estimated to number over six million today. palestinian houses appropriated by israel stand as a testament to an abiding injustice. the original occupants and owners are now scattered across the world. new generations of palestinian refugees who have never known their ancestral land still refer to these places as home. in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine ben israeli prime minister golda mayer was quoted in a british newspaper she said. it was not as though there was a palestinian people in palestine considering itself as a palestinian people and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them they did not exist. i from those who live in the school that people with poland look for

a land with no people. so these people of. what we call palestine maybe they will hear but they will drop it that's to say that a million and hundreds of the of people that work there isn't here in forty eight are either no people or were not good and this was a kind of a mistake incurred. adamant that we're better off him and at the last page measuring a man. who scott thought communal our land. would live image of unequal the for us to know how could how the low. down the n and about how could the can i want. to live but i know they have to do you know

who are the i know of the measure. and what i can while the million of the restless are a hell of a shovel full steam. and they him ask you know we should do you how clear what or not how quickly and you know there was a machinery of denial and that's why most israelis did not know what happened and those who did had a different mechanism was a mechanism of justification they decided if if our forefathers expelled the palestinians there was a good reason for this and they were told not to talk about it in public because the members of this room. today there are more than six million palestinian refugees a third of these live in refugee camps in desperate conditions.

and she has a clue columbus out of the small. so it wasn't i thought. but i mean if honesty. in the place and put it believe that kitty and. the boy went wild and when it could do it and i will not tell you. what any. what and he. hit me where i live. caught the double quick with the bat because in yemen of. all of that part sony and some city. have been told that in your mobile car.

i. made it though on the going out of the door of the theater if you don't see the going forward. i seem to think that i think. we don't want. to become unconscious to the process. but my way. and the lady had the nerve to be mad i'm going to limit and maybe going to see it happen but. you will go about it well but which one do it on my ship of the one isn't i'm

allowed to lessen some of. the doing. something is going to. happen at some point they don't let. me know if you want to insult the fellas for me not a bit in the do it in the dual national. no no same as a quick little island. that mean there were plenty of malevolent. monks of that i thought of school of florida i find a terrible to reflect on the fact that we still have those refugee camps which were created in. nineteen forty eight here in lebanon the elsewhere i mean us. in the worst situation that there were both in the conditions and the prospects are completely. committed by that could be

a travesty. maybe i look at the it's not as they wouldn't have called it a lazy in that it didn't notice in india to him who we're dealing with where many him min identity in the lead there to him who i'd done journeymen to how to let no man that they could easily to do with it how deluded when as to molly they're like well they're like yanni edge of a neck is. the sort of eat less fuck up that if it had a bottom of the brain but the scimitar ily i'm so torn i am a man but what are such a shabby fellas the third one way met your mother out of here. with alopecia why she was up yeah that was for who me. well well though to allow the best guy. jerusalem

holds great importance to the three main monotheistic religions. yes over the years there have been concerted efforts under successive israeli governments to forging a soul the jewish identity in the holy city. these efforts are happening both above and below ground.

of thought not factored into about half of the uk they seem to have going to be all over them and the hair a lot of b. of it is on the house of. well i view myself a study on how to add a lot of coffee almost i'm never going to have the then the hear the gentle b.-a. on this when i was going to be a come on i'm not here a lot to be out. of the house at home. and then i will do. something. to do that and it just doesn't know how the. audience of kids. also met with the added though to be. that the joe was at last with me and to me. basically how. old and how did. it is how do they belittle put.

money away to be older than to be able to be. here. and for us to me is. funny a little bit of the bill of the. me a. little bit annoyed. with. that look at the deficit. has. had and you know. a lot of. what. he. they have here limited what kind of dentist i can enter to eliminate this deficit for i'm under seventy seven out of in couldn't. couldn't organic out there that says and

then she must say for shit that the software hard wired up for how to sign your software for and you'll never see hear a little prayer from. behind very poignant their city country and if there was a coffee and they come up on the whole word or kind of cut under the doors at work and i know what. the clear that the far you are called the usa year and for seventy seven to be an event. for the next year or last walk away your mind when. the are not a gentleman walk get me out of seventy seven i've been couldn't a shop cannot. i set. the national. and then i thought that the new norm is that women attack a limb on the neck but let that the anthem out of being the eleventh and i'm so not a b. and there's a new not what they can place as we talk it just doesn't have the same features and characteristics of the forty eight and the forty eight and i was in one period of

time in a very dramatic of message the president is a very slow process of exposure and the next sation demolition of houses imprisonment of people it's going on for forty years it's in a way it's it's a new version of the same idea of how to cause the palestinians to leave honestly. if you take what's happening now this is the worst thing in the gaza strip.

