a moment of national renewal. today we celebrate the beginning of our independence . and i was on hummus with all the sports as a 5th seed dominate team says up an australian open final would know the joke of it plus. because it prepared to pay tribute to kobe bryant pass they get ready to play the 1st game since the death of the n.b.a. legend. evacuations from the epicenter of the coronavirus are being stepped up and more restrictions placed on travel to china well tell organization it's now officially declared a global health emergency with the death toll at 213 nearly 10000 confirmed cases a 3rd plane load of japanese arrived back in tokyo early friday evacuated from move on 3 people. flown out on earlier flights have been confirmed to have the virus and

a turkish plane has also left for hot in malaysia health officials are handing out pamphlets on how to avoid infection and also making public announcements and the u.s. has upped its travel alert to the highest level the same as war zones advising americans not to go to china some communities in the epicenter of the virus are taking matters into their own hands or from scott heiler in beijing. the lock down of will haunt city origin of the corona virus and the surrounding province is now in its 2nd week so how are the more than 50000000 people there coping we spoke with a few through video chat to get an idea john and his wife live in their 2 sons postpone their trip from hong kong for the lunar new year because of the virus the dates keep getting pushed back and their biggest concern is the uncertainty the obvious stress of concern about being infected with the current virus but what is it like just the other stress about supplies about your daily life i think.

that's just the long of out front. this is now this could become the greatest challenge here he says he gets his information from friends outside china and contacts at the local hospitals. city is next to will hon like its neighbor it is sealed off and its streets empty this video was shot by one shin he has a supply of mass and food in the fridge his parents are with him but his wife and young daughter are with her parents outside who pay province. i feel more relaxed because who by province is now seriously hit by the epidemic the place where they are at now has far fewer cases so i feel a bit relieved that they're not with me this cipher at the moment at biggest concern is when will we have medication for the virus this is what we care about most all those people who have problems are under a forced lockdown there are some communities across china who are self imposing

a lockdown like this one on the outskirts of beijing they're not letting anyone into this community from the outside they're worried someone might carry the virus inside no matter the type of lock down government forced or self imposed with the spread of the virus accelerating no one knows how long these communities remain safe it's got al-jazeera beijing. thousands of people are still returning to hong kong from mainland china after the lunar new year but in haiti has more from how and how the government rather there is handling the crisis. there is big demand for protective facemasks in hong kong as concern grows that we could be about to see a significant increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases here because so many people are returning from mainland china following the end of the lunar new year holiday there is a shortage of protective facemasks here now some shops do have them but the price is high in some cases $3.00 times higher than what it normally would be criticism

of the government has been growing too there are many people in hong kong who feel they haven't been doing enough to protect this city from more confirmed cases of the virus they have reduced significantly the number of transport options between here and the mainland but many people want the border crossings to be closed completely something hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb says they won't do we should not contemplate sort of restrictions off international travel or trade and we should not adopt a discriminate trade approach in dealing with people flowing between different countries and places in trying to contain the spread of the d.c.'s there are other measures which will help us to achieve that in fact kerry also said that they will ask all civil servants to continue working from home next week and all schools in most universities will remain closed until march the sikkens. charter plane has

brought out the 1st group of south koreans for mohan they have been taken to 2 newly created quarantine centers by people living nearby are protesting raman pride is an awesome. arriving in seoul after days of delays especially chartered plane returning 368 people who'd been living in wound around half the number of south korean nationals trapped there and wanting to leave so were found to have fevers and taken to hospital. the rest were heading here to one of 2 make shift quarantine centers south of the capital their presence has led to protests from people living nearby and police to remove roadblocks. the government sent to minister to reassure protesters that he was met by angry shouts and eggs being thrown. of course local residents will be worried by the prospect of patients coming to the

