together which will then essentially decide whether or not the prime minister has the confidence of the political establishment but in the meantime what we're seeing on the streets are just within the protest movement we're seeing on the one hand you didn't you came out today opposing allow we are on the other hand we have the followers of here on a cloudy smoke set aside at one time now we're supporting and protecting the protest movement and they have come out in support of allowing what it seems to be happening now is that makes us better off for still has to wait behind them out here and try to basically limit any opposition in the streets to allawi so we have to see how that will play out but we're seeing a lot of opposition to allowing among the protesters among the students and they are determined to keep going until their demands are met and these demands are a complete overhaul of the political system and an independent candidate who does that sort of not represent the political establishment that isn't so far. syria's

into gars urn put 500 business permits on hold it's another setback for those in the strip who live in dire conditions after 30 year 13 years of blockade stephanie decker has more from gaza city. news of u.s. president donald trump's so-called deal of the century reached 1500 kilometers away here in northern gaza after all this is where it's all about. which is more concerned with providing for her 6 children cooking gas is the latest shortage so she has to cook outside using collected wood lot. of people want to be able to feed their children to have a dignified life and a future for their kids some people went out to protest against the deal sure but what's more important for us is better living conditions hopefully one day things will get better. but there is no sign of that israel's blockade of

gaza is into its 13th here which is supply is sporadic as is electricity sanitation is an issue and there is widespread poverty and unemployment the sharp with in the job. people need solutions. jobs to be able to provide for their families everyone has taken out loans and can't repay them i've only had one client since this morning. our own 2000000 people are stuck here in the gaza strip a tiny shut off piece of land where no one can leave without. permission and most people have never left at all the united nations issued a report 8 years ago predicting that gaza would become quote unlivable. it is 2020 and still no political solution in sight and judge tells me that this plan offered no new ideas and nothing that the palestinians could take as a starting point to work with this will lead more and more. anger for more.

actions from the different political groups from the individuals. there's been a slight increase in cross border tensions in the last few days a cycle of escalation and shaky truces that everyone here has had to become used to . reiterated what so many others have told us to people are fed up with their leaders. i blame the officials who are sitting on their chairs and don't care about us even her masters and care about us they're enjoying the good lives in their homes while our children congress. gaza needs a long term political solution one that allows freedom of movement and the building of infrastructure needed to sustain 2000000 people one day creates jobs and opportunities people tell us they just want to be able to breathe but what this so-called deal of the century does manage to do is highlight just how very far off

that political solution is stephanie decker al-jazeera gaza. now there have been protests outside the u.s. embassy in lebanon hundreds gathered in beirut to rally against the proposed middle east plan demonstrators set fire to a barrier outside the compound as lebanese troops and riot police looked on. protest is calling a deal that will see israel palm $10000000000.00 worth of gas into the country and the me invasion. has a peace treaty with israel it's also home to the largest palestinian population outside the occupied territory that's actual aim has been speaking to those rallying against the deal and on mine. protesters describe it as an enemy invasion of every jordanian home by accepting natural gas from israel to generate electricity they say each time they turn on their lights they'll be giving

the israeli government money does deal is like literally it's like funding the zionism project in palestine which is like it's funding is really like governments on like who are like you know violate the human rights and like it killed by the syrian people last month and israeli american consortium began pumping natural gas from a pipeline in the mediterranean sea to jordan since the public 1st learned about the deal in 2014 protesters ranging from palestinian refugees to members of parliament have united in opposition to the free and poor we cannot exchange our community at the kind of change our rights will with their wealth with with anyone and this is what we when we think we can survive jordan relies on imports to meet its energy needs it also survives on foreign aid it's waiting for the i.m.f. to inject a loan into its economy the government says this 10000000000 dollar 15 year deal

with israel is the cheapest cleanest and most reliable option it has at the moment that it could decrease the cost of electric bills which jordanian say is too high. jawad and is a former deputy prime minister he says until. jordan can become energy independent the israeli pipeline offers the best alternative it will be pumped as guess and it will reach us as guests so there is more news to liquefy and we get the fight. and that would have saved so much on course as long as there's a nice peace with jordan and think of jordan stability as. helpful to the disappeared. i don't that they would work with actually and corrupt the guest supply protesters remain unconvinced and say they'll continue to try to

