they applied the same strategy in the occupied west bank and golan heights.ut victory and occupation did not bring peace. israel fought its arab neighbors again in 1973. they battled lebanese militias and the palestine liberation army, or plo, in the north. although israel returned the sinai in 1981, terror campaigns persisted through the '70s and '80s in the west bank and gaza. hoping to eventually trade land for peace, israel gambled on a 1993 plan negotiated in oslo. the main thing that oslo produced was mutual recognition between israel and the plo. for the plo, recognition of israel meant, all right, we are now accepting a two-state solution. for the israelis to accept the plo meant that they were accepting, in effect, the plo agenda. and they knew the plo agenda was statehood. if you accept the idea of having a palestinian state, and we insist on having a palestinian state-- you know, we need a capital-- and the only capital that could be, from a geographical point of view, for what would be a palestinian state in the west bank, would be jerusalem. man:

. >> of jewish settlements in the west bank have long been a source of tension. they are considered illegal under international law but israel disputes this. israel as wanting to demolish a village to make way for a new settlement. it claims the village itself was constructed illegally, but campaigners say forcing them to move contravenes international law. >> the 10-year-old is a good student. but like manyirls, she loves going to school. the boys, less so. gold from old tires, the school is precarious in more ways than one. all of the students here are children of arab nomads that have relocated to the dusty valley in the occupied west bank. now the israelis want them to move again. >> the school is part of our community, if it is closed and demolished, the girls in pa they will probably have to drop out of education. >> the many jewish settlement overlooking the school are illegal under international law. israel says this is israeli state land and has plans to develop the settlement. they say they have no legal right to be here, so they must move on. >> it was

. >> the palestinian west bank is voting in elections this weekend that the government hopes will help overcome internal divisions and provide strength for a push for independence and statehood. >> the last time palestinians went to the polls was in 2006 for general elections, which were decisively won by the islamic hamas movement. >> hamas is refusing to take part in saturday's vote, which is being viewed with a leap by many in the secular party discovering that voters are becoming increasingly conservative, especially regarding women's issues -- being viewed with relief by many in the secular party, which is discovering that voters are becoming increasingly conservative. >> she is running with an independent women's list with one goal -- to get more women in politics. not an easy task in this conservative city. she has a hard time convincing even women to vote for her. >> the women's list has to appeal directly to women, asking questions like, "why don't you push for your rights? why can women the decision makers? why can a woman not say what she needs -- how much water, electricity

you can see with this is going in the west bank. the israelis and then to say we would do the rest. >> views really -- israelis who say she is traveling in their own buses, have grown community centers. but it is different. they don't have their land. this is not a fight for rights but their core belief. if you grow up in the indian community above this occurred go to the pine ridge reservation in south dakota and talk to a member of the american indian movement? >> there are several questions about the media coverage. why it is so flawed and one asks there are suburban tax on christians and another asks about the day dead new dain if we have a more recent data. read do. if they came five years ago from "the new york times" and on the inane network's news and pretty much what i showed you about the first year. like to emphasize the first year because we know first impressions are so powerful. that makes the context with which they see this issue and they don't know palestinians are being killed they think the actions are retaliatory

israel's settlements on the west bank precluded the possibility. there's too many settlers armed and committed to staying there and not clear they could remove them without risking civil war, and there's mild polling majorities in favor of a two-state solution, there's no significant israeli constituency for giving up sovereignty over east jerusalem and a palestinian state without jerusalem as a capital is a non-starter. there's one state between the mediterranean and jordan river, a state connected by a highly developed infrastructure of roads and water pipelines. i'm not sure when the point of return was passed, seven years ago, my first visit to israel, it was plausible to speak of the palestinian state. now did -- now it does not. a democratic process, appointment of envoys searching for commonground, building on previous agreements like those arrived at under the prime minister don't have chance of success. there's no political majority in israel in favor of withdrawing from the territory and settlements israel would have to do to allow a genu

occupying power has continued its construction and expansion of settlements in areas throughout the west bank and continued suffocating locals -- its suffocating blockade and raids against people who continue to suffer from the destructive aggression committed against them years ago. nearly 5000 palestinians also remain captive as prisoners and detainees in isreali jails. we call on the international community to tell the government of israel to respect our conventions and to investigate the conditions of the detention of the detainees. we ask for their release. they are soldiers in their struggle for freedom and peace. at the same time, the occupying power continues to fight and besieged and to influence severe restrictions on movement, preventing the palestinian authorities from instrumented vital infrastructure projects and providing services to its citizens. they are being prevented from cultivating their lands and water from being irrigated. in vast areas of the occupied palestinian territory which are classified as serious subject to the absolute control of occupation encompassing appro

