hello again welcome back we are looking at some very very messy weather over the next few days take a look at the satellite image we've been talking about the system that is coming in off the eastern mediterranean brings a very heavy rain across the region it's not all going to be affecting parts of the western lavonne but also into parts of iraq as well as into iran and this is the area they were very concerned about as we begin the week and the reason being is because we just had flooding there deadly flooding just earlier in the week and now more rain is expected to fall and we're expecting anywhere between one hundred and two hundred millimeters of rainfall in probably by the time we get towards monday and tuesday well here across the rest of the gulf it is going to be clouds and it's going to be temperatures on the way up so here on sunday for doha about thirty two degrees but that's not the extent of it as we go towards monday it's going to reach about thirty seven degrees here but that's going to be the only day by the time we
2:05 am
get to tuesday those temperatures will drop back down to the high twenty's we think and then very quickly across parts of the southern part of africa we are looking fairly decent down here towards the south medic ask are still has some more heavy rain in the forecast over the next few days but attempt to there of twenty eight degrees for cape town though it is going to be a little chilly a few as we go towards fall attempt to there of nineteen degrees but durban still quite warm with a temperature of twenty nine. up to.

recognition of these really solving t. over the occupied golan heights. and britain's prime minister is considering a fourth attempt to get her e.u. deal through parliament as she faces a potentially catastrophic no deal breaker a message in two weeks. u.s. president donald trump is reported to have demanded north korea hand over its nuclear weapons at the vietnam summit last month fast according to a report from the reuters news agency trump is said to have presented with a document calling for the transfer of pyongyang's nuclear weapons and bomb fuel to the u.s. it's the first time trump would have explicitly defined what he meant by denuclearization to kim jong il and a lunch between the two leaders was canceled the same day before the summit was cut short the article hate has more from washington. this letter is significant because of what has happened in the past we know the national security advisor john bolton wants to pursue in north korea what he calls the libyan model that is where libya
2:08 am
gave up its nuclear weapons or they believe they did give the nuclear weapons chemical biological weapons sent it to the united states in return for sanctions relief that is something that infuriated the north koreans they said that was a nonstarter and there. were to cancel negotiations so president donald trump came out and said no we don't want the libyan model obviously north koreans are very aware of what happened to moammar gadhafi the leader of libya who was killed by rebels and overthrown in his country so the letter basically spells out what the u.s. wants and that is sending all of the nuclear weapons in and bomb fuel to the united states complete disarmament of the biological chemical weapons full inspections getting rid of all missile sites basically that is what the u.s. says is full the nuclearization that is a nonstarter for kim jong un he has said that he wants to negotiate directly with the u.s. president donald trump who often talks about the letters that he. calls them love letters says they're in love this is clearly the president's staff trying to make
2:09 am
sure he doesn't give too much away because of that what he calls such a great relationship so they're laying out the terms that are obviously not favorable to him and could explain why the negotiations simply broke down u.s. president donald trump has threatened to close the country seven border next week a nest mexico stops people from crossing over a legally insists his quote not playing games and warned it could affect all trade between the two nations mike hanna has more from washington. in recent weeks port officials have been repeatedly arguing that they simply do not have the facilities to cope with the influx of immigrants across the border they say there are not enough officers there and they simply do not have enough accommodation for the numbers that are coming across this obviously playing on president trump's mind eating to his angry outbursts in the course of the day. president trump arrives to
2:10 am
view a rehabilitation project at a lake in florida but it's not the wind blowing water level or this dam wall that's foremost on his mind rather his fury with what he describes as mexico's reluctance to prevent immigration across the southern border so mexico is tough they can stop them but they chose not to now they're going to stop them and if they don't stop them with closing the border they will close their work we'll keep a close for a long time i'm not playing games mexico has to stuff it this repeating what he said in earlier tweets if mexico doesn't immediately stop all illegal immigration coming into the united states through our southern border emitting the h. in his anger i will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week it's a threat the president made back in december but never carried it through however his latest comments follow warnings from the department of homeland security that
2:11 am
its resources have become strained and border officials say more people are expected to be apprehended at the border this march than in any month in more than a decade. the consequences of closure would be severe impacting on two way trade that is worth more than six hundred billion dollars a year and fueling president trumps fire his homeland secretary kirsten nielsen issued a press statement later on in the day saying that the situation at the border was in freefall very strong words from the homeland secretary and words that the president is likely to seize on in the days ahead mexico's president has reacted to trans threat but was reluctant to get into a war of words no more your. believe me sasa least i'm not going to start an argument over this i'm going to be very cautious due to a series of circumstances along them because we want to lead

