development of imagination... >> sir ken robinson talk to al jazeera only on al jazeera america
2:01 pm
plans part of the peacef process led by john considerry, will be live in jerusalem in just a minute, first, let's have a look now at how we got to this point. under kerry's plan, israel would release 104 prisoners in four batches. in return, the palestinians agreed not to join u.n. organization or sign any u.n. treaties. the two sides would then agree to discuss peace
2:02 pm
talks before a 29th deadline. but, when steal failed to release the remaining prisoners as scheduled on march the 29th, the palestinian president felt free to sign paperwork allowing palestinians to join 15 u.n. treaties and protocols. >> let's go live now to jerusalem, and stephanie decker, so stephanie, it seems very much as though both sides have broken the agreements under the kerri initiative, where does it leave the peace process now. >> well, it leaves it at a very uncertain future, the palestinians will tell you that the israelis broke first, by not releasing that final batch last saturday. they then gave a tuesday deadline, they still hadn't heard, and this is when they took that step, to go and sign 15 treaties and dream is now
2:03 pm
saying because they did that at a time, the palestinians knew that they were finalizing the release of these prisoners, and therefore, now this has to be canceled. it is a lot of back and forth, we know they held a meeting last night, on wednesday night, the palestinian and israeli chief negotiators with the u.s. envoy here, and that didn't go well, the language we are being told from the media is that the israeli negotiator, said you need to cancel these international treaties that you signed also if you -- because if you don't, we are going to impose sanctions and that has to do with money, because israel collects tax on behalf of the palestinians and that was the response from the palestinians if you do that, we will go to u.n. and sue you for war crimes so it is ant very happy moment. people will tell you it is difficult, the door hasn't closed i think. we need to make that clear, israel has said that they need to reassess a way forward, but i don't think anyone at the moment is very
2:04 pm
happy with each other. againle, april 29th is the deadline. >> and it is also depressingly familiar, when we discuss the peace protest, what do you think is going to happen next? what is john kerry saying? perhaps his intervention, could be vital? >> well, two secretary of state is going through a tough time, he said we will have a solution, and than half way through it became rather than peace talks then at some point it became nonbiding i think he realized how difficult a task he took on. almost like a personal challenge. he is very committed we saw him fly in here
2:05 pm
unexpected 15 hos on the ground, flew back to europe, was going to fly back before the palestinians made this announcement. me has made it clear there's only so much he can do. it's up to the palestinians to solve this, i think he used the analogy to bring the horse to water, but i think the palestinians will tell you that the americans are not putting much pressure on israel. they will say that israel broke the agreement, and clearly the u.s. has no leverage. so we have is to see how this pans out, to know if these have a future. >> all right, for now, thank you very much. live for us in jerusalem. >> now, the authorities in ukraine have accused the ousting government of using hired killers to undermine the opposition. for more on this, in european news center, in london, lauren?

2:22 pm
general abdul is a war lord, he is widely reported to be at least partly responsible for the massacre of 2,000 taliban prisoners in 2001. that would make it larder for an administration to make peace with the taliban. and the pragmatic general often switches sides, he has been allied with almost every afghan leader since 1979. but he needs the 1 million plus votes he can cast. >> when charismatic leaders emerge from history, they become more than the embodiment of their individual beings. people literally -- when hester had respect, and harnessed that energy, that is now focused on the individual, to
2:23 pm
collective process his advantage is his ethnicity, his passion, easily the major ethnic group in the country, so he mite get their vote. bringing him onboard won't be enough to get him the vote he needs in fact it may put some people off, he also doesn't have a running mate, and they are the second largest ethnic group. so that may also reduce his appeal. for thousands of afghans as well as iraqi interpreters have risked their lives helping u.s. fors but for most of them, promises of a life in the u.s. have remained unfulfilled. they are still waiting for visas and time could be running out. living outside washington the past few months has been an an justment. but with the help of his

hundreds like him, still waiting, that the united states is letting down. people were made a promise. they were told if they gave one year of service, they would be able to come to the united states safely and find refuge. well, that's a promise we made them, and it's our duty. >> the u.s. state department won't say how many applicants are still baiting for visas or how long the process takes. but it says it has the responsibility to ensure that none of the applicants is a threat to the united states. it says in many cases applicants have failed to prove it has put them in danger, it is a claim that infuriated him. he said he was on a taliban kill list for months he hid in kabul until he and his family were granted entry to the united states, he says there are thousands like him, still in danger of being kill bid the taliban. >> they will torture them, they will send

