we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so no matter what we've been using calendar for that matter. this is al-jazeera. and i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes palestinian leader terrorism to president trumps middle east plan mahmoud abbas tells arab leaders he will never give up the claim on is on jerusalem . a plea for help china's prime minister asked the e.u. to provide medical supplies needed to fight the coronavirus. no witnesses no documents impeachment trial is a perfidy. outrage from the democrats as president trump

a set equated after the us senate or checks their bed to call their witnesses. bomb them reduced to rubble would take a look at the desperation of syrians and the last trouble help province. and this pool of grand slam title for americans to see it in the 21 year old beating spain's gabby model with a 2 in the australian open. house and in president mahmoud abbas has hit out at donald trump's middle east plan at an emergency meeting of the arab league in cairo and the u.s. president has proposed that the capital of the future palestinian state should live outside of jerusalem and that is something abbas says it will never accept trumps plan was negotiated with israel with no input from palestinians now parts of the

plan also run counter to international law or is that abbas has been saying to the arab league you need a little an approach the moment they said his and next israel i knew i have to say it loud and clear we will never accept that under any circumstances i will never sell jerusalem is not for me it is for all of us were just the guards were only here because it is our duty our responsibility jerusalem is our capital it is our capital. it even him joins us live from ramallah in the occupied west bank so the he is adamant what the red line is and surely the trump administration had to have known this before they even put the plan out. indeed he pointed out that he wants an arab support for his rejection of the plan that doesn't meet any of the palestinian demands or aspirations for steve he's explicitly talked about jerusalem

something very important he said it's not just important for him it's also important for their arabs he talked about also the illegal israeli settlements that have been being built and he attacked the u.s. saying that they have been talking about this plan with trump being involved mostly talking about the team and neglecting and ignoring palestinians now he said that the u.s. has given the palestinians 40 years to respond to this plan while israel is already creating facts on the ground by building illegal israeli settlements and moving forward with an extension. of. this is palestine this is palestine in 1948 this is power song when we later agreed to 22 percent of the land here with the guys in today it is this i challenge any of you if you can even see us on the map if you ask a child in 1st grade to draw trumps map he will never know how to it doesn't even

make sense this is a disgrace just look at it divided completely divided. and neither do the palestinians think that the arab league can support them connect can actually do something for them. well if you talk to all students on the street today many of them might not even know that there is an arab league meeting they would tell you that they lost hope that the arabs have been are going to be supporting them to be giving them even political support many of those we speak to in the streets say that they believe that the arab people are with the palestinians however it's not necessarily deflected in that way by their political regimes so it doesn't seem that the street is really holding so much hope however put it to keep politicians who want to see the arab league unified in rejecting at least supporting abbesses rejection of it there are fears that this will become the new standards that

palestinians will be asked in a few years to accept even less than that and they will be told that you already rejected something less than that president abbas has reiterated that he would to to go back to international legitimacy and the arab peace initiative as a basis for negotiations. maybe over him live for us that amala need to thank you now relations between when the u.s. and palestinians have worsened their president donald trump washington has cut 251000000 dollars in financial support for palestinians it's also within $300000000.00 withdrawn rather $3000000.00 it used to give to the u.n. agencies supporting palestinian refugees and the u.s. under trump has closed the palestinian liberation organization's diplomatic mission and washington d.c. are bashar is and there is senior political analyst who's been following all of this and he joins us now from paris so. marwan what what what can the arab league

do what can the arab nations actually do to respond to the the clear almost desperation and anger that mahmoud abbas's is reflecting. well look theoretically underline theoretically they could simply reject the thrum plan after they've heard from president about us the very concerned party. in this whole affair and just basically stick to their own plan which is then internationally recognized as probably one of the more fair or more practical plans for peace in the middle east but theoretical of course is not practical practically the arab league is treading carefully rochelle it's treading carefully because on the one hand it does not want to appear like it is betraying the very

basic rights of the palestinian people certainly do not want to do that publicly in front of their own people on the other hand they find it quite difficult to unite around rejecting the trump plan so while they say they support the palestinian rights they don't say that means they reject the thrum plan because a lot of them are either dependent on american support or basically blackmailed by washington for the various vulnerabilities they have in the region which leaves us for possible language that could come up with something along the lines that we as we would support what the palestinian support our position will be what the palestinian position is we will accept what the palestinians accept if they do come up with such a position that would be quite a plus for the palestinian leader but what we've seen from some of the statements

