al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from the headquarters in. coming up in the next sixty minutes in search of agreement on how to deal with syria of lattimer putin says there are complicated matters to discuss with his turkish counterpart digging by hand through a philippines hillside dozens feared birdied in the aftermath of typhoon manga it's a lot of negatives from bricks at the international monetary fund warns of major problems for the u.k. economy if there is no deal with europe. and who was behind the killing of a prominent environmental campaigner the questions linger as

a murder trial begins in honduras. hello the turkish president is talking a fine alternate hope for the middle east the russian leader vladimir putin says there are complicated matters to discuss so the two are right now shut away in talks on syria in the russian city of sochi they headed in around an hour ago it's the second time in less than two weeks that they've come together on has warned of a bloodbath in the province of syrian forces attempt to take what is the last major rebel held territory the rebel held province has been coming under attack in recent weeks by government forces supported by russia and iran stephanie decker is live for us in that i hannity that's on the turkey syria border but first let's get the latest from joining us from moscow so as we await the joint statement to be put out

by the two presidents rory tell us what to expect. well heading into this meeting to me a putin praised the level of relations between russia and turkey saying that they were developing dynamically although he did say that some issues are difficult i think he was alluding there to the syria problem particularly the problem now russia type further one was a little bit more candid saying that he thinks not only the region but the whole world is focusing its attention on the meeting between these two men today and the things that there will be a statement following the meeting which she hopes will be a new hope for the region now earlier in the day the kremlin had spoken the kremlin spokesperson dmitri peskov basically saying that the problem in the situation there is cute and that obviously russia and turkey do have differences between them

differences in approach is nuances and therefore that it requires such a serious talk or at the top level i mean basically has made his opposition to a full scale assault on the ad libbed perfectly clear over the last few days and few weeks he even wrote an op ed in the wall street journal recently which i think probably raised many eyebrows in moscow where he launched a fairly blistering attack on bashar al assad he he didn't criticize moscow that candidly but obviously there was implicit criticism in what he was saying and i think what will surprise moscow most or has surprised moscow most was and insistence that there should be more international intervention in syria more international intervention in what's going on in been previously the two countries

russia and turkey and to some extent iran as. well in the in the standard format. seems like they were happy to deal with the syrian situation by themselves and not invite further intervention that has changed for turkey it seems in recent days what they have to talk about of course is this. what russia would like to think of as an anti terror operation in libya they would be talking about how to separate the so-called terrorist groups from the more moderate forms of opposition there and what sort of role turkey will play in this is it going to be invited in will it accept any role in a russian led damascus driven offensive against. if turkish red lines will be adhered to that's what we're going to be listening for

when the two have their press conference later ok we'll speak to you later on thank you for that update from moscow stephanie decker standing by for the highly on the turkish syrian border so as rory was saying russia and turkey have vast differences when it comes to syria stephanie for turkey and for murder one what is he taking to sochi and what is he hoping to achieve. well he wants time he wants more time to be able to what is turkey's role that is a difficult one during which is to to talk to the rebel groups inside there is of course many different ones but the main ones in the ones that are most controversial being called terrorist organizations particularly like. to get them either to put down their weapons or to merge into other groups now from what we understand that is proving somewhat difficult it's not going very well at the moment but he's trying to get a political solution to this so he needs time to do this but of course we know that the russians want to get stuff done we know that damascus is very keen to take back

the province which is just behind us but then of course you have the concerns about the humanitarian situation so they'll be difficult things on the table now i think during everyone does believe it's going to be in stages starting in the southern part of the province first people will tell you they think it's going to take a long time they do think russia is on board in terms of turkey's dumond's to try and spare as much of the civilian population as possible but because you have so many different armed groups on the ground in a lab within the cities and of course also the countryside that's going to be a real challenge remember it libya's been a place where over the course of the last couple of years these rebel groups with their families and also i.d.p.'s have been let's say a bus to do these reconciliation deals it was a problem left to be dealt with at the very end so this is why we are here now and why it is so incredibly complicated there is no other place for most of these rebels to go tens of thousands of fighters armed fighters that damascus all considers opposition terrorists with every what to call them and that they have to go so this is why those talks are proving such

