event james dorsey is the author of the turbulent world of the middle east soccer also a fellow at the technological university joins me now from singapore good to have you with us mr dorsey acting tough but no one in saudi seems to be acting despite the chief of sitting next to the saudi crown prince at the opening ceremony. we got a statement is that an executive statement that earlier this week a similar statement governor that by the confederation of african before will be asked to be. what you are seeing basically is a get in of if they get a picture of a saudi bid to. gain influence within an actual soccer government and partly you would have to go where you can but also in terms of trying to isolate both got our energy is wrong and the president got it got it but the
7:14 pm
paedo has pretty quickly got to saudis in recent months over the past year as the development of our old boat while you suggest that saudi has influence or wants to gain influence within feet for what legal avenues either to have all ducats to stop this. well there are obviously. with regard to broadcast rights because walk away from it and those broadcasting rights are stalled by the law but what you're seeing is a much broader scale the number of deaths you've had course of all the formation of the saudi led that direction of a good and in the least very vocal at a rate which is in the two on the one hand a good mind be in football doesn't break in and on the other hand the west agent before the way in which all middle eastern national of speculation except for
7:15 pm
israel you see a proposal for twenty five billion dollars and but that is to move people out who are going to buy software and which saudi arabia is a major. investor if not the foremost investor you've also see the kid playing both by saudi arabia and the guys there and ready to give my ability got here. of the two thousand one hundred world cup and you now have this dispute over the broadcasting rights in terms of being able to act or not tax i mean how how much of an issue is it that you have seen the saudi officials we have the chief of the sports hall forward. al-shaykh offering a very different narrative saying that cattle has backed out of a deal with a this argument this war of words continues is there no influence that fee for hands on saudi because you were discussing that are telling us about the it was
7:16 pm
that saudi wants within fee for. well if it was off limits on the let me come to the broadcasters like the real question which is do we want it here or is there was. this point a lot of the issues they want to do this simply because you see enormous business opportunity in terms of cif is responsibility to cats and to be in sports perhaps to put it mildly they have a duty of care because b.n. has spent billions of dollars gaining the rights to the world cup in the middle east and therefore they would look to see first to try and help them out to distil other. that's absolutely correct. but on the other hand you have a local development which in a sense is. to. be.

7:21 pm
welcome back i'm so robin you're watching the al-jazeera news these are all top stories the u.n. special envoy watching griffiths has landed in yemen for emergency talks on the who day the battle the yemeni government says its forces backed by the saudi of iraqi coalition have captured the city's airport from p.c. rebels also china's buying like for like retaliation after donald trump ordered twenty five percent trade tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports chinese government leaders accuse the u.s. president of provoking a trade war and the greek government facing a vote of no confidence because of the deal to end. a decade's old dispute with a neighbor macedonia over its name greek nationalists say the agreement to change the name of the former yugoslav republic to north of macedonia is a humiliating defeat. more than seven hundred palestinian residents of a neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem are awaiting
7:22 pm
a decision from israel's high court which could determine their right to live in their own homes challenging a ruling that transferred ownership of the land under their homes to a jewish trust more than a decade ago many of them have already been subject to a fiction they've just as harry force it has more. the steep slopes of civil war on an occupied east jerusalem have in recent years become ever more dotted with jewish settler homes now one palestinian community within this neighborhood is coming under further pressure so heroes are these family has lived in but on the however for more than fifty years his father bought this house he has the documents that he says prove his claim but since twenty fifteen he and his family have been living under the threat of eviction. we were shocked we had lived here i was born here grew up here and married here me my brothers and my kids we're all here the whole family is here a jewish trust claims ownership of the neighborhood citing
7:23 pm
a deal struck in the late nineteenth century providing homes here for yemeni jews in two thousand and two the justice ministry rewarded the land to that trust now controlled by a process and organization that buys and builds homes in occupied east jerusalem now palestinians with homes here have petitioned the high court the state's attorney in the case admitting procedural failings in the way the land was transferred the residents argument is that the ottoman era law which is being used in the attempt to evict them has been misinterpreted that it should have implied ownership only over the buildings that were once lived in by jewish occupants here not ownership of the land it still remains and they point out that in a separate dispute over land elsewhere in east jerusalem the government ruled that land ownership was not conferred by the law judging in that case that a muslim trust shouldn't be awarded the rights to it or get it locks our problem is that we oppose the jewish claims that this area is a jewish endowment and even the court has issued a verdict against the arabs the right wing jewish organization involved
7:24 pm
a terror at koa name declined our request for an interview on the court case but it is generally happy to promote its work increasing the jewish presence in east jerusalem so hero jobby has placed security cameras around his home for evidence of his own in case of disputes with the settler neighbors the larger dispute over the ownership of this land will be decided in israel's high court harry for sit out his era occupied east jerusalem. is that israeli lawyer specializing in the geopolitics of jerusalem joins me now from i could have you with us a london property take not a new story in this region but what's the bigger picture in relation to silwan how unique is the situation. i think that the situation is unprecedented since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel expropriated approximately a third of the privately owned land in jerusalem but there were virtually no
7:25 pm
