i was caught up in some of the anti-apac demonstrations.ot easy for the press to get through at some points but police have been deployed. with regards to the anti-china protests and what some demonstrators are pointing to in terms of allegations of human rights abuses committed by the chinese government, it's unlikely president xi will be directly confronted because that summit is happening around half an hour from where i am now. caitrÍona: helena humphrey in san francisco, thank you very much. earlier my colleague spoke to the state department spokesperson. >> we saw the u.s. president say this bilateral meeting is about reestablishing contact between the countries, especially military to military. beyond that, what would be considered a success? >> the important thing to remember is we have long talked about taking steps to stabilize the relationship. we believe that is not just in the interest of our two countries but something the international community expects. when we talk aut key issues like addressing climate cooperation and coun

blinken: first as much as i would like to i cannot speak to the menu at apac. it is above my pay grade. first i should say this. we are planning for a meeting between the leaders. we are still working on those plans. both sides have acknowledged the importance of leader level channels in managing the relationship. we both agree we have an obligation. the u.s. and china. to responsibly manage the relationship. that in many ways starts and finishes with leader level engagement. we've been working toward this meeting since my trip to beijing this past summer. there are a number of areas and issues upon which we hope to make progress. as well as continuing to manage the places we have real differences. you know the foreign minister just in washington. we had detailed constructive conversations both about areas of potential cooperation, but also the places we have real disagreements. i think we were able to speak very clearly, very candidly with each other. that is very important when it comes to discussions our leaders have. so beyond that i cannot get into the spe

washington with the government, it has completely dominated through lobbying efforts, under the control of apac, congressional opinion, and it has the benefit, the presumed benefit that domestic political leader can't survive, zionist opposition, so the first, the first and most prominent thing i think is the uh domestic scene, then after 67, i think israel was, because of its military successess and its capabilities, combines with the fact that the shah of iran was no longer available as ally, israel appeared to be the most reliable strategic partner in the region, and energy politics were very high on the policy agenda of the united states, so it's it's a combination of these international and domestic reasons combined with the general reluctance of european and the north american countries to go to seem as though they're supporting a uh political entity that has expressed anti-semitism, it, it's, it's a large number of issues that combined. okay, well, daniel, your perspective, and your thoughts about what the regime expects to accomplish with this incessant murder of palestinians, young and

the ad is from the political arm of the american israel public affairs committee or apac as it is more commonly known. and it is not the first time apac has tried to dak on more progressive members of congress or even jamal bowman himself. that fight is most evident in the debate between proisrael democrats and the squad. congressman bowman is already facing a potential challenge from westchester executive george latimer, who says he'll make a final decision after returning from a solidarity trip to israel. other squad members including ilhan omar, rashida tlaib are expected to face potential challengers as well. as michelle goldberg writes in "the new york times" a series of ugly primary campaigns fought over israel will only widen the progressive political divide. but with horror at the conditions in gaza and jewish fear both ratcheting up, an interparty clash over the future of the squad now looks inevitable. joining me now is congressman jamal bowman. i know it's a tricky topic, a difficult topic, but talk to me a little bit about what this moment has been like as you start of navi

people writing the laws, they will sacrifice us national interests for personal profits and that's what apac and the lobbies are able to bring to bear for them, as far as consequences for israel's behavior, that's going to be... up to different nations and norway and spain are recognizing or ready to recognize the palestinian state, bolivia and other countries have cut off all relations to israel, but it really for real consequences you're going to have to break the relationship between the us and israel, until us aid stops, until the their protective veto stops in the security council, nothing of substance can really be done, and the people have the most power to break that relationship are american citizens themselves, this needs to be a frontline issue, is a presidential run coming next year, this needs to be on the forefront that we want to stop all aid to israel and stop abeting them in their crimes, not only the palestinians, but to all of their neighbors, and very briefly if you may, mr. muhammad, address the issue of accountability for us, we have less than a minute, i think where th

worried you are that ukraine on the ground is not making the progress it needs to make in order to keep apaceith the american impatience calendar let's call it that. >> the first of all the some of the credibility of the united states of america. we have come to stop russian aggression ukraine walking away from that be hit to her credibility. it is also a matter of national security for the united states. it's not just about how much territory ukraine takes it's also about making sure russia itself cannot renew an offensive that takes further territory the other direction in ukraine ultimately places greater pressure on nato which history tells us to drag student seats into a conflict. so for me the notion the united states was stopped funding ukraine at this pivotal moment goes against every national interest of our country. i feel there is a bipartisan foundation to build on for that. strong support in the senate's by both parties and in fact strong support in fourth both parties assist small group of one party whose vocal on this issue. it is not where the vast majority of members are in e

