highlight its importance ultimately everything will have to be settled between the israelis and the palestinians but what is important is that this meeting illustrates regional support for desk process in other words the arab states are unified. in their support for. peace plan the israeli palestinian conflict once again is getting attention but it's not clear this latest effort will be the way to peace for the palestinians and the israelis rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington struck and the palestinian authority and its rival hamas have both denounced the u.s. plan accusing trump of trying to buy them off in return for not having their own state and i asked a senior political leader says the whole thing is a farce the conference held at the moment in bahrain is a political conference with an economic coverup it is totally
2:05 am
a political event with the financial and economic come of flaws simply for the reason that this conference and the deal called the deal of the century is aimed at achieving the following 1st to lay the foundation for terminating the palestinian cause 2nd giving the green light to the zionist enemy to extend its occupation and control over the entire west bank. matheson has more from gaza city. it's estimated there are 2000000 people living in gaza at the moment that's about 5600 every square kilometer but the streets of gaza city are quieter this tuesday morning because there's a general strike which is opposed to the economic part of the u.s. plan to joy to find a solution to the israeli palestinian crisis according to palestinian official figures in 201852 percent of gazans didn't have jobs gaza's infrastructure is struggling on tuesday morning israel said it wasn't sending any
2:06 am
fuel to gaza's only power plant and they said it was because gazans had been flying balloons carrying flares into israel in the hopes of setting fires. under the u.s. plan that gaza would be entitled to a share of about $28000000000.00 in investment that would be designed to rebuild the infrastructure and it hopes to create about a 1000000 jobs but people here in gaza say that's not the point the main priority for them is a political solution gazans say that the u.s. plan is designed to distract from the main political objectives the right to return to land which they say is theirs and the removal of controls put on them by mainly the israelis know the israelis say those controls are necessary to stop weapons coming to gaza that could be used against them but the gazans say those controls are at least in part responsible for the poor state of gaza's economy they say to remove the controls and the economy will improve for the people of gaza the
2:07 am
important point is to find a political solution to this crisis and only then will they start talking about the money in lebanon the palestinian political goal fact our organized protests in the refugee camp in southern beirut more than $1000.00 palestinian refugees a crime didn't do the camp which was set up by the red cross in 1949 and then a hard time reports. the children of the $948.00 palestinian refugees now living in lebanon they're taking part in this demonstration to protest the conference taking place in bahrain which is the skies in the trumpet ministrations middle east economic peace plan and people here are angry because they believe the trumpet ministration is pushing for a peace settlement that does not involve their right to return these refugees have been living in exile for 17 years now and they believe any solution to the israeli
2:08 am
palestinian conflict house to involve the right to return to life is very difficult here they live in urban thomson very dire conditions and so the feeling here or the message from the refugees is that palestine is not for sale no matter how much money you offer us we are not going to give up our rights to return home i was you know the whole of. the deal of the century and the rejection to the buffering summit eccles the thoughts of every palestinian around the world we stand behind the palestinian national leadership and its decisions we say no to the deal of the century palestine will not be sold we cling to our right of return to palestine we claim to the land of our ancestors this is our right till the end of time when. the deal of the century is not new for the palestinians are 5 to continue whether the agree or not we don't care about what's happening we have men and refugees in
2:09 am
europe and all around the world and they will never let go of palestine everything that's happening now is nonsense our weapons are pointed at the zionist enemy and palestinians feel the united states is not an honest broker and they believe that its alliance with israel means that any settlement that they propose will be tilted in favor of the israelis and the question they ask here is that if they care so much about our economic conditions then why don't they live to see. on gaza and why did the u.s. administration decide to go to the united nations relief and works agency which is the only organization providing help to these people living on the host country is also not attending the conference in solidarity with the palestinians lebanese officials fear that the deal of the century of the so-called deal of the century will involve naturalizing and resettling palestinian refugees in the host country something that this country says it will not accept let's speak some more about this not to call then doc who is an international affairs analyst and serves as
2:10 am
president of the international consulting firm cd global strategies group thank you so much for being with us from washington how well intended do you think this plan is this u.s. plan the so-called dean of the century does it really show that the u.s. is indeed serious about mediation between the israelis and palestinians no i don't think it demonstrates that the trumpet ministration and your question are are serious about a solution because let's keep in mind from election day 2016 donald trump and your question are so that they would be the ones with the fresh eyes that could come up with a solution that had evaded every party political party every faction every country for decades and now they present a solution that doesn't actually have the political part which is the thing that's been the challenge for the national community along so i think focusing on the economic part was just a way that they could claim a win and it doesn't represent that they are taking seriously what will really
2:11 am
resolve the conflict can they even really claim a win on the economic plan the attempt to promote economic growth in the palestinian territories has been tried before does this deal really offer anything new is there really the opportunity of a lifetime for palestinians and. i don't think there is because as many people have seen a lot of the ideas in this new proposal are recycled ideas that either for one reason the other one able to be implemented but we have to keep in mind what the trumpet ministration defines as a wind a single sheet of paper with no details and north korea commitments around the world on other issues where there are really the substantive details that we need to really know if the chart ministration good to say resolve it and this is no different here with this proposal by questioner in bahrain the palestinians have dismissed a plan they've boycotted the conference in bahrain where does this leave them
