and actually with my boss tom started back that we could do this and i kept him. updated throughout the. talks but he did not participate in any of the talks but they went back we were very active both on the phone in order then because they didn't obviously didn't speak to each other then so we were sort of the message is growing. to the two of them went through us and of course we also then tested out i mean certain things either for the palestinians today as well is that why it's worse or maybe do you think you could accept if we did like days so we do like they said i mean these kinds of things they were able to play these very senior people off a soldier. and of a general meaning if we needed coffee the deputy minister for the first would have

come with coffee if we needed an idea he would come with idea if we needed that somebody would speak with him for mr kristol first state department so the same man who brought us coffee were also able to speak with christopher which is from our point of view was a classical environment allowing us to dictate what should be the world and it was perfect it was the best in his book the new middle east shimon peres wrote the new we germans were a gift from heaven. after the first round of talks the israelis began drafting what they called a declaration of principles the second meeting which took place some three form weeks later was from my point of view the most crucial meeting to make. this meeting of two sides into a channel and what happened was that we came with the people. this one show was discussed today in the building so the paper and indorsed it

because the nordica all slow is that you started with an assist and then you postponed the most difficult hoping that the parties would find a way as they walked that road to resolve their more difficult issues all. difficult questions. of security jerusalem palestinian refugees borders you name it all of them are taken up. and they should not be discussed. for hale no the government will not need to own how long in the head here. so for learn yet to come a journalist though of what should i asked it was. self rule called palestinians in gaza in the schools and carrick up on the it was self rule so i think the five specific area education

health belanger them up in the either head there will be in the end two would come to correlate with the leadership in. thought that a newcomer. nor feed. on him over to deal follows the new deal through knowing that you don't see at the head. of one all what are the. search we already know that the palestinians are on their own life and on an environment have government to solve in all slow the problems that we had in the negotiations in washington which led us to know my counterpart beilin whom i kept contact with swore that enormous progress was made in the talks with abu allah who was

a real leader on the p.l.o. side and would not have made his concessions without knowing and clearing it. was also on board throughout. the talks continued in sops muslim two days a month. meanwhile the official public negotiations in washington d.c. came to an abrupt halt when israel expelled four hundred palestinians to march on zahoor in southern lebanon. obama yanni. human and knew the help you must lower than most oh you mean what was due to. the show lee. elbaz sent word to tel aviv that arafat's approved israel's first proposal that the p.l.o. should have a foothold in the gaza strip and of jericho specifically the benefits that lead to

. a peace process and not go beyond that by far the very look at work there what we reached in the first four months was a document which you called the south of the document which was a full out going to few pre-negotiation document we never thought that this document could be signed by the senior thought that maybe. i should have asked the american embassy and us no to fix me up with a secure line to state department so i went up there and had what update to them two three times on progress towards the the sub spoke gov the initial draft agreement that was february one thousand nine hundred three was february and march and april where we did these things and was talking about even gave the the original.

draft first version of the ostrow agreement if you like to warren christopher. and he was very interested in this fellow u.s. secretary of state warren christopher was monitoring both the secret all slow and the official washington negotiations the israelis decided after eighteen months that the washington talks were not going to reach agreement ited states is here along with our core sponsors of the russian government to play our role or partners in this process to assist in any way we can parties to go she asian forward we always for anything that would. make life easier. provided. security and color sustained you don't know how frustrated we are. we. we came here with

a strong as with. the show our intention about peace. but certainly we cannot bear the responsibility of continuing with the peace process that's not promising anything and i want to. the must work with local for saddam and for the steam. parliament going to have their out of an owner before that of others though but he knew anything about the channel and whenever there was a ledge we immediately jointly were able to quiet it we were all course criticized for this secrecy. but with out the secrecy it would not have worked at all. the norwegian prime minister announcing the departure of a foreign minister about to begin a new role as un peace maker friend in formative years. i hope. so. i didn't

really want to have all and that both to quoth i would like to see the process through. because i was then they optimistic stoltenberg successor as foreign minister was his brother in law former defense minister johan you're going holst holst had been a strong supporter of israel since the early seventy's on your going on sports very keenly he asked for us to do whatever we call it to make progress he had already had signals from tower yeah but lawson and no not you who of course knew him well through my on the hay bag his wife who worked at farfel in new enough. i briefly. from. him messages of when they asked. they did some in the beginning.