area but the corona virus is transmitted in 2 ways by contact or by respiratory droplets so you need to be within one to 2 meters a patient to be in danger. as the convoy bringing the evacuees approached other people turned out to welcome them you know. it's only natural for the country to bring back our citizens and treat them well small the people coming here past the screening and don't have symptoms. after an exhausting night of travel and health screenings their journey is finally at an end but now starts the quarantine in a place they will have to call home for the next 2 weeks each person will have their own room and are allowed to keep their phones and computers but they'll be no visitors while their conditions are monitored to make sure they are free from the coronavirus. at least as one of the evacuees told us through their social media account they're back on south korean soil and what they call the nightmare of will

hand is behind them rob mcbride al-jazeera a son south korea. and the plane carrying $110.00 evacuees is due to land in the next hour at an air force base in the u.k. and joins us live now from oxford shire so tell us more about this evacuation zone you. were show we're just outside the. base at brize norton oxfordshire which is away saying. very shortly the return of 410 evacuees about 83 of them the british the rest of them are other foreign nationals they will land here those who are going to be staying here they will be undergoing some kind of quick medical checkups before then they will be then after they will be placed on to buses and then taken some 275 kilometers to the

northwest to a hospital there where a special accommodation has been arranged for them they will be staying in this fenced in area to prevent people from coming in to that particular place and then coming out again the remainder of the 20 the 27 other foreign nationals will then be taken to spain where the plane originated from and then will undergo. checks there as well but this the important thing is that there is has to be this quarantining of these people just come out of of the affected area 14 days for all of them in order to check now apparently all of them who are in board the plane are eggs or none of them are exhibiting any signs of any ill health or tool but as of course as we've been learning week there's no way of knowing whether anyone has the coronavirus with as it can be present without any symptoms and of course the

story as well the show and of course there is so much unknown about it absolutely sagna so what else can you tell us about other evacuation efforts that other countries have have put into effect. it was a exaggeration to say that other countries have certainly picked up on trying to repatriate the citizens as well from france and germany that have been flights which have been taking off from wu hand they've been doing this also in coordination with the european union or thirty's as well and health officials. as well to try and sort of a bring as many people as possible and tried to to conduct a european wide effort as well other countries turkey for example has just had another flight leaving and going directly to the capital are in korea also a stray here has begun to repatriate its citizens but rather controversially it's taking them to a christmas island an island which is one and

a half 1000 kilometers away from the astray and mainland so is really a very very isolated quarantine period that the strain citizens are having to go for americans as well are starting to have already begun that process there was a group of mainly u.s. diplomats and their families who were taken to a base in southern california and there are still plenty more who are waiting to be treated in the coming days richelle ok sign a guy with the latest sign your thank you. well morehead and the news hour including. i'm lawrence lee in western belgium where european food supplies are doing everything they can to mitigate against the central worst effects of rex's. bush fires raging through southeastern australia are now threatening the capital city and in sport it's all smiles from this pair as they clinched their 3rd grand slam title at the australian open details and the big.

difference president is calling for the u.s. to be more active in settling its conflict with russian back separatists on a missile and then meeting president trump's top diplomat in kiev my visit coincides with the impeachment trial and donald trump back in washington he's accused of threatening to withhold military crain in order to pressure kiev into investigating his political rival joe biden on peo has denied that any future visit by selenski to the white house depends on an investigation into the biden's matter i'm unsurprised by your question i suspect you will not be unsurprised by my answer . no there's there's no condition of the nature you describe for presidents who come to washington and have that this is just simply not the case will find the right time or find the appropriate opportunity. scott

lucas is professor of political science and international studies at university of birmingham he joins us on skype from birmingham scott thank you so much for your time so right there secretary upon peo almost scoffed at the notion that there could possibly be be a link between investigating the bidens and the ukrainian president getting a visit to the white house although it's been established that's exactly fact it's been said on the floor of the senate chief of staff and he said it at a press conference so what type of position does this puts president in selenski in that one minute he's getting this pressure the next the u.s. is saying don't worry about it all while he actually needs something from the u.s. . well presidents lenski has to by this time hope that there might be a change of administrations next january and that there's a sensible foreign policy it's as blunt as that even in washington defenders of donald trump are no longer saying that donald trump did not freeze military aid in an attempt to get the investigations for his personal gain to get ukraine to

