expected to come the storm surge a storm surge of up to the finale this much is six hours of rain but the other big chunks of this really worry for us is that how to keep parts isn't doing what hurricanes normally do it sort of going in london losing power it's hovering over this area and getting wider and bigger it could stay over these posts lines the chief days bringing with people like storm center and all the rain we've already had also gone thousand people already without power there have been about one hundred fifty rescues because some people that choose to ride the storm out they are essentially now on the road on the warning from the government both carolina is this is far from over. i mean most super typhoon monk is gathering strength near the northern philippines winds gusting to three hundred twenty five kilometers an hour expected on friday night thousands of people on the largest island of luzon have already moved from their homes here is jamila on joke of the more from

and the dream house was sold what was the home worth by then three thirty you bought it at seventy seventy thousand dollars and it was worth less than yes the family wound up nearly broke with their credit ruined i would get her for three years i know this area of california riverside county was one of the hardest hit during the housing collapse and the recession it had the third highest rate of home foreclosures in the entire us. fabian casarez his organization helps low income people with home ownership it was chaos here we were ground zero the market was just you know upside down here it was it was it was chaos it was total chaos and you know it took years to get out of that and i was there and i still did say that we're still in the nikken orse struggle to get back on their feet my mom was the one who took it the hardest she went into depression

you know my dad was just broken into he was like you know i can't believe this happened it was gloria nikken or suffered a series of strokes and heart attacks and earlier this year may nardo nick and nora was diagnosed with colon cancer he's had surgery and has to wear a portable chemotherapy pump but he continues to work every day the nikken or so of saved some money and are now in the process of buying a modest house nearby a step toward security after a decade again robert oulds al-jazeera parents california and we'll continue our coverage marking ten years since the global financial financial crisis began on saturday on lawrence lee in ten years all of the financial crash the german economy continues to go from strength to strength but what cost to other european countries of course right now argentina is in the grip of a fresh economic crisis with soaring prices and inflation and to match it

a sinking tar and sea and the stories about reports now from chucko in northern argentina it is the indigenous communities who are some of the was defected. alexandra struggling to recover from her son's death last week she belongs to the indigenous community in chuckle one of argentina's poorest provinces. he added he was a good boy he was always smiling always playing he did not deserve what happened to him we are good people we work in what we can and do not have much but we are on asked my son would never steal a looter supermarket he was a good student. if my in was thirteen years old he was going to meet his mother in a nearby neighborhood when a group of people allegedly trying to rob a supermarket. in the killed a foreigner his mind was full. attention has been on the rice in argentina as food prices have increased because of the financial crisis. coming in are still enough

to my says the incident in science pena is an example of the difficulties indigenous communities face every day though i don't know who i know but look at us and say those dot disgusting indians from the north a useless and come to steal but that's not what happened argentina's government gives cash handouts through a card scheme to help poor families silenus says on this occasion the card was withheld by the shop owner and those who went to the supermarket wanted it back. what happened is that you leave your card at the supermarket because we can only buy the basics so they kicked it as a guarantee to make sure we pay the problem is we never know what we are being charged and he keeps on mocking the prices up and that's a big problem when he defects those who come barely make enough to survive indigenous communities in northern argentina have historically been neglected by the state they're suffering from high levels of undernourishment. basic services

this is the place that members of this community get their water from on that's why in times of economic crisis very desperate need of help. we went to talk to the owner of the shop where the shooting happened he denied any wrongdoing. and he's having repercussions on the prices because of the devaluation so it's confusing for us too so we try to catch up to those who came here wanted to rob us and had no excuse. but the communities insist that is not the case the economic crisis is affecting the poor in every possible way and while the government tries to contain the impact for some it is already too late. i didn't tina. the headlines for you here on al-jazeera u.s.