just tell me how clean is the years really me in these lowly. well killing children. old people. women who have nothing to do with the war this state exactly the same happened in forty eight and somehow. by the same people also. right now it's clear. to you one that. today over six million palestinians live in exile prevented from visiting their ancestral homes. another five or six million palestinians live inside historic palestine. in the gaza strip two million palestinians are squeezed in a tiny area with strict internal and external control. in the occupied west

bank israeli settlements and checkpoints a part of every day life. israel claims that the checkpoints are vital to stop palestinian violence. but critics say they are a form of collective punishment effectively sealing off palestinian cities and jeopardizing any hopes for peace. this footage is from the city of ramallah under gunpoint palestinians are forced to strip naked in public. part of an ongoing psychological war. aimed at making palestinians feel they have neither safety nor dignity.

you have i know. that. i know. many things have not changed since one thousand nine hundred forty eight. this man covering his face is a must. the name given sixty years ago to the jewish paramilitaries be disguised themselves as arabs to carry out covert operations. today the mission remains the same. the neck but continue.

the country is at a crossroads. dozens of people are killed as a volcano erupts in guatemala thousands more are forced to flee their home. donald trump takes to twitter to lash out at the russia probe insisting he has the right to pardon himself. and this poor the grand slam return of serena williams comes to an abrupt and interest forces that williams to pull out her french open match with my yes our up about. it very warm welcome to this hour of news jordan's king abdullah has warned that his country is at a crossroads he said it must be the result of the current crisis or enter into what he called the unknown meanwhile thousands of people took to the streets of amman in

another night of mass protests there have been demonstrations in the capital and other parts of the country since last week against i.m.f. backed austerity measures jordan appointed a former world bank economist as prime minister after honey resigned on monday in a failed move to end those demonstrations were jordanians are grappling with high unemployment and new tax hikes coupled with the abolition of bread subsidies and a hoax to report. he was the man behind jordan's recent proposed tax hike and a stare to measures that led to six days of protests now prime minister hani muki is out. of the past week nightly rallies the largest in five years have intensified protesters marched by his residence on sunday chanting we are coming animal but if the government must step down the tax law must be withdrawn these demands and we don't want the next government to implement the same policies either

jordanians are furious that his plan raising employees taxes by as much as five percent would squeeze them financially to the brink the cappleman is ranked as the arab world's most expensive city there's high unemployment in prices of basic goods rocketing jordan's a dependent economy has been struggling with the large influx of syrian refugees arriving in recent years added to this previous financial supporters like the u.a.e. u.s. and saudi arabia have dramatically cut their donations the hashemite kingdom is thirty seven billion dollars in debt that's equivalent to ninety five percent of its gross domestic product the government secured more than seven hundred million in credit from the international monetary fund three years ago the loan was intended to help growth and lower public debt the i.m.f. also imposed tough fiscal conditions including hikes in general sales tax and in bread subsidies a staple of the poor but opponents warn these measures hurt poor and middle class

families analysts say there is a general lack of trust now people are looking for a paradigm shift they're not looking for changing faces like you know. second one prime minister and getting another one looking for a change in the policies of the policies have been detrimental to the daily lives of the people and in jordan and they're looking for changes in these in these policies. king abdullah has named. a former world bank economist and the previous education minister to take over as prime minister but it's not clear if these changes will be enough to calm the rest on a hoax there let's get more on this story then joining us live now from washington is a good who is a former amman based journalist and a middle east analyst aaron a very warm welcome to the program so we've seen these protests continue and protest as the saying they simply will stall even with the prime minister resigning what's the core of this does this go beyond a kind of economic frustration and on race or definitely

goes beyond the specific tax hike for a prime minister malaki he resigned which is a significant victory for the protestors but the deep seated economic woes continue so some of these debts are really troublesome you have the rising unemployment to about eighteen percent and it's much higher in the periphery you have a monthly average monthly wage of about six hundred fifty dollars in jordan even though amman is one of the most expensive cities in the arab world and then finally you have the nearly doubling of bread prices so jordanian see the current government as helping the people in during these very difficult economic times and they are and what about the monarchy what role can it or perhaps should it play right now could this current turmoil put them in danger. well what is especially interesting about these protests is the speed that we've seen impact on the ground so on wednesday we saw the protests begin and already by