a very good relationship with the government of the united states. hundreds of central american asylum seekers on the us mexico border are in limbo under the trump administration's hardline policies the regulations require migraines to remain in mexico for months under sometimes precarious conditions until their court dates money out reports on the mexican border city of tijuana. it's another day at a migrant shelter on the us mexico border almost everyone here is from central america and they're seeking asylum in the united states. in the past migrants would be allowed to wait in the u.s. while their cases were considered but a change in policy by the trumpet ministration now requires them to be sent back to mexico until their case numbers are called yes back at the i arrived in tehran and applied for a number because they said that with the number everything would work out now i'm saying that's not the case because. most of the people at this shelter have been
2:13 am
here for several months many of them tell us they don't feel safe just. the americans asked me if i had somewhere to stay in tijuana i said no we don't we don't have family here or anything they asked if it's dangerous for us in mexico and i said yes we run a risk there but they still send us back here i don't feel that's right. the city of the one who has seen an increase in violent crime in recent months there have been almost five hundred people killed so far in two thousand and thirteen adding to the more than twenty five hundred homicides reported last year. for central american asylum seekers like nineteen year old idea being stuck in mexico seems just as dangerous as returning to his home in honduras about you and i am here and here want to get kidnapped or something worse because of all the criminals as a migrant you could scare them but no matter i suppose we have to stay here for some time. human rights advocate because of clarke says the change in policy by the
2:14 am
u.s. is turning the mexico side. border into a massive waiting room for asylum applicants look at it but what the united states is intending to do is dissuade migrants by making the asylum process in the united states more bureaucratic this year an estimated two hundred forty individuals have been sent back to the one and under the trumpet ministrations remain in mexico program but is the policy expands to more cities along the border that number is expected to rise significantly u.s. officials have defended the policy of returning central american asylum seekers to mexico calling it a vital response to a crisis at the southern border but human rights groups warn that the program could have the opposite effect and push more desperate migrants to cross over illegally went up. at the us mexico border the families of kenyan passengers who were killed when an ethiopian airlines plane crash last month have begun holding humoral

2:21 am
has raised fears about a potential epidemic the cycle and killed more than seven hundred people in southern africa inside story starts now. could robots kill all the un is currently being urged to ban weapons that can cost fatal harm without human control so how likely is this and how prepared are we for what could be a lethal development in our official intelligence this is inside story.
2:22 am
hello and welcome to the program i'm divya gopalan killer robots well that sounds like the name of a science fiction movie but they could become a reality and soon scientists say artificial intelligence has developed so quickly that we could be seeing weapons that can choose a targets and kill without a human controlling it the u.n. has held five days of talks in geneva on banning what are known as lethal autonomous weapons but the us russia israel and the u.k. are against any restrictions saying these developments could make war safer we'll be bringing our guests and just a moment but first here's a science and technology editor mariana hawn and. all we have here is our primary test facility i was driving around twenty four hours a day seven days a week robots road here being tested to deliver discover to do what they're programmed to do. but what you want to find here is a so-called kill of robot
2:23 am
a fully autonomous weapon designed to hunt and kill without a human involved as far as we know they don't exist yet but canadian company clear path insists killer robots have no place on the battlefield we feel that there is a a line which is being crossed with this technology and we feel that on top of being riskier than anyone that actually appreciates right now there is a disconnect from there is an ethical and moral disconnect from from war we think that these weapon systems are going to be used in all sorts of dangerous ways both by major powers and non-state actors alike i love. the risks of say i'm ashamed killing the wrong person of being hacked of engaging with another machine in a conflict a some of the reasons the company says it took
2:24 am
a stand in two thousand and fourteen it has committed to not knowingly at least create fully autonomous weapons thousands of scientists engineers to companies and out official intelligence experts have done the same but they're not shunning military contracts completely they say ai can be a valuable tool. the pentagon just last month called on big companies to help develop its ai capabilities russia and china are already investing in military ai technology i think it really first comes down to the responsibility of every engineer and developer to ensure that that. the governments around the world are aware of the risks in the use of this technology and that these decisions are being made in a in a rational considered way and then from there perhaps they can start having
2:25 am
conversations about. if their company in particular themselves in particular should work on these this technology take which is a demanding transparency it's the bosses i knew had potentially lucrative defense contracts some of them have chosen to leave and work for companies like cleopatra it all boils down to wanting to know what they create and whether it's technology that could kill all save lives medium hond al-jazeera. and we can now bring in our panel joining us from london as well crossthwaite he's the co-founder of ken's i that's an artificial analysis consultancy company and in oxford on skype. mario rosaria had a zero research fellow at the oxford internet and city and also in london toby cadman an international human rights lawyer and barrister at guernica thirty seven
