that the government is now trying to close, extrapolate that across the country, and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than anyone thought. ah, the u. s. secretary said arrives in the middle east for talk, same to protecting a fragile the spine. the maria here in the world news from out of the united nations is calling for the relief of molly's president prime minister and defense minister all 3 of been arrested by the military full for the you announced the sanctions again to better re so over the forced landing of a passenger jets and the arrest of an opposition activist, thousands,

hundreds of thousands of people, a force from their homes in india is a powerful fine clone. heads to the east coast. ah. so the us secretary state is in israel meeting the prime minister benjamin netanyahu this morning as there is an effort to turn the sci fi between israel and hamas into a lasting truce. anthony blink, and this is him arriving in telephone a few hours ago meetings with the israelis. he then goes on to visit the occupied west bank, where he will hold talks with the palestinian authority. president mahmoud abbas will be speaking to harry faucet in gallons or in a moment, gaza some were. antony blanket is not going starting without diplomatic, edited james bayes in western when take us 3, james, if you would a little more of this itinerary for today. well, as you say,

he's meeting the israeli prime minister right now. that's behind closed doors of course, but we are going to see them. we think in about 30 minutes time because they're going to be coming out and speaking to reporters about what they've been discussing . then later in the day, various other places that the sector state is going. but the key meetings all then with the president of the policy and authority, mahmoud abbas in ramallah. and that's important because the policy authority hasn't seen a us secretary of state for quite a long time. because remember, the deterioration with the trunk of the relations with the trump administration deteriorated very, very badly after the cushion a plan was announced. and basically all contact was stopped for the last 3 years, also of the trumpet administration. and this is the 1st meeting of the bible ministration. so for the policy, you know, authority, a very important day to try and speak to the newish secretary of state and get his

ear. and of course, that's not the end of this visit. the visit is a regional visit and he's going to go on to car on wednesday morning where he'll be meeting we think president cc and then he's going to go to amman and jordan. well, we think he's going to meet king abdullah, so that is the that is the, the 2 day visit compress to day visit. keep meeting all the key players. of course the obvious one that he's not meeting is going to god's room meeting come out. we'll talk to harry about that in a moment. i'm just thinking, james, as you described all of that, this is good for the panel thing that you say the fact that the united states is re engaging with the palestinian authority. but i mean, i wonder if any of this would have even really happened if there hadn't just been 11 days of conflict in gaza. i wonder that to because the original plan from the, by the ministration. if you look at anything that they've said about the shape of

the world where their priorities were, was not really to get involved in this a tool. they felt that this conflict is not one where they could make major inroads . and they had other things that they wanted to talk about climate change pulling out of afghanistan, re igniting, or read, read, getting back into the iran nuclear deal, looking at how to deal with china, how to deal with russia. this was not on the agenda tool and if it was, it was very low down. clearly it's forced itself back up the agenda by those 11 days of conflict that 11 days of bombardment of gaza. but i don't think that necessarily means that the u. s. policy has really changed and we're hearing from the u. s. yes. they want humanitarian aid into gaza. they want reconstruction money for gaza because going to take a little bit of working out because of course, of the reconstruction material and funds have to eventually go to gaza where mass

rule the roost. but what they're not talking about. and there was a briefing of state department reporters with a senior administration official in the last 24 hours and they asked repeatedly, what about the piece process? what are you going to do about the piece process? are you going to reactivate active negotiation between these writings and palestinians? and the questions that came were repeatedly brushed off with no wait, but now our focus is trying to make the seas fall hold. so it seems to me, the original policy is still there, which is basically yes, make things better for the palestinians in the daily lives. but basically keep a lid on this conflict without doing anything to solve it. slow movement, isn't it? ok, thank you. james bass didn't matter, get his her in west jerusalem today now to gather and harry forth it. so in light of everything we just heard from harry, what could someone in gather actually hope to get out of today's meetings?

