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 a. trump as 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 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

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 something large aired 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 kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house let's bring in mohammed he's joining us from occupied east jerusalem and you know how much it's being framed this whole plan as a basis for negotiations that we've already seen netanyahu perhaps trying to implement some of what's in the plan without expected cabinet votes on on an exciting settlements in the occupied west bank at some point next week what are we to make of that. yeah i mean you're absolutely right that and that's something we keep hearing from the palestinians we've been speaking with today here in occupied east jerusalem they don't see what was presented yesterday as being a pathway forward for negotiation they see it as being an edict and they've said to us today the ones we've spoken with that look it was clear that the palestinians had rejected this when they 1st heard about it in 2017 and yesterday when the plan

was presented their reaction was a very swift no and they say that's not going to change so they don't believe there's any pathway forward now for negotiation to the point as far as the prime minister trying to present this plan of an exciting israeli settlements in the occupied west bank we have heard yesterday from the prime minister's office that he planned to do this right away that he was going to do this at his cabinet meeting on sunday well today there are reports emerging and israeli media quoting likud officials and they are saying that that is just too quick it cannot happen on sundays unclear why it can't happen on sunday what exactly the cause of the delay is some people are saying it's a technical issue others are saying he just can't move this quickly and that calls into question how much of a mandate exactly prime minister benjamin netanyahu actually has because we're a little over a month away from the next parliamentary elections of course prime minister netanyahu has used this proposed peace plan as

a way to tell his constituents that he is the person to vote for to keep things going to keep things secure in israel the but another thing to watch is going to be in the days to come the palestinian reaction obviously all factions across the political the palestinian political spectrum have said no to this proposal they've said it before they said it again yesterday they're going to be more meetings between palestinian faction leaders and in the coming days in fact palestinian president mahmoud abbas had asked for an extraordinary meeting of the arab league to take place in the coming days as well so we'll see what comes out of that but more immediate is what is going to happen with promised him. are they actually going to mobilize are they going to heed the calls of palestinian officials who have asked for palestinians in places like the occupied west bank in the jordan valley to come out on mass to protest this proposal you know there's a lot of discontent amongst palestinians with the palestinian leadership there's a growing distrust of palestinian political leaders so far the protests that we've

seen that happened last night they've been relatively small a much smaller in scale than some people had anticipated there have been calls today for palestinians to make their way to the jordan valley in the occupied west bank it's unclear how many exactly are on route we're just going to see how that was going to have to see how that develops but that's really going to be a barometer as far as how this goes forward clearly prime minister israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to move to annex these israeli settlements in the occupied west bank as soon as possible and he's gotten the green light from the trumpet ministration to do so what is the palestinian reaction going to be are things going to get volatile in the days ahead right now it's wait and see but so far today here in occupied east jerusalem what we've observed the mood has been calm and most of the palestinians that we've been speaking with say look really there was nothing new that they heard in that plan yesterday they don't believe that the u.s. is working for their benefit and many of them don't believe that palestinian leaders are doing much to help them out either how do you thank you for that update

from occupied east jerusalem 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 rouhani on wednesday and those with fever were immediately taken to hospital but us airways has announced it's suspending all its flights to and from china with immediate effect as a result of the outbreak china has cut access to han and other cities where the virus has left 132 people dead and 6000 infected when he is in hong kong with more on how authorities are trying to contain the outbreak. the president of china she jinping speaking on tuesday calling this 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 who bay 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 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 the hospital into here because they

complained of flu like symptoms. now the pentagon says 50 u.s. troops in iraq have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries after the iranian missile strikes earlier this month on the military facility where they were based the u.s. originally announced nobody had been hurt in the strikes that were in retaliation for the u.s. assassination of the top iranian commander. but last week the pentagon said 34 people had been injured and that some were still receiving ongoing treatment. syrian government forces have recaptured the key rebel held city of moderates in the province the city lies on an important highway connecting damascus and aleppo president bashar assad's government and its allies have bombarded the area for months and tens of thousands of people have fled this fighting intensified since december estimated 350000 people have been displaced in kosovo with the

implications that could have on the region. for the last couple of days we are receiving footage as videos from inside it lip that because of this influx there is there is too much traffic inside the center of course people believe that turkish border side is much safer that's why they are moving up to do north on the diplomatic side it is a critical time because a yes changing hands off and 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 its advancement towards to the north it means there are going to be a more people more civilians stuck by the turkish border are they going to attack

if lips at the center as they have affect monitor nomen and other places these are the questions that have to be raised because in terms of diplomacy that is this is totally a violation of our son and such a grim and so yesterday turkish defense ministry had an announcement when a syrian government an ounce that they were inside water to no man they took his defense minister said if turkey's 13 observation posts and if those military observation posts are in then gerena ways turkey is going to retaliate so it is a question that needs an answer right now is it going to go that far will turkey and syria come across each other so hard on al-jazeera public the leaders say they don't have the votes to prevent witnesses being called to donald trump's impeachment trial the media outlets in india are jews of being biased in their coverage of a controversial citizenship law. we've

got the usual splattering of showers across southeast asia malaysia seeing the heaviest of those showers over the next day or 2 some are just seeing some lovely downpours that's also the situation across a good parts of borneo wattle 2 showers more sunshine than showers for the philippines and that's also the case there across a good part of india china although you may just see want to see warm she'll show us just sliding their way towards that central and eastern side of vietnam over the next day or so here we go with the heaviest showers stance towards the southernmost parts of the region across malaysia into indonesia turning up with a very wet weather that we have across australia northern parts of australia in particular still seeing some massive downpours the flooding rains still tumbling through we have got that wet weather around the cape york peninsula this area of

