and iran's revolutionary guards warn decisive action will be taken if the rest over fuel price rises goes on. and i'm lee a hearty man doha with all the day's sport of belgium make a little bit of history by winning the 1st match of the new look davis cup in madrid that and more later on in the program. the u.s. says it's abandoning its position on israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and will no longer consider them illegal sexual state. says the construction of civilian settlement is not inconsistent with international law. president has condemned the move has been welcomed by israel's prime minister and says it writes a historical wrong says he will leave the status of the west bank to the israelis and palestinians to negotiate. calling the establishing of civilian settlements

inconsistent with international law hasn't worked it hasn't invents the cause of peace the hard truth is there will never be a judicial resolution to the conflict in arguments about who is right and wrong as a matter of international law will not bring peace this is a complex political problem that can only be solved by negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians let's get more from washington so how significant a shift in policy is this. loren this is a very big deal if people thought that it was significant that the trumpet ministration under u.s. president donald trump had decided one to recognize jerusalem as the legitimate capital of israel which of course goes against the notion that its status needs to be negotiated between the palestinians and the israelis and if people were upset that the u.s. decided to move its embassy from tel aviv in the western part of israel to

jerusalem again in contravention of that city's legal status certainly this is a big game changer it basically is giving permission to the israeli government whether it's benjamin netanyahu or some other leader perhaps benny gantz who's in the middle of trying to form a new government the authority to was have a legal control of those communities in the occupied west bank in contravention of international law of the geneva convention of numerous u.n. security council resolutions which saying that that territory should be intended for a future palestinian homeland and that the actual legal status of any residents should be worked out between the israelis and the palestinians through negotiations this is essential to changing the terms on the ground according to palestinians although one thing that might pompei o the u.s. secretary of state kept saying during his remarks was that during the u.s.

as long going ongoing legal review this was simply a recognition of the facts on the ground that there are israeli citizens living and raising their families in the occupied west bank and that their homes should not be considered illegal just because of a u.s. state department ruling from 1978 and how does this all fit in with any attempts at reviving a peace initiative by the u.s. administration. you know lauren reporters kept raising that question because of course one of the 1st things that donald trump 20 came into office and 2017 was that his son in law jared cushion or ruby in charge of negotiating a peace negotiation between the palestinians and the israelis that would break the law and jam between the 2 peoples once and for all there have been numerous occasions of the white house suggesting that a peace deal was about to be revealed earlier in 2019 we saw cushion or go to

a funding conference as it were in the middle east where he basically talked about the need to raise money for economic and social projects to help the palestinian people but he did not at that time unveil exactly what would be the terms of the negotiation and what the issues would be that the israelis and the palestinians would actually tackle the question came up again during monday's announcement where pompei 0 took questions about this decision and even though there was the suggestion that doing this would further isolate the united states from other countries when it comes to the israeli palestinian issue instead he allowed that this might how somehow more space for the u.s. led done to go see a shift to actually take place and ferb the palestinians and the israelis to actually work out some sort of solution we should point out that he was asked were pointedly by

a reporter early in the question and answer session about whether this means that the 2 state solution solution is for all points dead and that we're now looking at a one state solution mr pompei o did not answer that question now we've had this vision for the past in president saying that the move contradict with international and on the other side we've had the israelis welcoming this decisions of perhaps that reaction is is you know the polarization reaction can be expected what about the international partners of the u.s. how will they see this is for the move which goes against what other people do on israeli settlements or believe in the israeli settlement. well the early reaction i have seen is from jordan which of course has signed its own peace treaty with israel but it is condemning not just the existence of those settlements but it is also saying that the change in u.s. policy is setting a very dangerous precedent and could lead to more instability in the region for the u.s. as part the embassy in jerusalem has put out a caution to u.s.

citizens and nationals in the country warning of potential disruption or violence because of this announcement whether inside israel proper in gaza or in the occupied west bank frozen in jordan thank you very much indeed yemen's who the rebels say they've seized 3 vessels in the red sea including a saudi ship saudi arabia had earlier accused them of hijacking a ship towing a south korean drilling rig hoofy official has told al-jazeera they will release the draining rig once they can confirm it belongs to south korea the saudi government is calling the incident a terrorist operation they say rebels have released a statement explaining why they seized the vessel my madonna tom has more details from santa. the whole fees revealed. on their t.v. . the circumstances of capturing and miscarrying. according to this

