hamas has signaled it's ready to end a longstanding feud with palestinian rival fatah the group which has ruled gaza for ten years has agreed to dismantle their minister to committee that runs the strip and hold elections which controls the occupied west bank. has welcomed but asked for clarification from gaza. the pressure has been mounting on hamas the results of ten years of israeli and egyptian blockade have been intensified this year by rival palestinian faction fatah the fatah leader palestinian president mahmoud abbas has cut salary payments and electricity supplies attempting to pressurise hamas into giving up its sole control of gaza hamas turned to egypt which pushed the palestinian reconciliation. we responded to these efforts and made a brave decision to dissolve the administrative committee and now there are no excuses for. a bass has one choice only to respond positively to achieve the palestinian dream of national unity. that dream was written by gunfire in two thousand and seven when hamas prevailed in street battles and the political division between gaza and the occu

and put in place and and helped by egypt and it is a decision that hamas feels is now the right time to take. the hook well i was. almost made a courageous serious and patriotic decision to dissolve the administrative committee but how would the fatah movement and the president of the palestinian authority deal with this decision and with this egyptian effort we believe that abu mazin and fatah have a new test in dealing with the egyptian effort and with achieving the aspirations of our palestinian people in finding a united palestinian cause to become free to face all the challenges and most importantly the occupation and the settlements so harry this announcement by hamas and was just the first step there's a lot of issues that need to be resolved do we know what's going to happen in terms of a consensus government and also how would this mean what would this mean rather for the lives of the people on the ground who've experienced so much hardship. well according to the palestinian authority it would improve those lives one of the things that they have said in relation to hamas for

to try to open a new page on palestinian reconciliation between the main two factions hamas. had similar territory before in terms of conciliation but obstacles always got in the way they've collapsed. remain to be solved. well that is the. magic of the palestinians are the palestinian division has been going on for more than ten years now and over the past ten years we have seen a number of initiatives a number of agreements between hamas and fatah. and other other capitals and unfortunately all of these have failed to put an end to palestinian division understood palestinian national unity and i have to say that the palestinians right now are skeptical about the success of this new initiative by the egyptians and as we always have been saying that the devil is in the details so yes there is a new understanding between hamas and for that between hamas and egyptians but probably once they get in once they dig deep into the details of their consideration we might see a new obstacles in the coming in you days and weeks with regard to how to get together how to put an end to div

a major breakthrough a lot has been a long and bitter dispute between rival palestinian movements hamas and fatah a mass which has ruled gaza for ten years has released a statement saying it is willing to end its feud with which controls the occupied west bank amasses agreed to dismantle the administrative committee that runs the strip and to also hold elections. the hook but i was. made a courageous serious and patriotic decision to dissolve the administrative committee but how would the fatah movement and the president of the palestinian authority deal with this decision and with this egyptian effort we believe that muslin and fatah have a new test in dealing with the egyptian effort and with achieving the aspirations of our palestinian people in finding a united palestinian cause to become free to face all the challenges and most importantly the occupation and the settlements. high force that has more from gaza city. there are three ministries which have always been attached or reported towards the. based administration the occupied west bank administration of the fatah led palestini

well this announcement very much hinges on the new relationship between egypt and hamas since hamas changed the wording of its key document in may not talking about the muslim brotherhood or its relationship to the muslim brotherhood which of course is entirely in opposition with the c.c. government in cairo there's been an opportunity for this warming of relations egypt has been allowing fuel to get in across the rougher crossing into gaza a lot now hinges on the reaction of based in the occupied west bank in ramallah we've spoken to the secretary of the central committee he says that fast i would be one hundred percent behind any such progress however it is a question of waiting and seeing how things progress over the next week in terms of any consensus government being allowed to operate within gaza we have to remember that mahmoud abbas is on his way to new york for the u.n. general assembly where he will be meeting donald trump on wednesday trump just a few months ago in the region was labeling hamas along with a number of organizations in the region as a terrorist group which needs to

