2:00 am
seven hundred and five you are in general assembly resolution and eighty six you and security council resolutions that until today none of them have been fulfilled so you can imagine this man who of course for the last twenty five years have represented the so-called peace process of the one the signed the oslo peace process also a process in washington back in one thousand nine hundred three still adamant on maintaining the same course even though this course have proved to be a thoroughly failing even though when he says that we will not accept the sole american mediation in the peace process he just said this in a speech because the u.s. administration has lost its eligibility do it to its recent decisions are you saying that that is simply not the case practically. you know he might have a some problems with the with the trunk administration and he appealed to the
2:01 am
throne administration to backtrack on its decisions on on the other refugees and jerusalem but he maintains his faith in the united states as the sole power that able to put pressure on israel let me open just a bit of a bracket here. and throw in something about what tusk has saying and the and the role of the europeans and the french and the british because the last two days you know i've had i've heard and you as you did and the rest of our viewers around the world heard the ears fall from western leaders with their surplus morality about global governance about the liberal order about the good global governance that was and why now trump is destroying well there hasn't been much of a good global governance when it came to palestine there was also nor good global governance for that by the french when it came to algeria or by the english and others when it came to south africa now they talk about mandela and such you know glorious terms but back then they all betrayed him he stayed in prison for thirty
2:02 am
some years without the westen you know moralist ever doing anything about that so today it's palestine to be it's syria today it's yemen the same powers who talk about you know humanitarian issues was such a glorified terms are still sitting on arms to saudi arabia are still having trade agreements and selling arms to israel and so on and so forth so in this by the there is a lot of hypocrisy going on and i think that the spirit of the what about us is that he could say or he could say he could appeal to them but it will all fall on deaf ears the puzzle is why there is he continued to do that when he's getting more recognitions by more state of palestine while palestine itself is disappearing from the first of the earth because settlements are expanding and a. breathless speed in palestine and when it comes to reconsolidation rather attempts at reconciliation he
2:03 am
had this to say on hamas we have concluded concluded agreements of hamas either they implement them fully or we will distance ourselves from any agreements or measures that are concluded without our approval what is this signal to you about. the rifts right now between hamas and fatah this is another puzzling question and i think the president the palestinian leader has not really answered he just imprecise that he has always always always been ready to talk to the israelis and he's always always been ready to engage in peace process directly so my question is if he's ready to engage with his enemies if he's ready to engage with those who betrayed him. why isn't he engaging directly with ham us his own people people who share the ages of cancer with people who share the same cause people with whom he share the same prison the same occupation the same
2:04 am
dispossession why isn't one with the bad speaking directly to the palestinians ahem us why does he need egypt and saudi arabia and qatar to speak to him us that's a big question that he's is yet to answer because once he is answers that question then we will get to the next stage which is if he does really have a strategy beyond appealing with his sad story it's becoming actually a boring story to most of these diplomats at the united nations if he has an alternative path meaning really using the assets of his own people in gaza and the respect in jerusalem in that they asked for if he's willing to really invest his own people in the unity of his people meaning really putting them to work in a true nonviolent uprising resistance against the israelis why didn't he say a word and i think i didn't hear a word about supporting and about pressuring the international community to support
2:05 am
boycotts israel it's a very nonviolent humanitarian act that many countries around the world could carry against the israeli products especially those are coming from the illegal settlements nothing about that so really when it comes to hamas what comes with the other factions when it comes to the palestinian people themselves present a bass's investing very little in the potential of his people and a lot in the lack of potential of the international community especially at this united nations or his previous partners like. the americans and israelis who are really betraying the palestinian cause and it's just twenty four hours ago before he made that speech obviously the hamas legislative council denounced him calling him an illegitimate president who does not represent the palestinian people i wonder if you can just clarify at this point what the sticking points are between hamas and fatah for reconciliation. look there is the principle and
2:06 am
there is the reality there in the principle is that we have two authorities to be living in when living within one prison called the israeli occupation there is had a mass of o.t. in the gaza strip one of the most in but impoverished over populated areas in the whole world eighty percent of its populations are refugees but have mass insists on controlling that little sliver of land in the south of palestine while mahmoud abbas continues to control internally some forty percent of the occupied west bank none of it of course a part of jerusalem and again it's all under israeli control now they have these two entities these two attended this for a whole decade now were not the were not able to quicken saw their differences in order to go back to the time when the palestinian elektra them to the one legislative council of hamas won that election for parliament and mahmoud abbas won
