because we want mahinda rajapaksa back he's the only one he can deal with the country's problems mahinda rajapaksa is beating the opposition campaign he was president for nine years is seen as a hero by many for ending the almost thirty year long civil war with tamil tiger rebels he lost the two thousand and fifteen election to form a health minister my trip to the same after accusations of human rights abuses and corruption of president saddam hussein and the government was seen as a fresh start but critics say their failed to deliver on many election promises. there are many things working in my head to rajapakse his favor right now there are the everyday issues that are brought people onto the streets combined with what's perceived to be a weak unstable government into. someone recently got it as the strongman of sri lankan politics who clearly sees an opportunity the government says it is achievable goals but needs more time mahinda rajapaksa son who's seen as

a potential future leader of sri lanka says time is up for the governments and so people doesn't want to get higher there could be a higher tax i'm so i'm sure the people in the on a team where they're all there can certainly stop their losing jobs and that the unemployment rate is going up mahinda rajapaksa is calling for political change but he's barred from becoming president again because of the constitutional two term limits but as he proved when he was in power the constitution can be changed and he clearly still enjoys plenty of support wayne hay al-jazeera colombo. the us secretary of state says he is hopeful the relationship with pakistan can be reset my pompei are met with newly elected prime minister imran khan in islamabad just days after the u.s. said it was cutting military aid to slam event for failing to tackle armed groups. a town mayor who had been accused by philippine president rodrigo to territory of

citizenship records around four million people in the street or at risk of becoming statements to be viewed. through these are. both sides of this issue talk to al-jazeera. ok and you're in the stream the u.n. agency providing assistance to millions of palestinian refugees is facing the biggest crisis in its seventy year history after the u.s. announced it will no longer make funding contributions imo we could be a lot of today will consider what this means for those in need send us your comments your questions and i'll pose them to our panel as always at a.j. stream.

more than five million palestinian refugees in the occupied palestinian territories jordan lebanon and syria are waiting to see how u.n. services they rely on will be affected now that the u.s. has stopped all future contributions the u.s. has long been the biggest funder to the u.n. agency known as on the run it granted more than three hundred sixty four million dollars to the organization and twenty seventeen but on friday the u.s. state department called on iraq and irredeemably flawed operation while announcing future contributions will be cancelled those cuts to just a week after the us cancel two hundred million dollars in direct assistance to palestinians to reach you as a id agency take a look at how the budget could affect some services.

for more on this we are joined by our a spokesman chris gunness he joins us from moscow from does that we have in tomorrow here she's a dental student hundred universities and has received assistance in the past and right when asked again mohammed eight he's a graduate student on a joint program for the university of north carolina and juke university and he has worked as an education specialist at hello everybody it's really good to have you here chris me reels off a whole lot of stats and figures and what the impact might be but if we go beyond

those figures into real people's lives what difference does it make that the u.s. is no longer going to give money to authorize an agency. well i'm sure that but i don't know how much we'll talk about the humanisation of this story because i have to say one of the joys about this program is that we've told real refugees because the humanities been taken out of the goals that we're talking about numbers on a spreadsheet show and i think all three historic sites we have to learn the history going back to. what happened how one was great one was created i think we have to reconnect and i think it's important to understand we talk about located in gone own over a decade more than fifty iraq impatience with the occupation in the west bank and more than seventy or one of the most brutal conflicts or age. in that context than the terrible things being done to individual people with individual dignity and and

the and the humanity that really has to be respected not programs about us we can actually begin to get under the skin of the humanity of the two of again because it relies on. the being profoundly affected by these visions to happen and to do just that chris i want to start with this tweet from abderrahim he says trunk decision to cut all aid to on iraq which serves five point four million palestinian refugees is meant to liquidate the palestinian refugee cause so to hear from someone who would be affected by that that liquidation as they call it is that a person we got a video coming from we actually received several video comments from young people who when to unrest schools in their youth and this is i've been carrying he's a translator and a writer who sent us this comment from the jabaliya refugee camp and north because i have a listen. i was born and raised in jabalya refugee camp which is only one kilometer square with over one hundred and twenty thousand people living in that small area

that area. schools were the only shelter that we take to keep to as we started the blade there have fun there even after we finish school we would go to the school to play there because in the if you can there is no place there's no space left for children so there is to play the see shock a real shock and it will increase our suffering. so how many for advocating here this is more than just about school this means actually a place of refuge for him can you relate to that absolutely and i would like to start by making it clear that i wouldn't be speaking on behalf of an organization or anyone besides myself beside me muhammad there fiji who grew up and i think you come southern of palestine. exactly as has been mentioned by became there if you

