1:05 pm
concerned that the protests liter might lead to confrontation with the security forces and certainly we saw that on friday here in jerusalem internationally well there's going to be a meeting in cairo the number of states are going to discuss their next steps and what they can do this stage it's not clear what we could do one option may well be that the me recall that ambassadors for negotiation which is really the kind of first step to sure that your diplomatic discuss that any sort of decision fall short of recalling unilateral completely but certainly expresses some level of annoyance the problem they've got is that there isn't a unified view in all of this certainly publicly many of the countries have been speaking out saying this is not acceptable that what the united states has done through donald trump is essentially jump ahead of the peace process. and we've heard from honda that the idea that my parents will come here and get a warm welcome being sent by the president to try and discuss with both the palestinians and the israelis the thinking behind the decision and the next step
1:06 pm
what we're hearing from the white house is that they thought there would be protests there actually relieved that they're not being quite as bad as he expected . the president we are told has called for calm he wants time for people to discuss the situation and the white house is insistent that what donald trump did was essentially recognize what the israelis have said for many years the facts on the grown and if you're going to be an honest broker in any peace process then you have to be honest about the situation as it exists as we saw in the united nations security council many countries object to the idea of that the idea to would be exactly what the united states has done and so that is why we will see. protests here and elsewhere not just today but in the coming days over the decision made by donald trump about jerusalem and israel's capital alimony thanks sir alan fischer there live in occupied east jerusalem five european nations have asked the trump of ministration to put forward a detailed proposal for peace between the israelis and the palestinians in

a joint statement britain france germany sweden and italy called trump's decision on jerusalem unhelpful the u.n. security council has held an emergency meeting on the issue as mike hanna reports. an animated discussion between the u.s. ambassador and the palestinian representative just one of the urgent conversations taking place around the room even before the session began the packed chamber testament to the depth of international concern and some argue the credibility of the security council itself is under attack if the council does not. act accordingly to what its mind it is which is preserving peace and security then the council might become another occupied territory. speaking by video link from jerusalem the u.n. special coordinator condemned the unilateral u.s. action if the israeli palestinian conflict is not resolved in line with relevant un
1:08 pm
resolutions and in a manner that meets the legitimate national aspirations of both peoples interests being engulfed into the vortex of religious radicalism that has taken over the middle east he took his position on jerusalem remains unchanged speaker after speaker reaffirmed the un's position on the status of jerusalem and we believe that the future status as i said of jerusalem can only be resolved through negotiations criticism too from the staunchest of u.s. allies and the british ambassador also called on president trump to make good his protest commitment to a peace process we welcome his commitment to a two state solution u.s. representative decided the best form of defense is attack over many years the united nations has outrageously been of the world's foremost centers of hostility towards israel the un has done much more damage to the prospects for middle east

peace than to advance one of the one nine hundred nations represented in the chamber on this day the u.s. position was shared only by israel the united states had the courage and to understanding of justice to all physically state or the been known to you as this engine to reward israel is impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region. other jordanian ambassador exchanges high fives of the palestinian representative a key question remains hanging in the chamber how can the u.s. continue to be regarded as an honest broker in attempting to resuscitate a long dormant negotiation process mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. well the tensions come as palestine marks thirteen years since the start of the first intifada uprising it became
1:10 pm
a watershed moment in palestinian resistance to israeli occupation bernard smith reports from gaza. the first intifada was sparked by the deaths of four palestinians in december nine hundred eighty seven. by the time it ended in one nine hundred ninety three more than one thousand one hundred people had died sixteen thousand people had been detained palestinians had already spent two decades struggling with the injustice of living under israeli occupation. intifada the first time palestinians from all parts of society began such an intense resistance the protests evolved from boys throwing rocks and people marching to fighters attacking israeli soldiers and military targets palestinians went on strike and boycotted israeli products. and the police pursued our young people because they refused to turn themselves in. the intifada was called by a number of groups affiliated with the palestinian liberation organization the
1:11 pm
p.l.o. . the group hamas stepped in as well saying on the resistance was the only effective resistance to israeli occupation. from the moment hamas shifted from a peaceful resistance to an armed when israel started to feel the real power of the intifada and. israel's military back thousands of palestinians were arrested on in one thousand nine hundred to four hundred twenty five many of them hamas members were exiled to lebanon former political prisoners say the israelis tortured them. on my feet were tied under an iron chair during interrogation bay hit me in the stomach in genitals. the second intifada began in two thousand when al sharon visited x. a mosque in jerusalem he was leader of the opposition likud party at the time and
