support from across the world and closer to home competence for peace is an israeli palestinian group that feels increasingly isolated in this country to me. i think the situation in israel in the last few years as the to be related to state to two we have to have support national international. support groups inside the israeli society that in the past were except and and respected today are being attacked and i'm here because. i think that you know i like the phrase you know none are free until we all are i think is something that i like to live by when the bulldozers do move in they'll be clearing the way for the expansion of illegal israeli settlements that will eventually cut through the occupied west bank several major european countries have tonight again asked israel not to go ahead with the demolitions referring particularly to the seventy
9:07 am
years the palestinian bedouins have called this area but the only official israeli reaction there's ever been since the supremes court ruling came down from defense minister avigdor lieberman and he said no one will prevent us exercising our sovereignty. al-jazeera. now palestinians in the u.s. have criticized the trumpet ministration for closing their diplomatic mission saying it further erodes any chance of a peace deal the palestine liberation organization officer acted as an unofficial embassy for the quarter of a million palestinians and the u.s. castro has more. the flag of palestine has waved above this brick building in washington d.c. for more than two decades a symbol of struggle controversy and for mohamed a weiss pride specially when you don't have anything to shill for your identity except this flag. the rest of. it is under occupation the rest of our identity
9:08 am
is that if you see here there and everywhere in the us that if a wise was born in a refugee camp in lebanon that's myself here my sister. my brother after moving to the us he became a businessman and a white house advisor who took part in the one nine hundred ninety five negotiations between israel and palestine we had hopes for peace but after getting closer to the peace process i realized there is no way no way at the time for a comprehensive peace agreement but there was progress like the strength and acceptance of the palestine liberation organization as the official representative of the palestinian people in the us there are about quarter million palestinians like me who live here we have business we have families we have things that we need documents to be attested by the author of the in order that's fair land best
9:09 am
certificated marriages a set the fits all these things while the palestine liberation organization is officially recognized by much of the international community it remains a pariah to the trump administration the order for it to now close its u.s. offices may be a calculation to pressure the palestinians politically but it's on a personal level that palestinian americans are counting the cost i believe that this is going to be temporary because political change is coming through the united states and once again december so will open up in the polls three in florida will fly over the pursuit but that outlook is uncertain polls of the american public show a widening partisan gap regarding middle east conflict with eighty percent of republicans sympathizing with israel trumps closure of the p.l.o. office plays to his base while palestinian americans pay the price. castro al-jazeera washington. if european and eritrea say they'll withdraw soldiers

deployed at their border to ease tensions earlier there were celebrations after the reopening of a joint border crossing for the first time since the two nations force a war twenty years ago the crossing is on the main road that links the capital's us and as ababa the conflict began in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight over a dispute in the same border area tens of thousands of people were killed. at least thirty two people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on a large crowd of protesters in afghanistan more than one hundred others were injured in the blast near jalalabad the capital of the province the protesters had gathered to demand the resignation of a local police commander just hours after a series of bombings in schools across jalalabad monger has seen a spate of isolate tax in recent months the taliban has denied involvement well michael semple is a professor at the george mitchell institute for global peace security and justice
9:11 am
at queen's university belfast and he has proposed ceasefire talks with the taliban dead in the water. from the the june cease fire i think from what you know ordinary taliban they are the ranks of the movement what they said when they came into town was that they want an end to this killing of muslims but the the leadership of the taliban movement took a very different view on it the leadership of the taliban movement still believes that they can win this war they were worried by the cease fire they thought that it could actually survived in the enthusiasm of the ranks for the fighting they rounded up as soon as possible and avoided entering a new cease fire for a deal curb on the taliban leadership is determined to fight on and is not interested in negotiating for now i think those who planned parliamentary elections which are jew in six weeks time this not anticipating this level of violence i think that there are major major risks around the elections i'm scared people
9:12 am
seriously concerned with afghanistan are probably now looking to see if there's any responsible way of suspending them for a few months to give a chance for both the security situation to improve and also for the election preparations to be completed to a satisfactory level i think if they go ahead with elections i'm afraid that is six weeks time we will be discussing the chaos precipitated by the elections. china's president xi jinping has met his russian counterpart vladimir putin and the best of all strong economic forum the three day summit brings together the latest all of russia china japan and south korea as well as five thousand delegates from sixty countries or a challenge has more fun. with a slight awkwardness of two leaders who probably don't spend much time in the kitchen sheeting playing hands flooding if newton conducted some pancake diplomacy in blood of awe struck the chinese president is here for the eastern economic forum
9:13 am
