12:06 pm
this because the palestinians are the ones who will feel depression as well. guys, there is no hope for a final solution. we need no more conflicts and normal tension because the politicians on the 1st hand of the arabs on the 2nd hand are being effected and this will limit our joint work. so we need to be able to meet the needs of our people and the needs of the palestinian people. this is adventure from work and called the mission with jordan and out of countries. a's ongoing and older to have a vital reconstruction roses in gather and in the policy and territories
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
what do you think of this proposal? at the very beginning, let me say that jordan wanted comes to the senior cause jordan position. and stan is to help the palestinians is to support the palestinians to cooperate with our brothers in the impulse. fine and out of world to achieve peace for the palestinians. our contact with our brothers impala sly in our continuous go in good contact between hamas and olden during the last few weeks. out of there we call put it with the palestinian brotherly people. we discussed the situation with them with our position, which is the recognition of the palestinian state. we corporate with the palestinian leadership and with all our brothers in palestine. according to the
12:09 pm
normal relations between countries, we have contact. the main goal is to help and support our policy. senior brothers and jordan is doing what 8 can in this regard called the mission between jordan and the policy and the leaders ah, there is ongoing is continuous and we will do everything we will go for whatever it takes in order to help our policy. union brothers and to help the policy and to be able to get that full legitimate rights when it comes to jerusalem the occupied jerusalem is the capital of by the sign. the sovereignty on jerusalem is but his fine jordan will take care of the whole site. protecting jerusalem is joe damien, palace, dean and egyptian arabs,
12:10 pm
international responsibility because jerusalem is why it's important and resonant as squats. important to every one. so protecting jerusalem is an international responsibility. we need not to exit the by the situation, isn't him and we need not to one that hurt the feelings of muslims and christians and the region. of course, the journalism that matter is quite important to everyone in the world and in the muslim world, we need to keep the identity of the occupied jerusalem. and we need to maintain and keep the christian and muslim holy sites with the damien had been support and patronage of these holy sites. and jordan is doing
12:11 pm
a great job in this connection. the to damian guardianship is important and the the regent solution will keep your isn't and as incompetent to the palestinian state. we are committed to this solution that a lot will be this is part of the arab, the piece initiative as well. this issue is being dealt with with the settlement of the final solution. thank you very much. your excellent c. and we need to stress that we have agreed regarding the current situation. the cut out that tuition will never continue. the escalation can happen once again. if the roots are not dealt with, we need to put an end to the occupation. we need to give the palestinians their legitimate rights. this is the rule that we all depend on. now,
12:12 pm
me and my brother will be honored to meet his majesty the king. so thank you very much for all of you and welcome your excellency. once again in your company, jordan sent for the called the nation and for the corporation. i'm in safari, there in compensation with some issue create the egyptian foreign minister talking to his counterpart, the jordanian foreign minister, the palestinian cause is central to us. that was what the egyptians were saying. the relationship with the united states is important as well. mr. so far the saying the palestinian issue is the su in the middle east sought out the palestinian su and every other issue will fall into place. let's talk to james bass. diplomatic at it says so james, clearly across the region now a distinct sense of we have got to strike while the iron is hot, while people are still remembering what happened in gaza over those 11 days,
12:13 pm
up until 3 or 4 days ago. now. yes and both foreign ministers, barry, very keen to say that their positions were aligned and they were in total agreement on this issue. but then you look at it more detailed and their actual comments were clearly nuanced differences, which perhaps were understandable of the jo damian, foreign minister talking more about jerusalem jordan, the custodian of the early sites in jerusalem, both christian and muslim. the egyptians talking more about garza because egypt was the broker of that recent c swap in garza. and i think they're coming from different places in this, in the sense that egypt is found itself diplomatically on the outside since the start of the bio ministration for the last 4 months. in fact, the only 1st call that president biden a made to president c. c. was just before the seas fall was signed, he shunned him for a lot time. so the objections i think,
12:14 pm