1:12 pm
said every israeli had the right to go there. palestinians outraged. is one of the holiest sites in islam. three thousand palestinians and one thousand israelis died over the next five years this is the spot in refugee camp where the first intifada started thirty years ago an israeli patrol who was surrounded by hundreds of teenage boys in the soldiers ran for cover into the buildings here and from there fired indiscriminately into the grounds and since then life for the palestinians here has only gotten worse there are virtually no opportunities for the young people here with gaza and the blockade the malice to me and he will tell you that after twenty five years almost on of talks with the israelis they've seen nothing to come from the furnace with al-jazeera gas one rabbani is a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies he joins us now live from
1:13 pm
amman via skype good to have you with us sir in the thirty years since the first intifada began how the palestinian attitudes to the concept of resistance changed. i don't think it's that the concept has changed but something has to indians continue to realize that the only way of addressing the injustices that they continue to endure and the absence of self-determination and so on will only be addressed if they take matters into their own into their own hands and take the lead in achieving those rights i think there has been considerable dissolution with . the way that these uprisings have been followed so if you look for example what's called the first intifada from one to ninety seven to one nine hundred ninety three this was effectively aborted the all slowed down the subsequent twenty five years of playing to this will go see a sense and then you have
1:14 pm
a second intifada two thousand to two thousand and four that was for all intents and purposes defeated militarily so what was it that was so distinct about the first intifada. well i think there were several aspects that were distinctive of we remember what one nine hundred eighty seven it's like israel has been occupying those territories for twenty years and in the context of the time it was widely praised for its occupation it was course completely running its characterized as a liberal or. an occupation while the rest of the on the arab states were preoccupied when they were up with the iran iraq war israel was approaching its fortieth anniversary and saw this as an opportunity to affect only consigned the palestinian people and the cost to the dustbin of history and then seemingly out of nowhere you had this enormous extraordinary popular mobilization of
1:15 pm
palestinians throughout the occupied territories not only in the refugee camps in the towns and cities but in villages from the breadth and depth of the occupied territories posing this broad based chalons against continued israeli rule. against all the odds really given the enormous brutality and violence of the israeli response and the israelis recognized from the outset that they needed in the words of then prime minister yitzhak shamir to reestablish the barrier of fear among the palestinians ok and they signally failed because whatever israel and its military threw at them at the time the palestinians seem to capable of coming back to continuing their part of the most price so the force so the first intifada was it was about political unity a popular uprising across all segments of society how masses has in the past few days called for a new intifada is there enough coherence among palestinians to stage an intifada on
1:16 pm
the scale of the scope of the first one thirty years ago. well the first intifada as is often characterized as a spontaneous popular uprising i think this is not entirely inaccurate. not entirely accurate because what we see is there was very considerable investment by various possible political organizations in the stop listening and organizational interests it's about the occupied territories that was able to. sustain this uprising and if look at the situation today not only is the organizational infrastructure largely absent but you have i would argue in both the west and particularly among floridians a model in authority that is in fact committed to security cooperation on par with israel against its own people if you will and so the situation is considerably
1:17 pm
different it could change arguably if. you get tired of sustained. mass protests that began to generate a leadership of their own but i think are some way off from seeing that you are. good to talk to so many thanks indeed one robot either in amman. let's go live now to gaza and i was there as bernard smith is there and can tell us about the situation in gaza where i understand bernard funerals for those who were killed in friday's unrest have now begun. going to be for funerals today adrian two for two hamas fighters who were hit by an israeli airstrike earlier today those funerals taking place in gaza city in the next hour or so and also two three and also two people killed in confrontations with israeli
1:18 pm
security forces along the border for along the border for a fence on friday those two people were shot israeli security forces uses used live rounds along the border fence on tear gas in response to stone throwing by palestinian. palestinians in gaza on friday there's also been another protest in gaza today by one of the political groups here that was set off from here a short while ago and it's going to the city center so still a lot of. desire really hearing garza so show frustration and anger with donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel we think also that further there might be further. confrontations along the gaza gars or in israel border fence later on that this afternoon andrea but it may thanks but it's with lives in gaza. plenty more still to come here on the news hour including.

