we do see news media reporting on major corruption cases for example in the last year the most senior case they put a bureau member was being reported was that option and. he could be reported because he was somebody that wanted to make an example. and therefore journalists could report but still in fact in the fairly guardians from the propaganda department chinese media landscape around the relationship between the media the state is riddled with many contradictions we're seeing lack of investigations in some areas some investigations and others and things changing. very fluid basis and very quickly that's why it's called a battlefield it's not all you know one or worse not completely controlled or figured out given the sheer number of voices in china's vast journalistic sphere

absolute government control has never been completely possible. what is undeniable however is that under siege in paying the chinese state's command of the media space has been consolidated and reinforced. with dramatic repercussions for investigative work across the country. and finally for all of the faults media critics find in broadcast journalism it can still provide a vital service when impending weather disasters like hurricane florence are heading for the eastern us t.v. ratings skyrocket because the up to date information those networks provide can save lives pure and simple this past week the weather channel rolled out some new mixed reality technology using computer generated imagery c.g.i. to give viewers in the storm's path an idea of what kind of flood waters the hurricane might produce and for context they used a five foot two inch anchorwoman as a measuring stick the clip is as entertaining as it is informative but news

five years ago the prospect of peace in the middle east after decades of conflict between palestinians and israelis. this film tells the story of secret negotiations in the political shadows. a story of the search for common ground in the midst of a region in constant turmoil. and at the center of. an unlikely media to ladies and gentlemen this excellent. minister of foreign affairs of the scandinavian country of norway minister of foreign affairs of egypt. lake assistant

to the president for national security a bad. i thank you i got a salute also today the government of norway for its remarkable role in nurturing this i. i. said temba nine hundred ninety three. israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin and palestinian leader yasser arafat's shake hands thank. you thanks well high peace between israelis and palestinians would finally come to them. but two decades such a peace remains as elusive has ever. let me. in. what it can mean that we face the most business wanted to see

it but the scene is taking gaza and then israeli palestinian jordanian condominium in the west bank. it is not possible for a small country like away to play a symmetric role. in cas to be a role according to its rules rules of the game. president of the signing ceremony was former us secretary of state henry kissinger chief architect of the peace between egypt and israel. kissinger's approach was to make only small demands and to build from there. arafat's picked up on a step by step strategy and as early as nine hundred seventy four his palestinian liberation organization approved a plan to aim for a foothold in the region administered by a palestinian authority rather than historic palestine. in the same year the arab

league summit has officially designated the p.l.o. as the sole representative of the palestinian people. that he or she and the all don't want to shout in the spring and the uk menagerie workers who have that i mean. now jess are. somewhat. more words a moon is more as a bird met the. military. in one nine hundred seventy four arafat known to his colleagues as addressed the united nations for the palestinians and for the p.l.o. the event represented recognition for the palestinian struggle never heard him or not said but when hamilton. any i would. soak up the it was the.

at in all my mean that he did the p.l.o. game stature of the un but it continued to reject security council resolutions two two forty. and three three eight. the resolutions demanded that israel withdraw within what was called secure and recognized borders. but they did not precisely require israel to withdraw to all land into occupied before the six day war in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. about said. if they go shared by the. security council resolution to put to it. they would strongly oppose any of these two resolutions one the framework for the one nine hundred seventy eight camp david accords of. the accords called not for a palestinian state but for what was termed palestinian autonomy.

that big an i'm of some use have also been in looks but a hokum that e.l.o. for listening while some of them fuck with them what courtroom them to sleep eat. in the un and when do the early killer walked. and i hope in your i love you so forget the forward feeling in the u.n. and the media and the economy that from its stronghold in south lebanon in one nine hundred seventy seven the p.l.o. decided to explore the possibility of talks with israel could now. be in. a month. early. one month he said that it would do good work and the. feel good move for me be a do with the. palestinian president mahmoud abbas says in his book the secret channels that this dialogue was with the

israeli forces that supported peace and with the sephardic jews. in march nine hundred seventy eight israel invaded south lebanon. the united nations responded by deploying a peacekeeping force into south lebanon. known as unifil part of this force was made up of norwegian troops i had this for the first time. as part as as a norwegian so into. visiting the uni field forces in lebanon. i came with friends through israel then ask about the lucy event to go in dhaka said

it would rest now stuck in east. it in most developed a dome and all the hard to balance good foot if i'm sitting in that office just didn't get it but all politicians can get email so doc that offer shifting young mom did not get instilling in a he didn't suddenly help nor they call to be a good approximately one thousand soldiers and the course and security of those soldiers was a very important cause for to us the very vulgar of the first call to this list what did this guy of that time as the king kong contacts needed p.l.o. in that context miss the live in the. minister of foreign affairs to the assault but it was the deputy minister state secretary he followed the situation very close at the time know of this of her head though that's the the thinking. what makes as we in the this. is. when

it comes to. the candidate who is bill and so you want to be in tears be the leader in all been there. yourself. some of the many and all the little colonel bishop here as well surveyed. and that was. the left. mr wells to mean confucius. near. let me shake. a more club in norway was more supportive over israel than many of the others and i think. any of the other european states under there are several reasons one of the most important. and the mention the labor party and the rich and trade union therefore please pay for all our socialist experiment.

