he knows have received demolition orders or had their homes destroyed in this can when they should win then that we want to have houses what other choices do we have if i build here i won't find other places land prices very expensive so i build on the rooftop. with a growing population in the west bank and limited land to expand into palestinians here are having to adapt to a new way of living and it's not one many of them would choose. the occupied west bank the trumpet ministration is imposing major new travel restrictions on americans visiting cuba the treasury department says it will no longer allow educational or cultural groups to travel to the island one of the most popular forms of tourism for americans it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats it's part of efforts by the united states to pressure have over what it calls cuba's destabilizing role in the region including its support for president nicolas maduro in venezuela under the former u.s.

president barack obama the white house had eased sanctions travel and financial restrictions and established formal diplomatic relations our white house correspondent kimberly halkett 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 as well as well as in the 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 and all go son is a journalist based in cuba he says it's likely the decision will have an impact on cuba's economy. the cuban economy is increasingly dependent on tourism within the over the last few years cruise tourism has been growing for normally taking last year's figures for example of the 300000 americans visited cuba by

cruise that's more americans that visit to the island by commercial airlines so by taking away got saying that mode of transport you're potentially going to be half in the amount of american businesses and tourism is the main thing now that's keeping the cuban economy afloat it's a very difficult regional context the the american of course the united states a strong hostile to the rights over the last few years cuba is isolated and those tourist dollars look a thing state coffers and off decent shape but also cubans working in the tourist economy which is overwhelmingly the private sector so people who are in restaurants people who work in restaurants lightweights as musicians artists they're going to be hit be hit by this fall in service and of course americans are renowned in cuba being very very generous with the tips which filters through hugely to indirectly i'd say it's on just thousands if not millions of cubans working in the private sector so it's not a happy day here in cuba international organizations are under pressure to speak

out on various human rights issues none more so than the channel men square massacre in 1989 but the united nations remained silent on the 30th anniversary of the killings in china our diplomatic editor and james bays has more from the u.n. in new york. in recent months u.n. secretary general antonio good terrace has faced criticism for not speaking out strongly enough on human rights in particular he failed to mention publicly the plight of the weakest on his most recent trip to beijing so how would the un respond on the anniversary of a human rights atrocity the massacre in tiananmen square does the secretary-general have any comments on this very important anniversary show i mean i would remind you of our constant call on security forces in governments not to use excessive force when facing civilian demonstrators a very general answer would no specific mention of china its so i tried again does

the secretary general condemn the tiananmen massacre does he condemn the fact that no one was held to account does he condemn the human rights abuses against the weakest dizzee condemn human rights abuses about tibetans yes or no i think the secretary general has addressed and we've addressed those issues. in various briefings we've answered those questions is there not some historic resonance here you are not directly condemning the tiananmen massacre and yet at the same time secretary general is calling for an independent investigation into a massacre that's happened in the last few days in saddam's double standards no not double standards i think the secretary were commenting on things that are happening . today right now under is. under his watch and again on on the broader issue of human rights in china i would refer you to things i've said previously the other most senior official of the u.n.

along with the secretary general is the president of the general assembly oppose currently held by maria fernanda espinosa if you thought the answers from the secretary general's office lacks substance just listen to what i was told by her spokespersons directly does she condemn what happened 30 years ago in tiananmen square. with. the she condemn the fact that there's been no accountability for the massacre i think i have. a problem i think i have. i don't have any. general. china's president xi. through his. general. support of the security council.

of the united nations still ahead on the. favorite. moments.

that they feel is running so there was never any chance of another candidate basing johnny and say you know what i wasn't really any control the say around it it's all and he was quite emotional in that he loves the limelight and he was really really milking it but actually a favor to be in a position where people are not talking about scandal is something that plays to do and if you listen to what mr bean find so you know him so says about turning around . this organization went from being toxic almost criminal. to being what it should be an organization that develops football nobody talks about scandals nobody talks about corruption we talk about football. now this congress was supposed to be about the cats our expansion but that's off the

table now has there been much talk about it. now we've made it very clear for many moments on al-jazeera just how unlikely mr infantilize plan was so politics with him what he was doing is making sure he said the right thing about expanding so the confederation's could think well if they do expand we'll have more teams but politically it wasn't going to happen so this was something that he wrote of the sheepishly she mentioned die and then they very quickly moved on we knew that wasn't going to happen what is attention that's emerging is the same fate for a new life for the your wife the president is on the shuffle and i just grabbed a word with him as he was leaving and you could see him bristling about the fact that in front so you know we're debating with french president marc bolan and that she some criticism of come out about you wife has plans with the champions the very controversial so much of the biggest clubs and the other clubs find it harder to qualify mischief and said where we might call on decisions clearly made in that

up for the clay that hopefully that's going to happen if i would have had a different mindset. to avoid him then i should not have played the clay. india have finally started their cricket world cup campaign they're up against south africa who've already played and lost twice it's currently $75.00 for 2. ok the n.b.a. finals continue on thursday the toronto raptors headed to game 3 against golden state warriors with the series tied at one game apiece the raptors won the 1st game in toronto before golden state level best of 7 series this is the 1st time the raptors are appearing in the finals golden state are the defending champions but several of their top players are injured game 3 might be the best chance truong who has to beat the warriors on their home court anthony joshua will get the chance to
