no specific law that deals directly with waste management. dumping up and we have from other countries that we don't have composite be we don't have. the and we don't have the infrastructure to do that he says there's another domestic ways to keep the current business is open so there's no economic reason for thailand to take in other countries. it's got harder al-jazeera bangkok. more time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has bowed to pressure and signed an executive order to end his policy of separating migrant families at the mexican border children will now be detained with their parents for the maximum of twenty days but donald trump wants that extended so we're keeping families together and this will solve that

we understand the different themes. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring in the news and current events that matter to al-jazeera. in one thousand nine hundred forty eight the state of israel was proclaimed. palestine was lost. sixteen years later in one thousand nine hundred sixty four the palestine liberation organization or the p.l.o. was founded. made up of different factions the p.l.o. has been at the heart of the struggle to regain palestine ever since. the.

by the end of the sixties the palestinians had become masters of their own destiny . but a bloody showdown was on the horizon. not with israel but with fellow arabs. the palestinian commando movement emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the region following the defeat of the arab states in the one nine hundred sixty seven. the palestinians had taken their first steps towards emancipation from the arab world. and that. would allow us at the arab league all of these factors doesn't look at blow to the arab custodianship of the palestinians and their cause and thus palestinians became the masters of their destiny. the palestinians took full advantage of the state of chaos suffered by the

defeated out of regimes palestinian guerrilla factions the most prominent of which was fatah consolidated their grip on the refugee camps in the arab world hundreds of fresh recruits and rolled to join these factions the image of young for the even more freedom fighters clad in the traditional palestinian headscarf became an icon of resistance. egyptian president jammeh nobly nasr cast aside his initial misgivings and embraced but. at the same time he dissolved his traditional alliance with the arab nationalist movement a rival palestinian faction to father. of the not that. nasr broke off his relationship with the arab nationalist movement and adopted not only did they adopt that but he also took out a fight with him on a trip to moscow while the hell outta play him up a nazi and. i walked in and not submit me across the room and lo and

behold the soviet troika got top of work towards me and greeted me and. the next day they launched an official dialogue with me it doesn't it. other arab regimes also vied for influence among the palestinians as a way to gain leverage on the regional scene both iraq and syria encourage the establishment of new palestinian factions allied to them at the classified cia document found that fact that independence had influenced serious decision to set up a palestinian faction whose allegiance lay firmly with damascus the syrian government unable to subvert fatah for use as a political weapon recently organized a group known as the vanguard of the people's liberation war but not all arab states held the palestinians in such high esteem ginko saying was still reeling from the loss of the west bank in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven illustrate the photo to be. israel's occupation of the west bank effectively meant the loss of

half the country. imagine a person suddenly having to walk on one leg that's why the one nine hundred sixty seven war was such an earthquake for jordan. in jordan one palestinian strolled through the streets enjoying freedom of movement and launching operations from jordanian territory against israel jordan began to view these attacks with increasing alarm nasr was assisting the palestinians in training and arms but he ensured that no operations were launched from egyptian territory without stringent egyptian control and coordination father and other palestinian factions acted with much greater freedom within the weaker state of jordan in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine palestinian commandos shot down a lebanese army helicopter during clashes with the lebanese state. and egyptian brokered agreement known as the cairo accord put an end to the clashes. but the accord effectively legitimized the presence of on palestinian factions on lebanese

soil something which was to have serious consequences for stability eleven on in the years to come. besides creating waves in arab regimes the palestinian factions also revolutionized their own society in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine for the leader yasser arafat was elected chairman of the p.l.o. the election marked a new era the guerrillas were in the ascendant overthrowing the traditional hold of more established palestinian families such was the impact of the p.l.o. on the fedayeen that out of its image had made the cover of time magazine. but it was in jordan the base for most of the palestinian factions where the fedayeen is growing assertiveness because most probably yes they had set up a state within a state in jordan and the actions they planned and carried out soon began to rock the region. armed gunmen roam the streets of the capital amman and jordan's other main cities like in a bit and suck up palestinian guerrillas no longer restricted themselves to bases

