the way for china as it tries to defeat a virus that's getting deadly up by the day. lawyers for the u.s. president finished their opening arguments and he seemed pinched for trial rejecting calls for a kid bizer to give evidence. 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 under it israel with immediately and as of the occupied west bank and the jordan valley while the palestinian state and he comes into existence after 4 years and only if israel feels its security concerns have been made that in yahoo says israel's cabinet will meet to formalize the annexation is soon the sunday president trump announced that the u.s.

will support those moves trumpet. also said jerusalem would remain israel's capital the palestinian state would have its capital in parts of easton as opposed to east jerusalem. correspondent it 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 trunk declared jerusalem israel's capital where 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 does 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 able to defend itself bargain. 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. televisa 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 abbas i want you to know that if you choose the path to peace america and many other countries will we 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 will 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 about the good of us says the plan won't work and will be thrown into history's job which they did bring him as more 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 it they say the united states has adopted the israeli position in

full 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 plan is a gift from a big thief to a small thief. the plan didn't come as a surprise to palestinian leaders meeting and. what 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 residing

support that the i don't know what this is our land and this is our capital we will not accept any alternative we will not accept any part of it jerusalem as palestine capital and we don't care about trump jerusalem will stay with all its churches mosques and all the sacred sites and. we tell donald trump and as of ministration 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 best that of approval for. in. the occupied left greg bowen rabbani is coeditor of john lear which is an online magazine specializing in the contemporary middle east he says the plan is not completely at odds with past u.s. policy on the is via the palestinian issue 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 reversed the united states traditional united states policy towards israeli palestinian conflict the key issue here has always been occupation and 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 the key question is not whether or not there is 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 truth initiative i think very much falls in the latter category so that the key issue that will 'd remain what is going to be done about the occupation and how can palestinians successfully mobilize their own people. there our as the region and the international community to end the occupation. china has agreed to lydian experts from the world health organization in order to help increasing understanding of the corona virus outbreak chinese president being has told the visiting w.i. joint chief that he's confident of defeating what he described as a devil virus the whole of the supposed 136000 infected australia has just announced it will help some citizens leave china province and quarantine them

on christmas island why and why is monitoring developments from hong kong we still have this remarkable situation of some 60000000 people under lockdown including of course and who have a 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 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 so certainly we could see more action taken from foreign governments in the coming hours and days. protests are taking place in australia's capital as prime minister scott morrison delivers the start of the state of the year's speech now demonstrators are calling for a change to a strike is reliance on call and fossil fuels morrison says he will not shut down the strikers coal sector despite large bush fires burning around the south of tampa with smoke covering parts of the capital. the only thing that matters is the cumulative impact of all countries emissions he will also not reduce the number of qualified past actions in the world to die by forcing the shut down of australian calm winds or destroying jobs that go with them other countries will just buy the cull from somewhere else often poor quality with greater environmental and climate impacts. thomas has more on scott morrison speech from canberra. this was his

chance to reset the dog essential and lay out his priorities for the year and the response to the fires was front and center of his speech and he talked a lot about how australia needs to adapt and to mitigate fall away essentially described as inevitable climate change drier summers are going to cause more fires in the future he said and climate action in his words was about mitigation taishan to the inevitable he talked less about addressing climate change and when he did he said that australia was doing its best it was meeting its commitments under the paris accord for example it was bringing down its emissions but what he was very reluctant to address with the coal exports particularly the australia sense of the rest of the world which of course don't put australia's emissions but do put up emissions elsewhere still ahead on al-jazeera why a remote states senator could play an outsized role in president trump's impeachment trial and we visit the front lines of libya's civil war as forces

but even if he did he should not be removed from office the bar for impeachment cannot be said 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'm 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 haven'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. alaska's republican senator lisa murkowski has said she may at some point vote to allow a witness to this testimony she says she's committed to delivering impartial justice

and has a tons diverse from her colleagues and a delicate reports from anchorage. with only 3 electoral college votes alaska doesn't wield the kind of political power seen in other parts of the u.s. . the state senior senator lisa murkowski though could play a pivotal role in president trump's impeachment trial she's already expressed dissatisfaction with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's declaration i'm not sure that hill run the impeachment process in total coordination with the white house before previously she's broken party lines on the appointments of supremes court justice brett kavanaugh and disagreed with republicans on reforming health care on impeachment she remains a potential problem for the republicans. that. i am viewed as one who looks openly and critically at every issue in front of me rather than acting as

a reference then from my party or my president i'm totally good with that. political strategist jim lotz felt whose work with mccaskey in previous years says the senate is likely to tread a delicate line she does not want to become a pariah among republicans and so all of this goes to a very complicated bouncing act to do the right thing but the same time not alienate all her colleagues the impeachment of president trump is perhaps the most parties and in u.s. history both parties remain divided with little chance dissenting voices will make a difference even if senator murkowski breaks ranks with their own party it's not 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 mccaskey romney and collins could play important roles in this storage days
