god and balanced i will sit in the hand. consider. what. will thomas must. and what. we did was to set the digit that did the. letters in that there. were many. missteps be it that. almost. the palestinian authorities limited power stems from the wording of the oslo accord signed in one nine hundred ninety three and one thousand nine hundred five the

accords controversially divided the palestinian territories into three distinctive administrative areas known as a b. and c. area constitutes about eighteen percent of the west bank in theory the palestinian authority exercises full civil and security control here area b. constitutes twenty one percent of the west bank here the palestinian authority has civil control but shares security control with israel jewish settlers have taken control of land in area be in violation of the oslo accords. area c. constitutes approximately sixty one percent of the west bank it's under full israeli civil and security control and the five year to. go with. abu suckered and the meds

both live in area c. to purchase supplies they have to travel through several israeli checkpoints. checkpoints are a frustrating feature of daily life for most palestinians. under the. following the one nine hundred sixty seven war many palestinians of the jordan valley were uprooted from their homes and became refugees in neighboring jordan. since then israel has refused their right of return or rights to pilate had by international law. only ten thousand were able to remain.

today the total population is around sixty thousand with ten thousand of these in areas south where the settlements building is concentrated it's. shortly after the war israel began to build settlements on the land that had captured and occupied one such settlement is missing built on land confiscated from the villages of and i know in one nine hundred sixty seven. is a security officer in the settlements he agreed to be filmed but not to speak on camera we asked if he thought the jordan valley would be returned to the palestinian peace agreement. from other true it's a look at those who look everywhere skimmed over. with so little over the top dozens of those alerts that because it shows up with whatever this is going to hit

the local sources on its own as an article like england school it will just go to school. get the guns in oil get dollar let's us to lie by story that he was a scam general just like let's just find the locals in. the israeli palestinians building your own as house in the settlements also refused to speak on camera when. they knew they would be considered traitors for the work they do. with. this man david was an israeli soldier stationed here in the one nine hundred sixty seven war. he decided to start acting that. he became an agricultural consultant in charge of exports and the settlements produce.

a member of the in the momentum required. to be on this has been my longest opening will remain ben in pm and on our own was covered in digital. the jordan valley has them of the most fertile land in all of the occupied territories arable farming is deemed a lifeline for many rural palestinian communities yet israel controls most of the water resources in the area. passes the bay dad is still mayor of the village of the bay to. the villages with an area c. of the jordan valley. credits

with. my other thirty when i was an invalid never did i. come to the same for me got them and he had us and as there are many of the should cannot not. have been an animal got to listen to what officer. sureness of our material must open for so i built a submarine with them when i can honor them for the stunning stuff that's an awesome about them some method of a star other. than a mythical blood an animal that i call a knot and i'm going to save us at the end then you come to learn to feel free of this without the what is not in the merger what i thought a judgement how when you open about the neck of a bad the service of the nurse that didn't deserve a second big no i heard the one that came. when i went in for your month and if you are not and you are not in the night the nights are limited to the law

what motion had you not what you had to live in a lower. you know sort of. a lot in the band. i am unsure and so can you. a month or a third of it and i. headed the jordan valley solidarity campaign a community group supporting palestinian farmers in the jordan valley against israeli land seizures. fashion it kind of and then been implemented more subtle dualie minimize. them and then been the theme.

at the phenomena without them is that the most. minute nablus a lot of talk about. the need for the. war. to have. had. a lot of them. for the for being.

and. no one in the future and i think the. minute that i didn't. mean. i'd be. any more of a. i want to be. rather than. the little out of the world a little gun how one. could be insane will tell you one wouldn't about. a small fry do the minimum but the thing but he did it alamo had the bit in god. did seem to

have a need to go out that is somebody is looking into the middle so you sort of got me on that a little bit more but there's not a lot of the oh my didn't receive a mug or mother saying that missy is. not a little me again a living. yet the good the street where the mad meanness is the in. a lot of money but in the jersey. city was traveling with five bus loads of people from the jordan valley to dom on the seat of the palestinian authority to demand better living conditions including. a lot of his stuff in a. city in. the car coming up ever. wonder how i have never.

or that fed us to you for my is it on that says i mean you didn't a lot of money will soon come what funny in a magazine yeah misfit how did it get him well it's just a little book filled with in the tub and more up to have. two weeks after the demonstration and on one long the israeli army turned up to demolish a post suckers home. it wasn't the first time a post a car had had to watch his home and his life uprooted.