in the more inaccessible parts of the country complaints about palestinian excesses quickly might at thirty five be honest about it between one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and one nine hundred seventy one and there were more than thirty thousand cases of lawlessness from the throwing of hand grenades to premeditated murder there were even attacks against his majesty the king all of this was tolerated with tremendous patience by his majesty because i think he felt a certain responsibility for the events of nine hundred sixty seven. to his dying days he felt it especially the loss of jerusalem king hussein may have felt for the loss of jerusalem in the west bank in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but his patience with the palestinians was beginning to wear thin for their part palestinian figures to this day contend that dark forces were at play determined to bring about a showdown. levon the columbia to be honest we're not saints in jordan we made mistakes but these mistakes we're made

out to be sens to then in intelligence used to create their own field day in organizations whose role was to wreak havoc in the country we apprehended one such organization set up by military intelligence with some seventy members we deported them to syria and we later released them the revolutionary zeal of the palestinians knew no boundaries radical leftist ideology could be seen sprayed on mosque walls private property was considered up for grabs had a thought for. the what this left and zeal i called a delicate childhood manifested itself in the celebration of lennon's birthday and deliver remarks or speeches from puppets of mosques it was an excuse for theft expensive cars would be stolen and the excuse was that they belonged to the bush war classes it was leftist immaturity had that. they were absent provocation and the democratic front for the liberation of palestine used to paint slogans such as

all power to the resistance what does this mean it means that the democratic front was working towards the overthrow of the jordanian to jena. tensions were rising on the streets of on the dominant palestinian faction fatah attempted to distance itself from such excesses but the artifact could not or would not rein in the different factions and was unable to prevent the situation spiraling out of control groups such as the popular front and the democratic front where independent factions over which arafat exerted little control things began to come to a head in july one nine hundred seventy when palestinian factions in jordan staged massive rallies condemning president nasser for accepting a peace plan submitted by u.s. secretary of state william rogers palestinian demonstrators shouted insults at nasr the egyptian leader was furious. for they have. to get out of the house

nasser's aide haykel said what are you doing the president is upset you are swearing at us and using the radio station we provided you with in egypt to do it then nasr received us in alexandria he said he had been pacing up and down for two hours trying to stop himself from saying anything that would hurt us. with tensions increasing in jordan it was a bad time for the palestinians to fall out of favor with nasser to this day some palestinians feel the egyptian leader gave a nod then the wink to king hussein of jordan punish the palestinians yeah. that's true he told king hussein to twist our ear but he didn't ask him to massacre us. and then nasser went to murder someone threw so he would not being cairo when things came to a head. but the jordanians were still in two minds about what course of action to pursue against the armed palestinians in their midst the prime minister was recommended a more conciliatory approach. this matter much and that the. i

told him the palestinians will not withdraw unless they are faced with a superior force so what. are you dissenting i said no this is our recommendation based on the intelligence available to us. his majesty then intervene and the doctors in my recommendation. on september sixth one nine hundred seventy the popular front for the liberation of palestine or p f l p force the jordanians hand . it hijacked airliners belonging to swiss air in t.w.a. eight and forced them to land at a disused runway in the jordanian desert known as dawson's feet and. a third hijacking of an israeli aircraft was thwarted midair with one hijacker killed and the other captured. the plane landed in london and the hijacker layla khalid

was taken into custody. then at the f.l.b. member in bahrain hijacked a british airliner and forced it to fly to dawson's field to join the other two hijacked planes. this spectacular act of air piracy was masterminded by a senior b f l b leader called what the a hundred. the b f l p was born from the remnants of the arab nationalist movement and headed right towards us it adopted the revolutionary marxist doctrine when the hundred was one of its co-founders he had become a mastermind of airline hijacking. beginning in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight hundred had put his theories of revolutionary violence into practice by hijacking several israeli and western aircraft but the multiple hijacking in one thousand seven hundred was his most important feed to date it required meticulous even scientific planning at the end never shut it off during the planning stages when he had sent in g.'s and surveyors to those on field they had returned with

a recommendation that their own way could handle modern jets well yeah dad has shit or atilla make and yes he can yak a bin up but i had to get done what you had that spoke in charge or he was obviously the man in charge he told our chief of staff to pull the jordanian tops back he added that if we didn't comply it would immediately blow up. that remains within seconds and he emphasized that in english by saying i mean it. i remember this clearly. on september twelfth the p f l b removed the passengers and blew up the planes. with his hold on power rapidly disintegrating king hussein formed the military cabinet to finally deal with the anarchy in his country. the cabinet included intelligence officers and none aboard gallatin ficarra letty directly when the military cat.
