and around | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
the world. The headlines: the UN Security Council demands an end to a | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
legal settlement building by Israel. The motion passed after the US | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
refused to exercise its veto. Israel is describing it as shameful. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
The settlements must stop and we've been sending that message for five | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
decades. The main suspect in a billion market | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
tack tack is shot dead but Jimmy and still in a state of high alert. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Relief after the men who hijacked a plane to Malta surrendered to | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
police. And in sport, this athlete's coaches given a ten year ban for the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
fences. Hello and welcome. Israel has | :00:56. | :01:11. | |
reacted with anger at the United Nations passed a resolution | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
condemning Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory. It happened | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
because the United States changed its usual veto policy that -- and | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
abstained. Israel's ambassador to the Yemen said it was shameful but | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
the US said it had long argued against settlement building. Today, | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
the Security Council reaffirmed its consensus that settlements have no | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
legal fertility. The States had been sending a message the settlements | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
must stop. That has been privately and publicly fund nearly five | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
decades. It is because this forum continues to be too often biased | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
against Israel, because there are important issues which are not | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
sufficiently addressed in this resolution and because the United | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
States does not agree with every word in this text that the US did | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
not vote in favour of the resolution. But it is because this | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
resolution reflects the facts on the ground and is consistent with US | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
policy across the public and Democratic administrations | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
throughout the history of the state of Israel that the United States did | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
not veto it. In the last hour, president elect | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Donald Trump has responded to this UN vote. He has tweeted: | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
it is worth mentioning that Mr Trump has chosen a pro-settlement | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
hardliner to be the US's next ambassador to Israel. Reuters | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
reporting at the moment that the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu's | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
office in Israel, has said Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
resolution at United Nations and will abide by its terms. That is one | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
of the reactions that is coming out of Israel. A lot of dismay coming | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
from many in Israel. They are saying this resolution is unfair. The | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
energy minister reportedly said that the US abstention is not how friends | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
behave. One Cabinet minister also said this vote splits in the face of | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Donald Trump. We will confirm that if we can. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Let's move on. In Germany, the interior minister says that the | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
threat to his country is still high today, despite the killing of the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
prime suspect in the burning Christmas market attack. Anis Amri | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
was shot dead by Italian police in the early hours of Friday. Security | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
officials are now trying to work out how he ended up in Milan. And he was | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
linked to. At three in the morning, acting | :03:51. | :04:14. | |
suspiciously, he was stopped by two officers and tried to shoot them. At | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
that moment, the man, without hesitating, pulled out a pistol and | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
fired. It was towards the policeman who would ask for identity | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
documents. The officers reacted immediately. The one who was hit is | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
recovering in hospital. And this has just been released by the so-called | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Islamic State, a recording made in Berlin by Anis Amri, sometime before | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
the attack. He is pledging his allegiance. It is now believed the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
24-year-old true busy and they had been radicalised after he arrived in | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Europe. -- Tunisian. German security services knew he was a threat but he | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
talked about buying guns, not using a truck. So how did he get all the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
way to Italy? This is what we know that his movements. At 8pm on | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Monday, he attacked the Christmas market and that he vanished but | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
managed to get to France. From there, a train ticket found on his | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
body showed he travelled to Turin and onto Milan Central Station, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
arriving at one in the morning. Finally, he took the Metro to the | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
last stop, where he was shot. At the end of this week, we can be relieved | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
that one acute threat has come to an end but the general threat posed by | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
terrorism will continue. We will do our utmost to make sure our state is | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
a strong state. So Jimmy is now trying to root out radical Islamic | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
networks. We visited this place today, a short distance from where | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Anis Amri's new video was recorded. This is one of the places Anis Amri | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
was known to frequent in the months when he was in Berlin. It is a | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
residential complex that the reason he would come here, what used to be | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
a mosque. It was closed down and became a meeting point for radical | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Islamist 's. One of the neighbours told us small groups of young | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Islamic men continued to use the building. They would meet late at | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
night, apparently discussing attacks. Of course it was dangerous. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