a hurricane in america a super typhoon in the philippines the signs of climate change everywhere wildfires last longer. and more intense negotiations lengthy droughns extremes are increasingly common what can be done this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program. much of the world's attention this week has been on two powerful storms hurricane florence in the united states and super typhoon in the philippines what were once bad forces of nature becoming almost regular events it's further evidence of climate change and that's our ability to do something about it is now doing we begin with this report from california what a major conference on climate change is currently underway it's a state that has seen more than his share of extremes his robe reynolds. more intense fires more devastating droughts deadly heat waves with tens of thousands of premature deaths a rising ocean and disastrous floods that's the future california faces due to manmade global warming over the next century according to

a major new state climate change assessment university of california scientist stephanie penn's cell helped review the findings the future seems dire point on to anything the assessment says heat waves and polluted air could cause up to eleven thousand deaths annually by mid century the pain of climate change will be felt most acutely by vulnerable poor and marginalized people the poor are going to be hit by the apocalyptic picher like the poor are always hit by any of apocalypse harder and worse aging infrastructure like this major dam that nearly failed last year will be heavily stressed by heavier rains and flooding associated with the changing climate california is already dealing with the biggest most deadly outbreak of wildfires in state history but the assessment says the area burned by such conflagrations will increase seventy seven percent by the turn of the century

and two thirds of california's famous beaches could completely disappear by then devoured by the pacific rising nearly three meters above its current level in response to these dire warnings about climate change california's legislature and its governor of instituted a new law that would phase out the use of all fossil fuels to generate the state's electricity. the laws require california to rely on renewable sources like solar and wind power for sixty percent of its energy by twenty thirty and for using only carbon free sources including nuclear power by twenty forty five it's not going to be easy and it will not be immediate but it must be done california is committed to doing whatever is necessary to meet the existential threat of climate change but with president donald trump's repudiation of the paris climate accord and his

efforts to increase coal mining and relaxed standards for fuel efficient vehicles california is taking the lead hoping other states and cities will help it stays off a fiery and foreboding future robert oulds al-jazeera los angeles. two thousand and eighteen has seen extreme weather patterns across the globe scientists are trying to find explanations for these new phenomena europe has just gone through a summer of record heat that saw wildfires break out above the arctic circle most of the fires were in sweden which experienced its worst drought in seventy four years firefighters in california battles more than six thousand wildfires that burned one million acres of land experts say the u.s. wildfire season is now eighty seven days longer than it was thirty years ago and record rainfall in japan triggered landslides that smashed homes and forced

evacuations in july that was followed by two weeks of severe heat more than three hundred people in japan dying to due to extreme weather related incidences. let's bring in our panel from asheville north carolina in the path of the hurricane florence andrew jones the co-founder and director of climate interactive from boulder colorado given term berth senior scientist at the national center for atmospheric research and from puts them in germany stiffen ranched or chairman of the earth impact analysis research demain of the boat institute for climate impact research welcome to you all andrew are we talking here about in normal storms season or there's more to it. it is just an enormous season

here in north carolina and it's fascinating how we created some of this ourselves there scientists like professor drum stuart have been predicting sea level rise on the north carolina coast for a long time but local politicians passed a law in two thousand and twelve saying that they could not include those forecasts in real estate development more houses were and now those houses are being hit by hurricane florence and i'm getting texts because we open up i open up a couple rooms in my house and people are coming in flame the storm here to the mountains of north carolina where i am further inland it is quite a year that we created somewhat kevin now we have florence battering kalina as you have the man coats in the philippines unprecedented waves of heat in the european. continent we enter the age of extreme

weather is now so the climate change faculty at the global warming that exists. one climate change is exacerbated more of these events so there's a tremendous amount to where it really will be sufficient for one year to the next that is largely natural but when they occur they're more screen than they used to be this is ranges from. the wildfires to these years from songs stuff and there's this interesting study by climate modeling kevin weight of the stony brook university new york with say that the florence was bigger than it would be how does occur to you know where in a world where those no human caused warming is this the case is an indication that this is because it's a human induced phenomenon. well this is what is called an attribution study and

that compares predictions of how the storm develops in the world as it is today with elevated greenhouse gas level it's and within a second iran a prediction without the elevated greenhouse gas levels in order to isolate the effect of climate change and indeed this study found that the storm was likely bigger than it would have been without global warming and that actually conforms to and trend towards a bigger storms. i mean let's start with the hurricane florence which is seems to be unique in a way or another because of its slowing pace these will be hovering above cattle liners for almost thirty six hours is this something bad of what impact we've on the areas affected in general yeah much like what we just heard about that stony brook study the forecast was for fifty percent more rainfall due to the effect

