seven hundred fifty thousand richenda refugees will be repatriated to neighboring min mar within two years as part of a deal agreed by the two countries there's no official date for when the repatriation will begin and concern remains for the safety of the ranger once they have returned this is clearly a cruel and i conscionable deal that's going to force the revenger likely against their will back to the potential killing fields of burma if the rings are not allowed to go back in safety to their old harms their old villages they're all businesses this is proof that the bernese army is you know ethnic cleansing of the ranger has been successful. but from his expressed what he's called his pain and shame over chile's sexual abuse scandal is the first time he's commented on the crisis surrounding a former priest who was found guilty in twenty eleven of abusing teenage boys in or so no in south central chile libya's coast guard to save refugees and migrants from

three boats in the mediterranean sea about three hundred fifty were rescued after crews responded to several distress calls was a shame is up next i'll see you after that. in two thousand and two the israeli palestinian conflict was further inflame as a contentious supporter was cast in concrete. the following film first aired five years after construction began on what it's about describes as the separation wall .

and. another friday afternoon in the west bank village of bela een and another demonstration against the israeli government that will take over half of the villages land. on how to conduct. business one of the of the fundamental food is the. underdog i'm not going to love the us in your college all that it matters little what they're called whether walls barriers or fences the intention is the same to redefine human relations into us. this is a story about division about the barriers that men erect in calculation or desperation to separate themselves from abo's for others from them when

diplomacy and conciliation fail this is the alternative. i was living. i call it a wall of shame because a hundred thousands. are without jobs because of the. alex freedom of movement because of the world without the trees. and israel is. using to see the population all these or else. there's nothing new about so-called protective walls most ancient cities have them the ones we see today around jerusalem date from the sixteenth century. but the

twenty first century wars not only look different they serve a different purpose. the war is just over seven hundred kilometers long so far it's costing two million dollars every kilometer. it began in two thousand and two and it goes deep into palestinian territory in the west bank and jerusalem splitting neighbors and in circling villages. it's the biggest construction project in israel. and one that its supporters claim is necessary to ensure israel's security. this fans is for security reason this fence is only for blocking the way of suicide bombers into israel. and yet plans for the division of israel and palestine predate the relatively modern phenomenon of suicide attacks. were decades

in the making. of the wall really follows of israeli policies for the last hundred years even. before there was an israel essentially the problem is that zionism has claimed this country from the mediterranean to the jordan river exclusively for the jews there is no other people here for the for the israeli jews there is no it palestinians there is no other collectivity with other rights to this country this is our country exclusively period. the names of professor saw for the next prime minister sharon come up repeatedly in any discussion of the war. is the ideologues who first drew the maps for a construction of a war in the one nine hundred eighty s. but it was the politician sharon who put the reality on the ground. the day he was

elected second time with prime minister this very important evening he called me to bring him next day my met. with michael about the disengagement not to sit with him but to give him his because my mood was that he and if you ask me how i did the map i would say ninety builds in big talk in my consideration demography to three percent holy sites and maybe seven a percentage only secure with my vision was that if we would like to keep as a huge democratic state we cannot enjoy the luxury of having all of palestine very slowly because the mogul feel it's the most deterministic fact thought. at the moment. as the main political force behind the erection of the war

it fell to israeli prime minister sharon to allay the fears of israel's backers good fences make good neighbors he told us president george w. bush astutely quoting american poet robert frost. good words can make. goes all over the world see the war between me and my. friends. but palestinians and israelis have never been good labors and the war is a physical reminder of the end tippity on both sides. and even the very name of this divide is a contentious issue israel's official name for the wall is separation barrier to some it is a while to others it is a fence. only three percent of the barrier is wall ninety seven percent is fans

everybody wants to show in television the wall but you have to remember that this well is it is against shooting it's only in places when people live very close to the fence and they can shoot through then you had to put it there was ninety seven percent is just transparent fence. but though a fence may have less visual impact it takes up more ground. it's true that the majority of the structure is not like this the majority of the structure is electronic fans but only one component there is patrol roads that detection. trenches. razor wire it's a very wide expanse. this is why the israeli authorities use the term fans but in fact. part of the wall to me is actually worse. what you see here. the footprint is much wider you have. fifty or sixty or seventy metres

plus a buffer buffer zone and in terms of the damage it does to be environment in terms of all of trees uprooted irrigation systems cause it's extreme much worse than the wall part here and in many cases the israelis have taken land that has been passed down through generations of palestinian families. spend all his life. but the arrival of the wall has brought disaster. relief. at the. moment is a hit it is about. is that the will of the children is at the whim of the. nasser was that the world will meet and with the destruction of the olive trees comes economic ruin as palestinians are left on able to work because they are forced to spend negotiating the divide. the bloody about.