press release released that they have captured the 3 vessels one belongs to saudi arabia while the they have been giving more details about the other 2 according to sources. the other 2 believed to be belong to south korea it's an oil rig but the whole thesis during this press release haven't giving the identical more details about the other 2 they have mentioned that they have tried to contact the crow on board of the vessels but they haven't received any reply and that's why because they haven't given them any permission to go to go inside the yemeni region waters so they have to target them to the neighbors to yemeni cause line we have captured the 3 vessels. just 3 miles from the yemeni caused line near band island. city

a militant center of official houthi in a tweet he says that the staff on board of these vessels. will not be harmed and that the the receive any can frame a confirmation from south korea that this these visitors belong to them that they will carry out the legal procedures in order to release them failed icon is a part dry and global a maritime security risk management company he says this incident is a sign of why detentions in the region. we've seen over the last 6 months alone the power play the interchange between iran and saudi arabia and let's not forget that's exactly what this is about so no doubt there has been the proxy influence through the booties by iran on to saudi assets and really the target here is the saudi vessels the tug the sally battle that is saudi flagged and is likely to be

saudi crude so that's the real aim or target of of the of the capture as it were so what our reaction will this is exactly what we've been advising our clients for the last 6 months it is that saudi assets in particular are a specific threat form iranian backed was a proxy efforts against their own saudi assets in the areas particularly in the sudden red sea. and he's in hong kong have tightened their siege on a university campus that's become the center of a standoff between demonstrators and security forces protesters launched petrol bombs after hundreds were pushed back by water cannon and tear gas as they tried to make their way to the technical university they want to free young activists who've been holed up there for several days hundreds have tried to escape only to be met by rubber bullets and tear gas the city officials of appealed for the protesters to leave the campus and cooperate with police but many are refusing to be arrested

robert bride reports from hong kong. a number of streets in the cow loon district of hong kong turned into a riot zone other parts of cow loom brought to a standstill. protesters were called out in support of students besieged indian a bipolar technique university campus the idea was to stretch police resources to breaking point to take the pressure off the students still barricaded inside. after a fierce confrontation with police on sunday and early monday students who'd been occupying the campus and its surrounding roads for days took refuge in the main college but. during the day groups of protesters emerged from the building to be confronted by police and arrested their treatment sparking anger from some people living nearby you have to give chance to students.

how i basically said at the situation is more like these police have threatened to use live ammunition if the students continue to use potentially lethal weapons. most alarming. they did weapons were used in a 40 target university which has become a bit unfair treat despair as a refugee for extremely violent via just 50 bettman so far it has reached a critical level righteous. as for intention murder. at all costs for parents of the students the wait for news is particularly fraught or he mounting for i hope the government and police wake up thing and stop using violence so the kids came out safe and sound and come to find they're. adding to their anxiety explosions have been heard from inside the building setting off fires.

but as darkness fell some students were seen scaling down the campus building and disappearing into the night. their fellow protesters trying to cause diversionary mayhem on the surrounding streets coming under fire from tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon and the protesters have been gradually going to hurt the way forward with labor they can find most notably these large employers which is simply not so much full and there's more to can it open up. the besieged students represent to some the mob rule that is threatening the city's future for others especially younger protesters they've become a rallying point for further resistance robin bright al-jazeera hong kong. coming

. iran's revolutionary guards have warned anti-government protesters they will take quote decisive action if unrest over fuel prices doesn't end since friday people have been taking to the streets across iran to protest against the increase $150.00 people have been arrested and their arms state news agency says 6 people have died in the violence reports from tehran. 3 girls hooligans and thugs that's how rainy and authorities are describing these demonstrators who have come out for a 3rd day in a row. there are no rallies or marches instead petrol stations have been set on fire banks and even police stations attacked. the scenes are not taking place in the capital tehran but in other major cities including shiraz as fond masha. and now a security crackdown has been ordered to make sure they don't happen again. the intelligence

ministry the revolutionary guard and local police say they will be out in full force the violence started when the government announced a sudden 3 fold increase in fuel prices a decision which the president says was not made lightly the government says the revenues raised will be used to help the poor. we explored all avenues to try and help those in need we had 3 choices 1st to raise taxes across the country 2nd to increase the size of oil and 3rd to increase the price this fuel we need the revenue to help millions of people who are struggling it was not an easy choice to make the spike government reassurances that this fuel price increase one affect the price of other goods in the country many iranians are not helpful and almost not a member of a matter of course it will affect other prices the press of gasoline has always been important here are we supposed to make up the difference with a small subsidy from the government it was in the some people's livelihoods depend