of climate change so yes we are seeing a slower storm it seems like it's much more like hurricane hardy which a year ago dumps so much rain for so many days on houston so what we're seeing here even in the mountains is more people who are just getting rained out and flooded out and in this is no surprise we've had the since one nine hundred eighty we've had a doubling of the frequency of flooding events and now we're actually seeing that here in north carolina firsthand missa term both we've been talking over the last few months on this particular show about the climate change the changing patterns world wind but just to try to further understand this phenomena can we say this particular moment that we have. gone through the tipping point and that the pattern now is absolutely definitely irreversible or well climate change is really

with us i think it's a greatly underestimated by many many people by a number of politicians in particular and it's also underestimated in terms of its impact in terms of the economy by the. only. people who deal with all of the finances and so on. you know the cost of the storms last year was something like three hundred billion dollars you know the general estimate i think you see in the u.s. the cost of climate change is certainly tens of billions of dollars every year and and so it behooves us to do something about it it's actually economic to do that mr dobbs i mean we are in the domain of science but still i feel like the lines here blur this is one of the most politicized issues people say it's not true or

the other say no this is just advanced by the left is to try to portray their own agenda what do you think should be done by the scientists community and by the policymakers worldwide to try to a clearest slowdown the climate change. well it's it is an unfortunate truth that a lot of people that don't want to face reality and they deny it or close their eyes to it that won't solve the problem though we have known about this problem for more than half a century in nine hundred sixty five there was the first official government report to the then united states president lyndon b. johnson about the impending global warming due to rising greenhouse gases and that basically already predicted all the things that are happening like melting ice sheets and sea level rise and because we have lost so much time debating and

debating whether this is an urgent problem or not it has just simply become more and more urgent and now we're in the middle of a crisis and we have to really hit the brakes on global emissions very hard if we want to stop global warming as was agreed in paris in the paris agreement in two thousand and fifteen we'll talk later about the paris agreement mr jones the i.p.c.c. which is the intergovernmental panel on climate change predicts an ing incredible rise in global temperature over the next century which begs the question what should be the next step to be taken by the international community says this is a pattern that we have to deal with you know well said and i like to use this to address stress gene what you said about how we have passed a tipping point the answer is no we still are in this mode where we both need to manage the unavoidable. we're seeing

hurricanes we need to manage what is here manage the unavoidable but we also can avoid so much that is unmanageable well into the future and that's what is the international bodies need to do we need to stop burning coal oil and gas peak investment in infrastructure in coal oil and gas by two thousand and twenty invest in energy efficiency less methane let's h.f. season f. gases more electrification of vehicles. all of these things across the board can be done and frankly the whole human after policy process pulled together the paris agreement is set up to do that we just need to do much more of it much more aggressively so that we don't create future mccain florence's kevin if there is still wiggle room to disarm think to fix the situation but then again when you look at the vital signs of the planet the carbon emissions global temperature of the arctic ice minimum and the ice sheets on the sea level they're not good at all that

indicative of a cataclysmic transformation yet to happen so how can we handle this situation in particular. well in addition to the need to address the underlying cause of the fall now there's to say cut down on the mission the tanakh sun and other greenhouse gases. and the see if there are effects on the climate we have to recognize that climate change is already with us and this means we have to adapt to the plan for the climate change that's already with us this means building resilient sea off areas khans. the param well the consequences of what we are already on have to deal with and this is one of the things which is. very apparent is not happening anything like enough it was strongly evident last year for instance and he's in the threats for merkins in houston throughout the

caribbean and in florida. where rico has been very clear for a number of years and it was appalling to me the lack of preparation the lack of. dashon and resiliency with regard to things like electrical systems and flooding and so on we're seeing that again in north carolina here you know two years ago harkin matthieu went through the same area and they had more than ten inches of rain over sensitive areas and those flooding and still they have not got the capability of dealing with this in a reasonable fashion stephon don't you think that the science scientists community itself should dream vent itself in a whale another to try to convince people give you an example you have been saying for quite some time that they feel for him feel industry may need to should change but do you think that they are ready to settle that industry for the sake of the

cleanup planet on to head trying to find out a different approach to try to convince people that it's about time to change. well i don't think it can be a blamed on the scientific community because the scientific community has really done its job informing the people informing the policymaker as we have this intergovernmental panel on climate change that issues the regular reports and yes they could be more readable and accessible but basically the affects have been for a very long time and scientists have very clearly communicated those and so i think it is very clear if we want to fulfill the paris agreement and stay below well below two degrees then we have to reach zero global emissions around the middle of this century and time is really running out and i would say it's not just the international organizations it's now the national governments every single