what i've been kidding with. bated. a bit. of being. in. a year with a look probably. because it is a little bit too. but it is an official's little. visit the one to. this was that. there is a particular. element of israel. because of it but if you had to say and believe me. it is driving people to despair because the younger generation have no there's no fear. a livelihood for peace but it's their

agricultural village and if they're in a situation where only about two hundred people or three hundred people out of a population of ten thousand for example we've been to bernie two or three hundred people can get regularly to their land obviously you can't call this an agricultural village anymore. your daughter did you did you want to. plus a lot of this sort of. a lot of the. big. dog. on the minute. we've got a. lot on been done to you what you doing do. you have. will be about gonna. do you.

all muddle through we're going to. stop. i know i know but i've got your model do we got your general you opinion or. one of them is out of the talk on what's going to settle. for as long as palestinians suffer economic hardship it's argued that there will never be peace. equality makes us bitterly in the pools if the palestinians will live what israel is in need in legal terms infrastructural full statehood legal system. no mean education in the world and their own bad states and the only. sees only paul two feet it's what's inside the. if there will be equality two states equally dissimilar nations in the one occupying. this will make. for good

neighbors but good neighbor whole days not necessarily love. and yet it is argued that the wall exists to protect the economy or at least the israeli economy. form two thousand and one until two thousand and plea is lost almost four percent for its g.d.p. . in those hills i mean no one goes to see even a movie and you say no one. was there simply is the way because the secu with the situation. and according to the walls architect the security of the israeli people comes first you see you start from there and you give me a clear picture a very miserable picture about people who suffer from the war go back from the

beginning. why we did it. because. because of this because of one thousand draws. the people that were killed in kindergarden in. israel so called separation barrier has provoked domestic unrest and attracted international criticism the route to war takes has been deemed by the international court of justice in the hague to be illegal and inhumane the issue of human rights that the international court of justice brings up is the issue of proportionality have a right to defend your population nobody is saying no but you can't be disproportionate you can't completely oppress and destroy another population for the sake of your own population that's really the issue if the wall had been built along the green line which is the internationally recognized border between the

west. israel has the right to build a. green line within its own territory there will be about fifty thousand palestinians on the israeli side of the wall when it's complete and this undermines the security argument. argues that the revulsion expressed by many around the world is sheer hypocrisy. we don't know if your in even your of the create the affected wars they don't tell you but go for. the. million in morocco what they'll do in the blood there will be in the bidding wars. and yet it is not just the international community that has condemned the war even within israel there are many who believe that it isn't serving any useful purpose it was minister difference ya'll diane is deputy mayor of tel aviv but probably

better known for being the daughter of moshe dyan the hero of the one nine hundred sixty seven war in which israel alec's the west bank this current war she argues is not the answer. it's not effective. because instead of being an obstacle to tell wastes it became another obstacle to peace in the sense that it is a provocation it's not a peaceful partition it became a political statement and it's a very bad feelings of addition the occupation and. a speaking it doesn't have legality from anybody in displaced. population. yet the israeli public went along with the idea a highly decorated army pilot believes they allowed themselves to be duped with

catastrophic results. naivety i am not using the war stupidity to signal everything to the people who are you know that eighty percent of the jews in israel are working in the morning. oh my god so much of the left in israel is praying for you who will give you his mother for the peace. oh my goodness i want. and stupid. little to build a fence and all our problems will be ok. the wall is redrawing the map some israeli commentators see it as an attempt to define in why and concrete a future two states solution by including within israel the land of the palestinian west bank which the illegal israeli settlements have been built and it is the