are trying now to make the most of the situation that they find themselves in diplomatically to try and increase that diplomatic leverage. the jordanians, on the other hand, i think trying to make the best of what is not a very good situation for them. they are always under a great deal of pressure when there are problems regarding the palestinians. they have a very large palestinian population. they have a very delicate situation, even involving the royal family at home. there were protests by palestinians, right, the way up to the border of israel to the island be bridge. and i think digital damian's a well aware that when that sort of thing happens, it's difficult to control in that country and makes it a very delicate situation. not surprisingly, given the anger inside jordan, it was the jordanian foreign minister who is the toughest in his comments on israel, saying it was beat up in humane aggression that we saw over 11 days and also the jordanian foreign minister kind of not dodging
12:15 pm
a question about rejecting the relationship with hum ass, but when he answered the question, he didn't use the word hum, ass central though, isn't it? cuz somebody's got to talk to us. that is going to be the problem moving forward. it's gotta be the problem also with egypt because everyone is now saying that needs to be humanitarian aid 1st, then reconstruction aid. and that's where you get into the difficult problems. because we've heard in the last few hours, the israeli defense minister began saying that they want to funnel aid through the policy, you know 30, and they want to be very careful what they send in to garza. particularly with regard to building supplies and cement, to make sure it's used for rebuilding and not as he said for rebuilding tunnels. now, egypt in the past has also restricted building supplies going into the gods, gaza strip. and remember that you've got the u. s. also saying it's going to fund
12:16 pm
reconstruction. how is any of this going to work? certainly, the jordanian foreign minister said he saw some positive stances from the new biden administration in recent days. and i think they're all looking forward now to the visit, which is going to take place in today's time, wednesday and thursday to the region of the u. s. secretary state and to be blinking. they were asked whether be a tripartite meeting. so 3 different countries or meeting together, jordan, egypt, and the u. s. and they said that wasn't on the cards at this stage. we don't know the secretary blinking the exact schedule and where he's going and exactly what he's doing and who he's meeting. he does, the state department has said he's going to meet israelis and palestinians. we also think it's likely that he will pay a visit to caro, given egypt roll in the seas far. it's looking from what i'm hearing that it's unlikely he's going to go to jordan. on the one hand, james,
12:17 pm
what we're talking about now seems as if it's got the, the bone structure, if you will, to become a solidified newly energized quotes peace process. and yet, on the other hand, people seem, i don't know, seems a certain reticence or reluctance perhaps seized the right word to say we have now got a re energized piece process. what's going on that? well i, i'm not sure it is a piece process. there is a process here towards reconstruction in garza, and as secretary blinking talked in an interview on american tv in the last 24 hours, restoring dignity and hope to palestinians that is different giving aid, giving reconstruction support, trying to improve the lives of policy and to actually finding a permanent home, a permanent state for palestinians. and that of course is the impossible problem that diplomats have always failed to solve. it's so much harder than when we have the low a peace process and the level agreements because much of the land that was set
12:18 pm
aside for a palestinian state has been built upon by israel. so i'm not sure, and it's not clear, and we're going to see, i think when secretary blinking gets here, whether they're actually going to start a process that would lead to active negotiations between israelis and palestinians . i think they're talking about other things about making life the lives of palestinians better, but not necessarily progressing towards giving them a palestinian state or the yours see at the bottom of all the press releases from anyone in the international community. this disclaimer, we, we agree with a 2 state solution is always there at the bottom, but no one ever explains, given the current reality is how you're going to get that. james, thanks for that, james. base. diplomatic as are there in west jerusalem? ah, let's move on the amount supposedly to uncensored. she has appeared in court the
12:19 pm
1st time since the military coup in february, speaking through her lawyer, she said her national, the for democracy party would quotes continue to exist as long as people exist. lawyers meant that for about 30 minutes and said she did appear to be healthy, mister chief as his charges of incitement to sedition violating state secrets and other offences. before many facts lita has been under house arrest since the military took over well protest there are continuing as they have without a break since the coon sushi was awaiting her court. hearing around a 100 people, marched in the biggest city, young gone, big demonstrations have mostly been replaced by smaller protests with people dispersing quickly to avoid confrontations with the security forces. human rights group, say police and soldiers to kill all the 800 people since the protest began. lawrence louis is falling this from quite lumper florence. what's your reading of what we've been seeing in the courtroom today then? well i think it's significant that she's appeared in person. i previous court
