5:02 pm
hostilities and reduce tensions. egypt foreign minister shook his in ramallah for talks for the palestinian authority. and here he was in georgia and both pharmacist said it's important both israel and palestine respect the cease fire agreement. his roof was mister egypt and george and we'll continue working together to keep an uphold the legitimate rights of the palestinian people. we will insure the creation of a palestinian state with eastern cities as its capital. the palestinian cause is central to the conflict and the people there have sacrificed. a lot of our international regional partnerships are important to create the proper atmosphere to resolve the issue and learn about the priority now is to coordinate and guarantee the truth is always respected and that there is no repetition of the israeli violations that exploded to the situation. and i am once again warning against the israeli siege of chic shara, it is very unwanted because this will escalate matters again. the issue over the
5:03 pm
illegitimate displacement of people must be dealt with and the international community must never elaborate. the violations at alaska mosque must also stop on our diplomatic editor, james base is joining us from west to jerusalem. james must be a lot of speculation about what can actually be achieved during anthony lincoln's visit, given the level of distrust. of course, there is on both sides in the fact that nothing seems to have changed since the seas far began. know, in many ways we are back to the old status quo. this though, is the 1st visit by a senior official from the biden administration. now, in office for 4 months and the formal announcement we've known about the visit for days, but the formal announcement to the visit, which came a couple of hours ago, came in a press release from the white house. president biden issuing a statement declaring that this visit was about to take place and the visit will
5:04 pm
take place in the matter hours. and i think that putting the personal imprint of the president on it, showing that sex treat blinkin, his talk, foreign policy official, has his, the president of dorothy, when he's here on this particular trip. the statement from the white house said that it was on the railey side, going to reflect the iron clad commitment that the u. s. has to israel security. and on the palestinian side, it said they were going to rebuild ties with palestinians after years of neglect. so that setting the scene, i think from the white house, for lincoln's visits, also in the last hour or so. there has been a briefing to reporters state department reporters by a senior administration official. now that i think was interesting because lots of those reporters asked the obvious question, which is yes, you're talking about humanitarian aid. yes, you're talking about reconstruction and funding to help palestinians. but what
5:05 pm
about the fundamental problem? what about trying to get a 2 state solution? what about restarting negotiations between direct negotiations between israelis and palestinians? of those questions we're all batted away with exactly the same answer. we're focusing right now and making sure the seas fostex. james, as i mentioned before, egypt foreign ministers, i'm sure creek is in ramallah for talks for the palestinian authorities. he previously today held talks with the jordanian foreign minister. it's significant business. but those talks are taking place, a hand all the us secretary of state arriving well, they are exactly the people that the us secretary of state is going to be meeting. he is going to be meeting, we think, in this order, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. then he's going to go and see balancing, you know, 30 president boss. that'll be the 1st day of his visit. and the 2nd day of the visit, we understand he'll be going to caro. i assume speaking to president cc and others
5:06 pm
that then ending the visit in jordan. well, i'm assume he will speak to officials there and possibly have a meeting with the king. it's almost as though some of the key players who will be meeting mr. blinking, wanted to speak together to get their position straight before meeting him. and of course was telling you who that who is not meeting. of course secretary blinking will be continuing the long standing policy of the u. s. a. not meeting hamas, so meeting everyone other than one of the most important players. james, thanks very much. indeed. that's james base diplomatic editor in west jerusalem. there's been a stopping attack in occupied east jerusalem israeli forces say the attackers be killed. one soldiers died. another one is injure him. i'm con. has more from occupied east tucson. well, there was a stabbing incident not far away from where i'm standing on the bar live road outside the national police headquarters to soldiers was stopped by palestinian
5:07 pm
israeli police say the senior man stop the soldiers was neutralized for that. reed, he was shot dead. it's only adding to the atmosphere and the tension in occupied history. islam in the last 15 minutes or so. fire and lots of police cars, grace light, i plus all me very close out on the street. but let me show you what that tension looks like. in reality. the border guards, sorry, the israeli police that you can just see questioning a man in orange. they've come out of the board post that god post rather which is where they normally say they've come out in front of damascus gate. and what they doing right now is searching any palestinian under the age of $45.00. they weren't doing the earlier on in the morning. this is post the incident that it's likely that they're going to be there for more of the day. and it's this kind of thing, palestinians say, is something that makes life incredibly difficult. but clearly, israel says, well,
5:08 pm
if they're all subbing incidence taking place, the security of all people is foremost your be leaders are accusing by the rules of hijacking. and piracy offered forced a passenger plane to land and then detained an opposition activist. the jet was diverted after reports of a bomb threat that calling for sanctions and an investigation into the incident which has been described as unacceptable port brendan has more the interception of ryan at flight 4978 is now a full blown international diplomatic crisis. salary, state media offense, president lucas shank personally ordered a military just to escort the passenger plane away from a shed your roots and diverted to minsk. it's an act with european leaders have branded state sponsored piracy, and there is now intense pressure for stone response flight track. as sites shared the ryan our flight from athens to vilnius change course, just 2 minutes from the lithuanian border. bella luce traffic control had flagged
5:09 pm