during that meeting is that while some do accept the palestinian position and want to support it there were a few like the united arab emirates and behind who are already trying. open a crack by saying look we cannot we cannot reject this this is this is a fait accompli american position is important and the palestinians need to pick whatever is good in the throne plan and negotiate around it which of course the put a palestinian president has ordered responded to by saying look there's absolutely nothing nothing positive in this plan and that the door is closed shut for the spline in us far as the palestinians are concerned because in all the fundamental issues concerning the palestinians the american plan fail the basic test of honesty and rights. of us also talked about what he had donald trump

and and then he seemed to really be on board at 1st with the things that he was saying. and then he said that from there he felt that it eventually became clear to him that the donald trump actually didn't mean anything he said and in fact doesn't even know anything about the plan or the issues do you think when it comes to leaders other arab nations he's also will all say one thing and then say then say something else and it's really almost impossible to negotiate with them. no i mean the president our best has discovered 3 years late what the most american media press in the tauriel specialists in fact most americans have discovered a long time ago is that president trump cannot really trusted for his word because president trump is a political animal as it were and he will do whatever's necessary to get his way including if it's necessary deception this is of course you know something that's

not and part of an on the part of my analysis is almost a well known fact so for president abbas now to say he has been betrayed and this and that and trump basically stabbed in the back of course that shows a certain political navy k. when dealing with washington because as as the consensus now shows. trumps son in law which but it's called him the boy that man boy basically has copied netanyahu is planned netanyahu has ideas there's nothing american in the american plan it's an israeli plan repackaged as an american plan by jared question of the son in law of the president in favor of his guru the prime minister of israel. in part to help him get 3 elected for the 4th time and in part in order to serve american sort of israeli interest because again as we

all know from might be not knowledgeable or even indifferent on the question of his or palestine but his main advisors notably jared cushion his son in law are radical zionists fanatic zionists who are basically treading israel's line israel's right wing line on the question of palestine and hence we have this plan this plan that. generally theoretically could know we'd be accepted by any decent leader but again we live in a pragmatic world where a lot of those out of leaders meeting today are a lot of foreign ministers know all too well rejecting american pressures outright will come at a cost all right our senior political analyst for al jazeera marwan thank you plenty more head in the news hour including coming to terms with rex said northern

nationals i mean hey begins our coverage from hong kong. china's war against corona virus is being waged around the country as it spreads to every province and territory so far the virus is winning with the number of infections and deaths growing by the day on the front line in who province where the outbreak is thought to have started the challenges made greater by a shortage of medical supplies. on the track with the full support from the party central committee the state council and all the chinese people the shortage of medical supplies is eased to some degree but protective suits and losses and 95 masks are still in tight balance and have to be scheduled dalal there's not enough medical personnel either which the government is trying to address by sending thousands of extra doctors and nurses both civilian and military to a much of the provinces shut down as authorities try to contain the spread of the virus but supermarkets remain open and the government says it's trying to maintain

a steady supply of food at regular prices. we can ensure sufficient supply for daily necessities such as vegetables lamb beef pork in eggs in supermarkets as foreign nationals are evacuated from the provincial capital china's government has started bringing stranded nationals home from overseas the 1st charter flight arrived in hand from thailand amid reports of who bay residents being prevented from boarding commercial flights back to china in hong kong medical workers are threatening to strike next week unless the government does more to restrict the flow of travelers from the mainland while some border crossings have closed flights from chinese cities are still operating the latest official statistics show that on one day last week almost 10000 mainland chinese residents flew into hong kong it's that traffic that many people here want stopped the government says existing measures to control the outbreak are working and stopping the flow of people goods

isn't the answer but critics say unless hong kong follows the lead of some. other governments and closes its border with the mainland completely this city could be about to see a big increase in and fictions wayne hay al jazeera hong kong. world health organization's representative in china as warning there will be no relief from the spread of the virus in the near future this increase is mostly to continue because there are almost as many specimens waiting to be studied as the oil will give imports so. the numbers will continue to go out of there as alexia bryan is in bangkok where thai officials provided an update on the virus there. they have confirmed that the number of confirmed cases remains unchanged at 19 but the number of suspected cases here in thailand has jumped to 344 from 200 friday they're not saying that's because the virus is spreading much faster here it's

