player thank. you. this is news live from berlin a shakeup in donald trump's cabinet homeland security secretary kiersten nielson resigns following tensions with the president yeltsin was the face of the administration's hardline as he migration policy will go to washington for the latest also in the show. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he'll

antics west bank settlements if voters return him to office on tuesday right now he's running neck and neck with former army chief of staff benny gantz could the last minute pledge put him ahead. roland up remembers genocide and on her since that is a quarter century since nearly a million tutsis and moderate hutus were killed and one hundred days to abuse correspondent was at the ceremony. on next peiser thanks for joining us the u.s. secretary of homeland security kiersten nielsen is resigning president donald trump confirmed the departure in a tweet. nielson seen here at a meeting in arizona earlier this week serving the position since december twenty

seventh teen she was a front line defender of trump's controversial migration policies she received criticism for presiding over the separation of migrant families at the u.s. mexican border a polish policy which she denied exists. joining me now live from washington as our correspondent michael. michael how big a surprise is this departure well that is not really a big surprise trump had been unhappy with nielsen for a very long time and that's been repeated rumors during her tenure that she was on the way out and in fact that is kind of a surprise that she lasted that long she lasted more than one year while being criticized by trump repeatedly so as a sort of big surprise it was just a question of when the olson would be forced out eventually and do we know who is taking over her job well that is kevin make ilene he's the head of

customs and border protection and there isn't really that much no one so far about him because he was not on the frontline and he was not in the in the d.h. as ministration so far and the top echelons there so we have to see how he will take over that post and probably take a more harder line even if that's possible and what is the situation at the american border with mexico and mexico now. well the situation is pretty much still critical and it's pretty much still unresolved this is a key problem for the trumpets ministration and for the president personally because he had made immigration and immigration on the border against illegal immigration that was his key campaign promise and he hasn't fulfilled that so far to stop this flow of undocumented migrants especially my current families who still stream to the border to claim asylum in the u.s. yes been able to stop that and in fact he hasn't really had

a clear policy how to stop that in his more than two years now in office so that is a key issue for him and that is why it's probably forced out in the olsen now so you think she's a kind of a scapegoat in some kind for failure in that policy and the failure to build a wall. definitely i think trump was unhappy with her and trump wasn't happy that he he couldn't get money for a for his promise the big wall even though he shut the government down in the longest shutdown in u.s. history he forced this separation of children from their parents on the border which didn't go down well with the public any now it was forced basically to backtrack on its on its pledge to close the border after there was a public outrage in especially business businesses in the u.s. and said that would be devastating for for businesses in the u.s. and i think probably the the public face for all this if all these failed policies in the harsh policies it's nielson and trump is looking for

a scapegoat and she is that she plays that role and that's why she has to go ok thank you michael can you get in washington thanks very much. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to annex jewish settlements in the occupied west bank if he's reelected next week. who promoted jewish settlement expansion during his four terms as prime minister but until now he's refused to talk about the future of the settlements which are considered illegal under international law they don't know who is in a tight race for the premiership with former army general benny gantz. there is only b.b. they shout for binyamin netanyahu is followers he's the greatest unique and irreplaceable even if he's not alongside his followers on the streets of israel he's been campaigning nonstop alongside his supporters in washington d.c. online and on t.v. his latest campaign promise. i will extend the sovereignty of israel to the

settlements i won't hand this land over to the palestinian authority. he's talking about a partial an extension of the west bank music to the ears of right wing voters and netanyahu is coalition partners the opposition calls the pledge irresponsible they say netanyahu is desperate he's been dogged by scandals and accusations of corruption and now on security the most important issue in israel netanyahu is facing stiff competition. benny gantz a former army chief of staff has a chance of replacing him as prime minister. yet. the citizens of israel will have a prime minister who cares about their interests. not his own personal business. but in the name. clean handed yet tough on security that's how cancer presents himself and people are listening. he's a change for

a new future for israel. the polls predict a close result. earlier i spoke to correspondent correspondent benjamin hammer and asked him how the pledge to an excel ments by netanyahu might affect the election but one thing is for sure this is raising the tension in an already tense situation and almost everybody in israel agrees that this is a tactical move when he was so close to the elections he's done this before he's doing it now and he's clearly aiming for right wing voters who could vote otherwise for other right wing parties polls show that the center right parties are probably going to be able to form a government but the polls at the same time show that netanyahu is likud might not be the strongest party the strongest party according to polls could be any guns. lou this worries it on yahoo because this could mean that is where it's president

will task any guns with forming a government and not on you know what he wants not he wants that not to happen and this could explain his move if we look at benny gantz it's definitely putting him into an uncomfortable position because benny gantz is aiming for both right wing center voters and on the center left so he needs to really be careful what he says there are people who support the settlements there are people who oppose the circumvents there is a poll that forty one percent of israelis are in favor of a partial and exhaustion of the west bank but it also means that some people are really worried some people that might vote for guns about what's currently happening with netanyahu if you can just rewind a nine hundred ninety three the oslo accords and the idea of land for peace which is animated the peace process which is perhaps not

a dynamic right now how does this announcement if it comes to be affect that idea. well if an attorney who would do what is so far a non-story would of course make so-called two state solution with a known palestinian state even harder if not impossible the whole climate is is not there at the moment in this region you cannot you can hardly talk of a peace process israelis and palestinians have not negotiated for years and if we look at the overall political climate we see definitely a right wing shift in israeli politics they need guns for example has made clear that israel would keep major settlement blocks and the jordan valley in any case and if you look at parties that in the spirit of oslo are for clear two state solution of the international alliance on the united nations lines we see that

their electoral support is very low if you look at a party like methods they would hardly go and keep the threshold to get into parliament so who knows that the climate in israel has shifted to the right in recent years and this probably explains why he's trying their tactical move so close to the elections ok benjamin hammer in tel aviv thanks for that. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. in libya fighting around the capital tripoli is intensifying with at least thirty five people killed in recent days a militia led by general. aims to take the cathal where the united nations backed government is based militias loyal to the government have mobilized to defend the city. police in rumania have mounted a massive search operation along the country's black sea coast after one hundred
