Nigerian Police Detain the leaders of a separatist Movement Seeking to break away from neighboring cameroon thats only adding to tensions between the english and french speaking populations their. Elite. Are the new. Streaming online through you tube Facebook Live and aljazeera dot com thanks for joining us well public posturing or a principled stance egypt is being. Forces ny a New York Times report revealing that an egyptian Intelligence Officer asked the media to play down opposition to trumps their sit in on jerusalem aljazeera has not heard the content off those recordings but heres the upshot off that New York Times reports in leaked phone recordings a senior Intelligence Officer reportedly told leading t. V. Talk show hosts to influence their viewers to back trumps move despite widespread public condemnation the newspaper quoted the Intelligence Officer a cup captain a chef in holy suggesting palestinians should be satisfied with their capital instead of jerusalem the city in the occupied west bank is currently the base of the Palestinian Authority captain and who he was quoted telling the talk show hosts and intifada would not serve egypts National Security interests and could revive hamas while egypt says there is no proof that the Intelligence Officer mentioned actually exists and referred to its public position on jerusalem when it submitted a Un Security Council resolution demanding their reversal off that u. S. Decision so then separately the arab league which includes egypt has called for an International Recognition of is jerusalem as palestines capital some members of the organization as you can see have been meeting in amman in jordan the Foreign Ministers of six arab countries have proposed finding an alternative mediator in the Israeli Palestinian conflict instead of the United States. Joining us from what im on the occupied west bank well talk about the arab league in a moment but first on these audio leaks these reported audio leaks if theyre if. This is certainly not something that the palestinians want to hear. No youre absolutely right certainly this is something that will only complicate further an already very complicated situation look were living in a time when you know a month since u. S. President Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel there is a lot of sentiment on the street on the arab street amongst ordinary citizens that arab leaders have not done enough to stand in solidarity with the palestinians that while they have made statements condemning president trumps decision there is a lot of you know a lot of doubt here and other areas in the region about the actual intentions of the arab leaders throughout this region now i should state also that here is trying to get their hands on those recordings and verify them as well weve not yet been able to do so we have spoken with a political analyst and a palestinian official today they told us that in their view they do believe that the government of egypt from the top down is standing with the palestinians that they will continue to condemn president trumps decision they also stated an interesting point of view saying that the intelligence apparatus in egypt is massive and just because one particular person may have legitimately been caught trafficking in this does not mean that that is the official stance of the Egyptian Government but by and large youre right this is not something the Palestinian People would want to hear at a time where they already feel really hopeless and really abandoned by so many people in the region well feel look at what happened over the past twenty four to forty eight hours we saw some Foreign Ministers air Foreign Ministers meeting there and when they say theyre going to lobby the u. N. To recognize a palestinian state what are their next steps and do they put a timeline. What we know so far that he him is that there are plans afoot to try to convene an urgent meeting of the Foreign Ministers and that that should be taking place soon and not a lot of specifics beyond that and thats one reason why again the officials that we spoke with today in the analyst that we spoke with theyve said look this was a significant meeting its important that the Arab League Even if its not the full arab league or all of the Foreign Ministers that they held this meeting at this time that they reiterated their commitment to the palestinian cause that they said that they are going to lobby the International Community to try to recognize a palestinian state and make sure that that actually happens but the devil is in the details and those were speaking with today here are saying that yeah the meeting took place but whats key is what happens next theres not really a mechanism thats been put in place yet thats been locked down in order for very important steps to take place so that leaves many wondering about just how effective a meeting like this might be you know lets take a listen to more from this meeting this is what the Jordanian Foreign minister had to say. We now seek an International Global political decision to recognize the palestinian state on the border lines of nine hundred sixty seven with jerusalem as its capital that we will continue to take political and legal action to limit the repercussions of the u. Is decision and to show its seriousness. All in all that in so far its a bit of a mixed bag of palestinians were speaking with are very grateful to those members of the arab league that held this meeting theyre grateful for the support but they want to see further action theyd like to make sure that it starts happening fairly quickly ok mohamed jump to reporting from the thank you well lets just take a closer look at some other measures concerning egypt so the egyptian president has been fatah has sisi in fact cautioned trump prior to his official announcement last month the prominence a religious leader is like the amount of cairos influential mosque and the leader of egypts Coptic Church refused to meet the u. S. Vice president mike prensa when he was meant to go to the region in protest against trumps decision now egypt also played a role in helping to table the u. N. Security Council Resolution rejecting the establishment of any embassies in