with the cycle of violence in palestine growing. the british decided to act. at james's palace the conference is hoping to arrive at the solution of the adult jewish problem of palestine. after a conference in london attended by both arabs and jews the british government produced a white paper setting a limit on jewish immigration to palestine for the next five years to bring peace to be so beyond that it would be left to the arab majority to decide to the jews this was complete betrayal soon the british would feel their anger. on the twenty six the bogus one nine hundred thirty nine. and started its own war

against the british killing two officers in a bomb attack. six days later the whole world has descended into war. the name egypt we called off its campaign. so as not to hinder britain's fight against what they called the junos greatest enemy in the world. german nazis. but within a splinter group now emerged led by a man determined to fight all. of a hamster thought that britain was a greater enemy of the jews than down through germany. and he wanted to

continue to fight the british during the second world war. you know order to expel them. in july nine hundred forty stern created a new militant breakaway from aragorn called lefty or fighters for the freedom of israel. to the british it was simply the stern gang. the fate of falcon bernadotte would be determined by these men. they wanted the british out of the middle east the germans wanted the british out of the middle east so decided to make common cause with the nazis tried to make contact with them in istanbul the nazis weren't interested nothing came of it. it was a mixture of stupidity and fanaticism they thought that they should join the

enemy of england in order to obtain help for the girls in palestine which was just stupid they were very brave and very stupid people. in february one thousand nine hundred forty two during his arrest in tel aviv by the british. average understand was shot dead. on the six the november one thousand nine hundred forty four left he commanded now by gets near struck back in an unexpected place. cairo. two assassins killed more and more in the british minister a resident in the middle east outside his home. it's actually. was

a terrorist and not just he but the other members. the stern gang defined themselves as terrorists and wrote that terrorism is a perfectly legitimate means for expanding the foreign occupied from the land of israel. after the end of world war two in one thousand nine hundred forty five as jewish organizations were honoring bernadotte for his work with the white buses. many of the holocaust survivors trying to enter palestine found their way barred. britain had refused to raise immigration limits set before the war. to the jews the betrayal now seemed even greater.

having won one ball britain found itself fighting and. this time against jewish militant groups. what developed was the kind of competition. in the usa was the most extreme deal go . to the many other door. at the high god now became more extreme with other beatrice able to go and so the whole process became more claim. violence and death ride the ancient streets of jerusalem.

terrorism as in john fund tel aviv has been the chief outward sign of a critical situation. palestine continues to present one of the most obstinate problems of today. responding with a draconian counterinsurgency campaign the british arrested. imposing the death penalty on convicted insurgents. in response. under the command of another future israeli prime minister menachem begin bombed the king david hotel. the main base for the british administration in palestine. killing

british arabs and jews alike. by october one thousand nine hundred forty seven jewish underground groups had killed one hundred twenty seven british servicemen. and. three have been inspected by his majesty's government feel enough so that in the absence of a settlement femurs flame early. british forces of the british administration from. britain had washed its hands of a problem of its own making. the fate of palestine now lay with the united nations.

nearly in november one thousand nine hundred forty seven the un general assembly adopted resolution one eight one recommending that palestine be partitioned into separate arab and jewish states. to the owners of the united nations the solution to recommend partition brings while jubilation among the jewish community into rosa longman tel aviv. this was the first ever international recognition of the long hoped for jewish state. but the extremists saw no cause for celebration. they thought that the jews had the absolute right to the whole of palestine. and that the borders of the drew state shouldn't be defined by any

foreign bodies like the united nations so they wanted greater ease rail as it existed in biblical times. in april one thousand nine hundred forty eight going to forces began a military operation to take control of arab areas assigned to the jewish state under the partition plan. extremist militias joined the effort but soon they had overstepped the mark. that is the stern gang and you'll go in as the british call them participated in one famous atrocity which was of course called quest and massacre which occurred in the village of the area seen on the ninth of april one thousand nine hundred forty eight when about one hundred villagers were killed most of them civilians.

and this time mandate is indeed britain is relieved of about sudan and cunningham takes leave of the troops are shown exemplary patience in a fantasy. ten weeks or more not acquired completely with the departure of the last high commissioner of palestine the british mandate was a. fun. but same day in tel aviv david ben-gurion declared be establishment of the state of israel. the celebration would be short lived.

