the 1st stage of donald trump's long awaited blueprint for peace in the middle east will be unveiled in june and by trump and white house and why the jad kushner the plan is supposed to boost investment in the west bank and gaza strip it will be revealed during a conference in the high a name to highlight in the financial benefits of ending the israeli palestinian conflict palestine's prime minister has already called the plan financial blackmail and says it will likely favor israel or the white house as the peace plan long to address issues such as a palestinian state and the status of jerusalem and adviser to the palestinian president says that means it's likely that very little will be achieved. had been suffered. deal proposed by the u.s. president at a time when the us dominant role is gradually window in world war even in latin america and therefore we are insisting if we want to go to the peace process there has to be

a solution although we proposed to the jews in the past our willingness to have a one state democratic nonsectarian so we wanted to states one palestinian is state on the 1967 borders with full control and sovereignty on its territory and with east to wrestle him as its capital. well let's get more on this knowledge on by mohamed the way the palestinian american political analyst and his life arise in washington d.c. must always always good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what do you think of the strategy of inviting economic investment in palestine as a way to address what is one of the world's longest running political issues. you know if we look at the history of the conflict started with the occupation the 1st occupation in 1048 2nd occupation in 1967 now all of a sign is and that israeli occupation what we hear from mr trump and his son in law . and his that are presented lives in tel aviv i'm not going to see jerusalem

because i don't recognize them as if they they belong there talking about the american ambassador and their representative forth to the will of the so-called peace process going blood they are trying to redefine the conflict the conflict is not about money there was a lot of money thrown at the palestinians between 19032000 when bill clinton was president and all that parents have failed to bring about peace between the palestinians and israelis palestinians are interested in liberation israelis are interested in colonize ation. an occupation so there is no way for the 2 people to agree on an affair if they're there any terrorists are not the same which is peace in the middle east and must always you know as you yourself say all other plans and all other efforts have failed do you think that

addressing this through a financial or an economic prism has any value or as you mentioned no the cause that's not the issue. very good and clear question let me tell you as a palestinian my part and palestine is not for sale there are 7000000 palestinian refugees they are part and palestine is not for sale trying to solve israel's problem by pumping money into the economy there that will benefit only the israelis because building roads building buildings and building factories is going to benefit the israelis not the palestinians. in 1903 there was an agreement and there was a party between the israelis and the palestinians economic agreement to this day israel is still with holding the tax money that it collects on behalf of the palestinians . to try to use against the palestinians so money did not solve the problem and

money is not going to solve the problem let's look at the history of mr trump 1st of all he is running the white house through twitter he cannot guarantee for the syrian issue and the peace process on twitter he failed in his businesses he is not going to succeed in the business or follow a sign furthermore he had failed the american people who voted for him so far he did not sign any agreement yes he canceled agreements with iran with china with the european union with canada and mexico they now to iran to this day he does not come up with a new agreement i don't know how it's how the palestinians have come up the palestinians have made it very clear that this president and this administration aren't going to be the ones who are going to solve this issue does that then leave you know leave room for others to step up the european union perhaps is there a gap that needs to be filled here. let me say this what they said to

the liberation for they they said they are going to talk about economy and the governance and all that stuff nonsense to me it is nonsense when you're talking about the peace process and they said we're going to talk about political issues after one year remember that one year we will be 5 months only away from american elections and his company and the people around him and all of america is not going to have time for that i said if you lived in that if you see council for i live i lived in washington d.c. we lived all of our lives or since 1988 we live between american elections and israeli elections hoping something's going to come up so i think they are just pushing the kicking the ball down the road only to avoid being embarrass the chief and i think this president has failed and he is going to fail in this because he is not going about it that i twitter which is that if

a city and state or in a one state solution where everybody live lives in democracy the israelis want it as a jewish state mr jewish man i'm not jewish i'm a city a muslim a lot of palestinians also are christians what are you going to do about us so there is no solution as long as this mindset is sure there that one side only wants to control everything mr ways we thank you very much for your perspective that is mohamad the way of life and washington d.c. thank you. to yemen now where what the rebels say they plan to target $300.00 military sites in yemen saudi arabia and the united arab emirates the statement follows a draw an attack on a saudi oil pumping facility the explosion had a pipeline rupturing it and causing an oil leak that covered 1000 square meters.