investigate the presidential candidate joe biden presidential attorney alan dershowitz said during the trial well you know if trump had personal motives if he thought there was a political interest that it's ok lamar alexander the decisive vote on whether or not we get witnesses and documents to make this a real trial said yesterday well he will not vote for witnesses he said well donald trump did this but you know it's not impeachable so my pump aoe is basically covering for someone who has already been found to have committed those acts that threaten ukraine national security but of course a lot of resilience he cannot say that because to say that would be really anger trump more and threaten even more of punishment or at least distance by washington as ukraine continues to face russian pressure so about that russian. pressure is it possible that because so much of this and has been exposed as a possible that perhaps the toughest race and might feel some pressure to actually

step up and help zelinsky i mean pompei oh is there. now about a i was there a pompei i was also the man who said a few a few days ago to a reporter for national public radio radio is kelly just before he cursed out or do you think americans care about you crime i think the key thing here will be a after the inclusion of the impeachment trial where we know trump is not going to be convicted will the republicans then swing back and instead of protecting trump put pressure on his and ministration not only to deliver the military assistance that was already pledged but to step out up to give more political backing to ukraine and to distance trump from a lot of important. normally i would say that would be the smart move for republicans but we are in an election year and the republicans are now tied at the hip to donald trump and have only made that type greater in the last few weeks so no i think ukraine is still in a tenuous position with the trump of ministration all right scott lucas live for us from birmingham scott thank you very much. republican senator who democrats hoped

would support calling new witnesses said donald trump trials health has no on that lamar alexander released a statement saying there was no need for more evidence and the critics senators want to hear from transformer national security advisor john bolton and others but they need that support for republicans reports from washington. after the 2nd and final day of cross-examination of house democrats and white house lawyers in the u.s. senate a significant moment in donald trump's impeachment trial tennessee republican lamar alexander announced ahead of friday's scheduled for our debate that he would not vote for the introduction of more witnesses and documents his argument is that there's no need for more evidence to show that president trump withheld aid to pressure the ukrainian government to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son hunter he did but while that was inappropriate doing so did not rise to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor and the removal of the president from office alexander

also said in a statement that the whole impeachment process had been quote shallow 100 and houli partisan with the potential to rip the country apart a major argument of trump's lawyers we're in an election year there are some in this room better days away from the iowa caucuses taking place so we're discussing the possible impeachment and removal of the president of the united states not only during election season in the heart of the election season and i think that this is a does a disservice to the american people the democrats then did not convince other example that by definition a trial should have witnesses it is certainly in their interest and the president's interest that we have a fair trial a trial without truth without key evidence without witnesses in documents would render the president's acquittal meaningless. thing stump that means the democrats of very unlikely to get the 51 votes they need to call for witnesses the most they

could hope for is a draw 5450 against witnesses and documents on this there's a major surprise and the expectation is a druid would be in the motion for new evidence will be judged to have failed others of decision makes it very likely that the president will be acquitted after what's expected to be many hours of debate on friday the white house's goal there off on that quickly before double trouble delivers his state of the union address next user appears to be the tree shepparton see al-jazeera washington. let's go live to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett so. kimberly it's been obviously of a monumental thing to have an impeachment trial but today seems particularly consequential what happens today yeah in terms of what happens next everyone is holding their breath for sort of the next dramatic twist that could occur but as she had reported there it appears that dramatic twist has already come the question of whether there would be the witnesses called now seems very slim to almost

unlikely but not impossible so we're watching that carefully for that final vote on the calling of the witnesses and once that comes down if it is sort of a $5050.00 split there are $100.00 u.s. senators then that means that it could be up to the chief justice to break that tie but we're hearing he won't so a $5050.00 split means there will be no witnesses the vast the 1st thing to watch for after that happens democrats looking to play their last potential hands may have some procedural maneuvering but ultimately what we're going to see is that motion to have the final vote and then the final vote on whether to acquit the president what i'm hearing is this could go into the wee hours of the morning meaning that it becomes sometime after 23 g.m.t. ok and i know you will keep us posted kimberly halkett from washington kimberly thank you.