i believe israeli settlements on the west bank have precluded the possibility. there are too many settlers armed and intensely committed to remain there. it is not clear that any israeli government could remove them without risking a civil war. and though there are mild israeli polling majorities in favor of a two-state solution, there's no significant israeli constituency for giving up any sovereignty over east jerusalem and a palestinian state without jerusalem as a capital is a nonstarter. there is now one state between the mediterranean and the jordan river, a state connected by highly-developed infrastructure of roads and water pipelines. i'm not sure when the point of return was passed. of seven years ago on my first visit to israel, it still seemed quite plausible to speak of a palestinian state. now it does not. so i believe any kind of normal diplomatic process -- appointment of a special envoy, searching for common ground, building on previous agreements such as those arrived at under prime minister olmert and prime minister barak -- don't have much ch

so you have to wear that so i remember on the west bank having to have my cheek on the asphalt.er getting tear gas into thinking that this is beyond terrible. >> the focus that i saw is that you had a plastic bag over your head. >> that was not me that was a local villager. it was incredible and i was always told as a child cannot do that. however, that was a makeshift tear gas mask. >> what did you see that was not making the major headlines. >> what is interesting is that they do not speak arabic. and the legitimacy comes to the talking points. what i tried to do is give an experimental story on who are these faces. and that is part of the methodology. and the experience of being there, what do they do in making them. and being able to write about it with a fairly level of reckless abandonment. >> how were you greeted in that region? >> it is funny in certain ways. when you walk around with a surf board, and a backpack. and the locals from israel, and a level not have that same reaction. when i walked and from israel, lebanon. that is how i got some friends with surfers and al

israeli leaders and some palestinian leaders on the west bank are not impressed.ohn is joining me. this is a moment in history. >> it is. they have prepared quite a welcome for the emir and his wife. they arrived early this morning and crossed on the red carpet. they're getting ready for a big rally at the football stadium. not many people lack a moment, but i feel the stadium will be full in a few hours time. hamas is very much trying to make political capital. the first head of state to come here. has become one of hamas' primary benefactors. has announced a further $150 million to go towards construction projects in gaza. >> these are huge amounts of money. and not everyday that qatar the israeli government would see eye to eye on an issue, but they seem to here. >> it's interesting because qtar is one -- qatar is one of the u.s.' principal allies in the region. some senior this as interference in palestinian politics. but money does not come for free. that qatar will want something in return. qatar is in a fairly unique position to put some leverage over hamas

some of our -- some of the videos we distributed were to banks in china town such as east west, bank f orient, wells fargo, bank of america, chase bank, citibank. in fact, the last victim knew about this scam already but she still fell for it because of i guess the pressure and superstition and beliefs. we haven't stopped. we will still have more outreach. i have another senior lunch coming up. i think the district attorney's office is also scheduling more outreach to the community. that is just a little overview of what we have been doing at central station. approximate >> captain tom, do you know when the six suspects were arrested? what time or date they were arrested? >> that was -- this was in the first series. >> yeah. >> this is before i got to central station. this was a while back. i think lieutenant stalini would have that information. >> the second and third series have decreased significantly. >> my officers said everyone in the community was talking about this. i think that scared them off. but we had to make a decision with economic crimes whether to broadcast this or tr

complaints about prisoner abuse in israeli jails, torture by rival palestinian security forces on the west bank. the report by human rights watch acknowledges that happens. it also says that it is no excuse. >> a chinese owned company has filed a lawsuit against president obama for blocking its purchase of wind farms here in the u.s.. the president said there was security concerns. they are close to a naval facility, and an area of restricted airspace. it is rare for foreign investment to be blocked in the u.s. this is the first time in 22 years. is this more about american politics than in national security policy? >> of the white house said that it took this decision because the company at the heart of the dispute could have taken actions which would have impaired u.s. national security. these when farms lie close to a military base in oregon. that is used as a training site for unmanned drones, which of course is highly secretive and sensitive equipment. the chinese company says that it will fight the decision by mr. obama to block the sale. they said that he acted unlawfully. here in china,

. >>> neighboring west bank, palestinians are heading to the boels for the first time in six years people living there are voting for new mayors and local council members. the palestinian authority seeks to boost the sagging popularity. the government is also hoping today's vote will send a message to rival hamas which controls part of the territory including the gaza strip. >>> in france, the country's highest earners will now have to pay more in taxes. we hear it here but in france it means something much different. parliament voted yesterday to raise taxes to 75% for people who earn more than a million dollars. they say the law would generate $273 million per year to help lower france's deficit. the tax hike is scheduled to last two years. >>> and one of the world's smallest countries is celebrating a royal wedding. the couldn't prince of luxembourg got married today exchanging vows with a countess from neighboring belgium. they attended the ceremony. in case you were wondering lux xem bourg is smaller than the state of rhode island. >>> still to come at 5:00, caring for your pet can b

