a simple majority was required previously former palestinian negotiator saeb erekat says the new law is a continuation of the u.s. president's decision to put an end to the palestinian cause our correspondent mohammed jump june joins us now live from kufa in occupied east jerusalem hamad this is a complex one so what do we know. bitter complex to say the least i mean we're speaking to lawyers here today that still aren't quite sure what all of this means let's try to break it down as far as the core issues at stake in this legislation that passed number one the fact that as of now when it comes to anything dealing with giving up territory in jerusalem it would require approval of eighty of the one hundred twenty knesset members that's a super majority that's two thirds whereas before it was only sixty one votes a simple majority that was required for these types of votes for approvals of this

type now the other and perhaps more contentious issue at stake it comes to areas such as a. palestinian neighborhood which is behind the separation wall there in the distance now and also the shuffle of the refugee camp these are neighborhoods that potentially because of this amendment to the basic law potentially they might be under a new municipality meaning that they are now hard to really see them but going forward they may not be part of jerusalem this would allow for changing up through slim's municipal borders and that brings up a lot of very sticky questions what happens to the residency status of the many residents of these neighborhoods will they continue to be residents of jerusalem would they continue to be residents of israel would they be able to vote in elections in israel that brings in other larger questions like the battle over demography that's going on here when it comes to the population the jewish

population of jerusalem the palestinian population of jerusalem so all very complicated as is so many other things when it comes to israeli palestinian relations and as well as the knesset and israeli laws we're going to try to dig deeper into this today to find out exactly what's going to happen next but as of now this is something that is creating more uncertainty at a time when there is already so much uncertainty here peter mohammed many thanks. plenty more still to come here on the news hour for you including the stories i'm i'm i'm better than i was in the states now and i see more opportunity and that's that's my motivation and. taking control of their destinies undocumented migrants in the u.s. embrace new opportunities across the border in mexico and nigeria's military says hundreds of people held hostage by book or have escaped and the sports teams the fans facing freezing conditions as hockey as winter classic hits double figures.

mexico instead. the mexican government has announced a series of steps it says will streamline the return of dreamers but it is very modest but no funds have been allocated and some feel more needs to be done to make mexico more appealing than the u.s. a lot of people this is saying here they're making and we know them we support them but at the end of the day a lot of people are also things like from like they are going to come and stole our our jobs. returning home especially after so long it's never easy but those who have done it say this is mexico's chance to shine just programmed to think that you're in the best and you're about to go to work third world country with no opportunities once i got here late like i'm assuming better than i was in the states now and i see more opportunity and that's my motivation and. mexico hopes kevin story can be repeated with thousands more dreamers. galliano

the last three months at least fifteen hundred migrants have embarked on this perilous track over the alps crossing from italy into france defying freezing temperatures and heavy snow rescue workers say they're totally ill equipped for the arduous journey around a dozen migrants reach france every day but some won't make it mountain guide say they will perish in the attempt to reach france rescue workers expect to discover the bodies of african migrants when the snow melts in the spring is smile and now is seventeen years old from guinea sit there. for more it wasn't easy at all for me because the trip was long and also the first time i saw the snow i was very tired i didn't feel my feet anymore but we arrived in the shelter where we made a fire and we took arrest and then we restarted to walk and it wasn't easy i didn't believe that we would arrive here. alberto rubino is deputy commander of alpine rescue coordinating efforts to bring the stranded people off the mountain and i

seized control of charities and financial assets linked to one of the main suspects of the two thousand and eight mumbai bomb attacks in india now it came as president donald trump tweeted the pakistan is a quote haven for terrorists natasha going to has more on who's behind the charity's. there's a ten million dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of half is saeed r. yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. the united states believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks at a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating terrorism laws when he made

his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u.s. government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terrorism. for the first time the pakistani government has targeted saeed's assets and charities they include three hundred schools hospitals ambulance services and a publishing house the government is blocking fund raising and there are plans to assume control of them the un security council has also banned two of sedes organizations. this is a challenging time in pakistan u.s. relations we have made clear to pakistan that while we desire continued partnership we must see decisive action against terrorist groups parading on their territory. and we make massive payments every year to pakistan they have to help pakistan

says moving in on saeed's groups isn't bowing to u.s. pressure it's intended to fulfil its international obligations reuters reports that pakistan was worried it would face u.n. sanctions for failing to crack down on terrorist groups later this month a un security council team will visit to check on its progress natasha going to aim . supporters of protesting against that decision over the so-called charities come off as more now from islamabad the pakistani government had moved to ban hafiz saeed jagjit the outfit which had been working across budget on a national day of doctors and respect among the people in the country however to move will be seen by then as the net game to die for the day work in this country to add already raging protests get on starting in the city of karachi and now tent mingle blog the grand trunk road

a major whitetail highway would then get on the pakistani foreign minister on the other hand also lashing out at the united states by saying that progress on what is being blamed for the united states failure and i've won it on and by the americans blaming it on so indeed major developments read in the region but also a strong reaction expected from. fareed if moving toward me on justify joining us here on the news is a political and security analyst joining us out of islam about to hit khan is this the first time in reality that the pakistani authorities of moved against this individual and his network. thank you no it is not the first time you were the reports mention it is the second time or third time pakistan is taking action against this group but now. is.