2:07 am
the elections for the presidency you would hope that they would come together in unity where there is some sort of division of labor mahmoud abbas is not only the president elected president the person of authority or was and the chairman of the p.l.o. hamas were also elected. with a majority in the policy in parliament let me add here a very important thing as always it's a bit complicated in israel palestine it was the israelis who eventually imprisoned most of the leaders of hamas but the parliament in the west bank and i did not allow of course any of those hamas members from gaza to travel to the west bank so israel of course played a hugely destructive role here because they were not happy with the results of the elections they did not want to have mass to win the elections even though everyone said we will respect the will of the palestinian people but would have asked when their actions everyone turned their back on it and some of course incited against
2:08 am
it and here. we are today and yet i would say that mahmoud abbas will probably need to sit down with him us before he sits down with the israelis he needs to appeal to hamas and find a way forward before he appeals to the united nations and to the american administrations unfortunately he has not done that maybe he's getting to all maybe he's getting too cynical maybe he knows a bit too well i'm not sure but certainly without uniting i think the palestinian cause is definitely on its way to death well the trump administration as you know is accused by some or by many of being impulsive but when it comes to the palestinian question do you think that there is a strategy there that is being thought of or is it based on impulse. i would like to refer and i hate to do that usually but i'd like to refer to what our viewers to an article of written several weeks ago called the shock of the
2:09 am
century instead of the deal of the century which i think is actually the trap of the century and i think that has been now consolidated by what we've heard from president trump the last forty eight hours which he says look we will come up with our initiative that the of the century we are one hundred percent behind israel of course understand understandable and we favor to. a two state solution i think that's key because a lot of people were skeptical that the top administration will not approach it but i think they've heard an earful even from there are lies in riyadh and i would dhabi and cairo that all the arabs cannot move forward with a final deal except if a palestinian state was recognized and here's the problem the problem is what mahmoud abbas referred to in his speech we cannot accept a palestinian state without the full scale of land in one thousand nine hundred ninety six seven including is jerusalem addressing the questions of the settlements that are illegal addressing the questions of
2:10 am
a federal solution to the refugee question because there are some several million refugees today registered in the honora and last but not least the question of security you cannot have an independent palestinian state if you don't have a control over your own security which of course not then your whole continues to refuse so will the united states and israel recognize a state that's not a state i think that's the question all right and we'll leave it there for a second one will speak to a little later on because we'll cross back to the united nations general assembly and listen to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he is set to speak to leaders as you can see he's about to start in just a moment let's listen in. the stimulus delegates ladies and gentlemen
2:11 am
when i spoke you three years ago. israel stood alone among the nations of the nearly two hundred countries that sit in this hall only israel openly opposed the nuclear deal with iran we oppose it because it threatens our future even our very survival. we opposed it because the deal paved iran's path to a nuclear arsenal and by lifting the sanctions it fueled iran's campaign of carnage and conquest throughout the middle east we oppose it we oppose it because the deal was based on a fundamental lie that iran is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons
2:12 am
now israel exposed that lie earlier this year last february israel conducted a daring raid on iran's secret atomic archives we obtained over one hundred thousand documents and videos that had been stashed in vaults in an innocent looking building in the heart of tehran in may i presented a short summary of what we obtained to the international media i provided hard evidence of iran's plans to build nuclear weapons and its plans to deceive the international community israel share this information
2:13 am
and even more damning evidence that we found with members of the p five plus one and with the international atomic energy agency months of past the i.a.e.a. has still not taken any action it is not posed a single question to you ron. it is not demanded to inspect a single new site discovered in that secret archive so given this in action i decided to reveal today something else that we have shared with the i.a.e.a. and with a few intelligence agencies what i'm about to say has
2:14 am
not been shared publicly before today and dicks disclosing for the first time that iran has another secret facility in tehran a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and material for me ron's secret nuclear weapons program in may we exposed the site of iran's secret atomic archives right here in the shoulder district of to him on today i mean feeling the sights of a second facility iran secret atomic warehouse it's right here in the to cause the bud district of tehran just three bars away
2:15 am
let me show you exactly what the secret atomic warehouse looks like it has you see like the atomic archives it's another innocent looking compound now for those of you at home using google earth this no longer secret atomic warehouse is on mars alley mars street you have the coordinates you can try to get there and for those of you who try to get there it's one hundred meters from the show he the rug cleaning operation by the way i hear they do a fantastic job cleaning rugs there but by now they may be radioactive rods.