fully in line with netan yahoo, which is a terrorist state, and they've got their claws in deep and apac scares lot of congressmen, they had a vote, only 10 people voted against standing with israel, non-binding resolution doesn't mean anything, but the aid hasn't been cut, and i would like to know when the un or the international criminal court, when they make all these rules to say you can't use water as a weapon, you can't do this, you can't do that. okay, when you make rules for what's allowed. and not allowed in a war, what then are the consequences for breaking those rules? because you have to lay out what the consequences will be before you make the law, because israel's broken all the laws, but there don't seem to be any consequences. thanks right, and fra eu foreign policy chief uh, joseph just said yesterday that we as europeans need to uh devise our own policies independent of uh the us, so obviously he's saying uh, he's implying, not implying, he's explicitly stating that we cannot trust the us to be at the helm of support for israel, we need to have our own level of what we'

let's bring in our guest, olivier d'assier, head of apac at axioma.eing some progress made on u.s.-china tensions. how much does this help sentiment in the markets? olivier: it goes a long way to removing one of the worries that investors have, their relationship had been going downhill since last year. we were not expecting much out of this meeting. they both extended an olive branch, nobody expected them to walk out holding hands. they are talking, which is more than what we had a few months ago. i think the market will take that as a check mark. less geopolitical risk on the table. economic news elsewhere is also better. inflation gives playing its role of coming down. the economy is showing signs of slowing down. the sentiment that it bottomed out to very bearish levels two weeks ago and last week, it will probably start rising again and hopefully forward, as well. shery: what will it take for investors to be convinced about getting back into chinese assets. bloomberg estimates debt is down 20% from 2021 through the end of june this year. olivier:

that very delicate balance is the thing that will be really in focus i think for xi jinping at this apacmberg's rebecca choong wilkins there giving some context ahead of the key meeting on the sidelines of apac. of course, this will be front and center for those world leaders attending in san francisco. senior officials in the u.s. and israel has suggested talks for securing the release of hamas- held hostages are intensifying. let's get more from bruce einhorn. to cut through the latest when it comes to what progress is actually being made in securing the release of more hostages. bruce: there were over -- about 240 hostages abducted by hamas and other groups on october 7. talks regarding the release of at least some of this hostages seem to be intensifying, according to senior officials. a lot of the action is taking place in qatar. qatar plays a special role here because of the one hand it has hosted senior hamas officials, and it also is a home of a major u.s. military base. so qatar is playing a role as an intermediary. president biden spoke over the weekend with the emir of qatar a

good afternoon, i'm jake, and first i want to say i'm impressed how quickly the city cleaned for the apac. i want to welcome back the supervisors that visited japan, only to find out what we've been saying, education is best when not ran by racist. now since supervisor are taking trips at taxpayers expense, i want you to visit to el salvador and see the drug dealers that went to poison the population. there is something i want to address, mad that voters get demographic elections. he is mad that we don't let them run into challenge. he sends he is qualified judicial court but begging others to join him to interfere with the democratic. now he wants to limit all of our ability to hold any elected accountable. which includes you all, i'm here to vote not to sign on any ballot initiative or any resolution that condemns any democratic election. but if you do, we will hold you to the anti democratic position you stand on, if you support any. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> speaker: good afternoon, i'm district 11 speaking on the peskin resolution, regretfull

the question now is, who is going to make sure this continues apace even with the interventions that could side track the deal? >> who is the pressure on, hamas or netanyahu? >> it's on both. president biden has made it very clear to prime minister netanyahu to keep focusing on getting the detainees out. the israeli public wants them out as well. there's no political space in israel for the prime minister to move away from this. the same goes for hamas. qatar has been working this aggressively. they have been hosting them for a decade now in the political office in doha. hamas made a commitment to qatar. it's their patron who really does have control in many aspects of their politics, and they can't betray qatar. is it qatar or qatar? >> i'll say qatar. >> they're going to have a nervous in just a few minutes. we're going to watch and see what they have to say regarding the release. the interesting part of this deal was the israelis agreed to continue the ceasefire for a day for every ten hostages released, potentially extending this out quite far because there are going to be 180 ho

adding that their records indicate that nelson has not contributed to apac in over a decade. nelson didn't respond to our request for comment. harper, an author and actor, said quote, i'm running to be a voice for the people. i will not be bought or bossed or bullied. i'm not going to run against the only palestinian american in congress just because some special interests don't like her. hill harper, democratic candidate for the united states senate in michigan, joins me now. thank you so much for being here. i want to start just by asking you, walk us through how this offer occurred. >> okay. hey, joy. i was driving to pontiac for a grassroots fund-raiser that wasn't going to raise $20 million, and the phone rings. and while i'm driving i get a call that makes it very clear that in my race, in my senate race, my opponent was going to t fundraising, and there was no money for me and that. but, if i dropped out of that race against an opponent they support, he said there would be $10 million in soft money, you know, independent expenditure money, and then there would be an ef

