recommendation well just to finally you did mention in your post casa do i know have you were in bahrain for the so-called deal of the century you know that the palestinian leadership said that the trump administration could go to hell and that the palestinians we've spoken to they say basically they're trying to the top administration signed a bribe palestinian leadership people with loads of cash. so utterly ridiculous there were 2 lakes that were dropping want wrong was the economic problem announced in bahrain 2 weeks ago where i was there the other leg is the political problem the palestinians are in a trench because the money comes in and they siphon it off for them their families they put it in swiss bank accounts and so they have billions of dollars of going into the system and you can't find it anywhere in the west bank so it's a fine show of more of the same and i applaud gerry kushner for at least advancing a plan that would improve their political situation from where it is right now and certainly their economic situation so the fact that they did not show up i would recommen

and not trying to undermine countries like bahrain and the persian gulf.he iranian government needs to think very seriously about. if this agreement is going to stand. those would be good places to start. so you are agreeing with the us administration's policy towards iran? no, i'm not. iam administration's policy towards iran? no, i'm not. i am merely highlighting that the trouble in this relationship is not because the us has withdrawn from the joint compound is a plan of action, as the agreement is called, but because the iranian government has consistently violated all international laws over the last, i was going to say the last four years, but let's face it, the last 40, in sponsoring terrorism, seeking to undermine neighbours, seeking to murder individuals around the world, and let's not forget seeking to murder 20 of its own citizens. it is one of the largest executed of citizens in the largest executed of citizens in the world, second only to china. eran is highly unlikely to bow under this pressure, particularly us pressure. how is this all likel

because they're worried about the scrutiny from the parliament so you know we are in a position where bahrain does not like to be seen as a tortured state and likes to get its executions done as quietly as possible and so parliament you pressure is absolutely vital as our demonstrations in front of embassies and we've seen before in react very badly to the amends pressure from civil society human rights watch amnesty reprieve the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings they were spoken out and that is useful. mr walton we thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate and that is sam walton live in london thank you. probs. now 4 policemen have been killed in a suicide attack in the afghan province of does me from others were wounded in the explosion and the bomb district the taliban has claimed responsibility. thousands of people in hong kong define a police band by marching in the same town where protesters were attacked by alleged gang members last week the rally is being held in un long that's a child on the outskirts of hong kong close to the border with mainland china
