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 add up jewish problem fellas. after a conference in london last 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 offices in a bomb attack. six days later the whole world is descended into war. the name egypt we called off its campaign. so as not to hinder britain's fight against what they called the jews' greatest enemy in the world. german nazi is. but within a splinter group now emerged led by a man determined to fight on. of a hamster thought that britain was a greater enemy of the jews than darth suit 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 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 and stumble 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 see 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 one to 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 the dog would come watch the game in the other door. at the high god now became more extreme with other beatrice able to go and so the whole process became more extreme. 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 bombs at 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. 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.

in the early 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 rosamond 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 israel 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 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 required for complete with the departure of the last high commissioner of palestine the british mandate was a. deed of that 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 was 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 the 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 estelle. in a pointed to echo of the white buses campaign bernadotte had his specially chartered plane painted white with the un and red cross markings. into the account but it is cut by united nations as last hope mediator it was a record every time he did it rated him above suspicion of advantage of it in tel aviv his best. 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 here that 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 here mounts to a four week truce. if it had been a food federal politician knowing all the tricks i'm not sure he would have succeeded better because. they were surprised of his 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 for the 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 drooled and. 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 open a u.n. resolution that this is a humanitarian right that can't be ignored with no limits or numbers the complete and immediate right to return. and bernadotte 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 agree to something like that. under bernadotte supplanting 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.

count's. the greek island of rhodes. a world heritage site today it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in. rose's 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 to 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 but he's had as a put this all and i put it all that i was allowed to travel with him in the with a friends go. to jerusalem. but i was told to stay the course.

bernadotte had come to jerusalem to meet the israeli foreign minister moshe charrette israel's response to burne adopts plan was 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 he wanted to impress on the security council's the urgent need for firm and decisive action. action. that united nations and. palestine and. that was set up. and. that. sort of thing and that it's ok. played.

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. i can share and share in that but often they didn't have anything that would convince 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 reported 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 of winter so 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 folk and bernadotte. nothing here lemole voted against the assassination of then the door. doctor he said i have. voted for this nation and he thought show me

a cost he's 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 his three car convoy arrived at the mandelbaum dates. the crossing points into the weston jewish part of jerusalem. waiting at the gates was

a liaison officer assigned to him by the israeli government. captain moshi. or their 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 the 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 good lord daughter. 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 maché and puncture the tires of the vehicles in front. 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 he 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 that had carried him in search of news. 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 is 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 good stuff 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 of emotion they all share yeah my dad went to macheda dianne 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 we're 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 rhodes between israel and a terrible 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 then of the want of 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 designers ten palestinians would have been a better more able to find the common future for palestine the one for the 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 sday baka. 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 bingo real 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 find any or he wanted to find him to crush him 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 but very humiliated when the rightwing switched 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 devil 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. arabs say if those stop these forces 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 struggle 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 fulcrum 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 the venerable and. to me it's a clear rare demonstration that they want in some way to. do honor called battle and if this baby would have been and always i guess he would have made for the. 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 asked the truth. so now i think. that the right to scottish. up girl. act that i. can't. so i have that. script oh. and we had a couple of. them pillars.

for us but it's ok. i have. not displayed. that dissertation mediation and assassination was the start of a lifetime's work. on a person whose books and articles have ensured that folk a bun adults place in history will not be forgotten. they were the inspiration for this film. i've i've. i've

a perfect formula for authoritarianism and me here let me ask you straight up korea is the two state solution now that the lights are on and there's nowhere to hide up front for times on which is iraq. john. has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election. china rejects donald trump's allegation that beijing is trying to interfere in the u.s. midterm elections.

and also coming up. donald trump says he could change his mind on his supreme court nominee if the sexual assault testimony against him is credible. a nation in mourning vietnam says goodbye to its president died suddenly last week. and how twenty years of answering questions has made google the number one. on warranted accusations that china is responding to u.s. president donald trump's allegations that beijing is trying to interfere in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections made those claims in front of world leaders at the u.n. security council relations between two of the world's largest economies have been testy over the past few months with an escalating trade war.

president trump presiding over a meeting of the u.n. security council the eight thousand three hundred and sixty second meeting of the security council is called to order his administration chose the subject of the discussion nuclear chemical and biological weapons but veered well away from that with this stunning claim regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight teen election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade china strongly denied that and on the actual subject of the meeting it sided with

three of the other security council permanent members against the us in support of the twenty fifty nuclear deal that president trump pulled out overly this year china russia france and the u.k. pledged to keep the deal with iran alive for many years the skin and nature of iran's nuclear program raise serious international concerns the j.c. was an important step forward in addressing these it remains the best means of preventing iran developing a nuclear weapon and we are committed to preserving the j.c. as long as iran continues to abide by its obligations in full trumpet again attacked the deal which is in trying to the u.n. security council resolution as horrible and one sided while the meeting was still underway i managed to get reaction to that from iran's foreign minister mohammed job and zarif although he couldn't be seen by our camera it is such an interesting situation for somebody to go to the security council and boast about violating security council that's outside the council meeting there were fast moving

