a moment we'll be hearing from a diplomatic editor at the united nations but 1st this report from alexia brian. they're being called barricades of anger at the latest effort by protestors to pressure the ruling military council to hand over power to civilians. these prayers not only mocking the muslim aid holiday but also remembering those who cannot join them the victims of what protesters say was a brutal massacre witnesses described finding bodies burnt in tents after an attack by security forces on the camp in khartoum they're processed as saw as a shrine to their revolution they say some of the dead were taken by armed forces and others dumped in the river this video which can't be verified shows crowds gathering as bodies are pulled from the water. the military's being accused of trying to stop the violence being documented and shared by confiscating mobile

phones. next week will begin our civil disobedience the military council has cut off the internet they cut off the telecommunication networks to cover the crimes we promise we'll unveil the military's crimes committed on the streets from killing to rape to humiliation to fear we will continue this revolution the crackdown appears to be continuing activists report raids by a paramilitary group on hospitals looking for injured protesters and the medical workers treating them. and one of the rapid support forces came in and attacked me and he hit me here and over here as well may god punish them the doctors union says the savage beating suffered by patients and their colleagues a part of a wider campaign of violence yesterday we have not do doctors or be raped. said the women have been raped in one of the nearby. neighborhoods to the headquarters of the military council this it which and cannot carry on. the

military john has apologized for the violence and says it will investigate its called for elections within 9 months something the opposition has rejected none of this to say we consider it a statement of a coup and a counterattack on the people's revolution we were a few to do all from its beginning to the end we refused to call for an early election and we consider the statement of the military council conforms with the counter-revolution and its links to the interests of the old regime just weeks ago protesters gathered full of hope that talks with the military council were on the verge of a breakthrough. now their current has turned to anger and protesters say they won't back down alexei or brian al jazeera. well as he mentions the u.n. security council failed to reach a joint position on sudan and a closed door meeting more on that from our diplomatic editor james benz. the

security council was briefed behind closed doors on the latest developments in khartoum by the secretary general special adviser almost situation in sudan nicholas hastened i'm very concerned about the situation in khartoum and i think that represents a position of the international community i don't want to engage to mention a discussion as to who should do what because we're still hoping to play a role in bringing the parties together we haven't given up hope that a solution is still possible you can just. as soon as i can mr hasten told reporters he'd like to see a common international position on the situation in the sudan but the security council couldn't come up with that they couldn't come up with a statement on the killing of protesters by the military i'm told that china adamantly refused the draft statement saying it was an internal matter they were

backed in that by russia and kuwait said the draft needed amendments so instead the ambassadors from the european countries gave their own statement we call for an immediate secession of violence accountability for crimes committed and underlined the responsibility of the transitional military council in ensuring the safety of the sudanese do unilateral announcement to see snickers he sends a point that government and calling for elections to short p.d. out of time is of great concern those are the words i think european ambassadors would have liked to have seen in a common security council statement but now sudan has become the latest country where the security council is divided. now the syrian government's russia has blocked the u.n. security council from issuing a statement on attacks and it did province the member states were expected to sound

over the possibility of a humanitarian disaster because of attacks by the army on rebel controlled areas government forces launched an offensive to recapture it had been april the province's the last area preventing president bashar assad from claiming final victory after 8 years of war and thousands of internally displaced people at a camp in northern syria have been threatened with eviction so then called reports from inside the province. this is one of the many camps that the syrian internally displaced people could find refuge after the syrian regime intensified its bombardments in the smallest problems mainly southern cities and towns and there are nearly 1500 civilians residing in this camp and that most of them to this camp in the month of ramadan when rush hour assad and his allies began airstrikes and the civilians here are taking refuge under these all of trees and they they have

covered the coward around the trees with the blankets they have and some other materials that they can have they are telling us that when their city was bombarded it was only their clothes and a few blankets that they could hardly take with them and they ran away from their homes to the turkish border here to find refuge the situation is very dire in the camps their supplies are cut the hygiene is the huge problem here as you can see here they have water problem as well this water for instance is being used for washing purposes and they are they are short in drinking water as well they're telling us that the telling us that they were delivered 8 during only during the month of ramadan one meal a day and which is not enough for $300.00 families living in this camp. the problems are that little look at conditions we will change we want supplies