people in the united kingdom are hours away from ceasing to be citizens at the european union the country's 47 year membership of the bloc officially ends friday night at $2300.00 g.m.t. u.k. and will then enter a so-called transition period until the end of the year to get time to reach a deal on its future relationship with you thousands of francs that supporters are expected on the streets outside of washington later on friday to celebrate the occasion and let's go now to lawrence lee who joins us live from brussels so i mean we know the day was coming but what is what is the feeling like there lawrence well it's pretty flat so i have to say that they're very sad they've been saying of the last couple days of the u.k. look it's it could be over as well and you know you can well you're welcome but when you warm you know the other parts of it i think is worth mentioning is that for a country like the u.k. where the biggest economies in the world's sea leaving off the 47 years is

a bit of a humiliation frankly for the european union and in terms of the brands you know on the p.r. level of the u.s. not going to look great when the flags taken down at midnight tonight and so they're already trying to get around the bikes enjoy using the future of the block and and these and these trade deals and what's going to happen with the u.k. off to the brics it happens and what the relation ship going to look like but the other good news that we've discovered just what we've been over here this week full bricks it says is that here in belgium there are institutions and companies and just over the north sea from the u.k. which say they're going to do every single thing they can to make bricks of the successful as possible. the last day for the u.k. in the european union but here they're carrying on as if nothing is changing the vegetables come from several european countries and the bagged up and supplied to schools and hospitals all over britain so we'll organize of that works out how to

keep feeding the u.k. even if the trade deal never happens all of the transport is now. used it uses the weekends rather than and depending on your weekdays so we gain 2 extra days to get our stuff over dude u.k. we use different boards where we're only we're using maybe 2 golds in the past we're up to $34.00 boards at a moments for things like food a critical in forth coming trade talks and will determine what extent the u.k. plans to stay close to the e.u. but would no deal mean no food points about bric cities that unique place involves the u.k. dismantling rather than creating existing trade deals and that's led many people to wonder in the worst case scenario if the u.k. will simply run out of things like food but maybe just maybe things won't be all that bad. remember all the talk of huge queues of trucks on motorways this is and

contain a port which believes it can help avoid much of that that quite convinced all the talk of shortages of anything from medicines to toilet paper will come to nothing business finds a way always but at the end of the day. most of the problems will be eventually solved that burps i don't believe in and out of my good i'm in debt since that all of a sudden there will be. insufficient products in the u.k. shops on the other hand it will make things much more difficult it will come with a cost and it comes with a consequence of along with demands at times bricks it as i've always said speculation the u.k. will run out of vital supplies is overblown but their slogan taking back control will also mean continuing to rely on europe the west of flanders there is the

export of vegetables all the time going from the port of cebu to port of and who have to did to you k. so i know that you will still have trade with us but of course we want a new cream and maybe focused on on things like beverage him food. in brussels brits and others distraught about bricks have been parting away their sorrows but it belgian exporters of got it right the u.k.'s great departure may not turn out to be entirely traumatic for either side. because for all of those things the problem for the european union is if they make the trade deal a success was possible for the u.k. then the worry is that other countries might say well we could leave too you know and then have to pay and all this money to the european union and what will the reasons why the u.k. is left so they're still saying in these press conferences that this morning earlier on the present the european commission would say look it's being in splendid isolation as they put it was whether in the u.k. is off soon. when ever be as good as being in the club. from

