Will be off the table trump insists he still wants the war with mexico but backs a bipartisan solution to help on documents with migrants and cracking down on crime online we look at why you know combating hate speech in germany is facing so much criticism. One welcome to the program these three armies carried out raids on a number of villages close to the occupied west bank town of nablus after a thirty five year old israeli was shot dead the army secured the area to the south west of nablus a military zone there are reports of skirmishes in the village of tail and samarra and the settlers throwing stones at passing cars in the village of red how a force that has more now from west jerusalem harry im not sure if its right here sorry harry said i wasnt sure if you could hear me there is that can you update us the details. Yes sure as you say this was a thirty five year old man a resident of this illegal israeli outpost southwest of nablus in the occupied west bank he was in a car on the main road route sixty near by that outpost when he was shot dead there are reports that there were twenty two bullets that hit his car he was shot in the neck and chest the Israeli Military is saying that it cant confirm whether there was one gunman or more than one he was taken to hospital fairly close to tel aviv where he was pronounced dead this thirty five year old man was named razia he was a rabbi in this community in this illegal outpost inside the occupied west bank so a person of some stature within that community and there have been as you say a number of Israeli Settlers whove gathered around a checkpoint south of nablus theyve been throwing stones at vehicles and the Israeli Forces continue to search for the gunman or gunmen and harry can you tell us a bit more about the area which israel has the cleared a military zone and what that that means. Well this is around Nablus Nablus is a major town in the occupied west bank and there are a number of illegal settlements and outposts in this region so it has long been a center of tension between palestinians and Israeli Settlers in the instance of declaring it a military zone well that means that essentially the army has reinforced its positions around there it can really populate and build up checkpoints with great ease they raided two villages tel and sorrow as you say they have now after some confrontations within those villages withdrawn to the entrances of those palestinian villages they also went into palestinian neighborhoods in the west of nablus as well confiscating security cameras there were more confrontations with palestinians there as well hamas in the gaza strip has at least welcomed this attack saying it is the first the first practical response with fire presumably theyre talking about a response to the jerusalem decoration by donald trump although they didnt make that clear and a reminder of what was still to come the Prime Minister of israel Benjamin Netanyahu has offered his condolences to the family of the victim via twitter other israeli politicians are calling for further action by the Israeli Military to ensure as one member of the Israeli Knesset the Parliament Said to ensure that the palestinians were shown that israeli blood carries a high price have a force that their line from ice to some hairy thanks. The u. S. State department has praised the outcome of the first time level talks between north and south korea more than two years the two countries have agreed to hold military discussions pyongyangs Nuclear Ambitions will be avoided washington said it would be interested in joining talks florence three reports now from seoul. Until recently North Koreans refused to even pick up the phone when south koreans called the border hotline so it was significant to see resawing whos in charge of into korean relations for the north korean government stepping over the border into the south he led a five member team of high ranking diplomats into a meeting with a south korean counterpart in whats known as the truce village at panmunjom. Before our talks resume after north and south korean ties have been severed for a long time but i believe the first step is have the journey number and leave we came to this meeting with a serious and sincere attitude and with the thought of giving our brethren who have high hopes for this dialogue in valuable results as the first gift of the year on the meeting did produce results north korea says it will send a delegation of athletes and team members to next months Winter Olympics in south korea the south says it will consider suspending sanctions if it helps north koreas participation in the games in. Both sides have also agreed to hold military talks to prevent accidental clashes and ease tensions as well as conduct other high level exchanges to improve into korea ties but attempts to discuss north Koreas Nuclear bomb and Missiles Program got nowhere with the head of the delegation from pyongyang warning that such discussions could damage relations the north has long maintained that its Nuclear Arsenal is necessary to deter an invasion by u. S. Troops and south koreas proposal for talks on reunions for family members whove been separated for decades met with little response from the north despite that many in the south see any talks happening at all as a positive step. For us. I believe these forward diplomatic discussions can result in peace for an a c. The Korean Peninsula is a dangerous place thats under the constant threat of war and i hope those concerns dont become reality and after a year of high tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in japan and across the pacific including the threat of military action by the u. S. These talks are already being heralded as a breakthrough florent slowly aljazeera seoul your state department has welcomed the meeting between north korea and south korea called the talks a good first step and hopes of willing to discussions on denuclearization than estabrook has more now from washington d.

In his desire for a border wallace part of Immigration Reforms the president says lawmakers need to find a bipartisan solution to protect thousands of young socalled dream immigrants he says any agreement must include funding for border with mexico complete how could his following events in washington d. C. Well certainly there has been repeated speculation about the president s Mental Fitness when it comes to his presidency those accusations intensify in the past week but that may have been countered by a Spontaneous Press Conference by the president a bipartisan appearance of both democratic and republican lawmakers here at the white house that appeared to run in front of the press real time negotiations on a thorny issue that has been under resolvable in the United States for years and that is the issue of illegal immigration as well as Border Security the president showing that he not only despite accusations to the contrary was engaged in knew the issues but he also seemed to signal that there was a willingness to work with his critics particularly when it comes to issues like Border Security and something known as doc our deferred action on childhood arrivals essentially what to do about thousands of Illegal Immigrants brought to the United States living here for years but brought here as children many now adults we dont have six months for the doctor. Because if youre going to negotiate i mean what would really have meant we wont i mean you know its possible were not going to agree with you when its possible but this should be no reason for us not to get to start a joke i will say when this group comes back hopefully with that agreement this group and others from the senate from the house comes by. Without a grilling im shouting at me i will be so now the issue of immigration is key to a looming deadline and that is funding the u. S. Government that deadline a little more than a week away may have something to do with the fact that republicans democrats along with the president working together in a bipartisan fashion the president is still insisting that he wants funding for his border wall along with southern u.
