you have an internal fight between the palestinian authority and hamas. you do have a situation where hamas is viewed by israel and the rest of the world as a terrorist organization. what do the palestinians have in tes of any likelihood with their leadership that there will be any kind of negotiation or going to peace or whatever with the israelis? is that even on the table at this poememoment? >> in the popular groups in the demonstrations yesterday -- there's references to how hamas organizes. i don't think this is a primary ham hamasing organized demonstrati. my sense is in response to the ongoing sense of -- the kind of divisions that are happening in gaza in the face of ongoing violence by the israeli state, people are actually thinking the only way to go is to resort to what they have been the best at, popular mobilization. they see this happening in not only in go saturdaza but also i west palestinian. the 16-year-old palestinian girl who slapped a soldier has become an international hero of sorts. i think that sense that perhaps if they just leave

to speak frankly, the palestinian authority does not exist. the fact that they have two different entities. their elections to the palestinian authority, when they are supposed be held in january 2010, i'm not sure if they went according to the constitution, has a legitimate right to send an agreement on behalf of the palestinian people. even with all these problems, i remember in an annapolis -- i was shocked when i saw the most generous offer. despite this offer, at the end of the day, they said no, and refused to sign a final status agreement. and the demonstrations in this bilateral framework is impossible to achieve a real solution with the palestinians. it should be part of the regional, copperheads of solution. -- it should be part of a regional, comprehensive solution for the israeli arabs. the biggest part of them identify themselves as palestinians. i think it is very crucial. it is the biggest issue, to continue the same things, to hope that the result will be a different result. i explained in the past, it is politically correct to

prosperity for palestinian authority. he speaks in slogans. for a dependent state unique capacity and the economy and jobs. we need education. is not only to have a declaration. independence costs a lot of money. invest theirld efforts to create a stronger economy. >> i have to ask you this question. what is heard for years from various political leaders here, israel, and elsewhere. the current situation is unsustainable. is it in fact very sustainable? the middle east is the middle east. shaky and is very unsustainable, and unpredictable. everything is unpredictable. what the future is for gaza, or palestinians and what happensia, with the arab league. eastroblems in the middle is like connected vessels. yemen, the sinai, egypt, problems with the islamic state. to hope it is possible in this small part of the middle east, israel and palestinians to likeve real stable peace, france and germany and france and italy. is a very naive approach. we need to achieve this strategic breakthrough with our wealth, strong leadership. it is from both sides

things having a state israel doesn't recognize a palestinian state that doesn't recognize the palestinian authority as having ever any solver in t.v. for example when israeli settlers murdered palestinians or destroyed their property palestinian authority police aren't allowed to arrest them and you know it's it's astonishing to hear this representative of the sutcliffe state calling for negotiations what is there to negotiate how can you negotiate with somebody who is a busy stealing your land it's the old analogy i always use that if we're negotiating up over land but over a pizza and i start gobbling it as fast as i can walk right negotiations can be israel doesn't want negotiations there's all the talking point of oh no we just want peace and we just want the palestinians the come and negotiate with us is a rubbish for international media consumption what israel is doing is a consequence of the lavish monstrous utilize like i said these are usually to the west you do not like how can i message is that you do not make her out of like her jewish people to have a state ok all right let out in iraq

to speak frankly, palestinian authority doesn't exist. the fact that you have two different entities, you have the two. the election to the palestinian authority were supposed to be held in january 2010. i'm not sure that, according to their constitution, has legitimate right to sign any agreement on behalf of palestinian people. even with all this problems, i remember what they offered. again, i was shocked when i saw. it was most generous offer only possible from israeli side. despite this offer he said no. he refused to sign final status agreement. it's another illustration that in this boy lilateral framework it's impossible to achieve real solution with the palestinians. it should be part of the regional comprehensive solution. we should sign with arab league, with palestinians and to find the solution for the israeli arabs. biggest part of them identifies themselves as palestinians. i think it's also very, very crucial. it's biggest issue to continue the same things and to hope that the result will be different result, i think it's

even though today the policy of the palestinian authority is not to gauge with the americans because of their position visibly drusilla they still have mentioned that the americans did not even attempt to reach out on the history of the day as we know it tend towards the palestinian authority to have any kind of limited so it seems that the current administration has kind of like it's really palestinian on the freeze of the process and is now pushing more than iraq. for some eight suckle thank you very much for joining us from jerusalem. well days after a historic summit between north and south korea pyongyang now says it's prepared to shut down its in underground nuclear test site according to officials in the south korean capital seoul it's one of the first steps expected to be taken after north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president in pledge to officially end the state of war between their two countries. it was a historic meeting between the two koreas where promises of peace and reconciliation were plenty but on the steps and how to achieve those goals well they we