2:26 am
an international law firm. welcome to the program i am going to start with a mess that day oh and i ask you why is there so much concern about these lethal automated weapons why has it come to this where the united nations is making are there is a conversation about banning them. from the conversation as being i don't. use autonomous systems in conflict or in not on the battlefield is something that is being constantly evolving for the past two decades at the moment the discussion has gained much more momentum because we are the point in which we start seeing here i though being quite fast and becoming very successful in its development and it is a chance this thing i want to start the use of on the systems within. weapons systems on the battlefield the question is that those who were planning to
2:27 am
these machines and the bought a feel thing that well is not obstructed is going to help save the life of the soldiers of the army was the plight of these machines but there's also be important question to be address which is whether a machine should be left in charge of deciding whether to kill a human being or not which is a fundamentally ethical question should never be the case that human life is taken by a machine was designed the sighted autonomy to go their way and this question opens up as you say as people who say it kind of worms because there are a lot of other issues having to do to the principal of human dignity the right to life but those are specific questions which afterward are to do with just were cheery and is about the principle of distinction proportionality attributions possibility so basically we see a new development in that no g. which could facilitate were riding. my horse riding to a much more mythical level the receipt still hot. and people
2:28 am
such as this is conscience ok we'll cross wade how far are we from seeing machines being able to make decisions or targets humans and kill them without human control behind them is this the direction we're heading. well targeting human beings to kill them automatically is something that we are already seeing an already able to do there's already automatic weapons like the filing system on ships which enables automatically to shoot down incoming missiles or threats to that ship and that's been in deployment since the one nine hundred eighty s. so we're already seeing weapons which are being able to automatically operate themselves albeit that that's done under the control of a human operator so that come that human operator has to operate the machine turn it on and switch it to automatic mode so we're already seeing weapons systems like this that are already in deployment what we're talking about here i think where the
2:29 am
hype has around as is that we're looking at weapons systems which are making the decision to kill now that's a very different principle and that sort of giving autonomy to machines in the sense that they're making the thought process behind whether it's viable to kill a person or not and i think that we're very far away from it decades if not longer because to him a sheen intelligence is not ready at that stage machine intelligence is being deployed into weapon systems in a smaller scale where it's being used in a very targeted way whether it's target acquisition whether that's using convolutional neural networks to visually identify targets which is something that project maven sought to do with google last year with the with the u.s. government but overarching leigh it's a different question between automatic machines that can kill and machines that can choose to kill and that's something that should not be conflated and something which i think we are at risk of conflating and i think that that's the position of
2:30 am
many governments around the world that we conflate those two are arguments up between automatic weapons the designed to target and the parameters set by human beings on the one hand and on the other hand machines that are making the decision to kill off their own back. so we can let me bring you in on the how far or how closely does the current do the current regulations we have right now the current principles of law of armed conflict international humanitarian law how how acquits are they currently to deal with the issue of automated weapons or lethal automated weapons where these machines or so-called robots are doing the killing or perhaps even in the decision process of who should be targeted. i can as i speak as already sent in a speaker who was referring to questions such as proportionality. there are
2:31 am
obviously a number of legal principles when a military. action is carried out there are certain things that we need to look at as to whether it was a military target whether the civilian casualties has been minimized more than whether we can say it was proportional so there are already existing rules as to determining whether a military campaign constitutes a crime under international law. i think what's what's interesting is certainly the position that the united kingdom has taken in the current debate which is going on at the u.n. is that they are not at the stage where there is no shipment that human element in the carrying out the attack so there is always going to be a level of responsibility i think as with many things that we're looking at currently around the world it's not
2:32 am
a question of whether the law is not in step with with technology is whether there is an effect of accountability mechanism to in course those rules you know we have courts have a course different. jurisdictions there are the international and domestic level where individuals can be held accountable if if we can say that it is not in accordance with international humanitarian law the difficulty is holding accountable drone attacks as we move forward with less human control but it's still going to be. an element of holding individuals responsible and as we've had when we are far away from the stage where machines are actually making the decision to to attack but again i still think that the law. fission to hold individual parent we're just we're just not we don't have the institutions necessary jurisdiction to hold in the current. terms missed
