play watching l g 0 live from to how it moves for the back table. also coming out is there any strikes scale? at least 10 people in central gas, right? including a pregnant woman, why it's forces on the wrong they see should to hospitals. and then also in the news, tens of thousands of uranium storing the funeral of make president the brain, right? you see who was killed in a helicopter crash on the, in an unprecedented move, the governments of islands. no wait, and spain have a noun stable, recognize an independent palestinian state beginning on the 28th of this month. he's with the scenes inside the spanish bottom and down to the announcement was made. prime minister federal sanchez said his humphrey had an obligation to act. sanchez accused. these ready prime minister benjamin this now of putting the 2

state solution in danger with this policy of pain and destruction in god. therefore, he's just gonna send him a is that it's just amazing is a set of us who defend human rights and an international order based on rules are obliged to act in ukraine and in palestine. without some of the standards, the someone who we are obliged to do what we can send to you mandatory health since we are supporting the refugees and the displays. but also using a la political leave is that we have at reach 1011. so i'm going to repeat it because it is through the 4th to say we will not allow that. this isn't the destruction of a 2 state solution. do you have any fat solution to this terrible company? yes, beautiful. that reason i want to communicate to you instead of to agreeing with the,

the 2 parties. so we're in the progressive coalition and government and accurate in the sentiments and the majority of the spanish people. and next tuesday, they'll stay in this concept if it's got cabinets, it will recognize the palestine islands prime minister says that 3 decades down to the oslo process, where, where we are afraid to then ever for mrs. sandoval peace settlement and that this is the right thing to do best taking this our step to day taken with norway in spain is a further recognition of that address. and this rice to stay said. it is a statement of unequivocal support for the 2 state solution, the only credible path to peace and security for israel, for palestine and for their peoples. we have previously said that recognition is

a step. we would ideally have taken as part of a process towards that goal. however, we are 3 decades after the oslo process and perhaps further than ever from a just sustainable and comprehensive p sacraments. our decision to recognize palestine should not have to waste and definitely, especially when disease the rice thing to do. it is it is a decision being taken on its merits. but we cannot ignore the fact that we are taking us as palestinians and gaza are enjoying the most appalling suffering hardship and star ration. and the norwegian prime minister says a palestinian state is a pre requisite 14 piece in the middle east pen policy installed for police to the throne. the full recognition of palestine is in support of moderate forces that are on a retreating front in a protracted on cool conflict. this is an investment in the only solution that can bring lasting peace in the middle east. it is

a strong call to other countries to do the same as we're doing today to recognize palestine and to the by ensure that the process towards the 2 state solution can only start again and gain a new momentum being in the midst of a wall with tens of thousands of dead and injured, we must keep alive the only thing that can provide a safe home for both israelis and palestinians. while we have a folders covering all the latest developments in the story, and brand con is in amman, jordan with the reaction from israel. either abraham is standing by in ramallah in the occupied westbank for the reaction from the palace doing authority. but 1st we go to london with the vin and mos on the latest european nations. these latest countries recognizing palestinian statehood. tell us more about this decision and all we likely to see similar moves from other european countries spelling as well solely to the 2nd question. deal is about whether we like symbol we heard from the t shirts,

the prime minister assignment harris in orland. below this was an historic and, and pull some day for all and in palestine. he did say quote, he was confident that the countries will join us in taking this important step. in the coming weeks. there are countries like slovenia that have been considering this talking about it publicly. the norwegian prime minister, you want us got started talking in also about the fact that the cannot be peace in the middle east, unless this recognition takes place pointing out it's being more than 3 decades since also signed in his nation's capital. saying that since the end, the palestinians have taken important steps towards the 2 state solution and quote, palestine has a fundamental right to independence state in madrid. petro sanchez, the prime minister, and he's been very vocal about this for many months now. these ratings were cold around baset of for madrid. back in december, he said the time had come for concrete action and quite prime minister netanyahu is still turning a blind eye, beaumont hospital schools, holmes. he's still using hung up cold and tired to punish more than