on fuel and this will impact the lamps in the present fuel goes up it impacts the price of other things. the government defends its decision and maintains that those causing the disturbances are not part of what it considers to be the general public there's almost a government recognizes the people's right to protest but a protester is different from a rioter i think today's demonstrations are 80 percent less than yesterday and i. by tomorrow it will all be gone in the capital security forces were highly visible in certain parts of the city on monday aiming to prevent any further unrest it's not just the security forces that have been deployed across the country officials have also announced a complete internet blackout and as nearly 60000000000 iranians wait to receive their subsidies many are wondering if the disruptions will be worth its north as a bari al jazeera there on the talk more about this now with iranian analyst put can as a method for coming in just we heard there from from those debris that there's been

this into blackout have must be pretty difficult to really get a sense of what's going on there what what are your contacts been telling you it says it happened from such the evening when the violence really escalated. last i heard was a funk call from one of the poorer districts in soran and the person was telling me the reason they call him is because the internet is shut down and they wanted so made that witness at least 15 people who were shot at the rectory and taken to the hospital and they were saying the place is like a war zone and giving them is it your impression that this will continue than that people were determined enough to continue protesting the last day of never witnessed the frost and say we witnessed from the footage that was coming through until until saturday it seems to be really widespread even more widespread than 2 years ago and it seems that the people were a lot more serious and often you know in a lot of ways there were encouraged by the courage of the sisters in iraq and

certainly showing that for no reason you said we had protests before what do you think is different now what why was the trigger the trigger for these ones and why would without a made such a difference when i was there was the. hike in the petrol price which wasn't pre-announced and i think petrol prices some of the affects everyone this isn't just something and an issue for say dissidents or intellectuals who are students or any one sector effects everybody and you could. sand arguments about the it's really necessary to put the price of them in the run the government is running revenue sources they need the revenue and the iranians are using a lot of petrol so there is a sound economic arguments to put the price up but the thing is the trust between the people and the government is gone they were supposed to have free will certain free buses and free electricity at the beginning of the revolution they don't feel that they've benefited from any of the riches of the country because of the government's priorities in life and if they do get some basic bitch bitch actually few days ago the chance that they come with this big oil. reserve fund

which is described as the size of borrowing that people don't think they're going to gain any of that is that it's not going to go into the pockets because the government's priority is to spend on exports in the revolution so rather than standing on the people and in the meantime we had this statement from the revolution began to. take decisive action if the protests don't stop how surprised are you by the by the kind of level of repression has been against these protests that has been stronger than in the past similar to other reactions can see what other decisive action they can so i come in they shoot in directly at people more also they want to do they want to far more 'd rounds of people but it's hard for me to make a judgment at the moment or a prediction. how much longer the protests will go on now that's a difficult concept but inside iran is difficult but be interesting to see if the carries on till friday and whether the friday prayers will become the target for

the protests as a number can have an. understanding of the balance of forces are simple testers and the regime forces as a method to very much indeed for your not is like you. antigovernment protesters in southern iraq of blocked the roads leading to the country's main port the standoff and buzzers preventing employees and tankers from entering iraq relies heavily on imported food and the own cusser port receives grain vegetable oil and sugar shipments is the 2nd time it's been blocked since the purchase began in october the 1st closure cost the country more than $6000000000.00. in the capital baghdad protesters have forced the closure of iraq's central bank they were also by the bridge leading to the green zone the fortified area home to government buildings and embassies this is the largest wave of protests in iran in decades at least 320 people have been killed in the rest. police in georgia have fired tear gas and

of the top stories. the u.s. says it will no longer consider israeli settlements in the occupied west bank illegal pakistan's president has condemned the move but has been welcomed by israel's prime minister who says it right and historical wrong the e.u. says its position will not change. the rebels say they've seized in the red sea including a saudi ship saudi arabia accused in the hijacking a ship turning a south korean drilling rig. and dozens of protesters in hong kong are staged a daring escape from a besieged university shimmying down plastic ropes on motorbikes police have been

stopping activists from leaving the part of technical university after they occupied it for several days. let's get more now on our top story from harry force it to use in west jerusalem so that questions over the timing of this give us some of the reaction has been from where you will. well certainly benjamin netanyahu looks extremely happy with the timing of all this there are just 2 days left on his rival benny gantz his mandate to try to form a coalition government potentially talk of a unity government between netanyahu and dance but that is founded on various eric unsolvable differences between the 2 of them now this is something which very much strengthens his hand he said that is right historical wrong as you said and he says that it rejects the false claim that settlement activity is illegal and the opponents of this of this move by the united states are denying truth and history

