mahmoud abbas wants a single authority and system of rule. he's critical of the way hamas manages gaza and signalled out execution without trial. >> are things falling to pieces between mahmoud abbas and hamas? >> it seems that tension between the organizations is ratcheting up. we had the statements from mahmoud abbas - very, very strongly critical of hamas, supposedly the new unity partner. what is happening in the west bank is an arrest of a large number of hamas supporters. a spokesman claiming more than 30 have been rested in the past week, amid rumours that hamas is plotting a form of a coup. certainly the context, the atmosphere in relations between hamas and fatah is serious. the comments made by the palestinian authority president aimed at a warning shot across the bow of hamas, intent on forcing them to hand over a greater degree of control within gaza. >> all etcanada.can/coming as m seeks arab support. what does that mean for the plan? >> the plan is dependent on getting a large situated of arab support behind it. only in that wil

abbas called these statements unjust and unjustified.s criticism shouldn't be aired in the public. it is interesting to note that a recent poll states if presidential elections were today, hamas' political leader would trounce abbas. the poll states that almost 80% of palestinians believe hamas won the gaza war. it is not surprising that hamas is popular. this rift is music to the hamas' ears. israel is now calling for abbas to abandon the deal and return to the dialogue with them. what does this mean if this unity falls apart? the cease-fire and the conditions were based on unified palestinian front. >> fascinating to look at the politics. ian lee, thank you for that. >>> 16 minutes past the hour. president obama warning the ebola virus could mutate if not controlled. he calls the pandemic a security priority. the comments come as the white house request $30 million from congress to pay for the cdc efforts to pay for the outbreak. so far, 2200 people in the region could sicken because clinics in liberia don't have enough space and peopl

you know what's going on with the palestinian authority and the way abbas thinks. what's he trying to do here? >> well, contrary to expectations, it seemed that this last war by israel on hamas actually fueled the already difficult relations between the two sides. i think abbas wants to make it clear that the difficulties in gaza in no way the responsibility of the palestinian authority and that hamas, which is expecting the pa to pay its employees are not allowing the p.a. to have any kind of responsibility and i am talking about the unity government, which is supposed to be a representative of the two sides. >> excuse me for jumping in here. hasn't it also helped isolate hamas since, of course, there are many players who would benefit from it? >> probably that will isolate hamas but let's also remember that the p.a. does not have much credibility, especially in the eyes of many palestinians, including in the west bank, but, also, outside. i think that also mahmoud abbas is trying to protect the palestinian authority in the west bank because hamas's popularity in

some are saying mahmoud abbas may go to the international criminal court. war crime allegations against israel. you have been negotiating. the head negotiator. your name is probably more well-known to the world than mahmoud abbases. we have seen you for more than two decades. what do you think comes of that. the united states will never back the idea, that israel gets tried for war crimes. what are you aiming to get out of that. >> it is a worry, of course, and those that worry about the criminal courts should stop committing crimes. we are not fond of going to court. but when you look at gaza, 12,000 people killed and wounded, mostly women and children. when you look at a third, when you look at the targetting of electricity and water, deliberately. putting gaza back 500 years. it was a collective punishment, a war. this is a war. israel is the occupying power. the safety of the people, in jerusalem - it is israel's responsibility. when this occupying power violates all of this, it's a full right. we are finalising it now, we are pursuing it and we will de

abbas point of view, hamas does not help him do his job, coordinating with israelis.ly impossible. it won't work. >> and i should say that the national unity agreement, the national reconciliation, all of that, is probably not going to work any more and not see it put into practice. >> it will never work so long as the israelis don't want it to work and that is the israeli veto power and they promised abbas what he believes to be something good and that is why he went on offensive immediately after the ceasefire agreement was reached on gaza. and i can only interpret this as a signal from the israelis that if you are with hamas then we are willing to welcome you back in our club. >> even if he is welcome back in the club so to speak as you put it there what is the alternative for abbas at this point? i mean, he has already tried peace talks with israel, a semblance of a peace process and doesn't seem to work, what is the alternative and breaks off agreements with hamas? >> he is in real trouble because he relies on his israeli and american backers, but realistically h

you have listened to that and many speeches by president abbas before. this one is different. >> it was different. i don't think we have heard from the leader any such narrative. at the 1993 palestinian leader did not speak with such strong language. the palestinians have rediscovered their narrative, and that is of victimhood. so in so many ways, james, i would say this speech addresses two sorts of audiences. audience number 1 is abbas's new partners, hamas, and the people who usually disagree with him. he says i have heard you. we are a victim of this racist state, and i'm speaking on your behalf to the international community. the other audience is the international community. interestingly enough he is not addressing the israelis, and he is saying despite all of the war crimes, we want peace, but we need it to be in a certain framework at this time frame, because guess what, he said -- remember, he is the one that signed on the agreement in 1993 in the white house, he says these negotiations don't work, they are non-sen call. we have to change all o

the comments made made by mahmoud abbas clearly designed to operate as a warning shot.tend to getting hamas to give up a did he agree of control in gaza. a control that he says is being abused at present by hamas accusing it to running a shadow government in gaza. the west bank as well, hamas says a large number of its members have been arrested over the past week amid talk from various sources of a possibly coup by hamas whip the west bank, so certainly tension rising between the two parties that are supposed to be part of a unity government. critical for mahmoud abbas and his visit to cairo, wide arab support for the plan and the negotiation plan that he intends to make public in coming days. this plan dependent on arab support, but most importantly, dependent on the support of egypt whose relationship with the palestinians has become ambivalent in recent times since the regime change within egypt. so mahmoud abbas attempting to he had did the wider support for his new plan about negotiations given that the u.s. it appears has already rejected his ideas. >>> palestini