a 1000000 innocent boys and girls. the context sweden took this decision back in 2014 the 1st western european member the you to do. so there are many of those before joining your opinion. and in eastern and central europe, including bulk area, check here. so back to you, poland and romania who's also taking the decision historically to recognize the thomas funds. right to state hood then and thank you very much for the mark 5 the in london. while israel has strongly opposed to move by islands, no way in spain, it's for mr. has forwarded the immediate recall of it. some boxers, let's bring in iran con, who's in amman, jordan for us. because while these are the government has bind, i'll just say are in israel, that's why we're reporting from oman in mind. tell us more about the ford missed his reaction and israel's decision to recall the some batches. well the far i'm going to say is really leading the charge when it comes to the reaction to all of this. once he's done these, these issued

a strong statement. he says he talks about the ambassadors being recalled and then he says, i'm sending a click on unequivocal message to all the noise is route would not remain silent in the face of those undermining it. serenity and endangering it's security. today's decision, it goes on, say, sends a message to the palestinians in the world that terrorism pays. that's we the big message that is going to be coming out from the x rays, that this is a reward for how masses attacks on these ro, on october the 7th. and it simply will not stand, they'll be reaching out to the allies in particular, the us to look for a clear and unequivocal condemnation from us. all of this, we would get that one off, remains that to be seen your glance. the defense minister is also rescinded. i very key military old in the northern westbank to re engage military forces is already meaning to forces in that part of the occupied westbank. we've also seen

a bet for those small rich the, the finance minister, the far right to member of the governing coalition, who says we should simply build most settlements in the occupied westbank. we should punish the palestinian authority. and then we've had it, the mob been give it the national security, administer make a very provocative visit to the alex up mosca. compiled a very deliberate move on his part to try to inflame tension. he's also talking about punishing the palestinian authority. so the personal government reaction is like i say, going to be this idea that you're rewarding terrorism. expect to hear that a lot and very loudly him wrong. thank you very much. him on con, lives there in amman. jordan, let's go to the occupied westbank 90 that abraham is in ramallah for us. it. what's been the reaction of the palestinian authority? there has been a wides. welcome from all parts of the palestinian authority also about the far as

the mass. all. 1 of them saying that this has shown that the palestinians deserve and independence faith of their own when it comes to the palestinian presidency. it has released 3 statements welcoming the decision by each country saying that this is a free nude to ending these rays. the occupation that this show is that the diplomatic effort that has been taken on by the palestinian authority for years and maybe executive in the u. n. and in the diplomatic, every not trying to secure a policy and is more and more international recognition of their independence faith has succeeded, is already succeeding and showing it that it's being fruitful. but there is also this criticism of the palestinian authority that is it taking too long that if you have ethics steps are being too slow to achieve any change of the fuel on the ground. and indeed, you have palestinians who believe that if it's wasn't with the 7th of october and

the russian and the excessive use of force in the a talks about the killing and general sizing families all across the occupies is sorry, the disease goes a step, then that move would not have happened today. so this is why palestinians have been saying that resistance is it showing that this can change really a reality for palestinians. but when we talk about to the other 2 on the ground, we are talking about occupation continuing as usual. then we have the 2nd day now off, and his way, the way to jeanine the noise of the occupied us back with a 3 age palestinians have been killed. as a result, this was the initial count. so we're talking about, you know, these really violations still presents still happening. and we're talking about software effects. but the continuing bodies really settlers against the problem thing is that they're pushing more and more of them away. so yes, the palestinians are was coming. the steps, seeing this is something that will pre,