research we get all of growers we are waiting for help from the international community. saying it's very bad there's garbage or outburst there in sex a lot of disease children to seek some women gave birth here are better at the front lines that we don't have to monitor this lives because previous properly here the majority of those 1500 people residing in this camp are mainly women and children and children are suffering because of hot weather they're suffering from. diarrheal and their mothers tell us that they have no access to the hospitals and some people die because the ambulances aren't fast enough to pick them up but the worst thing is that here the owner of this land is telling those $300.00 families in this camp to move out as soon as the islamic fees and they tell us that they have no idea where to go but we are hearing that the local government here the local administration is doing is some preparations for them and some n.g.o.s are

trying to. trying to. they are tense and they are supplies for those people in case an attack happens. but in short these people are left vulnerable here in it. now tens of thousands of people around the world have commemorated the 30th anniversary of china's brutal crackdown on student protesters and chatham and square but not in china where any mention of the massacre is banned hong kong is the only place under chinese rule that holds public commemorations and organizers say nearly 200000 people attended a night vigil there to be a part of was at the event. the songs and chants are repeated every year in hong kong the stories told again and again to remember the time when people in china rose up calling for more democracy only to be brutally put down by the chinese government and those people. forget about when some historical

events it's important for us to tell the next generation to know more about the event otherwise it will be forgotten 30 years ago democracy activists leeteuk was given the job of delivering money donated by supporters in hong kong to the protesters in tiananmen square i was in the square i remember people told me that the army is coming in go away go away tell the world the truth. we have to go and brought the army and yes they did and what happened is that the tanks rolling in you know the army shooting is people indiscriminately we don't know how many people die it's an account that's will not be retold in mainland china and few will be aware of the latest annual vigil in hong kong. censors in china have stepped up their policing of social media and police detained activists a spur caution but in hong kong it's

a very different atmosphere in recent years there was a sense that this vigil had lost momentum many people felt that it had become a tradition lighting the candles to mark a point in history but this year many here say there is a new sense of urgency with china tightening its grip on the city like never before people say they want to speak out before it's too late and the latest threat to freedoms in hong kong a proposed extradition law if passed it will allow people here to be tried by judges in mainland china extradition to the right or has the trust or for that matter confidence and the chinese generational right china when this. sad trial this. treatment of suspects this is the only chinese territory where such a massive demonstration against the communist leadership in beijing takes place but amid the singing chanting and calls for democracy a major question on many people's minds how much longer will the people of hong

kong be allowed to express their dissent so openly the hollande al-jazeera hong kong. plenty more ahead on this news hour and clearing. i believe it would be good for the country. u.s. president donald trump says britain has bright days ahead after leaving the e.u. . 2 years and no end in sight why an economic blockade remains qatar. and its rivalries renewed at the french open as madonna prepared to go head to head as the schools. now the trumpet ministration is imposing major new travel restrictions on visits to cuba by u.s. citizens the treasury department says it will no longer allow group educational or cultural travel to the island one of the most popular forms of tourism from the u.s. it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats it's part

of efforts by the united states to pressure her ghana over what it calls his destabilizing role in the region including its support for president nicolas maduro in venezuela under former u.s. president barack obama the white house eased sanctions travel and financial restrictions and established formal diplomatic relations white house correspondent kimberly health that has more. these are major travel restrictions put in place by the trumpet ministration effectively blocking what was considered to be the most popular form of travel to cuba and that is travel that took place through a loophole in existing travel restrictions allowing for those to transit to cuba through organized tour groups as well as on cruise ships not only has this been blocked but the state department with its announcement has also ended travel by private citizens u.s. citizens who were perhaps going to cuba on a yacht or even a private aircraft now the reason for this punitive action we're told is that the

united states continues to believe as it has said many times before that cuba is responsible for what it sees as destabilizing activity within the western hemisphere that is propping up governments that the united states does not support particularly in but a swell as well as a need now this is a major departure from the actions of the obama white house that of course had eased travel restrictions to cuba not only are tighter restrictions in place but now as well the only form of travel that really seems to still be allowed under the trump administration is that of commercial airline flight to support what the united states is calling lawful forms of family travel well earlier i spoke to john suarez here is the executive director of the center for a free cuba he says the move is related to cuba's role in the venezuelan crisis. we

need to take into consideration that the tourist economy in cuba is run by a conglomerate called the armed forces business enterprises group which in spanish acronym is guys it's run by castro's son in law so there's a direct relationship between tourism tourism dollars and the military and it's not the trumpet ministration but the oas general secretary luis armado who has described the cubans as an occupying force in venezuela and many venezuelans are very concerned by the presence of security and cuban cuban military and human security in their country that has been undermining democracy and doing everything they can to stop president why do in supporting the server nicolas maduro and that's why these sanctions have been put in place to put pressure on the cuban government to stop engaging in those actions in venezuela and also in the karada now i'm aimin drala joins us live from washington d.c.