2:16 am
this is the second secret site now countries with satellite capabilities may notice some increased activity on meyer early in the days and weeks ahead the people the sea scurrying back and forth are remaining officials desperately trying to finish the job of clearing up that site because you see since we raided the atomic archives they've been busy cleaning out the atomic warehouse just last month they removed fifteen kilograms of radioactive material you know what they did with it that fifteen kilograms of radioactive material they had to get it out of the site so they took it out and they spread it around to
2:17 am
ron in an effort to hide the evidence the endangered residents of tehran may want to know that they can get a geiger counter on amazon for only twenty nine ninety nine as of today that's just four million iranian riaz but we'll get to that later we'll talk about the iranian economy in a minute they took this radioactive material and spread it around to iran now the iranian officials cleaning out that site still have a lot of work to do because they've had it least at least fifteen ship containers their gigantic fifteen ship containers full of nuclear related equipment and materials stored there now since each of those containers can hold twenty tons
2:18 am
of material this means that this site contains as much as three hundred tons three hundred tons of nuclear related equipment and material right here so the sting was d'elegance. you have to ask yourself a question. why did he ron keep a secret atomic archives and a secret atomic warehouse because after all when south africa and libya when they gave up their nuclear programs the first thing they did was to destroy both the archives and the material and equipment and the answer to the question is simple the reason iran didn't destroy its atomic archives
2:19 am
and its atomic warehouse is because it hasn't abandoned its goal to develop nuclear weapons in fact it planned to use both of these sites in a few years when the time would be right to break out to the atom bomb but ledges gentleman rest assured that won't happen it won't happen because what iran hides israel will find ladies and gentlemen i have a message to the head of the i.a.e.a. mr yukiya amano on i believe he's a good man i believe he wants to do the right thing well mr amano do the right thing go inspect this atomic warehouse
2:20 am
immediately before the rains finish clearing it out distinguish delegates you remember when we were promised that inspections could take place any time anywhere remember that anytime anywhere well how about inspections right here right now. and mr amano while you're at it. inspect the other sites we told you about once and for all tell the world the truth about iran now i also have
2:21 am
a message today for the tyrants of terror on israel knows what you are doing and israel knows where you are doing it israel will never let a regime that calls for our destruction to develop nuclear weapons not now not in ten years not ever. the the. and israel will do whatever it must do to defend itself against iran's aggression we will continue to act against you in syria we will act against you in lebanon we will act against you in iraq we will act against you whenever and wherever we must act to defend our state and to defend our people.