in ramallah then the palestinian authority has to coordinate with israel forward to shipments to come into the gaza strip because anything coming in and out of this trip comes through one crossing to carry my was salim crossing so it and has to have prior prior approval from israel now that crossing has been closed for the past eight days because of the jewish passover holiday it's due to reopen on some day but the state of the hospital here ok no wait until sunday there are some of the injured who are in a very critical situation there's also another issue here which is the let's say the tense relations between hamas and the palestinian authority so from what we understand there from the health authorities we spoke to you know everything there are for is actually approved and shipped by the authorities in ramallah so it's a very complicated situation where you have a humanitarian situation which is also hostage to a political situation and i do bowman as he said earlier the hospital has declared a state of emergency all right how to tell him a life rests in gaza thank you a p

ndand to speak frankly, the palestinian authority doesn't exist. they have to different entities. you have judea and somalia. you have hamas in gaza straight. and the elections to the palestinian service, they are supposed to be helping generals in 2010. and we're not sure that knesset is and in according with their constitution. has been a legitimate right to sign any agreement on the health of palestinian peoples. >> but even with all this problems. i remember what they offered indianapolis, to be a level shop. >>. >> it's not maybe the most generous offer possible from the israeli fight. and in despite this offer, at the end of the day, it's the result. and it feels to sign the final status agreement. and it's only another illustration of existing bilateral frame. but it's impossible to achieve. in a real solution. >> it's ashould be a regional comprehensive solution. we should sign with the arab league, with the palestinians and to find a solution forthe israelis and arabs . the deepest part of them identify themselves as palestinians. and i think it's also very, very crucial.

still to come for you on the program waiting on pay day employees accuse the palestinian authority of withholding their salaries to pressure how mass my hong kong centuries old cantonese opera is struggling to attract younger generations. hello and welcome to international weather forecast snows you look at europe's weather we've still got some rain across central areas in particular summer is quite heavy easterners all looking fine temps going to very nice for a full meal out across the west the deep area of low pressure developing and that'll be swinging into wards the u.k. but the important thing is that ahead of it will start to pull up air from the south and the warm air is going to spread across many western and central parts of europe over the next few days so as we head on into tuesday terms of twenty three madrid twenty one degrees expected in paris the rain across more central and southeastern era still there but time it should gradually be easing intensity but more unsettled from poland across into western russia so as we head down into north africa weather conditions here

putting themselves in the forefront on the front lines and instead you see whether it's the palestinian authority or a mass or whatever political faction they monopolize on palestinian efforts and they try to claim it as theirs and what's what's very impressive now in gaza and elsewhere with palestinians is them saying no we're not going to use this we have our demands and we're going to push forward. a lot i have to show people this tweet that you shot recently a great way to march i took this video last friday the scene was fascinating the gathering unprecedented men women old young kids all what defiles rainey tara and snipers all hoping to return some guys react to to israeli snipers and take astral stones and slings i am going to play this very well for us. was. the. word strong. this is the second friday the first friday i usually describe it as a celebration as a carnival of palestinians of all haters all political colors all political beliefs look at i mean this is was not hamas and this was not palestinian authority government this was a popular movement people were celebrating the kids

money people can't afford to feed their families salaries have been cut also coming from the palestinian authority in the west bank that people here don't no longer believe in how mass they no longer believe in the palestinian authority which which runs which is in the west bank they don't believe in international community they don't believe in the arab world because things have become so desperate here and i think this is what we're seeing at the border having these young people lose their fear because they know the risks israel does shoot but i think also interestingly yesterday what we saw at the border some people will tell you israel could have perhaps caused even more casualties than they did not think that perhaps an indication also that international pressure on their reactions to these peaceful protests are changing stephanie deck ally first there in gaza thank you now talks on syria are underway between the foreign ministers of russia iran and turkey the three countries have been pushing for a political solution through the a stop on a process that began last year but they remain divide

solution because of the attitudes of israel and the dispossession and hopelessness of the palestinian authorityght to know even more about each other than we ever did before, because of — not least because of those phones and social media and the connectivity of the world? phones drive me mad, actually, to be perfectly honest. in terms — the pope is going to ireland, the republic of ireland, in august for a couple of days. my wish would be to see him do what theresa may didn't do and go north of the border to newry, where the bishop there in the diocese has had to resign over his handling of a paedophile priest. mary mcaleese, former president of ireland and a canon lawyer of some repute, was banned from the vatican from speaking at a conference, a women's conference in the vatican, a few weeks ago because she said that the catholic church was misogynistic, it was homophobic, and asked what would it do to accommodate the 600 million women who are barred from the priesthood, given that all the work of the church comes via the priesthood. and, um, "there is no answer," she said.

