to negotiate this while washington is also mediating talks between the players which also includes sadat my question to you hey is it does president asked me not necessarily think that much will come out of the mediation by washington why go ahead and ask south africa's president to also come in and mediate i think i think both egypt and if you know if you're looking for leverage when they don't have any directly over one another and so the hope that perhaps prime minister ahmed spoke is that the south african president can help. increase ethiopia standing in the talks while of course cairo has a long standing relationship with the americans and so they're hoping that the americans will help them achieve more preferable compromise in the final agreement right now the washington talks all ongoing what can we expect from that. well they're scheduled to have to resolve everything in these talks by january 15th by wednesday if they fail to do so then they would have to move charter tracie based on the existing agreements between the 3 countries currently the rhetoric between ethiopia and egy

about the head of the palestinian national initiative party dr malta hike heard all from the big and sadat sent a university and they give us a very different reactions to the do. it's not even an american plan it's actually an israeli written plan an american envelope the reality is killing the possibility of 2 state solution by substituting the potential palestinian state with clusters of ghettos panel stands as you can see in the map that mr trump has published it creates a situation of diminishing of one nation over another that ignores 1st of all historical facts ignores the rights of the palestinian people ignores the emotional feeling of all the people in this region so in my opinion it's an act of recklessness and it cannot continue and palestinians will never accept it we cannot accept to be slaves of a system of occupation and that is the exact description of what apartheid is look historically joslyn was never any capital of any arab islamic state so why do they need joe wilson and why can they have a mullah or while our bodies you know the parliament of the palestinians is alre

and currently at the center for israeli studies at american university and shibley telhami the anwar sadat professor for peace and development at the university of maryland thank you all so much for being with us norah let me start with you let me ask you as this deal is laid out what are the fundamental and core principles that you would hope to see in this plan if it were to have any traction whatsoever. i think that the most important thing about this plan is that we know almost everything in it even before it's revealed to us because of what the trumpet administration has done since 2016 they have close the p.l.o. office in washington d.c. withdrawn funding from the un relief works agency for palestinian refugees they have moved the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem they have basically written on the wall for us that they are not interested in peace the core principles of this arce even made more obvious by the fact that they call it a deal except the party that they want to make a deal with is not even at the table this would be absolutely laughable if it weren't so dangerous and wha

population living with 5.5 dollars a day or less and that's pretty much living in poverty conditions so sadat's the stark inequality we're looking at but let me also say that this is not happening by chance it's clearly a rigged system an economic system which is tilted in favor of that it which makes the rich richer and the poor continue to live in poverty and if you look at the protests around the world that people are not willing to accept these levels of fini quality and we need to end the billionaire it's quite noisy there in davos behind you in the conference in switzerland what's it like when you tell delegates there at davos this week about what you just said i mean surely a natural outcome of society is the name to be meritocratic absolutely as the people. gathered here are people who benefit from this big nomic system and they must really look at the larger world outside but we wait quickly tell you about a woman from india she wakes up every morning i name is which today we had 3 am walks with 3 kilometers to get water for the family then goes and gets 4 door send children to school