jerusalem it was vetoed by the United States before trumps announcement there was a flaw in relations between egypt and israel however sisi met the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu for the first time in public in september lets bring in aljazeera senior political analyst joining us from london if we just go back to the issue of these allegedly recordings. Said this captain a set off and who really had in fact made these calls to t. V. Talk hosts would he have been speaking on behalf of the Egyptian Government or yes most probably of course is not the kind of thing. An Intelligence Officers will take on his own when its a political issue and its certainly a sensitive issue. But for some of us who are familiar with egyptian talk shows and including the names that were mentioned in the New York Times articles and im one of those who for comical two and humorous reasons tend to follow these shows because theyre really the ultimate comedy whenever a presidency says something or whenever the government leaks anything you will see that each and every one of those talk show hosts are repeating more of the same of course or with always complimenting the president and supporting his policies and sold so forth so theres a real synergy between this various lets say tens of talk shows in egypt with the government policy is probably the least surprise the least surprising thing i heard this year is the fact that there is some kind of coordination between the Egyptian Government and egyptian talk shows but certainly about egypts official position cannot be based on audio leaks for a while and secondly that whats the interest in leaking this information to the press this type of information when it comes to an issue like palestine and jerusalem look the egyptian regimes notably those close to the United States are between a rock and a hard place and they want their cake and eat it too on the one hand they need to please their Public Opinion they need to show themselves to be champions of arab and muslim causes on top of that of course is jerusalem and on the other hand they need to appease and please the United States and especially its utterly. Aggressive lets call him President Donald Trump so on the one hand you know they need to convene these meetings and so on so forth and express their support for palestine and initiate perhaps a commission of palestine with jerusalem its capital with valor its undermining let alone condemning the american presence decision on juicer them so they try to do certain things publicly a certain things they try to do not so publicly but certainly they try they will try to tell the American Administration while they need to do certain things but when it comes to politics as usual they would try to do Something Like what weve heard which is make sure the the public in fear what Public Opinion influencers if you were like the talk show hosts in egypt would not incite the Public Opinion against america and its decision in jerusalem but rather try to smooth the way forward to convince the Public Opinion that for example im a law is just as important as jerusalem i know that youve read michael wharfs book the book that has just recently come out about trump and according to the book the white house strategist extract is a slice and say steve bannon said that trump would move the embassy to jerusalem on the first day and he also said let jordan take the west bank let egypt take gaza let them deal with it or think trying i want to get your reaction to what weve discovered from this book to specifically when it comes to Foreign Policy and the issue with a jerusalem. Well you know there were a few surprising things to hear in the book because of you know of all the things weve heard the last year but one of the interesting takes was wolf citing Henry Kissinger a saying in the throne administration that is a war going on between jews and non jews and what he was referring to is the camp of steve bannon on the one side are all men catholic and his event jellicoe by these on the other hand jared and his jewish by these from new york and indeed there was seem to be a war going on between christian and am bound out when it comes to influence Party Politics and when it comes to ideology and the socalled nativism and what is good on trade than what is good on muslim ban on so on so forth. But when it came to israel palestine there was no war there was an alliance in fact if anything we could say that the Trump White House was divided to two camps one camp was jewish zionist supporter of israel the other camp was none jewish zionist supporter of israel so really what you see from the from mr a should is a total synergy between the various parts that while theyre fighting on other fronts but when it comes to israel there are Ardent Supporter of israel and hence that all explains the position on juice of them and from taking a position that is quite close to israel and basically the palestinians my massada thank you for giving us that analysis from london you can send in any comments or questions you have too much on twitter hes a well we have more news out of israel and the government has just published a list of International Organizations that are now banned from the country and are suppose our social media producer tell us about that andrew well theres members of about twenty organizations primarily from europe in the United States who will no longer be allowed to enter israel because of their support for the boycott divestment and sanctions movement against the country now thats one thats put a considerable amount of pressure on israel israeli owned businesses as well as Foreign Companies that essentially enable the occupation so this Organization Says its aim is to end widespread violations of International Law well the organization now includes a u. S. Based organization jewish voice for peace which has been very vocal recently against president trumps moved to declare jerusalem as israels capital as well as the wide scale deportation of african jews and the organization has long supported b. D. s. We exist we are everywhere we speak and love and dream and everything we will not be won over by free vacation and scholarship money we will not accept