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 orange 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 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 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 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 able 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 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 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 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 let's get an update from homage i'm jim he's joining us from occupied is jerusalem and here just outside of damascus a good as missing an occupy the is jerusalem that under the plan would fall under israeli sovereignty what is the reaction this morning and what's the mood like. well so far in the mood here has been calm it's still quite early in the day not a lot of people are out yet people are just really starting to arrive and set up their shops inside the old city as you mentioned this part of occupied east jerusalem of the old city this part under mr trump's plan would fall under israeli sovereignty but the sites inside the old city the holy sites including the and some mosque compound which is known to jews as the temple mount that would still be under jordanian stewardship now i should mention there has been an update we're

hearing reports emerging in israeli media that the plan for mr netanyahu the prime minister here that his plan to bring the idea of an exciting israeli. settlements in the occupied west bank to a vote with his cabinet on sunday that it is not going to happen on sunday there are officials tied to the likud party that are being quoted in israeli media outlets saying that it's just not possible to get that going that quickly so unclear yet when exactly that would be put to a vote if that's a hiccup going forward when exactly that would happen now i would also like to bring in some of the reactions we're seeing in local newspapers this is the. palestinian newspaper the front page essentially one side of it talking about what trump outlined in his plan saying that it would be an undivided jerusalem as the capital of the israeli state and that a palestinian state would be conditional then on the other side there are remarks from palestinian president mahmoud abbas essentially rejecting the deal an article

that goes on to talk about all the reasons why that deal is unacceptable to mahmoud abbas and to the palestinian factions now also let's contrast that's what we're seeing in haaretz which is an israeli daily on this side of the front page trump unveils deal the prime minister and say yes palestinians in the right wing say no really showcasing kind of the bind that prime minister netanyahu is in because we've already heard from the defense minister here right wing leader. neftali who had said the bennett who had rejected this soon as it was released saying that it was a nonstarter to suggest that the palestinians would ever get a state and on this side of the front page it says that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was indicted after dropping his immunity bid and this is something that really was a striking contrast to what was going on in washington d.c. tomorrow as mr netanyahu was standing with mr trump announcing this proposal for peace you had essentially these indictments being brought against him and netanyahu

and that's something also that complicates the future and what's going forward in the plans mr and mr netanyahu is going to take go ahead and particularly on the issue of the indictments and that's on yahoo being indictments and mohammad's how much of a mandate do people there feel like he has over the next few weeks specifically before the upcoming israeli elections. well that's a big question and i think the fact that you've now seen that there are reports emerging that this vote that was going to be taken with by the cabinet on sunday is now potentially going to be pushed back this this might be a harbinger of the difficulties the mr netanyahu has he is the head of a caretaker government sunday would have been one month to the day before the next round of the israeli parliamentary elections so this is a really crucial period for mr netanyahu and it's clear that he would like to get this annexation done before the election so that he can tell his constituents that he got it done and that he should remain the leader of israel but does he have

a mandate that's what's really unclear right now and we were seeing different members of different parties saying they agree or they disagree on the fact that natalee bennett is said soon as the peace plan was released that he would reject it it shows that mr netanyahu is going to be having a really hard time with the right wing here in israel as far as far as going forward so that's one thing but then also another complication is what is the palestinian response going to be we know that palestinian leaders have said that it was a nonstarter before and that they've rejected this deal before that they reject it now but are there going to be protests is there going to be potentially any violence going forward there are protests that are being called for by palestinian factions to take place in the jordan valley today and other parts of the occupied west bank but it's unclear how many palestinians will show up there's a real sense of fatigue amongst palestinian communities here as far and also a growing distrust in palestinian government leaders and we spoke to 11 person who

used to be a problem terry and it was promised in the parliament just a short while ago and he said it's really unclear right now things are very fraught it's unclear what the palestinian people are going to do how they're going to react to this and if there is going to be a huge amount of protests in the days and weeks and months to come ok we'll leave it there mohammad john john thanks for that update from occupied east jerusalem. hundreds of foreigners have been evacuated from the chinese city at the center of the coronavirus outbreak and the plane carrying 200. 6 japanese citizens arrived in tokyo from on wednesday well the number of people infected in china has jumped to nearly 6000 and that's in fact more than during the sars outbreak well over 130 have died. let's bring in wayne hay who's joining us from hong kong to 1st talk us through some of the measures that are being put in place as well as the evacuations that you've been hearing all slain. yes daryn certainly those numbers continuing to rise sets an alarming rate from mainland china the

president of china xi jinping speaking on tuesday calling this demon virus that they will overcome so far it seems they are struggling to do so we still have this remarkable situation of some 60000000 people in mainland china under lockdown in particular of course in a province which is where this outbreak originated the latest measure being announced by the government in beijing is that some 6000 extra medical personnel will be sent to who bay province because as you can understand the facilities the medical staff and the hospitals in that area simply struggling to cope with the sheer number of cases but there is a problem in that there is a shortage of medical supplies in particular the protective white suits that those medical personnel need to wear when that treating the infected patients so without that equipment without those suits in particular many of those extra staff simply

can't travel to the affected areas also we have seeing foreign governments swing into action trying to get some of their citizens out of the capital of that province the americans were the 1st to do so japan followed suit lifting around 200 of its citizens back to the capital tokyo and according to reports at least 4 of those passengers were taken immediately to hospital in to because they complained of flu like symptoms so we expect more to follow in the coming hours and days the next possibly will be australia and new zealand the australian prime minister scott morrison saying those 2 countries are going to between. we cooperate to get their citizens or at least some of them out of the city and day according to scott morrison will be taken into a 14 day quarantine on christmas island in the indian ocean and those stricter border controls that have been implemented in hong kong where you are

a partial close or a some people are describing it's a these measures been welcomed. well i think for the most part yes the government here has been coming under a lot of pressure and still is from people saying that they need to get tougher they need to introduce strict emacs's to try to control the outbreak of the virus in hong kong the spread all but so far only 8 confirmed cases in hong kong and many people have been asking the government to close the border crossings between hong kong and the mainland. indefinitely they haven't done that but they have announced as you say stricter measures so as of midnight tonight so in about 9 hours from now all train services between the 2 areas will be suspended the people you have just seen walking behind me will be some of the last to arrive here in hong kong from mainland china at this train station and also deposited to the mainland because as i say those train services will be suspended indefinitely ferry service is of the

same but they will still be some bus routes that will remain open and some travel options still that will remain open so yes those missions measures are being welcomes but there is also a sense that it is come way too late and it isn't enough also just briefly some interesting news that is being greeted with some level of excitement out of the hong kong university research is this saying that they have developed a vaccine for this particular corona virus but it is in the very early stages they are undergoing right now animal testing all of this vaccine and then they will need to be clinical trials they say on humans which will take another year so we're talking still a long way off before this vaccine could be introduced if indeed it does prove to be successful in that testing phase ok got it when he's thank you for bringing that update for us from hong kong. now what could be a major turning points in donald trump's impeachment trial the u.s. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has privately told republicans that he no

longer has the votes to block witnesses democrats accuse the president of abusing his power by asking ukraine to interfere in the upcoming u.s. election heightism castro has more 3 days of arguments for president trump's acquittal can be summarized as it is 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 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 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 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'd 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 it 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 still had an al-jazeera media outlets in india are accused of being biased in their coverage off a controversial citizenship wall. how i would got some odd weather pushing into western parts of year pay for the next couple of days that means cloud and it means ryan added increasing wind you can see how tightly packed. across the british isles pushing into where france gang of weather systems pushing through that will introduce the rain and it is some snow some slushy conditions there just around the out some wintry weather to
