now in excess of two hundred fifty million u.s. dollars and we still have a very big task ahead at this point we do not i repeat we do not have the income to ensure that the schools will open on time in august and in the absence of significant new funding we will have to begin taking very difficult measures in july impacting the level of services as well as our staff the situation will be particularly critical for emergency operations in the west bank and in gaza what is at risk is food for one million people in the gaza strip as ever at these sort of pledging conferences a little hard to work out exactly what is new money and what has already been committed by countries in the past it appears though there are some new funds coming from the e.u. from mexico from sweden and from belgium and other countries like the u.k. bringing forward some of their funding their total amounts though are nowhere near

the shortfall of two hundred fifty million dollars and the u.n. is still desperately looking for further funding. while the us has been a big contributor on are almost every year in twenty fifteen it donated about three hundred eighty million dollars that's more than double the second highest contributor together the u.s. and european commission donated forty one percent of the agency's total funding arab states including related foundations and n.g.o.s gave a total of two hundred four million dollars. former u.s. diplomat hillary mann leverett says the white house is trying to send a message to both the palestinians and western allies by cutting funding to honor. i think the trouble ministration is in a sense deliberately trying to squeeze the palestinians to squeeze them through and through the cutting of funding through but also freezing aid directly to the palestinians that that washington gives us the palestinian authority in ramallah so

we see these things happening at the same time as politically the troubling ministration is getting ready to roll out its deal of the century or some sort of settlement with israel an arab states the idea is to squeeze the palestinians as hard as possible and really force a settlement where the arab states of have to have to absorb the palestinians and therefore there wouldn't be a refugee issue as the united states pulls out its financial support it makes it harder for other countries to really make up that shortfall because they fear being punished by the united states they fear losing access to the u.s. market they fear being punished by u.s. allies particularly in the middle east some of our arab our arab friends may similarly want to go along with the troubling ministration and therefore not look kindly on european countries for example that could increase significantly their financial contribution so the u.s. withdrawal is really meant to not only pull out u.s. funding but to have

a chilling effect on other countries funding the organization the drug administration's peace plan for israel and palestine has been the agenda of the white house with the president hosted jordan's king abdullah from senior advisor and son in law just a question so the plan will be announced soon with or without support from the palestinian leadership president mahmoud abbas has refused to work with the u.s. since december when it recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. the e.u. is calling on all parties in yemen to prevent any further escalation of the conflict and to work towards a nationwide ceasefire despite this fighting continues as the saudi amorality coalition battles who see rebels for control of the strategic or data port rebels there say the coalition has carried out five air strikes in the area or a budding money reports of relief for forty prisoners released by hooty rebels during the battle ahead a deployment in exchange saudi u.a.e.

people's party after work out how they can ever successfully challenge an even more powerful president. and his act party ambushed us through the new regime the stakes effects from today on words is a major danger for turkey a single party or a single person becoming the state and the same time the executive legislative and the judiciary is a problem of existence in itself and will continue to be a major danger for turkey. charismatic uncrowned pleasing n.j. won thirty percent of votes which missed his own minimum target by five percent he'd hoped to force a second round run off with her to one while injured in cheney is the only one to have increased the c.h.p. vote but he copied earlier ones one man rule approach so he lost potential votes from the ak party voters who had enough of that sort of thing he should have sold themselves as part of a team and focus more on the economy the c.h.p. and other opposition parties will need to revitalize demoralize supporters. i'm not

quite sure how much worse it should get to increase opposition votes we build up our hopes on the c.h.p. each election we are disappointed in and get it done where i mean jay was very good but the c.h.p. needs to reform it has to co-create with other parties and prioritize the national interests another challenge for the opposition parties is making their voice heard in a parliament now stripped of much of its power to hold to account a government run by a president with strength and executive powers in this election campaign the opposition mainly tried to persuade voters that while i've been in power too long they didn't say much about what the alternatives looked like the c.h.p. will say that was because calling early elections gave them a little time well now they've up to five years to work out what their vision of turkey would be but it's what al-jazeera anchor. president jiang has slammed a motorcycle make a harley davidson for planning to move some of its production out of the us that