friday the king had suspended the fuel tax and then by monday we see the resignation of prime minister malaki which is really quite dramatic in terms of how everything has been going on now the question remains if the protests continue and the economic woes aren't solved will the people also speaking to turn their eye or towards the king himself because the king will have no one else to fire unless he continues to fire prime minister week after week so the situation is very dangerous right now for the kingdom and aaron we heard from one of the protest organizers earlier who said my cool we want to change the path not the individuals but when we talk about changing the path what could that mean well part of the reason this is so challenging is there are no cheap or populist moves that the government could do yes they could cut all the taxes but why these taxes have been implemented in the first place is because jordan's debt has spiraled up to forty billion dollars in addition to that you only have five percent of jordanians paying income tax so you

have a massive bloated bureaucracy were about a third of the population works estate but very little private sector growth so there are no easy decision for the government to make an even if he is switched with a different prime minister the same prime the next prime minister is going to face the same very difficult challenges which is why there are no easy solutions here. it's always been a bull basti and of stability. in countries in the region what do you think it's close neighbors and other countries around a currently thinking in terms of the support that jordan might end up needing. well i think there's a lot of concern in the region and even in the international community and general you have saudi arabia a fellow monarchy who sees the protests in jordan causing the downfall of the prime minister and they would be very concerned that this content spreading to their country as well you have israel which also neighbors jordan is jordan is one of two

arab countries that signed a peace treaty with israel and jordan its border with israel is generally one of the quietest is it would be very worried that instability in jordan could lead to possibly the rise of the muslim brotherhood which they very much opposed then finally you have the united states and russia who have very strong ties and security ties with jordan and they're very much interested in maintaining the status quo now prime minister foreign minister was on c.n.n. earlier today and he blamed the international community for not sufficiently supporting jordan during these economic times but i think it's important to also note the united states has dramatically increased amount of aid they're giving to jordan it's about one point five billion dollars a year now jordan receives nearly double per person in development aid in afghanistan or haiti according to the economist so jordan while it's consistently blaming the international community is looking for handouts it's going to be very difficult to solve some of these economic woes when your national debt is at forty billion dollars is the united states going to raise its annual assistance to jordan

for one and a half billion dollars to ten billion dollars it's just not a likely solution to the jordan needs to really deal with its own internal issues and kind of figure out how they're going to boost private sector growth and improve their education so they can compete in the twenty first century economy and not just look for handouts. joining me from washington d.c. evan thank you. thank you. thank you a single atom are searching for survivors after sunday's volcanic eruption that killed at least sixty two people emergency crews are working to find people who've been trapped in their homes at least one village has been birdied in lava and i was a supposed to be forced to evacuate it's the most violent of option of the flag of ok no more than forty years david marr says more. it is really a sixteen i'm in the middle of the rainy season here everything is lush to clean and yet they're on the slopes prada phrase of ok no everything is just action all right everything is color covered with. highway to pass through there has been

covered in two different spots and there's a lot of efforts right now to try to get that highway clear to allow some of these emergency vehicles to get a little bit closer to the epicenter of the slide now that where model and last i came down and came down like through an entire village i was there you know in what area was there for only about fifteen minutes to go for bodies out of the house they're going in. and just looking for the voluble because they just really thought is that looking for one of the keys rescue rescuers that i was speaking to was saying that it's very little hope at this stage that they're going to find any survivor they came down so fast and furious and then there's the problem that the law always close down there in the gulf but because of this amount of rain and because of the amount of glass on the side of the exclusion it does channel the completing the routing so it came down in an area where it normally doesn't come

down and it came down very very quickly and some people were just on able to get out of the on line certainly there's going to be a lot of question has really asked the disaster management agency on why those people weren't evacuated earlier. well david rather is a vulcan ologists and professor at the open university here in the u.k. he says it's not the lava that poses the biggest danger to the supplier of trusted flows of love or is molten rock relatively slow moving lots about erupting in hawaii over the top and that's why you go is an explosive eruption and it was a fast cascade of fragmented hot rock and gas sweeping down the mountainside the troubles of a hundred kilometers an hour it's very difficult to escape from it it's coming towards you and that seems to be what killed people in the case of for a go it's been particularly our own year on the have been some smaller events.

with hindsight people might start to ask why were people not evacuated because people were killed tooling the sails if this is being done in indonesia people would perhaps have been evacuated before her face fourteen people been killed in the side bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul it happened to thousands of religious scholars who are leaving a gathering of the cities polytechnic university and i said to create against the war in afghanistan the taliban to accept the government's peace offer jennifer classes in kabul and house more. the bomb went off as hundreds thousands of islamic scholars and clerics were finishing their meeting in what we call the jirga tent the loya jirga tent to really a conference hall in kabul as they were accident after a meeting where they condemned of the ongoing war as an islamic and condemn suicide bombers a bomber went off at the gate the entrance to that gathering where more than two thousand five hundred religious leaders had gotten together to try and persuade the
