we have i felt this i'll just be around as teams on the ground say that they're against you. to play bluetooth documentaries and live news. this is al-jazeera. alarms the whole robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. you have been the greatest friend israel has ever had in the white house. donald trump and israel's prime minister congratulate each other on the new middle east plan under which israel will and its large parts of palestinian territories.

there were no palestinian leaders present at the white house and on the ground the plan is being met with anger and protests. also donald trump's legal team wraps up its defense that the president's impeachment trial as pressure grows on republicans to allow former national security adviser john bolton to testify. and hong kong's leader and out says drastic cuts to cross border travel with mainland china to stop the spread of the coronavirus. also a window for competition or a security goal the u.k. prime minister's one way decision that has him offside with the u.s. . hello welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has revealed his plan to end the israeli palestinian conflict with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu standing beside him it's

billed as a 2 state solution but 100 israel will immediately and its large parts of the occupied west bank the jordan valley while the palestinian state only comes into igs. distance after 4 years and only if israel feels its security concerns have been met that we are who says israel's cabinet will meet to formalize the annexation assume a sunday president trump announced that the u.s. will support those moves troubles so said that jerusalem would remain israel's capital the palestinian state would have its capital in parts of eastern as opposed to east jerusalem. or palestinian president mahmoud abbas calls transplant a conspiracy and says that no palestinian can accept a state without jerusalem as its capital but i'm not sure. that in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard the jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel

as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we heard this utter nonsense we say no no and a big no to the deal of the century. our white house correspondent kimberly health that has more. killing it is a deal to bring peace to israelis and prosperity for palestinians u.s. president donald trump presented his long awaited middle east proposal at the white house alongside israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu we have an obligation to humanity to get it this is an extraordinary trump is proposed a 4 year freeze on new jewish settlements on palestinian land the plan also proposes a tunnel connecting the west bank and gaza and a doubling of palestinian territory to include a capital in what it calls al could be arabic name for jerusalem with the united

states would open an embassy but in a contradictory statement trump declared jerusalem israel's capital where a u.s. embassy already exists under this vision jerusalem will remain. undivided very important undivided capital. sites holy to muslims christians and jews would also remain under israel's control these ancient lend should not be symbols of conflict but eternal symbols of peace and as expected trumps 80 page plan also calls for israeli sovereignty over the jordan valley that israel's prime minister argues is necessary for security israel must have sovereignty in places that an israel to defend itself barred. but absent from the white house announcement palestinian leaders discussions on

trucks middle east proposal broke down in 2017 following the move of the us embassy from tel aviv trump announced he sent a letter to palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas outlining a 4 year timeline for recognition and implementation of his plan president obama. us i want you to know that if you choose the path to peace america and many other countries will leave we will be there we will be there to help you in so many different ways and we will be there every step of the way i wanted to ask you about something but in an exclusive interview with al jazeera trump son in law jared cushier said what isn't helpful to the palestinians future is the palestinian authority would rather go in and complain as opposed to come to the table and negotiate which quite frankly shows that they're not ready to have a state if you're ready to have a state and you don't call for days of rage the white house says acknowledge the dire economic conditions of palestinians a new plan builds on

a previously announced $50000000000.00 economic proposal with additional grants and loans implemented over the next decade but only if reconciliation is achieved the timing of the white house plan announcement was overshadowed by president trump's impeachment trial in the u.s. senate still the plan is likely to be a key talking point in donald trump's reelection campaign can really help at al-jazeera the white house. well shortly after the announcement palestinians express their anger towards israel and the u.s. by protesting across the occupied west bank and in the gaza strip president of the palestinian national authority mahmoud abbas says the plan won't work would be thrown into history's garbage into abraham from the occupied west bank. as soon as the announcement of the middle east plan came from washington palestinian protesters took to the streets of the occupied west bank and gaza to

reject. they say the united states has adopted the israeli position in. many are angry not just with the u.s. but the arab states which publicly supported the deal trusts ration to that's how much israel's prime minister could gain and. i think that this speech came to gather support for benjamin netanyahu to help him pass his internal crisis it's also part of the election campaign for donald trump in the upcoming u.s. election it is nothing more than an election campaign for both of them. this time is a gift from a big thief to a small thief. the plan didn't come as a surprise to palestinian leaders meeting him. when i'm not. in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard the jerusalem is the undivided

capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we heard this utter nonsense we say no no and a big no to the deal of the century in gaza that sentiment appears to have resoundingly support that you know this is our land and this is our capital we will not accept any alternative we will not accept any part of it jerusalem is palestine and we don't care about trump jerusalem. limits churches and mosques a mosque and all the sacred sites. tell donald trump and the submit destruction that we reject this plan the plan of shame that has nothing to offer palestinians a peace plan between the palestinians and israelis was drafted without any palestinian input and was announced in washington without their presence some officials here are calling it the stamp of approval for effort tied into.