she's the executive director of the center for democracy in the americas and he let me start by asking you to respond to john's contention that tourists visiting jiabao are just pressing money in the pockets of the state. cuban americans traveling to cuba are the lifeblood in some respect for the burgeoning private sector on the island by some accounts 30 percent of working age cubans now participate in the private sector in hospitality facing businesses like restaurants private transportation and private lodging clothing stores that travelers frequent and there's a whole chain of support businesses that support them as well financial advisors consultants event planners and all of them are are bolstered by travel to the island and particularly american travel to the island in these sanctions will hurt those cuban entrepreneurs the most well given that can you give

us a read on the impact that these restrictions might have on the cuban economy more generally sure the cuban government released some figures earlier this year on private lodging in particular and that from 27228000 private lodging went from near capacity to 40 percent so that's a 60 percent reduction and these are private bed and breakfast is that that americans can book via companies like air b.n. b. before they travel down to the island and a 60 percent reduction in those bookings hurts and it hurts not just the owner of the bed and breakfast but off also the the support businesses that support them and the families that are benefiting from the employees in the private sector and many given the timing of this decision and the upcoming us election do you think this could be as much about voters in florida as people in cuba and stability in the

region. i do i think florida is obviously the largest swing state in the united states and the cuban american community there looms large in a political way but it's important for the administration to realize that the cuban american electorate in florida is not monolithic and are not always voting just on cuba policy issues that there is there is a reason to to listen to the younger cuban americans of the 2nd generation who believe that engagement is the right course of action to allow cubans to be determinants of their own future and also to support american businesses american farmers there and there are innumerable way it reasons why engagement is is the best thing for the american people and the cuban people like well the white house has called cuba a destabilizing force in the region do you think these restrictions are likely to

change his behavior in any way. cuba has a track record of engaging in a productive way in seemingly intractable problems they recently hosted the colombian government and the fark in peace negotiations and have anna and the u.s. government support of those negotiations they attended as as formal observers in the process and so i think it's it's entirely likely that cuba is already trying to play a productive role behind the scenes in resolving the crises in venezuela but for the u.s. government to think and for the trump administration to think of it sanctions will coerce the cuban government into a different role is wrongheaded let me ask you more about that i mean what's your take on how successful u.s. sanctions have been on cuba today's. i we've been operating under a sanctions regime for the last 60 years with

a goal of of pushing cuba toward more democratic governing practices and it's the sanctions have clearly not brought about their intended purposes. and so i i think the track record is clear and for the administration to double down on those failed policies now and expect a different result is is wrong and speaking to us there from washington d.c. the executive director of the center for democracy in the americas thanks you inside 70. thank you. well the u.s. president has promised a phenomenal trade deal for a post rex it bresso donald trump held talks with outgoing prime minister in the british capital during the 2nd day of his state visit but he seemed to ignore friction over the dealings with chinese telecoms while away leaving that replacement in a hollow has. what in other circumstances would be a significant meeting was on this occasion far more low key the u.s.

president alongside a british prime minister on the verge of stepping down for the past 2 and a half the president and i have had the privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries there was no avoiding breaks it and opposed brigs it trade deal between the 2 countries donald trump is a big fan of both i would say yeah i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen this is a great great country and it wants its own identity it wants to have its own borders it wants to run its own affairs is a very very special place and i think it deserves a special place on the topline point of contention between the 2 sides the role of huawei the chinese telecoms giant in building the u.k.'s 5 g. network president trump seem to brush the issue aside there will be an agreement he said not to worry he seemed to imply leave it to mrs may's successor on which point

the president has made his views very public indorsing top contenders boris johnson the former foreign secretary and the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt. environment minister michael gove also a front runner he said he didn't know very well there was talk of a one on one meeting it was as if the former reality t.v. star was back or candidates this time for the job of british prime minister at the business end of this state visit donald trump was most at home around the table to . deals are going to come. over there besides the glamour of a state visit the lavish attention of royalty great britain once a valued and strategic partner is to this president it seems a deal waiting to be done. london and there was major concern in the u.k.