using on pakistan to take action pakistan also has some problem because you mentioned one recent public meeting which was addressed by you have to say he'd have to say he was not alone there were political leaders there were only just leaders in the wars and illegal muslim and if i can stand it because it was the. issue therefore i the government cannot stop. people from this not pakistan is our thought in trouble how to deal with such people because there are some sensitivities like the religious issues like i look good. for pakistan is under pressure and therefore i this new decision. has come after the british by the americans by you and by india and the have you say you don't like. you mentioned earlier that he is wanted to the u.s. he is wanted to the india but pakistan is in trouble how do you deal with this

situation ok where is that pressure going to go because there seems to be three areas here one he was about pro palestine rally and roll pindi on friday we're showing pictures of as you and i are talking let's hear a number one area number two he's physically and i guess kind of in a friendly way too close to some pakistani politicians and then there's a third thing which must be focusing minds in islamabad and this is this the u.n. and the u.s. is talking about adding in sanctions to the mix when it comes to the u.s. last year when relationship with the government in islamabad. pakistan has no option to implement. whatever you decide because pakistan is a member but pakistan has many times rejected the us decision even if. it had been about how to save the other issue is that in pakistan the

judiciary is now it is only independent if has to put in sec again to remove a sitting prime minister so it can deliver a decision there fly anywhere there is a government decision in pakistan halfway see his group other parties then move to the court and even yesterday when the government announced to. charity belonging to. the group announced that they will move the court they will go to the court they will knock at the door of the court so this is our thought but i've known for the pakistani government like recently it was the court in lahore really needs to have a say because i have to say who was in detention for months but when their detention period ended saw that the court needs them and the government could not interfere so here i would say did these pakistani leaders have

a say that they should also think but because pakistan is now under pressure from outside pakistan is pakistan affecting a lot of problems but unfortunately some pakistani religious leaders political leaders they don't care about the internet because politics is all for in war now in such a situation ok now others say the. second is the army and started because i think we're about to lose the satellite one final brief point here's the thing if a part of either the political environment in pakistan is going to move against this man all the judiciary will move against this man who will it be because as you've correctly said he was under house arrest from january to i think it was october or november he then they let him go because they can't legally keep him under house arrest and yet after that he's then in a situation where he can carry on getting his message out there.

and this is the problem because sometimes maybe maybe that go i mean doesn't how follow groups to convince the court to convince the court then this band is required to be kept in jail or in the house that is so this is the problem here and they told you earlier that in pakistan religious parties even if they are not very close supporters have to say their mentality you have to say the program but he won then just to put political pressure on the government some political parties in this you are mentioning that i would be really good was. going to see this leading a political party and win a farm and a military dictator pretty much out of affairs did he lie. he likes to have his say that he likes the less scary for you by a group which is very severe did with this then this is the situation in pakistan

but a political things the political leaders they don't care about pakistan so this. problem felt like a stand ok to you in the summer but we appreciate your insight many thanks for your time. to nigeria with the military says more than seven hundred people held hostage by the armed group for coram have now managed to escape they were found near close to the north eastern border with chad the military says many of the captives were farmers and fishermen who were being kept slaves and interest has more now from a brooch. the more than seven hundred hostages fled their captors after what the nigerian army called ground on elephants of over the last few weeks in northeastern nigeria now these areas they fled from are actually islands in the lake chad because of the receding waters of the lake on the borders with nigeria cameroon and child they've been some islands forming in the middle of the lake and these have been populated by villagers who are mostly farmers and fisherman now they have

cup is an opportunity to mend russia's reputation somewhat and it happens to be a presidential election year two persons extremely. mendel's we important for russian people use for russia as empire of. military force and. to lesser extent economic force political force. sports for means kind of a war fare for the salutes and national pride matters hugely in russia particularly with many people left poorer by the recent recession in a wintry central moscow they dare to hope. of course we believe in our football team we believe in our victory is that you know now we will am for the finals we are supporting them we believe in them this is our russia summer can't come soon enough rory chalons how to zero moscow. ok let's take some more on one of our

headlining stories the possibility of talks about talks between north and south korea barely a month before the shuttle to host the winter olympics diplomacy within the korean peninsula has happened in the past with varying results the first into korean summit was held in the year two thousand the declaration was signed allowing separated families from the north and the south to have meetings with family members in pyongyang and in seoul seven years later there were calls for international mediation to replace agreements that ended the korean war diplomacy has fizzled since then the last government to take part in talks will that happen to december twenty fifteen it ended in failure north korea stopped answering communication lines inside the demilitarized zone in february of twenty sixteen leonid petroff is a visiting fellow at the college of asia and the pacific at the australian national university he joins us now from sydney in a petroff is there a promise of progress here. well it's very interesting it's the already