the occupied west bank. well the timing of the middle east plan just before a 3rd israeli election in less than a year was seen as a boost for benyamin netanyahu campaign but its effects could start being felt in the occupied west bank well ahead of the march the 2nd poll are a force that explains. the days benjamin netanyahu had been talking up the prospects of a historic opportunity for israel with a plan unveiled he spelled out what that opportunity was for an accession thanks to you mr president these areas and so many others that for millenia have been searched in the soul of the jewish people and in far the imaginations of millions of people around the world and across the world these areas will now be recognized by the united states as a permanent part of the jewish state. the places in question israeli

settlements in the occupied west bank considered illegal under international law for so long seen as a major obstacle to peace now greenlit by the trumpet ministration to be recognized as sovereign israeli land the us invasion palestinian state would be strung between and around those israeli zones connected by tunnels bridges and highways the prime minister's office confirmed that settlement annexation would be put to a cabinet vote this coming sunday a month to the day before israel's latest parliamentary election in his campaign netanyahu will also be able to point to another declaration that under the plan jerusalem would be israel's undivided capital and ideas seemingly in tension with president trump's insistence that he was also doing something for the palestinians on jerusalem this map will more than double the palestinian territory and provide a palestinian capital in eastern jerusalem where america will proudly open an embassy but with the release of the full text came the answer only neighborhoods

outside the israeli wall cut off from the city proper. would constitute such a palestinian capital the old city would fall under israeli sovereignty its holy sites including the mosque compound known to jews as the temple mount remaining under jordanian stewardship israel will work closely with a wonderful person a wonderful man the king of jordan to ensure that the status quo of the temple mount is preserved and strong measures are taken to ensure that all muslims who wish to visit peacefully and pray at the. last will be able to do this if it is really right wing the deal wasn't good enough defense minister naftali bennett committing to ensure that israel never recognized a palestinian state in any form for all benjamin netanyahu as triumphant celebration in washington it's worth noting that here in jerusalem it was the same day that he gave up on his bid for parliamentary immunity in 3 separate corruption cases the same day the charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust were lodged in

court starting the countdown is criminal trial the party of netanyahu his main political rival benny gantz welcomed the plan as the basis for talks but said that it required a stable government headed by someone not under indictment over corruption thank you for now both netanyahu remains in charge of a caretaker government and he's not waiting for the election to start acting on trump's green light how it will sit out his era western. well let's move on to other news now where china has agreed to let in experts from the world health organization in order to help increase understanding of the corona virus outbreak chinese president xi jinping has told the visiting w.h.o. chief that he's confident of defeating what he described as a devil virus the death toll has surpassed 130 with nearly 6000 people infected let's cross over to weigh in hey who is our correspondent in hong kong and following events for us the government's really swing into action wayne i mean

what's more is being done certainly on the ground in china. yes hell those numbers certainly continuing to rise it's an alarming rate more than $130.00 confirmed fatalities now from the corona virus in mainland china as you mentioned we heard from the chinese president xi jinping labeling this a demon virus and vowing that they will over comments at the moment it seems they are struggling to do so those simply because of the sheer number of cases we still have this remarkable situation of some 60000000 people under lockdown including of course in who bay province where this outbreak originated the government saying that they are going to send some 6000 medical personnel to that area to try to increase efforts to contain the outbreak but the problem is according to reports that there simply isn't enough medical equipment in particular the white protective

