people from losing their jobs and to ensure that its services survive the u.s. funding cuts are equals it al-jazeera. let's look ahead to what we can expect from both the palestinian and israeli sides at the u.n. general assembly and speak to him for a hotties then associate professor of conflict resolution at the door and citizen is joining us here thanks very much for coming in thank you so two years ago what i . said at the u.n. and at the time he called for twenty seventeen to mark the end of the israeli occupation. is he in a weaker or in a stronger position today as he prepares to take that stage i think unfortunately he is in a much weaker position today. that he has not come up with the front strategy to handle the conflict with with specially after the complete bias of the united states to israel especially on the issue of moving the. embassy to jerusalem

from that of eve in the funding. and all other sort of things and in before this meeting happens we have seen that they are already declaring. that any future agreement would have to maintain control of the west bank saw. now that we have the bias of the bias of the us administration should have been able to come up with a new strategy now that the u.s. has no longer an option a mediator between the two sides so that we have in some of the new strategy do you expect him to make any new announcements doesn't look like that he has a new strategy to announce and the reason why i'm saying this is because actually just two days ago in his meeting with mark warner and pyrrus was already there talking about that he's willing to me a way of netanya whole with its publicly or in secret that's diffidently not going

to bring anything in new because he stabbed the negotiations because of that the ground for to negotiation does not does not exist anymore with the complete bias of the u.s. so. from that kind of a statement also talking today about you know willingness to meet when they go that's not the finitely. indicate any new strategy that is going to come up with because one reason is that actually the international community has not presented an option for an alternative to the u.s. mediation supported the policy imposition but europe is not the presenting itself as an anomaly there and that of two u.s. media that in this conflict and of course russia announced a number of times it's willing willingness to help but also to. does not.

substitute but i've seen interesting moves too or enough moves in your opinion to shore up this international while really have they have taken so far one concrete step i don't think it's sufficient this one concrete step as that poor thing the israeli practices to the international criminal court to investigate the practices in the west bank specially on issues related to human rights issues violation of human rights issues this of course and go to you are said when a station and. and it is considered a concrete step be compared to the past because the us policy in an authority of the past has not done anything similar in the past but with this is a strategy a strategy i don't think saw think that this would constitute an alternative strategy to the new emerging this kind of netanyahu.

vision or like completely imposing a unilateral vision on a unilateral solution the way they see it more coming from right wing extremist views on the conflict which should actually present a strategy of from the policy on the therapy which has not been the key is something about just limited moves towards the i.c.c. that has been done in the past few months what about the netanyahu he'll be speaking shortly after. we've seen his speeches previously at the u.n. general assembly where they have been dramatic he's used props do you expect that to continue and when you expect him to be saying i don't expect that that then you know we'll talk much about this conflict because he always likes just to ignore it and shift the entire momentum the entire focus on the line so what i expect material will be talking iran iran iran and that's what should dominate in according to all the we managed previous isp. each is your own speeches in the past

and especially now that we have a u.s. administration that's leading and or strategy in dealing with iran so i think he should he will be talking about confronting iran and iran that's the third that presents to the world that. supporting terrorism and all of that so i think he will talk about the policy of an issue and the conflict he only the mere. statement that they have that he will keep any future security control of those bank in and if you try to negotiations and i think he will move on that shift the focus on iran to try to mobilize more support to prepare the international public opinion about possible confrontation with iran in the future and here's what trump said just a short time ago he said that he believes that the two state solution quote will work best and he also said that israel will have to do something good for the other

side so do you think at all that the u.s. and the trumpet ministration will be pressing israel to make any sort of concessions when it comes to this deal of the century that trump is also saying will be unveiled in two to three months time this is according to reports it's very unlikely i mean these are generics the months they don't really mean any serious change in the policy of the troubled ministration the three major issues facing this conflict jerusalem refugees settlements and the trump administration has already made its position on all of these shows then the autumn actually no issues left to talk about or to make an agreement about it. is to make these general statements about. two state solution two state solution in the finishing of the trump and the whole means not more autonomy in the policy than the thirty in the palestinian territories that handles mainly. health and education and nothing else

that's what that are and of course that's totally unacceptable like with the us administration has killed its chances for a new future negotiations as long as the administration is in power because when you try to move jules a limb from the table as he said repeatedly in the past. from it means that you. table outside the negotiations so you lift the bill for the go she issued . a just can't think that any future palestinian leadership would be willing to talk if judaism is not number one on the agenda and that's what the. not willing to do at the ok about him will speak to you as in when the speeches are made we thank you thank you for joining us thank you plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including handling of more than traffic afghanistan's pioneering women get behind the wheel to drive through stigma. the host of the road to twenty four.