brussels lawrence thank you. man star so i'm assuming i'm a mixture of emotions there name. absolutely rasho it was inevitable look at the state of pinion it's hardly moved the result as we know it was 5248 just under 4 years ago but it remains such a divisive issue here in britain and there will be rival rallies just over the river here near parliament later on on friday between supporters of brett sit and people who are mourning britain's departure from the e.u. or somebody who talks a lot about the subject on there is ross taylor the co-host of remaining podcast rose right now is there in the opinion of strong remain as any silver lining to be

seen in the in the year ahead in the future relationship we might have with the new incredibly for us i think a lot of people nothing. we're trying to look around what we can see at the moment and right now there's a lot up for grabs in terms of whether states and regulators and regulator alignment with and what happens with freedom and immigration policy so i think we're looking to those. rights act as well that's directly connected. now that boris johnson's prime minister he has been promising to bring the country together to heal those divisions and part of it is to do with reducing inequality around brits and do you think that that now that he's got this mandate that he can actually do that particularly on healing the division the bracks it's causing i think it's going to be a huge task to do that he's got enormous amounts of his place just negotiating the exit deal with you. yesterday to make 5 percent cuts to departments

on top of all the austerity cuts that have already been made in short despite all the money going into the n.h.s. now it is going to be a while before people start to feel the benefits of that and i don't think that just moving the house of lords up to new york being proposed is going to heal the kind of divisions that we've seen up in bush's society in the last 34 years because there are still unanswered questions for the roughly 3000000 a you citizens in britain as well as britons abroad for those e.u. citizens already working and living here in britain how the government is reassuring everybody that they can stay but they have been problems. there's a scheme called the e.u. scheme that every decent living in britain has to apply to to stay originally theresa may threatens to basically deport anyone who hadn't got certain status by the end of this year by the end of 2020. going to happen which is a relief because you can never get 100 percent coverage of

a scheme like that that was always. promised but nonetheless a lot needs to change about the scheme and in particular people need to have some kind of physical proof. card which they don't cover we have thank you very much for your time well as i was mentioning there will be events here in westminster and other parts of great britain celebrating all morning the official departure of britain from the. 11 pm local time we'll be bringing you those. thank you a state of emergency has been declared in australia's capital as fires threatened and the surrounding region authorities are concerned hot weather and strong winds will spread a fire south the city out of control. smoke billowing toward see australia in capital canberra bushfires in a national park to the south post the most serious threat to the australian capital

to a tree or in nearly 20 years. government officials fear that strong winds blowing over parched land combined with high summer temperatures can make the fire has even more unpredictable and difficult to control the ice ha is now facing the worst bushfire threat since the devastating fawaz of 2003. the combination of extraneous hate weened and a dry land sky to apply suburbs in camber say off at risk in the coming dies. the oral fire has now grown to itanium a half 1000 hectares that's 195 square kilometers or nearly i percent of the total land mass of the australian capital territory. people preparing for the worst and stalking up on water many remember the 2003 bushfires that killed 4 people the canberra and destroyed hundreds of homes on concern that the i.c.t.

does not have regular support for 2003 had been a little small fire burned for either candidate is no attention given toward them and we know the result of that the unpredictable weather through the summer has made the fight more difficult this video shows how bushfires have exploded in minutes because of sudden gusts of wind about 90 bush fires are burning in different parts of the country the largest are new south wales where high temperatures are returning back in the forty's in the next 24 hours before it's ready canberra is also moving to a new south wales the state's government is investigating white this fire season is so bad we've got everything to gain from this process and nothing to lose we won't leave any stone unturned it's in our interest it's in our citizens' interests to find out everything we can into and to bring forward those recommendations that are critical for the future. this is been australia's most devastating summer in