2:22 am
distinguished delegates three years ago a few weeks after the nuclear deal was completed i asked this question from this very podium does anyone seriously believe that flooding iran's radical theocracy with weapons and cash will curb its appetite for aggression but many of the deal supporters believe just that they believe that iran's regime would become more moderate more peaceful. they believed that iran would use the billions of dollars it received. so that is the is really a prime minister benjamin netanyahu giving his address to the united nations
2:23 am
general assembly so far very focused on iran our diplomatic editor james bays listening in. the united nations i'm saying james so far he's been talking iran. yes and that has been the theme of his speeches to the general assembly in recent years it's always been a single focus really for prime minister netanyahu often comes along with some exhibits shall i call them that some might call them props to show the general assembly he's making bold claims i am not a nuclear expert but he is saying now that there is a new facility or a warehouse he says where iran has been story nuclear equipment and materiel he says and he talks about some radioactive material being removed from their nose
2:24 am
suggestion that that was a nuclear weapons production facility no mention of centrifuges he says the information is already been shared with the some of the intelligence agencies he now says he's sharing it with the international atomic energy agency is worth telling you that he came out earlier this year as he said about an atomic car cards and the general view from nuclear experts and from the countries that are staying in the nuclear deal is that was all historic it was nothing new it was all stuff that showed iran was trying to get a nuclear weapon before it did the nuclear deal so we'll have to delve a little bit more not a lot of detail there other than a coordinate that he says you can go and check on on google maps i think it's interesting that israel is focusing again on iran and not on the israel palestinian conflict and that may well be as you heard from the policy unit president mahmoud abbas because israel feels it's getting exactly what it wants at this stage from
2:25 am
the trumpet ministration which says it's negotiating a deal at the deal of the century we've heard between the israelis and the palestinians while it's negotiating it's clearly giving israel a lot of the things it wants including recognizing the capital jerusalem while panish punishing the palace. cutting funding to under the u.n. agency the part of the u.n. that deals with the palestinians with education and schooling in palestinian areas and cutting funding for the palestinian authority yet james that as you're saying a very different tone between what the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas had to say just thirty minutes or so and what benjamin netanyahu is saying right now at the u.n. . absolutely and i think the palestinians will tell you privately that's because they think the israelis have the americans in tali on the side that relationship has always been friendly they call themselves allies but now
2:26 am
they believe that the there is really no role for the u.s. to be the negotiator here because you have a u.s. administration that is doing everything that israel wants and punishing the palestinians at the same time as president abbas said where is this deal of the century if you've already made all the decisions beforehand and left us no space for a palestinian state we've heard from the palestinian president israeli prime minister but in fact the most important contribution to this debate in many ways was the news conference that took place late on wednesday by president trump who is telling us that he believes there will still be a deal come up with by his son in law jerrold cushion. but i've been i think the palestinians have given up any hope that that will be a fair deal for them and one that they can accept and i think they would point perhaps to one of those comments by president trump when the he said jarrad loves
2:27 am
israel jerad loves israel but he'll he'll deal with the palestinians to i think the palestinians feel comments like that entirely sum up the situation james bays thank you let's and i'll cross over to west to receive them and speak to harry fossett he is joining us from there so obviously that's analysis will speaking right now kerry to the u.n. general assembly. but in your opinion do you think that he is speaking to an international audience or is in speaking to his domestic audience when he focuses on iran. well i think obviously a mixture of the iran issue is one that he very much does emphasize here inside israel as well as when he is overseas talking to world leaders that is because among them of the many things that israelis vote for in benjamin netanyahu is someone who portrays himself and is seen as someone who can handle israel's
2:28 am
security issues and this is the security issue that he is that he's been speaking about bar none in terms of it's a priority that the president gives it in recent years and so we saw in may the revelations that he that he unveiled very dramatically in terms of what he said was the iranian. archive on its nuclear program now we have this part two of that somewhat less flashy perhaps somewhat less dramatic but nonetheless he says that this is another secret nuclear site within tehran one that houses james are saying nuclear equipment and material and i have to agree with james the big question will be exactly what backs that up in terms of the detail of what's inside it he talked about fifteen shipping container loads which could be up to three hundred tons what officer depends on where the fall and the density of the material
