jordan lebanon syria the west bank and gaza the u.s. has been the agency's largest donor and a spokesperson for the palestine president called the move an assault against his people germany has pledged to increase funding in response. well for more on this let's bring in our correspondent tanya kramer who is in jerusalem tania what impact can we expect this cost of funding to have on the palestinian refugees who receive support from the u.n. agency. as you said the u.s. has been the single largest donor to in the past decade or so so and they already had announced back in january of this year that they will withhold funds and then reassess their commitment to the agency now this new announcement of course will send the agency into more financial uncertainty has been calling other countries to

step in and as we heard germany has said on friday that they are prepared to give more support to the agency also calling on other use states to do the same it's a question whether this will be enough to fill the large scout now you have to understand that it's getting very essential services if you look for example at the gaza strip the school year just has started they're running schools they're running host clinics to get in through just systems and of course this new announcement creates a deep insight here as well as uncertainty for the refugee population not only in gaza in the occupied west bank but of course also across the region as well as taking care of palestinian refugees in jordan lebanon syria as well so an agency providing essential services with that in mind what has the reaction been from the palestinians. well there's a lot of anger of course on this new decision i mean we all know that the relationship between president mahmoud abbas and u.s.

is doing but we also heard over the week because the debate has been ongoing what to do with. security officials in israel has said it shouldn't be such an approach to ending up the funding because it believes a vacuum and that is actually not in the interest of israel's security and it still is the question who's going to take care of all the refugees here in the region our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem thank you tanya. one of the main separatists leaders in eastern ukraine has been killed in a bomb explosion alexander's lead russia back separatists in ukraine's donetsk region who died in the blast at a cafe in the city of donetsk russia has accused ukraine of assassinating him to provoke a new war in the region kiev denies the claim with some officials suggesting such a death could have resulted from a conflict between rebels and russia. this is the