halt the deal but public opinion may shift if you're a genius electricity bills start getting cheaper natasha going to aim al-jazeera men and this trail has been transporting gas to its other neighbor egypt since january the 20 1000000000 dollars deal is seen as one of the most important since the 2 countries signed the peace treaty 4 decades ago it's flowing through a pipeline under the sinai peninsula israel's government says it wants to become what it calls an energy superpower in the region expanding exports further to india and europe in the future in the u.s. democratic hopefuls are making their final pitch to voters ahead of monday's presidential nominating process all 11 candidates are in the state of iowa which has traditionally served as a vital launching point or burial ground for presidential campaigns there is no

clear front runner in this vast field but polls suggest senator bernie sanders has a narrow only former vice president joe biden both sanders and biden of use their rallies to take a swipe at president donald trump. i think the saying that we cannot continue having residence we is a kind of logical i was told thousands and thousands of lies to see the president we cannot say that ministration which he's. not out to destroy should wish things like. the rule of law. and a moment like this a president's credibility is very much in need and so when it comes to credibility president trumps bank account is thoroughly bankrupt because he lies about everything no matter how big or small it is in america people people around the

world will find it harder and harder to believe what he says. well so far all we've only heard from the u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls but on monday and i was devices get their 1st chance to take part they'll need to more than 1600 sites to make that choice iowa is a small state but it's important in the election process whoever wins that could have huge momentum al-jazeera as john hendren explains. every 4 years iowa jealously guards the gateway to the white house iowa has done a good job of narrowing the field and i think iowans know we aren't selecting the nominees or selecting the president we're helping test who has a good message that resonates across the parties who will do well on a national stage in iowa votes in its own peculiar way the iowa caucuses here at the state historical museum of iowa what they're trying to explain it with an exhibit it works like this unlike political party primaries run by the state with

secret ballots driven by t.v. ads for the iowa caucuses are run by the democratic and republican parties for republicans by secret ballot for democrats publicly. iowans demand hand to hand contact iowa his turn underdogs like jimmy carter and barack obama up into winners. and bernie sanders headquarters there looking to redeem a stinging loss in 2016 and the self-proclaimed socialist revolutionary and establishment candidate joe biden are trading front runner status. the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries and secret ballots republicans will caucus to mostly for president donald trump democrats will argue for their candidate they'll bicker and vote this year iowa has new rules some caucuses are so

small voters putting name in a hat if any of those candidates get less than 15 percent of the vote those votes are toss. now and those voters pick their 2nd choice but this year there's a twist in order to be more transparent we democrats are disclosing not just the delegate total but also the wrong vote totals so conceivably more than one candidate could claim victory that means the effort to be more transparent could lead to more confusion. the caucuses are often criticized as not particularly representative in a largely white agricultural state nor democratic with low turnout dominated by political activists i do feel that it's unfair to a lot of people who are able to take away from take time off of work to participate in it but because it 1st iowa sways the nation give people with fewer resources the opportunity to present themselves and eventually get the

resources that they need to run in the bigger places from these frozen fields someone will carry the momentum to the next states and just possibly the white house john hendren don't you see or des moines iowa. let's take you through some of the headlines here now just there are now nearly 1500 chinese military medics are being deployed to a newly built hospital to treat coronavirus patients the death toll is now 300 and for more than 14000 cases of infection exists the u.s. government is offering assistance to china this is a worldwide concern we want to help our chinese colleagues if we can and that will say we've made the offer and what it will say if they accept the offer but but this is this is serious a serious for china and serious for the region and for the world that's why we're taking the steps were taken to protect americans right now. police in london have

shot a man dead after 2 people were injured in a stabbing attack troll post and police describe it as what they call a terrorism related incident that happened on a busy high street in the southern suburb of stratham catherine stance or is that. the response was incredibly quick and within an hour they declared a terrorist incident witnesses who were here a say that he was wearing metal canisters around his vest around his chest so police pushed everyone away very quickly. just in case there is any further danger police have not confirmed whether or not this was a viable explosive device or not. and at the moment they're not giving us any further information on not protesters in iraq denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister they've been marching in several cities including baghdad

nasiriyah and now just former communications minister mohammed he was named prime minister designate on saturday the turkish military is send another convoy towards italy province in syria that's where government forces backed by russia are intensifying an assault against rebel forces activists say 9 people were killed by strikes on sunday u.s. democratic hopefuls are in iowa for the 1st votes in the presidential race party members will choose their preferred candidate or monday every states will hold a vote over the next 6 months and their nominee will be confirmed the democratic national convention in july those are the headlines the news continues here now desir of the inside story.
