One of the most powerful people in the white house is now out of a Job National Security adviser john bolton insists he resigned but u. S. President donald trump says he was fired because of disagreements of a Foreign Policy bolton was known as a hawk who wanted the u. S. To take a hardline stance against countries like iran venezuela and north korea trump says a new advisor his 4th in 2 and a half years will be appointed next week ellen fisher has more now from washington d. C. If youre going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate that there had been growing divisions between john bolton that his boss but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house donald trump tweeting i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration there. I asked for his resignation which was given to me this morning bolton tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to set but an insistence he quit rather than being fired at a news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend stephen secretary of state might pompey defended the president s decision the president s entitle to the staff that he wants that at any moment as a staff person who works directly for the president of states and he should have people the trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree thats to be sure but thats true for lots and lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was donald trump started National Security advisor the longest serving so far but with his stated positions of using military force in iran and north korea he was annoyed fit for a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u. S. Military footprint reason only told him was against talking to north korea against pulling u. S. Troops out of syria and against the president s latest idea of inviting afghanistans taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point we have seen from this and from every other firing but what he really wants are people that echo what he already wants to do and with boltons opposition gone there could be obvious changes for example that theres a better chance the president will meet with his a really encounter part the president made very clear its appeared to me with no preconditions before he became President Donald Trump considered john bolton for the role of secretary of state but ultimately decided against it because he felt he didnt look the part mainly because of his mr bush now after 18 months as the National Security advisor john bolton once again finds that his face doesnt fit alan fischer aljazeera at the white house or bret brin served as director of Global Engagement at the white house during president Obamas Administration he says the u. S. President could use boltons resignation to improve dialogue with iran. I would expect to see from the president an effort to open up a dialogue with iran using boltons departure if you will as an excuse to say really bolton was the hawk im ready to talk and lets remember trump desperately needs this deal things did not work out with afghanistan things havent worked out with north korea hes heading into elections and he needs to show something that hes done on the world stage sheer that there is no one left in the situation room who is going to speak truth to trump might pompei you know as a sycophant someone who is really a yes man and this is what we have lost over the course of the last year in. Defense secretary the former National Security adviser general mcmaster going out and now with the loss of john bolton im no fan of john bolton but it least he was more disciplined and he would i think control some of trumps worst tendencies. Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced his intention to omics the Jordan Valley and by the west bank if he wins next weeks general election he said the Trump Administration socalled middle east peace plan would provide an historic opportunity for extending israeli sovereignty over the west bank and other areas are a force that has more now from western. Benjamin netanyahu has a habit of promising dramatic announcements in the run up to elections and he did so again on tuesday when it came it was not a unilateral decision about an accession as some had predicted instead the message to right wing settler voters was a vote for netanyahu would in concert with the trumpet ministration mean extending israeli sovereignty to all illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and in the shorter term the annexation of the Jordan Valley yes. There is one place where its possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months of little diplomatic effort in this direction in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today im announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli sovereignty on the Jordan Valley and nor going to see. The Jordan Valley represents some 30 percent of the occupied west bank and some of its most fertile Agricultural Land israeli policy has long been that it needs to retain control there for National Security but the prospect of a unilateral israeli annexation as netanyahu is promising would explode any faint remaining hopes of a viable palestinian state alongside israel keeping palestinians inside theres a small towns and villages as prisoners without any freedom that is a war crime and has about as we are about to enter the 74th session or the General Assembly of the United Nations then to National Community must stand thought of now or to see a big noise and to stop the thing is that as a country above the laws of man at the United Nations there was further condemnation such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving negotiations Regional Peace and the very essence of a 2 state solution but there is a hugely important caveat to all this to enact his plan netanyahu 1st has to win the election then create a right Wing Coalition government that would in dorset and then push it through in the face of International Pressure and by then and intensifying battle against his own corruption charges israelis ive heard him talk annexation before without following through thats a point political opponents and political analysts were making even before netanyahu had finished talking this is electioneering at its best there is no connection between what the Prime Minister said today and whats going to happen after the election whether hes elected or not this is what i like to say is israeli elections are very much like las vegas and hotels in las vegas what happens during israeli elections stays in israeli elections. Later at another Campaign Event in southern Israel Netanyahu was briefly rushed from the stage sirens sounding the Israeli Military said rockets had been fired out of gaza a dramatic end to a day when whether he makes good on it or not he confirmed his position as one entirely at odds with the 2 state solution the concept that remains the International Consensus on how the Israeli Palestinian conflict should end.

In part one of this 2 part series aljazeera explores the world of performance enhancing drugs the. Sports doping the endless chain on aljazeera. Welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on aljazeera u. S. President donald trump has fired his 3rd National Security adviser john bolton says he resigned in a tweet trump said he had numerous policy disagreements with. Israels Prime Minister has announced plans to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank if he wins next weeks general election Binyamin Netanyahu says the u. S. Middle east plan could provide an opportunity to extend israeli sovereignty. At least 31. 00 programs have died in iraq during a stampede at one of shia is dams most sacred sites Officials Say around 100. 00 others were injured during a parade the city of karbala. Returning to our top story over the sudden departure of john bolton he was Donald Trumps 3rd National Security adviser and the longest serving so far mike hanna takes a look back on boltons time in office and we think the sanctions are biting john bolton was the 3rd National Security adviser pointed to by President Trump since taking office and hes the 3rd to resign after much speculation of imminent firing bolton brought to the white house decades of experience in Foreign Policy and a hawkish disposition that had never wavered. He served as ambassador to the United Nations under george w. Bush from 2005 to 2006 and use that position to continue to justify the u. S. Invasion of iraq that he had relentlessly advocated a few years before madam president he returned to the u. N. Alongside President Trump as National Security adviser during the General Assembly session last year and once again made his presence felt weve imposed very stringent sanctions on iran more are coming. And what we expect from iran is massive changes in their behavior around here certain National Security control of the u. S. Mission at the u. N. Effectively downgrading the role played by Ambassador Nikki Haley who resigned within months of his appointment what many diplomats say is that its very hard to get clear decisions out of the u. S. Mission to anyone at present and that is a probably because bolton and other members of the administration are fighting over what policy lines to take. The secretary. While the administration appeared united in its america 1st policy some differences began to emerge particularly with regard to north korea chairman kim asked for this meeting President Trump agreed with bolton adopted that take a toll leave it attitude to negotiations leading to north korean complaints that he was undermining the policy of dialogue at the catered by both President Trump and secretary of state mike pompei or the Iranian Regime has systematically pursued a policy of hostility toward the United States then the apparent moment of real division as hed done in years past a National Security adviser began to press for active regime change in iran. Characterizing the shuttle deployment of the u. S. B. To the region as in his words a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian Regime thats at odds with the white house policy in which the focus was morning exerting economic pressure through sanctions. After weeks of discussion at was confirm that additional troops would be sent to the region but numbering hundreds rather then the 10s of thousands at bunt and was believed to be pressing for President Trump denied that was friction within his cabinet i think its fake news ok now what i do that absolutely but we have dad play ads for that hopefully were not get out the players for that had if we did that which says the hell of a lot more troops and that the final straw perhaps a sardonic comment by a principal adviser to the iranian president to wrote in a tweet at real donald trump you want to the better deal with iran looks like you going to get a war instead thats what happens when you listen to the mistah rush good luck in 2020 john bolton his now on his way out his smith starfish intact is dream up regime change shattered mike hanna aljazeera Washington People have been killed in ongoing fighting and back enough the violence is causing a major food crisis affecting the only one and a half 1000000 people the World Food Program is now warning of what it calls an unprecedented humanitarian emergency and us catherine saw reports of.