and now if you think back to just before the last election in september the 2nd inconclusive election in a row netanyahu came out and announced that he would after the election given a victory given a mandate an x. the jordan valley a big tract of land about a 3rd of the land in the occupied west bank and that he was the man to do so because the united states would was in a position to try and endorse that there was no public indorsement though from the americans and that was seen as something of a change from the election in april when they publicly recognize the occupied golan heights as israeli territory so people are talking about the lack of a big electoral gift from the trump administration well it's come now and it's come at a time when netanyahu has been talking about the prospects of a minority government that he said dance was trying to form with the help from the outside of palestinian israeli members of the israeli parliament the knesset. being

saying all kinds of things about them that they want to destroy the country that they want to that they support hamas and that it would be like a victory for terrorists if they were able to support a minority government so this is an opportunity to drive of the wedge but. benny gantz any prospect of his coming in with the support of the palestinian israeli political parties very forces thank you very much or need to either him joins us now from ramallah in the occupied west bank to talk us through the reaction there we've heard from the p.l.o. executive committee member at hand and i'm sure we who said that while this decision might have not been surprising or remarks while they've not been they didn't come as a surprise but they were not less outrageous or horrific saying that they are a threat to humanity calling them fundamentalist and psionic policies we've also

heard from the palestinian president's spokesperson a bit of what they know who said that it's not up to the u.s. to legitimize settlements and to negate all articles of international law no we've also heard from the p.l.o. executive committee sorry the p.l.o. secretary general thought about it too saying that the u.s. is replacing the international law with the law of the jungle saying that it's now up to the international community to defend. its global security and stability in the region saying that these actions are a threat to regional peace and stability even thank you very much when we have a general of the palestinian national initiative joins us now from amman thanks very much indeed for being with us so michael bear when he announced it said that if century there were just recognizing a reality on the ground is there an element of truth to that side of this

announcement. no of course not because asylum is a crime what a violation of international law and you took the eyes it doesn't stop it being a crime in reality a mr going 3 years announcement is nothing but. international law actually makes the united states administration participant with israel in the violated international law in committing crimes against international law at the same time this announcement does not legalize the illegal activities this is the only legal settlements and that does not change our intentions with our determination to continue our fight and struggle to end all forms of racist settlement activities in the occupied palestinian territories so when one seems like an interrupt and when when he talked about to make an announcement and say he said it would give space for a proper proper political resolution and do you think he's absolutely wrong in that

order thinking there is some possibility that it can be now a negotiation. not at all and i mean there is no space for negotiations as long as racist apartheid governments exist in israel and these governments are destroying continuously the so-called 2 state solution and possibility of a palestinian state i think what pompeo has in mind like city dimon. is that israel would be able to annex the occupied territories and kill the possibility of the establishment of an independent palestinian state i think this is the israeli dream and this is what the american administration is supporting but they forget that we will never give up to. give up our struggle and we will never accept of these lives a system of apartheid and discrimination if they kill 2 state solution there will be only one option left which is one democratic state with equal rights for everybody we will never accept to legalize the illegal acts of israel even if they are supported by the united states administration saying we had reaction this

evening from the e.u. saying that it calls on israel to end all settlement activity and that it hasn't the e.u. hasn't changed its position on settlements and beyond what's happening with other reaction from other countries where do you take this to mean is there anything you can do about this or you just have to accept this is what the current u.s. administration's policy is and you you have to kind of live with it and i don't the statement of the opinion means will mean specific thing which is that the united states is not the one that decides what international law is about and e.u. is keeping its position which is good but it's not enough and my opinion this american declaration and the continuation of illegal activities by israel requires the stronger reaction to israeli policy and that means sanctions that means punitive acts israel cannot be allowed to continue to be allowed to be imputed to the international law and that's why the least that the european union can do now

is to balance it and products and to up. by by his addition of the high court in europe which decided that all settlement of that suit be marked clearly to those who are using them and in my opinion actions of punishment and sanctions in israel is the only thing that would stop this horrible drive towards a disaster most of a goatee thank you very much indeed for joining us here thank you sir but at least $24.00 soldiers have been killed in an ambush in mali 29 others are being treated for their injuries attack happened north of the city of cow it comes just 2 weeks after a raid on an army post killed 54 people. and he 7 civilians have been killed and 33 others have been injured by ass trikes in the libyan capital tripoli according to government sources drones targeted a factory in the south of the city and the victims are mostly from bangladesh went