the other line for today is the diplomacy which continues apace, the us secretary of state continuing as the us secretary of state is pushing for until there is movement and progress on the plight of those hostages. the us secretary of state in turkey today, again hearing a condemnation from turkey's president of the israeli offensive. at the moment israeli offensive. at the moment israel shows absolutely no sign of halting its military offensive, certainly until there is movement on those hostages. we will continue to bring you the developments here in gaza and from southern israel. but for now i will hand you back to the studio in london. thank you, mark lowen in southern israel. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. up to 20,000 health workers in england will receive a one—off bonus of at least £1,700, after previously missing out because they worked for non—nhs organisations. the extra payment was agreed as part of the nhs pay deal in england this year — but some staff were not included. after employers launched legal a

showing that their strategy is at least bearing some fruit, and then also maybe by standing up to apac, the american israeli public affairs committee, which is targeting some of these members of the squad who have tried to walk a fine line on israel, who have condemned these horrific massacres by hamas, condemned this explosion of anti-semitism but at the same time insist on the legitimacy of palestinian national aspirations and human rights. >> michelle goldberg, this is such a complicated topic, i keep saying that word, but it is complicated and deeply sensitive. and you put it into context so brilliantly. really, thank you for your time and thank you for your thoughts on this. >>> still ahead, for the first time since the war between israel and hamas broke out on october 7th, a small group of evacuees were permitted to cross the rafah border to safety in egypt. e rafah border to safety egypt. i got this $1,000 camera for only $41 on dealdash. dealdash.com, online auctions since 2009. this playstation 5 sold for only 50 cents. this ipad pro sold for less than $34. and this nintendo s

democrats like the squad have gone to your minority leader jeffries and asking for some help in countering apac, the largest israeli lobby in the u.s., that is trying to get pro-israel democrats in the primary to challenge them. what do you make of that? >> so, it's really important that when we're having these conversations that people like us who are in positions like ours, members of congress, lead with humanity, with civility and decency and we lead with the interest of trying to unify our communities. so i think it's important when i listen to rhetoric from either side going on that i ask questions, that i seek unity and harmony and i understand that rashida and ilhan and those folks have different life experiences than i do or many in my communities do and i'd like to ask questions, and ask faith leaders in my community figuring out how to keep people together. thankfully in my community we have been trying to speak across the faiths and it's important. because if we don't have civil and decent conversations then we-- it's hopeless. i think that that's what's important right now. very evi

but it's also true for months and months and months prior to apac we've been having different conversationschel: what? pete: i actually love that answer. rachel: exactly. it's true. it is true. and by the way, that was a very truth and feel it's like he's ready to run and he's taking it terrible situation in san francisco and he's trying to spin it as best he can and really hard situation to spin and he does want to showcase the city before his friend, his new bff comes, and so he's cleaning it up. but the people of san francisco are mad. they're like, what about us? we're paying taxes here. we live here. you only care that your new bff is coming and now you're going to cleanup.up. pete: we like that flippant answer here from the coach on tv and you live that thrombocytopenia and that's the admission, here's jj smith and a san francisco resident and talking about the homeless problem on jesse's show yesterday, watch. >> starting to cleanup and starting to get people inside with shelters and once all this is open with and these people here on the streets will be forgot about again till the n

the bottom line on these meetings in san francisco, the apac meetings, is did xi jinping leave the meetingsed or less deterred from invading taiwan. we can talk about the bomb p and circumstance and everything -- pomp and circumstance and everything, but if he didn't leave thinking america does have resolve, then the meetings were failures. you have to look at the readouts from the chinese side, look at what xi jinping says to his people, his domestic audience and they're doubling and trip martandtripling down on taiwan. i may add such an important what that you brought up about the american business leaders giving xi jinping a standing ovation, it's one of the most disgraceful things i've seen from american business. this is a man who trump and biden don't agree on a lot but one thing they agree on is that there's an ongoing genocide in china against the muslim uighurs and so they give a standing ovation to a man who is complicit as he declared by trump and biden in genocide and it was one of the most shameful days for american business that i've seen in a long time. maria: and frankly the

taiwan is reporting renewed chinese military activity, gordon, this is around the island, after the apacsident biden's meeting with xi jinping last week. taiwan's ministry of defense said 21 chinese jets and 7 war ships came near taiwan today, xi reportedly telling biden during the meeting that taiwan is the biggest, most dangerous issue in u.s. china relations. he said reunification cannot be stopped, gordon. >> yes. though i think that at this moment -- xi jinping also said he's not going to invade p. at this moment, i don't think the war over taiwan is actually that high because remember they've got their national elections on january 13th. the pro-china candidates seem to be doing pretty well and at this moment i think what we're seeing in these military maneuvers are meant to intimidate taiwan voters to vote for pro-china candidates. at the same time, we've got real problems in the philippines, where china is engaging in what constitute acts of war and that could actually get out-of-hand as president biden and the state department have actually issued written and oral warnings that
