we may people whose lives were devastated by a volcanic eruption in the philippines. us president donald trump has revealed his plan to end the israeli palestinian conflict with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu standing beside him but palestinian national authority president mahmoud abbas says it won't work and will be thrown into history's job which it's billed as a 2 state solution but under it this road with immediately. is of the occupied west bank and the jordan valley while the palestinian state and the comes into existence after 4 years and only if israel feels its security concerns have been met that in yahoo says israel's cabinet will be to formalize that annexation as soon as sunday president trump announced that the u.s. will support those moves trump also said jerusalem would remain israel's capital the palestinian state would have its capital in parts of the east as opposed to

east jerusalem and white house correspondent 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 done this is an extraordinary voyage trumpets 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 the arabic name for jerusalem with the united states would open an embassy but in a contradictory statement trump declared jerusalem is. capitol where u.s. embassy already exists under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's

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 israel to defend itself. 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 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 questioner 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 dollar 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 should be 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 what abbas says the plan won't work and will be thrown into history's job as they did abraham as more from the occupied west. oh . 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 time is a gift from a big thief to a small thief. the plan didn't come as a surprise to palestinian leaders meeting in. the next. 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 he out of the 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 will stay ours with all its churches lacks a mosque and all the sacred sites. 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 the stamp of approval for. now that. the occupied west bank. joins us now live from the occupied east jerusalem bombing we've heard the rejection of the political level we've heard the rejection from the palestinian street as well but are you picking up anything there this just they may be some negotiating room e they may be something that could be salvaged. stan in short when you speak

to palestinians here the answer is that this is a complete nonstarter the answer is that the palestinians gave their response to this from day one when it was announced back in 2017 that this plan was being worked on and that it's only gotten worse since now let's go over just a couple of points that are in donald trump's plan one of them being that israeli settlements in the occupied west bank which are considered illegal under international law 'd that they've now been greenlit by the top of ministration to be recognized as sovereign israeli land and to that end we've been told by prime minister benjamin netanyahu is off is that he plans to take that as you to a vote in his cabinet meeting on sunday now what happens beyond that really is anybody's guess certainly i would believe that that is something that has the potential to really cause more tension here as far as what happened sunday and beyond and how quickly minutes and yahoo and its allies actually would try to annex those lands in the occupied west bank those settlements going forward it's just not

clear how fast that can happen it will become more clear in the coming days beyond that also let's talk about where we are right now we're outside of damascus gate and here in the old city now this this area this would fall under mr trump's plan this would fall under israeli sovereignty the holy sites there including the mosque compound which is known as the temple mount by jews that that would remain under jordanian stewardship but also that is going to be a big bone of contention now president trump had said in his presentation of the plan that anybody with peaceful motives worshippers would be able to access these holy sites he was talking about muslims as well but what exactly is the threshold of of those who are only seeking peace and having access so there are a lot of questions going forward as to who exactly would be able to access these sites that are so sacred in islam and other religion. as well now another big

question looming is how much of a mandate exactly does prime minister netanyahu have he is the steward of a caretaker government right now when he is planning to put the issue of an exceeding those settlements to a vote with his cabinet on sunday that's going to be one month to the day prior of the next israeli parliamentary elections we've already heard from right wing leaders here including the tally bennett that the idea of any palestinian state going forward that that is an absolute nonstarter and that's not something they would agree to so how much leverage does netanyahu have how much is he going to be able to accomplish in this time going forward before elections all of this very much remains to be seen stan thank you bob agenda of live from jerusalem. where china has agreed to a lady an expert from the world health organization 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 is a pos 130 with the of the 6000 did faked it australia has just announced it will

ports to the media instead of a partial shutdown piers or even howie i think the government announced these measures too late since there is already an outbreak of the corona virus in the city the ports should have been shut down earlier there's a run on facemasks in some pharmacies their prices risen almost 30 percent in 4 days there is uncertainty over how quickly the virus is spreading here and uncertainty as well over how many people from the worst infected areas have made it here. adrian brown al jazeera hong kong still ahead on al-jazeera lawyers for the u.s. president finished their opening arguments in his impeachment trial rejecting calls for a key adviser to give evidence and we visit the front lines of libya's civil war as forces allied to the tripoli government try to repel that offensive by all the words belief i have to.

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

a lot about how australia needs to adapt and to mitigate for way essentially described as inevitable climate change hotter drier summers are going to cause more fires in the future he said and climate action in his words was about mitigation and tasting to the inevitable he talked less about addressing climate change when he did he said that australia was doing its best it was meeting its commitments under the paris accords for example it was bringing down its emissions but what he was very reluctant to address with the coal exports particularly that australia sense of the rest of the world which of course don't put australia's emissions but do put up emissions elsewhere huawei is to have a limited role in the development of the 5 g. network the us has called on britain to exclude the chinese text from the project because of concerns over security that in baba 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