developments on north korea the u.s. secretary of state pompei o met with the north korean foreign minister re yong ho off to trump said he'd meet kim jong un again at his second summit in the very near future james pays out zero at the united nations. asian browning's live for us and. some reactions seen but fair to say about such china did not see this attack coming. that's right china is becoming used to being caught off guard by president donald trump and in response to this accusation china's foreign minister wang ye one small state of the china doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries that is the all purpose standard response you get from chinese leaders at times like this but yes i think it's fair to assume they were not expecting president trying to say what he did at the un security council now china of course has really been taking issue

with what president from has been saying particularly his attacks on the media trying really took aim i think that state controlled media what upsets him most of all is that the chinese state has been placing advertisement in you know regional and provincial newspapers in the united states so that china can talk directly to us farmers directly to president trump supporters and propaganda is a very important and effective weapon for china we know for instance that in the united states the u.s. edition of the china daily is available almost free in many big cities across the country and of course in washington state t.v. has a major broadcast center c g t n which broadcasts in english and again that enables china to talk directly to the american people as for president xi jinping laura well he's not in new york he didn't visit the united states for this week's

hearings he's been touring the north of the country and really preaching a message of of self reliance he's been saying that this trade war has really in a sense exposed china's vulnerability and he wants to end the dependence that china has had on foreign technology in particular u.s. technology so you know what china what what she is saying is that he understands now or full well that you know trump wants to contain china to stop china's rise self-reliance is going to be part of china's response does it feel though that the sino u.s. relationship is starting to spiral out of control on many fronts. you know it is starting to fray on so many different levels right now i mean just last week president trump announced that he was going to begin you know imposing or rather he did impose some terrace and some two hundred billion dollars worth of

chinese imports he's now threatening to impose tariffs on the remainder of what china exports to the united states and that's going to really send shock waves through china's economy if that happens so put the trade war on one side we have increased tensions over taiwan china continuing to assert its sovereignty in the south china sea and of course just a few days ago a chinese student was arrested in the united states and charged by the justice department with espionage he's essentially accused of trying to set up a spy network in the united states and the united states believes that china has form in this area and you know just a few days ago in hong kong a u.s. warship was denied permission to dock in hong kong so yes we are sailing into into dangerous waters in more ways than one reporting from beijing thanks very much.

the main focus of wednesday's security council missing however was the issue of chemical biological and nuclear weapons has been at the heart of several tense meetings in recent years but there is discussion as has rarely resulted in action i can explain. this is the most exclusive political club in the world the high stakes table in the united nations to get a permanent seat in the game requires a unique buy in nuclear capability the issue under discussion with president trump in the chair the five permanent members were not only allies at the end of the second world war but were also nuclear powers no permanent members have been added since each of these five wields a veto so any resolution one opposes is simply not passed even if there's an absolute majority in the fifteenth seed council what the sometimes means the body is unable to carry out its prime function the maintenance of international peace

and security yes or no the veto was used regularly during the cold war period resulting in heightened instead of decreasing tensions the only unity in the council between the blocks of east and west the us able to rely on the absolute support top its p five allies france and the united kingdom. in recent times have been a flurry of vetoes in the council particularly over issues like syria where the permanent five members have opposing agenda. but there is one sharp difference now a u.s. administration under president trump but can no longer rely on the unquestioning support of old friends i think that trumps isolationism is making even staunch u.s. allies like france and the u.k. start to think about the need to work with china more the need to prepare. to work

without the u.s. on a lot of issues and you see a gradual real drift apart amongst the western powers here a possibly unforeseen consequence of the trompe and decision to go it alone the rise of china as a prominent potentially dominant force within the united nations and beyond mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. now in the coming hours brett kavanaugh and his first accuser will of pay in front of the senate judiciary committee with charges and defense and with the political fossil growing even trump now says he could change his mind if the evidence is compelling enough. reports. even as u.s. president donald trump tried to deal with the issue of weapons of mass destruction at the u.n. security council his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh was being accused again of teenage sexual abuse behavior julie sweat nick says kevin and his friends

organized alcohol and drug filled parties in the early one nine hundred eighty s. just so they could gang rape girls including her the president of the united states trumka called this yet another example of democratic party dirty tricks why didn't they bring this right at the beginning during the hearings you would have had all the time in the world for the f.b.i. it would have been fine now the f.b.i. as you know did investigate this time as they have five or six other times and they did a very thorough investigation but cavanagh's joining the high court once considered a sure thing has become less certain in the last two weeks and some of that uncertainty is now coming from the president himself julie sweat make is the third woman by name to accuse cavanagh of teenage sexual abuse never ramirez says cavanagh exposed himself to her while they were first year students at yale and christine blazin ford says cavanagh try to force himself on her and that she feared he could kill her when they were both in high school the senate judiciary committee

is also investigating two other reports that cavanagh abused women last week trump questioned whether blazin ford is telling the truth the result of a polygraph test she took in august suggest that she is but now as for prepares to repeat her story before the senate judiciary committee on thursday trump says he will give her testimony a fair hearing in that. could change his support for kavanagh oh it's possible i'll hear that and i'll say hey i'm changing my mind that is possible. in light of growing anger among us women over the cavanagh case the twelve republican senators all men won't be directly questioning laws a ford they brought in a woman prosecutor from arizona to do that democrats on the panel and in the chamber at large say the hearing shouldn't even be happening until the f.b.i. can investigate if our republican colleagues rushed to proceed without an investigation is.
