to step forward and either begin by reaching the crew in the ship if in the cargo once in a arrow and then make sure it's is that prima navigation right in the strait of hormuz the gulf or go mon and in the persian gulf only if really respected israel has blocked the planned visit by u.s. democratic congresswoman rashid that laban l one omar the politicians who are both muslim plan to visit israel in the occupied palestinian territories this coming weekend the prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the visit would harm israel earlier the u.s. president donald trump said israel would show great week this if the visit was allowed to go ahead for harry falls that is following the story from west jerusalem . well this decision comes as there were final preparations underway for this visit the 2 young u.s. congresswoman would you apparently to visit hebron bethlehem ramallah and occupied east jerusalem there was reporting that israeli officials were planning how to

handle a potential visit to the locks a mosque compound known to jews as the temple mount and so this decision comes in the shape of what seems to be a real reversal of the israeli attitude to the potential visit the statement from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu talked of the sole purpose of this visit being to strengthen the boycott and digital mys israel because both congressman support the b.d.s. movement boycott divestment and sanctions against israel saying that they were not not to meet any israeli officials or opposition figures not that they had any plans apparently to meet any p.a. officials either and saying that this would harm israel and incite against it the key difference between what appeared to be the previous position of the israelis you have to remember that the u.s. the israeli ambassador to the united states wrong damage just last month indicated this visit would go ahead the key difference seems to be the attitude of donald trump there was reporting at the weekend that he was suggesting israel should

boycott them if they wanted to boycott israel and then just before the official announcement from israel came through there was a tweet from donald trump in which he said that israel would show great weakness if it decided to allow them in and he said that they hate israel and all jewish people so it does seem to be in a lot of the criticism of this decision is along the lines that it does seem to be catering to the domestic political agenda of donald trump in targeting these congresswomen it does also potentially accord with benjamin netanyahu own electioneering head of the september elections here it plays to his right wing voter base but there is criticism coming from israeli voices as well on the basis that it could affect the long term bipartisan nature. the relationship between the united states and israel criticism too from the veteran figure. who is behind part of the planning of this visit saying that it was an outrageous act of hostility against the american people and their representatives so you is or was trying to

obscure its human rights record and there is reaction now coming in from the united states so we'll cross over to political gain in washington for more on that. well i do think we should talk about how this all started it was with that tweet from u.s. president donald trump again where he said israel would be showing great weakness if they let the congresswoman in and he said this was this quote they hate israel and all jewish people i think it's important to point out that there is a no actual evidence of these congresswomen hate israel or all jewish people but they did do is vote against a resolution which would have condemned b.d.s. the boycott divest and sanction movement that was voted through the house pretty bipartisan vote but still that they have said that they support the b.d.s. movement there has been reaction from congresswoman and omar she called this an affront and said as a member of the foreign relations committee it's my job to conduct oversight of

foreign aid and to legislate on human rights so we haven't actually seen them on camera that is probably going to be the next thing that continues the story but what we have seen as across the board democrats in congress saying that israel needs to reverse this decision we heard from the senate minority leader chuck schumer senator schumer said that this move is going to cost israel support in the united states so they're urging the. government to basically reverse this apac the pro israeli government lobby the very powerful lobby here they're not going that far as to say that they should be allowed in but they are condemning the move from israel very rare that they actually criticize the netanyahu government party because it is quite unprecedented here u.s. presidents recommend to another country to blog the entry of 2 u.s. citizens let alone 2 members of congress so what do we expect the fallout from this

could be. unprecedented you're right it but it's not even it's just doesn't happen ever in the history of this country we have never seen this happen and just to give you a sense of how this is going over the new york times wrote this this was one of the most pronounced violation of democratic norms since his election so the president is being criticized across the board from democrats for taking this step the netanyahu government is being criticized but the broader fallout could be this we have seen recently that the democratic party used to be they had complete support for israel it's become more and more partisan and that wasn't started to happen when prime minister netanyahu came to the u.s. to lobby congress against the iran deal even though the time the democratic president barack obama didn't invite him wasn't consulted then you start to see democrats support fall off what this is done is this is now the lead story of all of the newscasts the cable shows and what it's talk to is an in-depth discussion on

the b.d.s. movement and this is across the board even in conservative media that doesn't happen in the united states not a lot of people even know that the b.d.s. movement exists so what this is done is it is thrust it onto the front pages onto the cable news and right now it is what the american media is talking about ok. thank you for that update from washington one person is that agenda another injured after a knife attack on israeli police compounds in occupied east jerusalem extra police have been deployed to the area off to be attacked by 2 young palestinians one was shot dead and the other was shot and wounded dozens of protesters were injured at the last compound by israeli police earlier this week on 2 more head on the al jazeera news hour including no foreign country should interfere in hong kong internal affairs. china's ambassador to the. video emerges of

embassies of india one of one such large protest happened in london where the advisor to the prime minister also went the reason was that he told media that he wants to highlight the human rights violations that are being committed on the indian side of the border because it has been 12 days that india has not lifted its blockade on the kashmiri people pakistan insisting that 12000000 kashmiris are being held hostage by indian forces where they're not allowing any movement any congregation or basic telephone and internet services and and child for her has more from new delhi. the indian government is not here to fish and you responded to the news of ceasefire violations however one indian news agency has called it an unnamed indian official and said that a cease fire violation occurred on my limited the ceasefire across the line of control. in. the agency adds that the official has told the agency that 3 sources were killed as the indian army retaliated but denied