suits that these medical personnel the doctors and nurses need to wear out when they are treating patients so because of that some of those $6000.00 extra personnel simply can't travel to that area foreign governments beginning to take action now the united states were the 1st to evacuate more than $200.00 of its citizens from the capital of a province the japanese have done something similar as well and according to comments from the australian prime minister scott morrison australia and new zealand may well follow suit so certainly we could see more action taken from foreign governments in the coming hours and days indeed there does seem there are strict border controls being introduced certainly where you are in hong kong how it's not being received. well i think for the most part it will be welcomed by people in hong kong the government here has been coming under increasing pressure to get tougher on this to take stricter measures to try

to protect the people of hong kong from this outbreak so far we have 8 confirmed cases in hong kong all of coronavirus in fact many people here have been calling for the borders between hong kong and mainland china to be shut completely indefinitely the government hasn't done that but certainly it has announced through chief executive kerry lam strict control so as of midnight thursday we will see the suspension of out rail and ferry services between hong kong and mainland china they will be a reduction in air and bus transport services as well and from the mainland side they're going to suspend the process of giving out visas to individuals to travel from mainland china to hong kong so certainly it will be welcomed but i think the real question is will it be enough to stop the criticism of the government that it hasn't done enough that it's been too slow to respond and i think the answer to

that is no most people will feel that it is too little too late and doesn't go far enough wolf thanks very much william hague for us in hong kong. there's a. way it will have a limited role in the development of the united kingdom's 5 gene network the u.s. called on britain to exclude the chinese tech firm from the project because of security fears the team barbara reports from london. it's a yes but one with caviar as the u.k. government approved chinese firm huawei providing infrastructure for the promised 5 g. rollout they were at pains to stress there was no security risk defying warnings from the us a key member of the so-called 5 eyes intelligence alliance we looked at the issue of how to maintain network security and resilience over many months and in great technical detail. we would never take decisions that threaten our national security or the security of our 5 eyes partners who are we itself says it's reassured by the

long delay decision we have supplied a cutting edge technology to operators that yorkie for more than 15 years. we will build on this strong tracker our cold supporting our customers as they invest their 5 g. network the chinese firm as a so-called high risk vendor will be banned from quote core functions like data stations it will be excluded from sensitive geographic locations such as nuclear sites and military bases and it won't be allowed to own more than 35 percent of the infrastructure in any 5 g. networks periphery including radio masts but senior members of boris johnson's conservative party are still worried and their fears are shared by the opposition let us be no doubt 5 key infrastructure from china is not safe under chinese law every chinese company is mandated to give whatever help it is asked to give to the chinese intelligence services and in secret that

a lot of should have been enough for the prime minister to decide against allowing this company access critics of who are ways involvement say chinese hackers could access internet connected things such as self driving cars as a backdoor into strategically vital networks allowing them for example to disrupt power stations a complicating factor here in britain is that many providers already rely on while way technology and they'd warned that seeking alternatives would be expensive they're a must like these installed by huawei across the u.k. the company is deeply involved in existing 4 g. infrastructure so a total ban would have meant removing lots of technology bringing higher costs and delays to the 5 g. rollout. the u.s. government has said in no uncertain terms that it doesn't want quote way involved in 5 g. threatening to review intelligence sharing with the u.k. if it happens with secretary of state mike pump coming to london on wednesday that

. castro has. 3 days of arguments for president trump's acquittal can be summarized as exists trump didn't do what democrats accuse his lawyers say but even if he did he should not be removed from office the bar for impeachment cannot be set this low danger danger danger trumps lawyers downplayed recent revelations from john bolton the former national security adviser who reportedly writes in his upcoming book that trump withheld security aid to ukraine in order to get investigations into democrats including joe biden responding to an unpublished. manuscript that maybe some reporters have an idea of maybe what it says and that's what i mean that's what the evidence if you want to call that evidence i don't know what you called it i call it inadmissible but democrats want to call bolton to testify who hasn't done so yet

under the president's orders but says he will appear if subpoenaed their whole argument is diversion. if you don't believe the newspaper report called the witnesses democrats must convince at least 4 republicans to go along with that idea senator mitt romney a moderate republican says he'll be one i like to hear from john bolton and i think the idea that's been expressed in the media about having each side be able to choose a witness or maybe more than what west witness paired basis has some merit republicans want to call joe biden and his son hunter to testify trump accuses them of being involved in ukrainian corruption the basis for wanting their investigation in new jersey enthusiasm for trump's innocence was on display as supporters camped out for days to attend his campaign rally polls show about half of americans believe trump should remain in office and half want him gone. castro al-jazeera washington.