2:29 am
it's inside it so i mean the kind of headline language that he's using at the moment is obviously designed to be grabby but it doesn't contain the kind of detail that people be looking for the key detail i think will be whether this is more historical material evidence as israel would put it of the iranian nuclear program as was or whether it talks whether it talks to some kind of breaking of the terms of the iran nuclear deal if it along the lines of what he unveiled in may that will be the former. all right harry thank you for that analysis from west russo there and run on joining us live from the occupied west bank city of ramallah really stark contrast we're seeing between what president to say just about forty five minutes or so and what the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is saying right now at the u.n. that's absolutely right there's no surprise here from any of the palestinians that
2:30 am
he's concentrating on iran for a very long time the palestinians have said he's using the iranian issue to distract against doing anything for the palestinians and trying to make any sort of peace with the palestinians in fact by using iran by getting the international community's focus on iran the palestinian cause is simply being lost and that's exactly what the palestinians say the prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants he has a very hardline right wing base that is no interested in any kind of peace with the palestinians so by focusing on iraq pieces that base is well is this something for domestic consumption it certainly sounds like it but it's also for the international community as well what prime minister nouri president mahmoud abbas was saying was that the u.s. and israel will no longer partners for peace so therefore they're looking to the international community well here we have the prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel saying to the international community should be iran and when it comes to what mahmoud abbas had to say he certainly started out with
2:31 am
a ground statement saying that jerusalem is not for sale in the palestinian people's rights are not up for bargaining how do you think that went down with those and among those who supported him and was there anything that they wanted him to say that he didn't. well i think those words were very strong we've not heard that kind of language from him before particularly opening his speech with jerusalem is not for sale and the palestinian people's rights are not for bargaining is a very strong statement of intent and it's been welcomed by many here in ramallah as a sign that the palestinians are getting increasingly frustrated increasingly fed up and it's time to take a look at what president on the trump's deal of the century might actually be which he says you'll notice in two to three months time but without jerusalem without the rights of return palestinian refugees without security what is left for the israelis and the americans actually give to the palestinians what's what are these
2:32 am
borders that they're talking about so those words are very strong it's a statement of intent and it's been seen by many palestinians here as being something that the palestinian president should have done a long time ago however. he's looking to the international community he's looked to the international community before for help often times he's been let down by the new quoting to palestinians so there's no real sense that there was anything new in his speech but there was this strong statement of intent the palestinians are backing the many palestinians about imran khan thank you let's go to london bring in al jazeera senior political analyst and we can see on the right hand of the screen that benjamin netanyahu is still speaking at the u.n. general assembly he started out by saying accusing rather iran of having a quote secret atomic warehouse for its nuclear weapons program just talk us through that accusation what you make of it. you know since one thousand eighty three when we first start. following israeli statements on iran nuclear program
2:33 am
we heard about ten very distinct accusations against iran by various israeli leaders mainly that iran will have the nuclear bomb in five years three years ten years eight years five years and so on so forth none of them turn out to be right i think prime minister netanyahu particular has this long record that is totally not credible when it comes to iran and the nuclear issue because he is very political about it and because he has other aims as our reporters just mentioned one of them just distracting away from palestine the other is continuing to create this kind of a threat from iran to the existence of israel that allows israel to do a number of thing including including having two hundred nuclear warheads so here is the paradox we just heard almost like
2:34 am
a tragic speech from mahmoud abbas and this to be honest sounds like a comical speech from the israeli prime minister why do i say that because this is the best example of of a stately the comes to the united nations and refuses to let in the matter but instead projects all his own issues on other people except other states and other enemies so israel has nuclear weapons iran does not have nuclear weapons israel has nuclear weapon program israel does iran does not have nuclear weapons program iran give up its own nuclear program israel maintains its nuclear program its nuclear archive and its nuclear warehouse it's also secret prime minister netanyahu speaks to speaks directly to the director of the i.a.e.a. mr amano and says you have to do this and that mr amano certifies that iran is doing what it needs to do. iran is a member of the n.p.t.
