the united states $50000000000.00 formula for peace between israelis and palestinians the u.s. president's son in law and senior advisor opened a conference in bahrain on palestinian economic development part of a wider initiative to end decades of conflict palestinian leaders though have already rejected the platen and costing the gathering fast roslyn jordan outlines just what chad crush now has announced to be clear that their business leaders and government officials are among them all to discuss the u.s. his latest effort to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict a $50000000000.00 economic overhaul for the palestinian people and the region the u.s. president's son in law has been working on this plan which relies on both private and public funding since 2017 this effort is better refer to as the opportunity of

the century if leadership has the courage to pursue it. this is about creating opportunity for the palestinian people this is about creating opportunity for the people throughout the middle east if implemented correctly and competently the economic plan i will go through now will lead to growth and better lives cushion or and other u.s. officials say this could be the solution to decades of war occupation and mistrust the palestinians disagree they're not at the conference the white house plan ignores a strategy supported for decades by the international diplomatic community negotiated borders and land swaps a guaranteed right of return for palestinian refugees an agreement i'm a legal status of jerusalem and security guarantees for israel even so repeated u.s. brokered talks have not succeeded in 2 states living side by side in security and peace by direct message to the palestinian people is that despite what those who

have let you down in the past tell you president trump and america have not given up on you this workshop is for you. the vision we developed and released if executed correctly will lead to a better future for the palestinian people a future of dignity prosperity and opportunity is the gathering worth it if only to 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 desperate 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 while i was photo rami who already here is a professor at the american university of beirut and he says the trumpet ministrations attempt to separate the economic from political issues just might walk. the economic stress that the palestinians are suffering is largely a function of the political occupation exile and refugee hood that they suffer so you have to deal with the 2 things together the attempt to promote economic growth has been tried before by tony blair and the united nations and many others and it just doesn't work because this is not unlike the economic stress is a consequence of political denial you have to address the political side you can address them simultaneously they could have held this workshop and behind in and held the political negotiation in geneva that might have worked palestinians want

to live a decent life but they want equal rights so the question or talk today was he was talking about security for the state of israel and dignity for the palestinians well dignity is is fine but security is what everybody needs statehood security sovereignty and unless those 2 issues are dealt with together there's never going to be any progress well as the bahrain conference was getting underway the u.n. agency responsible responsible for palestinian refugees was asking for more than a $1000000000.00 at its annual pledging conference in new york it's been struggling to cope since the white house cut $300000000.00 of funding last year so have a tansey has more from the united nations. after the trumpet ministration cut off all funding for the un relief and works agency $42.00 countries stepped up and increased their share of funding in order to make up the shortfall this meeting in part is to remind and should be those donors to ensure that funding continues in

2019 what's fascinating about the timing of this is it does happen on the same day as gerard cushion his workshop in bahrain for the financial aspects of his deal of the century and the same arguments that were being used by gerard cushion or for his deal were being used by jason green blatt the trumpet ministration negotiator for ending funding for the un agency that looks after refugees we're doing this for the palestinians the un refugee agency isn't good enough for them we want the palestinians to prosper even though as a result of that funding shortfall there could be enormous humanitarian consequences it is also interesting that there is a suspicion here that it is intimately connected to the question a plan that there's a thought in washington perhaps that if you end funding for the u.n. refugee agency the relief the refugee agency that works for the palestinians then perhaps you can say there is no longer a refugee problem there's no issue of the right of return and that's very much on the minds you can tell of delegates of this conference that they want to keep the

funding for the u.n. relief and works agency to make sure that the issue of refugees doesn't disappear that the trump administration can't simply say look now that the un russia has gone maybe there is no refugee problem and we can just move on with the deal of the century. well the u.s. house of representatives has approved a 4500000000 dollars aid package to address surging numbers of asylum seekers coming across the mexican border the bill includes new standards for migrants in custody following reports of children being held in extremely poor conditions the acting head of the u.s. border protection agency has resigned amid the outcry president donald trump has vowed to veto the legislation well car along is the senior research at human rights watch and last week she visited a texas detention center where hundreds of children have been held. situation that we found in at the clint border patrol station was that all of the so-called unaccompanied children in that region in that area were being concentrated in this

