around the outbreak but we missed. the listening post on al-jazeera. a global pandemic mass protests demanding change economic recession and geopolitical tensions not to mention the small matter of a looming election join me steve clemons in conversation with leading voices on the bottom line your weekly take on u.s. politics and society on al-jazeera. you watch it all jews are with me so horribly reminder of our top stories the world health organization has reported a recording creates a global credit virus cases with over 180000 new infections or something brazil has

passed 50000 something to create a virus as i grow just at present tribal sonorities response against you you supported something separatists have seized control of the island of the culture of the southern transitional council says it's taken over government facilities and the face of the gulf coast 7 side effects government is calling it a coup. and libya's you would recognize government has warned egypt that any move to interfere in its internal affairs would be seen as a blatant declaration of war on saturday egyptian president of the sisi said his country had a legitimate right to intervene but egypt's foreign minister says his country but it's a political solution to the conflict. israel is a few days away from beginning to annex nearly a 3rd of the occupied west bank but as the july 1st start date is set by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and it approaches a workable plan remains unclear the u.s. is backing the annexation if there's anyone who can reach agreement with his

coalition partner benny gantz are a force that reports. benjamin netanyahu has plans for an accession have already been delayed he was told to slow down by the white house after the unveiling of the trump plan in january now they're being complicated by the differences with his former rival now coalition partner benny gantz who's called for coordination not just with the u.s. but also with arab neighbors. the trump plan and visit israel an extinct 30 percent of the occupied west bank with a future palestinian state given israeli territory elsewhere israeli officials have leaked various options in the media one has to begin with some or all of the major illegal settlement blocks ario ma'ale adumim and the etzion bloc near bethlehem the mare of a fraught with in the etzion bloc argues for moving quickly and taking what's been put on the table by the us administration and i think prime minister that i now understand that you can't postpone such an opportunity knowing that there will be a better one in the future because i don't recall ever in the past having such an

opportunity i don't think he'll give it up to a 2nd option though fraught with risk given jordan's vehement opposition to any annexation would be to begin with the jordan valley israel says it needs a defined defensible eastern border here but it has economic interests to $11000.00 israeli settlers live in the illegal jordan valley settlements using disproportionate water allocation for a year round agriculture 85 percent of the land is off limits to palestinians and it's here in the jordan valley that benjamin netanyahu is finding some of the store just opposition to his plans for annexation to the truck plant as a whole and it's coming from a powerful settler leaders here they're lobbying against annexation based on the trump plan because it means agreeing in principle to a palestinian state. ought if the meaning of extending sovereignty is to get a palestinian state we say no thank you we give up on sovereignty we keep living as we are right now out of national responsibility because

a palestinian state would endanger the existence of the state of israel. perhaps the least likely option of all the one still floated in the mess and you know friendly newspaper would be to start with the 15 so-called enclave settlements these would be small israeli islands within the trump lands palestinian state for the palestinian leadership the precise nature of the 1st step doesn't matter any annexation is illegal and must be stopped what we hope is that israel should not continue to be above and got a national law. what we haul is that there really is that should feel very good of pressure for any of the options to happen 1st the united states says gansu netanyahu need to agree potentially giving got some leverage in his argument against unilateral moves. but netanyahu has leverage of his own in the form of rising poll numbers if gaps doesn't agree to an accession he could simply engineer another round of elections are a force at al-jazeera in the occupied west bank. u.s.

president donald trump says he would consider meeting venezuela's president nicolas maduro despite his administration's campaign to oust him from leadership trump made the comments to us a new side axles he says he's having 2nd thoughts about his decision to recognize opposition leader one as the legitimate president of the on his way or trump says he has turned previous opportunities to meet with her own but wouldn't rule them out in the future and donald trump's decision to hold a campaign rally against the advice of medical experts is coming under growing criticism at least 6 members of the u.s. president's campaign staff tested positive for corona virus before the gathering began and ahead of his tell all book release former released former national security adviser john bolton repeated his allegation that the president is more focused on reelection than public health as mike hanna reports. federal court ruled his books publication could go ahead john bolton was once again in the spotlight.