over tom's comments about the nation's public health service being up for negotiation and any future trade deal just he appeared to have stepped back from those comments i don't see it being on the table somebody asked me a question today and i say everything's up for negotiation because everything is but i don't see that being that something that i would not consider part of trade that's not trade. well several 1000 antidrug demonstrators monster central london in protest against the u.s. president's visit but turnout was below expectations prompting trying to dismiss it as a small protest. i found out. it was billed as a carnival of resistance and the demonstrations certainly included elements of performance as well as protest the costumes and fancy dress one group dressed as characters from the hung made tale some blackguards were simple others subtle many simply too profane to show on television or even trump impersonators we have reached

a deal to. the 6 meter tall trump baby blimp was back after 1st appearing in 2018 of the republican effigy titles dumped trump made its debut this year i do respect i'm not prissy but i'm ashamed of this country for inviting him and treating him with pomp and dignity i thought that the british government was about that kind of thing to be able to welcome somebody who's kind of been knew though fascist a short distance from where the president was meeting the prime minister the stage had been set up to host several high profile speakers look around. look at each other. we are young we are old when where why we disabled an elegy beach where the whole wonderful most of diversity and inclusion that we represent on this demonstrations of i. don't know what they were isolated

confrontations between protesters and some vocal pro trump individuals but they were quickly contained. protest organizers had anticipated the degree of outrage for teagan certainly the numbers on this protest are a fraction of the 250000 the turned out when president last came to london in 2018 on the last visit to the us president has succeeded in uniting a kaleidoscope of different courses from pro-feminist the fascists. when he was asked by journalists about the protests outside president trump claimed to have seen only cheering supporters as the demonstration he said was a small protest and the media attention obvious fake news i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came very small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say but you saw the the people waving the american flag waving your flag it was tremendous spirit and love for the most part the public is being kept well back from the president on his own but if president

trump was really oblivious to the chorus of booing his motorcade left downing street it can only have been because of the remarkable sound proofing of his official limousine brennan al-jazeera central london now hussein as a former special adviser to the u.k. government he says trump's talks with the british prime minister all still important despite the imminent resignation. timing is certainly a bit awkward however i think it actually makes the point that this is about the relationship between the 2 countries and the relationship we have trade wise security wise well live whoever is in the white house or whoever is in downing street i think is the key thing he has got his views he's made his views clear on boris johnson on no deal breaks it but he will not have a costing vote and i'm not really sure of the impact it will have i think the people you can make of it what you will the people who are supportive of for

example boris this is the great thing because he is the president obama's power the people who are unsure will will look at it the other way and particularly now when we are faced with the brics it what happens next the need to have our friends with us and the need to talk about trade in the future is important so i agree maybe the conversation with the prime minister was a bit kind of process the. more so forward looking but he has also met and spoken to people who could potentially be the next prime minister as well so i think is going on that now still ahead on out as they are as the west bank and gaza are prepared to mark 52 years of occupation we look at the issue of land the heart of the conflict and new controversy over a u.s. navy seal who is facing court martial for war crimes. and in a sport with clear sri lanka's survival against afghanistan at the cricket world

cup. the wedding sponsored by qatar airways. hello it's been raining along the traditional front of the clouds logical front for the last few days couple of weeks from vietnam right up through southern china towards japan it's still doing that but inland it's now warm and humid to produce some pretty big thunderstorm developing little system could well be significantly wet running from sichuan along the valley towards shanghai in the following 24 hours so the picture on thursday is rather dry one for hong kong rather wetter one for shanghai there are showers the south has been quite big ones in central and southern philippines around bourne yes are kind of montana west was a mass of white which could be drifting big showers running towards potential malaysia and singapore for example lot of cloud around which is no surprise this

