a binational region and we depend on friendship family ties i don't think it will affect us but it's lamentable for the president of the united states to make those statements. in mexico. border. one of the first reactions that we heard to president trump's remarks here in mexico was from a bit out of the foreign minister of mexico who took to twitter to say that mexico does not react to threats adding that mexico is a good neighbor to the united states but for the most part people in mexico don't hang on every word or every tweet published by president trump in fact the mexican government has acted already politically on several directives by the united states' policy wise specific to the border in terms of containment of migrant containment of unaccompanied minors as well as the so-called remained in mexico program which requires central american asylum seekers to be sent back to mexico while their asylum cases are processed in the united states of course is
4:01 pm
a departure away from decades of asylum policy that would otherwise allow central american asylum seekers to wait in the united states until their court cases are filed so at the moment what we're hearing this rhetoric from president trump saying that mexico needs to prevent any more migrants from coming into the country is lacking specificity what we're hearing overwhelmingly from immigration experts is that without addressing the root causes of migration which are extreme poverty high levels of violence as well as political instabilities in countries like honduras el salvador and guatemala which is known as the northern triangle of central america without addressing those issues there is no curbing back the flow of migration there is no stopping the flow of these migrant caravans that we've seen make their way out of central america across mexico and into the southern border of the united states over the last year so it would be interesting and i think that that is something that the mexican people would like to know is what exactly it is that the

4:13 pm
a no deal scenario of britain's leaving the european union without a deal is something that's been mentioned by many top officials including the use a chief exec negotiator michel barnier and there's certainly a growing sense of frustration amongst officials that this bridge that process is taking so long that it is deadlocked and that sense of frustration has been fueled by the events in the british parliament today in which you came peace decided not to support the withdrawal agreement that decision was met by great disappointment amongst the u. officials we heard from the e.u. commission spokesperson saying it was with deep regret that they you saw what was happening in terms of what happens next of course we have reported tens as the next day to look out for because that is the day that the e.u. council president donald tusk has sent for an e.u. summit to resume a the british prime minister has been invited to that summit she's been told that

4:22 pm
ellen welcome to the program pollan march thirtieth marks a year since mass demonstrations began at the fence that separates gaza from israel and since then on friday afternoon prayers have been followed by demonstrations by hundreds of palestinians they are demanding their right to return to their homes and the land their families were expelled from seventy years ago israeli soldiers have responded by firing live ammunition and gaza's health ministry says that now killed more than two hundred fifty people and injured thousands of those hurt the united nations says more than one hundred twenty people have had one or both legs amputated and un investigators say israel has committed war crimes all this at a time of heightened tensions in the region so what is the way forward well there is plenty to discuss with our guest but first harry fawcett sets us up with this report a toilet for human has been involved in the protests since the beginning his right
4:23 pm
leg had to be amputated after he was shot by an israeli sniper last be free as soon as he was able he started going back again every week but this weekend's first anniversary he says is different. i'm not going anywhere why should i go on saturday there are going to be a lot of people killed tensions have risen again this week after a rocket fired from gaza hit a family home north of tel aviv injuring seven israeli airstrikes to follow destroy the offices of hamas as political leader among dozens of targets israel has built up ground forces on the gaza border threatening further military action is all israelis should know that if a comprehensive campaign is required we were entered strongly and after we have exhausted all of the other options those options center on egyptian mediation towards a deal understood to involve calm on the border and an end to rocket fire in exchange for an easing of israeli economic restrictions in the expansion of the un job
4:24 pm
program seeds over the tension and conflict if it is still still existed in gaza unless the bigger problem for gaza which is a political in the completion and in the way the seed i expect that there will be more rounds of confrontation the great march return protests began on the thirtieth of march last year after a call to action against the israeli siege by civil society groups in gaza since then gaza's health ministry says israeli snipers have shot and injured more than six and a half thousand protesters killing more than two hundred fifty people children journalists and medical workers among them a un investigation found that while some protesters used violence the vast majority were unarmed and peaceful it stated that israel had no justification for using live bullets and they were reasonable grounds to believe it had committed serious violations of human rights for twelve months now the protests in these border areas have been an expression of the sheer desperation felt so widely in gaza but increasingly in evidence has also been how masses ability to dial them up and dial