2:33 am
a day or so as we've heard there from both gentlemen we are far away from machines actually making decisions on who to attack our targets the law currently is sufficient to deal with that so why would you say your so concerned you know the first fundamental thing that is there. five ten years is not really so higher way especially when we're thinking about what it is governance regulations five years then years is a much a short term. new even if what we want to set their knowledge of the moment is not a were to make decision as to whether to kill or not a human being so i'm concerned because five ten years maybe just just right the amount of time just the right amount of time to make progress relations appropriate policy in place and there are two more points i want to make one is that the father machine can kill but cannot just to kill currently is doesn't make it less true
2:34 am
neurotically primitive we land mines we have the same kind of the debate and yet we bond them and i've done the side whether to kill or not they just kill because they can the way they're designed so we should also consider whether the current deployment of. autonomous weapons systems or weapons systems which are towards control this something that is. coherent to read the fundamental principles that other being internationally right i don't know if the n.t. code or someone room to move from the odyssey in the side whether to keep it or not doesn't respond to the principles of meeting legal anybody addicks to engage in a combat operation without risking. our own position when we are ruled operating these machines and in terms of the accountability and responsibility. yes or no and so far as when we think about artificial systems especially i with
2:35 am
thinking about a new orders which are very much the outcome of integrated elements each of which is fundamental for the system to carry out its task corp so it's got a response of it in that qantas might be possible so to regulation i know be up. a date with a qantas a certainly we need a situations as top be relieved was was mentioning but i want to stress one fundamental point which is that current regulations internationally right that hello they are build up on human rights and just war theory reach out to sets of ethical principles and the fighting and the bodies which are meant to protect human lives throughout shit and ensure proportionality winning a battle within that within a war and this system might be actually. problematically appreciable to the case. rather than which some of the operations are run by machines in rehearsal think
2:36 am
about his numbers in five years' time. we don't do not now ok i'll give both the time to responsive to the points you made to add but first will cost me one of the points that mr de i had made was that there's a fear that increasingly autonomous drones missile defense systems and tanks could term brogan a cyber attack or more function i mean i'm expanding on it's a little bit how much space is there really for this and or is this the stuff of science fiction i mean the idea that we you know are an enemy force is going to hack in a military systems and stuff i mean is it possible yes anything could be hacked if you've got the right smart people and you've got the access eccentric cetera is it going to happen on a weapons grade system that's being deployed by a major government around the world it's highly unlikely that they would deploy a weapon system which might end up being used against their own soldiers or
2:37 am
civilians on the battlefield i think that that is the world of science fiction where i think that we are probably looking at more concerning developments within the drone space and weaponized drones space or wider autonomous weapons systems is that when it falls into the wrong hands when commercially bought drones commercially or domestically built explosives are attached to that drone and then that is used in an atrocity by a terrorist organization now will regulation against that in the u.n. prevent a terrorist organization from from doing it what will know it won't and there are pointed out legal or legal positions in place and legal institutions in place that will will prevent governments nation states from from using weapons in that way and those are very sophisticated and long lasting institutions built up over a long period of time and while we are. said about the five to ten year window of government i think that we're still much further than that away from from
2:38 am
autonomous weapon system and i think that the position that a lot of governments take who are who are trying to prevent this being banned is that is that it's actually too early for us to be trying to carte blanche ban ai and weapons or or ban weapons which we aren't developed yet which are quite far off in which we don't know where they're at what shape and form that they will take should we be preventing terrorism getting their hands on this why from it absolutely is it the government will be rogue or will it be used by rogue elements will it be hijacked i think that that's less of a risk and and i think that conflating the ai banning in weapons or killer robots quote unquote compares to land mines i think that that's actually not not accurate because land mines directly breached two of the three major principles on the laws of war whereas it can indiscriminately target civilians and additionally not only can indiscriminately target civilians but it causes unnecessary and prolonged
2:39 am
suffering of competence if they lose limbs landmines what we're talking about with a lot of the solutions which artificial intelligence or killer robots might employ it's actually much more targeted and actually attention be more accurate than the human operator in this in this position the other thing is that all military forces around the world operate under command and control where the commanders order the units to to execute a mission or execute a kill and i don't think that politicians or military around the world are going to want to lose that command and control to machines who they deign with or with autonomous decision making in the same way that we deploy soldiers to warfare and battlefields yet we don't give them the decision to autonomous the kill unarmed civilians or anything like that and if they seem to want. restaurant. yes indeed the first one to i don't mention any psych rice in our area this is so i thought i