2:12 am
though now what are their options do they wait out the trump administration and hope for the best on to the next one or is there something else they can do in the meantime well i think they should do both i think realistically they are going to have to wait until the next administration or a 2nd term with trump which would have its own complications but could maybe open up where they could do but i think now that the peaceful and very detailed substantive protest from the palestinians and those who support them is really key because it lets the trump administration in the white house know what's truly important and you can't put a glossy real estate proposal out there and think that that's going to distract people from what the real conflict is about but some gulf countries as you know have signaled that they're willing to normalize ties with israel do you think they could eventually be regional support here for this and that arab states could eventually be united behind the trend administration. i don't believe
quote
2:13 am
until there is a political component and notice i say a component the bar wasn't that high if he had presented what he presented today with at least a proposed roadmap to get to the political solution that they have said they had then i think it would be more realistic for the stakeholders and other countries in the region to. to at least give it a serious consideration but without the political component they're not going to do it at least in public because it doesn't address once again the heart of the issue and the israeli palestinian conflict thank you so much for talking to us carbon dioxide international affairs analyst joining us and from washington thank you for your time thank you. the rest of the day's news is still ahead the u.s. border chief quits some made an uproar over migrant children being held in filthy conditions zimbabwe and fear the return of hyperinflation as a local dollar is revived 10 years of take became worthless and in sport australia

cricket world cup semifinals and piled the pressure on hosts england peter will have all the action coming up. in a while as news donald trump into a blitz or a part some iran if it attacks anything american the u.s. president delivered the warning via twitter and new war of words where the iran tehran has condemned new u.s. sanctions cold mentally retarded. reports from the main capital tehran. in his 1st public appearance since iran shot down a u.s. surveillance drone last week president hassan rouhani did not hold back he said the latest sanctions targeting iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei are the irrational actions of a confused government didn't know it they are suffering from mental disability the white house is afflicted with mental retardation and doesn't know what to do with
2:15 am
the supreme leader occupies such a protected position in public life that in iran insulting him is illegal in the u.s. applying pariah status to someone so highly revered has angered leaders into iran but of all show me you don't bend a lobbyist nomi he is not only the leader of iran he is the leader of iran and those who love the revolution and all muslims shia and non sheo all around the world iran's leader doesn't only belong to iran many people in lebanon syria iraq afghanistan pakistan kuwait and everywhere shia and non shia love him follow him and obey him and someone who has lost his mind does such a stupid and strange thing and for. iran is under such sweeping sanctions that the latest american move is entirely symbolic but later this week washington has said it will add iran's foreign minister zarif to the sanctions list attacking the
2:16 am
country's top diplomat is something to her and says permanently close is the path to diplomacy main enemy if you're being honest and want to negotiate simultaneously do you want to impose sanctions on the foreign minister so it is clear that you are lying as the u.s. continues its pressure campaign russia has vowed to help iran counter new u.s. sanctions if. iran has been and remains our ally and partner and we consistently develop our relations both bilateral and multilateral which means any attempt to portray tehran as a main threat to regional security or to bring it into line with isis or other terrorist groups is unacceptable to us. but some u.s. officials remain undeterred the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminated iran's nuclear weapons program its pursuit of ballistic missile delivery systems its support for international
2:17 am
terrorism and its other malign behavior worldwide all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. on tuesday foreign minister zarif said once again iran's religious views mean it will never pursue a nuclear weapon and he also reminded people that america is the only beijing to ever drop nuclear bombs on another country world leaders want cooler heads to prevail and washington keeps saying that it wants to calm things down through dialogue but the decision to sanction iran's supreme leader is something so insulting that protect our own it might make a negotiated solution nearly impossible. brazil's supreme court has rejected an appeal for the release of jailed former president luis ignacio. now as for as is known argued he should be freed because a judge that convicted him of corruption was biased as speak to daniel shyam who is
2:18 am
monitoring developments from buenos aires he is live from there what is this you know what was behind this latest move to free from prison tell us more about that 1st. this was the latest move to try to free him from prison he was imprisoned on charges of corruption in april of last year this latest move came about after revelations in the us online newspaper the intercept which said they had evidence the judge put to look behind bars sergio model was working with the prosecutors he was not as impartial as he should have been judge moore or he was now a justice minister he was later rewarded by being given the post as justice minister he has denied these charges against him but this is added weight to lula's charge all along that the. corruption charges against him all along were politically motivated to remove him from the election race last year paving the
2:19 am
way for jaya balsa naro to win convincingly and take office earlier this year so that's basically the case. these 2 charges of her corpus to be brought before the supreme court today both defeated by the supreme court judges is then the end of the fight. he and his defense he will keep fighting they believe that the charges against him have been seriously undermined by these accusations he's in prison for now he's serving 8 years and 10 months but the fight will go on the interceptors said that they have more evidence that they're going to be revealing in the weeks and months ahead as already waiting to see what evidence might be and how if his team are able to strengthen their appeal and where will it leave president was narrow and his