a legacy that we will not quietly witness the violation of human rights in palestine we are better than we have ancestors to honor we have allies to honor we have ourselves to honor we commit ourselves to peace we will stand up with honest bodies to offer honest bread we commit to re invasion in the homeland to make room for justice we will stand up now Israels Strategic Affairs Ministry which is responsible for implementing this list had for months refused to divulge which organizations were going to be blacklisted well earlier on sunday interior minister already a kerry said that quote these people are trying to exploit the law and our hospitality to act against israel and to defame the country i will not scuse me i will act against this by every means. No hearts newspaper has been one of the few Media Outlets that covered this story before that full list came out a few hours ago but now many people are starting to react to it the organization itself says that the israeli governments decision is disconcerting but not surprising given the further erosion of democratic norms in the rising anxiety about the power of b. D. S. As a tool to demand freedom like Max Blumenthal whos an american author and blogger says that this boycott of quote bad jews will mainly be enforced against j v p leadership and more high profile activists he says its also in an attempt to intimidate new members from joining what is a rapidly growing group the journalist Benjamin Norton says zionism in his opinion has never been a movement for all jews he calls it a white supremacist colonial project so lots of very strong and stinging commentary after this list came out and naomi is one person whos against a v. P. And b. D. s but she calls this an unconscionable ban and another indicator of the sacrifice of israeli democracy to cynical demagoguery from this government now rebecca bill colmer sin is the executive director of jewish voice for peace she stated that as someone with considerable family in israel this policy will be a personal hardship but i also believe that it is an indicator of the b. D. s movements growing strength and hope that it will bring us closer to the day when all people in israel palestine will live together in equality and freedom so let us know what you think about this activist ban you can send us your thoughts using the hash tag news grid or you can tweet me directly im at.

C. So how significant was a john that we saw donald trump on saturday surrounded by his most senior staff discussing his Mental Fitness for the role as president. Its certainly extraordinary daryn he he started out yesterday tweeting about that was there were a series of tweets as you mentioned and today he began the day in typical president ial fashion tweeting leaving camp david for the white house great meetings its that or the kind of typical tweet that you would expect any president to make in this day and age but then he couldnt resist talking about the book that has been on his mind for much of the past week tweeting ive had to put up with a fake news from the day i announced that i would be running for president and now i have to put up with a fake book written by a totally discredited author Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well so well this is a book that continues to cause the president problems its obviously gotten under his skin and he took the opportunity yesterday as you mentioned with these Republican Leaders to talk about it at a time when those Republican Leaders really wanted to talk about their legislative agenda for twenty eighteen and a new Immigration Reform plan that had been a centerpiece of the trunk campaign but he could not stay on message he felt that he had to take this on and he has continued to do so today he was asked why he chose to make those comments and this is what he had to say i went to the best colleges of college i went to i had a situation where its a very excellent student came out and made billions and billions of dollars became one of the top businesspeople went to television for ten years was a tremendous success as you probably have heard ran for president one time in one and then i hear this guy that does not know me doesnt know being told by the way did not interview before three city interviewed me for three hours in the white house it didnt exist and so as we know its sunday a big day for us talk so is that john where you are so do we expect the discussion to continue over the book. It is already begun daryn the white house has dispatched age to defend the president s line on this Corey Lewandowsky his former Campaign Director was on t. V. This morning defending the president mike pompei oh the cia director was there and steve miller a combative aide who said this was a grotesque work of fiction he said the allegations in the book are a pile of trash and that the this was a girl bijou author of a garbage book the cia director mike pompei you called it pure fantasies that he met with the president every day and this was not the picture of the president that he had seen with his own eyes but the author himself Michael Wolff kept up the drumbeat today he appeared on television as well and he said this is a breakdown he said if anything the things he left out in the book were even more damaging than what appeared in the book and he went on to say its going to hit a wall the train keeps going but the wall is still there so this is a debate that has not ended the white house are taking it seriously enough that it is continuing this conversation Steven Miller was so combative on t. V. That a host had to actually cut him off in mid conversation with the author of the book the newly best selling book is not backing down despite some minor mistakes so far that have been found in that debate and you can expect on a trump to take this on hes arriving at the white house any time in the next half hour and i would expect he will continue to comment on this book as hes asked about it during all right said john hendren thank you well theres so much demand for the new book thats critical of the u. S. President on a trumpet stores cant even keep up so why has fire and fury angered trump so much and well both affect trumps presidency and u. S.