hello there for some of us in india and bangladesh it is going to be very wet over the next twenty four hours or say this is a tropical storm it's the side that was swirling around in the bay of bengal for quite some time it's now tracked its way northward and is disintegrating as it does say that means the winds shouldn't be too much of a problem the sustained winds at the moment around sixty five kilometers per hour gusts of wind just a little bit more than that but the problem with this system is going to be with the amount of rain because at this time of year this region is no many very very dry for cold cuts that we normally only have five millimeters of rain in the entire month and just in the last three hours we've had eight millimeters of rain so we've already much the monthly average and we're expecting to go far higher than that this is only moving at around eleven kilometers per hour so very very slowly but gradually it will track its way northward and across the coast and across into bangladesh as well so for the northeastern parts of india and through bangladesh it is looking very very wet that rain will stick around during the day on sunday
1:28 pm
before eventually begin to fizzle out as we head through monday so still plenty more heavy rain still to come and that could catch some people unawares they haven't noticed the forecast as that system fades that we've got another one that's beginning to pull itself together and this one's going to bring a lot of heavy snow for some of us in northern india. the weather sponsored by cats are and always. going green bacteria in a bar a tree in super heated gas escaping from volcanic well in iceland this is really the halls of innovation in the for what happened to me experiments both exploring and then if i did it because how counter the effects of climate change the science of capturing count the new big names are on the scientific on the back of my maintained the i don't have to contend tag no this talk.

1:30 pm
jerusalem as israel's capital palestinian leaders are meeting in ramallah and the arab league is to use a can be shortly to discuss the u.s. president's move. donald trump has declared the worst wildfires in california history to be a federal emergency it's order allows additional government resources to help rebuild homes six wildfires continue to sweep across the southern part of the state . and georgia's former president mikhail saakashvili has been rearrested in ukraine four days after his supporters freed him from police custody he suspected of assisting a criminal organization such as billy says the accusations are politically motivated saudi arabia is being warned it risks losing u.s. support unless more aid is allowed in to stop the humanitarian crisis in yemen the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is calling for the blockade on yemen to be lifted saudi that coalition sealed all of yemen's and seaports last month after who the
1:31 pm
rebels fired a missile towards riyadh aid agencies warn that eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine as well as suffering the walls wast outbreak of cholera which listen cold on riyadh to temper its actions in the region i think with respect to saudi arabia's engagement with qatar how they're handling the yemen a war that they're in gauge down the lebanon situation i think we would encourage them to be a bit more measured and a bit more thoughtful in those actions to i think fully consider the consequences i think we've been clear when it comes to yemen we have called for and president trump himself called for this week a complete end to the blockade of yemen a reopening of all the ports to not just humanitarian assistance but commercial delivery as well because about eighty percent of the food comes in all commercial shipments we are asking that saudi arabia allow that access
1:32 pm
and dress craig is an assistant professor at the defense studies development at king's college london he joins us now live from istanbul undress good to have you with us what do you make of what you just heard there about what rex tillerson said is the u.s. losing patience with saudi arabia. oh yes unfortunately the united states don't really have a coherent strategy for the most part they have a policy towards the middle east but they don't have a coherent strategy i think there is until now the problem is trade hasn't spoken with one voice we know that tillotson is quite sympathetic for example towards qatar sympathetic towards the smallest countries in the region and he's quite into going to stick towards the saudi intervention or the trial try of the attempt of the saudis to meddle with internal affairs then we have met is the diff these secretary of defense who unself is also quite critical of some of the saudi meddling and then we have most importantly the white house which seems to
1:33 pm