4:25 pm
them down now with the israeli army staging a major show of force on the other side of this fence gaza's ruling faction has to decide how to calibrate this weekend's events in order to get what they most want major concessions out of israel and hamas is under pressure. to get results earlier this month protesters went to the streets instead of the border over price rises and tax hikes from a security put the demonstrations down with beatings and arrests but the core of those protests the same feelings of despair and frustration that for a year now and despite all the risks that brought thousands to the border week after week kerry force it out zero for inside story gaza. we can now bring in our guests from gaza city are abu sada professor of political science at al azhar university in gaza and from west jerusalem we have mitchell barak c.e.o. of kievan global research and he was the advisory to the former israeli president
4:26 pm
shimon peres and speechwriter for the x. prime minister ariel sharon and from haifa israel by skype he jazzy is the deputy regional director covering the middle east and north africa region for amnesty international thank you all very much for joining us now i'm going to get straight to it and let's start in gaza in gaza with more. firstly as words talking about these anniversary as the anniversary of the protests is coming up what's your expectation for it do you expect that there will be a large turnout will see the kind of momentum that has been building up. well let me start by saying that the palestinian factions mainly hamas and islamic jihad and other palestinian factions have been preparing for this first anniversary of the gaza are big mush of return and breaking the siege for many days now and it is expected to be a big ten out tomorrow another question with oh there would be violence or there
4:27 pm
would be defend injuries tomorrow or not it would be seen but my it my understanding is that the egyptian security delegation who have been shuttling between tel aviv and gaza for the past forty eight hours are trying to defuse any further violence between gaza and israel along the border tomorrow but my estimation is that there will be tens of thousands of palestinians committing the first anniversary of the great mush of it in and also its course sided with monday out in palestine. but i believe that there are at the have us on the security services which belong to hamas they will try to destroy a in palestinian protesters from approaching the sufficient fence between gaza and israel and try to minimize the number of casualties on the palestinian side but it also depends on the behavior this way the snipers and its way to soldiers who over
4:28 pm
the past year have killed more than two hundred and sixty palestinians and injured thousands of palestinians over the past year now to back i've seen you not to ever there i am what is your expectation and what is the expectation from the israeli side as we come up to this big day. well i'm sure it'll be a successful turnout because as he says a hamas and islamic jihad two terror organizations bent on the destruction of israel have arrested hundreds of buses and there are thirty eight different locations throughout the gaza strip and they're going to be bussing people to five different locations on the border so i'm sure it's going to be a very big turnout but my question is are you going to let kids on the bus is this going to be where you put kids in the front line like you did all last year and all last summer we're going to push them up to the front lines and tell them to go rush the fence i think you have to have some responsibility here and understand that rushing a fence and trying to break through a border or releasing flaming kites or putting kids in the frontline or launching
4:29 pm
missiles even by accident which you say you do is not going to go on the israeli side israel will be there with massive force to protect its border and to make sure that nobody comes through and that cuts aren't launched and that's been the problem in the last year is that israel has had to respond to all these new kinds of threats over the border and that's where it stands on the israeli side israel is not looking for alter cation is not looking for a fight is not looking to use force especially now right before the election so let's see how the other side behaves but if you're bussing people in then you've got to control those people again brought up so many points we need to talk about that but first let's go over to high five and one let's let's stay with us line of responsibility misty's been documenting the past year of protest tell us about the findings off your latest report which i believe you are an author to and the main
4:30 pm
message that comes out if it. says you so you've been monitoring what you meant to punish and the potential to put this you know exactly. this will so it's been done by who you are going to be those issues c.n.n. has really and we've also been. u.n. commission of inquiry report published in a couple of weeks ago in the human rights council what we found is that israeli forces have been using a lot of. lethal force excessive force against an see them straight on the fence this which has led to a lot of killings many of which amount to work crimes there's also we've. documented the pattern of the use of force as the lead to severe injury like changing injury of of protesters and that's what's as pointed to what seems like