When the men sit here and fantasise about carrying out attacks, yes, I | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
was worried. I -- my children and family lived here. With the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
immediate danger apparently over, Berliners gathered for a memorial | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
this evening, by the Brandenburg gate. No matter what, we are all | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
one. One of the people are coming together and thinking of the | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
victims. Billing people... Germany is a country now confronting the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
reality it faces new and hidden threats. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
Let's speak to major Chapman, a former head of counterterrorism at | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the Ministry of Defence in the UK. Thanks for joining us. We've seen so | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
many security problems in the last year or so in Europe. Looking at | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
what has happened here, with so many apparent failures, what lessons need | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
to be learned? Firstly, the relationship between the security | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
services and the police. You can say there was an organisational failure. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
They need to look at the relationship between the state and | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
federal system. Second, they need to look at their technical aspects. The | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
UK would use intercepts and things like that. Thirdly, they will have | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
to look at their procedure all sides. How do you secure a border if | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
necessary in an emergency. Lastly, the human element. For example in | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
the UK, we rolled out a project, first used during the Commonwealth | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
Games, which uses the data and the psychology of crowds to pre-empt | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
these things. Of course, you also have the larger question of the | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
Schengen agreement in the sense of how he got to Italy, via France. If | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
you want an integrated Europe, then Schengen is a good thing. On an | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
economic level, if you want a free flow of good and trade, it's a good | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
thing. On a security level, if you want to contain, it's a bad thing. | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
It's something they will be looking at both in Germany and the wider | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
European community in the future. Picking up on that final point, | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
because it's politically so controversial, is there a way of | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
allowing some freedom of movement whilst massively beefing up | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
security. All of us have travelled across Europe with virtually no | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
checks. It's a difficult one. You are trapped on a second by second | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
basis with the things you carry. A mobile phone is unintrusive | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
surveillance device. We have more CCTV, automatic number plate | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
readers, things like that, which enable the security services to be | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
effective in the UK. But freedom of movement without some sort of checks | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
can open you up. There is a trade-off. There are only 151 people | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
killed in Europe last year and in numerical terms, is not a great | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
threat. We have to be careful that we don't outsize the threat. That is | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
exactly what ISR trying to do. They are trying to make themselves a | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
strategic player. The numbers might not be high but the change to | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
everyone's expectation about what it means to live in a western democracy | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
is massive, isn't it? Politicians have to react. Do we need more | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
money? There is no such thing as absolute security is you have to | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
look at what resources you want to apply in the appropriate place. | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
Without over egging the thread. You can securitise everything but if you | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
securitise everything, it becomes a great bill. The Americans had ?1 | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
trillion after 911 for something which only killed, killed 3000 | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
people, but in terms of the amount of money for the payoff, that is | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
probably inappropriate. Now, politicians can't say that because | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
if you say that as a politician, it's deemed to be a gaffe. | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
Thank you for your time. Back to our top story. Developments at the | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
United Nations, that resolution that has angered Israel so much on | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
settlement building. You can speak to our correspondent who is in | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Washington. We are getting a lot of reaction. Bring us up-to-date. The | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
White House defending its decision to abstain, even though Mr Netanyahu | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
said they are going to ignore this resolution. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Mr Netanyahu has come out with a strong statement saying that this is | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
a shameful anti-Israeli resolution. Israel will not abide by its terms. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
He said that the Obama administration not only failed to | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
protect Israel against countries ganging up on Israel at the UN but | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
colluded with it behind the scenes and then he said Israel looks | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
forward to working with Donald Trump, who has signalled a different | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
approach. The Americans, the ambassador at the UN, did say that | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
they were not happy with every word in the resolution. She talked about | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
the way they are uncomfortable about criticising Israel at the UN because | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
they do believe it's a venue which is biased against Israel. But she | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
said the continued settlement building in the West Bank and East | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Jerusalem is happening at such a pace that it really was making a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
solution to the conflict unviable and therefore the Americans felt | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