within hours the egyptian air force would bomb the capital of the newly formed state. at the same time the armies of egypt jordan syria and iraq crossed the borders into palestine. for as the maintenance of modern security and just as an urgent question which can fight in new york the united nations faced a major challenge to its power and prestige. the first arab israeli going. on the twentieth of may nineteenth forty eight the united nations named its first mediator in palestine. the man who would take on the task was count fulker bernadotte hero the white bustles. he was from that noble family he was

a relative of the king and it's thought he could deal very good with people meeting and making compromises things like that. at the end of may nine hundred forty eight bernadotte left paris for the middle east. seen off by his american born wife a stele. in a pointed to echo of the white buses campaign bernadotte had his specially chartered plane painted white with u.n. and red cross markings. into the account but it is cut by united nations that last hope it it was a record every time they did it rated him above suspicion of advantages of living in tel aviv is best up to his first task was to bring about

a cease fire. which needed that he went to the different capitals in kind of shuttle diplomacy. which he really invented because everybody was very impressed about his energy hit the the temple we used when he was traveling around and there you can see he made all possible efforts to bring this ceasefire about. after only ten days in the middle east bernadotte scored his first success. on the ninth of june him mounts to a four week truce. if it had been food federal politicians doing all the tricks i'm not sure he would have succeeded better because. they were surprised by this total openness he never had this diplomatic roundabouts all the time and many people say that that was clear advantage.

by the end of june after weeks of diplomacy bernadotte was finally able to unveil a new plan for peace in palestine. bernadotte was a realist and he did not want to abandon the un partition plan but he wanted to modify it to fit in with a new reality on the ground. and if you look at the map of the un partition plan it doesn't make much sense it's three jewish enclaves with kissing points and then there is the arab state which is also fragmented so basically what you wanted to do is to give the jews the whole of the galilee in the north and the coastal plain but to deprive them of the negative and to give the

negative to the arab state that there was not to be an independent palestinian state by this time the arab part of palestine was to be incorporated with france jordan. despite there being no independent state allocated to the palestinians bernadotte proposals did include one key provision for them. the right of return for refugees expelled by force from their homes in israeli controlled areas. better than a dog as number four how can i bear no doubt proposed the right of return and he managed to obtain a un resolution that this is a humanitarian right that can be ignored with no limits or numbers the complete and immediate right to return. and burn

a dots planning included one more provision which would outrage the israelis. in his first peace plan which i think was his biggest mistake he said that jerusalem would be inside the arab state because there was no possibility whatsoever to have that use agreed to something like that. under bernadotte supplanted judaism's most holy place would come under the control of the arabs. jewish militants decided they must fight on in defense of jerusalem. the campaign against bernadotte was building and plans were soon being laid for killing account.

the greek island of rhodes. a world heritage site today it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in europe. roses hotel is one of the oldest on the island. in the summer of one nine hundred forty eight count foca bernadotte the un's first mediator for palestine had chosen the island as his headquarters.

for the arrival of his american born wife estelle and their two sons fold and bed till ease the tension as bernadotte waited for the official response to his proposals to end the war that had broken out in palestine. after two weeks relaxing with his family. bernadotte set out on another round of shuttle diplomacy. in the morning one day with the red cross here before he said there's a put this all and i put it all but i was allowed to travel with you i did they friends go. to jerusalem. but i was told to stay the course. but adults had come to jerusalem to meet the israeli foreign minister moshe ret.

israel's response to burne adults plan was a total rejection. i think they saw him as an enemy of the jewish state he was going to reduce by large measure the size of the state the jews were to have so they regarded him as pro arab basically and he was in some ways a an agent of the british government who are regarded rightly or wrongly by the israelis as anti zionist. after the failure of bernadotte first plan and with a full week troops coming to its end. fighting broke out again palestine.