On the first of all we just havent seen durie not recent or ration so the leadership was arrested on friday but many people there heard about it through word of mouth since the internet is still shut off saturday was the hundredth day of an internet shutdown which is targeting English Speaking regions which activists have condemned as a form of collective punishment so on saturday people like many other days were posting some stories of what one hundred days without internet has meant to them and for their families many people unable to get in touch with loved ones others say that its affecting other things such as the delivery of basic Health Services in these regions as well as something very important to all cameroonians the economy one estimate is that this internet shutdown has cost the economy millions of dollars and this is in a region that is or was camerons emerging tech hub so well keep following this story and well see what happens with the leaders in nigeria but if youve got something to add you can get in touch me directly im at enter chapelle or just use the hash tag its a news group and were always keeping an eye out on news out of cameroon so you can head to al jazeera dot com for that swell giants off the ocean are on a collision course off the coast of california the waters are rich in food for blue whales but the largest animals on the planet are in danger in busy shipping lanes scientists are trying to devise an alert system on board vessels to stop accidents from happening are brown holes reports from Santa Barbara. I thought the blue whale is an all inspiring creature the largest animal that has ever lived they can weigh one hundred thirty six thousand kilos and stretched thirty three meters from nose to tail they may live from eighty to one hundred ten years but in the Santa Barbara channel even blue whales are no match for giant cargo ships when ships hit whales whales die there are about eighty endangered whales that are killed every year ago along the coast of North Western north america and thats a lot of whales for some of these whales that are quite rare in these populations we really think that that road kill is inhibiting the recovery of slowing down the recovery of these whales commercial whaling reduced blue whales to about one percent of their or original number before killing them was banned by an International Agreement in one nine hundred sixty six whales population is increasing worldwide but given their slow reproductive cycle scientists and government officials are concerned about their survival were at a point now where we have a chance to bring blue whales back from the brink of extinction we need to find the ways to slow ships down along the california coast researchers with the university of california and the buying off Ocean Initiative are working on a technologically sophisticated new wailed Warning System at a rate of visual surveillance hydrophones thermal imaging and data crunching all that information comes together to be alert that says hey ships watch out today is a bad day for whales please slow down if the ships build in two to four hours of their transit to accommodate for slower the slow speed zone to protect the whales then we can achieve what were trying to without regulation the Government Agency responsible has asked shipping companies to voluntarily cut their speed and even offered modest cash rewards for those who will do so but nevertheless ninety percent of. All ships that transit these whale rich waters go full speed ahead in shipping like any other Business Time is money no Vessel Master wants to hit a well its a tragic thing when it does happen and we do take steps to try and avoid it but the industry opposes mandatory speed limits in blue whale territory what we would like to see is the continuance of voluntary programs in order to collect the necessary data to inform that Decision Making process whats known already is this unless the ships slow down more of these magnificent animals will become roadkill rob reynolds aljazeera Santa Barbara well you can head to our website and check out our program earthrise its aljazeera as Award Winning environmental so exploring the most significant threats to our planet by highlighting Eco Friendly Solutions from around the world its on aljazeera dot com then click on shows then earthrise.