a challenge and in the absence of any sort of agreement to come out of these talks or any sort of political solution for what is the biggest concern for the civilians that are there right now and going forward. that is the worst case scenario this is what turkey and i think most sides are trying to avoid because you have over three million civilians you can see them behind us that is one of the biggest the biggest i.d.p. camps inside syria eight hundred thousand people along the border now think of the densely populated cities dury it live has doubled in size when it comes to its population because of the displaced throughout the course of this war where are they going to go well it's mostly surrounded by government territory these people don't want to go there because they're terrified of what the government will do to them because they have seen as traitors opposition you know and there's already been rumors of arrests in other places the government has taken over and then you have the rebels and you have so many different rebel groups ok you have the

so-called opposition you have h.t.s. you have you know the turkistan islamic party which are chinese leaders you still have foreign fighters in there you have it is a mess and it is very very difficult and of course it's the civilians turkey's borders are closed you can see it very clearly lined up there during nothing to the left this is where we are turkey and everyone penned in to the right well turkey says it's going to keep its borders closed it's going to help them inside but if there is a full that conflict you can just get a sense of how difficult that's going to be stuff and you know the winds and rain have long gone but in the afternoon through aftermath of typhoon manga there is a desperate search going on in the philippines more than fifty are now confirmed dead in northern parts of the country right now and one area seems are still digging through mud for dozens more people thought to be burry to this is it's a gone town where a landslide swept on on homes on a former bunk house in a mining community after heavy rain on saturday many people had taken refuge in the

building as the typhoon hit despite warnings and hundreds of police and soldiers are working at the site but heavy equipment come to be brought in tamil and duncan is at the rescue site and it's gone. what the local government is trying to do is to expedite the process of its emergency response for example these backhoes have been working all day trying to clear the road and bishop leave the way you phrased speedier rescue and retrieval operations and this is something that is expected to last many days i'm just going to show you the work that's being done here by local government officials have set up a temporary emergency response center and over there is the list of those who have been missing families are there eagerly waiting for news from their loved ones and also behind me is a small processing area for the bodies that have been recovered by operatives here we were told that they have set up a small embalming process behind. me and this should actually make the process

easier they would like to turn over the bodies to the families very quickly now this whole operation is expected to last for over a week and that is because the full scale of this devastation has yet to be realized we were told that two backhoes have been attempted to be brought in in order for in order to help with retrieval operations only for those machines to be stuck on the top of the cliff and so right now what is happening really is the man while our ritual operation done by volunteers this is devastating not just for the community basically but for the many are there is why dependent on these small scale mining operations for their livelihood but the government assured those who are waiting here the community here that help is very much on the way. while in hong kong a massive cleanup operation is underway after mango caused widespread damage and flooding there hundreds of roads across the city have been blocked off by fallen trees and other debris around

a thousand flights from the city's airport were affected and the backlog was slowly being cleared many public transport services are still suspended and there were huge traffic jams is the most powerful storm on record to hit hong kong and four people died as typhoon man got moved on to guangdong province in southern china scott hardly reports. the world's strongest storm of the year typhoon man could made landfall on china's mainland on sunday night it weakened as it reached province in the south one of the world's most densely populated regions home to one hundred million people this after a near direct hit on hong kong and macau lashing the islands with high winds waves and flooding. thousands of people were without power either knocked out by the storm or shut down for safety reasons in china two point four million people had to be evacuated from their home hundreds of flights were canceled the high speed train

service was suspended and thousands of fishing boats headed back to port once the wind and the rain died down the cleanup started on monday with flooding fallen trees and debris to be cleared and after safety checks were carried out road rail and air services slowly began to start operating again on the mainland the storm is expected to continue moving west towards northern vietnam scott tyler al jazeera beijing. a warning that things will get a lot tougher for the u.k. economy as it struggles to finalize a bricks and deal the head of the international monetary fund says there will be a significant cost if it crosses out of the european union without a deal speaking in london a short time ago christine lagarde warned of the daunting challenges facing negotiations urging both sides to reach an agreement she said there would be a lot of negatives from brics it is due to leave the e.u. in march next year overcoming differences. reaching agreement