one detention center and when we arrived there we got a roster that said there were over 350 children in the facility and so we started asking to see children you know we don't have the right to see the facility under the terms of the agreement that we were inside the facility on but we could speak with them so we started calling the young children we started calling children who appeared to have been there for a long time and what we found is that kids were living in overcrowded cells they were eating the same food they were not allowed outside for significant periods of time there was nothing to do no no sort of child friendly activities at all. and they were dirty they didn't have access regular access to showers or toothbrushes they were wearing the same clothes they had been wearing for weeks and then you know most worryingly there was no there appeared to be no provisions for childcare meanwhile trump is delaying raids that would remove thousands of undocumented immigrants from the country however immigration officials are still deporting

people who show up at court for routine appearances christensen we spoke with a pregnant woman whose deportation order was put on hold just hours before her removal was due to take place. the family of alamo centeno santiago anxiously awaits word the pregnant mother of these 2 american born children has been in jail for about 3 months and is scheduled to be deported to her native guatemala the following day. finally a call. and if it's lunch time. she says she's had severe stomach problems while in custody at a facility dealing with a mumps outbreak she just went to the doctor but missed a meal in the process her mother is distraught for. i don't know what will happen

with the children it's sad that they could deport her because they need her we all need her a deportation order was issued for santiago because she missed a court appearance the 34 year old crossed the southern border 15 years ago and filed for asylum claiming she faced violence and threats back home neither immigration and customs enforcement nor the jail would comment on her claims of in adequate medical care. santiago was arrested outside a local courthouse where she appeared to settle a domestic dispute according to the immigrant defense fund federal agents have made more than $200.00 courthouse arrests in new york in the last year that's a 17 fold increase since donald trump became president in 2016 the stepped up enforcement comes as the trumpet ministration pressures congress to make it more difficult for immigrants to obtain asylum but santiago's lawyer says she's entitled

to due process she asked the court to stay her deportation until her appeal could be heard there's been no allegations that she is violent or that she is a danger to her community she's a mother of 2 and to whisk her away and not give her access to the courts and not have her be able to reside. in forums in which we have those eye injuries all these kind of issues is just really an affront to our entire legal process. and it's been hard on the children who don't know if and when they will see her again santiago told us she had nowhere to live in guatemala and if deported she would try to return kristen salumi al-jazeera queens new york and it's the poor whole suffer while the rich buy their way out of the effects of global warming that's the warning from the united nations as it details how the world is on course for what it calls climate apartheid in

a report that says climate change threatens to cancel 50 years of progress and poverty reduction that the un special rapporteur on extreme poverty for the allston warns that hundreds of millions will face westing food insecurity and disease. all regions will actually be affected but within any regions it will be relatively poor people the concern is that there will be some form of commerce apartheid where the rich will be busily buying themselves out trying to secure protection etc people who are less well off in absolutely all regions of the world will bear the brunt of climate change so it's a really major issue in terms of poverty and to nate to try to promote a comprehensive solution to the challenge it's not really a fight against climate change that we should be looking at what the problem is

that if there is going to be any chance of preventing horrific bubble warming we need to be undertaking dramatically affirmative measures now the sort of things that have been doing in that much countries that doing currently. a fair shake in terms of the scale of the need politicians are not focused on what needs to be done they're not focused on the extent of the challenge or of baby change that needs to be brought about we asked all asleep or going into a climate change horror story. now organizers say $1500.00 people have taken part in new marches across hong kong they are part of ongoing demonstrations against a bill allowing for extradition to mainland china demonstrators hope their cause will be discussed at the upcoming g. 20 meeting in our saka the extradition bill was suspended by the city's chief