and his meeting with putin this year despite the presence of other asian leaders it's russia and china strengthening ties that are the bedrock of this event and with caviar and vodka the two presidents were happy to let the world know how close they've become we were constantly meeting this year for example in beijing in johannesburg and now here we are in the blood as fausto if we keep close contact with you it means we have good relations i am ready to strengthen these relations from now on including the exchange of ideas to close cooperation china has the largest delegation with almost a thousand people it is quite clear we have a really close cooperation we had eighty seven billion dollars of trade last year this year will almost certainly reach one hundred billion dollars the corporation makes sense the two eurasian giants are next door neighbors and china's hungry economy needs natural resources which russia has in abundance this growing relationship is about more than just the kind of business and energy deals on offer
9:14 am
here at the eastern economic forum it's about the threats that both russia and china feel a share in the modern world. while she jinping and putin were talking the heavy metal of russia's military was moving into place china's two it's been invited to take part in two thousand and eighteen russia's biggest war games since one thousand nine hundred one a sign of friendship and a messy. to one particular aggressor is the only way we can see continued. her smile between russia and china because all for the very assertive line of the united states. against both countries and in this regard to you can we can. say that trump is the major patter on all for russian chinese. closer relationship washington has imposed sanctions on russia times trade tariffs
9:15 am
on china each country is too independent minded to make a full alliance at all likely but they still want the us to know that if a regional crisis ever exploded into conflict with russia and china could present a united front door each islands how does it talk to you steven erlanger as chief diplomatic correspondent for the new york times and he says both russia and china are trying to project why this influence well there is an effort and it signals and. the relationship between russia and china. is serving union as the birthplace of communism and china as the sort of little brother that relationship is very much we're versed now very different conclusions governments drew about how to try to preserve communism both of them are struggling to assert themselves china a regional power and russia also as
9:16 am
a regional power in a way that their super powers but essentially only in really in. terms the united states and still the world's hyper power but there is an effort to send a message without. now finally this bulletin they were invented in japan with a complex alpha bit made texting cumbersome and in the past few years modi's have become part of the way many of us communicate now they're being used in art exhibitions and in the fight against malaria and the heywood explains from london. a picture can paint a thousand words happy thoughtful even horrified with warm tap there's a short cut to human emotion and emote and now making it into the art world at a new exhibition in london artist and twan khattala is exploring their impact on society a video loop of a conversation and silicone emerges plant to show how

a few words and symbols can change the way we talk think and react written language is sort of fixed but oral language changes over time is different means of transmission of a nation and emotions we don't know how they will look like in ten years the tax will read the same and so it's kind of interesting to think of it. and how we look in ten years more than five hundred sixty billion texts are reported to be sent worldwide every month we've been sending text messages to one another for more than twenty five years they have totally transformed the way we communicate but they've also been blamed for encouraging bad spelling and reducing emotion down to a simple and moji and darts has always been about emotion and expression none more so than at the victoria and albert museum in london among other highly politically

com of the problem and the headlines on al-jazeera the u.n. special envoy to syria has been holding talks with representatives from turkey iran and russia stefan de mistura is trying to persuade moscow and iran not to support a planned syrian government offensive to retake rebel held province meanwhile the u.n. secretary general says the attack could spark a humanitarian disaster. secretary general would an offensive it live but place which has such a large civilian population in your view amount to a crime i think what is important at the present moment is not to classify what was not yet happened used to make sure that it doesn't happen which means it is important that those specially the city get into. the process find a way in which it is possible to isolate terrorist groups and it is possible to create
9:20 am
a situation in which civilians will not be the price paid to solve the problem of evil. one and a half million people across three eastern u.s. states have been ordered to leave their homes as part of preparations for the worst storm in thirty years how can florence is building at the end in the atlantico and nearing category five status it's expected to make landfall in the next two days and north or south carolina brazil's jailed former presidents luisa last year nearly to silva has been replaced as the workers' party candidate in next month's presidential election the former mayor of san paulo fernanda had out will now represent the party in the vote there was bought from contesting because of a corruption conviction. palestinian activists are holding assistant to trying to prevent the demolition of a bedouin village and the occupied west bank as are all top court approve the destruction of cannot act my village last week it's expected the land will be used to expand israeli settlements at least thirty two people have been killed in

a suicide bomb attack on a large crowd of protesters and afghanistan more than a hundred others were injured in the blast near jalalabad the capital of longer have problems the protesters had gathered to demand the resignation of a local police commander. but those are the headlines on al-jazeera do stay with us inside stories coming up next thank you very much for watching. palestinian leaders vowed to continue efforts to bring israel to the international criminal court as the us that tends to sanction deport and close us palestine's mission in washington so that this reignite tension in the region and can do us then act as