from bulk of them but the evil buyer. for this shannon was off today that it may after mr holst because instead of one if s. the israelis also introduced a new face at the oslo talks the general manager of the foreign ministry who reserve beer when form is the purpose asked me to look at this document and potentially but this appeared in this channel i was very glad i think that something good happened to the people they finally began to see that the armed struggle will lead them nowhere. that's actually the biggest enemy is their biggest ally and partner is when. they met for the first time up at the am out of small cottage. home called mr famous ski jump and this

new area i. just lived outside also last left that at home i could tell that is out next and only so weird with it where did he stay i think instead of now or our flat that that night that's right that's right yeah i'm a big believer in secret negotiations so at the end the public knows the outcome and not the intermediary concessions. and therefore we knew we had about two three months. instruments we did it. in this hotel they all slowed arisa via used his first meeting with the palestinians to stress three deal breaking israeli conditions. first no negotiations over jerusalem or the return of refugees. second no u.n. involvement or international arbitration. and third that the public facing

washington talks continue in parallel with the secret negotiations. the palestinians accepted all three. brother. martin who are sort of a journalist you know one of the much more of a good than looked on as a where i'm going to have are no more like him her if you have to look at a year or two from one period is listening to problem unmarketable are being far so large a sum of all did or school is in a good. single contribution was to ask hundreds of questions on the other side to really understand what what this would mean how p.l.o. would treat this what would be their them as a counterpart they i think felt it was quite offensive in one way to be

interrogated like that men women are still it after middle how two are the most potent in from an article it is to do when i was alone as. the new father not far learned to have them out of who is of this to part of him now isn't a good enough look at the. joy of i don't matter and my food. and money limit. well as for the studio our lawyer joel singer acted as a legal advisor to the israeli ministry of defense following his first meeting with the palestinians he headed to vienna to meet paras two of bill is going back form of dinner and you're wakes up and he looks at him and i say i. said foreign minister if we don't make an immediate deal with these people we are complete complete idiots. five months later in july nine hundred ninety three in

the resort of how visible singer presented be amended declaration of principles document setting out the details of palestinian autonomy. it clearly stated that autonomy wouldn't include the settlements military zones or jerusalem and that israel would remain in charge of security and the protection of settlers. so what you're saying or did he deconstructed it made it into a document with the legal aspect the palestinians one should understand were shocked because suddenly all things that they were saying but they were waiting to see them were black and white and it was a tough day for them. the palestinian delegation saw all the serious implications of singers document and so returned to cuba to confer with the p.l.o.

leadership. wanted to enlarge the jericho area into the jordan river so it would have certain hold on his relationship with jordan. and that was quite an argument when certain surratt is of the council etc and like him ever negotiations comes the end game the end game was conducted by also going to tunis tunis clock in feel normal i'm fair to argue for you. can use. a bomb on a. lead here i mean one hundred julio bored out of a photo held of song or down and be. done in a while when i'm assuming there are thirty who are judged done or could barely be. sore and you know it was very very useful then to that to to have the

opportunity to discuss these issues also directly with arafat and and we were then sort of also able to communicate that. to this well off meetings with our part. last year went back to jerusalem to the whole israeli team i'm told this for a list everything arafat's pub on the bottom and even a letter written by hall just himself not even i looked for a letter i think eleven pages been minutes from the meeting giving the letter on the minutes word by word. of arafat's opinions where he thought he can help something or lose something all this was given to describe this it was

more sort of a judgment on where the palestinians. in particular where are. sort of the whole idea reaching in agreement on the organ holes was a very mush of writing and he all of us who wrote saying said he well almost everything himself i mean working for him was very difficult working without a realist every kesey here every time when they went to meetings in the first thing them on the plane he sat down and he wrote his impressions and so so that was the ways that oh he worked so he was very much a personal letter. so this letter was handed to mr paris at that time yeah yeah. extracts of these letters later appeared in personal memoirs but no official record of the contents has ever been found in the norwegian foreign ministry.

no copies nothing from the period or twentieth of january when he started until the end of august it was enough it was no documents no memos just nothing from what actually mingle norm in these secret project. we found out the dark tower here last night he house has admitted that he many of these secret documents himself. ant and he refuses to give them back to the only expense like to do secret negotiations negotiations through a ministry is very difficult because it has to be written reports lots of people

would have to know about it if you do it with a research institute you can have this the tiny little group of people and there's no duty to report in writing so and this is also how the secrecy. was kept the secret holes to paris conversations led them to believe that the time had come to finalize a deal. paris headed to stockholm to resolve the outstanding point on the phone at the castle in sweden we are opening actually a hotline was there and there was invite invites the norwegian foreign minister and talia larsen and now you would have to be the go between there sitting in the walk together with your single our father and his team mind to a nice fear lately. that was. saying. that i'm not one more believe in the following the journey she min.

