so so there we go who would. know or yeah i do know for less than the actual real estate be i was there we in when the word woman the whole goods. on the hilltop overlooking sawan is i'm on a street built close to the spot where the disciple judas iscariot is believed to have killed himself judas betrayed jesus for 30 pieces of silver and treachery still looks in the valley. mohamed admits that for several years he conspired against his fellow palestinians he says israeli police coerced him into helping the settlers grab property in silwan they ran a simple scam 1st find a victim then make problems for him mother used to operate as a go between

a con man who tricked bribed and smooth talk palestinians into parting with their property i'm sure mama shore now or. some far enough senate served recordable or grass or. arm she live according to shift at harbor so the offer to reassemble her after all of the member of the sherman or of the being able to what it was. that moral sure more mom figure out under a scam. on the road again with the settler king another man trying to separate palestinians from their homes but he insists that he's working within the law. oh i forgot.

you're a very few franken from the co arms from the bible. explaining. why young children. well believing they're living in the land belong to the jewish nation and we are also telling them that if the problem of them got through them but the person we are arguing over and we can follow our national problem the way to do it is by. finding their work in other places over the world. the teachers are understandably angry are a king is inciting palestinians to leave their homeland a kind of ethnic cleansing different with of the what's going on. back in i'll stand people are increasingly worried about israel's plans to demolish their homes and turn the neighborhood into a public park the municipality has sent envoys into the valley offering the

palestinians alternative lands on the outskirts of jerusalem if they agree to leave their homes the people of stun said no. she decides to take their grievances to the city hall. the planning committee is in session these are the people who make decisions that affect the lives of thousands of palestinians living in the east of the city. the new mare of jerusalem told al jazeera all committee meetings are open to the public and anyone can ask a question we decide to put his offer to the test the. we would like to ask a question we would like a resident of jerusalem to be allowed to ask the question or go on to stir. the pot how did the ok. did you serve it you came to.

california. it seems that the mess decision hasn't filtered down to his councillors in the end the chairman of the committee invited us to continue the conversation in his office. and i gently. if syria and. their whole movement of them a. lot of the lobby who i've been in let me with that they could come on let them so let's have a button and. button and sell at the shop but with nationality shop but. so we are the. result for. yourself it is going to. come and this and the under the old don't. let me we're doing it that they can own let them so let's have a. way so for share your. shake

or vision it up we stand in with the victim as overcome. that she should but if it blows. to the north of the old city settlers have also established a foothold in the palestinian neighborhood of shit show raw they say jews bought land here before israel's war of independence in 1948 although local palestinians disputes that claim of ownership the settlers have gradually taken over several buildings sholay with them no a local economy. there was alive you fail. you have a theft i mean the national journal reputable. in our ballot. now

the settlers have their eye on 2 more palestinian houses which they say were built on land belonging to jews the settlers have plans to build hundreds of apartments for jews on land where palestinian homes are standing now this land grab in chef shira has provoked an international outcry led by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton. what myth of cancun are doing she gave the pope think criminal. she thought both think people but a criminal valve quartering to our land our building on our land if you legal. not satisfied simply with a victim palestinians from areas close to the old city area king has decided to boldly go into new territory beyond israel's separation wall this is generally off limits for israelis but not for irene came. just off the kalandia.

checkpoint facing you know we know right now and. next day but we were caught in a car. and the last one would be for me to meet all of them our neighborhoods or. we will feel the end of the road the building that belongs that is built on our land right now we can see the people building the illegal building along with them to jews on the left he claims that this land has been in jewish hands for more than 70 years for all of this beautiful palace on my lawn and the police not coming here they want to pretty don't care about what's happening here and the when we are talking about legal buildings if you may be the best example because you have been the building it on jewish land and nobody is