can is there or the whole life we have experienced schools when we talk about schools and education program. actually receives two thirds almost two thirds of the u.n. budget it's not just about scores those places have been used as shelters you are in conflict during military assaults is the places where people evacuate to. the mental health department the mental health counselors of those chords they provide the only almost only free hand mental health service for children. and they want to quick question a quick question or two but you went into we talk about. as if it was the beginning of the end of your horizon because frankly as we just heard from that clip from you now you know. where your horizon and actually when i look at cancer somebody looks lives outside gaza your horizons being shrunk. to how your whole political rights you deserve to live in a place which is under blockade which does the restrictions which doesn't end with

a fence just a kilometer or hundred meters away george has done you know the limits of your horizon should be far beyond under you know not come people in your position around the world young people to rise and sword or capitals and you know career is that of all sorts of different places in gaza yourself and i know you're not there now but also. your horizons are shrunken and that what you saw. into us knowing as you're speaking to me let me show you this picture you've also add guest as well this is you at school and let me just think i think you're down here holding a stick it tell us what's happening in this picture where are you what's happening . well i want to show my personal experience as an undergrad graduated student. in my life is not short time on it's lifelong interest also to send alice selected to represent palestine in an international human rights program supervised

health like it was soft and not the way this program has wasn't just ask me experience it was alive in one month i got to know about human rights new cultures new friends new knowledge. this experience has given me the life to dig a lot of school my life's on a boat of my future goals and much of that anyone has given me the chance also apply for an international scholarship called my class a scholarship to improve my english language skills my social responsibility on my leadership skills and engaging in this experience also left with a good to be a dissenting policy in an international aid program in iowa and now i write stories behind the numbers i don't happen even if i am today which is spoke in confidence social activist writing and it does of the students a great mixture that i'm proud to be an appealing sorry size student who can't have these experiences but can't engage in these opportunities because it's up to the

cutting of these funds so ana is going to really not such a beautiful and i have to say first that really illustrates the fact that i. can be sitting. on all the things you just heard in some of the tragedy. you know one of the government for. young women having opportunities in human rights in being people achieving methyl potential that seems to be the very government that limiting the restraint and financial caps on you know what a huge army there are people do not know how much was in who could really achieve screwed potential and indeed against all the old but how much more they could achieve is honorable in the terrible financial situation no chris i'm glad you raised that because i want to bring in this tweet from someone who's handle as this

is as they write i do believe iraq has been used by the international community to manage the occupation the u.n. has done very little to help end the israeli occupation this person says palestinians need a real. changed the way an ra is managed to provide sustainability and real protection from the occupation and so my men take this on for us it's a little bit of criticism here they're saying of the un in general but they're saying the issue here is that people are forgetting this is about the occupation this isn't just about one country removing its funding well it's absolutely different facts and could factors contributing to the crisis on touching back on what chris have mentioned the owner what is it that and the end goal for us and i wouldn't be leaving my family behind and coming here to the u.s. if the iraq or there was all i have in my life what scares me most is that where i started the thing i would like i'm proud of mentioning is that where i started with only one want to have ended i'm now within two of the most prestigious universities

in the u.s. and i'm lucky enough to be doing this program i started to from there if you can being the young small kid joining in the comps to use living in this small house i have received doses i have received important with how board the new generation will be received the same moment when i think about it i'm even more lucky than the new generations my times have been better than their times you know thinking about different factors yes absolutely. working in the humanitarian to have always been instructed to ignore politics to focus on humanitarian effectiveness how to deliver aid better how to focus and to material aid but the same time we can't ignore politics we can't ignore the fact that it's ok patient of you said as you said. but then again you and united nations relief and works agency how much can they do work related to politics i would love to get a focus let me put. my me just put this to you i want to show you will go off of

who is called. into and as mohamed as you are telling us there's so much more than just food aid all coupons there. as education as health that's building up of the economy as well and helping people with small businesses but look at this this is what the us was complaining about they were complaining about the millions that they constitute and look at the rest of the international community the e.u. is away behind germany u.k. sweden saudi arabia japan they were complaining that they were having to give all the money most of the money looking at that graph chris staring us in the face look let's be clear about this in the last reasons we heard the news about twenty minutes ration we have raised two hundred. million it was an unprecedentedly successful fundraising campaign million from saudi charities from people in the

u.a.e. we have gone out folks done exactly what we were asked to do by the americans find alternative donors we have done that we found two hundred million guess what do you think our programs are. they gave us all that money because they believe in us they know that we are one of the most. for all. three of the middle east they had a full confidence in us and i'd like also i'd like to hear also it as well as bob and think about the point that came in that to me before which is that politically the un and the international community have let down the people of gaza and the west bank and palestinian in jordan and syria and in lebanon appallingly. is the result of political failure we are here doing what we're doing because the political echelon of failed to resolve the problem that the refugees have to fail.