the killing of 5 indian soldiers if 5 indian soldiers have been killed in some states the indian officials would have to respond and this could possibly be an escalation we want to see in the region right now and that is tensions between india and pakistan 2 quite high level busy countries have been in high alert since the indian government decided to abrogate section $370.00 which is a special status that the state of jammu and kashmir had and gave it a certain autonomy. there's been a march in support of southern separatists have taken control of the yemeni port city of aden the southern transitional council called for the rally to show backing of the independence of southern yemen separatist fighters backed by the u.a.e. sees the city last week it's created a rift in the saudi erotica militia which has supported yemen's internationally recognized government based in aden. migrants and refugees from if you are being

minister made his annual independence day speech the 1st since his landslide reelection win and since his government revoked autonomy for indian administered kashmir something he says was long needed. in the past 70 years these arrangements have given strength to separatism birth to terrorism nepotism and in a way his work to give strength to the foundation of corruption and discrimination i can say it proudly that every indian can say one nation one constitution and. on the streets of the capital new delhi people celebrated the 72nd anniversary of independence from british colonial rule. they also were jubilant about changes which mere. is the meaning of. and. then. it's. a very good decision kashmir people will see this

message and feel to have independence india got its into been to us years ago. but people in the kashmir valley say they have nothing to celebrate the mood in srinagar the largest city in india and mr kashmir is saw as restrictions remain in force by security personnel and phone lines and the internet are blocked bold question you were facing a lot of difficulties we do not celebrate independence day everything is shut down you won't be allowed to go anywhere and everything is locked down you know how much . we don't have any freedom or anything we've been suppressed with the use of force . because constitutionally this policy analyst says although integrating kashmir into india has been the goal the previous governments the method being used now has destroyed kashmiris faith in india's government. at the same independence day you just go. to fish movies with words and not with the

same. location. that is. a legal challenge being heard by india's supreme court could hinder the government's plans as with challenges from abroad china is back in focus on her quest for the u.n. security council to discuss the situation in greece near with prime minister narendra modi basking in the most indians government leaders may soon have to take their justifications to the international stage. al-jazeera new delhi the us president donald trump is urging china's president xi jinping to go to hong kong and meet protestors to diffuse the crisis he made the comments on twitter after a video emerged of chinese security forces near the border with hong kong beijing insists they are there for routine exercises with more. people in hong kong are aware of the troop movements across the border. but you don't get an

impression that anyone is in a state of panic there is a certain general sense of anxiety because everybody is a certainty facing this place but that said china is sending out a message that message being we are here and we're actually very close add those pictures to do words of the chinese ambassador k. he said that this was the grave this crisis facing hong kong since the british handover in 1907 he also said that. he won't china won't allow protesters to bring home going down into the abbotts and he also said that china is monitoring moves among certain protesters that he equated to terrorism. well china's ambassador to the u.k. has accused foreign forces of being behind the protests in hong kong no foreign country should interfere in hong kong's internal affairs we urge those foreign

forces to respect china's sovereignty and security immediately stop interfering in hong kong's affairs stop interfering in china's internal affairs so conniving violent offenses this should not misjudge the situation and go down the wrong path otherwise they will lift the storm only to drop it on their own feet the ambassador also accused some british politicians of viewing hong kong as part of the british empire that was in response to a british m.p.'s proposal that people in hong kong should get u.k. citizenship rights hong kong was a british colony until 1971 it was handed over to china part of that deal sought china pledged to give the territory a high degree of autonomy with its own executive legislature and judiciary were

a green is a china analyst of the research consultancy ts lombard he says there's no chance of paying going to hong kong. she do you think we're not going there to negotiate with with the protesters which as you've noted have been described by beijing as terrorists so this is the escalation in the rhetoric used to describe actions happening in hong kong suggest a compromise between china and the the protest is even more unlikely china doesn't negotiate with terrorists so that's very optimistic from president trump the forces are there but it's more of a scare tactic at the moment china absolutely does not want to want to intervene in hong kong they don't want to put any boots on the ground the security forces being sent that would be sort of a last resort move so beijing is now continuing to to fund the efforts by the hong kong security forces and we'll do that for for as long as possible that remains the

key tactic from from beijing to allow the hong kong authorities with their full support to to try and control the protests. thousands of self koreans have held an anti japan a rally in the capital seoul it took place on the 74th anniversary of the end of japanese colonial rule and to japan protests have included renewed calls for an apology and compensation for 4 sex workers during the 2nd world war anger has been growing in south korea over the growing trade dispute between the 2 nations south korean president when joy and said he had gladly join hands if japan wants to resolve the dispute through talks. more on a dispute which is much about the past as the present. those songs about the brutality inflicted on what we called women. see what she's on as she listens to her own story and that's of the 10s of thousands of women forced to work in japanese military brothels during the 2nd world who this latest bronze statue has