actually because they've widen the net they're now looking at people who have arrived from cities outside of the center of that outbreak but also thais who may have come into contact with chinese tourists for example because china is the biggest source of foreign tourists for thailand they have been about 2000000 people come through just in december and january since the outbreak began so if you have a look at the map behind me that has been a mess made up to show the outbreak as it stands at the moment that big red circle is and china's hu by province the as i said the same tour of that outbreak and down a little bit here you can see the red flashing dots that is bangkok and that's because the thailand has the 2nd number highest of cases 19 outside of china and also with already thailand remains the most at risk country outside of china because of the number of people traveling back and forth but that number 19 is dwarfed by the number of moves with me here of 11011300 that's the number of

global cases most of them though in china. after 3 and a half years of drawn out to bait delays and a vision the u.k. has finally left the european union a historic moment ending 47 years of membership was marked by both celebration and protest a minister boris johnson is now promising to bring the country together but he faces an uphill struggle as well as challenge reports from london. for those who see this is national liberation for those who see the e.u. was suffering t. sapping monster this is their moment 11 pm g.m.c. on january 31st 2020 britain is no longer part of the european union the foundation this country is built in the same. afternoon. i mean yesterday through the half years and a lot of children moaning about it something that the european union had

a lot of fault and had they been a bit more accommodating to david cameron this would have boris johnson he staked his political career on bricks it and won the prime ministership has marked it with an address to the nation when you look at the potential of this country waiting to be unleashed. that we can turn this opportunity into a stunning success and whatever the bumps in the road i do that we will succeed we have a baby with we've taken back the tools of self. never before has the e.u. had to do this it hopes it never will have to again experienced only an expansion now the e.u. has taken down a member's flag because it's left europe's leaders want to show that there's little to be gained from this we want to have the best possible relationship with the united kingdom but it will never be as good as membership.

to europe and for those who voted the main this is a moment of sadness and in a sign of the constitutional challenges ahead for the u.k. rex it is boosting the coals in scotland for independent study is very very sad and i think what really does though is it shows that there isn't really a future but in and europe and the way that we've enjoyed over the last 3040 years hand but it is a future for scotland you know but for the crowds in parliament square on friday nights the possible breakup of the u.k. is made do you mongering considered do you mongering to the concerns of britain should be too fussed about doing a deal with the european union that's all. i was. and this is that moment this is that night it doesn't the sky but with all the heavy lifting so to get out of trade relationship with the european union is just beginning to look to the brics it is just finished for the

countdown to the end of the transition period and little under a year's time well that's just begun for a challenge al-jazeera london. cross now to finding us live on the lamb which lambeth bridge pardon me i am in london so now that it's here i guess it's going to time to figure out what the real implications are and jane. that's exactly right people are now turning their attention to this transition period you're hearing about in rory's report ending at the end of 2020 and boris johnson there talking about making a success of it we're hearing in the british press that his approach to the negotiations with the you trade negotiators shortly will be to promise full customs and border checks on goods coming in from the e.u. to the u.k. as a strategy for a bit of

a more on the on the on the wisdom of this approach i'm joined by mo hussein who was advisor to the former prime minister david cameron what exactly do you make now of this seemingly different approach where as we've been hearing all along about no friction and things basically trying to go forward as smoothly as they can it seems to be quite a change doesn't it is quite a change and i think this is a negotiating tactic that we've had the end of the beginning so to speak where we have technically left but now the rest of it is to come in terms of war as if each relationship was a trading link is going to be like and i think the government is said and trying to portray this is very kind of technical and maybe a bit dull but it's not this affects every part of the economy and in fact people up and down the country so i think you will see a lot of negotiating tactics the deadline of the end of the year is certainly to focus mind as well and i think the calculation the government has made is very much

that there are 27 different countries all of which will have different priorities when it comes to trade in different parts of the economy so is there something in where can you maneuver through and try and get the best deal for the u.k. by maybe playing these people and the different countries off against each other so a lot to be played for in the months to come is it is it a bit surprising given the implications perhaps higher prices and so on and difficulties for people who rely on parts and so on from the e.u. . right from the beginning it is it definitely is why i think putting all these issues on the table as you have to do and then you have to look at where where is there a bit of flex and where is there something that you can gain instead so you know financial services on one side fisheries on the other side these are very different sectors and they will matter to people in different ways but the government has to try and find a balance and try and find the deal that satisfies all these different parts of the economy in the best way possible and that is