likely to lead to the conviction of the president but it may shape where the witnesses appear before the trial pushback from mccaskey could give the democrats the votes they need to subpoena former national security adviser john bolton either way macao ski romney and collins could play important roles in their storage days ahead i gather carol desire anchorage alaska. people forced from their homes by their up to the volcano in the philippines this month are slowly returning home after restrictions were lifted more than $400000.00 were displaced many now face the daunting task of rebuilding their homes and their livelihoods. of course. province. we're thinking we're doesn't know where to begin has been separated from establishes that the algal cain built streets team and lava near his community 2 weeks ago. he's returned to the town of a good scene where he's gone fishing to get enough food to get him through the next

i've. put the back you're watching al-jazeera is news hour with me so rob a reminder of our top story donald trump has unveiled his plan to end the israeli palestinian conflict with benjamin netanyahu by his side the so-called 2 state solution will immediately alexander is of the occupied west bank as the jerusalem as israel's capital palestinians have rejected the proposal. china has agreed to let in experts from the world health organization to help increase understanding of the corona virus outbreak the death toll of the past 100 with more than 5900 fact it across the country. and lawyers for president trump also finished their opening

arguments against his impeachment democrats charged trump with abuse of power for asking you trying to interfere in the upcoming u.s. elections but are calling for with the system to be allowed to testify. let's get more now on our top story president trance announcement of his long awaited middle east peace plan and the reaction to it jason green blatt was an advisor to donald trump on israel and a key figure in negotiating the plan he told my colleague barbara sara it's in palestine's interest to accept it. this plan has a point it is to give the next generation a better future you say that the west bank and gaza don't want it i don't agree with that i've sat in i've sat and taken input from so many palestinians and i know that while there are many challenges to get this extraordinary complex conflict result and i know that on many pages they will be very upset as israelis will be about the many significant compromises that are necessary in order to implement

this plan i also know that it provides tremendous promise for then they could create out of this plan something as prosperous and thriving as the israelis have managed to create under threat of war and terrorism for decades i suppose on paper at least this plan does present a kind of 2 state solution now the reality of it is that because of the details that's where the devil always is it doesn't really give them the option so i wonder whether you think that this will also shifted the focus as a 2 state solution becomes ever more difficult because of expanding settlements do you think it will shift the focus in israel itself between 2 state to now citizenship or israelis will be faced with the question of either they have a democracy and they gave everyone a vote or they can no longer really have a majority jewish state which they have now because it is all one state and the number of palestinians within the west bank is no longer makes that majority jewish well that would be up to the israeli and the palestinians what this does provide is

a realistic 2 state solution palestinian leadership has been asking for a state for a long time this provides them with the conditions on the path to get that state if they choose not to take advantage of it i think what will happen is israel will continue to thrive and to prosper and palestinians will fall further and further behind that will be tragic for the palestinian people but i do think that the question you raise is an interesting one and it's an important one but i also think that both sides would prefer to have their own state and i hope that the power. timea leadership takes this tremendous opportunity to work towards their own state has this plan and using this plan as a basis for that when you say you have on a final point when you say that israel will thrive and prosper i mean as well as an exceeding the legal settlements in the west bank do you foresee even further settlement expansion in the west bank i think the plan is clear that israel is going to set aside if there is an article designated here and

a plan is not accepted meaning in 4 years from now no meaning now because the palestinians haven't accepted the plan so as far as they're concerned there is no plan well but israel i believe is going to accept the halting activity within the areas designated for the palestinians we have given the palestinians 4 years to absorb the plan and hopefully to change their minds lead their people to a brighter future 4 years is a long time for that to happen that's why i think this plan is not only bold and courageous it's quite historic let's move this forward with coeditor of a jug which is an online magazine specializing in contemporary middle east he joins me now from rockville in neverland good to have you with us on the program i mean the palestinian legislature very clear not much really to talk about with the u.s. or israel but all their backs up against the wall in the long term if the rest of the international community doesn't bring the u.s. and israel to book over their plans circumventing international un resolutions and