the former national security advisers book will be released to the general public on tuesday among the many statements critical of his former boss that obstruction of justice is a way 'd of life in the white house a view he says was shared with others in the president's inner circle look these were things that i could see some evidence of and they bothered me greatly members on both sides of the aisle in congress remain shop be critical of bolton his refusal to give evidence an impeachment proceedings and his apparent willingness to profit from his criticism of john bolton is a political opportunist any profiteer he had the opportunity to step forward and participate in the house impeachment inquiry and share any information that he had about wrongdoing by president trump and other members of his administration and he declined the problem is that when you're selling a book you're not putting yourself in

a position to be cross-examined so for 2995 you can monetize as national security clearance but under oath he would have an opportunity to answer questions and i just make assertions the white house has made clear it is contemplating civil or criminal charges against bolton but apparently unruffled by this threat he continued to lash out at president trump i don't think he's fit for office i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection other critics point to the president's decision to go ahead to the campaign rally in tulsa as evidence of his willingness to put people at risk in advancing his political agenda his supporters in oklahoma and to through scanners and temperatures were taken but you wore mosques in accordance with government health guidelines including children. and of course the president refuses to do so

the highest risk gatherings are those that are large indoors where people can stay apart from each other more than 6 feet and where people travel from out of town 6 campaign staffers tested positive before the rally even began the incubation period is estimated to be up to 2 weeks so the president could be holding another rally or any infections during this one a fully accounted for. you organizers say they had been at the cations for a 1000000 tickets if so the bus majority of those who applied stayed away the shuttle speeches by president and vice president to the expected tens of thousands in the oval area were abruptly canceled a possible sign that while the president may act as if the pandemic is over many of his rank and file followers are not my kind of al-jazeera washington. if europe is foreign minister has accused egypt of trying to interfere and destabilize

ethiopia's internal affairs over the controversial ground renee sold the $4600000000.00 project is under construction on the blue nile and could affect water supplies for millions of people in ethiopia egypt and saddam the 3 countries are yet to agree chin agreement on the dams operation with saddam warning against escalation and calling a further negotiations they took their politicos to politico's cairo always seeks to exploit the differences within ethiopia and interfere in our internal affairs they try to open the door for anyone who opposes the ethiopian government and provide them with direct and indirect support the egyptian agenda is based on destabilizing ethiopia we have that documented they have tried everything under the sun either directly or in directly through their agents and allies we see how they act when they disagree with our neighbors they race to ignite sedition and fuel strife and divisions everyone who opposes us is dear to them were welcomed and

honored in cairo and they give them media more again despite all of this we never not a single day dealt with egypt the way they deal with us we treat them always with discipline and diplomatic behavior no precious government in ethiopia ever meddled in egypt eternal affairs. violence at the border between sudan and ethiopia has lost several people wounded the attorney. saw sudanese militias clash with the ethiopian army is the 3rd break of violence at the border this year and is less than a month after the previous attack. canadian police of warned an exiled sidey dissident that his life may be in danger the guardian newspaper reported the lizzie's was told he is a potential target of the saudi government he was warned to take precautions of the lizzie's was a close associate of saudi journalist. he was killed by saudi operatives in turkey in 2080. un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings agnes

cullen maher says on twitter that the report isn't surprising she said that if there are consequences for saudi arabia the kingdom will continue to threaten and silence dissidents she also question why side arabia is still being allowed to host an upcoming g 20 summit. me is the director of the middle east studies at the university of denver he says these incidents will continue as long as saddam doesn't face consequences for the international community. it's clear that the saudi crown prince has learned nothing from the murder innocent person a sion of jamal which oh gee and he's once again on the prowl and this i think unless he's stopped it sends a message to all of the or terry regimes around the world that they can also imprison they can also intimidate and go after dissidents wherever they may be living the saudi crown prince is acting like a schoolyard bully who will continue to act aggressively until there are

consequences to his behavior and if you look back over the last roughly 2 years since the murder of jamal there have been really no serious consequences for the saudi crown prince he continues to. intimidate dissidents he continues to have very close relations not just with the trumpet ministration but with many other western liberal democracies that claim to uphold human rights none of them have taken a serious position they continue to sell arms to saudi arabia they continue to have work very warm relations and this november most of those leaders of western liberal democracies that claim to uphold international law and human rights will be travelling to riyadh for the g 20 summit so i think this is part of the problem saudi arabia has also announced a major crackdown on broadcast piracy warning infringements could be met with large fines or jail time now the issue has been a sticking point in its proposed $370000000.00 takeover of english football club at newcastle united one of the main potential stumbling blocks is that they will trade