dramatic was i could no. more of a mess in one fees i. can more than one of them in a spot. a bomb of the sort of father could she be methley there like yanni . to be you know. that one scene of course if. they have. went down the how that unfitness. overcomes. why i said i was for confucius lebanon the most important. obama. holds also was talking to us of.

and first could hear on the phone for the first time our father and his people and this is this this of six of those seven issues all the outstanding issues from the six rounds of secret negotiations in june and july in no way were resolved in this seven hour phone call between stocco and judas. in his book mood abbas later recalled a seven hour phone call ended the conflict of the twentieth century the palestinian people took their first steps towards freedom and emancipation that cole achieved what couldn't be done in twenty months of futile negotiations in washington. let me a problem on that. in this the weather committee the leafless the most delicate of two or were there who did know yeah i mean

had the it go emo you have a mature i love that we may be in that it the one who will move i think whom i'm moderately good will more who are above that in a powerful above all of the years out there him in lieu or if you have a strong and weak party this strong party is the strongest in this is the reality of the world and if then you have a strong party that is backed by either superpower of the word the united states it makes that strong party even stronger. in this government guest house in all slow and in absolute secrecy the declaration of principles was initially by both sides. the secret signing was filmed by norwegian intelligence and the footage later used in a documentary for public t.v.

in no way. being much more emotional than we had thought i mean he felt this was astronomical in the way that he would be greeted by one of the the leaders of official s. right. ward of the guild summon me the soviet for homeless little what about among . peers as you leave the school would you go you will sing no they'll go she won't smell i'm a yoke or go first so one can do so many and before is so hosts who slew. after midnight they negotiate this coming to the government guest house and then shimon peres is a witness. as the official and the shelling happens with. salvia and. signing this you're on you're going horst

more not-i and i stand that behind them. we have them the what we call the secret police at the bend time then do the side of the that the film the filming of the radio. and you have such a prepared a little speeches you feel proud to say up and over only hope mother rented interleaved it oh oh operation openness of filming domino barriers and building up new co-operative engines structures if you will remember.

we are always there. if you ever again don't need our service. the task is yours on the first. opening the doors of ease and honest striving to achieve co-operation your people are lucky to have leaders like you. at the birth you're also lucky to have a voice like that. working. shimon perez and mr holst and. two of his staffers and julian my sons we flew secret secretly it's a military base in august nineteenth in august one nine hundred ninety three. in. point mugu and in california i mean it's such

a relief because one christopher. looked at it. turn to today. then is what do you think and then then. i think this is great and i think. the declaration of principles said that the goal of the israeli palestinian negotiations was to establish a palestinian authority for a transitional period of up to five years. which would begin with the israeli withdrawal from the gaza strip and jericho. and israeli forces were to be redeployed outside the populated area. the final negotiations were to start in year three. israel has to continue to be responsible for external security the

safety of settlements and the overall safety of the israelis. there is a bit in my your background that was good before going to see you back home got up this chair for hyderabad to shafi i asked the palestinian negotiating teams legal advisor in washington francis boyle to assess the declaration wording published in the newspapers boyle replied that it was the same declaration of principles that they rejected in washington it's a limited autonomy of the inhabitants he said without any control over the land. abhishek afy sent boils comments to arafat but he never received a reply this is. the mixture of previous. months that the us than any other ship in the occupied territories always refuse to

sign it. and i think edwards. said it in. a couple of r.t. also that he role in the arabic and english before before the signing took place. and i think he was deeply shocked. having read the declaration of principles in these articles edward saeed wrote that the p.l.o. had reduced itself from a national liberation movement to a small municipality it was what he called the decay of the p.l.o. leadership against the coming of israel. who live you thought your thought in should be. in you had to get in is that enough. that the fittest but the amount of heart that is about really a lesser beg. the for the well philistine in your second holocaust was is basically

we're not just divorced looking. to give it to the facility we are not bombing. doing. that after the news of the secret all slow negotiations had been leaked it was inevitable that the two sides would bring things into the public arena israel started to use the norwegians to demand further concessions. you're seeing. there was no no no to persuade you that the fish before us the. good to me fill a shopping list. to complete the mutual recognition israel stipulated that the p.l.o. not only renounce terrorism but also commit to prevent all forms of violence and terrorism and it encourage the palestinians to have a normal relationship with israel from now on arafat agreed and holst flew to tunis

to witness arafat signing these letters that i was glad that walk up the mall is that the moment i'm not going to they're not i'm going to have a family member and there's a good thing that. they don't wait for my point of view the exchange of letters some more importantly. because the exchange of letters is doing the story the shift . the norwegians celebrated with peres and severe in israel. rabin announced that based on the p.l.o. those commitments israel now recognize the p.l.o. and agreed to negotiate with them. back in tunis the p.l.o. established the palestinian authority which would gradually become the umbrella organization for the palestinians. ladies and gentlemen mr arafat chairman of the executive council of the palestine liberation organization is excellent c. rypien prime minister of israel the president of the united states.

