a press parliament anti government campaigners protested. all of them in their. open talks about everything on tuesday but not the reality here in hungry everything is always about migration it's to fill her carians and they swallow it. true it's not a distortion the government has been trying to the last step by step i think because they want to hold on to power. the e.u. will issue hungry with a formal warning before deciding whether to strip it of its voting rights such a move would damage hungary's international reputation but this supporter says it could actually bolster leadership in the long term mr obama coming so be a winner of this procedure because he can establish a new platform vid in the european peoples party and can make new alliances in europe and through that it can increase his influence on the european domestic

more news after the straight stay with us. ugandan pop star turned politician now charged with treason but we don't build empowering people is the only way you can call it fun that name but you know the president. of uganda robert. bobby weiner talked to i'll just zero. hi i'm femi oke today and checking in on three stories that we're following very closely here on the stream a recent report by human rights watch finds horrific a piece of muslims in china and then how it confronts is moving running singly towards the east coast of the united states imo it could be i'll be looking for your comments on twitter and of course in our you tube shop first though a story unfolding right here in washington d.c. . trump administration will not keep the office open when the

palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel the united states supports a direct and robust peace process and we will not allow the i.c.c. or any other organization to constrain israel's right to self-defense. on monday the government of u.s. president donald trump announced the closure of the palestinian liberation organization or the p.l.o. mission in washington d.c. the decision is the latest in a whole series of steps taken by trump against palestinian leadership late last year the u.s. recognized as the capital of israel and earlier this month in announced it would stop funding the un agency for palestinian refugees that provides aid to more than five million people a palestinian authority spokesman described this latest move i'm going to quote him here as a declaration of war end of quote on the peace process i want to discuss all this and more from fairfax virginia moore and account for human rights lawyer an

assistant professor at george mason university welcome to the stream now in that clip of john bolton we heard his mention of the i.c.c. we explain the connection for our audience. absolutely the i.c.c. is the international criminal court in the us has been wary of any kind of international criminal jurisdiction over its military forces in the world since the i.c.c. came to into existence in two thousand and two and in fact the clinton administration was opposed to it and the bush administration entered into memorandums of understanding with multiple states in order to ensure that none of its service members would ever be prosecuted abroad or by the i.c.c. so there is a longstanding hostility towards this international mechanism now fast forward and the palestinians have filed a claim against israel in the international criminal court both for its settlement project in the west bank as well as its warfare on the gaza strip three large

scales offensives between two thousand and eight and two thousand and fourteen the us and israel try to blackmail the palestinian authority and tell them rescind your complaint or will withdraw all money from you the palestinians refused and now we see in john bolton's announcement not only targeting the p.l.o. but taking a direct target at the i.c.c. in order to protect itself and israel sitting basically setting itself up not just as the trumpet ministration verses the palestinians but literally the trumpet ministration verses the entire world the rule of law the international criminal legal system as we know it no i'm just wondering if these closing of the office emotions d.c. it's a metaphor for the relationship between the pain and the trump of ministration right now not even a deep metaphor not quite it it's actually lacks any kind of subtlety we should understand this on two levels what we're seeing is the shattering of the doors of

a diplomatic process that from the beginning has been a farcical peace process the austral accords better known as the declaration of principles that are signed in one nine hundred ninety three had a built in flaw from the beginning in that they never guarantee. palestinian sovereignty or state but instead created the facts on the ground that we know today which is the permanence of the settlement project which is the permanence of the occupation and palestinian participation in that has made it possible and given it more life so the shattering of the p.l.o. offices is a closure and you know obvious to the rest of the world that this fake process is now no longer you know nobody nobody is getting dressed to participate in this political theater anymore but the other part that we should be paying attention to is that what this represents of course is that the u.s. has never been an honest broker in the negotiations and that this is the u.s. is not just complicit but it's

a third party in this conflict and the international community never never. never for them it's never as i'm never ever ever ever and i'm a lawyer and i'm a lawyer and i take my word seriously so why why how can i say that with so much confidence if you go back since the one nine hundred sixty seven war in the context of the cold war the us decided in that moment that israel would be its most unique and beneficial ally to achieve its objectives throughout the middle east and has since then provided it with qualitative military edge to be able to defeat singularly or collectively all of it's all of the middle eastern states and any kind of military battle that's one and the second is protected israel from any kind of international legal accountability now fast forward to the present in the peace process itself the u.s. has made clear and aaron david miller who was part of the negotiations and an envoy