a challenge it's not going to be straightforward and what happens if it's not sorted out by the end of the year somebody people particularly the business world are still talking about a no deal brics it is a possibility is it technically yes it is a possibility by thing the thing to bear in mind is the withdrawal agreement has now passed that does have provisions in it around northern ireland around citizens' rights around the money that the e.u. will get so what we're talking about at the end of the year is nor no deal breaks in the same way that we were talking about it a few months ago this is about a trade deal and do we have a trade deal based on w t o terms or do we have something much more comprehensive and much more kind of all encompassing so there is a risk that we we believe without this kind of big bold trade deal but i don't think that is the same as a no deal breaks it thank you very much for your time well of course in the coming months not only will britain be negotiating with the e.u. but looking for that free trade deal with the united states as well big challenges ahead in terms of relations with the rest of the world but also with bringing

people together here in the u.k. are right and they involve a life for us and one of the thing thank you al-jazeera slightly isn't brussels a reaction from europe. as the last few days of course has been all sorts of warm language towards the u.k. from the european institutions please come back we'll really miss you all all that sort of thing despite of course the fact that for many 50 years the u.k. has been quite a grumpy and very critical member of the european union they've been prepared to ignore all that but has a bit more steel coming out now that the u.k. has formally left for example the president of the european commission asleep on the lay and tweeting this morning the last few years specie mean since the brics a referendum brought us in the e.u. closer together as nations institutions and as people that remind us how much stronger we are when we're together today marks a new dawn for the european union she says and say exactly the same ways that the u.k. saying it is a new dawn for britain europe is saying we actually are probably

a lot better off without this grumpy member of the club inside and we can move forward much more successfully without the u.k. and i think as well as that they'll be all of seen the gloating in london from brics it's as. overnight i think a lot of people in continental europe with will be thinking good riddance to those people and all that and all the nasty ways towards europe. one of the biggest challenges for the e.u. in the u.k. now that bracks it is done is northern ireland while it remains part huston's territory it also follows e.u. rules and many businesses relying on cross border trade with ireland that remains in the bloc don't know what the future holds they don't know how this is going to work brennan reports. port of belfast accounts for 64 percent of northern ireland's freights traffic half a 1000000 trucks a year pass through here fetching and carrying products between the u.k. mainland and the island of ireland but with ireland in the e.u. and the u.k.

now out new checks extra paperwork and added costs are inevitable we've grif concerns we've grif concerns about our business models with grave concerns about choice we've also grave concerns about affordability for northern ireland high so it's quite simply there calm before cost rises from fraction and what this plan has at the moment is lots of friction the amount and intrusiveness of the new customs declarations will form part of the transition negotiations we want to see want but there are a medication for this because to come across the irish sea the volume of trade on not i b b a hugely time consuming and expensive formality for drivers and businesses top to complete and we hope we'll be this common sense from both sides were we levy at the need for the. o'neals is a multi-million dollar sport to a company with factories in the north and the south and a manufacturing process built on frictionless movement between them. from the royal yard to the finished product here the shirts are nails go through

have been made is that it will be like a digital type order and you cross it seamless you hardly know you across but all of that adds a lot of cost i was long enough doing haulage to know what it was like to have to do customs papers to get through from here to dublin we had to we had 4 border crossings to do. and that was paperwork and we don't want to go back to that but it was a nightmare in the next 11 months of trade negotiations a specialized committee to represent northern ireland specific interests but the challenge is complex and time is short paul brennan al-jazeera belfast. firefighters in australia's capital are trying to control bushfires threatening cumbrous southern suburbs on friday authorities declared a state of emergency in the area conditions had been described as the most challenging for the region since 2003 when bushfires destroyed 500 homes.