almost social democratic. like the one we have in no way. in the late one nine hundred seventy s. there was a common bond of socialist ideology between noise labor party and its namesake in israel. one of the key players in this special relationship was a prominent labor party member of norway's parliament johann you're going holst mr holst. person at the political level to me. the minister. or the minister of defense. he came to be a roots. in july i think it was in seventy nine he made it. and they offer

a lot of hot then why did the whole group. very pleasant did that mr holst's had very close contact. and that it's that aspect of mr hall smith even more interesting to me that out of. interest in order it was that he already called things he said. that in no rush i hear little prick does. the middle mean i mean it doesn't conflict that almost just before and in. the sultry halls the. it was our own losses of trauma they let you can do and i was with one. you know mozart of what to him removed would look now. in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the shah of iran fled into exile. israel lost an hour and

a major oil supplier. the united states asked no way to guarantee to sell its north sea oil to israel concerned about repercussions for its un troops in lebanon norway scented stapler mats hands long to seek assurances from arafat mr arafat's. defecting on the phone if you split seconds he said i would have. to such an obvious and good t. to me he said. on one condition when i need this secret back channel three said you provided. yasser arafat wanted the norwegians to act as intermediary between himself and israel and the regions in the region government were just shocked to hear the message coming back from our of so probably lived

in seventy nine. every year from there a lot you know mentioned try to step up a secret actual between the funeral and israel but israel absolutely not willing at all to listen to anything other than the region could come up with from are up on appeal. in one nine hundred eighty two the p.l.o. lost its base in lebanon. palestinian fighters were forced to depart following the israeli invasion of lebanon three months earlier. a us brokered deal that led to arafat and his entourage moving to tunisia it was then. an imitation from our

father to my previous foreign minister and threw it in and. been defense minister. when denying going to. new year's eve without effort in tunis. out of all stirs. help him getting. the mean below and part. time. a member of the assembly of this list in. turn to be. a strong interest in the socialist in nothing for trying to contribute to normalization

of. the relationship between then and the is to help with his charm offensive arafat turned to senior p.l.o. member exams the time to act as his make go between are not fought point the doctor. he came to visit me because i said to this from. your very good impression of him i believe that the p.l.o. has been to give it just achievement of our suffering people i believe that is the most needed. and then we should meet in the old blue pharaoh there was the source in the national assembly meeting in portugal and then there were some shooting so. in the lobby. and.

this. is some sort of lay where he'd been killed by a lone gunman who pumped five shots into his chest it has never been clearly verified the assassination of subtle ways but the motive appears to be because he was talking to the israelis on arafat's about ha got the ball so that we. he did so we take against the stream in face of great objection and danger. our offense continued a double game on the one hand seeking discreet diplomatic channels to israel via the norwegians while on the other hand publicly maintaining a revolutionary rhetoric. was out of the young

tree i was. at the wal-mart and they had a fit. with the b. who do this to the store to but that did. in the end the. that can be death cool if. you know store. and don't walk and them it is has been no man has been there when this. any. not been there i was in the condo but why didn't the one about to work that. out of it. can you be mad what this to me that. is bad must in obstructing it twenty years on stoltenberg will not betray the secrecy of conversations between the p.l.o. and israel we tried. to prepare for and they were.

both in the clear that this. labor party started their. very much try. home where the people from the israeli labor party that you were contacting mr shimon peres or the other. problem is never did. i have not told. you no i only. part. is not coming from what i say from all the things i didn't say. in the mid eighty's the labor party in israel formed a coalition government with the. party should mean i gave a nod and a wink for likud member. to hold secret talks with palestinian politician is allowed husseini in jerusalem. discussion centered on p.l.o. recognition of israel autonomy on the west bank and

a federal relationship with jordan. the so-called arab husseini plan became a model for the subsequent oslo accords years later. told that it was soon to offer by the outbreak of the first intifada. the palestinian uprising which took both israel and the p.l.o. by surprise. and. the start of the intifada shall be a ruler after. the day after. a lot of homicide i looked to you well when demand. and when that many. yes the thought of palestinian boys throwing stones against israel tanks. this

david and goliath contest put the israelis under great pressure time is now out of the essence. in an exclusive for al-jazeera the norwegian foreign ministry has released highly confidential documents that include a nine hundred eighty eight and delivered letter from foreign minister stoltenberg to israeli foreign minister peres stoltenberg wrote that only by relieving itself of the burden of the occupied territories can israel succeed and prosper. without the book with any problem. that there were there miles that all the critics said thought for through and through through and. come with then you're complaining about. the menu to many and you have been for this believe you i'm that zeph the most fun. that can feel welcome again oh yes head off

and your cool national know i love carlotta mccain we've been a lot of very let's give the do the live in of a state i'm not doubting. sophie the i'm not dumb or not that's just being. mean at the wife at the other one of them look at the how do you i'll meet then with you know how to be in the loveliest there heidi. one of the saudi if you know them by the field while they're shut up. for the philistine me except i want united nations editions thank you ditto for it and i think the international take. again it's intermission in here which.

robin in which the mad only a lady can and will cost down well more than one of them to have here the mother might have had the weather value family if they did in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight sweden mediated between the p.l.o. and the united states a public meeting was held in stockholm. but only meant if you know parliament if you. accepted it. and it's by a spirit and you want it. is that. in his speech to the u.n. general assembly in geneva in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight arafat formally condemned terrorism. geneive. the muslim american nor. was it. a happy don't you beginning. obama.

i mean you. would feel. this move in the you or in the. bill english you. shall have people do. for. unknownst. for. as it is. i don't see it. yesterday in unfair database. and. i repeat for the record. for the record. absolutely.

got it is. the fault of these ideas. including. had accepted the israeli. captors memory and present reality. camera as a. photography. part of the viewfinder america. until now the coverage of. most of the world was covering tragedies. but not feel how they think and that's what we do we go five and

a half months of demanding it one educational system that was introduced. to fill a void that needed to be filled. and a president. the us has become harder than the.