2:35 am
nonproliferation treaty and hence it's looked upon by the i.a.e.a. israel is not a member of the on the nonproliferation treaty it refuses to sign the nonproliferation treaty and yet the israeli prime minister there is to speak with such hot spots to the head of the i.a.e.a. orders him asking him to check on your one you call facilities so on and no it is really an amazing short you know the last ten fifteen minutes record of the selective israeli prime minister speaking over the law on nuclear program a weapon program that does not exist but yet of course not saying anything about israel's own what nuclear program that does exist with two hundred. warheads and be a prime minister sole speaking at the united nations general assembly as you can see my one for the time being thank you we're going to take a break right here on al-jazeera we're back in just a moment to stay with us. hello

there we are expecting to see some more severe weather across the mediterranean over the next few days so thanks to an intense area of low pressure that is with us at the moment it's known as a medicaid and is thrown plenty of cloud with us plenty of heavy rain and very very strong winds as well those winds are likely to be damaging at times for the east though it's largely fine and dry and the temperatures will be gradually recovering there in ankara so up to around twenty seven by saturday and elsewhere still hot baghdad up at forty degrees i'm forcing it will be around thirty nine that's around the coast because it's more humid that temperatures will be limited to around thirty eight to thirty nine here in doha we're also hovering around thirty eight degrees again because it's going to stay very humid as we head through friday and saturday they could be a bit more in the. of clouds here as we head through saturday and of temperatures
2:37 am
we're getting to around twenty nine down towards the southern parts of africa there's a fair amount of cloud with us at the moment particularly along the south coast has also brought us a few outbreaks of rain the be a little bit of cloud coming and going at times during the day on friday and so cape town's temperatures will be struggling just hovering around sixty four woman been for friday twenty seven will be zero max but then the cloud gradually rolls across us and the temperatures drop. they live in a country plagued by poverty but for india's billionaires life is all about glamour luxury and pristine. wonder when east meets the new maharajah. on al
2:38 am
jazeera. the first woman to accuse president donald trump supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual abuse has been testifying before a committee on capitol hill christine baazi for davis statement and then answered questions from senators. i was pushed onto the bed and brett got on top of me he began running his hands over my body and grinding into me. i yelled hoping that someone downstairs might hear me and i tried to get away from
2:39 am
him but his weight was heavy. bret groped me and tried to take off my clothes he had a hard time because he was very in need related and because i was wearing a one piece bathing suit underneath my clothing i believe he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help when i did brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling this is what terrified me the most and this had the most lasting impact on my life it was hard for me to breathe and i thought that brett was accidentally going to kill me. ross and jordan joining us so obviously an emotional motional testimony for a blousy ford rosalind to what's been said so far. well what christine blazin ford has the style was so far is that the moment where she said that brett kavanaugh allegedly covered her mouth to keep her from screaming
2:40 am
that's when she said that she thought he could accidentally kill her and she said under questioning from one of the senators that there was no way that she could mistake him for another rug teenager in their community outside washington d.c. she said one hundred percent that it was brett kavanaugh who was trying to attack her now there have been some attempts by the republican majority through their special counsel a lawyer named paula mitchell from arizona to what try to put call into question how she came to have legal representation how she came she would take a polygraph word lie detectors in order to support her claims that this attempted sexual assault happened in the summer of one nine hundred eighty two but through elder child laws before it has been rather consistent in her testimony that this
2:41 am
attack happened and that she has been trying to live with the trauma of this incident for more than thirty four thirty five years and we know that it's fair been a female prosecutor who's been asking her questions rosalind throughout this process what's the thinking behind that what is the republican strategy there. well some republicans have privately a lot on that they were very much concerned about the visual impact the optics as they say here in washington of having eleven older white men question a somewhat younger woman although she is in her early fifty's about. a sexual assault they were very concerned that this could have very negative political implications for the republican party about five weeks before the midterm congressional elections and so they have brought in someone who is well known as someone who prosecutes such will solve cases in phoenix arizona as someone who
2:42 am
would perhaps handle the questioning in a more acceptable way at least from a political standpoint but there is already some chatter on social media and in some of the news websites that this strategy may have ended up backfiring because so far the attorney mitchell has not been able to shake policy forward from her story and as for kavanaugh himself we know that he will not be in the same room as boston ford so when should we expect to see him. well that's a good question it's already nearly two o'clock in the afternoon on the u.s. east coast this hearing started just about four hours ago and there was about thirty minutes or so of senatorial privilege speaking and recapping the process the case of the nomination of brett kavanaugh to be the new supreme court justice before the actual testimony and questioning began so he may not actually