up to the head has more. military sources with tripoli and backed the government of national accord say that the airstrikes which started did a factor in whether to be area in southern tripoli and killed a number of innocent civilians and wanted dozens of them strikes according to the government sources were launched by a drone loyal to the world lord khalifa haftar and many other sources say that this attack could constitute a war crime we know that the victims are just regular workers at the factory in where there will be area and they have nothing to do with the ongoing fighting that according to sources with the government of national accord medical sources say that most of the victims are from bangladesh others are from african countries

along with libyan victims in that were killed or wounded in such attacks we know that since the beginning of the fighting forces have been targeting good as eventually areas and civilian locations including get a make them detention center back in july the civilian operational airport in tripoli and also many other medical facilities including field hospitals ambulances and also medical teams we know that some of such attacks could constitute war crimes and have the us forces have been targeting that is eventually areas with heavy weapons and air strikes since the launch of the military campaign to seize tripoli back in april. 13 european embassies in libya have issued a joint statement calling for the immediate release of libyan m.p. see him sergei way so where was abducted from her home in the eastern city of

benghazi in july by masked men and her husband and son were badly beaten her family says she was kidnapped by forces loyal to libyan mort holly for have to after she criticized him during an interview with an egyptian television station a report by the un has detailed the staggering number of children held in detention all over the world more than 7000000 people under the age of 18 are in jails and police custody at least 29000 being held in northern syria and iraq mainly because of links to i saw fighters but it's the u.s. that has the world's highest rate of detained children including more than $100000.00 in custody because of illegal immigration the author of the un report has called the treatment inhumane of cause separating children as was done by the triumph it ministration. for their parents

even small children at the mexican us border. is absolutely prohibited by the comments and words of the child i would call it inhuman treatment footballs the parents and the children and there are still quite a number of children that are separated from their parents. and. needed the children know where the parents are now the parents know where their children are. nor is a vice president at the american immigration lawyers association he joins us from washington d.c. thanks for being with us so can you explain to us why the numbers in the u.s. are so high. i think it's really not important so much to focus on the numbers because even if one child is separated that's problematic if they don't have the justice and liberty they deserve so right now currently we have the numbers at around $5000.00 in refugee resettlement camps and another $1500.00 in these

sort of family unification centers that the tribe administration has sort of said to keep them lease together and even within the report it sort of talks about there being 3 captivity of 3500 for these so exactly not sure the methodology for getting the numbers so large but even with that contrast our numbers are still larger than the rest of the world so what measures if you taken to try to get those numbers reduced to help people who in that situation well part of it is the notification of congress and part of it is the importance of the u.n. sort of step in making a report of making it worldwide known what the issue is also it's important to know that the u.n. was i mean the american public and government wasn't part of this research we didn't give any information for this sort of study that happened it was sort of reporting done outside of the us official numbers but in terms of the court system what how do the courts handle people who don't people put in detention before they have to be charged and so in particular the case of children. absolutely so there

are tons of organizations that have sued the government with regard to this internal detention so that has already been sort of addressed and remains to be addressed repeatedly within the people within the united states that are being detained the other facilities are those individuals that are being kept captive in mexico and outside the united states so we're addressing that through political pressure and sort of on site the major problem is that a lot of attorneys are given access to these individuals at the time of their crisis or that they're in need until after they've already been released to their home country a lot of the study may actually talk about children who are detained in the united states and then separated from the family and then return to their home country without unifying them with the family that they were separated from here at the border and in general what kind of just reprehensible and in general what kind of conditions are they held in. so they're going to their other lawsuits with regard to the condition they're in squalor less than how we treat animals in the united states because they are kept on top of each other for these times long after they

should be released in addition once the children are taken away from their parents there's sort of a co-mingled between the different ages but meaning there are babies toddlers and young adults all in one facility which leaves the young adults to be prey of the officers and each other as well as young adults taking care of small children which of course leads to health problems and other concerns i don't know if thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us thank you. thank you. the libyans are facing food and fuel shortages supporters of the ousted president continue to block roads there the new interim government says it's created an average to the main city left us with military planes delivering supplies cement plans in other cities iran is resigned and fled to mexico after winning an election that many believe was rigged but he still has a lot of support in poor rural areas 10 years ago has more corrupt us. we're here not far away from the presidential palace morales supporters continue to protest
