the news and current of for that matter. al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm down in jordan is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes john bolton is out president from fires his national security adviser saying they disagreed on many issues. rocket fire cut short the israeli prime minister's campaign rally hours after he announced plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank. celebrations on the holy day of assured turned deadly in iraq ultra stampede kills of these 31. and

a warning about a looming humanitarian crisis in bikinis fast so the fighting us turn the lives of thousands of people upside down. welcome to the program one of the most powerful people in the white house is now out of a job national security adviser john bolton insists he resigned but u.s. president donald trump says he was fired because of disagreements over foreign policy bolton was known as a hawk but wanted the u.s. to take a hard line stance against countries like iran venezuela and north korea trump says a new adviser his 4th in 2 and a half years will be appointed next week ellen fisher has more now from washington d.c. you are going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate that there had been growing divisions between john bolton that his boss but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house donald trump tweeting i informed john bolton last. night that his services

are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration therefore i asked for his resignation which was given to me this morning bolton tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to set but an insistence he quit rather than being fired at a news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend stephen secretary of state might prompt defended the president's decision it's the president's intitled to the staff that he wants that at any moment is a staff person who works directly for the president and states and he should have people they trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree that's to be sure but that's true for lots of lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was donald trump started national security advisor the longest serving so far but with his stated positions of using military force in iran and north korea he was annoyed fit for a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u.s. military footprint reason only told him was against talking to north korea against

pulling u.s. troops out of syria and against the president's latest idea of inviting afghanistan's taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point we have seen from this and from every other firing but what he really wants are people that echo what he already wants to do and with bolton's opposition gone there could be obvious changes for example that there's a better chance the president will meet with his a really encounter part president made very clear is prepared to meet with no preconditions before he became president donald trump considered john bolton for the role of secretary of state but ultimately decided against it because he felt he didn't look the part mainly because of his mr bush now after 18 months as the national security advisor john bolton once again finds that his face doesn't fit alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house. when i spoke to brett bruin he served as director of global engagement in the white house during president obama's

administration he joins us live now via skype from toronto in canada britain president trump said he fired bolton bolton says that's not true he resigned either way he's out the door didn't bolton sucking come as a surprise. no this was predictable what i have to say though is that it is a reflection of the instability that continues to persist in trumps foreign policy we see this impulsiveness this escalate tory and then deescalate tory rhetoric it's very difficult for those within the american national security structure to adapt to his tweets and threats we know that bolton had many foreign policy differences with trump particularly over afghanistan russia iran just focus briefly brit through those differences because bolton wanted a much more hawkish approach to u.s. foreign policy he did and the president would joke in meetings that john bolton wanted to invade almost every country and on north korea for instance bolton was

on record quite outspoken in his opposition to kim jong un and to negotiations and then you take that through issues like iran and most recently afghanistan and clearly there is a sense from the president that this national security advisor is quite different in his approach as well as in his ideology ultimately that just wasn't tenable but what sort of differences then we like had to seen u.s. foreign policy now that bolton is gone i mean particularly of issues like iran where trump has indicated he'd be willing to meet iran in something that bolton would never countenance. yeah i would expect to see from the president an effort to open up a dialogue with iran using bolton's departure if you will as an excuse to say really bolton was the hawk i'm ready to talk and let's remember trump desperately

needs this deal things did not work out with afghanistan things haven't worked out with north korea he's heading into elections and he needs to show something that he's done on the world stage i'm not some interesting point you make their breath because i want to ask you it was john bolton a casualty of u.s. domestic politics because as you say he wanted a much harder line on afghanistan on iran whereas trump wants to get out of afghanistan he wants to get troops out of syria to appeal to his base for the 2020 election campaign so both in wasn't telling trump what trump wants to hear. he wasn't and i scherer that there is no one left in the situation room who is going to speak truth to trump might from fayose a significant someone who is really a yes man and this is what we have lost over the course of the last year in. defense secretary the former national security adviser general mcmaster going out and now with the loss of john bolton i'm no fan of john bolton but it least he was