agents of the russian g.r.u. russia denies any involvement president putin says both men named by the u.k. are civilians and not criminals by publicly calling for the two men known as bashir of patrol of to come forward in saying that the two civilians. in put himself right in the middle of a mess that arguably he should have kept his distance from him reinforce the british argument that the attempted murder and the subsequent alleged cover up go right to the top also that moscow is making a series of mistakes in a russian television interview that drew ridicule internationally as well as in russia two men said they were the pair in the security camera images but that they were just tourists who wanted to see the city's famous cathedral but i live in the us though. what we're witnessing is an increase in unsubstantiated rhetoric about the source free of fear at the same time the u.k.

apprehension a sign of how disenchanted iranians are with the international community since the united states pulled out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal sending iran's economy into a tailspin so as soon as he returned rouhani took to the airwaves in a live address putting down any doubts as to the importance of his visit to new york. the most important thing that was obvious at this year's u.n. general assembly session that we saw in the media and also heads of state said it it was the rightfulness of the public and the reigning nation and the bullying by the united states. he said he was able to use the visit to openly explain iran's policy positions within the legal framework of the un the biggest international stage there is and despite president donald trump's efforts to hurt iran's public relations blitz to maintain the integrity of the twenty fifty nuclear deal ronnie said his american counterpart accomplish nothing that. america has adopted an

approach of unilateral ism it is indifferent to international organizations and laws it wasn't just our opinion others also mentioned it in different ways they accomplished nothing even during trump speech when he praised his own administration they laughed at him and the american media considered this a humiliation for the u.s. government and their country at home painting an unflattering picture of trump could be seen as shifting blame for iran's economic problems away from his own government. the falling value of the ryal a barometer iranians used to check their country's financial health has made the rouhani administration unpopular at the u.n. the iranian president needed to win the european union that there's anything now four plus one countries basically came and said that they're going to actually take concrete steps in terms of making sure that the companies that are dealing with iran could do so without facing serious difficulties from the united states iran's

and google knows a lot about us they know who you are they know a lot about your habits they know what kind of videos he watched they don't how many e-mails he gets they are very large an important part of most people staring live it's search engine process is three and a half billion requests per day or one point two trillion a year that information is power google uses the information to lucratively target advertising to customers the more they know about you the more the can market you to advertisers a collection of activities in what we do every day. you know one of the rules or the role of government when when a company collects in a mass that much information in the u.s. google like other big tech companies is largely unregulated regarding what they do with the information they collect the idea that these companies will suffer regularly is as laughable and i think it's been shown that as insufficient that may

be changing in congressional hearings this week lawmakers discussed a federal internet privacy law to regulate big tech companies behavior the european union has taken a stricter line passing sweeping new online privacy rules and recently levying heavy multibillion dollar fines on google for anti-competitive practices google's corporate culture appears to be changing earlier this year google quietly dropped its famous motto don't be evil from its corporate code of conduct. in april three thousand google employees signed a petition demanding the company end its partnership with the pentagon called project maven that uses images and artificial intelligence to improve drone strike accuracy on the battlefield google now says it will not renew its pentagon contract when it expires in two thousand and nineteen in just two decades google has made itself practically indispensable in the lives of billions of people what it will do

out more and more information about us the interesting about the internet as it routes around damage right and regulation in this case is damage. if google gets regulated somebody's going to pop up underground or nice and and create something that's unregulated there are already a few technologies that could help technologies like block chain that can ensure custody of the information that we hold and all the pictures that we own all the videos that we take in shared custody and ensure that these things exist in these things are real but that's going to take a long time and i don't know if people care enough about their information to actually take that initiative while of donna stand is making progress in some areas on women's rights and others change is coming slower only a tiny percentage of fly since drivers are women and many of them often face abuse and threats from men who see it as an affront to afghan culture tony brooklier reports in the capital kabul. to cope with driving in kabul you need

steel and a strong heart the afghan capital has some of the most challenging driving conditions anywhere hold in huff a million vehicles compete for space on narrow roads is difficult for the experienced driver but downright daunting for a learner and even more so if you're a woman you still easy because even though women are allowed to drive by law many men say culturally it is wrong but they are for that me again there are lots of men here that the abuse you they will kill call motorcyclists right alongside shouting about things no one helps us. other memos i driving school instructors teach them about road signs and engines and prepare them psychologically for the abuse they will face. the women sometimes say they don't want to drive again because of the abuse but i tell them you need to fight these people not given just ignore them there's nothing you can do three thousand five hundred learners of pass their tests