well, i mean, i have more pledges is more money the more reconstruction already had from the un humanitarian coordinator, that she has released $18000000.00 worth of funding. and the 4 and a half 1000000000 coming from the un emergency fund in new york and around of the donor appeals. but much more than that. i mean, that needs to be done. there was one of the estimate of a $100000000.00 worth of damage being done. the egyptians i talking about trying to funnel off a $1000000000.00 in here because it's not just obviously about the immediate impact of what happened in the last $1111.00 days of fighting the destruction in the depth and the further unemployment. it's about years and years slow moving, grinding economic crisis. so more money coming in will be something that people hear, especially if it's in reconstruction, which also means jobs usually will certainly welcome the question is,

how to effectuate it. if the american just saying that it must not touch in any meaningful way, i'm us, which is james, is just pointing out rules here. how much is being saying a few things about that? saying that it is at the rights of everybody in gaza to get help with reconstruction, that it must be done in a transparent way to the people who deserve it. it's a key point is about that idea of doing it through the p a, the house, you know, in the west bank in ramallah, which is what the americans are saying. and i says, we will not allow any black male to achieve political concessions in terms of reconstruction. so i think what that means is that they do want to be involved. they don't want to have terms dictated to them. they feel that they have achieved the political victory over the dominated president bus in this recent round of fighting that they've got a new swell of support, not just here in gaza, but also in ocoee bodies,

jerusalem. and in the west bank. and they don't want to see that ro diminished in the reconstruction efforts. so there are 2 very, pretty firmly opposed views of how things will proceed forwards. when you look at the americans and international effort, on the one hand, what am i saying here? kind of a simple question for you here, harry. but what's had like in garza today, i'm just thinking for a view as a watch for the last couple of weeks. the constant bombardment and destruction. and now here you are out on the streets. it is. i have to say this is strange to this associates of experience really going around garza as we have been recently . i mean on a, on a very obvious level, things will look pretty much as i'm used to seeing them for a few 100 meters. then you turn the corner. a massive chunk of a main commercial zone in the middle of the city will just be a pile of rubble with smoking ruins and people trying to clean up. similarly,

you go to neighborhoods in various areas going from what looks like pretty regular, very impoverished. lots of northern garza. so one which every other house has been all but destroyed by the remnants of what was the nicest artillery barrage. last night i was on the balcony of the hotel looking at, you know, hearing music from a restaurant underneath, looking in the sunset people playing on the beaches. and yet get a 250 people killed. thousands made homeless people here have in a very sort of necessary, but that very sad way to get used to did decide you're picking themselves up every time that there won't be able to make themselves up. i mean, i spoke to one man who had lost his job and i fired a mattress factory on the penultimate night of the war. he was saying at least 5 months now. and so they rebuild this factory. there's no material coming in yet

to do so. i have no job, i have my children. people are talking about victory over the israelis, but i haven't one other thing. in fact i've lost a lot and who's going to feed my children. so there are countless other examples like that all across the street. fascinating stuff. thank you for that context. terry, for that in jennifer, please welcome my stuff up, but a go to odyssey are now secretary general of the palestinian national initiative. previously, the palestinian information minister joining us from scott from garza today. mr. burglary, we usually speak to you from ramallah. any particular reason you're there today whilst we have these visits in the west bank? well i had to go to the point i had to present to jordan and egypt and i thought it would take 2 hours, 2 days. but finally we are missing diamond. not them. but at the moment,

we have so many houses that destroy people who can work them with women, one child and one man. this is the next day that that including mine is done. and i and many, many, many individuals. this, this, this is very clear here. and the whole world to me there must be 7000 people who have to wonder when they have nothing. not even more. so the for the new. yeah. for them now maybe can be done with everything we can. so with all of that in mind, i wonder about your optimism for this visits by the us. secretary state antony blink. and he will engage with the palestinian authority in ramallah. that is

something, but it won't mean much, i guess, for the people there where you are in garza, it was needed because unfortunately, blinking administration, bike totally completely not. the last thing we want from anywhere in the world is to continue to try to divide in that to try to continue with the device. we shouldn't be voided when the 500 to deal with all of us as that, which is very important. we punch us because just some time and we are open. got that. and i'm trying to find what this is now we, we have busy and what we want to

see if you all, if i've been in from many said you my life, i'm buying a commission and whether you get there, it's just not just going to fight. we need to manage the court problem and the court and the construction even the lessons and does not happen. right. so if the united states is not going to engage with some ass, does the owner then go on the palestinian authority to maybe not act as a go between? because as you say, you don't want the 2 sides to be seen to,

