i feel like carrie matheson in "homeland." if you do flow charts here, what the democrats thought was very simple case of donald trump making a phone call, taking a couple of discreet actions to lean on the ukrainians in order to get political dirt on joe biden and to try to prove that the russians didn't hack the election in 2016 to benefit him has turned into a much more wide ranging conspiracy, or i should say plot or controversy or whatever you want to call it that involves business deals, perhaps in ukraine, involvement with rudy giuliani, perhaps with a ukrainian oligarch who has been indicted in the united states, who is fighting extradition, and there is the possibility that rudy giuliani said that he would help him if this guy produced dirt on joe biden. the lev parnas and igor fruman cuz were narrow, but involved hundreds of thousands of dollars that are not accounted for that went to illegal campaign contributions. they also gave giuliani a questionable $500,000 payment. so there is really a lot going on here. maybe

strip one of islamic jihad's main goals is fighting against the existence of the state of israel matheson joins us live here on the news from west jerusalem with more on this evolving story is this cease fire generally holding or not do you think. peter the moment it does seem to be holding as you were saying in the 1st few hours when the cease fire took effect that was about 5 o'clock local time 8 seemed to be ok we did get some reports from our teams both in gaza and on the border of the israeli border with gaza that rocket fire had been paired very shortly after the cease fire went into effect and also the sirens have been heard in some of the areas the israeli areas on the close to the border but in the hours that followed things went very quiet then around about mid-morning we understand that about 5 rockets were launched from gaza we don't yet know what targets if any they hit although we understand that at least 2 of them were shot down by israel's iron dome aerial defense facility that does not seem to have had too much of an effect on the cease fire itself it certainly didn't see

presidential election rob matheson. so remissions with us now a republican strategist on skype from washington just a little history lesson 1st because obviously we're just beginning the formal process now the announcement was made some time ago as we saw in this report why why would he do it when every other country is signed up does it simply come down to the old what is it promises made from is this kept mantra. certainly it is very much along with that money however it's also along with another muncher and that's america 1st it's that america stands alone america does what it wants and america doesn't have to follow suit just because the rest of the world be doing something that is very very different than what we've heard during the obama administration and i say this because i have a lifelong pro conservation republican i believe that good stewardship of the earth of the environment is something that's actually a lot with republican values however this president despite him being a republican believes that that i

the weekly friday of protests the so-called great march a return rallies began last march where matheson has more from the border. gaza's ministry of health says at least 10 people have been injured in protests at 5 different points up and down the separation friends which splits gaza from israel in the protests that are being held today the latest protests as part of the great march of return but the crowds here much smaller than we've seen in the past and perhaps not surprising because just a week ago gaza and israel were firing rockets at each other to the south of where i'm standing now a 27 year old palestinian man was killed in that exchange of fire but it's interesting to note that very shortly after the rocket attack the israeli government put out a statement saying that it held the leader of a single islamic jihad group in gaza responsible for that attack it didn't blame anybody else it just specified this particular leader spool on a few days and on why didn't stay a delegation from hamas went to cairo egypt is a key negotiator in this fragile cease fire that exists between gaz

were right across all the developments in this evolving story in a moment we'll talk live to rob matheson in west jerusalem and harry forsett who's on the israel gaza border but 1st mohamed vall wraps up the day's developments so far. above israeli cities has turned into a fiery battle scene with attempts to intercept palestinian rockets and damage on the ground can be seen there is a state of eilat some schools have been closed and transportation services disrupted as islamic jihad fighters fired rockets in retaliation for the assassination of one of their senior leaders in gaza. on monday and israeli fighter jets targeted senior islamic jihad leader. at his home he was killed along with his wife some of his children were also injured the part of the building where he was lodging has been entirely destroyed extensive damage was also caused in the immediate area his line of jihad followed a quick and unlimited event said that have in the end only heavy of price. and his settlers and soldiers will pay a heavy price. for the car. of a certain age thing and destroy the whole of folly that be

shows what appears to be a rocket exploding on a busy road narrowly missing cars and buses right matheson is our correspondent in west jerusalem rob just take us through this original incident what happened. well earlier on this morning we've seen the aerial bombardment by israeli planes as you said carrying out attacks in open fields in gaza but also hitting several buildings but that's was preceded by a targeted attack on this islamic jihad leader. and now he is the man that israel blames for having launched several rockets from gaza into israel about 10 days ago the time israel has responded by firing rockets back and a 27 year old palestinian man was killed at the time but it was interesting at that point because israel singled out this. leader for being responsible for this attack it did not put blame on hamas or any of the other groups that are within gaza now israeli president but not in the netanyahu has described. as saying he was poised to launch attacks against israel and that he was a ticking time bomb and that is why this targeted attack took place now the other significant t

meeting on sunday to grant an award in his name aimed at encouraging achievements in national work matheson as more from gaza. gaza is the birthplace of yasser arafat's father it's also the place where in 1904 yes out of 5 to return to live for several years we're told that several 1000 fatah supporters marched through the streets of gaza on saturday night as part of the commemorations and that was it despite a ban by hamas because hamas and fatah are bitter political rivals but it's interesting to note that the supporters who were on the streets in gaza on saturday were not affiliated to palestinian president mahmoud abbas they were linked to mohamed duck land mohamed dr john is a former leader of fatah who was expelled from the party and has been spending the last several years living in the united arab emirates but he has a lot of support here in gaza hamas a lot of his supporters to march through the streets on saturday because they believe that dunn is a rival to muffle us now we understand that groups have been making representation to hamas to try to allow about supporters to take pa

rosalind matheson joining us on the trade tension. more, we are joined by chris watling come along view economics ceo and chief market strategist. what matters here, i suppose, is whether this influences the phase one trade ill. what downside is there for markets if we don't see that soon? chris: there's certainly a bit of a wobble in markets, like we saw in may when trump pushed back on trade negotiations, but i don't think it is a central issue anymore. there is so much liquidity in markets that this is no longer central. it is interesting the last few weeks. it is not that bothered by trade headlines. anna: we sort of ebb and flow with the trade headlines. chris: but not that much. it is not that big, really. i think the market also knows that trump doesn't want to get involved in this. he has some plea following through with what has passed through congress. liquidity is very good. there's a lot of liquidity going into markets, the non-qe qe. anna: so is it your assessment that would have been pushing us up to new all-time highs h