displacement vixens these were empty lands i by no means justify but there were very few people who were displaced there have been settlement efforts on claves in and around silwan the muslim quarter they have targeted individual homes this is the first time in which we have an entire palestinian community that is under threat of addiction this is a community at risk as no other community has been at risk since the days and weeks after the war in one nine hundred sixty seven what is happening here is happening in two other places and. it is unprecedented it's dangerous and it needs to be checked so what's the long term objective that of the sutler groups and those that support them who claim. property rights based on religion know all kid logical history. their claims are
7:26 pm
based on something that i consider to be very very problematic in one nine hundred forty eight two thousand jews lost their properties in what was to become east jerusalem twenty thousand palestinians lost their homes in west jerusalem and its environs after the war in one nine hundred sixty seven it became possible for the jews to recover their properties the palestinians may not one city one war properties to both one may recover properties and the other can know the objective of this learner's is not simple but i would say it is biblically motivated that is not the argument didn't law but that is the motivation and that is the restoration of a biblical kingdom in and around the old city of jerusalem some times with
7:27 pm
messianic ramifications i mean as it stands the law sets up an administered by israel with israeli judges it seems quite obvious to favor the jewish claimant what options are available all to palestinian residents have to defend any rights they may have to live in their own home that they believe they have owned for generations. i have argued more than twenty five cases relating to drew sloan before the israeli supreme court so i understand the benefits and i understand the limitations in the limitations are many i am pleased to say a bit surprised that the hearing that the palestinian residents received a week ago by the israeli supreme court was encouraging they understood the panel of judges just how problematic that is butt. in my experience before the
7:28 pm
israeli supreme court it's very often that they send me a subtext take this to the political arena. supreme courts do not like to deal with radioactive issues in israel israel and palestine there are two radioactive issues refugees and jerusalem and what is happening in both another how why. is nuclear fusion it is imperative that friends of israel engage on this look i'm an israeli i'm a patriot i do not want my government to commit a war crime the forceful displacement of a civilian population under occupation is a war crime i want to prevent that as an israeli patriot i would encourage friends of israel to do the same well we shall see what does happen in the coming days when
7:29 pm
you just scratch the surface on the subject it's been very nice to speak to you tell your side and in the streets would think it's a. let's move to the americans now colombians are heading to the polls on sunday to choose the next president in a runoff vote in the first of all a two part series we profile conservative candidates even decay something could jeopardize the historic peace deal with fog rebels and the force of a bucket. in colombia memories are a precious commodity especially in a nation with thousands of being killed by the colombian military death referred to as extra judicial executions the military use those deaths to falsely claim they've killed more guerrillas jacqueline chrystia lost her brother ten years ago see them and what they see sadly we can say there is a sense of indifference in society to the plight of the victims we need people to stand up and say we can't let this happen again we need to end it for good but instead people often don't seem to care. the deaths of innocent civilians are just
7:30 pm
one of the issues even duke a will face if elected at forty one he's a fresh face in colombian politics untested and handpicked by former president alberto. levy has been accused of human rights abuses but remains popular among right wing voters critics fear duke it will be little more of a former president with a questionable past but those in the business community welcome his economic policies keep things that we need to keep growing we need to insert ourselves of economic international economic that works and we need to bring more money to a country and more progress economically turks. the biggest fear among voters though is do case plans for the peace accords with the falk rebels the historic agreement signed in two thousand and sixteen ended decades of conflict but dickey is a critic. running on the campaign slogan. war hard but it's what he may do with the peace accords which many here are concerned some say the agreements up entirely
7:31 pm
other cities more likely to modify it but for the thousands of families that have lost loved ones educate victory could mean they won't get the odd justice they so desperately seek kamens or gomez lost one son to an extrajudicial killing her other was murdered when he tried to find out what happened she tells us the possibility of a duke a presidency makes her angry and will see no justice he says no truth colombia's voters remain deeply divided on sunday they'll find out who their new president is and what the future might look like and again bogota colombia the muslims around the world celebrating the eve holiday at the end of the holy month of ramadan but there's little to cheer in syria especially for the many orphans from the war charity workers are giving hope to some of the. reports. sometimes to me a smile can be the hardest thing to do some of these little faces are exactly in
7:32 pm
that. type of night these children were born under fire in the north and syrian countryside they have lost both parents and their homes in missile strikes and the . real experiences are hard to get over but one charity organization has come to the rescue of these often and their lives have started to change a sense. our primary objective is to draw on the faces of these orphans as we buy them closer shoes for instance we're trying to help them come out of the tribe that you war the loss of parents the psychological trauma i personally feel as if they're all my own children and having myself grown up an orphan i don't want them to go through the same conditions. and i was two years old when her parents were killed in a raid by the syrian army she's trying to cope with the trauma. nurse of a the same prepares how for the celebration which marks the end of the fasting month
7:33 pm
of ramadan down our city i'm going to i'm in charge of twenty girls between the ages of three and ten i provide total care for them including health and psychological needs they came here and deplorable condition afraid to mix and communicate with others so we socialize with them and try to give them hope and a way out of misery. once this to be a memorable one for the one hundred children here solved they were taken shopping. in addition to new clothes they got other gifts. so it is great for today they brought us the nicest clothes and presents i've lost the dearest people that i had but thank god we've been compensated i have a nurse whom i feel like my own mother she feeds me and teaches me and even babes me and does my hair she provides me with everything i need. on top of the list of.