4:31 pm
a policy meaning and causing the severe injuries to the protesters targeting has also included medics journalists and children according to the un office of the commission of human ten affairs in the uk quite honestly the territories or. one hundred ninety five cities have been killed in the context of protests. in know this one year span including forty one children and there's been more than twenty nine thousand injuries according to the commission of inquiry to put. to get it over underneath achilles. as well as injuries and in the report they expose one hundred twenty two injuries. and it was life changing injuries where people have lost their lives these include twenty one children so this is a very dangerous part and we are extremely worried that was going to happen tomorrow israel has an obligation to refrain from using excessive force and this is
4:32 pm
. it in terms of law it's a policing of them stretches it's not it's not active hostilities and therefore israel should as also the occupying out have the safety of the people to stop can. we'll go through some of those points you talked about in detail but first let me go back to my first one of the themes of this program is what has been achieved by these protests and to put it bluntly as we're hearing those numbers aside from more injuries aggression from israel deaths what have these protests actually achieved for the palestinian people. but it please if you could allow me just to respond to what was mentioned by michonne about iraq from jerusalem before i answer your question it seems to me that mr about iraq is ignoring the fact that israel is occupying palestinian land for more than half a century now and also israel is besieging the gazans to and enforcing looked at
4:33 pm
punishment on two million palestinians in gaza when live conditions have deteriorated to two are very low level and let me do also alert you against a mist of what i doubt its his way to snipers and his way to soldiers who have killed hundreds of palestinians an end to thousands of palestinians not all of them approached the fence some of those yes some of those who were killed and injured were approaching and were tried to infiltrate the fence but as it was documented by amnesty international there were many palestinian civilians a journalist apart a mother and civilians children who were shot and killed and they were at a very far away from the separation fence between gaza and israel anyway going back to question what has been achieved over the past year i yes the palestinians have fed up that is the price in terms of the sacrifices that they have faded but i believe that the mother get most of it in
4:34 pm
a bed in the siege have made palestine and the siege over gaza are again synthes to john regional and international politics and second as a result of this marshall britain israel has agreed finally to ease and livy it it's a jump like kid again is gaza by are now in qatar the money into gaza to. took to the power station and to employ thousands of palestinians and also is when i get aid to our now more exports from gaza into the west bank and israel and we are hoping that is when it will come back to its mind and put an end to it see the jump blockade against two million palestinians in gaza. barak i'm going to let you respond to some off and mr abu sada comments directed at you would you like to tell us what you think. you know i don't even know where to begin meaning you know we're ten minutes into the program and neither the gentleman from them this the war
4:35 pm
from gaza mentions that thousands of rockets have been fired into israel that hundreds of kites with full flammable liquid has been launched into israel burning fields terrorizing civilians nobody mentioned it sounds like the march on washington of martin luther king just peaceful protesters at the border some are too close some are maybe too far some are only burning tires you know israel acted you know aggressively first of all every single one of these deaths every single one of these casualties and every single one of the thousands of people injured which is terrible many of them with life changing injury it all could have been avoided it all didn't have to happen israel didn't ask to come and protest and do violent protests israel didn't ask and push teenagers to charge the fence journalists i think there were some cases of journalists that are also members of terror organizations israel didn't ask for this israel warned the palestinian
4:36 pm
population in gaza there is a real humanitarian crisis but maybe you should look at the people that are stealing the humanitarian aid and using it to build tunnels and using it to buy themselves things and using it for terror purposes and not for. to help the people and it's a you know prime minister that you know is under terrible terrible criticism because he's allowing qatar to come in and to give money so that the whole place doesn't collapse this real humanitarian issues there there's no clean drinking water in gaza there are children that don't have food that should be addressed by the palestinian leadership not the march of gaza not talking about our kit. haitian not talking about a siege because every time israel lets in thousands of tons of concrete the concrete doesn't go to build schools and hospitals the concrete goes to build tunnels in order to attack israel and that's unfortunate because the people of gaza those two million people they deserve better leadership they deserve
