[00:00.00] The United States and the United Nations
[00:03.17] are urging Israel and Palestinians to resume peace talks
[00:06.78] after a day of unrest in Jerusalem.
[00:08.90] The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said
[00:11.57] Washington wanted to insure both sides
[00:13.50] were fully committed to peace efforts.
[00:15.43] The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
[00:17.98] condemned as illegal recent Israeli plans
[00:20.34] to build new settlements in East Jerusalem.
[00:22.46] Barbara Plett reports from New York.
[00:24.88] Ban Ki-moon urged restraint in Jerusalem,
[00:27.68] reminding Israelis and Palestinians of the final statues
[00:30.54] of the city were supposed to be decided in negotiations.
[00:32.66] He repeated condemnation of Israeli plans
[00:35.70] to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers
[00:38.25] in the occupied eastern part of the city,
[00:40.12] stating again that such settlements are illegal
[00:42.36] under international law.
[00:43.48] On Friday, the Secretary General is set
[00:46.03] to attend a ministerial meeting of the quartet
[00:48.08] which groups the UN, the European Union, Russia and America.
[00:51.75] He said members will discuss additional measures
[00:54.49] to trying rescue tentative steps
[00:56.42] to resume Israeli-Palestinian peace talks
[00:58.22] although he didn't say what they were.