the second day of the year twenty eighteen and we see a tremendous turn in diplomatic rollercoaster between the two koreas last year it was new president of republic of korea south korea. who proposed the olive branch to his north korean counterpart kim jong un but kim jong il if used to talk to discuss any possibility of the korean relations improvement unless north korea returns a few north korean citizens who decided to move from china to south korea it was a very strange story it looks like her kim jong un changed his mind yesterday and in his new year's address kim jong un proposed the resumption of direct communications with seoul and. president jean of south korea immediately responded by inviting the hiring king. discussions and

communication and negotiations and punishment jom the village just on the thirtieth parallel which separates north and south korea just inside the demilitarized zone pork about the possibility of north korean a limb picked him to participate in the chung olympic games which will open in february this year this is a window of opportunity for in their career relations ok but mungy and i mean ten years ago within the government architecture he was a liberal architect that was that was his political calling card but this is never been surely a linear relationship it's always been one step forward two steps back so doing it through the the vessel of sport is a good idea but when they then get into the area of say democracy in north korea human rights in north korea what are the chances that north korea just pulls the plug and walks away. well indeed third relations between north and south have been checkered in the last sixty four years since the signing

of the armistice agreement but still if we look at the so-called sunshine policy which are current president was behind we saw the three men those improvement of relations between north and south i could then make an economics or humanitarian activities continued for ten years south koreans could drive their cars across the demilitarized zone north korea and their fleets perform together in sydney were marching under the same unification flag during the olympics here in sydney the year two thousand so it looks like china limper winter olympics are going to provide the forum for both north and south korean athletes to participate together to compete and also to delay or potentially divert the danger of war which president for really threatened the korean peninsula last year so it looks like the olympics are going to serve the original intention your original purpose of stopping the wars and allowing people to improve people's diplomat diplomacy and in

that period of conciliation may turn into the new phase. here again and i think the president of south korea and the supreme leader of north korea understand that it's probably the only way to avert the war ok but when you're talking about the trumpet ministration if you're the trump white house surely you're looking in on this and thinking well hang on maybe the juice isn't worth the squeeze here because the reality the bottom line is this pyongyang is never ever going to give up its nuclear ability and where that capability might go literally might be directed in the future because the line for kim jong un is strength through to terence and to terrence through strength. well that's true or if the war is continuing that's what kim jong un is talking about than yesterday in his new year's address you mentioned that the new clear at the turn capability for north korea is needed to protect and defend the nation to defend north korea it will be

used on leave north korea if there is a peace treaty there is a peace resume on the korean peninsula there's no need for nuclear weapons or intercontinental ballistic missile the picture will be very different so i believe that these well if not being pong diplomacy skating and skiing diplomacy these years young child is going to open a new page in either korean relations and potentially improve relations between pyongyang and washington d.c. very simple ok fast forward say ten days or two weeks for us the greenlight discussions but north korea goes into those talks with expectations that are then perhaps interpreted as being demands those expectations are not met what does that do not so much to the relationship because i guess we could script here anyway but what does that do to the winter olympics. well there with the olympics ready going off the script we know that even the u.s. delegation is now considering very seriously whether they should participate in

from town north is just fifty kilometers south of the demilitarized zone if the war in the current peninsula is going going to happen well then the tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of foreigners of which many americans are going to be affected so it looks like the punk trying to lympics it going through delay anyway in any in any possible conflagration of war or resumption of the korean war so the war is not going to happen well at least until the end of term turn the lympics so i can say. until march the seer there will be peace on the korean peninsula but even this two month delay can open a new page in the interim period relations but also more importantly in the direct dialogue between pyongyang and washington d.c. and the nuclear program is purely designed to protect the north korean regime against potential invasion or potential change preemptive strike so it looks like we just see that a petition of the old cold war europe between moscow and washington d.c.

in the miniature this time ok on young it's the impoverished small state which is anti-american and which survives on the anti-american rhetoric whether relations we've sought south korea going to prove we will see in the think games providing for. many thanks libya's in danger of losing a big part of its cultural heritage ongoing conflicts are partly to blame but some historic shrines are being deliberately destroyed in the past few years dozens have been demolished by followers of the salafist movement which doesn't believe these shrines have a place in islam mahmud up till the head reports now from tripoli the shrine of mohammed and that you see new cd is elitist to be right sacked by members of the cell it is movement. his grave which has been in this southern city of alcor for around one hundred years was an earthquake and the reliques inside a school in. believe that shrines represent infidelity

libya's religious edicts committee has condemned the acts of the rahman get do says the shrines are part of libya's identity and targeting them is shameful and against islamic teachings. there since march of twenty twelve we've issued around twenty five fatwas condemning such acts and explaining that there were violation of islamic sharia law according to the four muslim doctrines were also people not to on earth graves and to refer any issues to the authorities but clerics here seem reluctant to openly speak out against those who destroy the shrines the salafist movement was in evidence in libya during the marmara good death is more than forty years in power now it has reemerged with the military campaign led by a renegade general wholly for health care and there are fears more historic tryon's could be demolished it's during the past few years dozens of