the pressure has been mounting on hamas the results of ten years of israeli and egyptian blockade have been intensified this year by rival palestinian faction fatah the fatah leader palestinian president mahmoud abbas has cut salary payments and electricity supplies attempting to pressurise hamas into giving up its sole control of gaza how mustard. gypped which pushed the palestinian reconciliation. we responded to these efforts and made a brave decision to dissolve the administrative committee and now there are no excuses for a bass and a bass has one choice only to respond positively to achieve the palestinian dream of national unity. that dream was written by gunfire in two thousand and seven when hamas prevailed in street battles and the political division between gaza and the occupied west bank began repeated attempts to reconcile have collapsed this time fatah says it's ready to send its officials to gaza that plans are in place for the unity government to get to work its no matter of details. we now look positively on this but we need clarifications and the clarifications should

hamas the hook but i've. made a courageous serious and patriotic decision to dissolve the administrative committee but how would the fatah movement and the president of the palestinian authority deal with this decision and with this egyptian effort we believe that muslin and fatah have a new test in dealing with the egyptian effort and with achieving the aspirations of our palestinian people in finding a united palestinian cause to become free to face all the challenges and most importantly the occupation and the settlements. well our other top story this hour iran threatening to close all borders with the kurdish region of northern iraq should the semi autonomous area proceed with a planned referendum on independence vote is slated for september twenty fifth despite calls from baghdad to delay it may bring turkey is calling the referendum an issue of national security and a grave mistake and another important story we've been covering this hour a lake in indian administered kashmir used to be the largest in

in terms of humanitarian aid here especially over recent years hamas that the military wing of hamas seen as trying to get further. develop its relationship with iran that's something that many of the players here don't want to see russia has been involved in foreign minister sergei lavrov having talks trying to head off that potential so it does all play into the the wider geopolitics of this region the people here though a much more concerned about what this means for their own daily lives they've been under huge pressure especially in recent months with fatties own addition to the various other privations that people here have been undertaking has been squeezing electricity it's been cutting payments to its own staff here really adding to the pressure on the garzon economy people here are wondering will this mean an immediate or very soon reversal of that position that for many here is much more important than a wider longer term political reconciliation between hamas and fattah and indeed this this larger strategic play going on in the region as a whole thanks so much because the

and hamas. that includes cutting salaries in gaza, it includes reducing electricity and he reducing the medicine supply to gaza. the goal was to pressure hamas and it seems after some of those measures were taken, hamas found itself in dire circumstances, had to turn to other countries, and now saying it is willing to move toward a unity government and move toward reconciliation with fatah. one more thing i'll point out, in may hamas unveiled their new policy document in which they said with we are willing to accept a palestinian state even if year nwe're not willing to recognize israel. it was a big statements. this can be seen as a continuation of some of that. critically the question remains does in become more than statements. >> and how will all of this be received and again a statement, about you how will it be received by israel? >> reporter: so i've heard many times before in talking to people about the split between hamas and fatah, that the biggest beneficiary is israel as the palestin

stories here on al-jazeera palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas has welcomed an offer by hamas to set up a unity government in gaza hamas which israel gaza for ten years has a great to dismantle the administrative committee that runs the strip as well as hold elections seen as a major breakthrough towards resolving a long and bitter dispute but as hari forces reports the real talents lie is in its implementation. the pressure has been mounting on hamas the results of ten years of israeli and egyptian blockade have been intensified this year by rival palestinian faction factor the fact our leader palestinian president mahmoud abbas has cut salary payments and electricity supplies attempting to pressurise hamas into giving up its sole control of gaza hamas turn to egypt which pushed the palestinian reconciliation. we responded to these efforts and made a brave decision to dissolve the administrative committee and now there are no excuses for a bass and a bass has one choice only to respond positively to achieve the palestinian national unity. that dream was written by gunfire in

hamas established it earlier this week.vernment by mahmoud abbas in the west bank, and they saw it as a way for hamas to entrench their control of gaza. so the fact that they have made the statement that they're willing to dissolve their straig administrative committee and work with creating a unified government with the palestinian government is a big statement. the problem is. the people have heard similar statements of unity governments, that's why it is only a statement as of now. follows up on the statements of hamas and the palestinian authority in the west bank. we haven't yet got and statement from them. how they respond will be critical here. if they accept the statement from hamas, it could be a big step toward reunification, but if they put a qualifier or a condition on it, it could remain nothing more than a statement with no followup actions. >> how might that work, moving toward general elections? >> reporter: so the palestinian authority as it stands right now is essentially run by fattah. there is no hamas i

