this a lot of questions of course and let's try and answer some of them with dimitri dillema from the fatah revolutionary council speaking to us from jerusalem this hour you're very welcome how home of palestinians reacted to mike pence his announcement. i think that the street is reacting well and tomorrow we'll see a general strike that has been agreed on by the unions and we will have also peaceful protests marching throughout the streets of the west bank in protest of mike pence provocative biased racist speech and specifically and in general the uninformed ideologically driven biased pro fascist pro racist policy of the american administration towards the palestinian israeli conflict yet they would of course question down saying israel have a nice true islam as their capital they are going with the sovereign states viewpoint or not and. other aspect to this could the european union put pressure on the us this is a whole different aspect to stop than if we heard today didn't we from the e.u. foreign policy chief under reagan margaret rainey saying that the e.u. supports a two state solu

well a little earlier we spoke to the economist fatah qatar and he told us that despite the lifting of economic sanctions in the wake of the nuclear deal iran's economy still has a way to go iran was isolated by round bald at least one decade out of the world economy and right before it was a versified economy really relate to and dependent on imports and also on exports and so there is the need for a catching up process which already began. in iceland the new year has brought with it a new norm making it illegal to pay men more than women for the same walk and it's the first country in a while to make both public and private enterprises accountable to the rules and a bit to close the gender pay gap once and for all. until now women in iceland have earned an average nineteen percent less than their male colleagues but those days are over equal pay for equal work has just become a must there irrespective of gender ethnicity sexuality or nationality the new law will cover over one hundred fifty thousand workers. of course so far women have borne the cost of the gender pay gap and if that

and fatah party will not hold elections presumably because it's not confident that it will win those elections. but that creates a situation where you have a palestinian leadership of which whose democratic legitimacy has been severely undermined and which is looking over its shoulder at hamas, knowing that let us suppose it signed a compromise, we know exactly what hamas would say. yasser arafat wouldn't sign, you signed, you're a traitor. that's not obviously going to be a very practical proposition for anybody in the palestinian leadership today. so that makes the possibility that this leadership will sign such a deal much lower. i would add to that that the palestinian people have not been prepared for the compromises that any, any agreement would require so that you get arafat backing away in 2000 and you get abbas backing away in 2008. i think because they genuinely wonder whether -- i don't know if those numbers are right today, but they worry that in fact the majority of palestinians would reject those compromises, which would of course be rejected by hamas and islamic jihad

i wrote matheson in doha the top stories on all dizzy it egypt's president of the fatah sisi has announced he will run for a second he was widely expected to be a candidate with no serious challenge to his real.

he would not ten years from now be the palestinian president and the head of the p.a., plo, and the fatah party. one year from now, you know, the assumption would be it will look pretty much the same. i think palestinians are trying to figure out now how changed is washington? there is a story in "the jerusalem post" today saying that palestinians, that the plo, which is officially the part that negotiates with israel, in charge of foreign affairs, the plo is thinking of saying we're not going to work with the americans anymore, the americans -- there has to be an international effort at negotiation, and we're going -- the israelis and the americans have killed oslo, so -- it's reasonable for them to say those kinds of things. the truth is no other country could substitute for the united states in trying to convene negotiations, whether it's a good idea or bad idea. the french can't do it. the british can't do it. the russians can't do it. it's not sensible. so i think you'll hear a lot more of that rhetoric, and, you know, the palestinian ambassador from washington was recalled, but i ga

furious behavior by fatah members than by them themselves and i think the same thing is true on the left. the you see a lot of big war. crazy. yeah but i do think there's crazy talk on both sides because i yeah i mean because my i live in the with her bubble with my stuff and we live there together. and i but i myself because i did wake up shocked on election day just shocked completely shocked i have since then started really like they don't ever show up in my feed so they could now if i get that. but i do i go and i read the conservative stuff and and i you know and i do find myself sometimes unwillingly or unwittingly on a liberal super super duper liberal leaning side and i don't see that the fewer and the vehemence and the name calling is any less intense on either side of it and i'm not sure that you said this but if you did i do want to say that i disagree with the idea that liberals hear the conservative perspective and immediately think of like oh they're just being ideological or or they must be a fundamentalist christian because i mean at least the people that that i know in m

large part but continually championing terrorism against israel and years calls for a renewed into fatah just last month underscore how important today's designation is we will not be distracted by hamas as efforts to obscure its true and bloody nature. rose to the years hint that it was going to take this action. nic the u.s. typically does not say when it's going to put a person on the list or put an entity on the list or remove a person or an entity for that matter however it is worth noting that in the release that the state department put out on wednesday it noted that he had been involved in the planning or execution of attacks on israeli civilians but also in this is important from a washington perspective had been involved in the planning of the execution of attacks on seventeen u.s. citizens and so that is perhaps the more pressing reason why is while honey is on the list not only does this designation target his personal financial assets and bans him from ever coming to the united states but it also creates the potential that the u.s. might try to prosecute him in connection wi