and closing a deal with the e.u. will be critical to avoid the new deal breaks it which would impose very large cost on the u.k. economy well there's only six months to go until britain is due to exit from the european union both sides have until march the twenty ninth to agree to the terms of if they fail the u.k. faces the prospect of crashing out of the e.u. without a deal the scenario has brought dire warnings of severe economic problems and even possible shortages of food and medical supplies prime minister to resume has proposed the so-called soft compromise deal which would ensure the u.k. maintains a level of economic cooperation with its european neighbors but hardliners in her ruling conservative party continue to demand a complete break from the e.u. with as few strings attached as possible paul brennan joining us from london to first talk us through the comments made by the i.m.f. chief and how significant her warnings are. i think they are hugely significant it

certainly focuses attention on the consequences of the kind of debates which are going on here in the u.k. at the moment as we approach the nearest deadline which is actually november with that has to be a divorce deal agreed by november to allow time for the member state parliaments to ratify that deal by brigs it date which as you say is the twenty ninth of march so it's actually a little bit closer than that in march and the consequences as laid out by christine legarde who at one point in a news conference described herself as a desperate optimist i'm afraid relentlessly downbeat i mean i'll give you a couple more quotes from it from her any deal she said will not be as good as a smooth process under which good services and people move around the u.k. and the e.u. at the moment so whatever the deal it will not be as good as we've got it at the moment and she went on to say in the in the event of a disorderly exit

a falling off the cliff edge next march our assessment is it would have very dire economic consequences. reduced growth increasing deficit depreciation of the currency all in reasonably short order and a reduction in the size of the u.k. economy and then she repeated that phrase dire economic consequences she didn't mince her words. but you know i just wonder how all of this is playing out domestically paul especially as the prime minister herself speaking to local media has basically said that it's either my deal or or no deal i mean how is all of this playing out. well she is can prime minister theresa may is continuing to withstand enormous pressure she has a reputation for doing so in a previous job as the interior minister the home secretary here in the u.k. as well when going gets tough she does seem prepared to tough it out but that said from all sides of the political spectrum here there are people on the left or in labor side and the hardliners within her own ruling conservative party who are not

happy with this so-called checkers plan this compromise deal and she is getting it in the neck now there is a genuine prospect that she may not be able to get her proposal passed by a vote through parliament it's up in the air at the moment will the m.p.'s fall into line will they decide to back away from the cliff edge it really is very very too close to call frankly but the time to make that decision is fast running at ok paul brennan thank you. you're the news hour on al-jazeera there is much more ahead including ethnic cleansing sexual violence and recruitment of children as soldiers some of the grim findings expected from a report on south sudan and the growing scare over a favorite fruit sewing needles are found hidden and strawberries in more australian states coming up and sport action from the singapore grand prix is lewis hamilton aims to stay on course for fifth formula one world title.

but first the eight men are about to go on trial in honduras over the murder of a prominent environmental activist catch us was shot dead in her home by what are reported to be paid assassins and many questions remain unanswered emmanuelle it up on the reports. it was one of the most high profile murders of an environmental activist in recent memory the death of forty four year old bit of the sport international condemnation and an investigation that's lasted more than two years eight men are now set to stand trial over her death she was shot and killed in her home in two thousand and sixteen. gusset is led a campaign of indigenous activists to protest the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the side of a river a waterway and wonderous that's considered sacred to the linkup people at least two

of the men charged with a citizen's murder are connected to the deaths of corporations the company behind the sarcoma project the disagree peroration has denied any involvement in the murder of the family of bed because it is says the investigation has been full of irregularities and say they worry the trial won't produce a just outcome right now under any government is holding on to approximately a terabyte of evidence that they have not handed over to the prosecution right now the prosecution has about fifty gigabytes that is a massive amount of evidence that has not been released or even looked at by the honduran government better the gusset is was the recipient of the prestigious goldman environmental prize it's believed that her activism is what led to her murder but cases like these where activists are targeted and killed are quite common in hunter s. human rights groups note the country has one of the highest rates of murders of environmental activists anywhere in the world most of think human rights the