settlers who stand to gain most from the. it's a kind of settlers wall because they have just the wall to the reality on the ground to what the reality. that the setlist have dictated which is of course the full support of the government for many years. so actually if you look at the map. of the wall what you see is that the principle. was maximum settlers maximum settlements minimum are of. tribulation in israel so it it has also a demographic that mentions the meaning of the wall has nothing to do with security check the path yourselves see that it is only protecting settlements that it is build based on future plans for expanding ment of the settlement we are not

the fence not even protecting current settlers it's going to protect future settlers and that's absurd. many palestinians to believe the real purpose of the war is. that we are going into two thousand and one to our own so i'm going to suppose that it was put the demographic issue not not that to limit the policy an expansion because that is the freedom according to them the two thousand and twenty. would be sixty person so by the wall he said that he's going to assure that things will be fifty percent. the wall is basically. a deal. we don't want to see the palestinians it's a psychological barrier it's not only that. it's actually a two state solution but the way i want. to get rid of the.

to get as many such in this inside. and to give the israelis the feeling that if the palestinians within. expanding the future good life would be impossible and. there would no development so they were forced to leave. voluntarily. some are determined to hang on how nice house is surrounded by the war on four sides why because it is right next to an israeli settlement. and he is adamant he won't be giving up. and he. had to do for you had to.

because if a. woman had. one of them. like all politicians israel's war both excludes and encloses hardship which it would cause the excluded the palestinians was predictable. worries many israelis is what the war has done to the inclosed how it has created something

which in historical terms is thinkable. we are building ghetto for ourselves you know where the ghetto is the nazis. they build a fence around us and. what are we doing our friends see ourselves we're putting ourself in a ghetto. we should live like that. all continues to grow and in the present political climate it's difficult to see a time when it will be dismantled those on the extremes feel that this is a good thing. i would like to see such a war that even. you know there is a story i heard from a former general. who told me that he was sitting having coffee was a very old man old man. and he. you know i've been here.

with the british mandate and. always you have. all the others but you're the worse. because you're the only one who are taking all that. is the settlements and. so. since this film first aired in two thousand and seven israel has continued to expand the wall more than two hundred kilometers despite condemnation from the u.n. and most recently. it's a measure of that's continued to cause. even from some of israel's own citizens among these protesters israelis. jonathan polak

is an israeli activist who's part of the protest movement against the wall. i guess . like the. people who come here. to a degree i think that they're right because we betray the notion that this place here is part of. that degree. betrayed. nobody. so i'm with jonathan is the founder of on a case against the wall. the minute i come here because i believe that it's wrong that israel built this thing i think it's wrong and that if at all and i think it's definitely wrong when israel believes it on people's lands jonathan activism often puts them in direct conflict with the israeli army which was. now michael. the only thing.

that's that's right very far back there what if you want. to go from with him out of the government of president. obama for. president bush and the focus of the. mission. and the money that you. think i'm going to get what i think it. will get from. there should i think i'm going to. you know i think government. it became clear that the policing power of israel's border guards extends well beyond the wall even on land. as palestinians and it shows how it's not on the about preventing people from going to the outside it's also about controlling this site and how the army regarded supports legal rights or even according to their own

laws the army can do whatever they think. they. might be going to. after that's. the slip and fall. the spectrum of time but a lot of the city i must get into. is all that they need to feel you know. you are making very pointed remarks where on line the main u.s. response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been to

criminalize or if you join us on sang no evil person just wakes up of it in the morning and says i want to color the world in darkness and this is a dialogue and that could be what's leading to some of the confusion the line about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they're very interested in that global perspective that al-jazeera provides. the controversial leader of islam had his cock he used one of the most one internists in the history of israel to come to terms on his alleged extra judicial killings by israeli intelligence and mossad says and being called in the must use is only death if someone tried to get cocky immediately seemingly intention was shut down devoted to kill him in damascus at

this time on al-jazeera woad on the fringes of some of those megacities. make a slum is perched on stilts. but the cities are beginning to develop even for a terrorist or an. architect goodley of the army is also the most sustainable solution to the communities hardest hit by the tides of change for the local tech to continue with working. this time on a. fears for the people of the syrian border town of afrin as turkey sends troops to attack kurdish fighters.