time the air but showers stretch far south still or again i should say probably as java now we should be seeing the monsoon rains coming in now they're a little late about a week later than i would say nothing much is happening is for like rotational big showers in india particularly up into poorer you know the worst place in the world so 3 and have been raised in the last 4 days obviously ahead of it it's been quite hot down below 51 that should do 50 degrees but this is still significantly hot as you can see from the forecast there are no substantial monsoon rains as yet. the weather sponsored by cattle and ways. and natural resource that's gone on top for more than 2 decades i was serious. of course years before israel has rockets on al-jazeera world tells the untold story of gaza's un exploited gas fields gaza lobby and is it only made us of the police doing it so it's a lot of money and how this valuable resource could have transformed palestinian

law it's. because the gas deal on al-jazeera. examining the headlines a collapsed economy beams the many people are struggling to survive setting the discussions people have to wait i don't think you can look away any more sharing personal stories with a global audience explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform the news motivate and inspire. the world is watching on al-jazeera.

hello again i'm a star or a mind of the news this hour a tear opin countries have condemned the violent crackdown on protesters in sudan which left at least 60 people dead and hundreds injured the opposition criticize the military has laid his plan for an election and 9 months they say it won't be free or fair. u.s. president promised the u.k. a phenomenal trade deal once it leaves the european union and he also called for a united front against iran on the 2nd day of his state visit. and nearly $200000.00 people have attended a vigil in hong kong marking the 30th anniversary of china's brutal crackdown on student protesters in chatham and square commemorations were held around the world but not in china where mention of the massacre is banned. well it's been 2 years since saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain initiated a blockade on claiming that doha was a supporter of terrorism it's

a claim that qatar has strongly refuses the crisis has affected many areas and created further instability in the region the reports. a handshake between saudi king salmon bin abdulaziz and the qatari prime minister but if anyone saw this is a sign of warming relations between the 2 countries they'd be wrong that was a week ago and despite the most high profile meeting between the qataris and saudis in 2 year is the g.c.c. is still in crisis and very much divided. we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran. the statement also mentioned the united goal whereas the night of the gulf war we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state ever since saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind and egypt imposed a land air and sea blockade on cattle in june 2017 the gulf cooperation council has

been at olds. the g.c.c. has held 2 summits in saudi arabia and one in kuwait which has led mediation efforts at the 1st summit since the blockade began a catalyst a man to mean been hammered out that he attended but his adversary said the foreign minister is their absence was seen as a snub to kuwait city tend to heal the rift throughout the dispute catto has strongly denied claims made by the saudis and generalities the doha supports terrorism or is too close to iran. be groups have been engaged in cattle's foreign ministry has arranged meetings with representatives from dozens of countries with the i'm a and foreign minister touring the world riyadh and abu dhabi will say being busy with media campaigns against cattle including one targeting the 2022 world cup yet both have been dealing with crises of their own the killing of saudi

jenna's jamal khashoggi in istanbul and accusations that it was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salmond have damaged the kingdom's image. so has the war in yemen and the humanitarian disaster it's caused. both the amorality s. and saudis have been accused of committing human rights violations there and cattle says that's the real reason it's being targeted by its neighbors but the blockade appears to have had little effect in the past 2 years trade between cattle and iran has increased and qatari media outlet al jazeera and others are operating freely despite demands by the saudis and them or ati's for their closure qatar is a country that is immensely grown and has a lot of positive developments since the crisis because they have a lot more freedom to maneuver freedom to choose their suppliers choose their partners in the region without being hamstrung or tied down to saudi dictate as the g.c.c.

crisis and does its 3rd year division and distrust between the council's members appear to be becoming the norm and if people in the gulf begin to accept that reality that could make changing it more difficult in the long run victoria gayton be al jazeera now sigurd noise is an analyst on the gulf cooperation council and he joins us now live from washington d.c. so good let's start with these latest summits in mecca are there step forward in your mind. i would characterize it as slightly differently i would say that it's a step forward and 2 step step backwards because it was certainly positive that they could tories so decided to dispatch their prime minister instead of the deputy minister of state who had previously represented cup dart at the g.c.c. summit in riyadh and as you reported earlier during the g.c.c. so much in kuwait where amir tommy mottola qatar participated the saudis and the