spokesman the representative who deals with hamas in terms of the. problems that they've had for the last ten years he is saying that stands ready to send the consensus government here it's just a question of working out the precise timings and they've been informed that hamas is ready to receive that government so it does seem at least that this part of the deal is ready to be implemented however there remain all sorts of obstacles in the detail of all this which could still cause problems as they have in the past when there's been other attempts to resolve the separation between hamas here in gaza and fatah in the occupied west bank here's what one political analyst here in gaza was telling me about those problems a couple of hours ago. the palestinians are the palestinian division has been going on for more than ten years now and over the past ten years we have seen a number of initiatives a number of agreements between hamas and fatah. and other others. and unfortunately all of these have failed to put the palestinian division. and i have to say

the palestinian father movement is cautiously welcoming a pledge from its rival hamas to hold talks in the general election a mass release the statement saying it's willing to end its feud with the which controls the occupied west bank and masses also vowed to dissolve its administrative committee which governs gaza for the deputy leader calls the move positive and promising if true force it has more from gaza city. there are three ministries which have always been attached or reported towards the . based administration the occupied west bank administration of the fatah led palestinian authority the other ministries the other officials are so far reporting to an acting executive committee however they are both in words and indeed it seems ready now to dissolve it entirely the. spokesman the representative who deals with hamas in terms of the the into the into the sign problems that they've had for the last ten years he is saying that stands ready to send the consensus government here it's just a question of working out the precise timings and they've been informed that hamas is ready t

hamas agreed to dismantle the administration that runs gaza. >> what we have heard today is a hamas spokespersonaying to fatah, now we have stretetched t our hand in open reconciliation to you. we would like you to lift economic sanctions against us. it makes you realize this was a huge motivation behind this dramatic development. just back story -- six months hamas said wep in are not only going to have de facto control, we will set up our own government. that infuriated fatah. you'rent abbas said if going to be on your own, you will really be on your own. ,hey stopped funding salaries power, water. it has been a hot summer in gaza, exacerbated by the fact that international money is also being held back to you all of that has brought hamas to the table with egyptian mediation. that is where we have seen this dramatic development. >> irris makler reporting for us from jerusalem. muslims more rohingya are fleeing from what has turned humanitarian disastster. that t they are out of the viololence in myanmar, refugees are desperate for food and water. inare at a refugee camp bangladesh. she sent u

hamas the hook but i was hamas made a courageous serious and patriotic decision to dissolve the administrative committee but how would the fatah movement and the president of the palestinian authority deal with this decision and with this egyptian effort we believe that abu mazin and fatah have a new test in dealing with the egyptian effort and with achieving the aspirations of our palestinian people in finding a united palestinian cause to become free to face all the challenges and most importantly the occupation and the settlements. heavy monsoon rains in bangladesh have added to the misery of hundreds of thousands of a hinge refugees who fled from neighboring mammal the government has also placed restrictions on the ranger barring them from using public transport and from looking for accommodation outside their cramped counts iran has threatened to close all borders with the kurdish region of northern iraq should the semi autonomous region proceed with a planned referendum on independence from iraq the vote is slated for september twenty fifth despite calls from baghdad to delay it human ri

what hamas has basically said is that it will get rid of this administrative committee that it set upause it was seen very much asa move, because it was seen very much as a rival government to the palestinian authority, which is dominated by the fatah faction and based on the west bank and what we saw over the last few months is a real deepening of the feud between these two main political factions and president abbas took many steps, including cutting the money for electricity payments to gaza which has reduced dramatically the amount of electricity that is received their two four hours a day, followed by 20 hours of michael and that has led to a worsening humanitarian situation in gaza as well. palestinian people are broadly welcoming news that there is this new reconciliation effort now, it has also been welcomed by others including the un special envoy here who said all parties must seize this opportunity to restore unity and open a new page for the palestinian people. the fatah delegation in egypt which has been doing all of the shuttle diplomacy here it says that he thinks there