three days later bernadotte accompanied by his wife estelle flew into la guardia airport in new york. that's when he wanted to impress on the security council's the urgent need for firm and decisive action. action. that united nations and that. to step up. to the second. and. that. sort of thing and that it's a big thing. by whom. back

in the middle east and with a second fragile truce in place bernadotte began a new round of negotiations. but securing that peace seemed impossible. like i'm sure and a share in that but of the didn't have anything definite convinced either the arabs or the israelis that he had real authority or proud of it so there was a lot of resistance from both sides to his purported look for the catawba. in mid august and exhausted bernadotte flew to sweden. he was to chair the international red cross conference and it was

a chance to see his family. he took me out for a whole day we went to museum or winters or football and things like that and i remember afterwards to having my father for myself the whole day was a day and a fantastic thing to happen. once. before returning to the middle east he arranged to meet in paris three weeks later . for her birthday. it was a meeting he would never make. during the first two weeks of september one thousand nine hundred forty eight bernadotte spent what would prove to be the last days of his life in rhodes putting the final touches to a revised peace plan. completed on the sixteenth of september it

contained a major concession to israel jerusalem the city would no longer be under arab control it would be administered by the united nations. but this change had come to light. six days earlier in an apartment in tel aviv's ben yehuda street the commanders of leahy the stern gang had come together to seal the fate of falcon bernadotte. not here lemole voted against the assassination of been a door. doctor he said i have. voted for this nation anything from the cost he's voted in favor of the assassination of the u.n.

envoy. so it was two against one that's how the decision was made. on the seventeenth of september one thousand nine hundred forty eight at ten o'clock in the morning. count full could burn it off landed at kalandia airport north of jerusalem. shortly after these three car convoy arrived at the mandelbaum dates. the crossing points into the west i'm jewish part of jerusalem. waiting at the gate was a liaison officer assigned to him by the israeli government. captain moshi.

then thought account notice that mr hellman was armed with a pistol so he turned to him and said no no no no you have to get rid of that pistol give it to the other officers here you're under the protection of the un and when you're protected by the un there are no weapons. with no military escort no protection other than the u.n. flag. burning docks convoy and that jewish jerusalem. after a few hours spent visiting the former british governor's house they headed to the y.m.c.a. for the night. as they left andres so a french colonel traveling with the u.n.

convoy asked tilman to do him a favor. and i thought right away the liaison officer swapped seats in berne adults car and goes to sit in another car in the convoy care should be the move the applaud. and switches with colonel servo who asked for the chance to thank bernadotte for the red cross campaign that had saved his wife from a german concentration camp. so close wife had been liberated by one of the white fusses. his gratitude would cost him his life. heading towards the y.m.c.a. the three car convoy was suddenly halted.

an army jeep pulled out from the side street to block the road. three men in israeli army fatigues sprang out of the jeep. they are they block the road and then two of the assassins come out steinberg and ben must share and puncture the tires of the vehicles in front. of. it going to leave sharon before you go to the show no they don't know which car the counties in and then suddenly the count opens the window of his car so he can see what's happening . to show you his the shots they are bad news they must be all sure then they identify him and joshua cohen goes to the car puts his schmeiser submachine gun in through the window and unloads on everyone sitting in the receipt of a shot of the. six bullets tore into

bernard dogs left arm throat and chest. cohen kept firing pumping eighteen bullets into colonel sorrow. in a matter of seconds the assassins had made their escape. by five o'clock in the afternoon bernadotte lay dead in hospital alongside him colonels. i heard it on the radio which was a bit deplorable in many ways the news had come first of all two was a swedish king and he baited with members of the family who would inform my mother and that debate carried on so much that the swedish radio assumed that the family had been told but we hadn't so therefore it came as a bit of a shock and i got up and went to my mother and said something's happened to my

father and she said i felt that i had a feeling. she knew that he was there. the next day bernadotte body left israel on the same white plane lettered carried him in such a piece. it was on its way to paris where bernadotte had been due to present his second peace plan to a un meeting. and to meet his wife to celebrate her birthday. politicians and diplomats representing their countries of the un meeting in paris came to all the airports to pay their last respects.

with the assassination of its mediator the u.n. had failed its first great test. that evening bernadotte body arrived in stockholm and was carried to the family home. why father lay in a room in our house. but my mother didn't think it a good idea and neither did i that i should go in and see him like that so i didn't have a saw. five days later swedes came on to the streets of stockholm to bid farewell to burn

thought. ninety year old king gustav arrived to mourn the death of his beloved nephew. scouts and red cross workers from the two organizations bernadotte chaired the coffin along its way to the northern cemetery. in israel prime minister david ben-gurion ordered an immediate hunt for the killers . but it soon became apparent that the hunt was not what it seems.