2:31 pm
joining us live from washington, d.c. thank you very much indeed for talking to us here. >> thank you. >> first of all, how would you characterize this particular moment in this particular french of negotiations for peace talks? the kerry initiative, because we have been here several times before, how would you describe it? >> well, i think this is a critical phase, in the current peace talks. the events that are bubbles up now, really signify deep frustration on both sides at the lack of problem, and ifky comment on the palestinian leadership to submit ally cases i think it stems from a deep sense of frustration over the difficulty in obtaining israeli concessions over settlements the status of jerusalem, and also in the four round of prisoner releases.
2:32 pm
so the negotiations are reaching a critical phase. >> and i suppose the israelis would argue that the palestinians by trying to sign up to those international ors that they had agreed not to, that they are being slightly precipitous, given that march the 29th is not long gone by, and possibly some leeway with regard to releasing this final batch of prisoners. >> the government would argue that, but it is also important to point out that they are still talking and the negotiations have not broken down, and it's important to look at this the palestinian leader slip decision, as a bargaining tactic. importantly, the leadership did not apply for membership in the cut. this would have been an incredibly polarizing decision.
2:33 pm
so be with holding from this there are hopes that the talks can be salvages. >> now you talked earlier about this requiring additional u.s. mustle into the situation, how much political capital is on the part of the white house is currently riding on this what i'm calling the kerry initiative? >> well, you know, today secretary kerry remarked about the palestinian and israeli leadership critical responsibility in taking ownership of the process. he said that you can take -- lead a horse to water be uh youn't can make it drink, and i think that's very true in this case. and this message must not only be reenforce bedty u.s. leadership, but it must also be reinforced by publics. so even even if this process fames or agrees the u.s. needs to do more
2:34 pm
to engage with with civil society actors in the palestinian territories. >> thank you very much for your notes very interesting indeed. talking to us live from washington and we will stay in the united states. because investigators in the state of texas are looking into the background of a u.s. soldier who opened fire at the fort hood military base. rosalyn jordan has the latest. >> despite the warning it was too late. in just minutes fort hood army base suffering another mass shooting. >> we have confirmed that there are three victims who were killed, and then the shooter was killed. and there are 16 injured investigates are frying to learn why the shooter

2:36 pm
hassan killed 13 people and injured many more, even soldiers with badle field experience, said they were more anxious this time to reunite with their loved ones. >> this time is worse because i'm on the outside and can't be there for her on the inside. >> investigators will now try to figure out why it happened while they and the oba bam ma administration will fry to assure the public they are doing something to try to stop this from happening again. >> chad has decided to withdraw it's peace keeping process, and this news comes just a day after a union decision, to deploy more p toos there low pressure let's get more on that. >> the e.u. that it will send 800 peace keepers to the capital, chad currently has around 850 troops in the 6,000 strong african union mission, and alongside 2,000 french soldiers.
2:37 pm
jackie in paris explains what lies behind the decision. >> the decision has been taken because chad feels it is unfairly blames for all the problems going on. they claim they are the victims of what is being described as a gratuitous and malicious campaign. it is worth pointing out that the decision to withdraw from the peace keeping force comes just days after chad soldiers opened fire on crowds in the capital ban gee killing about 30 people. now they say they came under attack first, but never the less, there have been repeated remarks made in private by members of the i.u. peace keeping force that the presence of those in the capitals haven't always been helpful. and there was a wide suspicion, that they were at best accomplice sit with the mainly muslim militia. and on occasions even the
2:38 pm
boundary between the chaddian contingent of the peace keeping and that militia was quite fluid. never the less, the departure will leave a hole in the peace keeping force in a time when international officials are underlining that the security situation in the c.a. respect is deteriorating. in fact the u.n. general is calling for a number of troops to be reenforced. obviously, they are not going to leave straight away, they say that they will wait until practicalities are agreed on, however, at the end of may a european contingent, numbers about 800 should be on the ground in the central african republic, and they will turn expense make up for the departure. germany's largest airline says it will not negotiate with pilots as long as they are on strike.
2:39 pm
the main issue is the early retirement age being increased. the change reflects longer life expect tensies. >> taking aim at the government and the union in mass street protests. >> joinings us live now from madrid, why are protestors so angry. >> well, they are fighting to get their government to spend more time worrying about them, and less time worrying about paying back europe, because that is the feeling among the protestors. they feel that the government has it's priorities wrong, and pushing forward with these measures. you have to remember, 24s a country that has been through a terrible financial time, the housing bubble burst, the banked had to be bailed out. and now it is pay back time.
2:40 pm
there are becoming more and more unpopular because they are effecting more and more people. on wednesday, there was an official announcement that unemployment had fallen by 1%. but it is still really high, it still sits at 25%, which means 5 million people are without a job, and critics will say that even though unemployment has fallen that doesn't mean people have been given full time jobs it just means some people have gone into self-employment, so they can feed their families. and feeding families is ask issue here, especially among the poorest, because they say out of all the countries it is the poor spaniards the poor people in 24 country who are struggling the most. so there is a feeling here, and acknowledgement that yes, europe does need to be paid back, but that the government needs to concentrate on what is happening at home. the feeling is that the government needs to concentrate on lowering
2:41 pm
unemployment, lowering taxes brings up the standard of living. and only when that is sorted then getting back to europe, and writing one out for $56 billion. okay, thank you very much indeed. dozens of migrants have tried to scale the border fence. they manage to make it to the top of the fence, but the efforts are thwarted by police. thousands of migrants each year fry to make it out of morocco into into spain. britain queen elizabeth has met pope francis. he is the fifth pope to meet the queen. during the meeting they exchanged gifts she gave him a selection of produce from her garden, and he offed a royal or b for the great grandson prince george. makes the local pollution is effected wide area of