india's general election is finally over after nearly 6 weeks and preparations have begun for thursday's vote count the election was dominated by the ruling parties nashton this to gender and the opposition's call to fix growing unemployment or sunday was the final day of poland when 100000000 people across 8 states were eligible to carson their ballots prime minister that interim or he is seeking a 2nd term in office so iran is more use constituency of what an r.c. . states and union territories across india have now all completed the election voting the 17th general election is well and truly over all that's required now is the vote count which we'll have to look forward to on thursday politicians will now perhaps have a nail biting time trying to wonder whether they were actually able to sell their idea of a future india to the electorate what was the electorate needs and wants we've been finding out environ r.c. . they've been queuing up since daybreak it's the 7th and final phase of india's

general election on sunday people from 59 constituencies across 7 states in one union territory had to the polls more than 900000000 people were eligible to cast their ballots in the world's largest democracy over the past 7 weeks voters waiting here are excited that their day has finally come should be given regularly and more infrastructure his physical situation is that it should be given to the really does that make this team work i felt really nice voting for the 1st time i want prime minister made to come back to power and move the country forward and develop it so that the unemployed can get employment. environ arcee is one of 13 seats in the state of pradesh that's being fought over on sunday it's the parliamentary seat of the incumbent prime minister narendra modi there are many issues the electorate has had to consider communal politics unemployment the economy education and national

security. for some small scale manufacturers the issue is clear this factory produces fans and it's been severely affected by the monetize ation and the introduction of the new goods and services tax g.s.t. which is added to the manufacturing cost and impacted on the workforce there that gupta wants the new government to revisit the amount of tax small cottage industries like kids have to pay. for about 50 to 60000 people depend on court. industries like us here my sales are down and property margins too by about 60 to 70 percent when it comes to work force i used to have about 30 employees now i can only afford. analysts suggest there is a disconnect between what the public needs and what politicians say they can deliver i think one of the reasons is that the political class in india has been quite an immigrant from the masses they do not have things to offer our.

economy i think we are going deep into a crisis and the promises that they are making the parties i mean there is very difficult to fulfill their promises so they don't want to talk about the concrete going to very well these voters wait patiently in line for their turn to vote the country will have to wait until thursday before the national vote count begins. so all that's left to do is the vote count that will happen on thursday and then they'll be a better indication of what india's new parliament will look like and who might lead a new indian government for the moment the exit polls are suggesting that the b j p might just sneak in with another victory along with our allies but indian pollsters have been notoriously wrong historically they were in 2014 so we wait and see how the indian public voted and what the reaction will be from politicians north south east and west. sri lanka has been marking 10 years since the civil war ended a memorial service has been held for government forces killed during the 26 year

palestine conflict. days after the u.s. state of alabama passed a near total ban on abortion president donald trump has weighed in on that issue trump said in a series of tweets that he's pro-life but not in the case of rape incest or when the mother's life is in danger or pro-abortion rights protesters have been holding rallies in alabama have condemned the law and how that can be overturned by the courts let's take a closer look at recent moves to tighten abortion laws mostly in conservative southern u.s. states as we just mentioned alabama last week introduced an almost complete ban on abortion including in cases of rape or incest the only exception is when the mother's life is at serious risk earlier this year so-called heartbeat bills were passed in georgia kentucky mississippi and ohio that means these states have banned terminations from the moment a heartbeat can be detected but elsewhere in the u.s.

steps have been taken in the opposite direction in january new york move to give women the right to terminate their pregnancy after 24 weeks under certain conditions stacey fox is the president of planned parenthood southeast and she's at one of the protests in alabama and she says the fight against the abortion ban isn't over. i think this is nothing more than a political game that our president is leading the way on we know that 70 percent of americans do not support overturning roe v wade and that holds true right here in alabama no matter if you cut it on party lines republicans democrats evangelicals people do not support these bands and the politicians here just aren't listening which means they will get a pink slip next fall when we all had to the voting well let's be clear 1st planned parenthood and the a.c.l.u. will be taking the state of alabama to court and hope that like every other fight we've had that we will prevail in this law will never take effect but banning abortion doesn't stop abortion it stops safe abortion and who this impacts is poor