increasingly move away from state department of defense department in the way they do policy i mean the latest move in jerusalem or on jerusalem is very much a symbol of that it's a sign that the white house will do things as they see fit sometimes even against the recommendations of those who actually understand the middle east and wonder stand the long term policy consequences so even though i mean it's quite clear to listeners been very critical of the yemen operation metis has been a little more lenient but even matters has come out quite critical of what's going on in yemen and even the trauma administration we now have to see whether this is just rhetoric or they can actually translate this into a policy shift towards saudi arabia if the americans can actually are now willing also to exercise more pressure i'm a bit more critical about this because i know that the u.s. strategy in the middle east very much relies on the goal of relies on the u.a.e. and saudi arabia as their most important partners and then that's why they probably don't want to affront them but in terms of saudi behavior as far as not only given
1:34 pm
this concern but cassar. lebanon as well the u.s. has as really got itself to blame is what you're saying. yes i mean not the americans as a whole but the trump white house in particular has given a carte blanche to riyadh and to abu dhabi to take matters into their own hands to fight the two big evils which is isis and iran in the eyes of the drug administration and by empowering them you know powering two quite irrational quite impulsive leaders i think the trouble is tracing kind of created the situation that we're in right now and now they're trying to backtrack from it because they see even domestically there's now an outcry about what's going on in yemen but still we shouldn't unfortunately as horrible as it is in yemen it is still not on high on the priority list i think within the public debate to pressure the trying to stretch and take drastic measures by i think it's you know we have to see how the
1:35 pm
situation evolves and it could possibly be that the trauma administration will have to for example freeze some of the support military support that they give to saudi arabia all right you talk about the u.s. speaking with with two voices. are we likely now do you think to see a more coherent single voice as far as u.s. foreign policy is concerned after what we've heard over the past twenty four hours or so about this this pressure on saudi arabia. well it kind of looks like you know as i said i think it's on the surface it's a lot of rhetoric diplomatically i think there are personal relationships play person relationships between kushner between trump people of the white house and those leaders in the gulf particularly in saudi arabia and. you know these these leaders of these personal relationships are more important and i don't think they want the americans are willing yet to jeopardize these personal relationships for what they see not to be such a dramatic crisis they try ministration is trying to do to move on isis they've
1:36 pm
been quite successful they're trying to move against iran they don't really know how to do that yet and you know last about not least they want to get some sort of solution for the arab israeli conflict and you know what they've done was kind of counterproductive but i think there is some strategy there with the white house and at this moment yemen is not part of this really yemen is part of fighting iran and you know if the straightest said from the beginning kind of signal to saudi arabia take all measures necessary to deal with what they see to be in the rain in threat in yemen which it is obviously not it's there's a lot more than that risk is too many things did address creep there in istanbul thank you. continues to demand the release of its journalist michael to save his butt in a gyptian prison now for more than eleven months or so he's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which both he and al-jazeera strongly deny or say has repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail he was arrested on december twentieth
1:37 pm
last year while visiting family. polling stations have opened for the first phase of assembly elections in india is good at state has been a stronghold for prime minister rendell bodies' but as yet janata party for more than two decades the opposition congress party is trying to win votes by highlighting the b.j. piece unpopular decisions to introduce a sales tax and remove high value bank notes from circulation joining us now from new delhi is no lunch on party a who's journalist and author good to have you with us. but he's reading p j p is highly likely to win this poll in gujarat but. his leads the party's leaders is slipping to congress isn't it why is that. well it has been slipping really badly since the last three months you know in the last since the opinion polls have been conducted from all the leads in the service
1:38 pm