9:22 am
a peace broker this isn't that story. hello and welcome to the program that hamid the u.s. government has announced it's closing to diplomatic mission of the palestinian liberation organization in washington national security advisor john bolton delivered didn't use during a speech on monday he also threatened to arrest and prosecute judges of the international criminal court should they proceed to prosecute american citizens or israel a list since have long sold just sits at the i.c.c. for the israeli occupation to trumpet ministration will not keep the office open when the palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel the united states will use any means necessary to protect
9:23 am
our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. chief palestinian negotiator saeb erekat has accused the trump administration of doing israel's bidding by allowing more illegal settlements and cutting desperately needed aid to palestinians here's some of what he had to say that romber obsession wants to dismantle the international order to ensure that it can stay above the laws and the scale of accountability if the us is that much against the international criminal court why did the us lead the security council in trying to bring prison time out of bashir of sudan to the international criminal what it support all the applications against african
9:24 am
leaders and the international community. i'm not going to speak of a double standard. i'm not going to go to the issue of racism i leave it to your thinking the u.s. is not only piling pressure on the p.l.o. but the actions of staking may also affect final status negotiations with israel let's take a look at the bolton became the first american official to refer to illegal israeli settlements as housing projects while u.s. has frozen twenty five million dollars in funding for palestinian hospitals last month it also cut funding to the u.n. agency that helps palestinian refugees and it also acts two hundred million dollars in aid to gaza and the occupied west bank and the p.l.o. says the us is no longer an owners broken talks after it moved its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem earlier this year.
9:25 am
so let's bring in our panel for today joining us in ramallah mostafa better hooty secretary general of the palestinian national initiative in west jerusalem alone yell former israeli diplomat he was also director general of the israeli foreign ministry and in washington josh an executive director of the arab institute washington d.c. a warm welcome to you all mostafa let me start with you are now we've seen is have also lost their voice in washington it's keeps on getting from bad to worse. we didn't lose anything i think the united states has lost its ability to be a mediator of it and the peace process has lost any ability to be. impartial and has shown the decisions of mr trump and this administration has shown that there is no difference whatsoever between israeli policy and this administration's policy on
9:26 am
the contrary i think his action against the p.l.o. office looks like they are receiving instructions from mr netanyahu the prime minister of israel and his own side a selection of this alliance between the most extreme most reactionary neo conservatives in the united states and israel is honest movement which is of course going to reflect in a very dangerous manna considering these actions what the united states administration did an effort to exercise pressure on us as palestinians to give up our rights to give up our rights for freedom for independence for our national rights and that will never happen we will never accept to surrender we will never accept the so called the deal of the century which is nothing but about the dating the palestinian rights including our rights in jerusalem our rights for an independent state our rights for having of palestinian refugees and we will never
9:27 am
surrender to this pressure ok. you're in washington i mean doesn't come as a surprise that this. was going to happen. not only to trump administration but several u.s. administrations before that have threatened to close down the mission now that it's happened how was the news perceived. you're right that this is not the first time i mean the issue of the low presence here has never been normalized the u.s. has allowed presence diplomatic presence way back it used to be under the auspices of the league of arab states then it became independent under you know palestinian entity however it was never recognized fully as a diplomatic entity and continued to be blackmailed recently definitely it hasn't been a surprise considering the calls and lobbying within congress to try to use it as
9:28 am
another leverage point to blackmail the palestinians taken on its own frankly it's just a symbolic gesture with a very limited political significance however when you fit it in with the events of the past nine months and the steps undertaken by the administration starting with jerusalem earlier in the year or late last year the refugee issue the hospitals inability to deal with the issue of two states or recognize that two state solution when you fitted together with all of that it becomes basically an obscene and other liberated form of blackmail to force the palestinians to accept an american dick that well i know i'm supposing that way you are the news was well received at least in some quarters but could you please explain to us what's the thinking behind it what's the benefit for israel al sure how drabs
9:29 am
one step after the other taken by the trump administration i mean we've seen this total support by prime minister netanyahu over president donald trump a lot of let's say. favors towards him but do you agree with most stuff that maybe trump is listening a bit too much to produce prime minister netanyahu. i can agree that he was listening to prime minister netanyahu when they move of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem there was concern definitely big joy in israel of the israeli government i'm not sure at all that cutting off their money. especially to hospitals in east jerusalem is causing joy in israel and i'm not sure at all i'm guessing because here it's only day nobody is reacting yet
9:30 am