through the school forty percent of them women to persevered they have to be competent and also mentally tough for them would be good. i want to take my car out to get my groceries if i need to get to hospital or go to work i go to work to earn money and put it in my pocket i like my dear if. and when the taliban were in control women were forbidden to drive but outside of the main cities it is rare even now to see a woman behind the wheel in the last fifteen years garbles trafficking apartment has issued more than seven hundred thousand driving licenses to men but only three thousand and fourteen for women the has been real progress in women's rights mainly here in the capital but that hasn't gone as far as the car. in this conservative society many men here see it as a male only dumain. the women are just driving for fun not facilitating people they are creating problems for us they should drive in a specific time when we are not working. some women find it all too much and give

up driving but others like in july typify the resolve of the modern afghan woman. that. we don't care about their abuse and we will carry on driving because god has ordered in the qur'an that there is no difference between men and women we are more educated and can stand on our own feet. society is changing albeit slowly but the women drivers of afghanistan there is a long road ahead before they are fully accepted tony berkeley al jazeera kabul. or back to events of the united nations and their president donald trump's rhetoric dominated the security council meeting on wednesday the main focus of that discussion was chemical biological and nuclear weapons it's been at the heart of several tense meetings in recent years but those discussions have rarely resulted in action mike hanna explains. 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 fifteen 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 the east and west the u.s. 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's one difference a u.s. administration and a president trump that can no longer rely on the unquestioning support of old friends. storm. like. a lot of issues you see a. real drift. a possibly unforeseen consequence of the decision to go it alone the rise of china as a prominent potentially dominant force within the united nations and beyond mike

hello again time for the sports is with joe barry thank you well big footballing news on thursday germany have won the right to host your own twenty twenty for the country tucking in a vote held by the european games governing body wipha has the moment it was announced by u.a.

for president alexandre chaffer and the host alluded to twenty four will be germany. maybe. we will do everything in our power to answer all the expectations that everyone has for us and rightfully so i'm very glad that our concept of proven to be successful it shows that transparency and openness and compliance as well as the support of n.g.o.s but also from the bundesliga have contributed to this great success so the first time that germany has actually hosted the euros as a unified country but it's no surprise that they'd won as our correspondent lee wellings explains. well for us for president i was on the chair for and said two very strong grades from three very strong football countries but no surprise i told that germany won they were already the favorites going into the evaluation one hundred few days ago and i went out a valuation kind back and concerns were expressed by your wife's independent

committee about human rights and about infrastructure from the moment it looked. that germany would end up winning their first european championship as a unified nation and of course their infrastructure is in place perfectly largely because of the two thousand and six world cup which was such a success so they have the ten stadia there by have at least forty six thousand capacity in all of those stadia in turkey's big three of the stadiums where less than thirty five thousand capacity so this has been a safe choice your way for will fail certainly the expected choice unfortunately for turkey though this is the fourth time they've had a bid for the event rejected correspondence in and gives us the reaction from istanbul. of course this is a disappointment for turkey but also it is not a surprise because despite turkey was claiming that turkey had better conditions compared to germany in terms of the status of the stadiums in terms of security and

evacuations under the risks and trying to believe that it deserved it and it's hard to get it because turkey also need at this decision especially dealing with the soaring economy and the need for more tourism but of course on the other hand some of the turkish critics and turkish football lovers they were saying that. the youth ball would decide on behalf of germany because it was the politics which designs the turkey's relations with the e.u. however of course turkey is very ambitious about sports this is a government's policy the ministry of youth and sports is investing a lot. in sports and turkey will continue to. bits for hosting the winter olympics for two thousand and twenty six and the sport's critics say despite this loss today it turkey will continue its efforts were winning about it well apart

capital. one hundred percent. the woman accusing donald trump supreme court nominee of sexual assault has begun her testimony on capitol hill. a russian colonel is identified as a suspect in the u.k. poisoning case. without a trace the long wait for iraqi families waiting to hear about the fate of their relatives detained by government forces. hello is really in polish. the leaders are due to address the united nations general assembly to make their cases there's been a dramatic shift in the u.s. policy on the israeli palestinian conflict since last year and it came to a head in december when trump unilaterally recognized the capital of israel let's talk to our diplomatic editor james bays joining us live from the united nations

headquarters in new york so momentarily james we do expect to hear from the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas so what should we look out for there. yeah absolutely if they stay in order you can see right now the scene in the general assembly and this is the president of sierra leone he's been talking for quite some time now and president mahmoud abbas of the palestinian authority is supposed to be the next speaker now i think you're going to hear from him a real sense of frustration because he was frustrated a year ago he was threatening to pull out of the architecture of all slow created by the oslo peace accord to pull out of the security cooperation with israel and what is happened since well absolutely nothing positive for the palestinian point of view you have the recognition by the u.s. of jerusalem as the capital of israel the plans to move the embassy to