the if you didn't wish to. be there. let the. feel. as film. commercially how the injured as a largely. refute common eleven carpenter common man of pluck by the handle it differ but there are. a lot of good will but that your comment the doors are opening for yasser arafat at the u.s. state department champagne and laughter swapping autographs with the israelis and handshakes with secretary of state christopher then as to that they have an agreement with israel it will bring them closer to washington. and we understand that if you make an agreement it can be grabbed and it will open up relations to

the arab world this was egypt. it was a strategic deal we were accepted by the world relations been us and our board moved the much equally into the stuff we source embassies it's authority this immediately allowed to jordan has to enter into serious negotiation with is leading a julieta into a peace agreement with us in jordan we accepted with the palestinians through all sorts of forms of force that we were not accepted before huge investments came to is for. mega companies into chinese japanese everybody came. and you're going to host died four months later. your holst and norway played an essential part in helping to turn the middle east from a cauldron of hostility into

a cradle of hole later in one nine hundred ninety four arafat's peres and rabin what all of your did the nobel peace prize in those low. knew you was new to the norwegian embassy in israel and her husband tony at all glossy to the un working for the palestinians responsibility for monitoring the terms of all slope and therefore now passed to the israeli army not only were not invited to negotiate but i would say that also advise at that time was just evaporating some work a even yossi beilin was a bit pushed aside not only os it was given more to the military more to the army more to the security services the military the ship of israel was for the first time exposed to palestinians in negotiations and abbas of the secret army and just the whole philistine they were killing them the illicit. while the last while

the analysis of it is the deontological and how. why but let the set in and are met with us he's not most of them want all of whom have had their leg. that go off with the burden werman what then see if i'm liam in. the book now wholly in new york and who will more then of for more than an awfully. lonely. well you either could walk around here posting leadership at both the event of a topic that is going to have a fuck. off or he maybe he gave too many whole sections to the senior people who got used to him giving up by the end of the morning and they expected him to.

do something. thank you very much mr. gates that they are not the negotiations. in a couple of hours all of those who received libby the whole of the. you know for the student you kill beast where you can do nothing imo you would be the number one in this game show me to log only people on social media now for the stinney. that saw them do you know you would get under it and if in your home. statement is the law they were the first to know that more of them could they would have understood him and what. could. be a year. that would have cost him still could live it it see. and now we understand that wow what a oxford delicate luck and america all handed the letter in. the not

our in order don't ask harry yet whether deadly legit she had an illegal israeli settlement of the west bank has continued since one thousand nine hundred three. palestinians believe that the oslo accords ultimately benefited israel more than themselves and that this expansion on the ground is part of the price they are paid for as low. draw it is an israeli expert on the settlements and he tracks their development. the west bank constitutes one fifth the area of historic palestine today at least six hundred thousand illegal israeli settlers live in the occupied palestinian territories that is in the west bank and east jerusalem. but also agreement is actually the best thing which happened to be israeli settlers and israeli settlement enterprise because it created exactly the. basic

conditions which this kind of project can bloom and while the palestinian population was supposedly taken care of by the p.a. and there was supposedly some kind of a peace process. conducted with the. p.l.o. and israel. sixty percent of the west bank remain open for israeli developers this is exactly what you see here. it's. a period which israel had intensively and effectively used in order to over triple the number of israeli settlers in the west bank and to change completely completely . you reversibility the west bank that's good. another good example is of course the bypass system which is just under house was sold by persist and was created

after also there were every year is between ninety nine free and two which is really population growth in the west bank reached the face of the fastest pace of growth ever it was vizier's. the entire almost the entire bypass system that was spec the parallel road system the power and water system the power electricity system was built in the us they actually hardly have to see any apps today in their commuting on a daily commuting between the settlement and jerusalem. one cannot underestimate how important the bypass system was for the development of this all suburbian reality which was created in the west bank and thereby persistent effective modern fission transportation infrastructure is a precondition for the development of this kind of communities.

