u.s. national security adviser john bolton says iran should not to mistake u.s. prudence for weakness bolton made the comments alongside prime minister benjamin netanyahu in israel the 2 have been discussing regional security is tensions are high between washington and tehran. iran can never have nuclear weapons not against the usa and not against the world. and as he made clear yesterday referring to his earlier remarks the president said i just right stop the strike from going forward at this time when iran insists the u.s. drone it shot down on thursday was within its space president hassan rouhani is calling that's a violation and the start of new tensions in the region he's urging world leaders to take action the u.n. security u.n. secretary general i should say is appealing for calm on all sides and we see. today it's

a very important day said it's 2 days ago everybody must be nervous of steel it's absolutely essential to avoid any form of escalation. well senior white house adviser john kush that has laid out the 1st part of his so-called deal of the century that see middle east peace plan he says is based on $50000000000.00 of investment more than half would be spent on palestinian infrastructure of a 10 yes the rest would be split between egypt lebanon and jordan one of the main projects is a $5000000000.00 transportation corridor to connect the occupied west bank and gaza nearly $2000000000.00 would also be injected into the palestinian tourism industry question is trying to drum up support for the $179.00 infrastructure and business project ahead of an international conference which is taking place in bahrain next week a palestinian political leader is boycotting the events they've refused to talk to the united states since it recognized jerusalem as israel's capital in 2017. the plan would invest about $50000000000.00 in the region that would create

a 1000000 jobs in the west bank and gaza take their unemployment rate from about 30 percent single digits it would reduce their poverty rate by half if it's implemented correctly it's a 10 year plan that would double their g.d.p. we've had a peer reviewed now by about a dozen economists in a dozen countries and we're very excited to put it forward well thousands of protesters in morocco have come out to march against the government's plan to attend the upcoming peace summit in bahrain and these are the scenes in the coastal city of or about the u.s. officials said that morocco along with egypt and jordan had confirmed it would attend the meeting jared christian met with the king of morocco last month but officials denied that they had received details of his peace plan that's been out of the city joins us live from west reason lots to talk about rob 1st up this peace plan george bush has revealed details of it tell us more about how it's going down with the palestinians. well the short answer is not very well with the

palestinians who have ever spawn the they've essentially just rejected it out of hand they haven't even bothered to go into any of the details on the hunt on a showing of the palestine liberation organization but out a statement saying the plan is abstract promises the palestinian president mahmoud abbas said on saturday that without a political solution there is no point in even talking about anything to do with the economy and hamas which controls the gaza strip simply said palestine is not for sale those opposed to the this plan our fairly fixed with one particular idea and that is that the poor infrastructure and the poor economy that palestine is suffering is directly attributable they say to the blockade in the restrictions that are being imposed by israel if you remove the blockade if you remove those restrictions then the economy will have room to flourish but removing those restrictions is

a political decision along with all the other elements that the palestinians would like to see like for example a right of return to the land that they believe is theirs plus the removal of israel's settlements here in the west bank and other parts of the controls in other parts of palestine that they say is a political decision a political move on until that's done there's no point to toll and talking about the economic elements that this plan is proposing to put forward right and in other news there where john bolton has been meeting benjamin netanyahu and iran very much the focus that. yes absolutely we heard john bolton talking earlier on and that was at a press conference which was held by benjamin netanyahu and john bolton prior to this series of 3 way meetings that are going to take place over the next few days and they're going to include russia in that as well and it was an opportunity for

both the u.s. and israel to put forward their particular viewpoints as far as iran was concerned now we heard john bolton making a very strong statements with regard to iran but also the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he was very determined that a key element of these talks should be the removal of iran's military which is currently in syria crossed the border from israel and which israel regards as a threat in fact every guards' any iranian presence in syria as essentially a red line it will not tolerate that and it wants that military presence to be removed but interestingly also the prime minister is very anxious to have this meeting used as a demonstration that israel is an effective actor on the global stage that it has a significant role to play in global politics and this is important because let's not forget that benjamin netanyahu struggled and failed to produce

