law international community because that's what people expect from international community international law is to protect the unprotected and occupied people meaning the palestinians need protection need international law international community unfortunately the international community is not forthcoming and international law has been shaped and applied selectively according to the logic of the powerful and in this case the united states of america so the trump administration has applied international as it saw fit meaning oil is for america and syria it's ok to pardon war criminals even though the pentagon even say they should and now the palestinian needs to conclude that no help is coming from the united states the united states is not an honest broker in the peace process and that they need to devise a strategy domestically one that to unite them over a vision for a free palestine marwan just a brief final thought from you so where does this leave any chance of peace then whether it's the 2 state solution or trump so-called deal of the century what happens next. the 2 state solutio

international community from the rules of international law that all wars of solving conflicts by free support means and to the horrors of the. the european union and many other country saying the settlements violate human security council resolutions and undermine the chances of a 2 state solution but even with what the u.s. says are the hopes of renewed peace talks the embassy has issued a security warning knowing some could target american interests in israel and the occupied territories in protest rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. meanwhile israel says its intercepted 4 rockets that were fired from syria towards the occupied golan heights warning sirens were heard in the area as the rockets were down by israel's eye and defenses israel has occupied the syrian territory since 1907 meanwhile syria's state run news agency is reporting explosions have been heard near damascus airport no other details have been reported on the blasts 3 taliban commanders have been released by the afghan government as part of a prisoner swap sources have told our jazeera they've landed in qatar senio

shelley: the same people who are doing this are international drug trafffficker, they're internationalhumanan traffickers. theyey have a long time experience in evading law enfoement, movoving goods, haviving key facilitators of money and transport. vira: they know where they need to go, they have buyers in place, and they're able to poach at r really an industrial scale. peters: that's a highly organized, highly efficient organized crime networork that s puttining that type of operation together. narrrrator: bebetween 2009 and , organized criminal networks moved an estimated 170 tons of ivory, the yield from a quarter of a million dead elephants. vira: we estimate that there probably are less than, you know, 25 of these networks operating globally that account for a veryry large proportion of the trade.. narrator: one of them is the xaysavang network, reported to be one of the largest transnational criminal networks to traffic wildlife. the u.s. department of state offered a $1 million reward, the first bounty ever placed by the agency for information leading to the dismantling of the

the princess trust international and, of course, the atlantic council's international advisory board. the -- just to show the reach of the work that we do together with mijid and crescent, today in singapore we held the third workshop for a project called the role of oil and gas companies in the energy transition. it was held during the singapore international energy week 2019 as part of their think tank roundtables sessions. the workshop gathered a number of individuals from a variety of southeast asian research institutions and local representatives of international oil and gas companies and yielded key insights. i won't go into them here but they are issues mijid has pushed us to look more closely at, which is how oil and gas companies actually can take a leading role in a very positive role in an energy transition driven by broadening and enriching the energy mix through the companies that produce and market them to face challenges such as climate change and other issues, really thinking into the future. so, with that, i'll turn the floor over to abbas and our panelists. but befo

what we did was conduct a legal analysis, took international law. we had our lawyers reviewed so this is not meant to send a message anywhere you're describing a message about should there be more settlements, fewer settlements, how should this republic of the courts? this was intended to be a a lel review. we do believe the result of this legal review create the political space for a more likely resolution. we think ultimately this must be resolved politically and we think taking away this impediment, this idea that somehow there was going to be a legal resolution to this we think it's false. we think it assailed with got to place which creates more likelihood. i be taken to say. i'll defer to the white house about particular statement and the like. i don't have anything else to say about the democratic impeachment proceedings. if someone else has a substantive question that the world cares deeply about, i'm happy to take it. >> do you have any guidance or announcements about the peace process how that's going? and he said you talked about ukraine'

yes it's back nervous possibility too but there is one thing that's international media and many others keep forgetting some national or a one story can or and that is the fact that boston is until today a semi protectorate where the international community including the e.u. that has the biggest influence in this country do make many decisions and can impose decisions one of the stations that was imposed in bosnia is that the money that is coming from brussels to deal with the ongoing humanitarian crisis and i have to stress it's not my gums crisis it's humanitarian crisis no migrants a refugee is guilty for what's happening here but all the money are distributing in bosnia through i.o.m. and the profit organizations i also have to reflect to something mr peter said and that's about the center that we have here involved in it's a good enough and that are run by the i.o.m. and financed by the e.u. these centers are far away from the places where human and seasons and dignified accommodation is provided for the people who are in bosnia these places are places where many people are saying