due to an independent states. but that states is being stressed in each and every day by the continuous his way the vine nations on top of them is the league and supplement expansion. need to thank you very much. just sondra is here is need to abraham reporting that from ramallah in the occupied westbank place. now bringing did somebody get his or james space? so an important decision today by these 3 european countries, but they're not the 1st ones to have recognized power to sign as a state wise. this different the, there are lots in the past and the numbers is quite hard to do the calculation because it depends on exactly what countries stayed in at the may be deemed recognition. somewhere between a 139 to a 143 countries in some way overall, the recognized palestine. but in some of those cases it's paul elements that have made it a vote. it's a symbolic decision. it's a decision by government that hasn't really been followed through by successive

governments. but this i think, is important for 2 reasons. 13 countries, that one's meant to all the more to follow these countries say they believe there are multiple lo and to timing. look what has already happened this week. the i c c's historic, a ruling by the prosecute to, to ask for a rest. warren's against the defense minister in prime minister this route and 3 taught from us leaders. i'm the fact the i c j. the other big international court is considering a new or the south africa wants to have in place to stop these riley, offensive on rough. uh, this is the international system and it works very, very slowly. but this is the international system working. yeah. how much of this was it changed by policy and diplomacy? also, the recognition from these 3 countries you hear a lot of when you speak to people international diplomats, when you're on the ground and you speak to palestinians and all the criticism of

the policy, you know, 40 thoughts. i think on this, the policy, you know, forward has been doing very careful, very patient diplomacy go back to 2012. when palestine became an observer state of the united nations and its flag when top outside un headquarters in new york that looked at the time to most of us who were covering it some i was covering it like a purely symbolic move. but i remember a few days late to re add months. so then the, the processing in the boxes, the, you and, and still in the job saying to me, no, no, this is going to mean that slowly we're going to get more and more recognition around the world. and he said, it means that we'll be able to do things like go enjoying the wrong statute and go to the international criminal court and get a case against israel. we might even go to the international court of justice. now i remember thinking at the time and i was in a small group of reporters and he was briefing off the record at the time. this is never gonna happen. this is miles off. i was very skeptical. yeah. but of course, okay, well we're moving to decade later,

but most of what he said that and then that plan has played out. it has played out . but concrete, me, what does it change on the ground practically in, in the occupied territories. as we heard from need of that is really settlement expansion is only continuing and growing. what is it going to change on the ground and you know, along which borders are these countries recognizing about a city and state on the ground. it's going to change the perception of israel because remember israel and many of these really cabinet ministers and even prime minister netanyahu and most whose comments made it pretty clear. they don't want to publish them in state. so it shows the isolation and as, as i think the i c c decision isn't so much else that we've seen in recent weeks and with recent months shows the isolation of israel. and the us is talking again and has been since october about a 2 state solution. and that's something that the bite and ministration on the trump administration before them. i really know all that ignored the palestinians trying to do a deal in the region. the abraham accords normalization the 2 state solution even

if that is a very, very hard thing to actually make viable is what everyone with the exception of these riley is now talking about. james, thank you very much. jane space is a different medic editor. i stay with us on al jazeera after the break. we'll be taking a look at some of the days i've been use and will be live in t. ron, for the funeral of the reading and president, the brain, rice, the the hello again. adelaide 10 south australia is on par to see its driest may on record . still not a drop of rain in the forecast on thursday, suns out with a height of 18 degrees. we do have some heat across the country in w. a purse at 27 degrees, but some showers will dance in here late friday. that's going to drop down your temperature just a little bit that still,

while above average to new zealand we go the north island, it's a wet picture, especially for the east coast. we've got these solid bands of rain plug in the east cape gets been could see close to a months worth of rain over the next 48 hours. let's talk about that. ran into an easier right now. it's becoming more scattered across sumatra and borneo islands. fairly dry across java, but there will be some hitting the showers there on thursday are months who range really digging in across the south coast to be i'm are quite a soaking for yeah and gone. and also as a result, we're seeing jolts and bolts in the forecast for a huge swath of indo china. so i'm disturbed weather for that southeast corner of china, but look toward the north. we've got some serious heat. here's young joe at 36 degrees. rain just screwed in, so the east of japan mostly same drive. it's hot in beijing, but we've got a disturbance rubbing through here. so your temperature is way down by the weekend as

