Hosts to play down the u. S. President s recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the New York Times quoted. Of a Senior Intelligence officer telling her to diminish opposition to Donald Trumps moon thats being released at the same time as an Arab League Meeting over the creation of a palestinian state the home of reports in the occupied west bank. One month after Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel some members of the arab league met in jordan to say no. Will come our goal is to overturn the american decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and to assert that it has no it legal effect. We have specific requests the most important of which is the recognition of a palestinian state with jerusalem as its capital according to the june the fourth nine hundred sixty seven borders as many palestinians say the wall saturdays meeting in iman was important they were expecting more a little bit disappointed that they cannot go beyond just stressing this critic position and try to be up to the challenge and take. This to. This very dangerous position of the United States at a time when many in the arab world believe regional leaders arent doing enough to show solidarity with palestinians egypt stance is being called further into question by an article in the New York Times the newspaper reported that some egyptian t. V. Personalities have been pressured to play down opposition to president trumps decision on jerusalem adding that in leaked phone recordings egyptian Intelligence Officer captain ussher for the holy reportedly told leading t. V. Talk show host to influence their viewers to support the decision despite condemnation from the government and egyptians nationwide bob eleven. Im letting you know the position of egypts National Security regarding the issue of declaring the capital of israel there have to be compromises if we reach a point where drew slim becomes the capital of israel and ramallah becomes the capital of palestine in order to end the war and avoid more death and we could probably do that but in return the borders have to be secured. Egypt state Information Service denied the report stating that it was inappropriate for the New York Times to publish such an allegation and adding that the times report claims that captain ussher for the holy is an officer with the egyptian general intelligence without presenting its readers with the slightest evidence as to the truth of this piece of information or that a person by this name exists in the first place palestinian Officials Say they believe egypt is continue to support them but that the u. S. Has perhaps intentionally muddied the waters that i think that the. United states working. And tension only actually. To try to create an atmosphere which says that their move has been. Committed all taken with the tests at the approval of certain out of governments. These developments have not yet had much of an impact on the ground here the major concern for promise to me and concrete measures to alleviate their suffering.

And one never found. Reports from. Nature the historian. Wants the world to know. The center of the plaza goes through here to the quake its a sacred space. Where only one day a year the sun rays pass directly from one side to the other even to get out of the know. Its here surrounded by seven hundred year old trees that the first ever memorial to one hundred seventy one might put a big tims of chiles former military dictatorship will soon be formally opened up here. Shortly after the nine hundred seventy three military coup could he needs twenty three year old brother nelson a left wing University Student was detained by soldiers and never seen again but he made a race for them and thats when i understood for the first time the meaning of state terrorism the fact that i could escape and go into exile explains why im alive to tell the story. It took twenty warrants for nelson quoting old family Google Scholar the soldiers had shot him dead and thrown his body into this forever to this day only one of the supporters who disappeared during that period with her mains were ever found. Thousands of chileans were executed or disappeared during the pinochet dictatorship but the fate of the indigenous my putsch victims has until now received little attention in a country where they have long been discriminated. My dear lynette remembers how secret police referred to her father a teacher and a poet as the indian she says they were all vilified for being. My father was vomiting blood and urinating blood from the beatings he received when they brought him back from prison hours later they took him away again and he disappeared forever weve never been able to accept his death.

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 me 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 the 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 way old Warning System in a radio a 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 for 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.