fenders that are kele around the world are basing that what we don't i mean we have the largest number of human rights the focus will be deal on one duress unfortunately is on top of that if you can duress since two thousand and nine more than one hundred fifty human rights offenders have been. allegations of evidence tampering in the investigation have sparked protests and friends and family of bet the cassava say they continue to face threats of violence or death for continuing her work was really that was needed was the prosecutors believe that by uncovering who gave the order to kill better the gas it is a precedent could be set that might help protect other environmental activists from suffering her same fate and up a little dizzy to washington. in ethiopia at least twenty three people have been killed in violence targeting minority groups in the ethnic roma heartland near the capital addis ababa the unrest follow

a mass rally last week to mark the return of leaders of the formerly exiled or roma liberation front group russia says it has proof that ukraine downed flight m.h. seventeen and twenty fourteen that killed all two hundred ninety eight people on board the kremlin's defense ministry says the missile had been produced in one nine hundred eighty six and was owned by ukrainian authorities a dutch led investigation has concluded the missile was russian made and was transported to ukraine from a russian military base in the city off curse alexander river as a security expert in coordinator of the security studies program at the university of geneva that is where he is joining us from thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so you've just heard what the russians have come out and said but that really contradicts the joint investigation team which found in may that russia is responsible for this for the downing of this flight so what do you make of that contradiction. there is definitely contradiction

towards a very significant dutch investigation reports but there is also a contradiction between the russian vision of events and nearly all of the different international investigations that have taken place regarding this this terrible event why is it that the russians would come out and say this now. i would say the russian government definitely has the interest of of maintaining this situation unresolved just like the entire conflict of dumbass just like the question of south essentially russia is not fighting to try and convince anyone that their version is the correct version but they are going to attack just about every international investigation as they have pressured the investigators in two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen because what the russian would like in this affair is essentially an unresolved affair is there any possibility at all

in your opinion that russia is actually not behind it that is say. it's very difficult to imagine any other variants than the international investigations have confirmed because simply we have had international investigators on the ground we also know that the air defense system that was used is actually part of a much larger network so it's not possible and it's ultimately not a question of the individual person who has pressed on a button you need an entire network an entire military radar send certain network in order to operate such a such a mission will and so that particular time ukraine could not have engage such a weapon and in the bigger picture than what what does this mean when russia comes out it says it's saying that it has proof that ukraine in fact down the flights can

these facts at all change the course of the investigation. i would say no because the investigators have been a very present in the field at the point of the where the events took place in two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen they have supported they have suffered very substantial military and political pressure at the time now i would say this time for investigation is over and we will have to take the lead from the from the facts that have been collected at the time this is one thing and number two to respond to your question unfortunately your your trust will depend on which sources you trust if you trust western media if you trust the international investigation teams you will have to go with with the version that has been presented if of course you have different loyalties than of course you will go for

conspiracy conspirators sed theories and you will you will argue and you will go against the evidence that is presented and essentially this is what the russian federation is counting upon all right we thank you very much for speaking to us from geneva. the international criminal court has just delivered a ruling against the former congo vice president john kerry bemba over witness tampering during a war crimes trial in the barker life for us in brussels covering the story what's the verdict. well we know that the verdict was always a guilty verdict but we didn't know what we would be waiting for the sentencing of the judge of the i.c.c. has sentenced member to twelve months in prison and given him a fine of three hundred fifty thousand dollars given the fact that he's already served ten years in jail the judge said that this sentence would or it was already considered done and dusted so what does that mean next it could well mean that bamber could get on