2:40 am
am now is one of the senators fathers for the research or i do. know cyprus and i had to live in the five ten years that iran was the one that was mentioned to me as the beginning of this interview as a possible timeline which i might be deployed on sleep in the butt of so after me the second point is that when it comes to the autonomy of c. weapon systems on the battlefield where r.p. eyestrain systems are in the plight there is a note on it was about system patrolling the border between the border between north and south korea which is a not but or a systems and so on and so forth so it's not that we're talking about something that technology's not yet ready to the broad that we're doing are something that could be the plot in a more sophisticated way in a more pervasive way you know more aggressive way so we should keep this in months . only there are no talking about ai applications in terms of science fiction but i'm also very much concerned when we try to label as science fiction scenarios
2:41 am
which are realistically for counting or foreseeable because this means there will be going to be caught unprepared when they become real to point to landmine was appointed i made in response the idea that at the moment to a machine that can kill but they don't decide to kill a landmine or machines who are ok which can kill but don't the side kill so the analogy stands are on those grounds all are in the father then minds are illegal or should not be the plot but if the if will agrees with that then what's the point that even it on was a machines used as weapons systems should not be deployed and on the same point that states won't relinquish the control over the machine well that makes it even more clear that we shouldn't deploy these kinds of machine is that it for the reasons that we were stressing because states will be. wanted to maintain control because a controller is
2:42 am
a risky and dangerous so order the same points also like to stress one thing. and i becoming irrelevant later but. when we think about it done overton's weapons systems we should be carefully shaping what we want to buy because donning the technology is really now the right to do too many of the systems will be realigned technologies which are developed also for good purposes image recognition is relevant in medical their noses as it will be in will be for example in drones. or many other kind of technologies what we need to relate is the developed deployment and use of these machines we have to understand our societies and yet we and i don't that's not let me try and bring to the cabman and to talk about what kind of a regulatory framework you can have for this how do you decide what it is you're batting or what it is you're trying to constrict and then also that's take a look at the countries involved particularly when it's being done under the baton
2:43 am
of banner of the united nations where you have china russia countries that do not necessarily follow the guidelines set by the united nations so how do you how do you contain this. arms race that is currently happening within the artificial intelligence wrong. well it's very it's very difficult to to regulate an area of law on what technology may be in ten or fifteen years where you what you have to have is an effective legal framework that is enforceable for. what are the capabilities. as well as quite rightly said and it goes back to what the u.k. has also said it relation to this as the u.k. and as other countries that are not seeking to suggest they have that technology or they're seeking to develop technology at the current stage. i mean i think that the concept of having entirely ai controlled weapons systems
2:44 am
is of course fundamentally wrong because to have to think a level of i was talking eleven the cap going to be you're still going to have regardless of how quickly the technology involved you're still going to have a state or entity that is responsible for using system and if the system commit what is considered to be a crime then of course there is going to be a level of accountability so i think what we need to do to be clear on it is that the law can only regulate what is what is possible what is possible that your point as to as to the un system and whether states are going to follow that well you quite rightly say then you got to look at the membership of the un human rights council to start with to show that. international credibility and human rights protection is not really at the forefront of the agenda you also got to take into

account that there is a un special rapporteur that that has dealt with and continues to do with the question of drone attacks and that that that is not an enforcement mechanism so i think that whatever whatever principles whatever regulations the united nations girls are how are they actually going to be enforced and how. if they can't be accountability. states. violate rules that could meet. international crime and as with the said states we're not talking about terrorist groups and those that. jack this technology and use it to be very difficult to regulate but thank you very much to all our speakers on today's panel the panel we have run out of time but this has been a very interesting conversation and obviously one that needs to continue but i'd like to thank all my guests will crossway. and toby cadman and thank you too for

