significant victory i would say for the palestinians because this b.d.s. campaign tries to put pressure on cultural events on sporting events to remind israelis ordinary israelis all of israel's policy towards the occupied territories palestinians will say most israelis don't pay any attention to what's going on in the palestinian territories so by these sort of campaigns they highlight toward israelis what's going on i mean there are other events coming up in the next couple of months the da mclane aha ringo starr. all these musicians in concert but they generally stick to tel aviv and although b.d.s. campaigns would look them love them to council as well it generally doesn't happen so for this sporting event to be counsel is a significant event significant victory for the b.d.s. campaign or ok thanks very much terry is there from western islam. well israel's prime minister is touring europe to try to come as leaders to join the u.s. and pull out of the iran nuclear deal and unless now his travels into germany france and the u.k. with iran's announcement that is i

really sports minister is furious he says it's nonsense he says it legitimizes terror in the b.d.s. campaign that's the boycott divestment and sanctions campaign of the palestinian authorities lead against israel there was a lot of expectation for this game in israel mainly because. of our slowness player was going to play with the argentinian side and the israelis are the only big football fans in israel and they were looking forward to seeing him play the problem was i think from the israeli perspective is that they moved the game the israeli government paid to move the game from haifa the northern port city here in israel to jerusalem at the games stayed in haifa it might well have caused less force and might have gone ahead but the palestinians are saying that because israel moved to jerusalem they politicized the game and the palestinians launched his campaign to try and persuade the argentinians not to play in that effort to persuade the argentine seems to have worked because one argentinian striker gonzalo . he said in an interview they finally done the right thing when it was reporte

it is yes i mean it's a rare victory in the sense that there's a b.d.s. campaigna boycott divestment and sanctions campaign that tries to persuade the international community to boycott everything israeli really to boycott us exports to boycott cultural events to boycott sporting events because the b.d.s. campaign says that only by doing that by boycotting israel will you bring international attention and israeli public attention to the way the israeli government treats palestinians in the west bank and then garza so by getting israel by getting argentina to council list game than that is a significant achievement for the palestinians and it's a sort of backfired for the israelis they won't see it it would seem to showcase jerusalem as its capital because the idea amongst the israeli government is to get the international community to accept chile accept a normalize the idea of jerusalem as the capital of israel what has happened in fact now is that it's become clear again that the status of jerusalem is far from settled marty thank you very much ben is with there

to play the israeli sports minister he said that this is nonsense it legitimizes terror on the b.d.s. campaign but the problem for the israelis is that this game was originally supposed to be played in a high for a northern port city but what happened was the israeli or forces the government paid for it to be moved to jerusalem to the palestinian side where your politicizing this game it's possible how the game stayed in haifa as planned then it might well have not as cost of course so much problems but because the palestinians view east jerusalem occupied east jerusalem as ultimately their own capital the status of jerusalem is very contentious and that is why they pushed this game to be canceled so this is a relatively rare victory them for the palestinians. it is in terms of the boycott divestment and sanctions campaign it's quite a significant victory in that it really has hurt the israelis the argument often from the b.d.s. supporters is that many israelis aren't interested or don't pay attention to israel's political approach to the west bank and the gaza strip and what israel is doing i

for the palestinians because often that there is this boycott divestment sanctions campaign the b.d.s. campaign the tries to stop people investing in israel visiting in israel buying israeli goods anything that legitimizes israel now they would say the palestinians would say that by stopping the argentinians persuading the argentinians not to play in jerusalem highlights again to the international community what israel is doing to the palestinians in the west bank and in garza and of course israel it wants to normalize in the eyes of international the international community the idea that jerusalem is its capital especially after the u.s. moved its embassy here what the palestinians have said well look what we've now highlighted to you is far from normalizing jerusalem as israel's capital this shows you the jerusalem status is far from settled floor. from westerners and thanks very much bennett. the number of people fleeing conflict is now almost one percent of the entire global population that's the highest in modern history as one of the many alarming figures to emerge from a report which sho

producer has been monitoring the online campaign demanding argentina not to pray in jerusalem what have you found. well since last month we've seen a major online push by b.d.s. grassroots movements that if you don't know b.d.s. stands for boycott divestment and sanctions and they work to criticize israeli policies and they wanted this match in jerusalem on saturday to be canceled so how did they build up the pressure they utilized a couple of hashtags argentina not going as well as nothing friendly both in english and spanish and using those hashtags they posted images and cartoon such as this one to mobilize their followers and also they organize protests as you just heard against the match and those protests were in the occupied west bank when a situs and barcelona and they denounced what they called israel's attempts to sports wash its crimes against palestinians now this is the same movement that claimed victory last month after intense online campaigning and direct letters led to the cancellation of colombian singer shapiro's concert in tel aviv and the palestinian football association is accusing israel of politicizing the game and ignoring anger over

b.d.s. or the movement of boycotts divest from or sanction israel celebrating it's a resounding failure of government that buries its head and ignores the reality. the who is really one of the targets of this campaign he has not reacted to it obviously this is a very delicate situation he's staying out of it but it is just another example of sports and politics it can't keep them separate absolutely thank you so much for tracking all of that reaction on social media and being it to us on the news thank you. and of course all this controversy and so on come as just eight days are left for the start of the most watched sporting event on the planet yes we're talking of course about the world cup in russia but the host nation has long had a problem with greece's and sports and campaigners fear found incidents could ma the tournament footballer of brining is heading to the world cup with the nigerian national team as a player in the russian football league is familiar with the racism some black kids have had to endure. as a player for senate st petersburg brian remembers being abused by a fan. lewis this fan who told me there's no black in zen it's polos that was it i was with friends from the team we w