barcelona is a particularly attractive team to palestinians living here and in the west bank. not merely because the spanish side features supporting greats such as lionel messi but because some palestinians feel a bond. it was a belief that barcelona had invited this man. gilad shalit is a former israeli soldier held hostage five years in gaza by hamas. he was finally released last year. hamas called for palestinian fans to boycott the game by refusing to watch it live. the head of the match, palestinians sympathized with the militant group. >> football is a sport we like when it carries the message of freedom and love. but we are against it when a soldier is invited, because then it makes people the victims and the aggressors. >> barcelona tried to avoid a diplomatic row but also inviting palestinian delegates to the game, but to no avail. the clubs saw to clarify its position in a statement on its web site. -- the club sought to. >> barcelona has always wanted to promote peace and harmony in the middle east. >> many fans did watch the game in the coffee shops of gaza, but t

to the west, in the hills beyond the nile's west bank, the royal tombs of the valley of the kings were cut into limestone cliffs. their interiors are richly decorated with hieroglyphs and paintings-- signs and symbols that detail the necessary steps to attain immortality. egypt's power and the grandeur that came with it were well-established by 2500 bc when the great pyramids at giza were built. the sphinx was a philosophy of government set in stone. it depicted the king as fearless, cunning and brave as the lion. and as crucial to egypt as the nile itself. the king was not just a political leader but a religious leader too. in the minds of the ancient egyptians, the pharaoh's power and authority as a king stretched far beyond the boundaries of his country-- and into the cosmos itself. after death, he would escape the earthly bounds of his tomb, board a solar boat and sail into immortality. this vision became material in objects and images found in the tombs and temples as a way of pre-ordaining a central idea: after a perilous and carefully prescribed journey through the night, the ki

does that mean each of its gaza and jordan gets the west bank?i don't know, but differs ill keeps the territories, though either stopping a democracy or stop being a jewish day. i know there are problems with the palestinians, serious ones. i believe there could've been a deal at oslo and could've been peace. i am not naÏve. but i think the constant building of settlements is undermining israeli security in causing the world to condemn it, israel. and i would like to know what your answer is. this is to keep the territories and rollover and other people? i would bet to differ. was your solution here? >> that is to buy the book and read the chapter about three state solution. but i will answer it. my vision first also long-term vision. in israel for politicians, they speak about instant solution millican instant gaia. so for me now and i'll show you resulted in 20 days. i offer you the opposite. i tell you vote for me now, but i don't think he would be instant. nothing will happen tomorrow morning. but my long-term vision speaks about three states

in the capital reign in what was dubbed anti monte de similar scenes were witnessed in the trades west bank has turned on the us to rally against never ending government cuts but we feel like we are now under a percentage by our government that they are doing this that we are not we don't agree with them and we are telling them on the diamond but they don't listen as they are sturdy anger spread across year thousands of people have taken to the street and it's not just in madrid for in greece to italy big you're using countries and small this is a euro crisis that doesn't discriminate affecting people of all ages and from all walks of life. here in spain the unemployment figures now top a whopping twenty five percent this is a younger generation that's been hit the hardest if you look at the stats for the country you see the half the sixteen to twenty four year olds in the house of work everything missing presumed unemployment poverty. the ferns. in people here police offices. dividing the protesters from the governments that more and more they growing to live with that of g.t. you'll find

are saying that the americans and the europeans and the and the west bank community can do can do more by stopping the smuggling of weapons by pushing the saudis the qataris the turks and the and their allies to stop smuggling weapons into syria and i disagree that the americans are not taking the full opportunity there taken a full opportunity and the evidence is that the as the other guest said from beirut that the the rebel groups are getting stronger yes they're getting stronger in terms of military equipment also i mean the today the year doubled as was the case in afghanistan against as always union and the and that in the past century they have now. missiles a drunk missiles that anti-aircraft advance missiles that have are being smuggled by the americans through their allies to the rebel forces so but the situation and the solution the situation points that the solution is not a military solution there should be a dialogue between the different groups inside syria as i'd still enjoy some popularity in syria and therefore there should be a cease fire there is a chance now to hav

some most number of cases since world war two was and it is i gave up on a c n n in gaza hours i west bank or . was it would have been to create the jewels of the matter or it is sold out of lebanon or in other parts of their board so this is not the issue it was ok it is you can lost rules all right i want to i want to stay here your old i want to stay with syria flint if i go back to you it looks more and more like a city carrying more do we should we start saying sectarian war instead of civil war because when we add all the proxies in it's sectarian all the way down the line . i think that the sectarian card has basically been used by the opposition element and by some of its. sternal supporters as a way of mobilizing support against this so supposedly infidel regime in damascus i think that i mean certainly the assad government draws a lot of its support from religious minorities in syria but that's not the only base of support that it has and i think that to the extent this conflict is becoming sectarian eyes that's being done by elements on on the opposition side and it's not a very