palestinians injured during protests in gaza one of the seventeen year old boys died after being shot by israeli forces the other was hit in the face by a tear gas canister it happened as tens of thousands gathered at the fence that separates gaza from israel to mark a year since the start of weekly protests known as the great march of return and hundreds of people turned out for the funeral of mohamed saad the twenty one year old palestinian died on saturday after being shot while protesting near the barrier fence a day earlier. demanding the right to return to the lands from which their families were violent be expelled during the founding of israel in one nine hundred forty eight they also want an end to israel's roqueted gaza which began twelve years ago harry fossett has more from the gaza israel barrier fence. this day of wide scale protests is now winding up here on the fence that separates israel from gaza in general the level of violence was lower than what we've seen in recent similar
2:51 am
scale protests over the last twelve months the palestinian protesters had been instructed by the organizing committee to refrain from fire from launching in century balloons or kites to stay back from israeli fire not to burn tires and by and large those instructions were observed there were instances of small groups of protesters running to the fence and throwing objects there was some blasts of the fence which would be in accordance with the kinds of i.d.'s are being used to the fence in the past and when that happened we did hear rounds of live ammunition being fired by the israelis however there was not as much live fire as we are used to hearing at these sorts of events so it does seem that both sides had been trying to pull back from the possibility of a major escalation around these protests at the same time as they are trying to through egyptian mediation reach a deal there were reports on friday nights about some of the details emerging from
2:52 am
that deal the amount of money coming from qatar to hamas being raised from fifteen to forty million dollars a month guaranteed for the rest of the year a desalination projects getting approval more electricity flowing in those kind of things from the israeli side they want calm on the border they want an end to rocket fire the gaza leader of hamas yassin was saying that these protests would continue until the end of the blockade but he was also saying that israeli crimes as he put them would be met with different measures from here on so there is talk about the possibility of a deal being implemented hamas is said to want to implement a timetable to guarantee those concessions from israel baps as early. as sunday so we wait to see how this deal will emerge given that today has passed without major confrontation. yet on how ari is

a writer and palestine policy fellow for the palestinian policy network she says people are desperate to see something come out of these rallies. i think in the beginning they were a source of great inspiration to see such mass mobilization. and such bravery and courage from from so many people in gaza it was something really inspiring to see and a lot of palestinians felt proud connected to that certainly at the beginning there was a lot of responses from palestinians in the milan and they were organized campaigns and protests in support of their brothers and sisters but i think now it's really become a manifestation of despair we have one year on hundreds of palestinians have been shot dead in cold blood thousands and thousands have been injured and the situation in gaza has not gotten better it's actually getting worse the siege is continuing now it's a twelve years and gaza has been occupied for over fifty so actually i think now
2:54 am
there is a great deal of desperation and despair or let's find out what people are saying about the protests on line here. well this tweet sums up the sentiment among palestinians on lines around the world of their demands implement un resolution one ninety four to allow palestinian refugees to return home and these are the hash tags being used great much of return as well as land they both in english and arabic now the medical charity doctors without borders says the march of return protesters have been abandoned after a year of protesting it says palestinians have been left with life long injuries caused by the israelis and called on authorities on both sides to improve the situation in gaza but just to give you an idea of numbers you actually find this on the web site as well as on twitter but take a look at this because in the past year two hundred and sixty six palestinians have been killed during those protests with more than thirty thousand people injured
2:55 am
while the palestinians are sharing these statistics on social media israelis two are tweeting their own figures with their version of the gaza protest in fact they're calling it violent hamas riots it doesn't mention deaths or injuries but they could care because the numbers are showing those of rockets fire bombs an i.e.d. as they say have been launched from gaza and this image is also circulating amongst israelis commenting on the use of household items they say they're being used as weapons the guns of protests and they're also using the hash tag not a peaceful protest and take a look at this tweets being shared by palestinians there commemorating landay and these are the six people that were killed forty three years ago at a demonstration against israeli seizure of thousands of acres of palestinian owned land and it was a moment that changed the palestinian movement. the rights of palestinian refugees to return to that ancestral land after being expelled by the israelis in one
2:56 am
thousand nine hundred forty eight is the main reason for the protests in gaza a year later when israel joined the united nations there was a demand for it to agree to resolution one thousand four to allow palestinians to return but after the nine hundred sixty seven war israel continued to deny palestinians this rights instead it confiscated more palestinian land and forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands more to this day israel rejects the right of return it insists resolution one ninety four is not legally binding but palestinians say they'll continue to protest against this and more calander a as a symbol of the palestinian struggle so before the creation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred forty eight jews accounted for roughly three percent of the population and this map shows how palestine changed as far back as nine hundred seventeen barrier and why it was controlled by arabs and jews controlled the gray areas but fast forward to nineteen sixty seven six day war and you'll see