a supposed bama le to the aircraft, then scrambled a fight to jeff. to make doubly sure, the plane came to minsk. the target of the extraordinary intervention with this man, roman protests, of which an opposition journalist and blogger, who fled dollars after president lucas shanker. claim victory and last august disputed election fellow passengers on the plane say he reacted to the interception 1st with disbelief and then resignation. one minute it was like point negotiate me just to all but nothing to do, but i feel that i didn't find him real, something like that. the incident will dominate the summits of european leaders gathering in brussels. later on monday, nato will consider its response when it meets on tuesday, there are demands for yet more sanctions against lucas shank and his closest officials, as well as call to suspend all transit from dollars. if you look, the shanker is sort of testing the,
5:10 pm
the tolerance of the you showing that he can get along with, even at the, at the bed grounds of a strange relations with the west and being under sanctions and condemnation. and his legitimacy is not recognized by you literature can still make this powerful moves prosecuted his opponents, even those who managed to escape route. alexander lucas shanker has been fellows, president, since 1994, a leader described in some quarters of europe last dictator. the man who has a record of harshly repressing defense, if he is strongly supported by his ally, russia. he is the place, the trump card thing that we together with russia, against the west, against the bunker senior bureau. and that's what he's playing, and he is playing this card in order to ensure a russian support russian money and russian influence in light of very mild and
5:11 pm
very appeasing sanctions or grew up in america. it's down and at $125.00 passengers departed from athens, and only $121.00. arrived in vilnius lending credence to reports, the protests of which had been followed onto the plane by bella, roost intelligence agents. the middle interception is looking less and less like an opportunistic act, a more like a planned and coordinated snatch operation. and the dilemma for the west is how to respond to that whole brennan al jazeera. russia says the west reaction is shocking and accuses the west of hypocrisy. the foreign minister says bella says evidence which shows minsk, acted within international aviation law. latisha was still going 30. we are in favor of assessing the situation. not in a rush, not in a hurry on the bias of all available information reach well over the representative of the foreign ministry of ballard straits. the readiness of the bella, russian authorities to act in this matter transparently follow all international
5:12 pm
rules. and if necessary to ensure the reception of international expert, i think this is an absolutely reasonable approach. us miramar, defacto leader, also. so she has appeared in court for the 1st time since the february to speaking through her lawyer. she set her national leave for democracy, party would continue to exist as long as people exist. the lawyers met her for about 30 minutes and said she appeared healthy. so she faces in charges of instruct them to sedition, violating state secrets and other offences. she's been under house arrest since her government was overthrown. david matheson as an independent analyst on me and he says suit she has been targeted earlier, but this time young citizens are not likely to accept the military move. i think she's probably at the same level of risk that she's paying for the park more than 30 years. i mean, we're entering the full decade of this kind of military regression against or off
5:13 pm
that she's, she's been here before. it was 12 years ago that she was trying to extend her how to rest order so that she couldn't run in the, in the election. i think this is a very dangerous game that the military client and i don't think many people in the country are going to put up with them. and for at least many people, they will rally around on that and, and other leaders of the day and not put up with it. and then the military is going to all these other people in the country that a furious that they want to fighting back in any different way. in many respects, this is a much messy, a more complicated resistance to military rule than i think the capital, the both of the st and several and for many older people, supporters of the data being through this before the party was made illegal and was subject great repression during the night, not to them, and many members incarcerated and tortured and even an even keel. so for a lot of older support, this is form a very good
5:14 pm
a date for this before. but for all the 1st time voters and others, the youngest supporters of the day, they're going to say that's what it is, which is a nice paragraph on the part of the motor that's discredit authenticity and the party. and i don't think people will so had an i'll just hit the world's top court holds its 1st healing on death for one of the leaders of the johns. a weed armed group is accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, nuclear negotiations. iran exchanges monitoring agreements with the un watchdog for one month. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello, right off the bat. we're going to start in the bay of bengal where this disturbance has formed into a psychotic storm and it will continue to intensify over the next little while

5:19 pm
a truly important moment for those who suffered the crimes to have access to just se, but let's not forget that today's case and the proceedings in today's case are one piece of a larger puzzle and i'm thinking here of the out standing fugitives, former president and omar this year, and 3 others who are still stopped by the international court to face charges for dark work crimes as well. and we are looking to the student is authorities to transfer those remaining suspects to the international criminal court. iraq is told the you nuclear watchdog. it will extend a monitoring deal with the agency for a month. the 3 months deal agreed in february was said to end this month around and told the regulator it would no longer have access to data from some of its nuclear facilities. once the agreement had expired. the equipment and the verification and

5:21 pm
united states and the western powers is that you have one month now. the 24th of june deadline retake iran and those countries past the presidential elections we just set to take place at the end of june run 18th of june. so it does give them a short timeframe. but iran has said that they are close to reach in some sort of agreement, but iran position still remains the same. they went all thanks and lifted before they returned to their commitment. as part of that 2015 nuclear deal, iran also wants to verify that those sanctions have been lifted. and if an agreement is reached, then the i a e, a, the axis will be reinstated. there's been another unprecedented twist in the political crisis dripping the pacific island nation of similar. now, the leader of the opposition fast party has been sworn in his prime minister joining an ad hoc ceremony that a rival says was unconstitutional. alexia bryan reports. sienna, not only mother, after took the oath of office and attained outside samo parliament. she was due to