a plane to go back to confess or in theory there is nothing to stop him from doing that he has hoped ever since the initial charges against him were cautious in june that he was going to be able to launch a presidential campaign to be able to one day leave the country but he has been prevented from being a candidate in the presidential election on the basis of this case pending at the i.c.c. now the sentences being given it's very unclear as to exactly what he will do next we know of course the president. is not keen to see bemba return to the country member is one of four opposition figures in the d r c to be blocked from standing in december's election and just remind us neve exactly what this case is about. well this is a case of witness tampering he was has been found guilty of bribery essentially of

between fourteen and thirty four witnesses who were involved in the original case against bemba this was a case in which he was found originally guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity as a set he sent was sentenced to eighteen years in jail served ten years of that before that guilty verdict was quashed earlier on this year a huge milestone for bemba who always protested his innocence saying that the crimes that he was had been originally accused of he had no responsibility for these were crimes carried out in the central african republic in the early two thousand that included allegations of mass rape including other brutal crimes during an attempt to quash a coup there the future though is looking very unclear for the say he now can in theory relaunch his hopes of running for president in the

d.r. see he has been blocked from that by the electoral committee in the country who've always insisted that while this case is pending he can't do that now it's over now the sentence is been dealt and it's regarded to have been already served member will have to plan and plot his next step very very carefully all right tony parker thank you. time for a check on the weather with kevin that's right and we're going to go right to our north carolina where the desk disaster continues in terms of the flooding take a look at the satellite the storm is now making its way towards the north so what is happening is we are going to start to get a break from the rain finally in that area after three days of making landfall florence is now pulling away from this region we still have a few areas of showers here across fair bill as well as when we tend but i want to take you specifically over here to new bern that is where one area saw some amazing storm surge and this is what they are now dealing with a lot of the boats as you can see here have been lifted out of the marinas into yards into parking lots across will tracks we've also had some rains that have been

derailed in the area as well as highway ninety five has been closed for a very large stretch psycho's from north all the way down to the self here in bowling springs it was a dam and this is only one of the dams that are in stress this one actually collapsed and we're watching other dams across the area because so much pressure is now being put on those dams the big problem over the next few days not to next days action the next week is going to be a disaster in slow motion and that is going to be river flooding all of the water that is upstream now needs to come downstream and we do have many many rivers that are at minor moderate and major flood stage so just because the rain has ended the flooding is going to continue having thank you while still ahead on the al-jazeera news our camp david accords turned forty we'll look at the historic peace agreement between israel and egypt south korea cautions against raising expectations ahead of a summit between one giant on north korea's kim jong il and in sports the n.f.l.

hello again the top stories on the al-jazeera news hour turkey's president. has talked of bringing new hope to syria's province as he meets with his russian counterpart for talks in sochi it's the second time in less than two weeks they've come together has warned of a bloodbath and in the province of syrian forces attempt to take what's the last

major rebel held territory rescue efforts are continuing in the northern philippines where more than fifty people have been killed by typhoon manta most of them died in landslides triggered by strong winds and heavy rain in the area it's a gone dozens of miners are feared dead after a mountain slope collapsed on their living quarters the head of the international monetary fund says there will be significant costs to the british economy if the u.k. crashes out of the european union without a deal christine legarde has warned of a lot of negatives from. now the u.n. human rights commission in south sudan is calling on the government to set up a hybrid court to try potential war criminals south sudan's government signed a peace deal last week to end nearly five years of civil war the commission says those who committed crimes during the conflict must be held accountable. it's only days since south sudan's worrying parties agreed to end a war which has ravaged the world's youngest country but the united nations is keen for the government to take the next big step as soon as possible form

a hybrid court to put on trial anyone suspected of committing atrocities during the conflict. or the south sudan is a country at war with the citizens because the attacks continue the violations on to new. internally displaced persons and refugees continue and the number of children would have affected by the continued to go on the increase. were. began in twenty thirteen when president salva kiir accused his then vice president riek machar of attempting a coup tens of thousands of people have been killed and a third of the country's twelve million population displaced the un has reports of ethnic killings rapes and recruitment of child soldiers and has no guarantee those activities won't continue the signed peace deal results for among other things the formation of a court so those accused of crimes can be held accountable but south sudan's

