the world and. so many times when you call home al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that might a t. l two zero. zero . zero am fully back to go this is the news hour live from our headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes israel implements a controversial law that penalizes the palestinian authority for supporting the families of jailed palestinians. the saudi crown prince arrives in pakistan as part of a regional tore designed to see investment deals and boost relationships with asian allies. top people are looking. also this hour as stock warning from
9:01 pm
iran it says is a great risk of conflict with israel plus haiti's prime minister announces government salary cuts in a bit to quell violent protests over corruption. over the latest sports including all streams ski king marceau clinches victory in the slalom to win a record equalling sydney gold medal at the world championships. thank you for joining us israel has implemented a new law that will take away millions of dollars of tax revenue from the palestinian authority this is how it will work the palestinian government pays compensation to the families of people convicted by israel on charges of carrying out attacks israel will deduct an amount equal to that compensation from tax funds
9:02 pm
it raises on behalf of the palestinian authority that will cut revenue to the p.a. by one hundred thirty eight million dollars a year let's speak to our correspondent in jerusalem harry fossett hi why is this happening now. well it's happening as a result of a law which was passed in july last year which was designed to have this affects to withhold money that was being paid to what israel defines as terrorists and their families is also happening in the context of an israeli election campaign the erection elections due on april the ninth benjamin netanyahu trying to firm up his position on the right it was really politics at a time when there's been a huge outcry over a recent murder of an israeli teenager by a palestinian suspects just outside jerusalem but looking at the numbers a little bit more deeply it seems that and the israeli statement suggests that they
9:03 pm
are taking money away from what they estimate or what they conclude the palestinians are paying to attackers and their families there have been a figure of three hundred thirty million dollars a year which had been used by israeli think tanks which seem to coincide with what the palestinian authority or of the palestinian chips budget set aside for this system of welfare payments and so it seems they're trying to target. the payments that are going to those and the families of those who have attacked israelis in the past this is something that the israeli leadership benjamin netanyahu has allies have long advocated they have had support for that from many on the right in u.s. politics as well and benjamin netanyahu is going through with what he said he would do last weekend by implementing it so what's the palestinian response then harry.
9:04 pm
we're already well this was in the offing the palestinians have been saying the p.a. has been saying that this is nothing short of piracy it runs in contravention to the oslo accords and the system under which at least partially under which the taxes should be collected and paid to the palestinians as a matter of course that this is palestinian money which is being withheld or that israel has no right to do so the palestinian prisoners club is also saying that this is money which is required by the families of those who have often lost their breadwinners that this is not about rewarding or inciting terrorism far from it it's about making sure that people who have been imprisoned by an occupying military power the families are not collectively punished as a result so really there are two totally opposed views to this depending on which side of the divide you stand and it's worth saying as well it's worth saying as
9:05 pm
well that the israeli security establishment had according to widely leaked reports in israeli media had said to the israeli leadership that doing this could risk increasing stability instability rather in the occupied west bank potentially going to greater violence netanyahu is decided to go through and implement this law nonetheless thank you for that harry fox said live from western. saudi arabia is promising to invest twenty billion dollars in pakistan as crown prince mohammed bin salman launches three day visit to asia history country visit to asia should say that the shortly after he arrived in pakistan a back of government is facing a major debt crisis and this is the first leg of a tour that will also take one had been summoned to india and china. we believe that blacks are going to be very very important country in the coming future and you want to be sure that we are part of that so we are waiting for that kind of
9:06 pm
leadership to partner with and to build a lot of things together today with our and they will use we believe it's the amount of that kind of investment is twenty billion dollars it's big for phase one . and definitely going to grow if you manage to be in the bigger numbers that will be beneficial for both countries while this asia tour is being seen as an attempt to restore the crown prince's image after the scandal over the matter of jamal khashoggi and the saudi u.a.e. war in yemen at stake a closer look at the three countries saudi crown prince will be visiting and in particular the human rights record in pakistan amnesty international and human rights watch say in forces appearances are widespread and the government is increasingly cracking down on critics had been summoned then moved to india in the lead up to elections hindu nationalism has led to increased violence un experts have called for investigations into extra judicial killings while the government
9:07 pm