jerusalem and you've had the u.s. saying that it's pulling most of the funding that it gives to under that's the part of the u.n. that deals with palestinians that helps them with that education and with their health care from the palestinian point of view the u.s. is not anymore not synonymous broca it is actively on the side of israel it is punishing the palestinians and at the same time giving israel exactly what it wants so i think you're going to hear that sort of frustration from mahmoud abbas quite possibly you'll hear some some comments on what president trump said a few hours ago at a news conference because he referred to this issue it certainly wasn't the centerpiece of his comments because he was talking a lot about domestic issues but he said he's now pretty much firmly come down on the side of a two state solution but the question is how can you have a two state solution when the palestinians don't have the capital that is being

given by the by the u.s. to israel where they're they're attacking the rights of palestinian refugees they're questioning the. right of palestinians to return i think it's a very difficult time for the palestinians and a difficult question i think for president abbas what is he actually going to do is he going to do some of the things he's threatened is he for example going to cut back security cooperation with israel because the u.s. has cut its funding to the palestinians the only bit they haven't cut is the money they gave to the palestinians for security so there is a downside if he does that is that the u.s. may cut more funds to the palestinians meaning the president abbas may find it difficult to play his own policeman and what about netanyahu when he speaks a little bit after our bason is seymour is he at an advantage because he's able to listen to what our boss has to say and then reply back during his speech possibly.

yes and we know that he is good at that he's good at responding fast to things he also in the past has bought props along you may remember the sort of cartoon drawing of a bomb saying the iran was very close to getting a bomb i think you've got to remember that promise the netanyahu will not only be dealing with the issue of the israelis and the palestinians expect him to talk a lot about iran and the nuclear threat from iran i think that is likely to be a large part of his speech and him i think saying that he agrees with president trump that the j. c.p.o. way that's the nuclear deal done in twenty fifteen is not a good thing and he will probably condemn i think those other countries that are trying to find work arounds to keep that deal alive the sea area leonean president has left of the general assembly flaw we've been slightly out of order the smalling

a few times so i'm not one hundred percent sure that it will be president abbas will be the next speaker but we'll find out momentarily who is next to speak at the u.n. general assembly certainly it is president abbas and we can see him coming through the door is actually a little room behind this is the general assembly hall president abbas coming to the to speak at the podium all right james well and listening to what the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has to say and he's being introduced to nanda nothing right now let's listen in the family i have the honor to welcome to the even organization his excellency mahmoud afghan president of the state of palestine i invite him to address the general assembly.

jerusalem is not for sale. but how hopeless. and the palestinian people's rights are not up for bargaining. in the name of god the most merciful and beneficent excellency miss maria for in and spinoza president of the united nations general assembly. your excellency mr antonio terrorist secretary general of the united nations. distinguished ladies and gentleman. peace be upon you. peace be upon you. we will. and we will maintain our faith in peace we will maintain peace and we will achieve our

independent state with peace because god is with us and our cause is just and our people have sacrificed a lot and because you lovers of being and god. is always against those who are lighting us with injustice and god is enough in these days last year i came before you appealing for freedom independence and justice for my oppressed people. who are suffering under the yoke over the israeli occupation for more than fifty one years and today i returned as this colonial occupation continues to suffocate us.

undermining our serious. unwavering efforts to build the institutions of our cherished state to which this august general assembly recognized in twenty eleven. this year ladies and gentlemen the palestinian national council the parliament of the state of palestine convened and renewed the legitimacy of all our national institutions through the election of a new leadership for the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. the saw ledge metry presented tip of the palestinian people. this parliament undertook. important decisions whereby i have to review the agreements political economic and

security alike that have been reached with the israeli government. and to review the future of the palestinian national authority. which unfortunately has been rendered without authority by the parliament also instructed me to suspend the palestinian recognition of the state of israel until israel recognizes in its turn the state of palestine. on the fourth of june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven borders. i was also instructed. to approach international courts including the international criminal court the i.c.c. .

to investigate israel is breaches of treaties. and the aggression by the israeli occupying forces and settlers against our people on our land and our holy sites. and you might note ladies and gentleman. that the israeli settlers and even the israeli army on every single day. they are committing acts of blasphemy against our holy sites specially alok some us. ladies and gentleman last july. israel. adopted a racist law. that crossed all the red lines and it was

called the nation state law of the jewish people. and. this law denies the connection of the palestinian people to their historic homeland and dismisses the right to self-determination and their history and heritage. as well as the united nations resolutions relevant to the palestine question and the agreements concluded with israel. this low. when ever to believe lead to the creation of one racist state and upper tied state and thus nullifies the two state solution. israel practices discrimination but. but actually this comes as the. epicenter of this discriminate.
