the plan which will see the annexation of more palestinian land. plus turning travelers away china widens its exclusion zone near the epicenter of the coronavirus as foreign visitors are evacuated and sports alexander's vera reaches his 1st grand slam semifinal the german with plenty of support of the australian open after pledging to donate all his winnings to push for a release. of palestinian leaders have rejected the us president's plan for peace as one that would be simply thrown into history's garbage donald trump's proposal to end the palestinian israeli conflict sides with israel and many of the contentious issues protests have broken out in the occupied west bank but they've been small with many palestinians saying they weren't surprised by the plan israel's prime minister on

his way to moscow to brief the russian president benjamin netanyahu hopes his cabinet will approve the annexation of the jordan valley and all israeli settlements on occupied land as soon as possible or those settlements are considered illegal under international law and despite that reaction across the arab world has been somewhat muted. i wote white house correspondent kimberly halkett now begins a coverage. 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 tel aviv trump announced he sent a letter to palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas outlining a 4 year timeline. the 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 all right let's go to correspondent need to abraham who is in ramallah in the occupied west bank and not many surprises that as far as the palestinians a concern but a fairly swift and unambiguous response coming from ramallah. yes and protesters have taking to the streets in many different cities including in

the jordan valley we've seen dozens have protested there despite the israeli army is attempts to pretend to prevent them from doing so the israeli army has closed off all the roads or most of the roads leading to the jordan valley so that prevented some of the people who wanted to go there to voice their dejection however the event still continued there and clashes have erupted with the israeli army also in different areas in the west bank including in bethlehem and we've seen some clear clashes in the settlement medical sources have told us that around 41 palestinians have been in jail 3 of them have been hospitalized so there is a lot of tension in the ground not necessarily that reflected in forms of protests the posting in president has talked about this yesterday talked about this

rejection saying that no palestinian can accept such a plan. well i'm not sure. that 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 nonsense we say no no and a big no to the deal of the century. so not just jerusalem also we're talking about the illegal israeli settlements that have been always considered illegal under international law we've heard president trump yesterday's interfering to them and saying that no israelis or palestinians will be asked to be uprooted from their homes so this is something that palestinians are looking at they're saying that we've been continuously talking about it warning the international community that

the that israel is creating facts on the ground and then a peace deal is coming to tell the palestinians well listen these are this is the reality you should listen to it and accept the peace the and so this is one of the main things that palestinians have been angry about also that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that the issue of refugees should be dealt away from the state of israel this is something that palestinians have been talking about for years the united nations security council resolutions calling for refugees to come back to their lands they were evicted or they had to leave from during the wars with israel so we're talking about a lot of who are issues that palestinians have been saying for years they would not accept any deal the full sword to meeting or i need a thank you for that new day bring that abraham there live in ramallah let's now go to harry forsett our correspondent who's in west jerusalem and harry the general

consensus of opinion certainly on the palestinian side is that this middle east proposal from donald trump sides with israel on all of the contentious issues between israel and the palestinians. yes and i think that's why there has been such celebrates free welcoming of it by the israeli government you saw benjamin netanyahu in washington yesterday he had been repeatedly talking about this being a historic opportunity for the state of israel called it a fantastic deal one interesting thing to note though is that his immediate pledge communicated through the prime minister's office to the israeli media in the aftermath of that announcement that he would bring this to an israeli cabinet vote on sunday and start implementing israeli sovereignty in the settlements and in the jordan valley immediately that has now gone away it started to be walked back in

the small hours of the morning israeli time and by this morning there was an interview with a minister saying that for technical reasons it wasn't going to be approved this sunday there was still needing to work on the documentation seek an opinion from the attorney general given the fact that this is a transitional government not one with a full functioning mandate after 2 inconclusive elections also distinct in the gerrard question when he was asked about this during the course of a c.n.n. interview yesterday tuesday he expressed surprise and thought that it was unlikely that israel would immediately start the annexation process so potentially there is a u.s. hand here as well staying the immediate execution of this deal so hairy given that benjamin netanyahu has basically had his wish list fulfilled and how does it based his electability in the forthcoming election as you say the 3rd in less than a year. well it's obvious that he very much wants to