for the u.s. in this process has said explicitly that the u.s. has not been a broker and has been a lawyer for israel now going to the president all the trumpet ministration is doing is removing the been near removing any kind of sense that the u.s. is an honest broker and being really honest about the fact that it is there to ensure israel's interests and to ensure that the international community and international law is not part of resolving this conflict on those term good i'm glad you brought it to the present because we got this comment here on you tube from someone watching live this is just the who says this is no way towards peace that's for sure someone else on twitter echoing that sentiment says this would be another major mistake from the top administration apart from relocating the u.s. embassy to jerusalem it's a wrong decision for political security and peace reason so updating us to today and what this actually means for palestinians on the ground what's your answer there. how is the news have been enduring structural violence in the form of and

apart. as well as settler colonial removal on a daily basis with or without the peace process that is basically put in place in order to alleviate the conscience of the international community and to believe that this is really just the conflict between the palestinians and israel when in fact this is a geo political conflict where the us and israel are together reshaping the facts on the ground in order to create a new status quo where palestinians live under subjugation permanently we should not make the mistake of pointing to the trumpet ministration as being the final death now the us administration has played this role for over fifty years and we should hold the obama administration bush administration the clinton administration the president should ministration and so on and so forth accountable for these present day circumstances this should compel us to not just oppose what the us is doing to not just impose sanctions upon israel for practicing apartheid but to

internationalize the question of palestine once and for all and to take it out of the backwaters of bilateral negotiations where it facilitates where it facilitates the entrenchment of the status quo and making the subjugation of palestinians a permanent condition we're going to leave it on that excellent point of course the story is far from over so we look forward to having you back on the show from here a report from human rights watch about the treatment of turkic muslims in china some evidence of large scale repression and surveillance as part of a mass crackdown now different our community is in malaysia but want to cover the issue out of china. nice currently committing a human rights violation. by stripping and sending them to education can just if you are not using go are. just yes and it was an east end a race of heavy and not the crisis. yet

a much larger and in just skill. relation and. human rights watch report entitled eradicating ideological biases china's campaign oppression against muslims presents new evidence of the chinese government's massive arbitrary detention torture and increasingly pervasive controls on the daily life of more than thirteen million turkic muslims and estimated one million people are being held in prison camps with no access to legal counsel or due process here's one former detainees story muslim militant. islam and. muslim one kenyan then told to get it. right the evil would just like. so many given them over the. years and. it was an example. where i'm coming.

from washington d.c. sophie richardson is the china director at human rights watch and in london ryan sam is a historian of islam in china and india ryan and sophie thank you for joining us there's a tweet that i shared out a few hours ago to tell our audience that you are going to be on the show let me share it with you here hard to believe this but it's true china installing q all codes on we go muslim homes as part of massachusetts and crackdown and then you see what i mean by this writing can you explain how this works and why would china want to do this to members of their own communities. well the chinese concern about. the resistance and they're convinced that the reason that we girls are unhappy with chinese rule because they have wrong ideas and so they're engaged in

a project of. thought and of trying to transform into. more more of a chinese type of. culture so this requires building the privacy of people it requires keeping track of where people live and what they're up to and this you are clued at the door is one of a myriad of. features to. keep track of every individual member of a minority group. so if you want to share this we got from a she's not here as r.n. and she's the first of course that pitching this segment of the show she says i think the main issue for me is how the issue is being censored in the republic the people's republic of china having lived there this issue was not even spoken in public and actually i soon that was due to fear of persecution but eventually i realized it's due to them being unaware of it even happening so sophia forces from

court will mean that people are more aware what do you think is the biggest finding from this report. well there are a couple of different issues not least new evidence of her if it could be uses the fact that repression outside the camps is almost as bad as repression inside the camps there are international consequences for people who have family members outside china or people in the africa who are being terrorized by chinese nationals largely to try to get them to come back so to speak to you know the other person's point of a moment ago. people across china are allowed to know what the government wants them to know and the extent that they're given any information about young at all it tends to be on my phobic tend to be that community in very tokenistic terms and so you know there's there's not much.