well the whole system in gaza actually depends on both the palestinian authority and israel the first step is that whatever is needed the list of what is needed is submitted to the palestinian authority in ramallah they are the ones that will purchase always this patch to goods once that is done they will have to ask israel for permission and to coordinate with israel for dad all these goods to come into the gaza strip is a very lengthy procedures they don't get all what they want and also we spoke to some medical staff here and they say it also depends on what is going on politically now certainly the problems between for the hand how mass will make that easy medical staff say here than lack of national reconciliation is having a direct impact not only on the health system but also on the patients because many of the patients need to go elsewhere to go elsewhere to get treatment specially those who are suffering incredible lose these days they either the have the choice of either going for example to the to the occupied west bank to the hospitals there that are better equipped or the

in the occupied west bank for what it needs once the palestinian authority has that ready then it has to coordinate with the israeli authorities to allow everything in but the humanitarian condition basically in gaza is hostage to the political condition so many of the doctors re spoke to said there is a problem because the relations between how mass and it be a are to low well then we feel that the repercussions are on us they don't get all what they need and that this particular moment the health official the health ministry here in gaza has basically declared a state of emergency and i worsening situation there then i thank you so much harder for that hoda abdel-hamid life or is in gaza and another vigil was held in the occupied west bank this saturday to commemorate the life of yasser morse to john the palestinian journalist who was killed during friday's protests has a report. despite the blue protective vest he was wearing and despite the fact that the word press was in place and on the front of that best palestinian journalist yassin was shot by israeli forces while covering th

palestinian protesters in gaza. that was weeks of protests continue on the border between israel and gaza the highest authority in the palestinian liberation organization is up for election for the first time in more than twenty years the palestinian national council is voting for a new executive committee and discussing potential successors to president mahmoud abbas the p. and c. has around six hundred ninety members which includes representatives of various factions independents and military personnel but many a boycotting the convention in ramallah including islamic jihad and hamas which governs gaza. will be shocked when i'm at the mass confirms that any council that doesn't carry the unification idea of the palestinian ranks is a council that never expresses the whole of the palestinians it is a council hits the unity of our people and hits the organization and its legitimacy and its representation over all palestinians all palestinians living in gaza told al-jazeera they're increasingly angry and frustrated not only by the israeli and egyptian blockades but with their leaders stephanie decker reports from gaza

to come into the gaza strip where health officials here do put a forward a request to the palestinian authority in ramallah once that is approved it has to that request has to go to the israeli to the israeli coordinator of the crossings and it's only when you have that prior approval and prior coordination with the israeli side that everything can come into gaza and most of the time as according to what the conversations we had with doctors they can't get or what they need now there's also another issue there's some of the wounded here who do need to go elsewhere for treatment i was speaking for example earlier just a few minutes ago a patient who doctors told me might have to have his leg cut off dated simply because they can't treated me and now he has a paper that allows him to go to a nother hospital outside of the gaza strip in nablus in the occupied west bank well the regardless of the permit and that approval from the palestinian authority to pay for his medical treatment he still has to ask for permission to go through the crossing that permission is not only for do wounded but also fo

yeah of course that would be fantastic but it's just not the reality because the palestinian authority hamas must be very well the state of israel to exist they won't rest they don't want any peace they're happy to see the bloodshed continue while he's living safely in london he can talk on their what he's encouraging the violence that we're seeing incited by these textbooks. is a recipe for disaster brewing in. all over the humble artichoke it follows claims within the jewish community that the vegetable is actually not kosher and is therefore not fit for consumption. leaving a bitter taste in some people's mouths. in other headlines the u.s. department of homeland security is setting up a media monitoring service as part of the schema d.h.h.s. plans to keep an eye on more than two hundred ninety thousand global news sources and social media to will monitor data in more than one hundred countries one hundred languages rather and set up a database to include all people involved in news the critics all that surprised given president trump's much publicized lack of love for the media as