national government has to look how it's going to reach the it's part of the goal of the paris agreement and that includes my government in germany we are not on track either on. speaking of raising awareness go ahead go ahead. about scientific methods my colleague at mit professor john sturman says research shows that showing people research doesn't work if done any research shows that surely people research does that work so what we're experimenting with and what we think is necessary and what does work is giving people the experiences such as games such as interactive simulation experiences we've developed them on adaptation but also one called world climate played by fifty thousand people around the world where they actually live the paris agreement and we find that eighty one percent of people who go through the game even those who are in against free market

regulation. are more committed to action so because scientists need to find different ways to get engaged people on their own terms bring in a motion and heart and not just repeat we can do this if we change i said i see your point kevin don't you find it baffling that in a desolate area and the deserts in africa people believe in climate change when you go to places like the united states of america has one of the most advanced societies in the world despite the body de tat this by the most sophisticated satellite imagery that you get from nasa and other circles authorities still are in denial about climate change this relates of course to vested interests very much so and. huge amounts of funding millions of dollars on the fossil fuel industry particularly designed to distort the pictures and undermine

messages from scientists that this is a real problem and we need to plan for and we need to deal with what we've already got. and there are some people very high levels in the government in the united states who just don't have any regard for the facts whatsoever you know really it's really just uncertain and you know it's hard to make progress when those funds are . stephan it has been widely said that they paris agreement could be the best way out to stop the clock from ticking down towards doomsday this talk a little bit about some of the guidelines of the paris agreement first reducing the carbon emissions as soon as possible do you think that that's possible when you don't have any binding legally binding resolution that puts more pressure on countries to follow suit. well it is a binding agreement it's just that there are no sanctions if you don't actually

fulfill your obligations but it is actually very difficult because we don't have a world government we still are at the stage where the world is composed of a large number of nation states almost two hundred of them and if you try to install a top down agreement where there are sanctions and governments are forced to certain emissions reductions then we simply would not get an agreement because there are always some especially countries said to see themselves as superpowers not going to submit to. any sanctions presented by the international community or some kind of international body and so i think unfortunately maybe but it's the only way that it can work is the way the paris agreement works in that there are these voluntary commitments by all of the individual nations and then there has to be just some kind of political pressure. for. all the countries to actually on of

their commitments about the political process in particular. how is it possible to maintain global warming below two degrees celsius it practical terms in very practical terms oh and by the way the agreement we do the calculations instead of heading to four point two we're headed about three point three degrees if all countries follow those actions so what we see is that we need to take actions that will take us from three point three down to two and just yesterday several days ago i was in san francisco gov we brown has pulled together the global collection of climate action summit with sub national actions so he has all around the world people who are you know mayors and heads of states and cities and corporations. i actually had to leave early because of hurricane florence it was a lot of people did as well what needs to happen is action at those levels and what

we're finding at those levels is that we're cities and corporations are saving money with clean energy and energy efficiency communities are doing what we call multi solving capturing the benefits say of cleaner air less coal helps the climate but less coal really helps respiratory disease and asthma or kids in school productivity we get to take advantage of the short term benefits and do all the things that are needed at that subnational actions and what that would force peaking coal oil gas before twenty twenty five seen on the order of six to eight percent a year to what several people have mention here by now by twenty fifth ok kevin but at the same time when the most influential nation on earth the united states of america from the paris agreement to send a bad message for you the science science science community and for everyone who is

winning despite all the challenges he faces to try to shift towards clean energy yes some of the i think it could be a need a transformation if there is a real feist's on carbon so we need to be compromised the economy and but a lot of this these incentives have to occur probably at the governmental level and not here to pass all of the nations when once this occurs and that could occur quite not that we in the private sector will very quickly be on board it has to be implemented in the light weighted in gradual fashion not but this is not going to happen with the current government the let me not states it is secondly as far as the merits agreement is the presence of those green fund in which the the developed countries are supposed to contribute fung. you know what to all other countries. when i say we're not one to not make the same mistakes of our countries by going

down the. hall or what i say this is going to be my last i want to say. you know look who is. this is going to be my last questions to find do you think it's about time for us to try to think about alternatives instead of quick fixes like moving populations towards elana rebuilding the infrastructure because when you read the literature it says that we are into what looks like a new era. well i think we already know much other solutions we just have to implement them so we don't have to think about two new solutions although obviously it helps to improve them but we know we can go one hundred percent renewable energy in the next decade if only we want to if there's a political will to do that and i think that is still the main thing that is lacking and of course in terms of adaptation i think people will either

move away from some vulnerable coastal areas or they will be forced out in some flooding disaster and on that particular positive note our program comes on and andrew jones kevin trenberth stefan rushed off thank you very much indeed i'm looking forward to seeing you in the near future to continue our conversation about climate change and thank you too for watching you can see the program again and its time by visiting our website dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com for was last a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is a j inside story for me. and the whole team here by phone or.