decades dozens of people have been killed by the fires thousands of homes have been destroyed and more than 11000000 hectares of land scorched and with some are far from over there many more testing days ahead. dizzy are. you talking about the weather and the hot weather in particular that they're concerned about they are cautious reporting has more on that yeah i do indeed that is result. there are 4 trees all over the place for 2 melbourne 14 karat it was 40. 41 so the heat has returned is not a big surprise and we used to this however look how far that is from the average from where it is always hot 7 above average to. 2. $120.00 degrees above average for january is the hottest months in fact a new record was set in cambra during the sponsor $44.00 so we're not far away now it everyday will be a change in the hot weather. beach yeah it's just

a good summer but as you saw saw day drift back again this is the one just to the southwest still being for the dark side of the fire to keep dry but they got 2 days i think still with poor conditions as the change coming in but of course is a frontal system it changes the wind direction change the time trees and they bring drain with what it brings the rain in and there it was over port lincoln was just west of adelaide is a decent amount of rain as it hits the ground. moving however it will be felt in the immediate future you know where 2 places vent and it gets to monday probably cameras to going to be hot and of course windy and that's the risk. thank you very much still ahead on al-jazeera palestinian territories and other countries in the region middle east peace plan. more people turn out. and more than 6000.

to be the story of the 6 nations rugby championship. fascist anti establishment and. despite the recent official disbanding of its militarized wing a basque separatist movement is found alive and well on the terraces of a building stadium. a place where political revolutionaries share a platform and ideology with football hooligans. read death on al-jazeera. and who would winning investigation i mean a worker's room right behind that as we factory when we operate for less and we buy for less we can pass those savings all of our customers into the supply chains that

produce cheap new thing. with little regard for workers' lives the remains of the fire are still everywhere rewinds made in bangladesh on al-jazeera. watching al-jazeera let's recap the top stories right now the 1st plane carrying british and e.u. citizens from the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak in china has landed in the u.k. several countries are stepping up evacuations from move on and more nations have placed restrictions on travel to china world health organization as al officially

declared the coronavirus a global health emergency with the death toll of 213 and nearly 10000 confirmed cases. state my pump a pail is in ukraine a senators and donald trump's impeachment trial prepares to vote on whether to call witnesses trumps accused of withholding military aid to leverage ukraine's president wanted or selenski into and best skating his political rival show by. there have been scuffles now the al aqsa mosque compound where palestinians were holding a protest against u.s. president donald trump's plan for the middle east and palestinians gathered in the early hours after morning prayers israeli police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them harry fossett is in the old city in occupied east jerusalem he says israel has stepped up security in the area. just after dawn prayers this morning there were those confrontations between israeli put security forces and palestinian worshippers dozens of them in or around the alexa mosque compound and now the main friday noon prayers are under way and we had already heard from

israeli security forces that they were beefing up their presence in the old city because of the current political tensions off to the release of the trump peace plan and just before those present underway we did hear that in the immediate area around the locks the mosque compound and as the temple mount to jews in that area the security presence was a good deal more visible and had been increased the real question is how things pan out a few minutes from now once the prez coude break up rather and people come out into the streets of the old city around the mosque the the that the general security presence as a here has been increased as it has in the occupied west bank as well all of this coming after tuesday's release of the trump plan and the apparent green light that it gave to israel to start an acting annex ation in israeli settlements and indeed

the jordan valley the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had indicated he wanted to move almost immediately this sunday to vote in cabinet to start that process but the brakes have been put on by the americans it seems in the last couple of days so we wait to see whether that reality the fact that there isn't going to be an immediate change whether that has any influence on how things pan out today in terms of protests. are there was a protest in gaza against transfer postals and stephanie decker was there. now that and people have turned up here in germany in the northern you know only night a man. called for by mass herman in the month of august was us not the dean of the century. spoke about how they ultimately rejected the entire plan how people would remain steadfast in how this was the judgment palestinian land and the un. would not be accepted this is the same message that