moshe hilman the liaison officer traveling with bernadotte had recognized the driver of the jeep used by the assassins of the a lot or much as they are say yeah my dad went to macheda diane who was then the military commander of jerusalem and said to him listen i received a threatening letter that said hilman be careful why because he knew one of them at that he said he didn't want to mess anything up and diane said to him you know what let's leave things in secret for the time being we didn't hear we didn't see. with bernadotte death his plan also done right. but the legacy of his assassination had only just begun. israel covertly strengthened during the truce successfully launched a series of military operations to drive out the arab amin's. israel at the

end of the forty eight war was interested in retaining its conquests and all the territory which it had in its hands which included of course all of galilee and a the negative were going to have relinquished them in line with what the bernadotte had planned. i doubt it. in one thousand nine hundred forty nine a series of armistice agreement was signed in bernadotte former headquarters in roads between israel and a tire of the neighbors. but the solutions bernadotte had been seeking and had paid for with his life remained elusive. but if of course the jerusalem problem is still under resort that this day and ben adopt wanted the city to be part of the arab state or under international administration the proposal for the

immediate return of fifty g.'s if that had happened relations between the zionists and palestinians would have been a better more able to find the common future for palestine the one for this thing. with israel victorious ben-gurion announced a general amnesty. bernadotte killers were freed to return to normal life in the new state of israel. yahshua cohen would head south to the newly occupied negative to a kibbutz called his day buck. in years to come prime minister david ben-gurion would make this place his home. usual coin was one of the founders of those there were killed but says the booker and was the closest

member of the kibbutz to bring glory and they were going to get there before the morning march in the evening march and they were talking in the were friendly and i thought to myself well this was the guy when gloria wanted to fly anywhere he wanted to find him to crash in and now there are their friends. while bernadotte killer became a friend of the prime minister. one of the men who ordered the killing would eventually rise to that role himself. being. the great a very humiliated when the right wing swept to power for the first time in one nine hundred seventy seven. menachem begin the former leader became prime minister. yitzhak shamir the formulae he commander became speaker of the israeli parliament

the knesset. i've never given up rather. than begin with and show me a target. for this is not really unusual except that show me a will of an honest to goodness door with the rich begin with not. show me a war than. lead best lead. undergone operations. under a palestinian uprising the first intifada provoked a brutal reaction. the. ops say if those stop these horses of the riots or

for ink stalls or wounding people it's useless. in one thousand nine hundred ninety two israeli politics veered to chop the left. sacked rabin leader of the labor party came to power as prime minister. he quickly began to secure peace deals after decades of struggled with the arabs. were. but right wing extremism was still alive in israel. and in november one thousand nine hundred ninety five while attending a peace rally in tel of nice sooner or. gets hacked rabin like bernadotte paid the ultimate price for the pursuit of. he was killed

by one of his own countrymen. a peace which had seemed within reach. it was once again snatched away. in sweden the memory of fall to bernadotte has faded. except in this place. the royal palace in stockholm. on the twenty fifth of february two thousand and twelve king called gustav of sweden announced that his newborn granddaughter would be called estelle.

is there was a wife for a man. and to me it's a clear rare demonstration that they want in some way to. do honor of battle and if so this baby would have been and always i guess he would have made for a. second in line to the throne and princess estelle may one day be queen of sweden. or christening has rekindled public interest in by an adult's life story. but in this house in gothenburg there is one man for whom the count story has been a life's work. in one nine hundred fifty seven son

a person was a member of a swedish un but tiny and guarding the armistice line between egypt and israel. this his first contact with the struggle in the middle east would shape the remainder of his life. first of all i left the truth. so now i. try to to satish. up girl. accept i. can't. so i'm at. the script oh. and we had a couple of. them paralyzed.