use this as part of his election campaign he withdrew on the same day as the announcement of his immunity request from the israeli parliament because it was pretty clear one that that wasn't going to be approved he didn't have the numbers and 2 that he didn't really want a and ugly battle over immunity of his 3 corruption cases to distract from what he as i say kept calling a historic opportunity and so it is something that he can and will doubtless point to to show that he is the man with the relationship with the white house that brought this about and is therefore the man that the israelis need to vote for in order to ensure that it takes place blue and white led by benny gantz the main opposition party the largest party in the knesset it says that it's welcoming the deal as a basis for progress with the palestinians but that it has to be done after the election or worked on after the election under the stewardship of a prime minister who isn't under indictment over corruption allegations so they are

trying to to to to use the deal to their own ends but certainly it does hand netanyahu a pretty easy message although there are those on the further right of israeli politics for whom it's problematic because even mentions a palestinian state at all how he felt it live in west jerusalem thank you. from harry we can go to another of our correspondents covering the story stephanie decker she is in gaza city and that's where people say the deal will strip their rights even. despite the cold for a general strike it is business as usual on the streets of gaza schools are open shops are open and people are telling us that they really didn't expect anything different to fulfill at the stuff our rights are being sold on the international marketplace in this part of the global oppression of the palestinian people we don't have confidence in any of the politicians anymore. to get our spacesuit

rights and to live in any other. troubling problem i believe this deal of the century is proposing less than what we have now and i think president mahmoud abbas will not accept it. politically the message from hamas is one of our white rejection and this is something that we're seeing a rare unity from all the palestinian factions whether it's hamas on the scene islamic jihad jihad all the messages that they outright reject. is is. it is a crime committed against the palestinian people again there's a lot of people. what people say is more important to them is the lifting of the blockade or easing of their lives here in the gaza strip which has been under blockade by israel and egypt for over 10 years since hamas took power here as a certainly this deal given no indication of that it's something that. would change

they say they have no power to influence the politics and also this is i think why you see people almost an interested in this didn't expect anything else and certainly will tell you that the life here at the moment is more difficult than it's ever been the united nations in 22 all issued a report saying that gaza would become the new little. while it is now 2020 and there is no political solution in sight. so how did we get to this plan alexia bryan takes a look when we look at president trump's proposed plan it's important to remember how palestinian territory has vanished over the past century this was the map and 917 before the british mandate for palestine just 3 percent of the population were jews but over the next 50 years of british rule jewish immigration increased when the mandate expired in 1948 the state of israel was created and its military

expelled at least 750000 palestinians from their homeland then during the 1967 war israel expanded its territory into the west bank including east jerusalem and the gaza strip occupying all of historic palestine after the oslo accord in 1904 palestinians were given certain powers of self rule but remained under israeli military occupation and since then hundreds of thousands of israelis have moved into settlements built on that occupied territory which is against international law and this is how a future palestinian state could look under trump's proposed plan israeli territory would separate the 2 main palestinian centers of gaza and the occupied west bank with a tunnel between them but all of these israeli settlements dotted inside the palestinian territory would be recognized by the u.s. and while the plan would create a capital for the palestinians it's not easter absalom it's the eastern outskirts of the city away from the old city and the alexa mosque compound trump says

jerusalem will be israel's undivided capital groups like amnesty international have rejected the plan saying it would exacerbate tensions and endorse israel's half century of occupation our lives speak. who's director of bets and israeli and he's joining us live from west jerusalem. would you say that this trump plan for peace if you like between israel and the palestinians effectively puts an end to the dreams of palestinians for their own independence 8 now obviously this is not a plan for peace or anything close to it it's a plan that offers but a stain ians neither rights nor statehood but you either a permanent state of apartheid it that's what we're discussing for human rights perspective of course the only future that is conceivable the only future that is

legitimate is a future it guarantees the human rights for writing lou political rights for everyone living within the river and the sea old $14000000.00 people that live here this hour this plan would offer as is exactly the opposite of that and because of that we rejected it and so what options then do human rights advocates like yourselves and indeed the palestinians what options are there at this point. discussed back to doing to national community and to the conscience of the of humanity to the americans are greenlighting now for what he is only the wishing to continue to do to palestinians is in violation of only of international law but of the very basic moral principles that have been the effort of trying to get our humanity since the end of the 2nd world war the question for the local audience that is looking at their from long injustice that israel desires