living had a million living in it i know him about the long haul and lost on him before donahue's you know i didn't have much. of either though about you a bomb attack on a bottle of all my second in and out of them a second that we had a gun out in public so i. got the model home from. work and now why they hate. within a week of the demolitions volunteers from the jordan valley solidarity group arrived

to help with soccer and his neighbors rebuild their homes. between twenty eleven and twenty eighteen four hundred fifty eight housing units were demolished in the jordan valley districts of two of us and jericho by the israeli army. during that same period three of her sons and up a sucker himself spent time in israeli prisons all but one son were held without

charge or trial the. eldest son sucker was charged with possession of a weapon and sentenced to nine months in jail. sucker has filed for a dismissal of the case. his home compound has been destroyed three times. the little fakir i bet god or. get him again. well some of it. since al jazeera first filmed the palestinian hamlet of what in twenty eleven it's been completely sealed off to its residents by the israeli army.

a bullet fee and his family have also had to leave the hamlets and move to i had to deal. a bullet people at his flock with a hammer and continues to earn a living as a shepherd. dolphin ahmad was further heads in july twenty eighth when the israeli army removed all the water pipes. a man and her family have similarly moved further away from the israeli settlement of mask yards in order to avoid confrontations with the starters. at army the settler and security chief of mask yards has been caught on camera threatening palestinians with expulsion from the jordan valley.

the entrepreneur and exports her david's still works at the israeli export company in the jordan valley. city in her daily revisited the family of land mine victim has a narrow cobb who's now nineteen and learned that he'd recovered from most of his wounds but has now quit school and is working illegally as a cook in israel and has a hundred. yes only or also send them all of a devil as they end all this stuff then that's. a big advantage and i've seen em move just way on ok because. most of the seven hundred landmines in the jordan valley the dated back to the one nine hundred sixty seven war were removed by the israeli army in twenty twelve. in iran and

by a dog mohammad that asma is now thirty five and with the help of physiotherapy he has learned to use a wheelchair. almost better for us for those gov ok we're sending people. only a little local already. since twenty seven thousands more palestinians have been injured by gunshot wounds from the israeli army. some things have not changed the palestinians in the jordan valley still pay seven u.s. dollars per cubic meter of water and travel up to twenty seven kilometers to get to the closest water source. but since twenty eleven the number of military checkpoints in the jordan valley has doubled. the israeli policy on

settlements has also hardened in twenty eighteen it announced plans to expand fourteen of the twenty existing illegal settlements and build three new ones thereby doubling the israeli settler population. that will have a. new business head you. my father left my wife maggie my me out malcolm all got off the list i would call malta oh yes. but since al jazeera first filmed with her sitting her daddy got married had a baby boy and moved to better the harm in the occupied west bank but was significantly arrested for threatening the safety of the state of israel and jeopardizing its economy. she spent nine months in prison including three in solitary confinement. tellingly part of the case

against her during her interrogation in prison was this program. had the form of that is if the cliffy at the end of it i would have an admin with sort of site about it off and on that i was just listening to said look. or love at the end that i look at it a lot of little seven. s. and i can move the whole family left that. it's striking how sitting on a bull stockard and all the other palestinians in this film are just as determined now as they were in twenty eleven never to leave the jordan valley.

from brisk news and fuel. to the war trying to those of southeast asia. hello there there's plenty of dry fine weather to be found across the south america at the moment we are seeing a bit more cloud their work its way across parts of southern chile as nudging is way northwards toward sense iago say one thousand degrees the maximum temperature for wednesday and then as the cloud of rain rolls its way across us it will be cooler as we head into thursday we're also going to see some rain for the east as well that will be gathering over some parts of argentina and across europe why as well but to the north of that is still going to stay really quite hot with asuncion all the way up a thirty seven degrees and remember this is still supposed to be winter further towards the north and we've got plenty of showers here across many parts of the central americas and some of the showers have been particularly heavy over parts of

cuba more still to come here as we head through the next few days more also seeing plenty of heavy rain through parts of panama and through costa rica rosewell further north for the temp and into the be a bit more sunshine here and just the occasional shower and further north of course it's been very hot in the eastern part of the u.s. recently that's all ahead of this system here the arizona feeding up from the south bringing that hot and humid with it this rain though is working its way eastward so eventually it will reach us and bring us a bit of a light relief for now though on wednesday stay hot with a maximum temperature in new york of thirty three. there with sponsored by the time he's.