house here has been given there's about a minute dedication from fact that these are usually opposite ends of any kind of agreement coming here next week to discuss some form of unified response to the plan but certainly if you look at these numbers it is already ending now it is by no means the majority of it on the strip this is a population of almost 2000000 people most people here have told us that they didn't expect anything different that they will stross not only the international community back in their leaders in hamas and fatah forces world that will tell you is road towards what israel does but the real surprise here that this is something that was a tragedy in the most complete silence of the nation i think we're not going to have arab leaders of our own that have and having this plan and not so certainly people here in scream disappointed in the entire situation but they will tell you that for that far more importantly it is trying to survive here day to day the

blockade continues at the moment no political solution seems to be innocent and across in lebanon palestinian refugees are concerned much from still would mean for their future sarkar addison the palestinian refugee camp of birth south of beirut. that is crazy i am to go to shit but i should not count it if i am family 12 times a processional my house is probably going to change now in rome which is the u.n. policy and you just bought off a 1000000 of them in this country the government has failed us it was our $100000.00 but of course they hate that i am very happy on the property with the proposed trauma of middle east and the one thing they're very concerned about it would say the highlights that there was a handful of palestinian refugees was that homeland very important point because it also suggests 3 options it says that it could say that these problems in europe

have you absorbed by the palestinian state that it said will be created it says that these host countries such as that should not try and include them in society and also to suggest that members navy islamic corporations should be able to take up to 50000 refugees over the 10 year period if they agree to this deal as well now of course rather than university jesus so many generations of them here was done for generations some of these kids were actually i was a camp and i'm not seeing now hung on but they all say he was he was and he of all the problems they are facing here is that they all * knots and lebanese citizens which means that the kids like these ones had a call and could see public schools that lacking in education basic economic and social rights do not apply here and some of them kongsi even takes a certain jobs for example they want to be an engineer or even a doctor sort of facing very harsh conditions and the numbers have swelled to swell

because also most palestinians who were displaced from their homelands ended up in syria and of course the syrian war heightens our love and up to cause they of course are many was the time to be if you have been on my mind although she admits he was right then all top. about this deal of course that aids was not paid to the u.n. by a week from the administration we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars. the u.n. is also struggling to find funds aids and of course people here living in a very. in leave town and all they say they want. to run back. home. aren't running us here in the studio abraham for heart associate professor of conflict resolution and humanitarian studies at the institute for graduate studies we appreciate your time very much so obviously you were sara was there was a lot of a lot of protests but the previous reports that we showed were our correspondent stephanie decker was in gaza where very fossett was hers not really

a huge organized push that had this plan that we know palestinians don't like but are you what do you make of what their response has been as far as protests yeah i think you have a very interesting observation and i agree with the thought that i think the reason for this is that there is some sort of a confusion within the palestinian side over how to react to this and what to do about it especially the you know there is a trust issue with their own leadership the policy the disappointed them in the past year is for not being able to respond the way that they want to lead the ship to respond to the israeli policies and i'm going to campuses that deal of the century is not something you know they have been talking about it for now over 2 years is the policy number 3 it was we expect think much. of the action from the leadership including for example to stop the security coordination with

the with the leadership of the. not only this book also there where the inquisitions from. political institutions like the synthroid. council of p.l.o. that demanded. looking into the issue of there is also stopping the security cooperation because of this plan and then these 2 conditions plus you have to listen to them so now there is some sort of this describing a. deflated population is that is that what it is that so that's exactly what it is the palestinian leadership is promising that they want to do something actually out of talking about or they were talking about just that they about an important speech that a bus is going to deliver on south of the that he's going to. get he's going to

there's the you one as well so address them what way is saying we need you to trust in them and what type of way what do you think according to the fullest heenan be the ship that they wanted there is them in dams all of. defining in terms of reminding them of the international responsibility towards this conflict and the towards the palestinian rights. to it that he forgot and this this plot so especially talking to the arab league because the arab league was the response was disappointing to so he wants to remind them that you know what what this means for the region and for you know how this plan of the tom benefiting our whole is going to put you with the conflict is going to want to dissolve the conflict but it's going to make it you know put it on the track of no solution to it because the policy is there will not be not even one policy and is going to accept this so i