officially but i'm not sure at all the closing of the mission in or singapore will cause a lot of joy because this is the last stick down there occurrence. are having over the last civilian stick they can come to the point of bombarding in ramallah but i don't think they will do this but the last meaningful diplomatic civilian stick that they had was closing their mission and this is in fact in their knowledge cement by washington that they give up on mediating and i think the israelis would not like this because for the israelis to have the possibility of the americans mediating hanging there was good because nobody is stepping in while down americans are working on the deal of the
9:31 am
century no infect the closing of the embassy says we will not work on the deal of the century you cannot work on mediating when you kick out the diploma of one of the sides forcing so this can bring in the europeans and russia us and try and i and others to to be more interested in peacemaking and i don't think is where you will like it. so i don't just do you actually from what you're saying i have a feeling that you're trying to explain that both sides have never avnet really thought through all the steps i'm talking about israel and washington in the sense that all these decisions were taken one after the other since the end of last year but no one has no one is thinking long term well i think there is a difference between israel. and the united states in jerusalem and washington
9:32 am
on the issue of their wish to have a d. i think israel doesn't want to deal does a world in agreement with the palestinians i really think the president trump and the people around him wanted a deal they wanted a very pro israeli deal but they sold the can they could impose such a deal and once they saw that they can look in polls. gradually giving up and i don't think this was the initial american player in their worst words all the time to close the mission in washington but i don't think they're really wished to do it but then they were pushed into a corner where they could look even night talks that they had to do it so most ever the palestinians have been put under a lot of pressure some would even say that they have been bullied just repeating
9:33 am
the words used by several senior palestinian officials. what's next for you guys and i mean ballot palestinian leaders have always said that israel is not interested in peace israel has said the opposite but is the palestinians who are praying the highest price what can you do what margin of maneuver do you have a distinct. it's very strange to say that to say that palestinians don't want peace i mean who in the palestinian people would like to stay under israeli military occupation which has become the longest occupation in modern history fifty one years which palestinian refugee would want to stay at if you see instead of having the ability and the possibility of coming back to the homeland he was born and or his father was born. it's just a big big propaganda mistake to claim that palestinians don't want peace the more
9:34 am
the people that want peace more than anybody else in this world are the palestinians who suffered as you said more than anybody else who are suffering through there from the theft of our land from the displacement from the ethnic cleansing which is taking place now and handle amara and other places who are suffering from having seven thousand the presenters in israeli jails but i think you israeli guest has just confirmed what i said he just confirmed that practically mr trump and his administration are receiving that is directions from mr netanyahu . yes tramp wanted the deal of the century to be in favor of israel and denying us the right even to negotiate about jerusalem the right even to talk about the issue of refugees but netanyahu doesn't want any deal i thought he does not want even any negotiations an attorney who wants to implement american deal on the ground practically and that is exactly what israel is doing in terms of
9:35 am
settlement building and so on so i think the whole issue about the deal of the century was nothing but advancing the israeli approach and then going as far as they could they knew exactly that no palestinian leader would ever accept surrendering the you lose a limb and they used all of that to kill any possibility for the peace process but one very important point here is that this action of the american side is happening exactly on the anniversary of the twenty fifth anniversary of the oslo agreement in my opinion the american closure of the p.l.o. of this is a declaration from israel and the united states that oslo is that and that is the end of the road the end of the road of wrong good event where palestinians agreed on things they should not have agreed about at least they should have demanded a full and complete cessation of. all settlement activities and recognition of the right of the palestinians to have a state of their own this did not happen now we are at the end of that road and we
9:36 am
need to choose a different and tentative road and we can do it nobody can blackmail us to surrender and give up our rights this is not going to happen and then my opinion this american position to flex and isolation of american diplomacy look the united states is in trouble to deal with canada in trouble to deal with russia with china with the europeans with the united nations with international law and now they want even to have trouble with the international criminal court just because the international criminal court might criticize israel for the crimes it has committed well kelly we were going to get back to the also accords in a few minutes but i just wanted to ask ali i mean we have been talking about this ultimate deal for quite a while president trump certainly repeated it more than once but no one knows the details maybe a few officials in washington and in israel but apart from that very little has
9:37 am
leaked so was there really an ultimate deal in your view or was the trump administration cobbling together something as it went along because it's very difficult to understand what's the aim of all of this. technically officially there is no such thing as the ultimate deal frankly it's a figment of someone's imagination the white house they have been talking about it even before they arrived at the white house if you remember during the campaign they began to talk about ultimate deal for peace in the middle east expressed as a candidate his desire to work out and to mediate however in practical terms when you look at washington for those of us who live here and who are familiar with previous negotiations. in. the past four decades there is always