government which has denied committing any offenses says the immediate parents should be on building peace in the country south sudan is now looking for a way out from the conflict to peace and peace agreement has been signed so the international community should now give time for the government and the other political parties that signed the agreement to make sure they implement the peace agreement electorally spirit they show. of accountability doesn't come off the accountability should come as part of the implementation of peace agreement but for many people if justice is seem to be done it will enable them to move on from the horrors of the past and rebuild their lives here morgan al-jazeera. storm florence continues to threaten the u.s. states of north and south carolina despite being downgraded to a tropical depression the governor of north carolina says florence is now in its most dangerous stage it's dumping record levels of rain and major flooding is for

cost chris the salumi reports. florence may no longer be a hurricane or even a tropical storm but her rains keep falling and the waters keep rising all across north and south carolina and despite days of warnings flash flooding continues to catch many off guard as the storm slowly inches inland it was waist deep inside the house and then once we got off the park it was up to our right more than nine hundred people have been rescued from homes and vehicles so far and according to the governor of north carolina the worst has yet to come some fifteen thousand people have moved into government shelters who were able to go by over thirty or all in your car to see the regime gave you a record you were driving the vulnerable need to be there all that there are. travel has become increasingly treacherous as

rivers overflow their banks and flood major roadways at least five of the people whose deaths have been attributed to florence were killed in their vehicles residents are being warned not to become complacent with help and for the best for a program for the worst and we and we sit in a strong message to people if you decide to stay and not a mandatory evacuation what about three pm today will not be available to you and so we encourage you to do things like notify legal next of kin and let people know what your choices are. new mandatory evacuation orders went into effect in fayetteville for those who live within a mile of the cape fear and little rivers the last time this area experienced major flooding with two years ago the quite clearly river swelled its banks and the water rose so high it came all the way to this building here flooding the basement meteorologists are predicting that this time the flooding will be even worse the volunteers who lived through the last storm are standing by to help emergency

officials we've got churches over and we've got volunteers and as i would know we got schools over and over filters that while we're if you go if you can't get out. we got a guy that are willing to take their boat to live on the line to make sure our people get to safety. waiting and watching a slow motion natural disaster whose full impact may still not be felt for days kristen salumi al-jazeera fayetteville north carolina. well forty years ago today the camp david accords were signed their deal aim to resolve differences over the one nine hundred sixty seven six day war this was the middle east before fighting began and then israel says territory including the sinai and gaza from egypt the golan heights from syria and the west bank which was controlled by jordan at the time camp david laid the framework for a peace deal signed a year later by egypt and israel after israel handed back the sinai to egypt it still holds today the accords in one nine hundred seventy eight included

a proposal to set up a self governing authority for palestinians in the west bank and gaza but palestinians were not party to the agreement rosslyn jordan has more. on september seventeenth one thousand nine hundred seventy eight egypt and israel and thirty years at war after twelve days of secret talks at the us presidential retreat camp david menachem begin and sadat later were aboard the nobel peace prize for signing the camp david peace accords an achievement that. reflects the courage and wisdom of these two leaders jimmy carter to receive the same prize for using the power of his office to compel sworn enemies to talk to listen and to make a deal many had hoped the peace treaty with egypt and them with jordan would improve the chances of a peace deal between israel and the palestinians thirty years later despite the all

slow accords and repeated u.s. efforts to hold peace talks experts say achieving the two state vision is as difficult as it's ever been. a lot of ideas are out there federation confederation one state three states but every time one studies this issue in any detail you come back to the two state solution is the only outcome that would satisfy the national aspirations of both sides there are many reasons why israeli palestinian peace talks have stalled some blame the failure of palestinian president mahmoud abbas to prevent attacks on israelis others reject the trumpet ministration as a broker for future talks benjamin netanyahu government keeps building jewish settlements in the occupied west bank and restricts palestinians movements around the territory and the trump white house has made what many call hostile actions toward the palestinian government closing the p.l.o.

