sad map of palestine you see from the. green line nine hundred forty eight borders now what is the enclave of guards which has very little contact with the west bank of them anyway and then you see the west bank and then you see the areas and say and then you see the huge number of settlements all over and it continued land grab a new kind of question the viability of a state with some much occupation going on anyway i would think that by gaining recognition of palestine as a state then becomes very obvious to any sense in international law israel's continued colonise ation occupation is illegal particularly the current flashpoint is jerusalem with the development of two particular social mintz in jerusalem but also the prevention of many palestinians returning to trust them when they go

to the west bank and the expulsion of palestinians from their homes to make way for . the new city of david in the south of the city you mention the u.s. and israel's opposition to a full u.n. membership for the palestinian authority but unlike at the un the us doesn't have a veto in the general assembly could it still do something to de rail this attachment well two parts to that i think what the hope. is that the palestinian diplomatic initiative of the past couple of years has borne enormous fruit pretty well every country in latin america now recognizes palestine most african countries will be many salvation in southeast asian countries also recognize palestine this can be an overwhelming vote in the general assembly now that doesn't grant full membership the full membership must be approved by the security forces will make it clear it will you. power of veto the security council

in the british government's position is still i believe they're going to abstain on the a suit how you abstain for or against palestine i don't know but that's the position they're taking so i think what we'll get from this is a vote by the general assembly and from that some kind of in hearts to observe a status of the moment the palestinians do enjoy a degree of observer status within also u.n. organizations particularly for example human rights council would granting this request amounts to un support for the recognition of palestine well it's a decision made by the general assembly majority of the world's nations crucially represent the majority the world's people are going to vote for recognition of palestine that will further isolate the united states and one day some time some day the united states is going to wake up and realize that the future of the middle east is not going to be sorted out by then pouring arms and money into israel is

going to be sorted out by the u.s. taking a positive role in bringing about recognition of palestinian rights and therefore the recognition of rights of all people so that in the region commentators are saying that u.n. nonmember state it is likely to be granted but thought of calling it a pyrrhic victory one in which neither side when it's saying it won't bring statehood any but it will i'm get the israelis and the americans do you agree don't call it a pyrrhic victory her call it a halfway house by achieving that it is a recognition by the nations of the world that palestine deserves its place also i think exposes the nonsense of the u.s. and israeli position because the u.s. and israeli position is essentially that going to continue the support for israel they're going to continue allowing israel to undertake it settlement policy and this will help to isolate that i'm also encourage i hope the european you. not to

grant enhanced trade arrangements with israel which of course they have for a long time been preparing to do the palestinian problem it's really been neglected recently particularly in the media because of the arab spring and fighting in syria what impact it had these events had on palestinian society i think it's how the very big impact is had a big impact on a lot of young palestinians of realised the isolation of their position their levels of unemployment their levels of poverty and the levels of education achievement which are met by jobs and by career as much the same as young people in egypt algeria tunis you name any country there also bizarrely it's had an effect on israeli public opinion as well for the first time that i can ever recall it was been a huge demonstrations in israel against poverty against tax increases against service cuts. was there not raising the palestinian issue during those demonstrations look

at the economic issues they're raising and no different to what the youth of the whole region are raising and so maybe with seeing a turning point in that young people in israel are beginning to realize that perhaps they belong in the middle east not in an american colony or an offshoot of europe so you think in fact that the arab spring may have made a solution to the palestinian problem. yes i do because egypt has for a long time certainly since nine hundred seventy nine been seen as the western bridge into israel i mean it's the main speaking country that's recognized israel could diplomatic relations a very close security would like sions the new government in israel and where it comes from where its support comes from indicates something very very different and i was there quite cautious at the present time they don't want gaza to become an extension of the chip they are. i suspect going to increasingly use their pressure

to force israel to open the open the gates to allow transit of goods and people in and out of gaza through israel to the west bank one of the results of the arab spring has been a rise in radical islam in the middle east what kind of spillover effect to think that israel and the palestinian authority expect i think radical islam is a consequence of suppression of people's views and wishes and radicalization happens when you don't give people their voice there is right with radical christianity in the united states there is a different forms of radical islam across the region when it comes to elections most of the election results and most of the people elected seem to be more based on the economic demands and needs of people and the role that the society will play in the future and certainly very much against the dictatorial regimes of the past i

think we're seeing absolutely fascinating development in a sense it's a bit like the nineteenth forty's fifty's are about pricing against the anglo-french monopoly of relations across the whole region what we're now seeing is an uprising against these pliant dictatorships many of whom cooperated with the war on terror many of whom imprisoned people many of whom allowed extraordinary rendition to take place through their countries during the early stages of the afghan war i think this is going to be a fascinating period to watch but if we don't do something now for the palestinian people grant them their rights grant the recognition grant their peace grant less security and stand up to israel's land grab theft and imprisonment then it's the war of tomorrow israel must be feeling increasingly uneasy surely about the toppling of pro american regimes in the middle east. i think israel was very

alarmed at the fall of mubarak because ever since the seventy nine deal they've always seen egypt as being maybe a difficult neighbor but nevertheless a neighbor and the levels of cooperation between israeli security and egyptian security in the side of the eye on the border with. gaza are absolutely huge and i think they are probably extremely nervous of that and that indeed is probably encourage the right in israeli politics i hope instead a more rational voice appears in israel saying hang on we're in the middle east we've got to live in the middle east and just look forward this be optimistic the helsinki conference on nuclear weapons free on a nuclear weapons free middle east in december is an opportunity back here in the u.k. some poll showed that sixty percent of u.k. very think that palestine should be recognized as a state even more in some other countries in europe and yet no governments come out

in support of it what's stopping them do you think what's stopping them is a traditional recognition and support of israel ever since the foundation of state of israel in one nine hundred forty eight on the basis that the jewish people were disgustingly disgraceful and appalled to be treated by the nazi regime by the holocaust and it's a sort of sense of saying well the israeli is right side of israel was set up in order to provide a safe haven for jewish people and that is still quite an important narrative in european politics but i'm quite hopeful that the irish presidency of the european union of ireland has a very strong and very honorable record in supporting the rights of palestinians under the other people in the region maybe they can move things on a bit i'm not surprised that sixty percent of the people in the u.k. support palestinian recognition public opinion has transformed during my lifetime from being overwhelmingly unconditionally pro israel to now being.

very conditional about israel and very positive about the rights of palestinian people why should british voters care about what happens to palestine after all that's an awful lot going on here at the mayor and it's not always an awful lot to worry about at home but if wars break out somewhere else. and suppose israel decided to bomb iran i hope they don't just suppose they did the oil prices would go up very quickly there are british forces in bahrain in the navy and on the straits of hormuz there's a u.s. base in bahrain there's the us navy there's bases all over the region and we would then be probably sucked into some ghastly conflict of course it matters but human rights matters as well and if you suppress a people's identity and their ambitions and that's what you are end up with war if their requests for un nonmember status is granted what then next for the palestinian independence movement to push for full status but also to use this.

position within the un to force israel to withdraw the settlements and ultimately take down the wall and recognize the rights of palestinian people you don't achieve good relations with your neighbor by surrounding yourself with power water a machine gun emplacement your chief security to a neighbor buying friends jeremy corbyn thank you. the stunning beauty of reindeer gracefully dancing across the arctic tundra more than just a scenic image it is a way of life for sun traditionally the nets people are nomadic reindeer herders and though in many ways they lead a simple and rustic life they are also highly skilled and organized in their trade i'm sure but. another week.