a government at the end of may he is now facing elections back in the coming up in september so the timing of this meeting and the image of this meeting is extremely important to him one final thing is the presence of the russians at this meeting it's understood that the u.s. is going to try to use the russians to try to influence a run to perhaps reduce the amount of what could be perceived as provocative actions by by iran and perhaps even get to some sort of back door negotiations with a view to removing the tensions but also possibly moving forward doing something to try to reestablish some. form of nuclear deal and it's only 15 years for the a deal of course is the one that donald trump hold of the u.s. out of the stars of this situation so there's a lot that's going to be do going to be going to be discussed over the next couple of days and as soon as we find out anything we're going to be watching it very closely and we'll bring it to you because right we'll speak to then thanks very

much all right madison reporting that now residents of istanbul have been voting in a controversial rerun of the measure of election held about 3 months ago polls close in the next hour. opposition counted it was declared the winner of the 1st votes but the result was an old after the ruling party filed a legal challenge over alleged irregularities shouldn't go soon it has more now from istanbul. again today it is a neck to neck race for both the opposition candidate examine them all and the ruling party candidates. who are running for stumble mayorship the turnout is expected to be. expected to go higher than march 31st which was at least 83 per cent now it is expected to be a bowl 991 per cent both parties both camps actually are trying to is trying to encourage the voters who didn't who didn't go to the ballot boxes on march 31st

that's why the ruling party is targeting the kurdish small stuff they have lost on march 31st and it's sympathizers votes who who actually didn't go to the ballot box in order to protest the recent policies of the ruling party and the opposition party it tried to console a date the votes and preserve those votes that they have gained on march 31st it is not only a mayoral campaign or may your. election for turkey because some will is the heart of truth is the most populous city it's runs almost how full of the economy that's why both camps believe that if they if they keep the stumble in hand they have the power especially especially just taking a look at president. who climbed the stairs from istanbul mayorship to the prime minister then to presidency for the ruling party most in your stumble is something like losing turkey that's why the opposition believes that if they can give

a blow to the ruling party in istanbul they will have a good chance for the upcoming general election on 2023 well let's take this on we can speak to members of the quds managing editor of the daily newspaper which is an english language newspaper in turkey and joins us from istanbul mr selig welcome to the program this could be very very close couldn't tell us what's at stake. well you know it is going to be a neck to neck race i think at this moment and and the and the fact that as tom wall is one of the i mean it is the most populous city there's a lot at that will be at stake here however i think whoever was able to mobilize their respective voter bases to have that slight lead in the in the results which we'll find out tonight because there was a vote 1500000 voters who did not go to poll polls in march 31st elections

and the margin between the 2 candidates in the in the results which were notified by this supreme election counsel was very very small when when we were when we actually compared it to the to over $10000000.00 eligible voters it was about 10030000 votes at the end of the day that made a difference so there is a lot of at stake but at the end of the day this is democracy i mean there will be one winner whoever gets that one extra vote after the peels are made it will be the mayor of istanbul and i think that has a lot to do with how functional the democracy is in turkey so you know if the previous elections were were taken to the supreme election core due to your you know an irregularity is claimed by our party and there was a decision made for iran now we know that we know lel dream is campaign this

time iran was much stronger however. the nation alliance candidate is also seen as a strong candidate in the elections so there will be a very tight race and whoever was able to mobilize their voter base is particularly do use and particularly the. ethnically courage kurdish voters i think they will take a. slight lead and there's a winner and it's a little bit more about why this is such an important election for the president to one's party not to lose when there are those who say that the policy is under pressure cracks are beginning to show and this could be exacerbated if they lose this election well if they lose the elections i don't think there will be a huge blow as people have been analyzing it because i mean in the most recent

elections our party was still the number one party you know off its past 17 years it's been good number one party in every election that it's been in in a stumble they want 20 odd minutes apologies out of the 39 and municipal councils they were still the leading party so yes there is that exhaust exhaustion and tiredness and fatigue over the past 17 years however i think we cannot say that this is a stumble and elections will meet will be a point where it will be a make it or break it point for our party's rules for the for the coming years it will be a it is a significant city it is a significant electoral. race but i don't think you know this will be a point where it will make a. make it or break it for president are the ones political life in the coming