laws. very much so that i think it would be a tragic mistake if the palestinians wait for either the arab states or for the international community to take the lead on this this concerns 1st and foremost the palestinians and i think a key reason why this initiative was able to come about as a result of palestinian weakness and division and fragmentation and their inability to develop an effective strategy to counter either continued israeli expansion or. u.s. effort or for the last several years and previous administrations to fundamentally transform the basis on which the israeli palestinian conflict would be resolved so the policies have their backs are very much to their to the wall and their immediate priority should be national reconciliation unification and the element of

an effective strategy against this extremely extensional threat so therefore the international community would say most point to the palestinians so your own backyard 1st before you come to us to look at us as a partner in peace that can confront the u.s. and israel in any further negotiations how are they going to do that. well i think it's should also be understood that short of this american administration palestine is also a wedge issue in the sense that they're also using it to seek to fund fundamentally transform the international system international norms international law and the rest of it and so you know countering this attempt to basically shred incher national law and the international consensus and international institutions in order to impose unilaterally a settlement of this conflict which is simply based on the right of mind is also

very much in the interest of the international community is all. to ensure that israel the united states are unable to act with total impunity rather the point i was making is that if the palestinians do not take the lead and are not effective in taking the lead it's very unlikely that for example the european union or the arab states or whoever is going to serve as a as an effective counter to what is going to be happening on the ground in the coming years of course much will also depend on what happens in the remainder of this year and will trump for example be reelected that could be of fundamental importance as well indeed whether benjamin netanyahu whether he actually manages to regain the premiership or ends up in jail who knows what might happen in the coming weeks in terms of what we've heard in the past few hours over this new plan and the history behind the palestinian cause and the drive and the need for statehood

where do you see this issue of the 2 state solution is it really just dead and buried or can also be resurrected given the right impetus. well i would for is a question somewhat differently because in the our view oslo it was never about a 2 state solution rather it was about reformulating the mechanisms of israel or the control over the palestinians and i think there's something to be said of seeing this trump initiative as in many ways a logical culmination of all that has passed during the oslo period so i do see elements of continuity here and i think it's a little unfair to say that the trumpet ministration has simply completely reverse the united states traditionally united states policy towards israeli palestinian conflict. the key issue here has always been occupation and an end to

occupation and this initiative i should add like a number of previous american initiatives to resolve this conflict proposed statehood within the context of continued control and occupation and a key question is not whether or not there's going to be a 2 state settlement but what kind of 2 state settlement you have is it going to be based on the international consensus is it going to be based on an end to occupation and genuine palestinian self-determination or is it going to be simply a mechanism to prolong and make permanent israeli control over the occupied territories and over the palestinian people and the tribe initiative i think very much falls in the latter category so that the key issue that will remain what is going to be done about the occupation and how can palestinians successfully mobilize their own people. their allies the region and the international community

to end the occupation well said me so much to unpick from what's been said in the past few hours i'm sure we'll be doing the turf throughout the day here on al-jazeera rabbani thanks so much for joining us from rockville in maryland thank you. when israel was created 72 years ago 750000 palestinians were forced to flee their homes for jordan syria and even lebanon but of those who still dream of their ancestral homes but under trumps the refugees right of return will be refused sara has more from beirut. ahmed al capone was born in palestine in 1942 he now lives in a refugee camp in the lebanese capital with his children and grandchildren he's been displaced twice but remembers the smells sights and sounds of his hometown and it still pains him that in his old age he'll never be allowed to go home. well i'm

going to be are we didn't. we couldn't go home. what can i say. no words can describe it here live every day getting live the border just to get close to my palestine but. we believe in ourselves as a nation this compass come a long way from being made up of just tents but it's now overcrowded with thousands of palestinian refugees crammed with in one square kilometer daily life is harsh rubbish collects electric wires are a hazard and there's poor sanitation unable to gain lebanese citizenship hundreds of thousands of registered palestinians are still denied basic social and economic rights as a result they can't work certain jobs and their children can't go to public schools thousands of palestinians born in this camp have never even seen their homes and

a dream of a right of return or even having a states of their own seems to be fading fast with this middle east plan but one thing the refugees say is that they will never give up for generations of palestinian refugees live here thousands more turned up a few years ago fleeing the war in syria while the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees provides aid it's still not enough many to space palestinians don't support the u.s. president's middle east plan and say they've been forgotten. for. my grandchildren come ahead government. palestine is the heart of the. and a memory problem everything in my life is palestinian and i am proud but no one is
