the amount that had been paid towards palestinian prisoners and their families those convicted of carrying out attacks on israelis during the course of twenty eighteen the calculations have now been made and the israeli government intends to withhold some one hundred thirty eight million us dollars in money that the palestinians say is theirs is their rightful money which should be paid to them under the system set up under the oslo accords a tax which is collected by israel and paid on a monthly basis to them the palestinians are saying that this is piracy that this is in contravention of those oslo accords and this is money that is required by the families of people who have been imprisoned by a military occupying power indeed among the palestinian population in general this is seen as a popular indeed a natural consequence of occupation and that those who have taken up resistance and

their families require such payments for israel and the israeli government it classes those people as terrorists classes these payments as incitement and despite the fact that according to wide reports of leaks from the israeli security establishment in the israeli media suggesting that such payment such a withholding policy could indeed exacerbate instability and indeed violence in the occupied west bank benjamin netanyahu in the middle of an election campaign where he is trying to court votes on the right wing of israeli politics has gone ahead and implemented it. saudi arabia's crown prince has signed several investment deals with pakistan with twenty billion dollars now megan salmond made the agreements on his first trip to the country since becoming at the throne the crown prince says pakistan is an important ally for riyadh. we believe that pakistan going to be very very important country in the coming future and you want to be sure that we are

of an unhealthy fixation let's say an obsession. which continues to this very day the demonisation of my country has been a convenient cross for seven consecutive american presidents to bed yesterday right here in munich. mr pence repeated the scars. then he added again to be demanded that europe must join the united states in undermining its own security and breaking a topic h. one of the main discussions at the conference was about the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal and even though the us on the president donald trump has withdrawn from it senior american politicians continue to stand by the agreement as when you as a strong supporter of the. nuclear agreement with iran and have we want to stick

challenges were also discussed such as cyber security but it is new solutions to old problems that many are looking to world leaders for. you nick. iranian president hassan rouhani is on a veiled a new domestically produced submarine which they say is capable of firing cruise missiles rouhani introduced the latest addition to iran's navy in the southern province a homeless guy on the new submarine is called a fatty or conqueror and especially designed to operate in iran's shallow coastal waters unlike its previous russian built submarines its equipment torpedoes a naval mines and to stay submerged for five weeks the u.s. special envoy for syria has reassured world leaders that the withdrawal of american troops from the country won't be abrupt james jeffrey insists it will be an orderly process and carried out in close consultation with allies they want congress more. in words designed to reassure european allies the u.s.

special envoy to syria said this on the planned withdrawal of troops from syria first of all this is not going to be an abrupt or rapid withdrawal it's going to be an orderly step by step withdrawal and at each point at each phase we're going to look at our underlying goals that i just laid out ensure that we have means capabilities and partners that can carry them out for us this still no plan at least one that is public on the details of the withdrawal however there did seem to be differences with turkey on what to do about the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces led by the kurdish group white b.g. . at the same conference in munich the turkish defense minister reiterated his country's view that the y.p. g. is a terrorist group the main body made issue of the are you and your goals security so the to get rid of the. terrorists. regardless of who they are going to be of light p.g.

they are whoever they are. the syrian democratic forces will be concerned that the u.s. has plans and some in the group think the u.s. may abandon them once the fight against isis last enclave embargos in southeastern syria is over with one of the syrian democratic forces most of all it has. he says there are about a thousand civilians that are trapped in the village also says it's also fighters have dug tunnels underneath the village and a vast majority of their fighters are hiding in. the u.s. president donald trump says pull u.s. forces out of syria when the eisel caliphate is defeated with a battle limburg was approaching a stalemate he may have to wait a few more days before making the victory declaration he's promised iraq does or doesn't it. russian lender gazprom bank has frozen bank accounts linked to the venezuelan state

oil firm but investor or transactions between the bank and the oil company have been halted the watch as news agency says gazprom bank is trying to reduce the risk of falling on the u.s. sanctions imposed last month meanwhile venezuela's president nicolas maduro continues to block food and medical supplies from the united states has been allowing in age from cuba and china despite this truckloads of goods are still crossing the border every day as i understand the reports and cooter the image of oil tankers in 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. 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 at that sugar is the answer. last september venezuela halted experts to colombia but kept importing much needed goods shipping agents say they've been a swale and government to use its corporate thieves to buy food from colombia and then distribute it in food boxes for the four. weeks count to ten trucks lined up on this bridge they carry. sold chemicals among other things and exporters tell us that. their family as well as paid being blocked 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 immune 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 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 in this 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. your center marco rubio has led a delegation to the city of the border between colombia and venezuela rubio described as an energy summit and unconstitutional of his it comes twenty four hours after two u.s. military planes arrived in colombia with a destined for venezuela. well madame jim is live for us now and back arraignment on the border between brazil and venezuela what's the situation where you are. a lawyer and here we're right on brazil's northern border with venezuela today according to the united nations refugee agency around six hundred to six hundred

fifty in israel and migrants crossed into brazil now that's a little bit less than it has been per day in the past week but they attribute that to the fact that it's a sunday it's a weekend here as they don't usually get as many people crossing over on weekend days now here where we are this is a processing center that is run by the federal government here in brazil with the army that is supported by you in each e.r. we've spoken to many migrants are here many of them are applying for asylum the putting in asylum claims many of the children are getting vaccinated they are getting immunized because there have been measles outbreaks in the past several months people are concerned about other diseases also pregnant women that cross over that medical care there is an area in this facility where they stay until they are transported by bus to the capital of the state of rhode island which is called vista it's about two hundred kilometers to the south now i guess the thing that i heard today from a venezuelan migrant that really impacted me the the depth of the crisis

a neighbor even israel i came from a twenty three year old venezuelan migron he's a student wants to become a journalist and he said that had he stayed in venezuela that he would have been faced with one of two choices either continue going to school or continue to be able to eat and that's something a sentiment that we heard echoed from many of the migrants we spoke with today who said that the situation is just so terrible inside venezuela humanitarian crisis is spiraling so much out of control that they just cannot stay they have to come here and try to search for a better future learn. that when a delivery might happen. you know it's a very good question because brazil's government has indicated in many occasions the past couple of weeks that there will be some type of aid distribution point will be set up here in a rhyme a state but those details haven't really been finalized and we know that there was a delegation of venezuelan opposition members that were here in brazil they were in

brasilia in the past week and we're told that there's going to be another delegation that is coming to this state or i'm a in the coming days in order to try to scout locations where a distribution center would be set up and also we've heard this state floated potentially the twenty third of the month is that might be the start date for when brazil with potentially attempt to start delivering aid into venezuela but it's still unclear we've not gotten official confirmation from government officials here we're still waiting and final word we have imagine though the way things are going here and because we continue to see these indications of a real commitment by brazil to try to get aid flowing into venezuela we assume that will be hearing more in the coming days and potentially some type of aid distribution center would be set up in the coming week to two weeks flowing. thank you very much indeed. still to come on al-jazeera on high alert a twenty four hour curfew was imposed in indian administered kashmir. at the high price of high fashion and the environment for activists trying to change the trend