2:43 am
began his testimony before the senators were for perhaps the dinner hour here on the u.s. east coast and as we're saying this is the first woman who's accused kavanagh for misconduct rosslyn but we've seen two others who have come forward in recent times . well certainly one of the things that senator byrd senatorial democrats wanted was to have more witnesses come forward and testify about what they know what they experienced however chuck grassley who is the chairman of the. judiciary committee said that his investigators tried multiple times at least eight times with the lawyers for one of the alleged victims and six times for the with the lawyers of the other alleged victim to try to get more information to try to get cooperation he said that that cooperation has not been forthcoming from the legal
2:44 am
teams of either of the other two women who have come forward to make these charges against common and so the he said with more cooperation with more information he was not going to allow them or anyone else for that matter to take part in this hearing here on capitol hill so that testimony still going on for the time being jordan thank you for that update from washington now one of the two suspects in the nerve agent attack in the u.k. has been identified as a russian military officer who received an honor from president vladimir putin the investigative journalism website belling katz says these photos prove the man named as russian as. i told the chippy go moscow denies any involvement in that attack the turkish president has landed in berlin for three days of talks with his counterpart german chancellor angela merkel of tabor to one is looking to improve its relation his relationship with europe's economic powerhouse turkey's been

2:50 am
hello thanks for joining us the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has accused the trumpet ministration of undermining the two state solution through multiple actions on different fronts including shifting of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv and cuts addressing the united nations general assembly president said the jerusalem is not for sale that the rights of palestinian people are not subject to bargaining. in all of these decisions this is ministration has reneged on all previous u.s. commitments and even undermined the two state solution and revealed a supposed claims of concern about the conditions of the palestinian people it's really ironic that the administration still talks about what they call the deal of the century what is left to this administration to give the palestinian people and
2:51 am
the humanitarian solutions because when they're removed from the negotiating table jerusalem refugees and security what is left as a political solution sara townson joining us live from the united nations in new york anything new in our bass's speech or was the message that he was trying to send out. well clearly that the deal of the century isn't a start of the deal of the century obviously the plan being cooked up by donald trump's son in law course not all trump said earlier this week that it may be ready in about three months but some of summarizing it summarizing its key formula a cash for peace not a formula that we always use which is land for peace so that's why would i bother saying it's these rights that we hold dearly which are actually trying to stuff a law for sale the makes that we've heard. washington is a jarred cushion who seems to think that the palestinian people to follow a pragmatic than the palestinian leadership and if that offered lots and lots of money for economic development and in gaza or in the west bank then they will
2:52 am
accept some sort of deal but doesn't try and the right of return that doesn't and try and east jerusalem as a capital mahmoud abbas's that saying no this simply isn't true and in fact you have a bit of a bit of a grim humor because part of this part of the deal of the century here is is that resurgence a resurrection of the idea that the palestinians would accept abu dis is their capital not east jerusalem as its internationally recognized and said look the capital is in east jerusalem it's not somewhere around east jerusalem he got a bit of a law for that because that he seems to be pointing out the fact that the trouble with the station doesn't seem to be as aware as it should be of how central to the palestinian struggle are all of these things like the right of. them to the palestinian cause yeah and so when he asks when they remove from the table jerusalem refugees and security what is left that is exactly what he said at the united nations assembly speech any calls on trying to rescind his decisions on
2:53 am
decrees regarding these issues one wonders how the u.s. administration is looking at what he had to say well clearly donald trump got an. enormous amounts of cash from extreme right wing supporters of israeli supremacy over the palestinians trouble knew what he had to do and he got pushed to very close to the right wing israeli figures like regimented netanyahu and they they started having this plan and president from people saying how much he loves israel and so on. this week though dole truck did see some of his advisors by explicitly talking about a two state solution for example which you haven't explicitly said before and there are all those who wonder whether even though he is surrounded by hawks on israel as with north korea as what some of the rumblings he has ever known about iran which were scripted advisors if if a deal does present himself his own ego would love to be the one who makes that
2:54 am
deals with that's always the wild card when it comes to trump even evil when it comes to israel palestine even as he's surrounded by strong supporters of benjamin netanyahu as he is ok see have a town see thank you well the palestinian president also spoke about israel's controversial jewish nation state law and said it would lead to an apartheid state while killing off the two state solution. each and i need last july israel adopted a rice is lord across all the red lines and called it the nation state law of the jewish people this law denies the connection of the palestinian people to their historic homeland and dismisses their right to self-determination and their history and heritage as well as united nations resolutions relevant to the palestine question and the agreements concluded with israel this will inevitably lead to the creation of one rice is an apartheid state as the two state solution imran khan
