negotiations with israel. i'm us summit, you heard the x amount of brigades among others corporate militarily and agree that armed resistance to the occupation is the only way to end it and to achieve palestinian self determination. which is the spokesman for the fat movement and a member of the family revolutionary council. he says, israel is motivated by the upcoming election. we see the closer we get to the israel elections. the bloody of the xhylia attacks get on the palestinians. it is because the israeli government is trying to compete with its predecessors trying to be more violent against personal, hoping to gain more ground in these way the election. so they, in this, well, there is this thought which is well established, the more violent you are towards the palestinians. the closer you get to any connection, it appears that israel is coming closer to an all out war against the, by the senior. this whole thing started in jerusalem when these really are

a government allowed these really settlers to storm. they're like some walls and the change, the, the, the status quo of the mosque than it spread to janine. it's read for janine where the soil is continued to, to arrest more policies and individuals. then we saw the assault on garza, and now it has come to not was israel knows all to will that such targeted killings will, isn't the result in a reaction of the same type on the palestinian on the blessing and side it is trying to destroy all the efforts of the palestinian government beat in jean or novice, you have the palestinian authority, trying to establish the rule of law, trying to maintain stability and call that is on the one hand. and on the other hand, you have the heavy arm, the heavy hand of these when the army trying to work against the philistine and efforts, because they do not want ballasting. president obama's and to succeed in doing what he wants to do. he wants to qualify palestine to become a democratic state,

an independent state, and that is exactly what these really, governments do not want to see. counting has begun in kenya's presidential parliamentary elections. election commission has said they expect both to turn out around the 60 percent. the 2 presidential front runners are the former prime minister of bingo, and the current deputy presidents with him root of the race to replace the outgoing leader who kenyata expected to be close. catherine, sorry reports from cassandra in central canyon voters arrived early to cast their ballots. hackney call and logistical problems were reported at some polling stations. what does really come out? well as expected and every 100 who to increase but overall voting went smoothly. members of the messiah community wore their traditional clothing as they waited patiently line. i'm expecting that is i, there is going to be peace that people of gonna are going to

catherine sawyer, all the 09, robi, for us president donald trump says the f b i has searched his florida home. is believed to be part of the investigation into whether he took classified records from the white house to his private residence. or trump criticize the re calling it a weapon ization of the justice system, 100 reports from washington. the former president was staying at his apartment in manhattan when the raid took place and was seeing leaving trump tower and walking towards waiting cars. according to the former president, his home in mario lago, florida, was rated by a large group of f. b. i. agents who he alleges also opened the safe in his home. his statement says, after working and cooperating with a relevant government agencies, this unannounced rate on my home was not necessary or appropriate. the justice department has declined to comment on the matter,

including about whether attorney general mary garland had personally authorized to search. previously, the national archives and records administration had referred the discovery of 15 boxes of classified information at maro lago to the justice department for investigation. no former president has a additional determination that it is likely that they have committed a crime. judges do not sign off on warrants or anyone lightly. they always believe that there is likely that a crime has been committed and that it has been committed at this specific location . so this is genuinely an unprecedented event. the house general you 6 committee which is investigating the invasion of the capital on that day had also heard evidence about the removal of classified documents. when trump left office. there were also claims that when trump was president,

he had repeatedly shredded or disposed of classified material. after reading it, the destruction or removal of classified documents to an unauthorized location is a federal offense. mckenna, audi 0, washington. dave herringberg is a state attorney for palm beach county. he says for the f b, i to have done what they did. they must have a strong legal case. we've never had this situation before, which is why the f b, i probably had layers and layers of review. and then they had to go to a judge to get a warrant sign, which requires probable cause that a crime has been committed and that mar logo contains evidence of that crime. and you know, because this is so impressive dented that the judge probably was extremely meticulous because this has never been brought before any judge in american history and look from at any time his lawyers, if he has a copy of that search warrant which most he most likely does,

he could release that search warrant if he thinks that the search warrant is so corrupt. he could also fight it in court, but i don't expect you'll see either of those things happen instead trouble wage this war in the court of public opinion. he is planning to run for president again and will use this to be a martyr. because after all, why run on ideas when you can run on grievances, it's a serious crime to remove or mutilate, or throw out confidential documents, classified documents, especially when it evolves national security. and i have to believe that there is no way that a former president home would have been searched if it was just trinkets or love letters to be compensated from kim john own. it had to be something that was very sensitive that perhaps pertain to national security and it had to be that the

person involved trump here would have acted wilfully. we won't know until much later what the search warrant says. but this is not something that is a small matter the only way that the department of justice would have approved this and a judge would have approved. this is that it implicates a very serious crime. still ahead here on al jazeera, taiwan responds to days of chinese military exercises, live fire drills of its own. and ah, saying good bye pop star and actress and john ah hi there. we have more writing the forecast for southern parts of the arabian