recently raided foreign charities and white schools and then china has been criticised for placing up to one million wiggle muslims in camps and detaining hundreds of human rights lawyers and activists sami handi is editor in chief of international interest which is a current affairs magazine he says the crown prince's visit is a desperate attempt to gain some political leverage over u.s. president donald trump. donald trump deeply resents the opec institution which is technically run by the saudis and in part by the russians and indeed there is a law being passed now by congress that is being that is going to allow the u.s. to prosecute opec states if they try to play with the price this is a big thing for saudi arabia which its whole foreign policy is built on oil it's built around co it's built on this ability to manhandle countries through its oil mohammed bisan man once essentially to rebuke trump to essentially say trump you
9:08 pm
can't do this to us i have other allies i can go to china i can go to india i can go to pakistan the reason why i believe that this visit is a reaction and it's not something that mohamed bin sentiment is proactively seeking other investors is because mohamed bin said man the affair is still rife everybody is still talking about it it's still affecting his image if you notice the india indonesia and malaysia visits have been postponed because he's worried about this backlash that might take place so why risk this p.r. only if you are desperate that's why you would do it saudi arabia is in desperate need of diversification it continues to rely on oil it is looking for political leverage from pakistan it is looking to india in order india one billion big economy it is looking to encourage the indians to come and invest in saudi arabia i'm not sure china will take too kindly to saudi arabia neither will the indians but this is a desperate plan by mohammed bin cement to save salvage whatever he has and three days security conference in munich has wrapped up with iran's foreign minister warning world leaders that there is
9:09 pm
a heightened risk of war with israel as every says israel's actions and those of the u.s. are increasing the chances of a new conflict in the middle east child reports some unique. on the third and final day of the munich security conference it was iran's turn to talk about the challenges facing peace and stability around the world its foreign minister david zarif telling leaders it was american and israeli policies that threatened international security and not those of his government at the recent meeting of let me just call it the underbidding. and you open the quest in war so the u.s. vice president. and the secretary of state both blasted europe on european soil foot even attempting albeit without much success to abide by its obligations under the j c p o a and under security council resolution twenty two thirty one yesterday right here in munich mr pence
9:10 pm
repeated this course then he added again to be demanded that europe must join the united states in undermining its own security and breaking to topic h. one of the main discussions at the conference was about the true thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal and even though the us on the president donald trump has withdrawn from its senior american politicians continue to stand by the agreement as when he was a strong supporter of the yes the nuclear agreement with iran and have we want to stick with supporting. their rainy and foreign minister however fail to address to her policies in syria and its support for president bashar assad both are accused of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and now that's iran and said seem to have won the war it seems that syria is being welcomed back into the international fold but not everyone is happy about that we are seeing countries are running back
9:11 pm
to normalize with the sierra jeem inviting the sierra jim to come back to the public and we raise the question what are. what the syrian regime has done in order to be rewarded by normalization rewarded by coming back to the legal fight of says another edition of the munich security conference has concluded yet many of the reasons for insecurity around the wall remain critics say those include some of the leaders who themselves were present at this conference now new challenges were also discussed such as cyber security but it is new solutions to old problems that many are looking to world leaders for. munich. meanwhile iran has unveiled a new submarine which it says is capable of firing cruise missiles president hassan rouhani introduced the latest addition to its naval streets in the port city of
9:12 pm
banda. dubbed the conqueror iranian media says it see countries first and i heavy submarine rouhani says the domestically produced vessel is state of the art one in marandi even affairs analysts and professor at the university of tehran he says developments in iran's defense systems will deter the u.s. from taking any military action. i think the iranians feel that it would be silly and foolish if they did not have a robust defense capability and the iranians believe that it is because of it defense capabilities and its defense industry and its high tech capabilities that the united states has refrained from any aggressive aggressive act towards iran well one of the things that the iranians have done is that they've developed a very. capable missile defense capability and both surface to surface surface to see surface to air and sea to sea and
9:13 pm
therefore it's made it much more difficult many of iran's defense and so they sions are deep underground this is the experience of the two thousand and six war between the israeli regime and hezbollah when the israelis invaded southern lebanon and were soundly defeated i think that experience really is part of iran's defense strategy in other words taking all of your sense of it installations underground so that the potential enemy cannot strike them and would not know exactly where your facilities are so your arm has extensive underground facilities and of course a submarine would be a part of that. twenty more ahead on this news hour including libya mox eight years since moammar gadhafi was removed from power and the high price of high fashion on the environment we need the activists trying to change the trend and it doesn't quite go according to plan for riyadh madrid as their home ground against a team much lower down in the standings it'll explain in sports.