2:55 am
joining us from the occupied west bank city of any reaction there in iran to what i had to say to the general assembly. only the reaction that we're seeing is coming through from social media and it's very strongly in support of what abbas had to say to the general assembly saying that for the first not for the first time the palestinian position has been reiterated that israel and the u.s. no longer viable partners for peace something the palestinians have now been saying for a very long time just as his speech finished behind me in the main square in ramallah there were fireworks they were showing the speech live and you could hear all the cheering but there were no new ideas in his speech but the rich reiteration of the fear that there may not be a viable two state solution because of the recognition by the u.s. as jerusalem as being israel's capital because of increased settlement building because of this nation state law which mahmoud abbas very much criticized now off to a short while afterwards prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke he criticised mahmoud
2:56 am
abbas saying that he had no right to call israel a apartheid and racist state he said this was up to israel to decide what type of identity he wanted he had very very strong very critical words for mahmoud abbas but he didn't mention any kind of negotiations that were going to take place with the palestinians any kind of peace that might may well happen between the israelis and the palestinians also there was no talk of this deal of the century that the u.s. is offering only that he didn't mention this but we know from trump's earlier remarks that the president on the trip story of the united states his earlier remarks that there is a deal essentially coming into three months that was also criticized by mahmoud abbas saying well what's left to give us if you're not giving us jerusalem the right to return for refugees and security and borders and so when he says that we have concluded agreements with israel and they have abrogated all of them either
2:57 am
israel abides by these agreements or we will go back on them what are we to read into that statement will he be redefining the relationship with israel and many people will want to know whether he will be ending the security coordination that the palestinian authority continues to have with israel. well the legislative body all of the palestinian authority has auster president abbas to take a look at all of those agreements now the security coordination agreement is one of the crucial things palestine is the only country that's under occupation that has to give security guarantees to the people that are occupying it so they have to have the security coordination agreement now sensibly this is designed to stop acts of terror as israel calls them the mapping inside israeli territory but it's one of the key agreements they made as a prospect for a palestinian state it was one of the steps palestine was going to take with israel
2:58 am
and palestinians feel that israelis are and they don't want to be green it's like they have the rough end of the deal so when he gets back to ramallah it's likely that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas will take a look at all of those agreements and figure out exactly what to do with them if he pulls out of the key one which is the security coordination agreement that will have impact on israel's security and clearly security is one of the only things that really drawing prime minister benjamin netanyahu place popular with his base and as for what he had to say on hamas emraan he said we have also concluded agreements with hamas and either they implement them fully or we will distance ourselves from any agreements or measures there what does that signal to us. well that's all that signals a tougher line on hamas have long said they are the religious going to rule is of the gaza strip a mass has broken agreements with them in the past what does this mean for people in gaza is it they are worried that there may be well they will be more palestinian
2:59 am
sanctions coming against and the palestinian authority is refusing to pay hamas salaries within the strip itself because it says it's broken agreements with the palestinian authority so this was very much a message to hamas that it needs to get its house in order that it needs to allow the palestinian authority to be able to rule let's see how hamas react to that given all of the pressures going on at the moment this is also something the palestinians need to work out between themselves all right giving us the update from the thank you so shortly after a mom or the spoke to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu also addressed the united nations general assembly in a speech but he was focused on iran and he said that israel will continue to confront the islamic republic across the region israel will do whatever it must do to defend itself against iran's aggression we will continue to
3:00 am
act against you in syria we will act against you in lebanon we will act against you in iraq we will act against you whenever and wherever we must act to defend our state and to defend our people very far so joining us from wester islam so what is it was it expected terry that benjamin netanyahu would take on iran right from the beginning of his speech. it was really officials were trailing a big surprise revelation in benjamin a speech surprise certainly wasn't that he kicked off on the subject of iran what it was was what he said was a second iranian nuclear site inside tehran of course he made a big speech in major in which he talked about an israeli intelligence operation that had found hundreds of thousands of pieces of material and documents in an