to palestinians. i've already seen it separate, but does the palestinian authority need to engage more with how math what we need to do is that's what we have. what we need to find within the structure that includes anybody who can come out. i mean, if i can running, if i need to ship and that's a solution, that's the best thing. now if i'm missing, you know, the continuous leave that nobody because again, it's the device and that's what i'm thinking is doing now. and if i think you cannot have a process because you're not device, we pass this test we, you know, we would,

if i mean, if i can find the what's up with 5. but we do not accept this discrimination. there is a lot of criticism. however of the palestinian authority, not being strong enough of having corruption within its ranks of actually cooperating with israel too much already on security issues and been a problem going forward in my opinion to some problem because you can have people who can be back without the people that what's that acute, you mean it does not provide a young by some so just another one was in the we with we have not yet is i want to know

because i'm believe that the but the people who are vision in my opinion, making that now, i really find you because now it's time for me to be free. when you get time for us, we need to, when we are not going to do this job. and that's what every step of the most important thing that i hope to be as if i get people on our economy. i'm going to be stuff about 30 if that's extra general of the palestinian national initiative. thank you for

joining us. we appreciate it. thank you. and while we've been speaking to mr. bar gritty. first pictures coming out of israel, of this meeting between prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the right. the secretary of state antony blinking in the middle antennae on. sorry, not anthony. a meeting which may not have actually happened to had not been 11 days of conflict in gaza. certainly maybe this one, but not the full tour of israel, the palestinian territories and other countries. as we were discussing earlier with james by waiting for the news conference from these 2 men, emily bring you that live when it happened. in the meantime, we moved to other news sandy united states is joining international court for the immediate and unconditional release of molly's leaders. who are being held by the countries military as means the president, the prime minister, the defense minister, all being held in a military company, the capital bama code. it's all of the government reshuffle in which 2 army

officials who took pounds in a cru last year will replace the crisis deepen. molly's political chaos. 9 months after military take over, toppled it's preview here is more with nicholas hawk following developments from nearby dot car. there's a clear signal here, if you, if you have the president, the prime minister and the minister of defense, the most senior members of government, of molly's leadership in a military camp. it seems that the military are showing that they continue to be in charge of molly, ever since he, ever since this military didn't just that took over power. last august, toppling ibrahim move a car, kate, there was a government of transition led to by, but, and civilians. and malik won the 2 most senior civil civilian authority in the government . while now they're in the hands of the military. and it all started on sunday where a new government was announced on national television and that new government was

supposed to appease the situation. the rising tension that there were between the civilians in this government, in the government of transition and the military. but what most r one did is he removed members, former members of the military, june of his government and replaced them by civilians are members of civil society and cotton. this tussle for power between the military and the civilians are the malia and people who are being displaced, who are being contin, the victims of attack. there is also trade unions announcing nation wide straight to strike. so volatile social situation and we're waiting for good luck, john. i think the chief read the mediator of the echo was the west african body to come this morning and bama co and to try to find an end to this deadlock in india has reported its lowest number of new cove in 1900 cases in more than 5 weeks,

that some of the security officers knew that regina was killed before the body was found. now we can't say yet whether this hearing will end up determining that the case will go to trial. but this is pretty strong testimony that the judge is going to be hearing here. and also it's hard come all to overstate what a big case this has become in italy, wherever you go across the country. right now, you see these yellow signed to say justice for julia or a jenny because the whole country is captivated by this case. you even have the parents received by the prime minister might be dragging last week at his official offices. he said he would meet with them again. you have high ranking political leaders, even the president of the parliament, accusing egypt of lying to italian investigators, and authorities. and you have this public media campaign by politicians, by, by commentators across the country saying italians shouldn't be spending any money

in egypt. as the pandemic kind of comes to a close here and people get vaccinated. they're even encouraging at times, not to travel to one of their favorite tourist spot in egypt. so this case is real touchstone right now between egypt and italy. and this testimony is very strong and it's really hard to imagine it not proceeding to trial at this point. ok, adam rainy henry, i'm thank you. in the news, the heads, children among the dead down for a mass killing in an area of peru known for cocaine production. i'm rob mcbride on the remote south korean island where the blue is distinctly purple. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello there. we're going to kick this one off
