Said the policy change had nothing to do with benny gantz efforts to form a new Israeli Government so the timing of this was not tied to anything that had to do with domestic politics anywhere in israel or otherwise this was about we were done we finished we conducted our review and this was the appropriate time to move forward the current Israeli Government was thrilled to see that this is a historic day and another great achievement after President Trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of recognize all sovereignty over Golan Heights and now put an end to the lie that settlements are illegal condemnation from jordan and from hamas we warned against dangerous consequences of the us change of position a continuation of u.

S. And australia have been released after spending 3 years being held by the taliban the afghan president ashraf ghani amounts a swap last week hong kongs leader kerry lamb is urging the protestors who are still holed up inside a University Campus to leave peacefully and for the police to treat them humanely she says about 600. 00 have left so far after sunday nights violence that led to the stand of officers serve surrounded the campus and theyre arresting anyone who emerges but those are under 18 are being released to their parents we will use whatever means to continue to persuade to enter arrange for the remaining protesters to leave the campus as soon as possible so that this whole operation could be able to end in a peaceful manner and laid a basis for the subsequent work by the police to all stop violence in hong kong. All right lets go live now to rob mcbride our correspondent whos outside the university for the very latest and rob carry 600 having left perhaps a 100 remaining inside whats the situation with regard to those different more defiant protesters who are inside the university. Thats right were seeing a steady flow of people in and out of this main entrance here in fact one of the students just coming out behind me now as you mentioned there are a number of the students are treated differently as they come out from this siege basically any students who are 18 and over arrested they come out. And they then face the prospect of prosecution for various offenses including riot but as you mentioned there are a number of very young people under 18 and in fact its now been revealed that of the 600 people or so who have been coming out of this campus over the past couple of days or so around 200 of them are under 18 and that young gentleman was one of them because he wasnt handcuffed at all they are not released into Police Custody there details are taken but they are basically released into their care and due to the care of their parents or guardians so weve seen better number of students come out who are being released very Young Students others requiring medical attention some being taken away in ambulances but i have to see this is the mood here compared with the last couple of days of tension of animosity it is very somber almost a low key if you like as it does seem as though this episode is gradually drawing to a close and this carry lamb the chief executive has called asking for it to end peacefully marty and rob does this this whole incident started in several days is this represents then the may sustained the most prolonged confrontation between the prodemocracy protesters and deal 13. It does absolutely i mean this thing is just develops and one day of rioting seems to be worse than the previous days of rioting which in turn are worse than the rights that happened before that you wonder where it is going to end carry in her press Conference Today tuesday has once again said that the universities have basically been turned into arsenals in a way saying that this is a very Dangerous Development and you wonder where it is going to lead maybe with this episode winding down drawing to a close with presumably the last of the students going to be coming out maybe in the coming hours this will deescalate things we saw here we were in the cow lu district of hong kong the place is simply a mess yesterday monday evening thousands of people came out to try to put pressure on the police stretch their resources have them chasing all over the streets of cairo lou and weve had burnt out vehicles roads blocked some eateries and shops and businesses associated with Mainland China have been wrecked again and so it really has put a huge strain on things here its really escalated things and i suppose their hope is that with this episode winding down it seems that maybe things will become less fraught but. The nature of the president and this is certainly unprecedented you simply dont know from one day to the next marty thanks very much rob mcbride live in hong kong and committee in Chinas Parliament has weighed in on that Hong Kong Court decision that overturned a ban on protesters wearing face masks the National Peoples congress in beijing says the territorys courts have no power to rule on such matters Andrew Thomas has more from beijing. Theres an irony here and that is that in beijing saying that only it has the power to interpret hong kongs constitution not the courts they are proving what the protesters have been saying ever since they 1st came out on the streets back in may and that is that this whole idea of one country 2 systems is essential a sham the power rests solely with beijing and the beijing intervenes at will and at a whim if it chooses to and that is exactly what beijing is doing here in most democracies of course there is a separation between the judiciary the executive and the legislative the courts have some power to interpret laws and make sure they comply with one another well beijing is saying thats not the case here but the power to interpret to change the constitution rests with the executive in hong kong which has its license from here in beijing now so far beijing hasnt really intervene directly in hong kong of course its supportive kerry laminates put out statements all the way through but soldiers are not taking to the streets with their uniforms on to put down the protests this though is beijing asserting yet again where the real power lies in essentially hinting that if they want to become involved they can it is part of their the main they can choose to one from tree 2 systems well the one country trumps the 2 systems and thats what beijing is saying here a very clear signal yet again that beijing considers hong kong very much part of china and it can act and will act it needs to.

Has abandoned its longstanding position on the israeli settlements in the occupied west bank saying it will no longer consider them illegal palestines president has condemned the move but its been welcomed by israels Prime Minister who says it right historical wrong. The latest shift in israels favor under President Trump in december 27th seen he formally recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel he then ordered the us embassy to relocate from television to jerusalem and melts trouble real than eyes the recognize the uk if i go then heights as part of israel rather than syria all this is charm is also a promising as i call deal of the century to resolve the Israeli Palestinian conflict how will gesture on his executive director of the arab center of washington he says given recent history the settlements move isnt ready unexpected im not surprised at all with regards to the content than a statement by the secretary of state im so surprised though like everybody else probably by the time you have the statement itself was somewhat inconsistent i think it was definitely timed and it considered despite the fact that the secretary said it comes after a long period of 3 assessment of the policy the fact of the matter. It wasnt accidental that so many different administrations prior to this when looked at these really settlements in the west bank in gaza are in the golan and as illegal and a violation of International Law there is a universal consensus about this issue so what is inconsistent is not what the secretary is accusing which is the wrong position by the Obama Administration or blaming it on former secretary of state kelly what is inconsistent here is this administration that is leaving if you will that International Consensus and clearly itself an accessory to an international crime.

Now its really hard to overstate the importance of the onion to south asian cuisine it simply wouldnt be completely. And when they become unaffordable for many families like they have in bangladesh at the moment then you can expect that there will be some real political fallout tom the child to me explains from. One of the most states. In bangladesh cooking it is also the hottest topic right now in Bangladesh Media has also taken over the social media by way of parody what. 0. 36 per kilogram selling for 3 dollars part kilogram government started providing subsidized right for the marginalised poor by way of special delivery vehicles but the people here can say that the onions here are rotten. These onions are not of good quality some of them are rotten but what can we do the prince the too high and we have no choice as poor people. Some of the reason why price skyrocketed in recent months is because a bank of the governments failure to import onions in timely fashion indias ban on export of army into bangladesh and some unscrupulous trader holding onions to manipulate market price. You cant get onions because theres a lack of important india is banning exposure which is also why an in prices have gone up and in prices too hot for cooking most poor people and even the middle class stop using onion as a cooking ingredient. We have stopped buying because the Prime Minister has forced us to cook or dishes without it is not possible for us ordinary people to buy onions such a high price. As a symbolic gesture the Prime Minister herself has a larger quote not to use onion as an ingredient in our cook dishes although the prices have slightly going down because the government started air lifting on importing onions from middle east europe and even central asia but prices remain still high in the market for most people.