taking care of the it is why i call the area the wide if behind on the moment this is. yeah this is on the other side of the wall is your mother's side of the old school student body this is the 5th part of it which shall i am exactly like where i live mount olive. and yet the hateful are going to cover the whole whether she did not commit. she actually let her. run of the walk over the top of october thought i had a miracle here for a while given the other how did. they do that. for you with. us about. this land has been fought over conquered and lost many times the greeks the romans

the muslims the crusaders just some of the armies who did battle here who owns jerusalem becomes a matter of historical interpretation. even in recent times the land surrounding the old city has passed through turkish british and jordanian hands the occupying power sometimes issued land ownership documents to people living there and this is where modern day israel applies double standards it often accepts documents from previous rulers when they're presented by jews but not when they're presented by arabs. and so ari a king will continue his mission to remove palestinians from jerusalem and erase their history replacing it with a purity jewish narrative. and chef who so will continue his battle to save his home and his heritage from the settlers and the city planning. we're on

and have a plan as is this far as how many jews or arabs living is when even if true that means one thing is about the defines a certain area as it was dental area it doesn't say whether it's going to be our houses or houses for jews this is up to the owner of the land to decide. we are holding on by our fingernails to the 2 state solution today it is still barely possible to reach out a political boundary and in jerusalem which will be both acceptable to the parties and viable after the agreement is reached we are very close to losing that if current trends continue for another 6 months new york or 2 years this all be lost. many powers have dreamt about jerusalem it is israel's dream to crown the city as its eternal undivided capital that dream is now close to becoming reality. the

government and the settlers swallowing up east jerusalem this is happening right under the nose of the international community yet hardly a voice is raised in protest. and that was holy land grab and i'm pleased to say joining us here in the studio as i would you know he spent several months in jerusalem recently making your film or 2 got film in fact for al-jazeera jerusalem a rock and a hard place so if we think about these 2 films what's the difference between them and what's changed in that time or what hasn't changed even as many palestinians and even israelis probably would tell you that the situation in the city of jerusalem occupied you some that is has only got worse the wall that started at that time is now almost complete jerusalem is separated from its nearby west bank strategic depth hinterland so to speak there are more more encroachment on the old

city in jerusalem and as i want to characters would would say it's almost game over for jerusalem but the main game over for many palestinians who i met through the making of this film they say our lives has become almost impossible in jerusalem you will find more and more you still might leaving the city to live in the suburbs of jerusalem and increasingly you will find less and less palestinians in the city which is what many of the israeli settlers going to. dream really and what often surprises me and which i was confronted with while i was in jerusalem is that the settlers ation is not something on the fringes of israeli politics it is the most powerful political movement in israel and not only that they have powerful friends in the united states you know yes certainly in many ways the palestinians are in a tight spot literally between a rock and a hard place saying saying is you mention it out we have got a clip from your film jerusalem a rock and a hard place that's have a look. this was a business for palestinians in jerusalem i remember when i was

a little kid i would come with my family this was the most expensive part of jerusalem it was an industrial zone. israel decides to build the wall that connects the street there used to be a street that connects with all of the french communities in east jerusalem they come they build their wall and they shut it and they say you are no longer have access to your neighbor you no longer have access to your school you no longer have access to your work. we came down from the neighborhood that i live in good infrastructure the new u.s. embassy and then you drive down the 1st thing you get is a police station a border police that kind of clarifies from this point on we need to be in control and then you drive through a person never heard that because there's a settlement here there's no men behind us then you see there's good infrastructure there's lights there's sidewalks and then the entrance of the settlement comes and just after it ends there's no sidewalk. neighborhood and you really see the

difference and the fact that nobody cares about the infrastructure from that point on because really it's about infrastructure for jewish population. so we see omar and so hard in that clip can you tell us a little bit more about them. the young christian palestinian from east jerusalem his family goes back to the 13th century so it's a man with roots for me and throughout the film you get to really go on this journey with who shows you that the israeli occupation doesn't really differentiate between a muslim and a christian it differentiates against all palestinian and the story of omar really and capture that and then we saw on the other side is an extreme the atypical israeli the vast majority of israelis from a young age 16 years old above served in the israeli army and in many ways and this is one of the issues we also touched on in the film although the israelis interact with palestinians almost on a daily level they don't would you know the palestinians they are very alienated