4:37 pm
a leadership that is not a terrorist organization they deserve to live peacefully side by side with israel just like israel israelis deserve to live peacefully side by side with gazans and with that kind of leadership you're not going to get anywhere and that kind of rhetoric you're not going to get anywhere so pushing people to the limit tomorrow not going to be a good thing. for that it does he so given what we've heard from both sides. what do you think these protests have achieved if anything at all. when they raised the gazans voice. very hard in protest of the conditions which israel we haven't suffered before unfortunate that we have to remind. like now that israel is the occupying power it has been imposing it no more than twelve years now on olof and blockade on the gaza strip that amounts to collective punishment this is the prime reason for the protests people are protesting against these conditions they want
4:38 pm
the blockade to be lifted they were rightly want their rights to be respected and protected and just a point here that people in gaza have agency and then shown that not only protesting against israeli policies and israeli occupation and that for a year a lawful blockade but they've also shown that they they protest policies by hamas the five to government in gaza people are rejecting the conditions which are imposed on them and i think. now the people around the world. governments as long as these as well as scientists i have heard the message you know it's our responsibility to take an action and again i remind of the commission of inquiry report it was a detail in the situation unfortunately israel prevented the members of the investigators from the commission of inquiry to enter israel or gaza to carry out investigations or lie but they were able to to do it regardless they came to
4:39 pm
conclusions they have recommendations including recommendations for international justice and i think now actually it's past time now that international justice. takes a lot of takes role here as as for amnesty we're also at it pull to impose an arms embargo on israel until it basically abides by its international commitments and commitment the commitments to human rights and stops these by dishes against people that they occupy. now i want to go back to a point that mitchell barak made. mr abu said that who is in charge in gaza now and do people i mean the i think the media answer would be hamas but do people trust them given that they have suppressed demonstrations themselves criticizing them quite aggressively so who is in charge and if these protests do actually result result in some kind of a result who's going to be leading the people there were the short also to question
4:40 pm
is who is in charge and girls are they also is how the us hamas has been in charge of girls of with a post that will views in spite of the fact that there is something we called the palestinians consensus government but it has been absent from the girl's us to put more than a year no. since the attempted assassination on them and my point is that there were more protests against hamas and criticizing hamas and hamas crackdown on those protesters which takes away some their legitimacy in pointing the fingers across the border do people still feel that they are equipped to leave them. without that what i was just going to say are the palestinians in gaza hold israel responsible for their suffering they hold the palestinian authority who have imposed a punitive measures for more than two years on the two million palestinian also in gaza responsible and also how muscle is the de facto government in gaza is
4:41 pm
responsible for the deterioration of the living conditions and that's why the two weeks ago hundreds of thousands of palestinians a protest is and in the middle of the streets of gaza again is how has this put this to the ghettos the living conditions under the slogan was we wanted to live we wanted to live a dignified life but unfortunately hamas does in a value brutal way it doesn't it security forces do it in a very brutal way again is that austin and put this those of us thing on deserve them and beaten also hundreds of them which was which give a very negative image of how the us and its security forces in the gaza strip so here you go you have the palestinian people in a very very tight spot their leadership also aggression against them across the border they're having you know there's conflict there too what happens to to the people of gaza and then if i can bring you in mr mitchell barak i have these
4:42 pm
protests changed in any way the way israel would deal with the people of gaza are perhaps change their approach and give some kind of concession. again this that is no i mean i think prime minister netanyahu has been very fair in trying to make sure the place doesn't collapse from a humanitarian aspect you know you may mention early in the program i worked i wrote speeches for prime minister ariel sharon so we're going back what is it fifteen years when he first announced his disengagement plan from gaza so you want to talk about occupation let's talk about gaza there were israeli settlements in gaza there were israeli cemetery there was a cemetery in gaza and sure own said i'm going to get out every israeli presence every israeli settlement settler there and we're going to leave and hopefully the people of gaza and the leadership of gaza will take it as an opportunity and they'll turn it into universities and hospitals and high tech centers and they will
4:43 pm