women and women of color across this country and what these politicians should be focused on are the real health crisis like the one here in alabama where black women are dying of cervical cancer at 6 times the rate of any other state in this country. to venezuela now we're on top of severe shortages of food medicine and electricity people are now struggling to find petrol hosh us economic sanctions coupled with a lack of maintenance in the oil industry is pushing the energy sector to crisis point you see in yemen reports from the state of qatar bobo. accused of philip cars with fuel at northwestern venezuela are 23 to 4 kilometers long. near the city of motorists hope and pray they'll be lucky to make it to the pump before it runs dry yet i'm going to you yesterday i was in line for 6 hours and couldn't fill up. isn't normal ask go at that again about it then at that moment with this

government apparently it is we are a major oil producing country and look no gasoline on top of shortages of water and electricity i mean. the further you go from caracas the harder it is to find petrol but in the past 2 weeks the hunt for fuel has become much worse looking at the moment look we stuck to the greats. called in focus. these are the messages from today to let each other find. there's several causes for the crisis see industry experts. venezuela's refinery capacity is down to 20 percent of its normal level instead of $1300000.00 barrels a day we're only 260000 which means we have to import gasoline. putting it from the united states but as of april 28th the u.s. government stopped all sales not just of fuel but of the additives needed to make

the petrol that than his whale is still able to refine at home and then there's the chronic problem of price distortions all the patrol in this tanker truck or 13000 liters costs less than $1.00 which means it's practically free but only if you can find it these shortages and these long lines are creating a black market with some people charging as much as $10.00 for 20 leaders now anywhere else that may be considered peanuts but here it is the only thing cheaper than petrol is the air that you breathe that is considered a fortune and much more than the minimum wage. the shortages have not yet impacted the capital caracas but experts say it may not be long before they do and irony that escapes no one in venezuela the country with the world's largest oil reserves . in israel. the united nations says it is running out of

funds to help syrian refugees and lebanon nonprofits are trying to fill the gap but as a donor fatigue refugee population vulnerable by the day they now hold the reports from the bekaa valley. 70 percent of lebanon syrian refugee population lives in poverty. that is one of them he also lives with chronic diseases the cost of care is high non-governmental organizations run clinics like this one for those who can't afford treatment or medicine but not everything he needs is available. i have cancer and diabetes i also have heart problems i need my medicine but they are no longer providing it the help has dramatically decreased and we do not know why. the lack of money is why at the same time the needs are growing up to $4000.00 patients come to this clinic every

month. and. we are unable to secure medicine consistently for these people because we don't have the financial support we don't have the exact number but around 20 to 30 percent of those being treated at this center don't get the medicine they need. the u.n. does provide support to a network of 40 hospitals across the country but it received 38 percent of the budget request it this year the u.n. refugee agency also complains about donor fatigue there are 1000000 syrian refugees registered with the u.n. in lebanon and at least 180000 of them suffer from a chronic disease. budget cuts mean some don't get continuous treatment the u.n. says at least 25 percent of nearly 200 refugees with kidney disease have been affected by this. number of conditions that is not covered with and like with the program you speak of

a chronic condition like. conditions. of extremely high cost of like. complicated is the still having trouble induced to receive the necessary. another challenge is reaching health centers refugees are too poor to pay for transport that is why doctors regularly visit camps they treat common illnesses but they also try to prevent disease outbreaks and complications which have resulted in deaths. you have many many other diseases that cannot be covered and no one is covering. which raises the. 9 years into the largest refugee crisis and help is being reduced aid agencies are forced to prioritize which means the needs in the health sector are not always covered so what there are. thousands of pro-democracy protesters are

back on the streets and algeria's capital protesters in algiers want everyone from ousted president because in a circle to step down they also want elections in july to the square saying they want to be fair if the elite remains in power. with a flick of resigned in april after months of anti-government protests. aligned to day transitional period before new elections are held. to now where there are concerns about an increase in the number of attacks against christians there's still no word on who was behind last sunday's church attack in the country's north the government believes i said in the greatest may be responsible let us hark has an exclusive report from the remote region of double where the group is expanding its reach we travel deep into northern bric enough. on the front line of an expanding war against the group islamic state in the greater sahara.

this is. a christian town in a muslim region now living in fear. my girl was running late for last sunday's mass when 20 masked gunmen stepped in front of him they shot the priest in the head then they randomly selected 5 worshippers killing them one by one while perishers watched. among those killed was by my goes father a devout christian now buried in the church grounds. when they were in military fatigue we thought they were the police but then they told women and children to leave and the carnage started and. while no one has claimed responsibility for the attack the government believes it has the hallmarks of the stomach state in the greater sahara. in april self-styled the ice a leader of. the welcome new affiliates from bric enough aso in mali.