9:14 pm
but first the crisis in venezuela and bank accounts to the venezuelan state oil for a mat russian lenda gas from bank have been frozen all transactions between. the bank and the oil company have also been halted their wages news agency says gas from bank is trying to reduce the risk of falling under u.s. sanctions the sanctions imposed last month are aimed at blocking president nicolas maduro as access to the country's oil revenue meanwhile the delivery of aid to venezuela has added a geopolitical element to the ongoing crisis president nicolas maduro is blocking food and medical supplies sent by the united states though he's allowing in aid from cuba and china shipment of u.s. surprise remain stranded in colombia truckloads of goods still cross the border
9:15 pm
every day. for some. image of oil tankers and shipping containers blocking this bridge on the colombian border has become the symbol of the standoff for control of venezuela. president nicolas maduro remains firm in his opposition to allowing the food and medical supplies from the united states into his country but the reality of the border is more complex than the blocking of a single bridge almost every night at eight o'clock the last venezuelans hastily make their way home over two other bridges in the city of. their open to foot traffic during the day and as they shut down at night trucks filled with projects appear what do you carry i think that sugar is the answer. that september venezuela halted experts to colombia they kept importing much needed goods shipping agents say they've been a swale and government uses corporate thieves to buy food from colombia and then
9:16 pm
distributed in food boxes for the four. weeks counted ten trucks lining up on this bridge they carry medicine so chemicals among other things and exporters tell us that i have been there too many as a being locked hearing cope with that. and some of the products being brought or being used in the same way that aid might be used at this warehouse we found food kits being prepared to be shipped to an independent organization quietly providing aid inside venezuela exporter just seeds that means to says that the u.s. aid could also be imported legally just like any import but there's a reason it isn't being allowed in but i know it sounds paradoxical to talk about a blockade and the media shows that bridge but on the other two bridges merchandise goes through the issue with the political we could find
9:17 pm
a foundation willing to import it and we could do it legally if they force it in the venezuelan government could argue that it's contraband and confiscate that colombia's foreign ministry says trade with been this way last fall in more than ninety. percent in a decade and that's the age should simply be let in for years working at this border i've seen the tragedy of thousands and thousands of kids and sick people in terrible conditions i'm convinced that there is no other option but helping the people in need humanity should be above any political and diplomatic tensions but with neither side in business well appearing willing to negotiate the aid shipment on the border will remain the flashpoint of the growing political struggle alison them. with the. meanwhile u.s. republican senator marco rubio has arrived at the konami evan is when a border one day after tons of american aid arrived in the city of kokoda this is the second shipment of american humanitarian supplies that's been sent this month
9:18 pm
will be a played a major role in convincing the administration to ratchet up pressure against president nicolas maduro now another potential routes for aid to be delivered into venezuela is still brazil al-jazeera is mamma john john is in the brazilian town of fact and i mine near the border joins us now live on the news hour on and worse is that is they have plans for aid to be delivered to venezuela from brazil. will fully there have been many reports in brazilian local media that brazil intends to work with venezuela's opposition to start delivering aid from this part of brazil's border with venezuela in the coming several days but it's not clear yet when exactly we know that there was a delegation associated with the venezuelan opposition leader why go that was in brazil last week and we have been told that it looks as though there is going to be
9:19 pm
another delegation from pin israel that is going to be traveling to this part of brazil in the coming days to try to set up some type of aid distribution facility unclear at this point if that would actually be here in phuket imo which is right on the border with venezuela which is essentially the main entry point in northern brazil for migrants from venezuela to enter this country or if in fact it would be involved which is the capital of this northern state which is about two hundred kilometers south of us we we we believe that will become clearer in the coming days but all indications right now from officials you have spoken to brazilian media outlets is that this plan will start coming into effect but potentially in the next five six seven days you are at a processing center there in packer imam ahmed whatever it is when instead telling you. you know fully i would say the thing that was most
