Im Richelle Carey this is al jazeera life and also coming up. When the people of rose up against the crimes of their corrupt to traitor. I did not stay silent donald trump uses a state of the union speech to lash out at iran will bring you the iranian response. Some of these afghan refugees have lived in pakistan for generations but a deadline for them to leave is just hours away. And a military push that made americans question whether the vietnam war could be won a combat photographer remembers the tet offensive fifty years later. The European Union says its increasing its Financial Support to the palestinian territories following the u. S. Decision to withhold funding earlier this month at a u. S. Foreign policy chief fredricka murder any announced an extra fifty three Million Dollars in aid at a session of International Donors to palestine and brussels it follows warnings from the un the gazans economy is on the verge of collapse is live for us and brussels so the dont tell us more about the urgency of this meeting today. Well in the last half hour weve been hearing from Frederica Moore greeny the head of the. Foreign policy wing as well as norways foreign minister who was in the region recently both admitting that this extraordinary session of this donors group came about as a response basically to President Trumps decision last month that the u. S. Would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and a response to the reaction to that the angry reaction in much of the region norways foreign minister outlined some of the challenges that she hoped would be discussed today challenges which she said were crucial to get the almost defunct Peace Process back on track there is a need for the International Community to recommit to a common strategy of building the institutions that will ultimately lead to a negotiated two state solution and there is also a need for a comprehensive plan in supporting. The reception of control in gaza so the dame lets talk more about the m. Pact of this u. S. Cut to funding having obviously theres a thats our monetary impact but that impacts so affects so many other things what are the wealth the real impact of this. Well i think everybody involved in the issue and that includes egypt whose foreign minister is here of course they control one of the borders into the gaza strip. Many countries are extremely worried that if there is a cuts in funding to the palestinians and lets not forget that the u. S. Is withholding for now sixty five Million Dollars worth of funding to overrule the agency which provides Crucial Services to palestinians in places like gaza if there is a if there is a drop in International Funding theyre worried that that could lead to violence basically tightening further weakening the Palestinian Economy and thats according not just to the two officials around the region but to Israeli Intelligence sources as well theyre telling the Israeli Government theyre very worried we did hear on tuesday from the head of the russia q eight or nine European Countries are speeding up their contributions this year its a keep those Services Going but in the longer term there really is a worry that a cut in funding could impact on Security Cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and israel as well and thats something that worries everybody involved in the Peace Process because theyre reiterating that one of the main concerns one of the main priorities is israels security situation alongside offering out hope of a future palestinian state will that wont be possible if there is no cooperation so right now theyre very worried and theyre trying to get money promised and theyre trying to get talks going again it wont be easy of ally parson bustles thank you madame. Now the question if u. S. Aid and where it will go was one of a host of Foreign Policy issues covered in Donald Trumps first day of the union speech the president outlined a plan for tougher immigration policy a powerful American Military and a Strong NuclearDeterrence Program and as alan fischer reports from washington he also appealed for unity at home. Oh donald trump thats got to go for a president who wants to unite the country his journey to the capitol in washington was marked by protests. Because they wanted us inside a much warmer welcome for donald trump. The state of the union traditionally when a president leaves his vision for the future the state of our union is strong for donald trump a chance to look back at the tumultuous first year he boasted about his economic successes since the election we have created two point four million new jobs in thad including two hundred thousand new jobs in manufacturing alone but he talked about cutting black unemployment is a storm the reaction from some democrats the row over immigration helped close down the government earlier this month he appealed to democrats to what with him and republicans to finally sort the issue so lets come together. Set politics aside and finally get the job done. And as he talked about to migration there were audible boots under the current broken system a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives under our plan he talked about the battle against eisel claiming huge success the pledging there was more to be done and of the need to invest more in americas military in a line not trailed by the white house the president revealed a new policy on the Detention Camp a guantanamo being cuba overturning a decision by barack obama i just side prior to walking in an order directing secretary mabus to keep open the detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay alley and after a u. N. Vote which criticized the u. S. Decision to recognize to receive them as the capital of israel it was a clear threat to those who stood against his administration i am asking congress to pass legislation to help ensure American Foreign assistance dollars always share american interests and only go to friends of amanda knox and her dad there was no mention of the Russian Investigation but there was mention of iran and north korea but the president ended with a familiar message and its the people who are making America Great again the democrats reply came from the son of a Famous Family congressman joe kennedy his great uncle was president john kennedy their record is your view to our highest american ideal. The belief that we are