best advantage of the decor to caffie able to organise to fund his digital to going to just a moment a little involved a little juice should his the right to enter israel and to become citizens this is my view is that. now if there is a majority of palestinians and. this is the end of this zionist idea he'll want to hop in business be ill have that from a lot of big. water who limit to him and know how the law that is to kenya how well email you need another poll last. clearly destructive do you believe that that or how they knocked apart the yeah the philistia tan was stiff now and full on sort of so can the collimator your uncanny doubly i you shall be a catalyst to learn what there is in mosul that left a little bit and yet it difficult yet there must. thank you the fuck are you bought

in a book london mclachlan the genie really ellipticals about when or slow and i love you not the focus of a shallow nature and of us alone either who are divorced professional to man the midst of the steam well i can now can and has hunter ma'am and mr miller at the facility sorry she said there were hundreds of those who are here in or who are that are not for the city and a lot of. our limit of how dangerous. well i can has a mark whitman vertical. for seven hours that will have the number for a lot of exam for some a daughter more of them of the hook at the head of what's on the side of the good will of particular. person as i'm a southern r.c. and the oslo accords were an achievement and the role of norway crucial but

they all timidly proved to be a stage in the peace process and the search for a just and lasting peace in the middle east still continues today. al jazeera world travels to the lebanese city of tripoli. to meet the widows living in one of the world's most ancient refuges. more than seven hundred years old it's still up holds the charitable tradition of sheltering those with no means of supporting themselves the widows sanctuary on al-jazeera.

on iran as u.s. president donald trump chairs a u.n. security council session on weapons of mass destruction. if you can't negotiate a deal then you need to make way for a party that chance and well. the leader of the u.k.'s labor party rejects to rescind may's proposed brags of plan saying his party can do better. protests in the occupied west bank against the us decision to cut funding that helps palestinian refugees in sports tiger woods sends out a ryder cup warning to his european rivals the former world number one says he's back to his best as the u.s. team and for a first win in europe for twenty five years. stay to the united nations general assembly but world leaders in new york are preparing for what many expect to be

a critical day at the security council in the coming hour u.s. president donald trump will chair the un's most powerful gathering of world leaders for the first time the topic nuclear chemical and biological weapons he's expected to take another aim at iran already trump's been trading barbs with the country's leadership. iran's leaders so as. death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders with the sovereign rights of nations. instead iran's leaders plunder the nation's resources. to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond i watched closely will be the iranian president hassan rouhani in his address to the general assembly on tuesday he accused of economic terrorism with his newly imposed sanctions dollar latte on argument the

government of the us at least the current administration seems determined to render all international institutions ineffectual unlawful unilateral sanctions in themselves constitute a form of economic terrorism and a breach of the right to development the economic war the us has initiated under the rubric of new sanctions not only targets the iranian people but also entails harmful repercussions for the people of other countries. as amos ravi is in the iranian capital tehran for us but first we'll go live to our diplomatic editor james base at the u.n. headquarters in new york's against this particular security council session is not focused on one on one particular country but president trump has rarely passed up an opportunity to criticize iran does this forum offer another platform in which to do so. yes the focus of the meeting according to the u.s. officially is on nuclear biological and chemical weapons but president trump

already treated last week that he wants to have a security council meeting on iran so i think we know what he's going to speak about the u.s. happens to be the president of the security council and that is why they've decided to have this meeting not the normal meeting where ambassadors are president but a meeting where leaders are present i can tell you there will be five presidents one vice president two prime ministers one deputy prime minister one state's counselor who's also a foreign minister and five other foreign ministers around the security council table this is the list they pulled the names out of a drawer this is the order of speakers but it's also in precedence because of protocol so the president speaks first and president trump as the person who's the president of the security council this month will speak first after opening the meeting after gaveling in the meeting in exactly one hour's time so a very important moment to watch there what he has to say on iran iran will not be present at the security council meeting it's only the fifteen members of the

security council to get to speak they will not be sitting in the chamber i understand from iranian sources there was staying away from the security council chamber but then watch for a response from the iranians because the iranian president hassan rouhani out one a cock eastern time here in the u.s. seven hundred g.m.t. will be giving a news conference and then at the end of the day here in new york also watch again president trump because he gets a chance to give a news conference five pm new york time twenty one hundred g.m.t. so very important day and the focus very much on iran and james what are we likely to hear from the other representatives on the security council because as you reported on the speeches the day before we heard of a different turn for example from the friendship president. and it's going to be so interesting because they have very different worldviews the way the world should be what one certainly emanuel macron believes in multilateralism he believes in