9:20 pm
impactful that i heard today we were speaking earlier with a twenty three year old of venezuelans student his name is jackson and we asked him why he came here he said that in venezuela that he was a student and he had a simple choice to make either to continue studying or to be able to eat and then he told us about how difficult the situation was organise whalen's with the crisis that's going on there with hyperinflation with the political crisis out so he and members of one of his friend's family migrated together they arrived here today and this is what we're hearing from other migrants that are here the horrific conditions that are in venezuela why they are coming here now we're told from members of u.n.h.c.r. that's the u.n. refugee agency they help support this facility which is run by brazil's federal government and members of the army and we are told that there were about eight hundred to eight hundred rather sorry six hundred six hundred fifty migrants that
9:21 pm
crossed in today today is a less busy day because it's a weekend it's a sunday but in the last few days we're told there are anywhere between eight hundred to nine hundred migrants a day and that's a little bit higher than it was in the months in the past they expect that that number could actually become higher if the crisis deepens in neighboring venezuela in this processing center you have many areas to do many different things you have areas where they are processing asylum claims of areas where they are trying to get papers many people who come here do not have documentation you have an area where children can be immunized because you have had measles outbreaks here you have had tuberculosis that's been coming in so they want to make sure that people have the kind of medical care that they need and also you have a facility specifically a maternity ward for pregnant women who come here who need help going forward now the medical help is not actually received here many of these migrants who come here they then have to be bussed but two hundred kilometers south of bovis of that city we were talking about a few minutes ago that's where they receive more proper medical care but it's
9:22 pm
a very perilous journey. that these venezuela migrants were on they told us again and again about how difficult the conditions were for the white led them to make the choice to come here to neighboring brazil holding to so much for that mama jump june reporting there live from the brazil venezuela border thank you mohammed haiti's prime minister has announced budget cuts for himself and other government employees in an attempt to end mass protests over corruption people have been out on the streets for the last ten days demanding president of anomalies step down his administration is being accused of mismanaging the economy at least seven people have died since the protests began let's speak to ed says me who's an economist and professor at university he joins us from haiti's capital port au prince thank you so much for your time will this announcement and these proposals from the prime minister be enough to quell the anger of the protestors chemist end the crisis. i don't know any face and
9:23 pm
a crisis but we think that the message was well received by a lot of people. and we failed as a little beat more calm right now it's more stable from the past three days so you hope this step be the going to continue but it coming days so she announced a lot of measures. and tenor of expanding gut for his government and also some support kind of created for business and going to workers to to reduce the price on some commode it is like rice and other food so we hope that going to help but for now it is pretty much car in france for a lot of bass days and expect it to really continue to get that stability yeah but the protest has had been demanding that she step down is that so
9:24 pm
something they want despite you know all these measures his announced he think or do you think that he can now go on and continue with his you know with this mandate . or is there more pressure that he faces. i mean people are tired of they want to him to step down because they don't get the results so if you can resolve the issue can provide solutions so maybe some people are going to accept this fact that you can still be in power so the point is to really give fast result if you can prove that if people die and the prices can go down a little bit and they can find some some food and they can have. begin to resolve the currency crisis quickly and also to show how to stop a man a lot on his own i was just going to ask you whether these measures which as not you know a band-aid i mean it is it's not just temporary will this really. resolve haiti's
9:25 pm
longer term economic problems not think there's going to be like very very short term impact and then the government has to cool that he merely can we spec those measures because to say then it's one thing to act and it was paying them isn't it and so now people are expecting results people want to see action but if the government can't do any better just words it's going to be difficult to really keep up with the coming coming coming months and days what exactly is at the heart of the economic problems in haiti that people have been complaining about what fact is have contributed to this declining economy. that's different things first but for the sort of for the past three four years we didn't have you know
