see six french ministers and the accompanying delegations which will pave the way for the giant committee to be between the two states for the development of mutual corporations between the two states, and the best answer is peace for the entire region. we together with the president discussed the development of the peace process in the middle east and the challenges facing the process. we will also discuss about developments and the latest incidents taken place in the region and it's impact on the whole world may lead them to national peace. we emphasize to the president that what undermines most the peace process which may be and the failure is they continue the

israeli expanding settlement on the palestinian including the eastern and the hostilities and hostile practices by the israeli citizens including vandalism, arson, raising of farms and assault on places of worship and the continued imprisonment of thousands of palestinian presidents and why we adhere to the last comprehensive lasting permanent peace. we will continue to exert efforts to reach a diplomatic solution that guarantees the establishment of peace, stability and reason ending the israeli occupation that started in 1967 and the establishment of the suffering and independent palestine with eastern jerusalem and it's a lynchpin to security

and stability in a region that will have positive impact on the countries and i will not fail to remember to heed the efforts experted by the u.s. president obama and the secretary of the state john kerry and also the international quarters including russia and the european union through the resolutions made by them that settlement by israel is unlawful. we also hail resolution taken by the european commission with regards to the products of the israeli settlement which will cause the israeli government to reconsider its policies of expanding settlements. it will also move forward the peace process. we hail the tour adopted by you mr. president thank you very much and we thank the european union and when we call for in

the products of the settlement does not mean that we call for by cutting the israeli products. our stance together with yours is known towards the israeli settlement. we cannot forget the continuous efforts exerted by france and the conference held in 2007 was a success. we look forward to continuing -- to continue working with you for holding another conference in paris at your convenience and it is with pleasure that we commend the economic support provided by the government of france which stands to this. in terms of the assistance to the budget, all the cooperation

through the france including secretary of water, sewage, education, technical support and aid show it best in the resent school for training of palestinianens and we will work for further development and cooperation and partnership, cultural, social and economical together with the political discussion and constitution and here i would like to heed the agreements signed today for the budget, local administration and establishment of a french school in palestine in partnership with the municipality. it will no doubt be a big one for knowledge and science.

on this occasion we bank on the efforts exerted by france and the auspices of president olan for the success of the conference for support of the palestinian cities. such partnerships and by mutual agreement with the french and european institutions carry great significance as they play a big role reenforcing the bonds of friendship and peace among peoples and governments. once again mr. president i thank you and i welcome you in this dangerous visit which will contribute to giving an additional impetus and momentum to our deeply rooted relations extending all the appreciation

to the government of the people of france. welcome you, mr. president, always to palestine. [applause] mr. president, i'd like to thank you first of all for this welcome which you have given me. and the trust which you have given us. this is the fourth time we are meeting each other, exchanging opinions since the beginning of my presidential mandate. it's my first time here in palestine. the time of this visit and coming here as the head of an

important delegation. as you know and i thank you. the ministers, the parlamentarians, friends of palestine but also i want to point out to you representatives of the jewish committee of france and rumala, this is the spirit of the people of france because the commitment of france is not something which is very resent in order to recognize the rights of both sides, the rights of a sovereign state of palestine and the rights of security for israel. these are not contradictory rights. these are rights which can

strength eneach other and give the best guaranty for security and peace for the israelis and to have a reliable palestinian state. and at the same time it cannot be a rival state for palestine unless there is a guaranty of israel's security. these are the principles which i go back to submittal and you mentioned them in 1981. they have been referred to regularly by my predecessors and so with even greater strength today i remind you this, because there is a peace process which has been undertaken, it is complicated, it is difficult, and it's easy to understand

because this conflict has been going on for decades and now we need to end it. you have accepted continuing discussions in order to seek a final agreement which will exhaust all the demands and will set down the rules, parameters, for the regions to be able to live in peace. you have also made gestures and one always has to make gestures if you want to reach peace. you have wished for there to be a discussion on all subjects in order to reach a fair solution. france trusts you and israel and

as well as the palestinian authority. it is not up to france to decide what the agreement should be about because it is you who has to make peace. we can only encourage you and to say to you what are the principles for us two states for two people living together side by side in peace and security with jerusalem as the capitol of the two states. safe, secure, recognized borders based on those of 1967, yes, but with the possibility of exchanging territory. and the possibility of international organization, of compensation, our palestinian

friends recognize these parameters but we must go through to the end and at one time commit ourselves. >> reporter: you are watching a live press conference from the west bank and a meeting with the palestinian president, let's cross over to al jazeera's mike who has been monitoring this press conference for us and mike is there, mike, both leaders not surprisingly focus on the stalled peace talks issue. how significant is tell visit? he has met with the israelis and palestinians but to what extent would both sides consider him a fair person? >> you heard from the palestinian president warm words of welcome and one must remember and was mentioned in the speech that france recognized the state of palestine in the u.n. general assembly last year and supportive of the eu settlement

outlines which have been brought into being as well. so certainly france seemed very much in palestinian eyes as a good friend and as a fair interlocker in terms of it recognizes the palestinian state and the words that he spoke there particularly concerning the stumbling blocks within negotiation, principally as he pointed out, settlements are words that he hopes the french president will take back with further talks with the prime minister in the course of the day. >> reporter: mike, in terms of confidence billing gestures and we heard about this, what measures would he be looking for? >> well, we had the question, a phrase that has been used repeatedly every time he refers to the negotiation process and that is gestures. he says that both sides have to make some form of gesture to push this process forward and

not quite clear what exact gestures he is looking at from the palestinians at this point but he said that the palestinian state requires the recognition of israeli security. now whether this is some kind of code for palestinian recognition of israel as a jewish state, well, that is open to question at this particular point but it's very unclear as to exact gestures the palestinians can make on the israeli side and they would argue strongly and so too would the french president that freezing the settlement building would be more than a gesture and actually could be a crow bartow -- bar, to move this process forward. >> reporter: time for a short break and indonesia is talking about spying planes and joe will be here to tell you how the

world champion set a new record in the sport. more on that. stay with us. of the people until we restore our fr

and getting planes in and out of here. >> reporter: what are the major sort of medical problems your teams are seeing on the ground in terms of injuries and disease, what are you treating people for? >> just tell you i'm not a doctor but the things that the doctors are telling me is that they are seeing wounds from people going back in their houses who cut themselves or fall off roofs and that sort of thing. some of the other hospitals are treating wounds from the typhoon that are effected. there is a little bit of tetnus and upper respiratory infection and diarrhea. >> reporter: how are you getting to the remote areas that many of the relief operators had difficulty getting to? >> darren, i hear what you are saying about having trouble getting there but we drove down