hello there we've had a fair few showers over the eastern parts of australia recently the satellite picture is picking them up here just around the sydney area that thing extremely heavy recently and behind that system is going to turn a bit cooler than it has been so for us in melbourne that don't choose a way to get around thirteen and that cooler air continues its journey eastwards towards sydney as we head into wednesday and our maximum this time will just be fourteen adelaide though will see the temperatures begin to rise will get to around twenty three and force in person who made the changes for us all temperatures up a of course in new zealand pretty stormy at the moment lots of very strong winds

lots of heavy rain and a fair amount of snow was well this latest system is trying to pull away but as it does so another weather system is approaching from the south this will bring a snow to really quite low levels as we head through chews day night and into wednesday could be some snow practically on the coast of entry though as we head through wednesday things will begin to calm down and will begin to brighten up as well now further towards the north and forth across japan there's a lot of heavy rain as we head through tuesday really does it very wet for many of us in honshu that's clearing through pretty quickly though so by wednesday we should be back with the sunshine and tokyo will be up to around twenty one degrees for the west to expect one or two showers there in beijing. when i think of my church i think of potential when i think of potential i think. but it's not i think people.

told me it's impossible i think the challenge. is my child. and this is my. my my on al jazeera. this is the al jazeera news hour live from london coming up. to provide syria's government forces with a sophisticated air defense system the u.s. calls the decision a significant escalation urges moscow to reconsider. his plans for

a second summit with north korea as he meets south korea need to move on the sidelines of the un general assembly. celebrating a change of direction of the most president concedes defeat. ten years for the new democracy. and i'm here with all the sporting clothing moderate. to be named. player. for. the u.s. as warned right. but it's causing a significant escalation by deploying new advanced missiles to syria the kremlin is sending an s. three hundred missile defense system to president bashar al assad a week off to one of its planes was shot down in a friendly fire incident u.s.

national security adviser john bolton has encouraged moscow to reconsider on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the decision will increase dangers in the region or a challenge has more from moscow. russia's s three hundred the air defense system that's russia has held off from supplying to the syrian military until now. we're getting it within two weeks a modern surface to air missile system the s three hundred will be handed over it's capable of intercepting air assault weapons on a range of more than two hundred fifty kilometers and at the same time can hit multiple aerial targets having an advanced facility and high fire rate the system will strengthen syrian air defense combat capabilities significantly defense minister sure you gave a little down to why the russians have changed their position but you're cool it is you that has them going to let me make a point at the request of the israeli side and twenty thirteen we halted delivery

of the s three hundred which is ready to be shipped to syria while syrian service personnel were given appropriate training today the situation has changed not by our fault the defense ministry holds israel responsible for the deaths of fifteen military personnel a week ago that reconnaissance plane was misidentified and mistakenly shot down by syrian air defense admits the confusion of his radio strikes and israeli military delegation sent to moscow last thursday failed to convince the russians it was their fault. but interesting aspects of this rift is the way the ministry of defense approach differs from that taken by the kremlin the m.o.d.e. has kept pushing the view that israel is culpable but. his spokesperson have been soft pedaling saying it was just an unfortunate accident and that the este three hundred decision is not a that israel. israel has previously been able to count on russia turning

a blind eye to its airstrikes inside syria of which there have been some two hundred in recent years but if damascus really does get its hands on s three hundreds the israel. military will have to rethink its tactics is the first time in the history of the conflict that we see the the syrian defense is equipped with the mother in. a missile that can deprive the israeli air force from their freedom of movement in the syrian air space part is not just the israelis who will be affected by the booth u.s. national security adviser john bolton has called it a beige a mistake any other country operating in the region will now have to realize that syrian airspace isn't theirs to use it will rory chalons al-jazeera moscow the very mention the assad government in syria has long wanted to get its hands on the s.

three hundred missile defense system but russia held off providing it due to israeli pressure so what exactly is the s. three hundred was primarily a long range missile defense system designed to intercept enemy aircraft cruise missiles and ballistic missiles at ranges of up to four hundred kilometers it's been around a long time first of it in the old soviet union and coming to surface in one nine hundred seventy eight there are several versions far more advanced than the original models what they all have in common is they're mounted on trucks so they can be spread easily over a wide area the syrians will also be provided with special tracking systems that can identify with certainty whether a plane is russian or not let's go to washington d.c. and speak to mark's makowski he's a senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center a specializes in defense policy so tell me a bit about this system and how much difference on the ground you think it will really make. you know this is an advanced system that the syrians have been seeking