2:20 am
justice minister said germar. was a say the justice minister sergio morrow has said that he's done nothing wrong. there was there was a head in the opinion polls before he was imprisoned so if he is released from prison the last thing that the president wants to see if he is released that would cast a huge shadow over his presidency he will do everything he possibly can given his supporters to ensure that lula remains in prison while lugar and his supporters as i say will keep their fight going to be released thank you for that daniel shyam now live for us in buenos aires. the acting head of the u.s. border protection agency stepping down amid an outcry over the treatment of detained migrant children john sanders departure added to the rapid turnover in departments that are responsible for enforcing donald trump's hardline immigration
2:21 am
policies mike hanna reports. protests on capitol hill as public anger mounts at the treatment to finda grandchildren on the southern border the hardline policies the trumpet ministration held responsible not housing people you're putting them in cages and the truth is that this is all manufactured that ministration is creating this crisis if they actually put the resources where they could put the resources they could support all these individuals the fraction of the cost a number of children were removed from the spill a tee off to a team of lawyers reported they were being killed in appalling conditions unaccompanied children as young as 2 were said to be covered in filth sleeping on cold concrete floors with insufficient food and water we cannot wait we cannot wait we've got to keep our eye on the ball which is reforming t.h.'s but we have to meet our obligation as human beings and fund the needs for the care of these children
2:22 am
president trump has voiced his concern about the situation but denies his administration is responsible claiming the democrats are holding up a bill providing for $4500000000.00 in what is described as humanitarian aid a lot of these young children come from places that you don't even want to know about the way they live the way they've been the way that the poverty and corruption but with that if we can get this bill signed will be able to do it we have you know the democrats don't want to say anything this is the latest in a series of reports concerning the mistreatment of migrants attempting to cross the u.s. border. 3 months ago these migrants were held to the makeshift camp under a bridge in el paso texas a few weeks ago others held outside in the summer heat without access to basic services the department of health and human services says urgent funding is needed to deal with a crisis created by what it calls a broken immigration system the customs and border protection agency is coming
2:23 am
under particular attack as the acting commissioner john saunders is expected to step down in coming weeks and then a move that's likely to fuel even greater public concern the agency has confirmed that more than 100 children are being moved back to the facility they were rescued from a few days ago. mike hanna al-jazeera washington. has now speak to jeff howes who's executive director of the revolving door project at the center for economic and policy research is in washington jeffrey good to have you with us on al-jazeera the focus has been. the this center and claimed but it's not the only one is it how big of a crisis is u.s. immigration facing today. the problem is broad the trump administration has decided to try that create everyone across the border even when they are seeking asylum very credibly as if they are
2:24 am
a criminal and they are immediately acting to separate parents from children and they are refusing to put people into reasonable accommodations where they don't exist within the government they are not working with charities they are not putting people up in motels or hotels they are treating people like criminals they do not have the facilities to treat children as criminals or should children be treated as criminals and it's a vast crisis involving thousands and tens of thousands of human beings and america is acting like there is a war going on and this is an invading force when it's in reality people who have been beaten down by a horrifying circumstances in central america generally and it's not a threat to the united states is not a threat to our status as a moral country jeff what do we know precisely about the situation of these unaccompanied minors in these facilities who takes care of these children. well under what's called the flores agreements under
2:25 am
a settlement that the clinton administration reached 22 years ago. they are supposed to be treated humanely they're supposed to be put within the care of the health and human services department they're not supposed to be treated as if they're are emerging criminals right now saunders has been replaced as head of the customs and border patrol by an individual who has been up until now running ice on an acting apartment ice is the foresman wing of the department of homeland security and this is a guy who said that he could look into the face of young children and see if they were likely to become members of a gang he's a racist and so we essentially have people who are going to be in the care of a racist hardliner as opposed to in the care of a department that is supposed to be looking out for their well being and so it's a moral crisis erica acting director of border customs and protection who's resigning has blamed the crisis on the lack of funding congress we know has yet to
2:26 am
pass this $4500000.00 i magine see funding they have but is the package that the administration has put forward is it about humanitarian funding will this address the crisis you think. it will increase some of the worst enforcement measures in the country so on the one hand it may make conditions a little bit more humane especially if you take it as a given that the administration will be treating everyone as if they're criminals this might soften the impact of that indefensible approach by the company ministration but in other ways it would harden the approach and so the democrats in the house have a extremely difficult moral quandary because it'll probably on the edges make things a little bit better over time over the course of several months but they would also be reinforcing some of the worst behaviors by this administration and so ultimately i'm not sure that this bill will leave people any better off than they are right
2:27 am
now and it's certainly not necessary for the united states to treat people humanely for this bill to be passed this is a crisis that is being created by president trump thank you so much for sharing a geezer this and joining us now from washington thank you for your time. i had a nice 2nd half of this news hour as the world gets warmer the poor get poorer and the un sounds the alarm about the impact of climate change. will have on vulnerable people. aid arrives in uganda for people fleeing fighting in the democratic republic of congo with nothing but their lives and the wimbledon champion looks ahead to their defense of his title peter has the action coming up it's for cystic .