to capitulate against palestinians is what are you going to do about it are you going to watch this being allowed to proceed now with an american official stamp of approval or are you going to stand up against it and what do you make then of what we're describing as a fairly muted response coming from the arab world in particular the arab league talking about. considering the proposal carefully the egyptians saying something similar and indeed the bahraini the o. money and the u.a.e. ambassadors present jim washington at the unveiling of this plan. yeah out out to that not referring specifically to any of these but of course also the european union member states and others. and yet de underwhelming international response to this issue asian is far if what allowed it to arrive

a disappointed it is the fact that the world did not stand out. in protection of the rights of palestinians yet have allowed israel to gradually over the course of a decade after a decade derive a disarray oddity using the guise of legality using false accusation of anti-semitism in some sort to eventually arrive a disappointed but defacto aren't at all this is being playing out in broad daylight gradually over a look very long period of time when everyone already knew what this reality spells out right and what of that was not met by decisive international action and that is what is needed absolutely so well the world is saying let's consider this i mean the french of said that as well as you say the e.u. what about the potential $50000000000.00 worth of investment that dad kushner and his associates have pledged to help along this middle east peace i do not think that that will make a difference. the plan and it has various smokescreens including these you know

financial promises. down are yet to be realized but in the meantime reality on the ground obviously doesn't change and the reality on the ground continues going in the same steady direction it is been going all the time advancing is ready interest at the expense of the rights of palestinians violence killing with impunity taking over the land dispossession demolitions certain violence back by the state and so on and so forth that is the reality and no amount of money can change that how guy of that salim thank you very much thank you. because a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including donald trump's legal team concluding the opening arguments in the president's impeachment trial rejecting calls for a kid visor to give evidence. a serious prime minister's challenge by furious

plan this to try to go to china and i told them they composite a checkpoint they have to go back to beijing. or but they said they wouldn't stop us instead they would follow us until we reached a checkpoint to the community we wanted to visit the sign says hold the car stop a check for about an hour away from the train station the exit from the freeway this is described as the medical supply capital of china so we wanted to go in because the face masks are manufactured there more than 50 percent for china are manufactured inside and we've heard that they have brought the staff back from their holiday early to manufacture more face masks but it's so sensitive they're stopping us they're not even letting us go inside. we were not the only ones being turned away other cars were prevented from going in if they could not prove that they were from chung young. and then we were told by the official that if we did not leave one province before the end of the day it was highly likely that we would

be put in quarantine. as the end of the extended holiday draws closer many people in these communities could be cut off even longer if additional transportation restrictions are put into place scott had. right now it's time for the weather now everton's and i'm not sure if it's good news or not but it's mild in europe for this very mild positively spring like if it wasn't for the cloud in the right upper talking about shorts and t. shirt weather take a look at the satellite picture you can see why it is so cloudy all of that weather is tumbling in family atlantic always a mild direction but at this time of year i mean fright the payoff is that you don't actually see too much in the way of any sunshine so as you go on through the next couple days you can see this myriad of fronts just tumbling through we got some bits and pieces the plow and rain spilling in will see that west of where the getting into were parts of france a good part of france as we go on through with some wet weather some wintry weather there into poland chances and sleet and snow into ukraine to that western side of

russia but it is incredibly mild 0 celsius in moscow around either 6 degrees above the seasonal average we could touch maybe 12 or 13 in london and paris we should be at around $78.00 maybe 9 degrees at this time of the year as we go on into friday that wetter weather that wintry weather that will make its way through germany pushing little further race with cloud yet tumbling in behind another 12 or 13 it's of those western parts maybe a 14 for madrid let's focus some on paris we could touch 15 here is because i want to the end of the weekend there will be some rain coming through just bear in mind my saying that it should be about 90 degrees thank you every 10 folk that does want to count me out is their news hour including activists accuse media outlets in india of being biased in their coverage of a controversial citizenship law and the olympic village is on vale didn't take it but open eyes is called for immediate action to protect the games from the spread