zero. zero zero and welcome to the al-jazeera news hour live from my headquarters and with me elizabeth around them coming up in the next sixty minutes a dam is breached in myanmar flooding villages and forcing thousands of people to flee. education in crisis for refugee school children a new study says four million are getting an education and i think to really take

it is then to give a lot of people. think it's a very serious george and donald trump who goes after google accusing the search engine of unfair practices and had to get regulation on paul reese with all the sports including the new olympic discipline of skateboarding gets a preview at the asian games as the first medals are handed out in jakarta. more than fifty thousand people are being evacuated from their homes in myanmar after a dam burst at least one hundred villages have been flooded in the balgo region and central myanmar along with a major highway all part of the. broke after heavy monsoon rains and water levels are expected to keep rising convoys of military trucks carrying boats are on their

way but the army chief says the overflow channel cannot be controlled with senior meteorologist. joining us for more on this it is monsoon season in myanmar. is this out of the ordinary or rather has anything out of the ordinary been happening this month so stressful let's have a look at the monsoon season i've got a little graphic that will show you what we expect rain rain wise every month so we can show the little picture there you can see exactly how much rain you're expecting so january february barely any at the beginning of the year but then june july august those are the big rain months in july and august you expect over four hundred millimeters of rain each month incredibly wet london only get six hundred new year so that's really wet and then it tails off in september so if there was going to be a breach of a down or any problems it's likely to be at the end of the monsoon season which is where we are now and how your other question whether or not there's been anything out of the ordinary just a couple of weeks ago was the beginning of august the end of july that sort of time there was quite

a large flood issue in the coastal region of me and ma and in the south and one hundred fifty thousand people were displaced during the those floods so clearly the monsoon has be more active than usual in the southern locations in the coastal locations where this is actually happened this breach of the dam i would say is just on the northern edge of that so probably the monsoon has been heavy and then this is the end of the monsoon season so that's why there's been major problems at the moment steph thank you very much for that thank you. now the myanmar government is calling them false allegations that international pressure is growing for military leaders to be prosecuted for the genocide of one hundred muslims at least ten thousand were killed and around three quarters of a million fled during an army offensive which began a year ago the un secretary general said that suffered horrendous persecution as the security council debated mass killing and gang great detail by investigators

mike hanna has more from the un headquarters in new york. this meeting was before the release of the un report but it was the subject of discussion of many of the speakers in particular as the report held that the military leaders responsible for atrocities and recommend state acted it said with genocidal intent the secretary general did not give any specific direction to the security council as to how it should proceed however it did say that the report must form the basis of its negotiations i believe these reports findings and recommendations these are of serious consideration by all relevant united nations bodies you fact of regional cooperation will be critical to ensure that the come to believe credible transparent impartial independent and comply with myanmar's obligations and the international law but the british ambassador indicated that no immediate action is

imminent she said it's likely that the report must first go to formal debate within the human rights council which commissioned the report in the first place before the security council takes a decision this is a report by the fact finding mission it will go in september for formal debate in the human rights council and then we hope we will debate it or deal with it in some suitable way in the security council but many members of the security council insistent that action must be taken sooner rather than later strong words from the u.s. ambassador we are now all armed with the devastating eyewitness accounts of the rohingya which lead us to the following conclusions children they be women and men suffered unspeakable crimes the attacks were planned premeditated and coordinated the perpetrator was the burmans military and security forces. the whole

world is watching what we will do next and if we will accept the one point of agreement that the security council must act in a united manner part of the issue the problem of china it is perceived as being against immediate action based on the un report earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued a statement saying that myanmar does not cope well with pressure. now you're a month call for palestinian refugees have a go and despite u.s. aid cuts half a million students resume the toughest in gaza and the occupied west bank the un body responsible for palestinian refugees says it only has enough money to keep the schools open until september though after washington flashed funding earlier this year there are reports that the u.s. are considering ending or financial assistance to the agency this is just days

after an elf two hundred million dollars in cuts how a force that has more from west to oversee them. well as making good this wednesday on its pledge announced last week that it would open its schools in the occupied palestinian territories and in its other three areas of operation on time despite the huge financial pressure that it's been under this year after the united states decided to withdraw three hundred of the three hundred sixty five million dollars that it was to provided to the agency this is come in the light of a great deal of political pressure that's been applied to iraq and to the palestinians under the administration of donald trump and there's been reporting in the israeli press in recent days the israeli media that the united states intends to go further by restricting the definition of palestine refugees to only those who came out of what was then how a stein in one hundred forty eight before the creation of the state of israel so restricting the number from more than five million to five hundred thousand and

indeed permanently cutting off all u.s. funding. for the agency the agency's head was at one of the schools reopening today in the occupied west bank he said that the un run mandate was not for sale the palestinian leadership have actually rejected this position which is being reported has yet to be thought formally confirmed by the united states it is something though that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has long argued for both the restriction of the definition of palestine refugees and also the disbandment of entirely although there are those in the israeli security establishment former military officers and the like who have been telling the israeli media that they are concerned about restricting or preventing iran from operating because of the security implications that could have don't forget it provides education to some five hundred thousand palestinian children it provides food aid to many of the more than one million refugees inside gaza so there is no much by no means