the . ringback the, the, you're watching l g 0 live from the high reminder about top stories. the governments of spain,

island in no way have announced they are formerly recognizing an independent palestinian state, a status which will enter into force next tuesday may the 28th. israel has strongly opposed to move in as mounts. it's re calling you some baskets from islands, no way and space. now to the situation in gaza and at least 10 palestinians have been killed in overnight is really at strikes in central garza, the victims were all from one family, including a pregnant, pregnant women and children. their bodies have been taken to access the hospital. the attack happened in the sy wanda area when is really strikes targeted buildings sheltering, displaced people a francis president, the money in my coins, driving to new caledonia in the pacific where they have been days of unrestricted by proposed changes to the voting system. the overseas french territory is under

a state of emergency after violence broke out during protests when he has to meet in some parts of new caledonia as capitol, new map protest is still in control and promising to find home unless we want to give up until they withdraw the decks, they are bound to for to him. no, no, we won't give up. even if we have to die for it to the text, he refers to is a constitutional change that would expand the electorate in new caledonia allowing more french nationals to vote and local elections. the indigenous cannot say it's entrenching french colonization and marginalizing their voice. the, we're waiting for this text to be withdrawn because it means the illumination of the contact people were already in the minority. if they get this text through congress and resign were screwed, the french government continues to increase the number of security personnel who,

being slowly bringing the situation under control. but days of protesting looting and us and have shut down pots of new map. and some people worry, it will never be the same thing in the deal, not to go to reading for the police to intervene. and then maybe we'll be a bit more relieved, a bit more liberated. it's true that afterwards it will be difficult to rebuild everything. and that's that it's a sad story. there's only one word for it. sad of the international april remains close to commercial flights, stranding many tourists. on tuesday, the governments of new zealand and australia were given permission to land military, a craft in new caledonia to evacuate some of the citizens. the 1st have arrived back home, angry with the strong government 3 homes. and as much as that, i felt that they should have warned us prior to going move flights, upland in the coming days, contingent on the fluid security situation. wayne, hey, al jazeera towed on

a new zealand to even now where the state funeral of the late president, the brain, my ac, is on the way into iran. tens of thousands of the radiance of gather that freedom square and the capital to pay their respects. gracie's body will lay to be taken to his home city of my shod for burial on thursday. yvonne is mocking. it's 3rd of 5 official days of morning announced by the supreme meter. i told the how many as go live to obvious to sit down who's in freedom square in tehran, so huge crowds, we've been seeing, restore, showing up to pay their respects and many foreign dignitaries as well. tell us about what's been happening. the star people come in the house here. so here we just had,

this is addition to the freedom square behind me sit on the to so this is street of a settlement past, so they are backed by this. so i know this happens in a short, they will be arriving to this funeral ceremony and people are going to pay the respects here. so who was talking to some of the people here? and i will see that some of them are, are hard drive them, but he was just no doubt. she was extremely popular among the passivity segments of the society. so he will, so we can say that the bees that this present to day and mostly conservatives of the wrong times, people are waiting for the prize then so it's the federal to state your bodies. and of course, there are several floating jobs to as well have arrived at a time due to be rolled, to present opportunities. yeah. to try that. did the minister of egypt do that at the head of the russian pa,

them in 2 months. and the prime minister practiced on the percentages of how the bumps from guns done the turkish for the minister. otherwise, president the fact that the, the prime minister or the rock, these are some that are, i'm on the board and get stuck on track since today you want to pay their respects . i'm of course, also to have to be shows about what next time, how whether they are unimportant. you may see and will not. yeah. and after this funeral is over, result, of course, the iranians will be heading to the full select a new leader in about 50 days. how do they feel about the prospect of returning to the phone? in that sense, the writing is quite simple. so i think the last election, those houses are around 2 weeks ago. the, the technology was around 41 percent. that was the lowest is the top is removed or