more disciplined and he would i think control some of trump's worst tendencies thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera welcome israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has announced his intention to annex the jordan valley in the occupied west bank if he wins next week's general election he said the trumpet ministrations so-called middle east peace plan would provide an historic opportunity for extending israeli sovereignty over the west bank and other areas how the fool said as more from western. benjamin netanyahu has a habit of promising dramatic announcements in the run up to elections and he did so again on tuesday when it came it was not a unilateral decision about amec sation as some had predicted instead the message to right wing settler voters was a vote for netanyahu would in concert with the trumpet ministration mean extending israeli sovereignty to all illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and in the shorter term the annexation of the jordan valley yes. there is one place

where it's possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months of little diplomatic effort in this direction in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today i'm announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli sovereignty on the jordan valley and nor going to see. the jordan valley represent some 30 percent of the occupied west bank and some of its most fertile agricultural land israeli policy has long been that it needs to retain control there for national security but the prospect of a unilateral israeli annexation as netanyahu is promising would explode any faint remaining hopes of a viable palestinian state alongside israel giving palestinians and there's a small towns and villages as prisoners without any freedom that is a war crime and as about as we are about to enter the 74th session or the general

assembly of the united nations that the national community must stand now. to see a big and to stop the thing is that as a country about the laws of man at the united nations there was further condemnation such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving the goetia regional peace in the very essence of a 2 state solution but there is a hugely important caveat to all this to enact his plan now you know 1st has to win the election then create a right wing coalition government that would in dorset and then push it through in the face of international pressure and by then and intensifying battle against his own corruption charges israelis i've heard him talk annexation before without following through that's a point political opponents and political analysts were making even before netanyahu had finished talking this is electioneering at its best there is no connection between what the prime minister said today and what's going to happen after the election whether he's elected or not this is what i like to say is

israeli elections are very much like las vegas and hotels in las vegas what happens during israeli elections stays in israeli elections. later at another campaign event in southern israel netanyahu was briefly rushed from the stage sirens sounding the israeli military said rockets had been fired out of gaza a dramatic end to a day when whether he makes good on it or not he confirmed his position as one entirely at odds with a 2 state solution the concept that remains the international consensus on how the israeli palestinian conflict should end very force an al-jazeera west jerusalem well let's talk to marine rabbani he's a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies he joins us via skype from washington d.c. and we know that israel has occupied the west bank since 1967 but stopped short of annexation so why is netanyahu doing this now and how significant is this move do you think. i think there are 2 reasons for this the 1st is as as was suggested in the clip this is in the like simply get to the end of the sensitively say if you

want this you have to ensure that i am in the election for the next government but there is also i think another factor it goes beyond the elections which is that for netanyahu and his counterparts of is really right they see the upcoming period between the conclusion of the israeli parliament boxes next week and the american presidential elections next year as a golden opportunity to you know a lot of the determine many of these core issues of the israeli palestinian conflict and you see it as an opportunity that need not be repeated for many years if ever and therefore i say that regardless of the what's your rhetoric we're very likely to see steps taken to rexton during the coming year but that it will necessarily reflect that map that netanyahu showed us today but it could be again

on a smaller scale in other places all right so so if there an accession the happens more in how would it work i mean what boundary lines be drawn opposite the territory minimizing the arab population but increasing israeli expansion. well i think the operating principle for israel has always spent backs and amount of territory with a minimum about the arabs and therefore you will see them seeking to annex settlements seeking to an extent retore like the jordan valley which is practically already been ethnically close you know the past decade but not an exciting era our city and population centers a lot of jericho and the morton valley and elsewhere the key issue of course is how will the region and the world spawns because one could make the argument that these accident sation are in effect the laws it will cool the nation of 50 years of colonial expense in the west bank to which the international community and primarily that u.s.