a leading fatah official said hamas had taken an important first step to end its ten year rift. also been a positive response from the palestinian president. he is in new york ahead of the un general assembly. hamas said it will get rid of this administrative committee it set up co ntroversially administrative committee it set up controversially in march, because it was seen very much controversially in march, because it was seen very much as a controversially in march, because it was seen very much as a rival government to president mac mood aboufs government to president mac mood about‘s authority, dominated by his fata h about‘s authority, dominated by his fatah faction. —— a rival government to the president. we have seen rivalry between the two main political factions and the president took many steps, including cutting the money for electricity payments to gaza, which has reduced dramatically the amount of electricity received there, to four hours a day followed by 20 hours off. that has led to a worsening humanitarian situation in gaza as well. so palestinian people are b

palestinian political group hamas has agreed to hold talks with viable fatha about holding a general election the two factions last held elections in two thousand and six which hamas won and briefly formed a government they also expected to discuss dissolve in the gaza and ministers of committee both sides were involved in the conflict in two thousand and seven which led to fatah rule in the occupied west bank and hamas ruling gaza. iraq's prime minister says he is prepared to use military force if a planned referendum on kurdish independence turns violent he says the vote is illegal and unconstitutional kurds in iraq have come under increasing pressure from regional powers and the u.s. to cancel the vote now voting is underway in the pakistani city of lahore for a parliamentary byelection former prime minister now i should use wife called so i'm sure as the frontrunner for the seat the vote is seen as a test of support for hamas should be fair and has p.m. l.n. party and has political heartland the seat was vacated in july after she was disqualified and dismissed from office by the

for more than ten years there has been a deep rift between hamas and fatah.his fatah faction in the gaza trip and seize control after winning legislative elections. since reconciliation to try to bring the sides back together has failed but there was a short statement after egyptian intervention. egyptians trying to broker reconciliation talks. they have been speaking to hamas officials who put out a statement saying it would dissolve this administrative committee is set up this administrative committee is set up in march to manage affairs in gaza. it was seen as a rival government to the palestinian president. it said it invited a reconciliation government to take control of affairs in gaza and it was ready to hold general elections. these have not been held since 2006 because of the split between hamas and fatah. between gaza and the west bankin and fatah. between gaza and the west bank in effect. it said basically it was ready to restart talks with fata h was ready to restart talks with fatah on getting back to the 2011 reconciliation deal which was agreed

now to syria now the palestinian father movement has cautiously welcomed the pledge from its rival hamas to hold talks in the general election a mass released a statement saying it's willing to end its feud with father which controls the occupied west bank and masses also vowing to dissolve its administrative committee which controls gaza for the deputy leader is called the move positive and promising we were joined by the bill shatha who advises the palestinian president he said elections are important for a future unified government. once the consensus government a government the pamirs had accepted every one of its ministers its not been chaperoned by egypt also once this government really starts ruling gaza and the west bank start developing problems. economically start solving the economic problems of the gazans and then that first step will set real optimism for the second step which is the elections a step that we have called for for a very long time and now hamas accepts that legislative and presidential elections will bring back our elective democracy and will bring back more su

very bad relations with hamas and today i think today, yesterday hamas leader in tehran and met with the foreign minister the latest big fight they had is because hamas is, of course, connected to the brotherhood, muslim brotherhood also the core of the opposition to assad in syria at least in early fazes of that war. iran's relationship with hamas has never been what its relationship with hezbollah and lebanon is. as religion with them goes back several decades. there is a -- completely different strategic nature to that relationship. find it extremely difficult that the iranians qowld completely can the off hezbollah. its relationship with with hamas has been far more instrumental rather than strategic but here's the one important thing to understand. objective of any final negotiation to be able to establish a new e quill in middle east realize that states deal with states instead of doing what iranian and other os have done to constantly find state actors with other states that in and of itself weakens the states, and what we're seeing right now is that with weak sates is and geo

to set up a unity government in gaza hamas has ruled gaza for ten years it's agreed to dismantle the administrative committee that runs the strip and to hold elections human rights groups say thousands of south sudanese women have been raped and sexually assaulted during the country's four year civil war they blamed the abuses on the government troops of president salva kiir and on opposition forces loyal to former vice president. u.n. secretary general antonio terra's has warned that the planned kurdish independence referendum would detract from the need to defeat eisel iraq iran and turkey all oppose the poll show for the twenty fifth of september but they could just on the general government says there's no chance the vote will be delayed protests saw the race relations in the u.s. city of st louis have turned violent for a third night they followed the acquittal of a white former police officer of the shooting of a black man in two thousand and eleven. now in her first public appearance since being released from prison chelsea manning has told a caller from saying that tucker tha

