No Resolution from Talks between New York Mayor and Police Unions

INTRO:

Talks on Tuesday between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and police
union leaders concluded with no resolution.

Tensions have been high since the mayor criticized the New York police
for use of excessive force - remarks union leaders have said fostered
anti-police sentiment.

The meeting was a conciliatory effort, but no apology was issued from
either side

US Eases Oil Export Ban

The Obama administration has begun to ease America's 40 year ban on exporting crude oil.

The US Department of Commerce has told oil companies they can begin to export shipments of condensate - a particular high grade form of crude - without going through the formal approval process.

As Lorna Shaddick reports from Washington, it's being seen as a shot at global oil cartel OPEC, of which the US isn't a member.

Palestinian Observer Condemns UN Security Council Rejection of Resolution

The Security Council has voted against a resolution that would require Israel to withdraw by the end of 2017 and for a peace agreement to be in place within the next 12 months.

Israel is due to hold a general election in March of next year and says the vote imposes further divisions between the two sides.

The United States and Australia voted against, eight nations voted in favour and five abstained.

The resolution which required 9 votes also called for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians to be in place within 12 months.

UN Security Council Votes Against Palestinian Resolution

The United Nations Security Council has voted against a Palestinian-authored resolution that would require Israel to withdraw from occupied territories by the end of 2017.

The United States and Australia voted against, eight nations voted in favour and five abstained.

The vote requires nine to agree, and so the result meant the US did not need to use its veto power to block its passage.