9:38 am
a team that's put together whether at the white house or at the state department particularly at the state department that works for years and preparation for such talks no such team has been put together other than two or three people that have been basically managing a rehash of ideas that they inherited from not i wouldn't even say from israel but inherit or the netanyahu government they inherited from the most radical elements elements in israel going back to what alone said i think i understand where he's coming from there is a discrepancy between the intentions of washington and the intentions of the netanyahu government netanyahu doesn't want peace but at least this administration has talked about the possibility but in practical terms nothing has happened in practical terms that was in practical terms it was ideas that do not meet the
9:39 am
minimum requirements the minimum aspirations of the palestinian people whether it's a two state solution whether it's the end of occupation this administration and spite of it's the clear. objective of one thing to do. and lasting peace as it did yesterday for god's sake the statement yesterday announcing the closure of the office by the state department declared that this is not a retreat i'm quoting this is not a retreat by this administration from its commitment to comprehensive and lasting peace if if that's not a retreat i don't know what it would be it is well going back to that statement by the national security advisor john bolton yesterday on monday. it was quite clear that this asian to close down the p.l.o. mission at this particular point was somehow linked to the steps taken by the
9:40 am
palestinians at the international criminal court and they hague now alone could you explain to us why is israel so keen on shielding itself from the i.c.c. when at the same time it considers its never done anything wrong. first it's an ideal level and i think today and with thinking about the closure of the mission it's really the nine eleven of the peace process it's the end of the peace process and it was not done on the all slow day that the thirteenth of september but it was done on the eleventh of september and i don't know if you intentionally they chose the nine eleven but it so it so happened regarding the deal of the century before i come to the i.c.c. . it is unbelievable that. unexperienced
9:41 am
president in diplomatic at first took three people all jewish totally unexperienced in diplomatic affairs and asked them to do the deal of the century i think thing tension was and like in business to give them a did they cannot refuse with their rifle a head to toe with them and i think only gradually this team and the president understood that the palestinians are not on their own in this world and in order to have a deal you have to talk with them and their moment you could not bring them to that table the whole thing collapsed so desperate that you can go all torture the palestinians and they will come to the table this was the big mistake lot of they
9:42 am
didn't want to make something they didn't know how to do it then they were totally ignorant when it comes to middle eastern diplomacy. regarding i.c.c. i think. this is an excuse i think the issue of the palestinians. claims it to i.c.c. is look what brought about the closure of them the sea and the financial punishments it's all the fact that the board must was. courageous enough i would say the word washington to say no and then americans like children they were insulted the double muzza who is nothing who doesn't have a state who doesn't have an equally well doesn't have an army is saying mil to the
9:43 am
only superpower in the world i think this was the only effect or and they behaved as insulted children using one state after the other until they finish this and let's see what will happen now i don't think the the problems the united states as united states is having with the i.c.c. is another matter but i think the fact that the palestinians are approaching international legal board this is is happening all the time i don't think this was the reason for closing the mission well and the palestinian leadership that's saying it happened could kenya with its bidding with several international organizations now must step up briefly we're reaching the end of the show i mean also data something you hear a lot in the streets of ramallah or anywhere you go in the occupied west bank and gaza and some people would tell you it is a good thing now if the u.s.
9:44 am
is not anymore an honest broker. is it now maybe the silver lining and golden opportunity for the palestinians to rethink their whole approach on how to end the occupation to bring in more people or to do it completely different scrap this and start again. actually it's not only a golden opportunity it's a duty it's our duty to to create and use an alternative strategy using popular nonviolent resistance as we do today in the phenomena and in many other places using the boycott divestment sanctions in the same manner that it was used against the apartheid system in south africa especially that israel has created a much worse of today and using the international arena and international law to to to besiege this israeli occupation and the systems of the tide and to stop waiting for the united states to provide a solution but i want just to say one point about the deal of the century them in
9:45 am
gold was to have palestinians sit at a table while their issues are liquidated like you lose a limb this is it's a threat and while israel would normalize relationship with the arab countries that's what we palestinians courageously obstructed and that so i mr trump is mad it's not just a childish behavior it's because we failed them we stopped their plan to normalize relations with israel at our expense at think i'm going to bring in holly but we have less than a minute left so mustapha says the deal was basically jeopardize do you do you do you agree with him that it all backfired in the face of the trump administration and what options are they available now or are they any. i do agree that the deal has collapsed and basically this is the reason for this vengeful attitude on the part of staff at the white house against the palestinians