things like the paris climate deal that donald trump pulled out of and particularly with regard to the days of debate in the security council he believes in the iran nuclear deal remember that was a deal made by the six countries with iran six countries representing the international community the u.s. was one of those countries donald trump earlier this year did what he said for a long time he was going to do he pulled out of that deal the other five countries are trying to keep the deal going they know the u.s. are going to put sanctions in place they are trying to find ways to work around those sanctions are right when that does happen we are of course me coming back to you for the moment james bays lifeless there u.n. headquarters in new york let's go to say misrata who's life worse in the iranian capital tehran so what are they been saying there in this war of words that's been going on between leaders and two countries. well he wasn't

the first bit of reaction in teheran to the happenings in new york the first a bit of official reaction has come from the head of the very powerful organization here the iranian revolutionary guard corps the head of that organization mohammad ali jaafari spoke out in support of his president today and said that he can confirm that rouhani president hassan rouhani of iran did not request a meeting with u.s. president donald trump and it's a very significant thing for him to come out and say that at this moment the fallout from the collapse of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal the j.c.b. away the joint comprehensive plan of action that president hassan rouhani is government really championed has made his government and him very unpopular so he cannot be seen by his own people extending a hand to the very man that scuttled the deal that pulled the united states out of it a few months ago now as jeffrey spoke you know he's a very influential figure in the i.r.g.c. which is a very influential institution here in iran and so he was reassuring the iranian

people and at some point even speaking for them let me read you a little bit of what he said he said mr trump the people of iran are sure that your claim of the iranian president requesting to meet with you is a big lie like your other allies so for joffrey to be seen speaking directly to the u.s. president in defense of the iranian president is a very significant thing at this very sensitive time for the country so certainly his comments are no small thing. all right zain describing live for us there in tehran deicing. the president also used his address to isolate old allies and make new friends such as mike hanna has that. not many leaders mysis speaking slots at the u.n. general assembly. but president trump chose to take questions on his way in we're doing a really great remained seated we have the speakers list was hurriedly rearranged

to make up for the delay. punctuality not the only norm ignored the rain clouds gathering over the united nations heralded a new weekly isolationist american policy outlined within one in which old allies was sharply criticized germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course the german delegation scoffed one member vigorously chewing gum while president trump went on to embrace new friends there is saudi arabia where king solomon and the crown prince are pursuing bold new reforms this the day after embracing another leader accused of human rights violations the endorsement of an egyptian president to speak a risky pursued a policy of arbitrary detention of journalists and political opponents and off to the public praise of that emir putin earlier this year it was noted there was no

criticism of russia in president trumps u.n. address despite the condemnation of what is seen as illegal russian actions by close u.s. allies like the u.k. and france the french president then arguing passionately for grating meant with the iranian leadership a short while after president trump demonized it donald trump was only four months old when the first step at a united nations general assembly debate took place in queens the place of his birth. that's just over the east river from where the united nations now stands on medication then u.s. president harry s. truman described the gathering of world leaders as symbolizing and i quote the abandonment by the united states of a policy of isolation isolation may not be the policy this president pursues but as a consequence of what he says and does it may well be the result mike hanna al-jazeera

united nations of the spread of tuberculosis in developing countries is also the focus of this year's events at the u.n. south africa has the second highest rate of tb infections in africa and while there's been a seven percent decrease in the number of infections cases of a drug resistant strain are on the rise from e-mail reports now from cape town. bennett visits to book yellow says patients in the township in the wisdom gate oh how i knew my daddy knows it in bed has been treating this patient with three months and says she's seen an improvement but she's worried about contracting the highly infectious diseases self. government combine must give as a something like. a medication that you can take our us over to get it is from the patient what the fish and you had to do with it that i have to get to see if they can be coughing and you can stop them to call for it daily i think it's both not is

that for us. stopped caring for tb patients which you can track to the disease two years ago she says she's still not fully recovered and contract on to work tb experts in south africa say healthcare walk is three times more likely to contract . and this is what a sin overcrowded and under-resourced public hospitals in fiction control is inconsistent tuberculosis has been the leading cause of death in south africa for the postie kate according to the department of health sixty people die from tb every day even though countries like going live now to the president trump at the u.n. he was addressing reporters we understand was listening well. i want people to be safe with me here in venezuela visit here that is what was happening in venezuela just refuse to be easier to what. it was when my life was not on my plate
