when you told me that people like these and you receive these you think that you want to be seeing a person over seventy five there's something about this area that is helping young life i mean organic here it's not a trend here it's what you have and don't have to and it's here and although they are eating and smoking and so on then last secret techno this time all knowledge is iraq. this is al jazeera. hello i'm sammy's a die and this is the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes i must say as it's dissolving its government in gaza shaking up the palestinian political landscape. leaders in both iraq and turkey warned kurds against going
4:01 pm
ahead with an independence referendum. the range of crisis bangladesh imposes new restrictions on the refugees from me and mine. and i'm joining the day's sports news is a huge crash at the start of the singapore grump ray knocks out title contender sebastian vettel have the very latest coming up in the program. the palestinian fighter movement has cautiously welcomed the pledge from its rival hamas to hold talks and the general election hamas released a statement saying it's willing to end its feud with father which controls the occupied west bank a mass also vowed to dissolve its administrative committee which governs girls a deputy leader is called the valid positive and promising if true. force joins us live now from gaza city so how master said it's dissolve this
4:02 pm
government who is running the show in gaza then. well still the same people that were running the show yesterday for now at least there are three ministries which have always been attached reported towards the. based administration the occupied west bank administration of the fatah led palestinian authority the other ministries the other officials are so far reporting to an acting executive committee however they are both in words and indeed it seems ready now to dissolve it entirely the. spokesman the representative who deals with hamas in terms of the. problems that they've had for the last ten years he is saying that stands ready to send the consensus government here it's just a question of working out the precise timings and they've been informed that hamas is ready to receive that government so it does seem at least that this part of the deal is ready to be implemented however there remain all sorts of obstacles in the
4:03 pm
detail of all this which could still cause problems as they have in the past when there's been other attempts to resolve the separation between hamas here in gaza and fatah in the occupied west bank here's what one political analyst here in gaza was telling me about those problems a couple of hours ago. the palestinians are the palestinian division has been going on for more than ten years now and over the past ten years we have seen a number of initiatives a number of agreements between hamas and fatah. and other others. and unfortunately all of these have failed to put the palestinian division. and i have to say that the palestinians right now are skeptical about. this new initiative by the egyptians and as we all have been saying that the devil is in the details so yes there is a new understanding between. but probably ones they dig deep into the.
4:04 pm
obstacles in the coming days and weeks with regard to how to get together how to put an end to a division that has been going on for ten years and have been created on the grounds both and. one of the big questions for people there does this mean potentially the end of the. well the israeli siege it could mean an end to or at least a greater easing of the situation on the southern border the rougher crossing with egypt that's something that hamas here is certainly very keen to to get sorted out in their language in the repositioning earlier this year in may they made it very clear that the muslim brotherhood was no longer part of the of the founding documents of hamas that is a key that's been a key sticking point for egypt so there's potential there as for the other great
4:05 pm
problem that people here in gaza have had over the last few months that's been the squeeze that's been put on this place to pressurize hamas by fatter we've seen fatah employees have their salaries cut by thirty percent and more consequentially for everyone here has been the cuts to electricity supplies as well which has been something that's been imposed by fatah so we were in the refugee camp nearby here just in the last hour talking to someone who's been living there under this increasingly difficult situation he says that he's maybe fifty percent optimistic that there might be a deal this time but the thing that they really want to see and can be effectuated instantaneously presumably by by fatah is a lifting of these pressure tactics that they've been imposing on hamas to get precisely this kind of deal this kind of response from hamas. forces there thanks so much for that now at least ten iraqi soldiers have been killed in an attack by eisel fighters it happened in the western province near the border with
4:06 pm
jordan several towns in an arm bar are still held by eisel and eighteen turkish armored vehicles have arrived at a crossing on the border with syria under the terms agreed at the talks in kazakstan this month turkish forces will move into opposition controlled areas inside syria to create deescalation zones the area in the border crossing around has been held by rebels since two thousand and thirty. turkey has called the plan for a kurdish referendum on independence in northern iraq and the issue of national security iraq is calling the vote scheduled for september the twenty fifth playing with fire reports from kurdistan capital. the iraqi prime minister hydrilla body reacted with strong words to the kurdish parliament's decision to hold an independence referendum on september twenty fifth if you challenge the constitution
4:07 pm
and if you challenge the borders off you are on the border of the region then there will not be this is a public and vacation to countries in the region to violate iraq because as well which is but again justification. about these words were met with a mixture of defiance and anger in the kurdish region of northern iraq the president of the kurdistan regional government masoud barzani spoke at a rally north of erbil in the city of the whole. rejected our partnership not us if you have a look at the iraqi constitution it says the commitment to this constitution keeps the free unity of iraq we decided to live with baghdad but they didn't accept our partnership now they have to accept we will be good neighbors if they want except our partnership we won't be their servants turkey's president also voiced his concerns referring to his country's national security so. we will have
4:08 pm