12:20 pm
appearances had been virtual. she appeared via video conference link from her home in ne p door where she's been under house arrest since the 1st of february. i think it's most likely that she was allowed to appear in person been following the junior achievement on lang's interview on a chinese brought cost to a phoenix tv saying that she will appear in court in person. it's also quite significant that she was allowed to meet and speak to her, her lawyers for 30 minutes. they had previously struggled to even have a meeting with her in private. i think it's, it's an indication, possibly by the june to, to show that, you know. busy this trial, these charges that she's facing, everything is going to proceed as normal. of course, we know it's not going to be normal. the country is run like a military dictatorship. but that she was allowed to make these remarks and for these remarks to be made public, even though there through her lawyers. i think that's significant. a couple of days
12:21 pm
ago we had, or last week, late last week we had from the newly appointed chief of the election commission saying that her party, the nationally for democracy or n l d will be dissolved on grounds of electoral fraud. suji remarks, i think is to address that, but also it appears to give us as a state of mind, she appears defiant and unbowed. and also i think it's to give reassurance to has supporters, who no doubt i've been waiting to hear from her that you know that she is behind them and that they should continue the opposition to the military. genta florence. thank you very much. florence louis the join his life from qualon pot. e leaders calling for sanctions against bella ross after what they say was the hijacking of a commercial aircraft loose has been accused the facing a bomb threat to force a passenger jet to land. in order to season opposition journalists,
12:22 pm
roman protests of which poor brennan joyce's life, he's tracking european reaction. so pull the e a. you clearly shocked that you can allegedly, in effect hijack a civil aircraft full of passengers because you want to get your hands on a journalist that you don't like. the reaction has been frankly done, found that, that the bell, russian authorities infected television president lucas shanker, appears to have ordered this personally. beller is state media said that he personally ordered the jets to intercept this ryan a passenger jet just before it crossed from bella. she space insulin, uranium space apparently was just 6 miles from the lithuanian border and tenant around, i'm bring it back to min square. this activist could be arrested. the reaction has been well across the board condemnation here in london. don't rob, who is a foreign secretary, has as condemned it,
12:23 pm
and as the strongest possible actions that can be brought to bear the lithuanian president. of course, where the plain was headed has described to state sponsored terror act and proposed branding valuation planes from european space. the foreign policy chief, joseph burrell said it was get another blatant attempt by the belly, russian, or 13th to silence or opposition voices. and the ryan chief executive micro. larry has also said it was just, it was state sponsor piracy. well, 3 action. well, what are they going to do about it? well, the europe in council, which is the gathering of european union leaders, has the space and heads of government meeting in brussels. russia was already on the agenda, and now this will be very much towards the top of the agenda as well in the close relationship between russia and beller. roost of course, means the russian influence is very important. i have to say the european union does not have a great track record on foreign policy,
12:24 pm
but specifically with russia. you will recall, i think, february's disastrous diplomatically visit by just that burrell to moscow, where he was frankly humiliated by the russian foreign minister. such a lover of and it resulted in a tit for tat expulsion of diplomat. so your opinion does not have a great track record in dealing with russia. but they clearly know that this cannot go on, answered the diversion of an aircraft flying between 2 european union destinations, flying over the non u. s. space and being essentially grabbed out of the for the purposes of politics. full many things pull brendan, they're reporting live on that developing story out of london. assess banks accused of war crimes in sedans, da for conflict has appeared before the international criminal court for the 1st time ali abdel rahman is charged with $31.00. comes all crimes against humanity, including rape and the killing of civilians. he was a leader in the jewish militia when the war began in 2003. the conflict between