that they had to withhold their veto this time. She said one cannot | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
simultaneously championed Israeli settlements and a stew is two state | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
solution. So the Obama administration put its mark down on | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
that. It's the very end of the Obama | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
presidency and Donald Trump is going to ignore this, as are the Israelis. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
It is not insignificant. To have the US reverse its long-standing | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
practice of protecting the EU Israel at the Security Council is a big | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
deal. To the Israelis, they can fight. This isolates them. It's one | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
of the main reasons they fought so hard. It's also a strong statement | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
of international consensus that the Israeli settlements in the pub | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Palestinian territories are illegal and they threaten a two state | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
solution. It refutes Israel's argument is that what they are doing | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
is legal and the status of this territory needs to be settled. You | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
are right. It comes at the end of Obama's administration. If we had | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
done so earlier on, it could possibly have had more impact. Now, | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
the impact will be largely symbolic because Mr Netanyahu said clearly | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
that the Israelis will not implement it. Mr Obama's successor, Donald | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Trump, has signalled that he will be supportive of the right-wing Israeli | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
government. Retweeted things will be different after January 20 which is | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
when he takes office. It's a diplomatic earthquake in some ways | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
but the impact on the ground, at least initially, will not be felt. | :13:44. | :13:53. | |
The hijacking of a Libyan plane to Malta has ended peacefully. The two | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
men who seized control free to those on board and then surrendered to the | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
authorities. The domestic flight was hijacked in the morning after taking | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
off from Libya. It appears the hijackers are | :14:14. | :14:14. | |
supporters of the late former leader, Colonel together Ashley. The | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
hijackings seems to be more of a political stunt than a terrorist | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
incident. This had been an internal flight to Tripoli, when the Airbus | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
was forced by two men on board to divert to Malta. They told crew they | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
had a hand grenade and threatened to blow up the plane. Probe Gaddafi | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
claims were made by the hijackers, with one appearing and waving a | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
plain green flag. After hours of talks, the promise was given to free | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
those on board, if unspecified demands were met. Passengers were | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
then taken away, with the flight attendants following. They were | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
asked to surrender any weapons. They were found to be in possession of a | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
hand grenade and a pistol. Nevertheless, the Armed Forces are | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
currently conducting a full search on the aircraft and a second pistol | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
has been found so far. The search is ongoing. The hijackers were | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
apprehended on the tarmac and taken into custody. Libya has said they | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
wanted to set up a probe Gaddafi political party. They will be | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
wondering how the men got a grenade on the plane, even if replicas. In | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Tripoli, families are waiting for their loved ones to be flown home. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
It is evident that in Libya, airport security is as lax and chaotic as | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
the country's politics. Stay with us. Much more ahead. Does | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
the end of the rebel uprising in Aleppo signal a new era for Syria or | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
the beginning of the end? This is BBC world News today. The UN | :16:09. | :17:24. | |
Security Council backs a call for an end to illegal settlement building. | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
The Israel has said it is shameful. The main suspect in the Berlin | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
market attack is shot dead but Germany is still on a state of high | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
alert. President Putin has called for a | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
nationwide ceasefire in Syria, now that government forces have fully | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
taken control of the city of Aleppo. The final lap took place last night, | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
with the biggest victory for Bashar Al-Assad says the uprising began | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
five years ago. Jeremy Bowen looks at the significance of the victory | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
and how it could now affect the course of the war. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
In western Aleppo, Christmas party became a victory celebration. It was | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
watched over by banners of Syria's three wise men, President Putin and | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
president at Assad and the leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement. The | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
regime's supporters underestimated in the West End there was relief | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
that the killing might be open -- over. The last buses out of Aleppo | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
delivered thousands of fighters and civilians into an uncertain future. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
The fall of eastern Aleppo is the rebel's greatest defeat and shows | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
how the orders now been decided by the foreign powers that have | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
intervened. So, what is next? President Assad and his allies have | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
won themselves some options. Their victory does not end the war. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Thousands of rebel fighters have been bussed out to a deliberate, the | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
neighbouring province. The regime and its allies will want to win it | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
back. The question is when. They might decide to make eastern... It's | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
part of the suburbs of Damascus. It is vulnerable because rebel groups | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
have weakened themselves by infighting. Foreign powers are | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
