disaggregation to raise any opportunity for the vicinity fiji's to be to pay some of the general assembly united nations resolutions which is one one for that means they're not going to be back to their original houses as this resolution say's so if we get that listing in state in the west bank and gaza that's means the refugees will only be eligible to go back to the palestine which is which means west bank and gaza so me as a refugee from a lead which. arab in gori an airport located now i'm not going back to my own original house that's one of the things that you could think about there's a lot of things that you could think about but the first thing that the most important thing is the right to return is not just. raised it's going to be. not not just a right it's it's not just to recognize a state and including the bill of rights in it you know i don't know where you get the energy from here at this i guess must get you down you see this story going all day in day out the international community's strong words isn't it when it comes to israel's continued settlement building or indeed the gaza block

united nations, becoming its 193rd member. add minced is due to be completed on thursday with a vote by the u.n. general -- admittance is due to be complete on thursday with a vote by the u.n. general assemblywe have the story of the sri lankan boatpeople inning to get to england. >> yes, a ship carrying 87 sri lanka andns was apprehended -- sri lankans was apprehended last week, but will not allow them passage. >> it has been a long and treacherous journey for these passengers. their boat ran into mechanical trouble when it was intercepted in indonesian waters and brought to shore. these refugees are refusing to get off the ship. they say they want to go to new zealand, where they think they will have a shot at a better life. but new zealand has reportedly said it will not accept them. there are women and children amongst the passengers. one woman is report of the pregnant. the passengers say they have enough supplies to last them a month. this is not the first time that indonesia has had to deal with the challenge of this sort. last year, a group of 200 sri lankan refugees refuse to disembark. they turned the ship into their home. even after all the waiting, they never reached their final

united nations recognition for an independent palestinian state in the west bank, gaza strip and east jerusalem. mahmoud abbas, head of the palestinian authority, said he will ask the u.n. general assembly to vote on the issue in september. however, in order to become an official member of the u.n., the palestinians would need the support of the security council, and the u.s. would most likely veto such an effort. >>> there were new guidelines released this week for christian missionaries. the document comes from the world council of churches, the vatican and the world evangelical alliance, which together they say represent 90% of the world's christians. the groups urge christians to reject violence or any "coercive" methods while attempting conversions. they also say members of other religions should be treated with respect. creators of the document say they hope to reduce the tensions that can sometimes arise when christians proselytize in non-christian societies. >>> we have a report today on the moral choices involved in the intense negotiations underway in washington over what to do about the country's $14.3 trillion debt. if the debt ceiling is not raised by august 2nd, in just on

feel confident the united nations would use its veto just as it has in the past to prevent passage of an unbalanced anti-israel resolution. and what exactly what u.n. general assembly recognition of a palestinian state do for the palestinians? absolutely nothing. it would not solve the palestinians' need for recognized borders nor would it solve issues like water rights or palestinian refugees. it would not enhance the prospect for successful negotiations. in fact, it would be seen by israel and many others as an act of bad faith creating yet another obstacle to successful talks. as president obama said in may, quote, for the palestinians, efforts to delegitimate idse israel will end in failure. symbolic actions to isolate israel in the united nationses won't create an independent state. a glance at recent history shows that he's right. in 1988, yassa ara fat garnered recognition from more than 100 nations. 23 years later, there is still no palestinian state. they don't want a bunch of declarations of statehood, they want a state and they should have one through the only means possible for attaining one. negotiations with israel. the leaders are committed to a peac

united states, a debate on future of palestinian independence. >>governor huckabee: the idea is there a decision which is, really, not possible to make, for the general assembly to establish palestine as an independent nationon. it is a major thing and it is a topic i covered with binyamin netanyahu this week in jerusalem at the interview. >>clayton: we will see that tonight on huckabee show but we have a preview, the first american televiseed interview since his trip here. >> really the future is what happens here between us and our neighbors and to get peace between us and the palestinians we need to negotiate peace. to the extent resolutions are pass and one-sided, antiisraeli resolutions are front loaded in the u.n. and that pushes peace become because it tells the palestinians you do not have to try. >>juliet: what is your perception of him? >>governor huckabee: to me one of the most intelligent and thoughtful and balanced leaders in the world. i am a big fan, a wonderful personal history. went to high school in pennsylvania, by the way. and he very much understands america. american politics. but he also is a man of great courage and conviction and a person who recognizes the delicate position israel
