a key talking point in donald trump's reelection campaign kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house let's get reaction from a dumb june is joining us from occupied east jerusalem a mahommedan you know when it comes to jerusalem it's really a red line for the palestinians and under this proposed plan jerusalem would fall right under israeli sovereignty so what is the reaction you're hearing this morning from occupied east jerusalem. if any what we've heard really echoes what we heard yesterday from palestinians yesterday the leadership came out of all the factions with a very unified voice in rejecting wholeheartedly rejecting mr trump and mr netanyahu offer of a deal going forward saying that this was a nonstarter that they had not accepted this back in 2017 they certainly weren't going to accept it now and they went on to say on numerous occasions yesterday that this was really a deal only that would benefit israel going forward now i want to bring in i guess that we have here today he's
11:06 am
a resident of i try to use to slim his name is ahmed when he's with me right now and i might add let me ask you as a palestinian living here what were your thoughts when you saw that press conference yesterday between u.s. president donald trump and israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu. in fact. as i was watching that announcement yesterday it actually brings a lot of frustration and a lot of anger to put this thing in minds and hearts to. the siding from the united states of america to with this i would ignore it while ignoring the palestinian demands the palestinian. outlook for what we think our state should look like and what the borders should be it's like the present time but nothing you know actually proposing to the palestinians that's what you have we're going to annex but so the jordan valley east jerusalem bus if it is season under the sun supplements and that's what you've got to get to leave it's office while as i said to go out and guiltily to the palestinian. needs of demands he
11:07 am
had there been calls from palestinian officials to mobilize to get people out in the streets opposing these plans but many of the palestinians that i've spoken with have said that there's just a real sense of not just fatigue amongst the palestinian population but also a growing distrust in palestinian leadership what are your thoughts on that. i mean. in the for the singers have been under occupation so for the last 53 years we have all of these seen what the thumb the looks like even before they do the century was announced i mean we have seen done extension of jerusalem by its own since those i look evasion stuff if you have seen siding from the state of the american government. and i think all of you to solemnize the cup for the visit and 3 years ago so it's not i mean what does the deal of the century in the evenings i mean it's not new news for me and likewise for the lot of other palestinians it's
11:08 am
like we kind of for the you know what this is is this if it the good sense of as i said been under occupation for about a long time that and i don't think believe evil of taking this deal seriously i mean i had expected the time deal to say all done and meant to say you know it was in the immediate effect of actually have this to the full year so it's like giving the present 4 years to decide and we don't really know is going to have enough to fully so it's actually giving a buffeting to the palestinians and i don't think that action is actually going to be good it's all right i want to we appreciate you being with us thank you so much for your time today thanks again so that even as there you have it more reaction to this plan from u.s. president donald trump and one thing to add it had been announced yesterday by the prime minister's office in israel that prime minister benjamin netanyahu was going to on sunday to try to get his cabinet it's a very good on an exciting israeli settlements in the occupied west bank what we're now hearing more and more from israeli officials in the israeli media outlets that
11:09 am
that is not going to happen on sunday we don't yet know exactly what the delay i right there is such a delay or what that will or if that will prove more difficult going forward but as of now we've been told that potentially the earliest that that vote might happen would be on tuesday ok thank you very much. hundreds of foreigners have been evacuated from the chinese city at the center of the corona virus outbreak a plane carrying 206 japanese nationals arrived in tokyo from holland on wednesday and those with fever were immediately taken to hospital in the past hour british airways has announced it is suspending all its flights to and from china as a result of the outbreak in china has cut access to han and other cities where the virus has left 132 people dead and 6000 infected wayne hayes in hong kong with more on how or forty's are trying to contain the outbreak. the president of china xi jinping speaking on tuesday calling this
11:10 am
a 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 a province because as you can understand the facilities the medical staff and the hospitals in that area are 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 they're 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 are seeing foreign governments

11:13 am
civilians over there daryn but i have to say on the fanatic side it is a critical time because a yes changing hands of m. 4 and 5 highways was kind of unwillingly acceptable for all sides but what is going to do it what is the syrian government going to do next this is what is important for turkey for russia syria and iran because if the syrian government continues its advancement towards to the north it means there are going to be a more people more civilian stuck by the turkish border are they going to attack it lips at the center as they have attacked martha norman and other places these are the questions that have to be raised because in terms of diplomacy that is the says totally a violation of our son and such agrement so yes if they took his defense ministry had an announcement when a syrian government an ounce that they were inside what it said no man took his

11:22 am
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 for sure that he'll run the impeachment process in total coordination with the white house 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 rubber stamp for my party or my president i'm totally good with that. political strategist jim lotz felt who's work with mccaskey in previous years says the senate
