israel and the us reports. the polish senate voted overwhelmingly to approve new holocaust legislation that makes it a crime to refer to wartime nazi extermination camps as being polish or to accuse poland of complicity in the atrocities of the third reich. israel has condemned it the foreign ministry saying on twitter israel views with utmost gravity any attempt to challenge historical truth no law will change the facts but poland's ruling party denies the charge pointing out that academic research and artistic expression are exempt but the. research of the past is not threatened in any way talking about the past and analyzing it even the darkest most shameful part of the polish past is not threatened in any way opposition m.p.'s warned the bill was an attack on free speech there was a reason. they cannot be any law that will suppress the discussion this bill is

worded in such a way that discussion can be suppressed here in poland but also abroad and that is the worst fear poland was occupied by nazi germany in world war two it lost six million of its citizens including three million jews who died in camps like auschwitz and birkenau in occupied poland helping jews even offering them a glass of water was punishable by death. the senate vote in poland happened the day after germany and other nations joined in annual remembrance of the holocaust with a minute of silence while there is no suggestion that poland willfully colluded with the nazis israel's holocaust memorial yad vashem says the polish bill is liable to blur the historical truth regarding the assistance the germans received from the polish population the bill that aims to defend poland's wartime image must now be

own laws and the cons. palestinian group hamas says u.s. sanctions against its political leader will not stop it from resisting israeli occupation washington has designated a global terrorist and he has called for an uprising or an intifada against israel after doll trance decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital wasn't jordan reports. the united states formally declared the palestinian group hamas a terrorist organization in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven twenty one years later washington says hamas is political chief. is himself a specially designated global terrorist because thanks to his leadership hamas has killed seventeen americans the designation is that any assets honey a house in the u.s. are now frozen he can't travel there and u.s. persons cannot give him any financial support one official says honey a is

a clear threat to u.s. national security and he has been a member of hamas and the one nine hundred eighty s. and he rose through the ranks in large part but continually championing terrorism against israel. and he has calls for a new into fatah just last month underscore how important today's designation is we will not be distracted by hamas as efforts to obscure its true and bloody nature of the land my honey a call for a new uprising against israel in december because of this we are no closer to a lasting peace agreement between israel and the palestinians the us president donald trump's decision to recognize your islam as the capital of israel something mandated by congress welcomed by the israeli government and condemned by palestinians who want east jerusalem to be the capital of their future nation while honey i attended a funeral for a hamas member his aides told reporters they don't take the us is move seriously

while the other side of. it is clear that putting the name of ismail haniya on the terrorism list by the americans came at a time that the us administration is targeting jerusalem and putting sanctions and preventing the aid of the morra which is a continuation of the crimes against the palestinian people that it is me is not always thought we ought to look at this for a beginner. no diligence for this reason we are considering this didn't do for them is the foolish statement committed by people who know nothing about what freedom for the us says it will do all it can to stop hamas from destabilizing the middle east the problem for the trumpet ministration a mosque says it won't be deterred rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington now ghazi hamad is the deputy foreign minister of hamas he says palestinian leaders should come together to think of a new way forward without u.s. involvement. but we have experience of more than thirty years where the bush

administration obama administration the clinton administration more than a twenty four years and i think we got the big zero from the american as media that i think this is a big lesson for the brits and our best to understand and to open his wise that american they are not honest and they are not accepted by the policy not do just only put the glasses of israel they just believe in the right of israel in existence security prosperity then never believe the palestinian national lies so i think now we have to change our strategy we have to first of all i think our prayer to know is to go back to the national unity the policy record simulation in order to have one started you when one vision and after that i think we can we can find different honest mediators who can help the policy and us but i think we should ignore and we should exclude the americans we should not do that they are god dick i do overthink i think them because they have just one goal all the support they

can fish in and to stop by their compassion with money with power with weapons and we have to struggle this game because i think we are fed up for this game for twenty forty years it should be stopped yet if oppenheimer is an israeli political commentator he says the u.s. sanctions against or near any symbolic. i finger to the trumpet ministration would like to show that these fighting to income are still a terrorist organization hamas is not ready to work it now is the right of israel to exist and hamas is not going to put down its weapon and continue to to fight not just its soldiers but also he's merely civilians so therefore i think that their world can hope to become asked like a real partner for peace i want to remind the nia the other fact was also considered to be a terrorist but once out of five declared that he recognized the right of israel to exist and he would like to stop negotiation peacefully with these whales and the

united states then the declaration change and he became a partner not a terrorist so the ball is in the hamas hands. well still ahead here on al-jazeera a vote in germany's parliament raises hopes for refugees wanting to be reunited with their families. and we take a look at the grassroots of mobile network that's helping mexico's indigenous communities keep in touch with the rest of the world to stay with us. hello there it's turning colder once more for some of us in the southeastern parts of china the winds are feeding down from the north but shanghai will still get to sixty breeze on friday six degrees rather cloudy and then as that cloud sinks its way southwards and the winds down the temperatures will drop away once more so

the. right. it's a classified memo written by top republicans and members of the house intelligence committee they allege it shows a misuse of power by the f.b.i. and justice department under the obama administration will investigating the truck campaign during the u.s. election republicans on the house intelligence committee voted on monday to release the classified memo to the public despite protests from democratic lawmakers and the department of justice the memo al the partisan decision to make it public have only intensified the controversy surrounding the inquiry by special counsel robert muller into accusations of russian election meddling a potential kulu with the trump presidential campaign democrats argue it is all part of a wider effort by republicans and the white house to undermine the mahler investigation