259 people have now died from the virus on saturday china announced 46 new deaths. officially left the european union the u.k. now enters a transition period with the e.u. while a new trade agreement is negotiated a minister more strands and says the country is in a moment of national renewal. the stage is set for u.s. president donald trump to likely be equated in his in his impeachment trial and that's after the senate voted to block any witnesses from testifying drop is all but certain to be acquitted since the republicans have a majority in the upper house of the u.s. congress is accused of abuse of power and obstruction of congress for threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine and exchange for an investigation into his political rival joe biden just after the trump tweeted this no matter what you give to the democrats in the end they will never be satisfied and the house they gave us nothing castro has more from washington d.c. . democrats say the impeachment trial of president donald trump is the 1st trial in

u.s. history without witnesses is this a fair trial without the ability to call witnesses and produce documents the answer is clearly and unequivocally no but despite hours of arguments trying to convince republican senators to allow new witnesses in the trial the yeas are $49.00 the nays are $51.00 the democrats last all but 2 republican senators voted no it's a grand tragedy america will remember this day unfortunately where the senate did not live up to its responsibilities where the senate turned away from truth and went along with a sham trial democrats had hoped to get the support of moderate republican lisa murkowski but in the end she rejected the idea saying in a statement i have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the

senate i don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything it is sad for me to admit that as an institution the congress has failed this means the senate jury has essentially sealed its ears to john bolton chums former national security adviser in his soon to be released book bolton reportedly says trump asked him to help pressure ukraine for dirt on political opponents and it tied u.s. security aid to the request trump has denied the reports his attorneys argue even if true trump should still not be impeached so this idea that they haven't had witnesses. is that's the smokescreen you've heard from a lot of witnesses the problem with the case. the problem with their position is even with all of those witnesses it doesn't prove up an impeachable offense the articles failed the impeachment trial now nears its end with trump's acquittal all

but certain given that republicans hold the majority trumps political fate more likely lies in the hands of american voters who will decide in november whether to give him a 2nd term. castro al-jazeera washington. the race for the white house officially begins on monday in the state of iowa that some democrats will hold the 1st to begin the process of deciding who will eventually challenge donald and november alan fischer reports from iowa. they have been rallies and debates. that have been t.v. ads and looks over and there has been the traditional shaking of hands and kissing of babies but no the politicians are almost done the people will soon have their see the 1st presidential contest of 2028 the caucuses in iowa donald trump will win on the republican side that's a certainty the big story will be the democrats there have been 28 democratic presidential candidates that are 11 still left in the race many of them would have

thought they'd spend the summer campaigning across the country instead their campaigns will end here in the snows of america's midwest the conversations largely been dominated by discussions of joe biden senator bernie sanders senator warner and mayor people who did it and i think those are the 4 candidates that everyone is going to be watching but this state is known for producing surprises famously a little known senator called barrack obama won in 2008 and went on to the white house other long shorts of talk at the polls people who won the nomination who finished 2nd to 3rd you don't have to win year to be a winner the performance of who finishes 2nd and who finishes 3rd and 4th that can have an effect on the campaign as well moving forward you know certainly whoever comes out of iowa in 1st place if there really is a true victor is going to have wind at their back it's going to help them in new hampshire in nevada it might help them in south carolina but ultimately this is

a signatory to the 1997 mine ban treaty but most of the world is a total of $164.00 countries global production and exports of mines have been reduced and more than 10000000 have been destroyed but the latest figures show land mines killed more than 3000 people and injured more than 400-2018 and more than half of the victims are children are in conflicts and wars in afghanistan mali me and more nigeria syria and ukraine have the highest number of casualties but at least $31.00 countries signed up to become mine free and 5 of them algeria or 10 year montenegro and mozambique managed it within the last 5 years and respect as a spokesman for the campaign against arms trade he says trumpets are versing years of anti landmine policy. i think this is part of the trump narrative that the u.s. military needs to be upgraded that they need to spend more and more money i think this is all particles i think this is all going to be part of the broader election

strategy of trying to be the most military present it could be and there's a lot of damage has been done by the u.s. military that the u.s. has by far the highest military budget and he would a world and i think it would be incredibly already very concerned about a lot of times foreign policy moves that we've seen in recent years blasting we want to use another term chunk folan booboo same instincts landmines in the last day kill indiscriminately and we're already far too many of them we need to be moving landmines not between don't more which are another shooting at a protest against n.d.s. controversial new citizenship law a gunman opened fire on demonstrators in the capital new delhi he has been arrested or no reports of casualties like hamish just 2 days after one person was entering a shooting at another rally in the city law allows minorities from 3 neighboring countries to get citizenship but it excludes muslims. airstrikes on opposition held