what makes this moment just give you a win if it bothers you so you need. we haven't seen the president this unpredictable freedom of speech is valid why don't suppose that is a perfect formula for authoritarianism in tyranny or any of the lights are on and there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight up here is the two state solution now dead up front for italians on al-jazeera overthrow and exiled they appoint again saying it will all this race in which he knew an intimate film about the struggle of the elected leader of madagascar to return to his country and reinstate his presidency he knows that the truest rich spot and we know today

think this issue is all the along with the interesting case return of a president on al-jazeera. now. this is al jazeera. hello once again from doha everyone i'm come on santa maria and this is the news hour from al-jazeera pleading guilty don't transform a campaign manager admits conspiracy to obstruct justice and pull manifold also agrees to cooperate with the miller investigation also three people protesting in

his client accepted the deal. about forty six. one day his family was able to remain safe and live a good life is accepting responsibility and this is for conduct that dates back many years and everybody should remember that so thank you everyone. for a check in with things from washington d.c. we'll start with the simple question paddy how big is this this is huge i don't think that i can overstate just what a massive development this is in the special counsel robert miller's investigation and let's not forget he's looking into the possibility that there was collusion between the trunk campaign and the russian government paul metaphor is a key link here because part of the reason he was in trouble in the first place was because of his work that was undeclared for the pro russian ukrainian government

and russian oligarchs so he has the connection to russia already and we know he has a connection to president trump because he actually was his campaign chairman for a very critical months in the campaign now as part of this agreement he's agreed to turn over documents tell moeller anything and everything he wants to know and also testify in hearings now this could impact more than just the president and let's not forget you don't take a plea don't give a plea deal if you're a prosecutor and you've already got a conviction that's going to land him in prison for as much as a decade you don't give him that unless he can give you something bigger that's just how this works so metaphor had said he was going to flip he was going to stay strong he has changed his mind today and this is a huge development reaction from the administration patty how are they trying to spin this. you know i keep refreshing twitter because this is so unlike the present in the united states he was really quick to jump on twitter and go before the cameras when paul metaphor was convicted in his virginia trial and say it's

a shame this is something he did before my campaign he's a good man and tweeted out that he was brave for not flip even telling stories just to get a better deal but his twitter account so far it's been pretty quiet the senate press secretary sarah sanders came out and said this has nothing to do with the campaign has nothing to do with the president's victorious election in twenty sixteen not quite sure why the victorious was thrown in there but we don't know that just like the lawyer saying that this happened long before metaphor you know this these crimes were wrong in the past that's not actually the case if you read the superseding indictment it shows that it was two thousand and six to two thousand and sixteen twenty sixteen is when he was working for the trump campaign and let's not forget also man a fort was in that key meeting john jr trumps son and his son in law admitted that they went to a meeting offered by a criminal backlog here because they said she had dirt on hillary clinton paul man if it was in that meeting so john jr later came out and said they didn't have any

we was nothing it was a waste of time jerry kirschner said the same thing now paul metaphor is going to sit down and tell the process the special counsel if that's true so this is a huge development not just as relates to president donald trump but every single person in his inner circle how do you how haynes in washington d.c. thank you for that paddy we've also got sean taylor with us deputy editor of the congressional quarterly magazine show nice to have you with us i'll ask you the same question i asked patty how big a deal is this. this is a huge deal this is by far the biggest catch for robert muller who has had a number of victories already a number of convictions in his investigation into russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen election. man afore was donald trump's campaign manager and getting his cooperation means only one thing that robert muller is going after the president of the united states it's all about the way robot mode does this isn't it