marauders and bought for a nice turn sent their own deputy minister of state so the fact that qatar. was able to send a prime minister was a good sign in itself and was this a surprise invitation for cats not given the blockades. the invitation came after extensive u.s. diplomatic pressure the united states had initially wanted all the g.c.c. leaders including emir to members of a cult there to participate but for the qatari stay would only participate once the blockade has been lifted and sense that was not in the cards this time they decided to honor the american request by sending a senior official but still one level below the head of state let me ask you more about that 2nd just how much influence does the u.s. have and potentially media using any kind of a move towards the end of the blockade presumably given how close the white house

is to riyadh and that their largest military based in the middle east is in cata it's in their interest for both sides to get a little better. absolutely the united states consistently called for g.c.c. reconciliation and the world at that diplomatic game is played us that it is officially spearheaded by kuwait who has a long tradition of mediating within intra g.c.c. disputes but it american backing in. the back what is important to understand us that. qatar face an existential military threat 2 days into the book 8 in 2017 and on the one year anniversary of the blockade last year king saul mom of saudi arabia sent a letter to president macor of france where he threatened military moves against qatar and event that it should acquire the so-called s.

400 system from russia so the military thought has always been on the table. as an option from the blockading states and the americans have put their foot down and instead encourage g.c.c. reconciliation but because the region is so fragile what the americans have wanted to do is to ensure that kuwait takes the lead so that if face saving measure can be achieved for all parties you say the region is 5 gallon and indeed it is especially given us tensions with iran how seriously do you think the blockade is affecting the u.s. as agenda in the region. i think what is really important to understand about the blockade is that it is impacting the qatari people and preventing them from visiting their relatives and business partners who are into g.c.c. . economy and commerce is concerned qatar has been able to find new

suppliers and have increased trade with. both turkey oman and iran so it seems to be doing quite well on the economic front but on the social front it is still a big burden and star in terms of the us agenda and the region sigurd. in terms of the american agenda in the region it's very clear and that is that only a united g.c.c. can really contain iran and the united states deployed as we know several b. $52.00 nuclear bomb or is to qatar solid data air base and united states has also dispatched an aircraft carrier to the gulf but we know that the aircraft carrier is being held up so that diplomacy with iran can. be given a chance but by and large the military buildup in the gulf for collective security and it is impossible to have collective security once washington's partners in the region are squabbling amongst themselves. so you could know about that an analyst

on the gulf cooperation council thanks your insights on al-jazeera well after 52 years of israel's occupation of the west bank and the gaza strip the land remains at the heart of the conflict between palestinians and israelis palestinians say they're being denied permission to build homes by israeli authorities and with a lack of land for development their way of life is under threat it even had reports from the occupied west bank. low rise buildings were once common in villages in the occupied west bank but not anymore even in older areas that are now how the buildings that many say are destroying the traditional nature of these villages life in palestinian villages once revolved around farming in single story stone houses in the village of cut on the north east of jerusalem this is how much things have changed over the last decade. an hour's drive from village it's mayor says efforts to maintain its heritage are often hampered due to lack of land in

most part of the villages really permission is needed to carry out any construction . of a secure the population is always increasing but the permitted building areas shrinking the mangos up and there's a limited supply of people trying to expand to the areas controlled by israel but they prevent us from building there so we go back to areas we can build on since they also agreement between israel and the palestine liberation organization in 190360 percent of the west bank has been under israeli control and israeli human rights organization been calm says only one in $100.00 requests by palestinians to build have been approved in these areas land in the remaining areas falls under palestinian control and as demand has risen so has the price the palestinian population in the west bank has increased 5 times since 1967 while the land that allowed to build on has remained limited and that's frustrating palestinian urban planners this is part of the construction is natural development but the problem is

that we're losing them and we're starting to see a mix of elements and the overall image doesn't have a palestinian identity high buildings are built up and wrong places without planning there's random building and random demolition. but when it comes to illegal israeli settlements critics say the situation is reversed peace now organization says during the past decade i don't 20000 new israeli settlement units have been built here in the west bank illegal israeli settlements are expanding at the expense of palestinian land and these open areas are off limits for palestinians but some of them are still building anyway even though they don't have permission from the israeli authorities. to bring him back when is taking that risk of building even though many people he knows have received demolition orders or had their homes destroyed and when they should win and we want to have houses what other choices do we have if i build here i won't find other places land prices are very expensive so i build on the rooftop. with a growing population in the west bank and limited land to expand into palestinians