please allow me to pop in 1979. so these decline or the turnout is quite a border, some for this particular accomplishment to you. but on the other hand, because seeing that too many and less and less believing in actions. and they do not to be that the elections are changed with their bodies. and after by 2 joints and full size, the see that the tool now is it's in a sense of the year it is the primary sources. and whenever the rodney and the surprises say, well look at the 5 to now it's quite high. so here at least to minutes, i know in the last couple of collections that is not the case. so that's why we had expected the particular stops here. to mobilize the means to, to, to, to have a high turn all the elections, such as sat on june 21st. so thank you very much. that sounds just,

there's results reporting that live from tehran in colombia, president, gustavo petro. we'll travel to a southern region on friday in response to the deteriorating security situation that i spent. a group of 4 masonic rebels has long john offensive against state forces. alexander, i'm get to the, for some of the top, a series of explosions of rock columbia. it's called a tile county region over the past several days. this is what's left of a police station in the town of morales, after a blast killed several officers and injured and the 6 others believed the fark, m. c. a rebel group is to blame for the violence. the groups western faction walked away from the stocks with the government in april, starting a full scale assault and the region where they operate. law set back out on the way . we'll say we want to go see a new c spy with the

e. m. c. this criminal organization has shown with its attacks against civilians in this region that a truce isn't possible. president gustavo pay through order defense minister in the military leadership to immediately travel to the area and establish a permanent security council calling for a total offensive against the group. he also replaced the armies chief general louisa spina who had come under fire for the deteriorating security situation. galka rescued then say they have been increasingly terrorized by the group sales. it's very distressing, especially for the children have know what this fighting is affecting us all of it . so i'll have to you 50 security expert. elizabeth dickinson says the violence is the consequence of an increasing fragmentation of cologne because internal conflict in recent years. and particularly since the pandemic we saw the ultimate, there was a trend toward consolidation where different,

smaller groups saw an advantage in coming together to look for concessions from the government. now the piece talks have been thrown into crisis. i think the logic is very different. it's much more about controlling and listed economies on the local level, and that is leading us towards a situation with more and more smaller groups, splitting off and looking for their own interest rather than a national accord. the ongoing faith stocks of health to reduce violence in some regions, but not all in the rural south west. for example, crimes such as extortion kidnapping. go to recruit samantha of children have actually increased as criminal groups continue to tightened their grip, leaving the government with no option better, return to a full offensive with civilians. caught in the crossfire. i listen that i get the, i just need a book that a funeral has being held in central nigeria for at least 40 people killed by gun

mentoring and attacking plateau. state on demand. invaded this rock mining community on monday, shooting at the local villages and torching houses. the region has been hedge with violence or control of resources any that can you know, strife. last december, at least 200 people were killed during a similar raid on. mostly christian villages in the us, the small town in the state of iowa has been almost wide, taught by tornadoes, killing several people. differential wayne and high winds cause widespread damage to greenfield. authorities say they're still trying to assess the scale of the disaster. if in days of heavy storms in the midwest region of the united states and saying in the us, the criminal trial, a former president, donald trump, is entering its final phase. on tuesday, the defense team rested its case without calling trump to testify. the former president discharge with 34 accounts, so falsifying business records to hide hush money payments. to an adult fil

mattress christian flu may report from new york. the defense rest of its case and the 1st ever criminal trial of a former us president. after calling 2 witnesses, and donald trump wasn't one of them. instead, they honed in on robert costello a lawyer who disputed claims that donald trump knew all about efforts to islets and adult film star and paid his former fixer michael cohen to do so. terms of payments to colon are at the heart of the charges, the faces $34.00 accounts of falsifying business records. that cohen admitted on the stand that he's lied under oath before the prosecution had no choice, but to put michael cohen on the stand. and that's what they did. of course he present certain difficulties. the jury saw documents e mails invoices, phone records, and even checks signed by donald trump and heard from stormy daniels who was paid to keep quiet in the run up to the 2016 presidential election about an affair. she