from them the only way they know them is from the other side of the gum where they are the checkpoint or on a patrol such let's talk about jerusalem the city rather than when you've been striving. to people they are the city itself when i think about recent history i think about donald trump's visits there the u.s. recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and moving its embassy there i think its embassy there. that has a huge effect on the city and we're talking about the united states having in effect a not even the israelis and the palestinians indeed from the fig leaves that used to surround the role of the united states has really fallen for many years the united states describe yourself as an honest broker but with trump he says it as it is and what was convoluted and packaged in nice words before in the clinton administration or the obama administration it's now out there so for the palestinians very demoralising and also of many arab countries many arab countries

believe that the united is the friend of the arab world but the people on the street the people you meet in jerusalem will tell you otherwise and i would you a great to have you with us thank you so much thank you thank you for joining us do be sure to check out the rewind page they were down to 0 dot com for more films from the series i'm come out santa maria for the whole team thanks for joining us this either. rewind returns with a new series. and dates on the best account is a documentary. it's not just reality rewind continues with the last tried secret army of the cia so it's fun to $75.00 believe in the same way that their ancestors did living in the forest in the jungle and it seems like they're abandoned by everybody on al-jazeera.

government and the weather to stage a protest. transitional council set to confirm the names which will leave the country's new democratic transition. the rainy an oil tanker held for 6 weeks off the coast of gibraltar has set sail no longer cold the grace left under its new name adrian. and as andrew simmons reports it's still unclear where the tanker is heading. yes. ankle lifted and underway at last in the darkness heading east into the mediterranean. a few hours before the departure supplies had been loaded on the adrian daria warm in the choppy waters

a specialist engineer had been winched up along with at least 5 new crew members the engineer was brought on board to attend to a technical issue planning to return to shore later nightfall on the swell of the sea is getting worse yet the technician has yet to return to the supertanker the ai asked systems that automatic identification systems are now showing the adrian da real war they to the technician had finished his work and returned to shore but who will end up with $140000000.00 worth of crude oil this is obviously going to be one of those tracks vessels over the next few days and therefore we have a very clear idea of where it goes and we have a very clear idea of any vessels that come alongside in order to try and ship. last thursday gibraltar the supremes court lifted the detention order on the ship after assurances from iran that it would not deliver its cargo of crude oil to syria complying with the european union sanctions on that country an attempt by the

united states to reimpose the detention under its own sanctions was dismissed by the court on sunday as the reflagged rename ship prepared to leave your proto announced it couldn't follow up on a subsequent u.s. district court warrant the detention of the ship and the full faith of her cargo. it was 6 weeks ago the super tanker was captured off the coast of this tiny british territory at the tip of the iberian peninsula it's overlooking the african coastline and it's the gateway to the mediterranean a british frigate docking here but destined for the strait of hormuz to take over escort duties serves as a reminder of the tension there it has escalated with the ongoing detention of a british flag tanker in peril this is the closing of one chapter of a crisis and the start of a new one that's now charting

a course andrew symonds al-jazeera off the coast of gibraltar. now the u.s. president says around $13000.00 u.s. troops will remain rather in afghanistan donald trump's announcement comes as ice all claimed responsibility for one of the deadliest attacks in the last 18 months in kabul it's also hailing progress in talks between the taliban and the afghan government. we're talking to afghanistan oh about the government and also talking to the taliban having very good discussions we'll see what happens we've really got it down to probably 13000 people and we'll be bringing it down a little bit more and there will decide whether or not we'll be staying longer and we have been very good discussions with the taliban who have a very good discussions with the afghan government i think it's very important that we continue intelligence there in all cases because it is somewhat of