europe turned a blind eye and never confronted is ok serious parts of its behavior yeah and you talk about the international response i mean israel has formal peace treaties with jordan with egypt so what happens to those treaties with a beer announcement how would they react given their relationships with the united states well it's a very good question because for see you do have formal peace treaties with israel if you look at jordan for example on the one hand keane's of conservatives if you listen sure of this both history of the united states but at the same time can't just simply turn a blind eye to its own population or suppress any opposition so it will be blocking a very fine line actually it will try to extremely bar not to renounce its peace treaty but it will try to say no serious to at least alleviate some popular rights to sue just just a final thought no and i mean the palestinians claim the whole of the west bank for

any future state does this mean then the 2 state solution in any peace deal is now dead in the water and one of the options now for the palestinians just briefly. well let's look at you know if you would like us to believe me and. all right bonnie thank you very much indeed for your time are not also to come on the news hour including an appeal for people in the bahamas to open up their homes to survivors of hurricane dorian. and sports fans and joy and historic night for their nationals the pulte. now in iraq at least 31 pilgrims have been killed at one of the most sacred sites in shia islam officials say about 100 others were injured when a walk by collapsed and triggered a stampede in karbala the government says the number of dead could rise as more.

deputies on monday. now a new detail transcript revealing the final moments of the saudi journalist is assassination has been released by a turkish newspaper he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul last october jamal a shell has moved almost a year since it shocked the world and the story of jamal official she's murder is still making headlines the newspaper one of turkey's biggest published details of conversations that took place between staff at the saudi consulate in istanbul and officials in the kingdom's royal court in riyadh they corroborate with a narrative that was presented by the united nations special reparatory investigating the murder of the slain journalist in the findings she published 3 months ago further evidence that's for sure is killing it was not simply a botched attempt by saudi agents to kidnap him but in fact a premeditated murder. according to the newspaper on september the 28th 4

days before her soldier was killed a security station to the consulates named ahmed that was a nice telephone matter to madrid and adviser at the royal courts of crown prince mohammed bin said i'm on. the security at tashi if you could visit to the consulates earlier that day will indeed return on october the 2nd yes we are all shocked we just spoke i said how are you there isn't anything official but it's known that he is one of the people salt later about saying they the saudi consul himself the hum of the law tavi spoke to another individual known only as a head of state security called me and they have an assignment they need a person from your protocol for a special and a top secret mission. shame oh gruber's is an editor of the english language additional she sees it's her and her colleagues duty to continue shedding light on the story until the entire truth is revealed at the u.n. reporter said that there are a bia has

a responsibility in this killing so the think we are seeing right now is. there was hard criminals are judging them sus so it's of course expected for us to not see anyone being convicted because it's basically a tear to her rather than a fair trial that's why i don't think that we'll see anyone that is truly being responsible for on this larger will be charge will be a comic that in times it was reported that crown prince mohammed bin some man was advised by president donald trump's son in law in chief advisor jurors christian or in the early days following the killing of jamal for children to weather the storm and that the story would die in a few months if not weeks almost one year or since she was killed in the consulates behind me on this story is still very much making headlines not least because there are several questions but have not been on sort of including where is the body of

the slain journalist and why you has nobody been convicted of his murder until and unless those questions are answered it is likely that this story will not be going no way. to stumble. a u.s. based committee to protect journalists is ranked the 10 most heavily censored countries eritrea tops the list as the worst for press freedom followed by north korea and turkmenistan researches say the media in those countries are simply mouthpieces of the state and independent journalism is only done from exile saudi arabia and china ranked 4th and 5th for jailing and harassing journalists and their families as well as monitoring and censoring social media and the internet the report says other countries in the list use tactics such as arbitrated tension as well as what's called sophisticated surveillance and targeted hacking to silence the press or courtney raj is an advocacy director with the committee to protect journalists she says the international community must put more pressure on these countries. we saw with the birder brutal murder of jamal his show journalist for

the washington post who was murdered in turkey with the ongoing imprisonment of more than a dozen journalists there are the real crackdown since mohammed bin solomon came into power along was she using ping in china both of which have you know these leaders have really perseid it over a massive crackdown on the press and yet they are regularly at summits with world leaders so we'd like to see those countries that do respect press freedom and allow the free flow of information to pressure those countries to do more we'd also like to see that those countries that receive for example development assistance or other sort of assistance you know let's try to get them to improve the environment on the ground it's we're not never going to see either good human rights outcomes good governance good development outcomes without the free flow of information so you know i think these countries need to realize that they can do more that they