all worthy that we are all equal that we all count on club wanted to bring the country together and believes this speech will help democrats want to see that his actions his intention alan fischer washington. Time he has to state of the union speech to criticize the iranian government he is urging congress to address what he calls fundamental flaws in the Iran Nuclear Deal when the people of iran rose up against the crimes of their corrupt dictatorship i did not stay silent america stands with the people of iran in their courageous struggle for freedom they run in foreign minister job and cirie responded on twitter saying this again confirms his ignorance of iran and the region everyone knows where he stands and its certainly not with the iranians and he surpassed sickly added his virtuous democratically elected clients and our region may cheer but not those on the receiving end of their tyranny and weapons including in many children and in a speech donald trump also warned against the Nuclear Threat from north korea north koreas reckless pursuit of Nuclear Missiles could very soon threaten our homeland we are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from ever happening has to experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation i will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position. We need only look at the deprived character of the north korean regime to understand the nature of the Nuclear Threat it could pose to america and to our allies hostile final it is a republican political strategist at the Advisory Firm d. C. International he says trumps write a book on north korea has had a positive effect but we have to keep in mind that President Trump and his team have version wrong believe that their tactics which includes the president s tone over the last year has worked it prompted north korea to reach out to south korea and begin some negotiations they also believe that their tone has prompted the International Community to do more on north korea whether its on sanctions enforcement were just not welcoming North Koreans to their countries to do business or maintain diplomatic posts so the tone just does not concern the Trump Administration or the reaction or potential reaction from north korea is certainly not going to factor into the word choice or the tone of voice that the president uses when he talks about north korea and we saw that again in the state of the union for this companies are hoping to do more business in china in their leaky tang welcomed Prime Minister theresa may and a fifty strong trade delegation a three day visit is aimed at securing a Free Trade Agreement before practice it when britain leaves the European Union adrian brown joins us live from beijing so a major it seems like that theyre trying to plan for whats coming for where there may be some some holes to fill. Thats right richelle uncertainty really is overshadowing this visit its a challenging visit of course for to resume a because of all those questions which keep being asked about her future as british Prime Minister and also really what happens post breaks it in really her aim here her mission here in china is to try to reassure chinese leaders that post brick said therell be no negative impact on sino u. K. Relations now britain and china have a pretty strong trading relationship a trade between these two countries is worth some fifty nine billion pounds at the moment thats very very strong indeed and that trade has in fact grown by more than sixty percent in the past eight years so theres plenty that the United Kingdom does that still interest china china still sees the United Kingdom as being very valuable to its economy but it wants that reassurance that things arent going to change too much post brechts it now earlier on the british Prime Minister freeze in may and her chinese counterpart leaker chung held a joint News Conference and really dominating this News Conference where questions not just about to resume a future but also about whats going to happen post breaks it and this is what the british Prime Minister to resign may have to say to all of that what we have been discussing here is the excellent relations that we have with our golden era of u. K. China relations but how we can be working together not just to improving those links between us which will be of benefit to the people in the u. K. And in china but also on delivering on working together on some of those global issues such as north korea and other issues like modern slavery which have an impact around the world. So the reason may their talking up post bricks it britain its a message that seems to have gone down well with her chinese hosts premier league chung though wasnt are so much about sino sino u. K. Relations one question i wanted to know about us signer relations given what President Trumpet said during his state of the Union Address earlier when he talked about the threat the china poses to the United States this is what the chinese premier had to say to that on this when they get osha we always have our eyes on the common interests between china and the u. S. Looking at the relationship its true that there are certain differences but if you look at the Bigger Picture theyre sure that our common interests far outweigh our differences and disagreements. There are plenty of areas where china and britain agree but theyre also areas of contention and that could possibly come on thursday when to resume a hold talks with president xi jinping she did earlier in the day indorse his one belt one road project this is the chinese president s initiative so that will go down well what will go down less well i think richelle is the fact that she wants to raise the issue of human rights in hong kong the former british colony that was handed back to china more than twenty years ago shes been urged to address growing calls in the former british colony about threats to the judicial system democratic reform and also freedom of speech and that could possibly be an area where there could be real tension on thursday because the chinese president does not like to be lectured or spoken to about what he considers to be domestic chinese issues ok adrian brown arrest and aging adrian thank you.

Well first of all we are hoping it will go over north many states to recognize the problem and to confront the government about the situation in.