a nest for him to get us and we have things under control very well with a small force we could probably make it a little bit smaller and then we'll decide it will depend on the taliban it will depend on the afghan government but there is a case to be made and the case also is that we're going to be leaving very significant intelligence behind for just the reasons i stated the families in afghanistan have begun burying those killed in saturday's attack eisel claimed responsibility for killing 63 people attending a wedding reception we must warn viewers you may find some of the pictures in this report from charlotte ballast to be disturbing. awaiting that a suicide bomber turned into a massacre these people are waiting to hear with their relatives and friends survived homocysteine might want to go i want to say that's the thing i'm here to find out about my son to find out if he's ok some people say that his neck is

injured some people say his hand is injured he's not answering his phone i don't know what to do. more than 1000 people at the waiting for a young couple from ask and shia muslim minority to his aura the marriage certificate had just been signed when i saw a suicide attacker wearing a vest packed with explosives dessen a ship in near the stage. muslim local sort of were dotted with. i was at the back of the waiting hole when suddenly a big explosion happened i fell down and when i stood up i saw titles and people scared on the ground the saying was all for my brother was injured most of my friends were killed i didn't know at that time what to do who should i help 1st in shock saki hasn't moved from the spot all night. at another hospital we found cerise 14 hours after the explosion he worked from his karma as we filmed he was the lead singer and keyboard player in the wedding band with us i mean the most

wonderful nobody was being opened up when you get big when we leave our home in the morning we don't know if we'll come back to life if we send our children to school we do not know their fate we don't trust any security even at a wedding this can happen i do not know if i'll be alive in an hour or not. so respond was made up of 7 family members his brothers and cousins they were on stage preparing to play during the wedding to win the ball when told it's a race is the only survivor. and this is what he would have place. at the wedding hall staff cleaned up they mopped the ground not the spilled drink but the spilled blood they lost colleagues too with dozens killed in nearly $200.00 injured this was the deadliest explosion in kabul in more than 18 months of the series family brought us to hill overlooking the city here is where the band's drummer mohamed haneef was buried just hours earlier on a mobile moccasins and going on was why should we be killed it's for nothing what

is our sin what have we done wrong we feed our children and i salute killing those without committing a crime we ask the government why they aren't stopping them. i still has claimed responsibility for the attack it often target shia minority in this neighborhood with elections just 6 weeks away president danny is under pressure and has called an emergency security meeting for the taliban also commented calling the attack barbaric to veteran and unjustifiable. well afghan leaders in the taliban lay blame children lay on their relatives graves too young to understand the forces that turned a day of joy into one of tragedy ballasts al-jazeera kabul. should come down is a former advisor to nato senior civilian representative in afghanistan he says the presence of the u.s. in afghanistan is important and their withdrawal will create

a vacuum. i think we are fully dependent on afghanistan in terms of finance as well as in terms of training as well as even air support for the u.s. and nato troops and of course there are more than 22 terrorist organization operating across the border between afghanistan and pakistan who are clear threat not only for that region but globally as well so i think if the u.s. troops withdraw from afghanistan not only financially their aid will reduce or even enter afghanistan but also there will be a huge vacuum in go up specifically in terms of fighting terrorism because the used to send afghanistan has 2 major task one is countering terrorism through special operations and unconventional troops and another is training advising and assisting the afghan national security forces so anywhere drop it will create a massive gap that gap will be filled by terrorist by insurgents and will try to back western society either to europe us or regionally as well unfortunately the

government is so corrupt the system in the government is such that people have impunity for example even for this major attack the kabul city itself was covered by the entire security sector in afghanistan because the president supposed to have a speech and there's supposed to be a celebration of $130.00 or independence of afghanistan so during the tightest security situation this suicide bomb bomb made it to blew up you know civilians and this is not the 1st or last event or attack there has been so many attacks and it's mainly because the government including the present himself is not an expert on security his national security adviser is a cartoon.