by continually raising questions about its fairness recent reports suggest trump himself wanted to fire mahler thank you still thank you for a very well you're going straight story the russia investigation has clouded trump's presidency from the start yet as truck checked off his list of what he sees a successes in his first year there was barely a mention of russia in his state of the union speech and despite an almost unanimous vote by legislators to further sanction russia for interfere. in the u.s. election the white house on monday decided not to move ahead with those sanctions the white house has received a classified memo and says it's under review the president now has five days to make good on his promise to make it public kimberly how al-jazeera washington. twelve thousand libyans displaced for the past seven years have been turned back as

nearly four months here in germany and the vote that took place in the bonus talk today appears to have solved that the main political parties each can take something away i know americans conservative c.d.u. supporters can look can see that the restriction on family members joining their loved ones here in germany has been extended for six months and after that will be restricted to maximum of a thousand a month that is something that the a.f.p. are also going to be celebrating they're the right wing party who will see that the right to reunification has been done away with reunification will now be at the discretion of the or thirty s. but the left can also take something away from this the s.p.d. because they can argue to their supporters that this suspension of the right to reunification has at last or will be lifted come august and the door will slightly be pushed and that will play well to their constituents i have to say though that there are plenty of other people who are less celebrate saree about the outcome and

the international says that the the ability to have families reunified would have started happening in march in the imposition of first of all an extension and then a restriction is something that they were really hoping would not happen and the another campaign group that i spoke to that has been sponsoring families to get back together again they say that the enforced separation is causing real problems when it comes to attempts to integrate these syrian refugees and their. recchi refugees into german society because as families are worrying spending a lot of the time worrying about their loved ones who are still in trouble in problems in war torn areas they can't really adequately concentrate on putting together a new life for themselves here in germany though the humanitarian diplomacy in the severe is getting nowhere according to the un's humanitarian advisor yeah glenda has been detailing what's been happening last year and he's just got word horrific and his wife the u.n. says humanitarian pauses desperately needed in eastern guta where nearly four

hundred thousand have been living under a government siege for over four years there have been no medical evacuation since the end of december even those are trying to return home after years of conflict off falling prey to unexploded bombs in iraq which has been recently recaptured i saw there have been fifty deaths or injuries every week since one hundred twelve people have died so far now the u.n. says the amount of displacement in syria last year hasn't been witnessed in a generation it there have been two hundred seventy thousand displaced and since december the syrian government and its russian ally has lot a review defensive that. the situation remains for a cease fire told the. members of the human attain task force. we have. conventional warfare in what is essentially a refugee camp. it is densely populated and it is.

room with refugees and it displaced now the trumpet ministration is allowing thousands of syrian refugees to stay in the u.s. for at least another eighteen months the decision extends temporary protection status to seven thousand syrians it only applies to refugees who arrived in the country before august twenty sixth meeting the status of later arrivals will be put on hold more than twelve million syrians have been displaced since the conflict began in two thousand and eleven. twenty eight russian athletes have had their lifetime bans from a limp exporter overturned just over a week out from the winter olympic games in pyongyang chang the decision was made by the court of arbitration for sport after an appeal last month each be banned by the international olympic committee for doping at the twenty fourteen games in sochi but the court found there was insufficient evidence challenged as more from moscow. we're less than two months away from

a presidential election here in russia and i have to say cass's decision is a nice pre-election president vladimir putin wrapped up in a pretty ribbon it fits in very neatly to the message you hear again and again from russia's authorities which is that the country is essentially a righteous and deceived fortress surrounded by a largely hostile world it's been the case the message that has been put across time and time again in this country that despite the decisions from the i.o.c. despite the decisions of the world anti-doping agency and its details mclaren report there simply was not enough evidence to back up those doping allegations against russia what happens next is difficult to say the moments the international olympic committee is scrambling for a response they are considering an appeal against the caste decision that would have to be done in a swiss federal tribunals but the actual criteria for

a successful appeal are pretty slim russia for its part is trying to get the athletes previously banned back admitted into the winter olympics are about to start in south korea but the i.o.c. has reminded everyone that the russian limbic committee is still a banned organization and that if any athletes were to be readmitted they would have to be invited individually and that's not necessarily a done deal on officially the medal table for the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics well that basically has to be recounted and russia having lost its first place is now likely to be put back at the top of the medal table. the u.s. government's dismissing reports that aid is being cut off to puerto rico is devastated by a hurricane maria four years ago the federal emergency management agency is winding down food and water distribution but says supplies will continue to people in need around half a million islanders in the u.s.

to town. it is helped a lot not only for this community but for the people of two or three neighboring towns who come here to use the service has been a big help. for years the police had gone out to sell service providers to expand their coverage but without a profit incentive telecom companies aren't known for making investments in rural villages some estimates suggest that more than forty percent of mexicans live in areas outside of cellphone reach. but with the installation of two when tenets and a single call routing system half the population of something isn't how connected at a price they can afford there is a problem however the mexican government has charged the nonprofit group who built the network nearly one million pesos about fifty two thousand dollars to operate. said to me you can make a thousand calls in a month and it won't generate any cost it's only going to cost you if you call long

distance so i don't think it's for but as we say the government is the government and they're always trying to apply their taxes. through the mobile phone network to people of something this can finally contact emergency service. make long distance calls or simply order a cab members of low income communities invest their own money to create the network locally sourcing materials to build entire communications infrastructure the result is mobile phone and internet services an almost ninety eight percent lower cost than other providers in mexico. the network is still new and far from perfect but locals seem thrilled to have any service at all. for public workers like deal the user own network is about more than just connectivity it means the members of his community are being better serve. the haka mexico.