a meeting with the iraqi prime minister mr a body in the united states and from what we can see our goal is the same our goal is not dividing iraq but now the northern iraqi authority is taking a step towards the separation of iraq. one source of tension is the disputed territory of coke which the kurds say belongs to them but is also claimed by iraq the kurds have been clear that the referendum will take place in per cook and have sent troops to the city but the local iraqi shia led militia says any ballot box. as an act of aggression the international community also reacted the u.s. special representative to the anti eisel coalition said that the u.s. would not support any kurdish referendum and in fact said that the iraqis and the kurds should get together and concentrate on the fight against isis and that's also a view echoed by the british foreign office across the kurdish region flags have been waving and nationalism amongst this distinct ethnic group is the fever pitch
4:09 pm
ordinary kurds and their leaders see this referendum as their moment a chance for self-determination and their own nation state something they've been striving for for navy a century however some party saying time is not now but they may back the popular movement that seems to be on track to hold the referendum despite the objections of iraq the united states and opposition across the region iran can be. the u.a.e. has carried out an air raid on the yemeni city of aden against forces loyal to the country's internationally recognized president. the fighting on saturday is the latest escalation in a rift between the u.a.e. and yemen's president. both are members of a saudi led coalition that have been fighting rebels since two thousand and fifteen . police in london have made a second arrest in connection with a bomb attack on an underground train on friday a twenty one year old man was detained in the west london suburb of hounslow on

seven hundred women in the u.s. who die each year during or shortly after childbirth two things that are guaranteed to every single one of us are birth and death that's it there's nothing else that's guaranteed right and so i experience both of those things in twenty seven hours it's an increasingly common story in the united states even as maternal mortality falls elsewhere around the globe more american mothers die in the first year of their child's life than in any other industrialized nation a study published in the lancet medical journal says the u.s. ranks forty six in the world in terms of maternal mortality with twenty six women for each hundred thousand live births that's more than three times the rate of neighboring canada due to the longstanding inability for women to access free or low cost health care in the united states women in the united states tend to enter pregnancy much sicker than counterparts in other developed nations so women enter

4:30 pm
implementation of the international and lows we need to accept double standard in this regard when it turned careers the spirit of coexistence and cheve really only justice if we could say we can lot tyrone a we cannot say that tyrone a is existence and we cannot at the same time say that we have only to work with this tabulation meant of. dialogue constant. that is based on mutual respect in the dealing between countries this school struct of dialogue is very important for building a tolerant and p. is trust confidence are all over the place qatar the state of qatar have has
4:31 pm

4:32 pm
the result i guess we have seen so many aspects of misunderstanding of religion and the mis protégé of religious text and we need to understand each other and to respect each other's doctrines we need to face head critic and we need to do a lot. to face those who. make a lot of efforts to kill innocents and to use bad their logic. to serve their own purposes and this regard i'd like to say that religions in themselves are way way behind this idea because religious are good for tolerance and we need to live in peace but those people that terrorists may belong to. the core of the
4:33 pm
region is. a law. and to respect their paper and in our world most of the world read. jaxtr risen during the fight with the resume we need to know that terrorism is not a particular phenomenon there are political and other logical reasons behind this phenomena and undoubtedly there are relations between the u.s. and this landmark world might have and might be affected at the same time that's why there's a national community needs a lot of channels and dialogues on the platforms to bridge the gap between these ideas and to support. coexistence and tolerance and unite the followers of different religious and we need to face the egg no rent from
4:34 pm
east or west we need to correct the concepts and we need to phase in a tough way to the moments that want to spread hatred and we need to reach a sort of rapprochement between papers that is to achieve peace is an aspiration for the entire world and this regard to distinguish relations between this. and the not that is states of america is facing challenges the main challenge is to sort out the policy in israel a problem and to put an end to the conflict in the middle east the world is not convinced because the selective policies in applying the international lows is not quite enough and we need to be based on justice and furnace to achieve the goals of every part say it's quite important to get away from
4:35 pm
those who wanted to hear democracy we need to have democracy between countries will need to respect the server and his of contrails and in this regard we look forward to the international community and the u.s. in particular. under the new administration there is willing to achieve peace in the middle east we praise the u.s. administration after efforts and we president. restore and resume. serious talks in order to sort out the problem according to time limited and according to the arab initiative and according to the international lows according to the two state solution accepted by the international community the stablish myth of the palestinian state with its east resolution as its capital on. the one nine hundred sixty seven terrorism is who why it's carried phenomena and here i'd like to say that the violence heya trade tense areas has
4:36 pm
a lot in the corruption and creation of these terrorist organizations and there is a national world or the the world in general has in bad enough. facing this terrorism phenomena and i feel sorry to say that there are more conflicts disputes sufferings are there the more this national community is not able to sort these problems out there is a national community has to adopt or will necessary procedures to fight this phenomena because it's a threat against the end of the society is countries and it's a threat to the human rights cuts are in this regard has always condemned all types and kinds of terrorism and has also called for more serious