i'm an algorithm on a just a you know. the. logo in the headlines on al-jazeera the sour israel's prime minister is on his way to moscow to brief lot of boots on a proposal to end the palestinian israeli conflict benjamin netanyahu wants to annex large parts of palestinian territory in line with the plan put forward by the us president. hundreds of japanese have been evacuated from the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in china nearly 6000 people have been infected by the virus in china while over 130 have died british airways has also announced that

suspending flights to the country. syrian government forces have recaptured the q rebel held city of moderates and dominant in the province the city lies on an important highway connecting damascus and aleppo. so plan for the middle east and when israel was created 72 years ago 750000 palestinians were forced to flee their homes for jordan syria and lebanon many of those who were forcibly exiled still dream of returning to their ancestral homes but under trump's plan the refugees right of return will be refused so hire out reports from favorites. i made it all kind 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 hire him. well of

them and i mean we didn't. we couldn't go. back what can i say. no words can describe it really 3 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 or has it 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 the rights 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. my grandchildren come ahead of me. palestine is the heart of the. and. everything in my life is palestinian and i am proud of you but no one is

looking after us. these children only hear stories from their elders about their homeland a place seemingly castree their families know only too well they're stuck in this camp stateless for the foreseeable future sort of al-jazeera. in what could be a major turning point in donald trump's impeachment trial the u.s. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has privately told republicans 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 i do so castro has more 3 days of arguments for president trump's acquittal can be summarized as if this 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 call 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'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 was 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 peru's opposition leader has been sentenced to up to assisting months and person while she's investigated for corruption kinko figure more is facing allegations that she accepted more than a $1000000.00 from a brazilian construction firm during her 2011 presidential election tom payne this

biggest danger from all sides it's indiscriminate it's difficult because in wars you can't predict what will happen. this medical facility in nearby. is the only community health care center for 100 kilometers the administrator said have to fight is ransacked the place and salt ambulances and all the equipment it only adds to the misery and increases the anger. in the lot of us this young wounded fighter has lost comrades he is calling have a dog he like many others may find reconciliation difficult when peace eventually comes but many are growing weary of fighting near worked for the local police in a ceasefire we are all libyans and we want to stop the bloodshed but if these old man announces every day that he wants to take them all and kill more living and young man then we will continue to fight until our last man it's

a wild rugged land where little grows but so much blood is being spilled to control it even though there is a notional cease fire in place no one yet are required to think why dad but what has happened here and in the sporadic attacks in tripoli shows just how volatile the situation still is and how quickly car can turn to bloodshed tony burke out of there abu ghraib east of misrata one person has been killed by security forces in the latest anti-government protests in guinea. the west african country has been hit by rolling protest since mid october over concerns president afrikander will see the 1st term in office about 20 people have died since the protests down climate protests are taking place in australia's capital as prime minister scott morrison delivers his start of the year speech demonstrators are calling for a change to australia's reliance on call and fossil fuels force and says he will not shut down the call sector despite large burst fires burning around canberra.

the only thing that matters is the cumulative impact of all countries emissions you will also not reduce the number of coal fired power stations in the world to die by forcing the shutdown of australian calm winds or destroying jobs that go with them other countries will just buy the cull from somewhere else often poorer quality with greater environmental and climate impacts tens of thousands of people have protested against india's controversial citizenship law since it was proposed last month but within india and some media outlets are being accused of pro-government bias in their coverage of the demonstrations over her reports from delhi. a reporter for a hindi language news channel one from students at a press conference protesting against a proposed b. hike in a top new delhi university. 2 days later the channel's editor in chief and reporters

are filmed weaving sots in support of her when she says critics say that's just one example of how some news channels in india have been critical of protestors and hesitant to challenge the government during recent protests in india. for more than a month hundreds of thousands of people across the country have been protesting against the new citizenship law which many say discriminates against muslims. the views of the editor in chief of sedation news channel match those of the government whether on protesters fighting fee hikes all those opposing the new law. but he insists he is an independent journalist who supports the new law. though hindustan see in india and protests that are going on they are supporting muslims of pakistan and bangladesh they warn muslims of pakistan afghanistan and bangladesh to come to india all the don't warn the hindu storm these countries to come to india because

that's what the lawsuits. they were but critics in how the founding editor of all news a fact checking website says many news networks are shielding their pro-government bias. accuses the government of controlling the narrative whether it is controlling what i would eyes means to get by controlling that the diocese or there's also a pro government can in in the journalism. in terms of media organizations and that is also how they control the narrative as far as you know what information goes on . news laundry of website that publishes news and media critique says coverage of the protests has by far been in favor of the government there are several who are muted and will not hit the government like one expects news to and those who would really go at the government i would say they are from. none would

have gone for them straight along even one during the protests journalists have been physically hit heckled and trolled but as the split in the media it seems it's of us who stand to lose out. al-jazeera new delhi. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera this hour israel's prime minister is on his way to moscow to brief lattimer woodson on a proposal to end the palestinian israeli conflict benjamin netanyahu wants to annex large parts of palestinian territory in line with a plan put forward by the us president how much of joe has more from occupied east jerusalem another thing to watch is going to be in the days to come the palestinian reaction obviously all factions across the political the palestinian political spectrum have said no to this proposal they've said it before they said it again