9:26 pm
support from the international community and the sort of picture guy response from the new zealand government it's it's ended so it's very hard for the government to keep up and i was so bad. i mean this is in a sort of bad management and also coercion so those things actually make the people in security in poverty situation even poorer every day because we can't create wealth as the demography a population that is worrying every day so it's become more difficult now to get access to services get access to goods while the economy is not growing and was so . big government thank you very much for speaking to us and sorry me an economist joining us and from port au prince thank you for your time thank you the u.s. special envoy for syria has reassured allies that the with jarl of american troops from the country will not be abrupt speaking from the munich security conference

9:31 pm
oh you an atheist for all practical purposes yes i support science and truth one of the figureheads for the new atheist movement if you believe something without evidence then that justifies anything to do except that religion has done good things despite all of our beliefs and all miracles if you believe that science holds all the nonsense in the world to be a better place if religion disappeared to more of the yes men to his son goes head to head with richard dawkins on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks health officials say vaccination rates here have dropped significantly with detailed coverage bajaur onto the streets of belgrade their country has worked when despite being the underdogs in the tournaments. from around the world there is growing resentment towards this currency you know exists here in senegal or
9:32 pm
throughout the francophone west africa. and. welcome back our top stories on al-jazeera israel has put a controversial new tax law into effect it withholds millions in transfers to the palestinian authority over spain and to prisoners jails for tots on israelis saudi arabia is from missing to invest twenty billion dollars in pakistan as crown prince mohammed bin soundman launches three country visit to asia which will also take him to india and china and haiti's prime minister has announced by jet cards for himself and other government employees in an attempt to end mass protests over
9:33 pm
corruption people have been out on the streets the last ten days demand. president given out more he stepped down. now plans for ted giant amazon to expand into saudi arabia under threat over a dispute between the company's c.e.o. and savagery of u.s. crown prince in twenty seventeen amazon announced it was frowning to build several data centers in the kingdom as part of its expansion in the middle east last year crown prince mohammed bin salman met with amazon boss jeff bezos sharing a trip to the us but i don't list save brands are now on hold after baseless accuse the saudis of being involved in leaking is fry it phone messages and photos and speak to sigurd knew about our aid in washington d.c. is a middle east analyst thank you so much for being with us so what do you make of these reports that amazon's expansion plans in. on hold what impact do you see this being on u.s. saudi business ties. the sell to desertion to to put
9:34 pm
all operations with amazon on the hold was inevitable precisely because the standoff between the president of the company just bezos and crown prince mammadov start arabia has become so personalized because we know the just basis also of the owner of the washington post where jamal khashoggi who was as we know murdered by this saudi government where he was a columnist so the saudi government has not been out they would how they washington post continues to cover it out story and it was there for inevitable that there would be political repercussions for. this is the first step that we're seeing yeah some saudis have even in calling for a boycott of his own over over this do you expect other american businesses to be affected by this huge. potentially i mean we could we can
9:35 pm
easily foresee two scenarios under the first scenario several american businesses may voluntarily decide not to invest in the saudi market and be part of these so-called saudi twenty thirty vision in in which prince mohammed has sought to privatized the economy away from from energy precisely because of the u.s. domestic concerns over human rights abuses in the congo and how it is handling the fallout over her shoulder murder so that's the first scenario the second scenario is or potential scenario is that we could see saudi government banding other companies. from entering into the saudi market potentially over not being supportive on the enough of the kingdom and of the prince in particular but president trump as you know continues to tout saudi arabia as very good for american business will that make a difference or is the fact that you know saudi arabia the u.s.