a business rate parts of iran if it attacks anything american the u.s. president delivered the warning via twitter and a new war of words with iran tehran has condemned new u.s. sanctions as mentally retarded. the reports from the iranian capital. 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. they are suffering from mental disability the white house is afflicted with mental retardation and doesn't know what to do. the supreme leader occupies such a protected position in public life that in iran insulting him is illegal the u.s. supplying a status to someone so highly revered has angered leaders into iran that. iran banned a lobbyist 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 all around the world iran's leader doesn't only belong terror on 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 what. 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 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. 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. security or to bring it into line with isis or other terrorist groups is acceptable to us. but some u.s. officials remain undeterred the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminate iran's nuclear weapons program its pursuit of ballistic missile delivery systems its support for international 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 basin 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 for to one it might make a negotiated solution nearly impossible. amnesty international says egypt is using counterterrorism as cover for a crackdown on its opponents it follows the arrest of 8 people and trading human rights lawyers journalists politicians and activists they're accused of having links to the banned muslim brotherhood group they also accused of plotting protests during the upcoming out of us read of the military coup which deposed president mohamed morsy and 20 that teen 40 died last week after collapsing in course. we spoke to dalia fahmy here he is an assistant professor at long island university and a member of the egyptian rule of law or association she says the government has almost

complete power to shut down political opponents. they're accused of allegedly carrying out or possibly planning to carry out by lent and disorderly acts and so you have to remember than egypt the terrorism law is so broad and sweeping that disorderly acts also includes insulting the state or working in concert to for example run for elections or possibly contest authority in the state and so technically in many ways or terrorism charges old will there terrorism trials are very broad and sweeping in so you can some of them are accused of having associations for example the muslim brotherhood now again these are secular and leftist activists and so we're seeing is here we are coming upon a nother anniversary the june 30th anniversary and this is a way to kind of put fabricated charges to spread fear among society

now brazil's supreme court has rejected a request to freeform the president who is in our studio to sell that from prison news noya say the judge who convicted him of corruption was biased that judge said tomorrow is now 7 as justice minister and the president jaya both sonora. is monitoring developments from one is very. this latest appeal to free the former president of brazil lula da silva from prison was inspired by revelations in the us online newspaper the intercept that the judge who put him behind bars so your model was undermined was compromised by colluding with the prosecutors in the car wash or lover case which accused of corruption he has denied those charges all along he said the case against him has always been politically motivated to remove him from the presidential race last year opening the way for a job also now to win an overwhelming victory and take over the presidency earlier

this year defense team lay himself in prison has said he will continue to fight against the case taken they will continue to question the impartiality of the judge now justice minister sergio model they will do everything they can to keep their case alive intercepted due to release further revelations in the coming weeks about what they say is the case is that the problems with the case against lula in the meantime the last thing the president would like to see is a free for as a free man he was ahead in those opinion polls during the presidential campaign he wants to see him remain behind bars and will do everything to ensure that's the case and his team will keep fighting. ukrainian delegates have walked out of a meeting of a european based human rights body after russia's voting rights were restored the council of europe which isn't linked to the e.u. suspended moscow 5 years ago after the next to the ukrainian territory of crimea

to be welcome news u.s. president donald trump because after the special counsel submitted his report to the attorney general the attorney general waited a few weeks to put that report out but he did summarize the findings basically saying no conclusion no obstruction in the investigation into russian interference in the 26th election now if you read the report that's not exactly what the special counsel was sane they were muller said he didn't want to do this you do want to testify he said read the report but the bottom line is not many americans and not all members of congress have actually read the $400.00 plus pages much less the $45.00 page summary so this is going to be a chance for democrats to set the narrative to put out all the damaging information in the report on camera that can be looped around for the american people to watch over and over again now there are some democrats in the house who have said this report should lead to impeachment hearings the leadership has not wanted to go

there they say the american public is not for impeachment this will be the democrats' best chance to try and change public opinion and whether or not the u.s. president should be impeached. hello i'm mr hall with your headline from al-jazeera senior white house adviser jared kushner has unveiled the economic policy of the u.s. middle east peace plan he says it's the opportunity of the century for palestinians 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. the conference held at the moment in bahrain is a political conference with an economic coverup it is totally a political event with the financial and economic camouflage 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