of the corrina virus. in russia many coyotes migrant black. grazer. echoing an increasingly familiar global trend. carious labor force left vulnerable to exploitation in xenophobia. people in power investigate. moscow's little pakistan. on al-jazeera. the big stories generated thousands of lives maybe angles in this story are too numerous for comfort with different angles from different perspectives things never really being believed. muddying the water even separate the spin from the facts and the

misinformation from the journalists on the set was clear and it sounds to me and here people just look at me with the listening post on out 0. tarvaris take a look at the top stories here on the out sirrah news hour protests have broken out in new york implied west bank against the u.s. president's proposal to end the palestinian israeli conflict palestinian leaders have rejected the plan put forward by president trump saying it will be thrown into history's garbage. israel's prime minister is on his way to moscow to brief on the proposal benjamin netanyahu wants his cabinet to approve plans to annex the should

teach it jordan valley and all the israeli settlements on occupied land as soon as possible. hundreds of people from japan and the united states are returning home after being evacuated from china's school bay province more than 130 people have already died in china around 6000 others are infected and that's a greater number than those reached during the sars epidemic of 2003. or more could be a major turning point in donald trump's impeachment trial the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell his privately told republicans what is being reported all over the media that he no longer has the votes he needs to block witnesses for republicans need to side with the democrats that would allow the new testimony to be heard heidi joe 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 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 call that i call it in admissible 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 base is as american 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 heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. now the pentagon is saying that 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 said that nobody had been hurt in the strikes that were in retaliation for the u.s. sustentation of cousin silliman the of course that top iranian commander last week though the pentagon said 34 people have been injured and that some will still receiving treatment right we can speak to richard what's now his a security and defense analysts said with his strut a global risk consultancy joining us from washington d.c. richard thanks for talking to us traumatic brain injuries it sounds really serious . yes and this is something that we've become aware of in both civilian and military life over the past years it's become much clearer how even small concussion can over time really miss her and seriously impact

a person's head oath and so i think it's you know i think this is something that the military is going to respond pretty extensively for items that really say do you take do you think it's not do you think that these injuries then would not a pirate at the time when donald trump tweeted that everything was well it was good and said that nobody had been hurt in the iranian missile strikes sure at that i mean at the time we parsed feared that their. missiles would kill their u.s. soldiers or iraqi soldiers or civilians or there be a lot of serious physical injuries which would be a pain and in terms. whereas these kind of injuries aren't really they took a while to become visible if the kind of tests you have to do. would bring them out but you wouldn't you wouldn't necessarily see that i mean that that tax i think that was probably why the initial assessment was that there were no serious

casualties and we're seeing this continually upward revision in the not the number of those people who are affected by potential trauma injuries but you can probably understand that this will cools many people to again doubt the word of the president if not the pentagon as well i mean the whole sort of fact checking industry has grown up on to the presidency of donald trump. right and that president is not alone in underestimate the impact of these i mean i think for many years a lot of us just didn't didn't really understand how serious these war and we've seen a lot of corrective efforts both within the military and in terms of sports activities limiting the age in which you can transfer in context or it's making people wear helmets and so on so i and i think. this is something that people have been criticizing president trunk for if this is not this is a common problem that we're going to need a lot more education and understanding and richard why it's thank you very much

indeed talking just live from washington thank you the syrian government forces have recaptured the important rebel held city not out. of province it's a city that lies on an important highway connecting damascus and aleppo president assad's regime is of bombarded this area for months tens of thousands of people have fled the fighting and since december an estimated 350000 people have been displaced so them cause here lou is in istanbul with more on the implications the seizure 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 city 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 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 its advancement towards to the north it means there are going to be more people more civilians stuck by the turkish border are they going to attack it looks at the center as they have affect martha newman 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 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. their 3 children have been killed in a rocket attack in libya's capital tripoli the attack was on a neighborhood near the city center here recognize governments blaming forces loyal to the warlord holly for hafter almost 300 civilians have been killed by rockets or airstrikes since have to began his campaign to take the city in april well meanwhile libya's u.n. recognized government says its allies have shot down an ever r.t. supplied drone which is being used by have to us forces the aircraft came down near misrata turkey has been sending reinforcements to the tripoli based government including air defense systems where government troops are making further advances into have to control territory and have halted an operation by the war not to take