9:36 pm
congress is likely going to be imposing sanctions on saudi arabia soon over the war in yemen and the affair is that likely to have an impact on the overall relationship between the u.s. cents on to arabia. potentially but also for the region because we know why amazon has the second center for its cloud computing services inbox rain and the question is this will saudi arabia stance with the amazon will that impact how it is operating in bahrain we don't quite know how that will play out but precisely because the divisions in the united states are so sharp and so bitter including what you mention when it comes to saudi arabia that for u.s. businesses to enter into that market and potentially find itself in the cross here of these divisions could be leave to u.s. businesses and their reputations so this is a very unpredictable and fragile environment thank you so much for speaking to
9:37 pm
a secret joining us from washington d.c. thank you for your time pleasure. in france anti-semitism is back in the spotlight after a spate of high profile incidents in recent weeks the latest one an attack on a leading french jewish intellectual figure caught during a yellow vests rally in paris police intervened to protect carts when several men began hurling insults telling him to go back to tell of eve and we are france finkielkraut initially supported the yellow vests movement but criticize it in a recent interview with french media some yellow vest protesters have expressed racist or anti-semitic views online and on the sidelines of the protests while french president emmanuel mccall condemned the attack on social media saying the anti-semitic unsold sea was subjected to the absolute negation of who we are and what makes us a great nation we will not tolerate them while french authorities say there's been
9:38 pm
a seventy four percent increase in untie symmetric incidents since twenty seventeen france is home to europe's largest jewish community with six hundred thousand people many say the anti-government yellow vest movement has fueled hate speech israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly appealed to french jews to move to israel since the twenty fifteen attacks on the satirical newspaper. and a jewish supermarket in paris less than eighteen thousand people have moved to israel in the last three years though two hundred thousand people have indicated in a survey that they wanted to leave france it go to whole show is a political theorist at the university of nottingham he says it may be too simplistic to link the yellow vs movement to the rise in untie semitism. i think it's difficult to make that straight amalgamation. event that happened recently was that this chain of bagel restaurants called bagel stein was also had graffiti on it saying juden jews jews out but the owner quickly said well you know you can think
9:39 pm
that today yellow vest because it was the day before to protest it wasn't even on there on the path that they were meant to take so there's a real question as there's clearly elements of within the yellow vest that are anti semitic you mentioned on the if you can call it and reception he got yesterday and also on law and we've also had examples of some of yellow vests doing the infamous canel salute which was popularized by an anti-semitic humorist called judoon in so it was that me seems to be descendants in europe does been a rise across europe and in france but across europe of populism that is allowed a certain type of language to gain more currency than perhaps it would have done before and i think link that i think there's definitely a question of the role social media has played in this would be naive to think that it's some anti-semitism is ever gone away i think there has been an increase of jews going back to israel but then there are no never there's often some who go to
9:40 pm
israel then come back to france and in many ways if that is really the response then you're kind of giving in it's kind of accepting the fact that these countries are meeting you can't live there anymore and then you leave i think though be a real considered to be a real failure and go for those people who want to find out the semitism for also that states in the public forces response to the jews were to leave i think the environment has to be created again where they feel that they are protected that they're secure in their countries in which they live and that they're fully fledged citizens and they can believe they can participate in the types of life if it was just everybody to go to israel then they would just mean european politicians have failed. people in libya mocking the eighth anniversary of the side of the twenty seven revolution protests in benghazi eventually led to the toppling of longtime need a moment daffy while many say much has changed political divisions are still taking their toll on the country. a twenty four hour curfew is in force in indian