shaping the battlefields. Turkey has troops fighting in Syria and backed | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
some of the rebel groups. But it watched whilst Rob Russia destroyed | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
them. That's because Turkey needs Russia to stand aside while its hits | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
the Kurds. While East Aleppo fell, the West was also a bystander and | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
that is because the Syria policy of the Americans, British and their | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
friends never coherent, has now failed completely. Last week, the | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
British and American defence secretaries fell back on old | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
slogans, not credible, as the Syrian regime scored its biggest victory of | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
the war so far. We don't see a future for president Assad in Syria, | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
even if he defeats the opposition in Aleppo. Aleppo though looks to be a | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
turning point. Tonight, Britain's Foreign Secretary said president | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Assad must go. But the downfall of the President looks like a hollow | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
dream. Diplomacy hasn't done it. Early in the war, there was a chance | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
to make it happen by joining the fight but that chance has gone while | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
President Assad remains Russia's and Iran's man. It won't be easy for his | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
coalition to move from Aleppo to victory in Syria but now, they have | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
the momentum. Let's catch up with the sport. My | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
children are still celebrating the Indian cricket victory this week. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
We have moved on. It's all about football now. That was a fantastic | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
victory for India. We will start with football this evening. Some ala | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
dices the new manager at Crystal Palace. He signed a two and a half | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
year deal. Alan Pardew was sacked 24 hours ago. Palace say they are | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
fortunate that someone of his calibre and experience was | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
available. He was sacked by England after one day in charge but as a | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
club manager, he has never been relegated and he pleased to be back. | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
As difficult as it is, as pressurised as it is, it is where | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
I've been comfortable for many years and you generally get a new job | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
because there are if you difficult is at the club. I also those | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
difficulties ahead and try and get a few more results on the board, | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
particularly over Christmas and New Year, to make everybody feel a bit | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
more comfortable. Chelsea's O is leaving Stamford | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Bridge for Shanghai SIP GeForce 60000000 pounds, that's about $74 | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
million. That's the seventh most expensive player of all-time. The | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
25-year-old Brazilian will earn ?400,000 a week. | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
Two-time Wimbledon champion Kavita verse said moving her fingers again | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
was the best Christmas present she could have wished for. She has left | :22:44. | :22:53. | |
hospital following surgery. There is some flash photography in this | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
report. The smallest of smiles after the | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
most terrifying of traumas. Bearing the scars from her ordeal, she today | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
addressed the public for the first time since the knife attack that | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
could have cost her her career and nearly cost her so much more. I am | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
happy to tell you that I'm feeling well. My team have provided amazing | :23:15. | :23:29. | |
support in this difficult situation. Howard to thank each and every one | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
of them for the important part they played. | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
She was attacked by an intruder wielding a knife. She suffered | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
lacerations to her playing hand. A day later, she underwent surgery. | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Her resolve has been unbroken. I will use my energy to focus on my | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
recovery. I will do everything I can to return to the sport I love as | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
soon as possible. She is one of the poster girls of world tennis. At 26, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
in the prime of her career. The world number 11 has twice won | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
Wimbledon, two of 19 career titles. For now, her victories are on a | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
victory -- different scale. Yesterday morning, during a session | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
with a doctor, I was able to move my fingers on my left hand and this was | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
the grace -- greatest Christmas present I could have wished for. The | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
surgeon says she will not be able to pick up a racket for three months. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
This will be the year we will see the fighter that we've never seen | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
before. The International Olympic Committee | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
has opened disciplinary proceedings against 28 Russian athletes who | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
competed in Sochi. Evidence emerged earlier this month of manipulation | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
of athletes you're in tests during the 2014 Winter games. Russia has | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
also lost two more major events following the accusations of | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
state-sponsored doping is. The World Cup by a fan speed skating will be | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
held elsewhere. That is all your sport. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
He has made his list, he's checked it twice and we can now report that | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
Father Christmas has officially left that planned to begin his | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
deliveries. He has been ably assisted by two reindeer. He left | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
his grotto in northern Finland with a sack full of presents. According | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
to the military organisation which tracks is Jenny, the sleigh weighs | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
75,000 gumdrops and can travel faster than starlight. Reports | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
suggest that also on board is a sack full of twigs from naughty children. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
Have a lovely Christmas weekend. Goodbye. | :25:57. | :26:01. |