think that could explain why because people want to see the leadership is taking a position they need so they can so they can follow them and that's the wait and see attitude probably is what we're talking about fessor abraham hot thank you aaron. unlatch thank you very much and callsigns ambassador to the u.n. says there is no way any official will consult with the u.s. over what he calls an earthquake of a middle east plan a comes after america's own are presented have said she was ready to talk about the future of the palestinian state are james bays has more from un headquarters in new york there's still be no security council meeting about the trump middle east plan the u.s. ambassador kelly craft has not briefed her colleagues but she did come to speak to reporters outside the chamber in the days to come that will be able to work with the countries that were very positive and hopefully have more dialogue and i'm open to conversation with months or what is there in this deal for the palestinians to like that doesn't this just reward israel for illegally taking palestinian land

over many decades you know i think i think what you say is a dialogue that has become normal and we need to move away from that dialogue because it's not normal and we need to focus on the palestinian the children the future of a palestinian state she says she's prepared to discuss the plan with the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. but he made it clear to me it's a meeting he won't be taking there is not a single palestinian official will meet with american officials now of that of the subnet it. earthquake the essence of it the destruction over the national over the palestinian people that is the palestinians and the united nations no israel may declare its sovereignty over settlements in the west bank sooner rather than later secretary-general what's your message to israel on possibly axing the settlements. it's very clear that her statement is

very clear on that he didn't dance so i put the question to his spokes person for our position. last week last month last year and today remains the same is that according to security council resolution $2334.00. israeli settlement activities are flagrant violations under international law i mean that's that's been our position the focus now will be on palestinian diplomatic outreach at the weekend president mahmoud abbas will attend an emergency meeting of the arab league in karo just over a week later he'll be at the african union in addis ababa and then on for the 11th he'll attend a meeting here of the u.n. security council james pays out his era of the united nations still ahead on al-jazeera and sport it's been 50 years in the making the kansas city chiefs are hoping to make history in sunday's super bowl 54th on while the details coming out

spits are transmitted back to earth's the tarantella nebula named after the filaments of gas that resembles spiders legs stretched out across the cosmos. it was one of the telescopes 1st observation targets when it was launched 16 years ago and spitzer allowed us to look at things lift the cosmic veil and see the super massive black holes that we couldn't see previously since then it has revealed twice as many galaxies as any other observatory and most importantly perhaps advanced human knowledge of black holes and the birth and death of stars spitzer's operational life was expected to be 5 years at the most but even after its helium fuel ran out the telescope continue to send vital data about the universe back to earth its relatively small size lead scientist to label spitzer the little telescope that could so this is a image of the telescope and i also have

a little long love it right here in front of me now so this is 130 seconds of the size of spitzer so if you if you multiply this little lot of by certain times you'll come up with a spacecraft that is about 13 feet in height. it weighed 930 kilograms approximately at launch and it was the small telescope that identified another solar system similar in many ways to ours the trappist one system a dwarf star 39 light years from earth surrounded by 7 exoplanets some of which show traces of water and which scientists agree may contain life forms the mark of the later of the traps one system discovery got that science on to like mainstream media at a level that had really very seldom seen of us now a command has been. into the spacecraft switching it to what is called safe mode

and in about 53 years it will come back past the earth and then head away in another direction into space even though spicher is there and what you would think of as a hibernation mode folkestone like you to say hardly make believe me it was really hard to come up with a term that everyone agreed on based on the final state right there were beyond but that legacy of scripture will live on because the doubt is there for people to go back and mine the legacy of spitzer is 16 years of data archived at a us university data that may still produce new discoveries about how so and our universe mike hanna al-jazeera washington and 1st for it now with ana thank you very much rachelle wall street as dominic tim has set up an australian open final against tennis world number 2 novak djokovic on sunday the world number 5 it beat germany's alex to reach his 1st final in melbourne team drop the 1st set