the flight was diverted to bandar abbas and has landed in dubai. the cause for the diversion is being examined. we know it landed at terminal 2 where it was supposed to in dubai. and it landed just over nine hours ago at 3:00 a.m. local time. and the spokesperson said at no point were the crew and passengers held at bandar abbas. and as i note brd before, they d this was a bureaucratic issue. now, fly dubai, it's interesting, this was a charter flight, natalie, but it's a very fast-growing carrier. it ordered $11 billion at the dubai air show in 2013. so it expanded rapidly. it has a lot of cargo flights hired by the u.s. department of the military and the pentagon to have these flights. we know there was better than 140 passengers, 100 of them american. so an initial alarm when this took place, but all seems to be coming very clear right now that there was confusion because the flight left so late from afghanistan, natalie. >> yes. i guess so. well, it comes at a sensitive time, too, with the u.s. and iran making public statements of cooperation b

general assembly gets underway in a couple of hours and we will hear from palestinian president abbasd to layout his plan for a middle east peace agreement. the british government is discussing what part it will play in the u.s. led air stieks against iraq and lavan and prime minister david cameron is denying he is doing little to solve the problem and this is a scene in the house of commons right now where they are debating this issue, david come ron is blaming politics of syria and iraq for the rise of isil and asked parliament to approve uk involvement in u.s. led air strikes. >> i am not claiming by air strikes alone we can roll back this problem, what this problem requires is comprehensive strategy including a well formed iraqi government and well formed iraqi armed forces because they in the end will be the one whose have to defeat this on the ground. the two principal causes are the fact in syria assad is butchering his own people and acting as recruiting sergeant to the extremist and secondly in iraq with the maliki government we had a government that did not represent all the

mahmoud abbas is not from the west bank. and, you know, it -- first there has to be political will. very hard to imagine how an election can be held lebanon and syria for refugees. i think it's not a question -- the mechanisms are there. it's a question of a political will. and, you know, the same way the plo was convened without any territory, the plo was created without a territorial base. it can be re-invented in a sense without that. so, the mechanisms are out there. what isn't there, i think, is the political will by the current leadership. whether it's hamas or fatah or other factions to reenter great the diaspora institutionally, not on an individual basis. there are individuals, of course, from the diaspora who are involved. but more broadly, and that would take rethinks of the plo as an institution. that conversation is happening among a lot of palestinian intellectuals in the diaspora and inside the west bank in gaza but not -- it hasn't yet produced an outcome. >> joe, did you want to address the second part? >> well, on the accountability question, i mean, it's a very go

that was really netanyahu's answer to what we heard from abbas. he was expected to make the heated comments, but he certainly is ramping up the rhetoric against hamas and against iran. >> we know you are following the fallout from the speech very, very closely. we appreciate that and will be keeping an eye out as well. as the white house continues to gear up for combat against isis. this will play into that and we will take a closer look at that other big story, just how the campaign is going. facet, the coalition building. britain, belgium, denmark agreed to help the u.s. in military operations in iraq. critically not on the syrian side of the i kwaequation. i spoke to her about where her country stands. >> norway is providing hum humanitarian assistance and would they consider getting more involved in the coalition against isis? >> we sent planners to participate in the planning of the operations and said we can go into a training mission if that is needed to help for the iraqi government and kurdish different groupings to resist isil. i'm a str

after netanyahu's speech i can't see abbas and netanyahu speaking any time soon. the time for that is gone. what is the obama administration to do? clearly prime minister netanyahu tried to schmooze the obama administration. there is no love lost between netanyahu and obama. united states is at a crossroads, what to do about the israel palestine issue. this helps everyone to distract the attention from the important issue: the safety of the syrian people, stability in syria and iraq, stability in palestine, tree dom fo --freedom for the pd israel. peace process is a sort with international involvement not only in bombarding various parts of the middle east but engaging in a comprehensive settlement in iraq and syria and palestine and other parts of asia. whatever they have been doing james has not worked. whatever counterterrorism has not worked, equally affiliates has -- al qaeda affiliates has been mushrooming, from abuja to -- what is it you said? >> to fallujah. >> everyone remains adamant hanging their hats on it. but the primary danger is tyranny, not a smal

. >> on friday, palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke about genocide against the palestinians. we expecting netanyahu to respond to that accusation directly today? >> oh, i'm sure he will. his foreign minister just issued some sharp criticism of abbas saying that everything to him is an insult but we believe that the israeli leader will target iran and its leadership much more. that's always been the bigger concern, despite the fighting in gaza that lasted for weeks and the heavy casualty totals there. israel still remains very firm in its criticism and its alarm about iran and its nuclear program as talks and deals swirl on the sidelines regarding the nuclear program. israel is already saying it will be a bad deal if there is a deal. >> certainly things getting interesting there at the u.n.. richard roth, thank you very much. >>> i will be right back. we know we're not the center of your life, but we'll do our best to help you connect to what is. >>> could a virus that has sickened hundreds of children in recent weeks be the source of paralysis in some colorado children. the c