northern europe, here an exceptional blanket of smog has effected eastern england for a second day. emergency workers have reported a rise in people complaining of breathing problems. that's news from europe, back now to martin in doha. >> lauren, thank you. now, amazon is moving into the business of television, the online retailer has launched fire t.v., which is a device that allowed you, to stream video directly on to your t.v. screen. and as kristen reports it is a direct challenge to a more traditional ways of doing television. >> amazon unveiled it's fire t.v. on the stage meant to look like your living room. the set top box promises viewers the convenience of streaming thele pas they want, whenever they want. with the ease of switching on your television. >> so amazon fire t.v. is a tiny box, it has huge specks. we with have packed in
2:43 pm
loads of entertainment. and it is at tin credible price of $99. the device letters users crime video from amazon's own video library, as well as from services such as netflix, and hue lue. amazon is capitalizing on a growing trend, accessing entertainment from the internet. >> this is nbc nightly news with brian williams. >> instead of is old fashioned way. >> the number of american whose pay for television through satellite, cable, or fiber services fell in 2013, by a quarter of a million people. that's the first ever full year decline. ratings are down across the board as well. young people who grew up on the internet are driving the trend. >> the few of the people here watch television. >> i mostly watch my favorite shows on netflix
2:44 pm
and hulu. >> do you have a traditional cable subscription? >> no, pretty much all screens. either on hbo go, or netflix. >> not a lot of college students have t.v.s and if they do, they are hooking it up to netflix, or whatever. >> experts say amazon may profit more from driving to content then from the devices themselves. >> it has all this content, it has prime instant video, it basically has been previously giving this content to other set top boxes. but now it can control the whole experience. of course, what people will want to watch in the future is hard to predict, but amazon is just one of a growing number of companies betting that this is how they will do it. al jazeera, new york.
2:45 pm
technology antist and joining us live in california in the u.s. and thank you very much for talking to us here. how big a change does this represent in the way we consume television? >> i think streaming represented an enormous change, and especially if you talk to younger people. my son does haven't a television and doesn't want one. my daughter has a t.v., which is one of the big competitors to this new product. we rarely watch broadcast television, mostly just news and sports when it comes to movies and t.t. vie shows. >> so with amazon launching this device now, it is pitching itself for market share against some fairly big players we are talking about apple and google. >> right, i think afterle
2:46 pm
and players are big players. and also ruku is a big player in the streaming area. but really it is pitting itself against broadcast, and satellite, still the very majority of people that do watch television, still watch with it on satellite, and i think the streaming is growing and this could be a big boost to streaming because amazon obviously has a distribution clout that goes beyond what the other companies do. >> so what does it mean for people like me who work in conventional television? how long have we got. >> well, you have a very long period of time, if you think of yourself as informational providers. you need to get beyond the idea that everybody will watch you over the air on cable, and get with the motion that people will stream. and of course, al jazeera does stream. just as railroads some of them evolved into airline, the ones that didn't, are having a tougher time. and so broadcast needs to move on, but the information gathering is
2:47 pm
still critical. >> and i hate to ask this, what does it mean for that old fashion social interaction, conversation, in the sitting room of an evening between a family? >> i don't think with that has gotten any worse. social interaction is something we need to work on among ourselves. there will always be technology, but technology is no excuse for ignoring relationships. but in terms of your career, i think there's a long future for great journalists whether they are broadcasting, streaming, or whatever the technology is out there. >> so we are okay, we are safe here at al jazeera, thank you very much. really nice to talk to you. >> i think so. thank you. still to come, how the been he dash correct team is inentiring people across the country.

17 of the first, it was downhill from there, they stumbled to 54 for 3, and they just started to reach 80 for four before a heavy rain put them into their chase. and that's resulted in sri lanka winning on the louis. >> we have been a good -- a close game as well. but, you know, time to get behind the finals and i think we deserve to be in the finals. we played good correct and we are happy we got in the finals. >> yeah, disappointing to come at a tournament like this. but credit to sri lanka, they won the toss. knew probably somewhere it was wrong, but look, we have had a good run in this tournament. it is just sad that we
2:51 pm
got knocked out. that's life, you move on and start planning for the next world cup. >> now away from the world cup spotlight, bangladesh's women's team is back, popularity of correct and the lure of the game's big money nowing a lot to pick up the sport in the socially conservative nation. more. these women are leading a quiet revolution. just a few years ago, the team didn't even exist. making the choice to play sports at a professional level isn't an easy choice. they hope others will follow the example of his players. >> i think these girls have a good opportunity to be role models. to encouraging more girls
2:52 pm
and i think it has encouraged enough. >> it's been a tough tournament, heavy defeats have left their spirits low, but the crowds are still pouring in, there are many women and young girls among the supporters. >> it is great to watch our girls play. and to see them represent our country. >> the popularity of the game means cricket has plenty of what every team needs sponsors. but other sports still sufferer a lack of funding, facilities and a lack of interest. women's wrestling has probably had it harder than the rest. over the years the players have had to face down several protests by conservative groups. but they are still determined to pursue their love of the sport. >> i don't understand why
2:53 pm