to get their hands on for many years russia essentially halted the delivery because of israeli concerns and wider concerns about the stability in the region coolie moscow has made the political decision based on this shoot down of its airplane that there is no no need to withhold this equipment in the future obviously moscow i think also is growing frustrated with israeli impunity and striking syria and so this is to send a message that israeli actions are going to be limited in the near future because they're going to take into consideration a much more highly advanced anti aircraft or missile system and there's been quite strong pushback from israel netanyahu said it's providing advanced weapons system to irresponsible act as it will magnify dangers in the region john bolton as we've heard saying it would cause a significant escalation how likely i mean it is there any chance the russians will change the mind of this is now actually going to happen. i think it will happen i

think the russians though of course have promised the system in the past on several occasions those promises have been left unfulfilled so there is a chance based on deaf to israeli diplomacy and potential. engagement from other actors that russia can choose to not send the system i think it's unlikely at the very senior level they've announced plans to do so i think the scope of that assistance also could differ in pact what happens the russians could send several systems they could limit their deployment to almost a test system that would really change the operational picture on the ground so there it remains to be seen how and when russia will fulfill its commitment but i think it is going to use this system to showcase its displeasure and also push back on giving israel less room to maneuver and striking syrian and iranian targets in syria yet we don't know on that front i'm in israel origines wouldn't a survey admit to striking targets in syria now it's become much more obvious that they that they have been where do you think that leaves their position in the

region the minute they do they have a plan b. for. the kind of matches you just described the kind of impact they want to have. you know the israeli military has always been prepared for this potential eventuality they've trained likely against some of the advanced technological elements of the s three hundred they obviously have prepared potentially for russia to transfer and iran and israel have military plans to counter the s. three hundred they are not going to stop striking targets that they view as threatening to their national interests i believe they're going to pursue likely a tactical pause in the next few days and weeks where they will limit their operational activity because of russian sensitivity as well as a concern of escalating the situation further but absolutely you will continue to see israeli strikes at a time of their choosing in syria iran but of course the likelihood or the chance

of an israeli plane being shot down will increase after this three hundred is delivered it's a much more capable system and i feel so that the russians will be facilitating additional assistance to their syrian allies to ensure that the next israeli plane over syria is unable to escape as easily as it has in the past and what about the u.s. in terms of their defense policy with regards to syria what do you think they will do as a result of this you know i think there is no coincidence that nash through visor bolton said that as long as iranian troops remain in syria that the united states is also going to remain in syria he made that statement in conjunction with concerns expressed about the s. three hundred so i think obviously the united states is trying to send a signal that as russia escalates its position militarily in the region that it will make it further difficult for the united states or remove its own commitments to syria and of course the united states will ultimately protect an ally if it is

really playing a shot by an s. three hundred you could see a potential escalation by the united states to support israel and support israeli capabilities as well. thank you very much indeed if you announce a thank you. well leaders are gathering in new york for the united nations general assembly on the sidelines u.s. president donald trump about south korean leader moon jane to discuss plans for a second summit with north korea when it said he brought trump a personal message from the north korean leader kim jong un in trump praised as open and terrific company set to address the general assembly on tuesday as is the iranian leader hassan rouhani tension is increased between the two powers for an attack in the iranian city of of us our diplomatic editor james bays has more rice

they are words that will go down in the history of the united nations the united states has great strength and patience but if it is forced to defend itself or its our eyes we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea the far the rhetoric by donald trump in his first visit here is u.s. president stunned diplomats a year on relations between north korea and the u.s. we improved but no one expects the u.s. president will spend three days this time at the u.n. to be much more restrained. this year watch what happens in the united nations is most powerful body the security council around the horseshoe table where ambassadors normally sit they'll be presidents and prime ministers although russia and china will only be sending their foreign ministers as the us happens to have a monthly rotating presidency president trump will chair the meeting and it's

already clear this year he has iran in his sights the fact earlier in the year he finally pulled the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal and agreement the u.s. and its allies had made with iran to end its nuclear program in twenty fifteen while the other signatories are still technically in the deal it looks to be in deep trouble when i ask the un secretary general antonio could terrorists about it he didn't sound confident it would survive is it dead or it's not clear i think a lot of contacts have been taking place a lot of negotiations have been taking place between different members they. and so i think that is an effort u.s. secretary of state might pompei i will also chair a security council meeting the day after president trump this time on north korea the situation has changed dramatically in a year trump seems to trust kim jong un the contrast with his approach to iran is something likely to be causing much discussion.