the underlying problem the blockade the occupation the dispossession of the seventy the palestinian these things have to be addressed i think that at the heart of that and that gets the heart of the dilemma that mohamed was pointing to that under a provide humanitarian assistance which is not a political or. i'd like to mention a point putting them that way since we're speaking numbers it's a true that the us has been the largest on off during the past few years for the for the world but it's also important to put that into the bigger picture of the us foreign aid budget is one percent of the federal budget which is going to fifty billion dollars the foreign budget that goes all over the world what goes to the owner what is only three hundred sixty million dollars which is it's zero point zero zero seven percent of the foreign but you're not even sure it's the it's the amount to have a look here at this tweet this isn't. had plenty of warning that this was going to happen chris. donald trump says we pay the palestinians hundreds of millions of

dollars all caps yelling this out a year and get no appreciation or respect. what kind of appreciation and respect you asked for but i would also. i would ask one question what was the largest foreign aid in the u.s. history goes through it goes in military aid to is rich ways the problem for the scene and refugees so paying four billion dollars a year to me while paying three hundred sixty million dollars and complaining about respect this is unfair going to pick up on what you said about professor i don't have a problem chris i just i want to bring this in because you mentioned perpetuating the problem and i wanted to raise what some of our community members are saying will do just that this is this is cousin who says three of my kids go to schools they provide good education if these schools close i can't afford to send them to private schools and public schools are already overcrowded some i here have three different shifts the consequences are catastrophic that's just one person another

person sent us a video comment saying that this is really more than just schools this is she's a graduate of the stomach university of missouri and this is what she told us. because my i'm going to be a student in only one for nine years do you good enough to teach me the meaning of the phone is what we saw important position as if he was and this is only zero point zero if you kishen on services but it's also fired into teaching and me the consensus to me because she comes to from time to time and some other times where students would spend a great time and in this case chance was also offers its services for a big number of employers hearing goes a certain look only students so we are so sorry for what's happening voice now and then what is one of us can continue to disagree for it's because also some events and hear about treatment and per provision of medical services and medical checkups things that people may not think about you are in medics medical school now what do

you make about as you mentioned before three point five million six people that go for on a list clinics to get medical care and after cutting response one people will be able to get their medical care. because of the lack of medication so for us as a dental office a dental specialist then still. a lot of medications need a lot of a lot of current expenses so offerings in its history to complete helping many other people's options that's called sell many tools will be able to offer so many people so yes this is going to be catastrophically. you could question you on you know you're a medical student you've got a career you've got a lot of head ahead of you whether because you'll future long do you think i mean you're doing the struggling what.

well after graduation i'm thinking child i think outside so includes on top and i must agree it ended on six i think only back to calcutta like feeding my knowledge and trying to help people here. well i'll go home. i'll get back there. so you know this is really tough some sort of you know i keep saying you know this is. how many palestinian kids education is a possible to dignity here we have the howard university the best. you know we have we have say she's going to graduate she's become a study or. something i mean you know here you are two people who share exactly what i'm talking about an education is possible and yet we have a government one of our major. excusable. did not in this house. let's. let's talk practicalities

i want to get to two residents of gaza who are wondering how are they going to money inch if there's so much less in the budget haven't listen to what they have to say. fifty supplies are stopped that means you destroy palestinian families because we are refugees we live off this un more than seventy or eighty percent depend on this coupon and there is no income for palestinians gazans are in permanent unemployment there is no work or life and when i work we all count on under a how can they cut the aid and deprive us those children who go to school how they buy notebooks pens bags and school outfits their parents can barely afford pencils some days they go to school without an allowance of even one shekel well. yeah. thanks thanks chris that's why we play them let me just say well. what

do you think might happen i mean you know those are the people who are being sanctioned by this policy you're talking about orphans you think talking about vulnerable women and children for the first time we're sanctioning the weakest amongst us history would remember and policy is they're reacting to that you know what they're doing out of this for this thing themselves and file this thing yes this was how. recently people attempted to do the door headquarter in gaza strip if life is going to be this way they don't want to enjoy life anymore they don't want to have like history will remember that people said themselves and file to make it easier for for politicians to make it. bearable for others would leaving this world if it's going to be this way it's going to be unfair to that extent refugees in the weakest among us that they can take initiative they can't implement solutions we don't refer to the weak to the disempowered to take action in such crisis which is why you have this from our hero. who says this is

a true task for the countries that support palestine if they will step up and fill in the deficit gap or fall through sara here has another part she says those involved with creating the environment in palestine should be responsible for the continued funding of unwrapped since a trumpet ministration strategy is about putting palestinians in a corner to fall under other western powers like the united kingdom to continue funding chris where does your hope lie for those who can pick up the slack and love the first tweet. and i love the clips which should be the context as well as it is the decontextualized those two women we're talking about and why the context in which they think that one of the problems with the discourse would trump decision and all that's going on around it is that we're losing sight of the conflicts between. talks about history it's going to be about history because here we have an attempt to brush out of history seventy years of what has happened the palestinians under the rug was great not you know the un