everything seems very controlled very purposeful there are no leaks that come out either there is. it might seem that there's not a lot going on but imagine these just building and building what looks like a stronger case you're right it this has been extremely methodical and he has brought cases that have nothing to do with collusion by the russians in the two thousand and sixteen campaign but it all seems to be building towards getting cooperation from key officials people who are involved in donald trump's campaign to go after the president of the united states and that has never been more clear than today is there any way for president trying to wriggle out of this he tries to sort of say oh man a fault was barely with me for you know any a short period of time and none of this is related that's what sarah huckabee sanders is saying today as well none of it's related to the president does any of that hold any water with you. well there is still

a lot of answered questions here we haven't seen robert muller's final case what case is he going to make and until we see that we've won't know how it will play in the political sphere impeachment is a political process robert muller if he brings a case that leads people to talk about impeachment there are going to have to be republicans in congress who vote to remove the president of the united states we're not we're definitely not there yet republicans in congress have been overwhelmingly supportive of the president there is another question about whether muller could indict the president of the united states but the legal thinking on that seems to say no he may try but if that happens it's going to be a legal fight do you think any of this is really affecting the american electorate you know you just talked about the amount of support which donald trump has had from republicans in congress he's got plenty of support out in the united states as well and i'm wondering if any of this is really making

a dent in that well the immediate danger for donald trump is the midterm election which is now a month and a half away and we're unlikely to see a case from robert muller before that election day but certainly this string of convictions this agreement by donald trump's former campaign manager to cooperate with the special counsel is is making an impact it's having an effect on the electorate is thinking it's motivating democrats and it's demotivating republicans and it's leading towards what the polls are showing which seems to be a democratic wave election shown zeller in washington pleasure talking to you thank you for your time. moving to other news and three palestinians have been killed by israeli fire on the gaza border fence with israel one of them was a fourteen year old boy the palestinian ministry of health says dozens of people were injured as well these protests to be going on for more than five months now

every friday people demanding their right to return to their homes and their families were expelled from seventy years ago spoke to diana bush a little bit earlier a human rights lawyer and former adviser to the palestinian authority he says the fact palestinians are risking their lives to protest shows how desperate they feel for the past five and a half months twenty five separate fridays palestinians have been going towards the wards where the electrified fence is in order to simply demand one thing that they be given their freedom and that they be allowed to return and what israel has deliberately done is gotten them down to the mere fact that the protests there you think it's a call to people conscience to say why is it that two million people have been forced to live in a situation in gaza that the israelis have imposed upon them people are caged in unable to leave unable to have the basic elements of of of freedom and of dignity

all because israel continues to impose a brutal siege on the israeli soldiers have also closed roads close to a bedouin village which is due to be demolished and army bulldozer was escorted to the village to block the roads with mounds of earth israeli government plans to build more illegal settlements in the occupied bank despite west bank despite the protests to stop the destruction and scuffles broke out as well as palestinian residents and supporters trying to save the village of. and the palestinian president has slammed recent comments from jarred cushion one of donald trump's top aides kush no will so son in law of the u.s. president has been quoted in the new york times saying palestinian leaders quote deserve to lose the vilifying the u.s. administration the palestinian presidential spokesman said his comments showed ignorance cushion his comments come on the heels of trump's decision of course to stop funding for the fund set up to help palestinians really how gets in washington with a little more of the most of thinking as well can be they were closing down the p.l.o. office in washington a series of events which will does this just reflect u.s.

policy no put the squeeze on the palestinians. indeed that certainly appears to be the case cushion or in that new york times interview essentially defending the hard line tactics of the trumpet ministration a whole string of them not just the cutting back of aid as you mentioned the closing of the p.l.o. office here in washington just a couple of days ago three days ago i believe and of course the most symbolic of them all in many respects would be the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem despite the sort of string of what many palestinians see as punitive actions essentially side taking if you will on the part of the united states which insists it's still an honest broker. in this interview is essentially saying what we've done is not taking a side we're just stripping away what he called false realities but there is a former u.s. ambassador to israel who fact he was the u.s.

ambassador to israel under george w. bush president george w. bush who says these tactics the truck administration is taking that jared kushner is defending simply won't work. i think what cushions comments reveal is a basic ignorance about how to negotiate a complex deal he thinks as he said in the article that this is another real estate venture and maybe this kind of activity works in real estate but it's not going to work here when you have a party that has independent decision making on the part of the palestinians just as the israelis do that party is doesn't see any benefits and only is seeing the pain being inflicted by u.s. policy but jerry kushner for his part in this article is defending once again the tactics of the.