office in washington cutting u.s. funds for the un refugee agency and to the palestinian authority stopping its donations to a hospital that serves critically ill palestinians and moving the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem a former negotiator on the camp david accords says in light of all this it's too much to hope that the white house peace plan could be a breakthrough this is not a real estate transaction real estate involved but this is also about national interests about security concerns about highly symbolic issues jerusalem about people's rights experts say the vision of two states living side by side can survive but right now there is no predicting when or if one might see a repeat of the good feelings on display back in september one thousand nine hundred seventy eight rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington. let's speak to mind

our bonnie he is a resident senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies is joining us from washington d.c. thanks for speaking to us again so some hailing camp david accords as a key moment in egyptian is really relations from your point of view is there a legacy to speak of when it comes to egypt and israel relations very much so and i think the camp david accords of one thousand nine hundred eighty were a key turning point but for different reasons than people often presume i mean the fundamental legacy of camp david is that it removed egypt from the arab israeli equation made an arab military option to deter israel non-viable and thereby freed israel to accelerate its colonization of the occupied territories to undertake actions such as the one nine hundred eighty two invasion of lebanon

and so on the other key aspect of camp david is that it sought to resolve the future of the question of palestine without directly involving the palestinians and the formula that was established to camp david was palestinian autonomy or self government as your correspondent noted and that formula rather than national self-determination for the palestinian people has persisted to this very day and in fact laid the basis for the oslo agreements of the early one nine hundred ninety s. . at the time if anything many people say well at least there was the political will and strong leadership according to some that came together to reach some sort of agreement for peace in the middle east and that situation is not apparent today do you agree with that and if so what's at stake now. i presume you're speaking of american political leadership that's right and i think the key issue if

one goes back to the one nine hundred seventy s. is that both israel and egypt were prepared to make a deal given the strategic equation in the region whereby israel would relinquish the occupied egyptian territories in exchange for a separate peace between egypt and israel where i think american leadership was really needed forty years ago in camp david would have been to exercise pressure on israel to compel or not only to temporarily see settlements expansion as happy as has happened at the time for i think three or four months but to actually take concrete steps to relinquish its rule over the occupied palestinian territories that didn't happen and that's also a fundamental reason why we are where we are today in twenty eighteen yeah well fast forward to today mr bonny ends with the trumpet ministration in power with the

closure of the p.l.o. office the moving of the u.s. embassy as you know from tel aviv to jerusalem where does this all leave any sort of hope for peace. well i think if one believes that recent u.s. administrations and particularly the current one have peace between israel and the palestinians as their overriding strategic objective i think it's a misreading of reality yes. this administration no less than a speed assessor the producers would like to see peace in the middle east but that desire for peace is ultimately subordinated to the strategic alliance with israel and the need to insure israeli impunity in its dealings with the palestinian people and the lack of any accountability for its actions and ultimately that's why we see the type of measures that we've seen the trumpet ministration undertaking which

again i i think bears pointing out enjoys very widespread bipartisan support if you look at the criticism for example that the trumpet ministration has endured on many of its other not only domestic but also foreign policy initiatives the criticism of the trumpet ministration from the political class for the measures it has undertaken with respect to the israeli palestinian conflict are almost deafening in their silence all right mind our bonnie we thank you for speaking to us from washington denuclearization will dominate talks at choose their summit between the leaders of north and south korea south korea's president will travel to pyongyang for what will be his third meeting with kim jong il in this year moon is trying to revive stalled talks between north korea and the u.s. he's expected to push came to make what he calls bold moves towards disposing of his nuclear weapons bride reports or so. a growing sense of anticipation on both

sides of the border and head of this summit it is going to be a packed itinerary the most important aspect of it of course will be the one on one meetings between one j.n. of south korea and kim jong un there will also be more detailed discussions between members of their large delegations they'll be talking about ways of improving into korean relations building on what they have already achieved about ways of reducing the risk level on the threat of conflict on the korean peninsula most important of course will be an attempt to try to start the stalled talks that have taken place between north korea and the united states on finding ways of getting the two sides to talk further about removing north korea's nuclear arsenal. south korean president moon j.n. travels to pyongyang determined to breathe new life into an initiative he'd largely