is not on paper yet another partner obviously is egypt we know that hamas is setting up an office and i mean how significant. is that in the big picture well it is significant for the time being because it singles. a good indicator about policy every conciliation for the first time we're seeing is the clearing acceptance of elections in gaza and willingness to dissolve and actually dissolve the administrative ministration unit that they established to manage the situation in gaza and to accept a unity government to be able to work in gaza so these are good indicators when because now what this goes beyond i mean what it goes beyond this is not really optimistic that much can be achieved after that because then we can talk about like with a political project of each party which i see that they are completely different and is a bust the man to do it i mean he's lost so much support you had to mass attacking him israel attacking him is he just a convenient partner for possibly the u.s. well that's exactly what. about what about the role has been for the past few years actually because yo

for celebrating this saying that hamas should be ashamed of itself what impact this has on his efforts to revive the peace process i think probably very limited they're already serious obstacles in that effort already this will allow the israelis to say again what they've been saying to the americans since donald trump's initiative got underway that the palestinian authority should stop paying the families of attackers like mr that it is incitement that is something that the palace in authority entirely rejects saying that they need to be supported that this is part of the occupation that these people are either imprisoned or killed in these kind of acts and as well as that the palestinian authority will make the point that settlements like are like this one are very much at the heart of the problem settlements which the israeli prime minister recently said we're here to stay forever harry fawcett in bates rake in the occupied west bank carrie thank you very much for that and as harry mentioned there the issue of settlements is one of the most contentious between israel and the palesti

the museum also shows old film snippets of the second shot in hama talking munich tapping the. after the opening procession in nine hundred fifty. that define it with them as friends with the mayor of their time. who is riding in the carriage with my grandfather. you know why don't you tap the first k. . now at that time tapping it was actually beneath the dignity of a man. but he was a social democrat and a man of the people so he stood there and tapped it. and ever since the mayor has tapped the first keg to mark the official start of an eighteen day party at the titties in visa and nobody here has as much experience of throwing a rousing party as the schottenheimer family. that is for. the format is really one of a kind as to where else gets so much togetherness says in a tent full of six thousand people and everyone is focused on the brass band and if it's you it's in. the music has an essential function at the test. and the band leader is like the ones who really get the party going. right about us. who else gets the chance to control six thousand five hundred people to ge

we are thankful for these efforts aimed that nearly finding the measures taken by hamas following the division including the formation of a government. now the government has been cancelled. and now there is commitment to really a national unity or a national consensus government. to enable it exercise its authority in gaza strip and to allow for general elections to be have this agreement. has been reached and we are satisfied with this agreement and next week our government is going to the gaza strip to assume its responsibility and we wish the government all success president ladies and gentlemen also in my speech before this is simply last year. with the british government and the government of great britain to rectify the grave injustice inflicted upon the palestinian people when it's issued the balfour declaration in one nine hundred seventeen promising jews in national homeland in palestine. this by the fact that i stan was inhabited by the palestinian people. ninety seven percent of the population population at that time where the scenes we were disregarded. again by the same

say to run this is not acceptable you should still find on this ng still spoke to me since ballots hamas. will be doing the place but this is something that i believe israel should see too good or we draw some schools we do all night it states the states and say ok it's not just you know small easily problem. it's good to have you with us today for you and yours a new york times article has claimed to reveal another technique used by the russians to sway american elections and i generally russian ball swear created fake accounts to pay for political adverts and to spread anti clinton messages on twitter and facebook sees that michael frost santiago takes a closer look. what you're proving has an army of internet trolls a legions of trolls that they have spread in program one messaging their problems mission was to hurt the us democratic process to hurt hillary clinton and undermine her presidency. facebook and twitter what turned into action and deception and propaganda russia's fingerprints hundred its own even thousands of fake accounts. mr putin's denials of question many have been co