4:37 pm
participation of the world in fires in this phenomena that is opposing all religious all civilizations all religions and servile as asians and in this regard i need not to see more depression in france. of the use we need not to see more unemployment and poverty and violence this is. this will decrees this will increase the phenomenon and will will increase the anger the terrorism and extremism is something that we need to fight it's quite important to stress that extremism the political movement that violence against civilians and again this public him to tears is a phenomenon by the world since the start of the modern age and it has nothing to do with certain religion over certain paper but we need to depend on the heritage
4:38 pm
that is there in all religions too poor for the not being values tolerance constructs and dialogue for the sake of the human society it's not accepted to blame the muslim countries or muslim societies and their pretext saying that there is a relation between religion and terrorism is not true and it's a fine hour to work other problems in the fields of economy in doctrine we need to define terrorism away from other. matters we need to phase terrorism in order to avoid any more creation of terrorism agonise papers and societies here against you have a rich and jan that that says that you are keen to know what's going on and to predict the future in
4:39 pm
a way or another will express my thanks to you i wish old europe made things to be very successful i wish your forum will help in the creation of rapprochement between us and this law mcwhirter serve our main issues our men closes and peace be upon you. he will but our cattle. those were the words there of carter's foreign minister dressing the gathering there calling for the international community to increase channels of dialogue he's speaking of course at the brookings institute forum which is being held in new york that's coming a few days before the united nations general assembly will tackle a number of issues including those close to what the brookings institute is now discussing we did see a picture of cutaway there shot because as amir was there perhaps indicating how important the issue of regional peace and stability is for all the leaders in this
4:40 pm
world we can bring in marwan bashar al jazeera senior political analyst he joins us from london so. there this selective application of international law is not enough the words there of the qatari foreign minister i guess if it all goes to highlight house high the stakes are for leaders in governments in the middle east right now. absolutely and you know i mean we've heard many speeches. during many years of this sort of conference about the relations between the u.s. and the standard world and we're always confronted with two main issues that dilemma of whether to terrorism that has come to define a to a large degree the relationship between west and east since nine eleven is it rooted in religion islam or is rooted in geopolitics and that this respect of
4:41 pm
international law such as allowing countries to occupy another allowing countries to invade another hence leading to more terror and i think qatar has stood since nine eleven and i would say and i would add courageously. on the on the side of geopolitics the argument that the middle east and the arab and muslim world have been victim of bitter interventions occupations and the lights over the last century and that this is the root cause of terrorism not islam not religion and that the terrorists are not popular in the muslim world they are a minority there are very few of them although they are major troublemakers and so on and so forth so i think in a sense if you allow me sammy i would say the following because cut that of course has been facing such charges as supporting that or so forth i think the main point here especially making this very particular speech in the united states for the
4:42 pm
presence of the emir of qatar is to say the following if you are really interested in combating terrorism don't exploit that titled terrorism in order to fight any which opposition or people or group that you dislike in the end of the day terrorism has to be defined in a detailed. way and terrorist has to be focused on without confusing them with all sorts of political oppositions in the out of the muslim world otherwise if you're going to consider every muslim or every islamist a terrorist or a terrorist supporter you will never win the battle against that those and we heard the foreign minister make that plea that the world should never support tyranny it sounds a bit like you know he's calling for the world not to forget the principles perhaps of the arab spring of empowerment of people and democracy and so on and so forth
4:43 pm
but looking at how the politics of the region has gone since then and the pressure and the accusations made even against carter as being a sponsor or supporter of terrorism is that sort of call falling on deaf ears now. what to some degree it is unfortunately in the middle east as we see counter-revolution prevail in so many places and in the arab and muslim world especially in places like egypt but also in yemen and. of course far less the lesser degree but certainly in syria and so in libya and so on so forth so you know you could say and this is a very important here also to highlight so cut that is not a democracy so why it's got a calling for democracy or supporting democracy and this is an important question that many people ask and here the question has always been for the middle east is that you know if there are various governing systems in the middle east or
4:44 pm
elsewhere that's fine as long as there is no direct repression there is no day erect violence there is no direct confrontation and the killings of not only thousands but hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of people in certain countries and so in the end of the day this is really about at least relative justice and about restored active justice about furnace and the lights about prosperity about economics about doctrine so in the end of the day yes i think the principles of the arab spring freedom justice and and social liberty and so on so forth it's all been important and remains important and to a large degree the kind of dictatorship and terror any of we have in the middle east and the muslim world in general would always be an engine for terror or a moron bashar thanks for that. and talking about cars other countries signed a deal with the united kingdom to buy twenty four fighter jets the sale of the
4:45 pm