have slipped well most of all seventeen per cent and this is slipping primarily because of the unpopular decisions and agitations going on in the state of which route parky a result of the huge political vacuum that was different in the state after mr modi moved to center and become the prime minister in his absence the seat has the party the b.g.p. has floundered in the state of gujarat and has not been able to manage the situation that is what has resulted in a huge amount of uprising from various sections of people various social groups have been cheating for the last almost two and a half years so what was supposed to have been a video routine simple election for mr moody to win has suddenly turned on his head and it's opposing probably the biggest challenge in three and a half years since he became the prime minister of india this polling good job that is is highly significant for for the congress party as well why why is that and how
1:39 pm
close is this race going to be. i think it's really going to go down to the wire this is an election which pollsters are finding it extremely difficult to call because of what shares of the two parties the b.g.p. and the congress are almost at a part of it each other the final assessment is that in the last three days mr moody has entered into of highly personalized risky campaign where he's first really spending about thirty to forty election meetings in a very small state which is unprecedented for prime minister takes so much of time on election campaign in such a small state this indicates that the huge amount of investment which is there in the state just how important it is also for him to win because this is the home state and unless mr moore these able to retain political control of the state would actually lead to his political manufacture it is going to be very difficult for him to sustain the moral leverage that he has over the indian political system what
1:40 pm
will the implications of the result in gujarat be for the general election in twenty nineteen. well if mr moody's party wins then he's going to increase his electoral and political dominance of india but it is before party does not perform well even if they get a small majority are able to win with a very small majority it is going to lead to a signal of erosion of his political authority which is going to make mr move it difficult for mr moody's body to get redirected in twenty nineteen this election is also important because the congress party is seeing a transition where gandhi is taking over from his mother on monday as a party president so this is going to be the first real challenge for the whole gandhi who is a fifth generation dinesh dynasty in indian politics so it is really this election is going to set the template for twenty one thousand elections good to talk to so

many thanks indeed for being with us the man john. that man mas army is being accused of deliberately targeting raw hinge of children who are escaping a military crackdown in rakhine state a nine year old girl told al-jazeera how she survived being shot three times says she crossed into bangladesh when more than six hundred twenty five thousand ranger seeking sanctuary strafford reports now from the town kali refugee camp their cocks is bizarre. but his grandmother karl to hold back the tears it's a miracle a nine year old girl is a lie and. she to say she was shot three times by myanmar army soldiers and she fled her village of torm bazaar three and a half months ago. two bullets went through her right leg her left arm and her right armpit. myanmar soldiers shot her mother and father dead.
1:42 pm
says she too was trying to escape in a boat with a young boy when the army opened fire at them you know how your little. we were running and crying trying to escape he says i got in a boat and heard gunshots as i was in a different boat when the ministry shelter shita they were around thirteen nutters away from her after seeing the head shot i felt i don't know i am bound to die. the bullet wound on the infected and won't heal. infections are common in the camp with hundreds of thousands of other refugees it's not known how many children have been killed by the myanmar military in this recent crackdown on the river injure the myanmar government is refusing any kind of independent investigation but what's so shocking about this case is that having spoken to two witnesses and the medics
1:43 pm
treating her all evidence suggests that the myanmar soldier knowingly shots at a nine year old girl from close range is sort of indicative of a hot off the weapon and i watch caliber bullet of something of a seven sixty nine and like a five five six bullet which would tend to hit and bath ran and do a lot of internal damage given also the trajectory we think that it would be with for a fifty made a range limit the shooter was operated on in a malaysian government field hospital near the refugee camp tiny pieces of fabric from the clothes she was wearing when she was shot infected the wound. doctors hope as huge as physical agony will eventually subside but it's unlikely the terrifying memories of what she and her grandmother saw in myanmar will ever disappear. charles strafford al jazeera think carly refugee camp bangladesh.
