Security council that any israeli annexation is a crime. The president of course of all indicted for war crimes he stands accused of nearly 100 murders. And the show must go on but when it the british theatre industry struggles to find a way forward amid the coded 19 and that. And as for the england cricket board save a series with pakistan will go ahead that is despite pakistan announcing that 10 of their players have tested positive for corona virus. A watershed moment that will cause the most serious violation of International Law thats how u. N. Secretary general. Has described israels plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank members of the Un Security Council and the arab league have been meeting to discuss israels move which could be put into motion as soon as next week most of them were united in their opposition with warnings that israels unilateral action could trigger a major escalation in the region. If implemented these moves could dramatically alter local then i mean truly instability across your point palestinian terror and maybe beyond this conflict has been marked by periods of extreme violence but never before has the risk of escalation been accompanied by a blue school horizon so this isnt an Economic Situation so pressure on in the region so whole time. In this crucial cross naples to take action that will enable the parties to step back from the brink opposition is also coming from europe more than a 1000 politicians have signed a letter urging their leaders to stop israel what on the ground in the occupied west bank and gaza have been renewed protests against the u. S. Backed israeli plans the Palestinian Foreign minister slammed the annexation plans and said that it would ruin any chance of peace in the region and decision whether bush will or thought of your actual immediate is the ultimate breach of the un charter and cannot go all unchallenged from the legal perspective an extension is not only unlawful it is a crime under their own statute really political perspective it will ruin the chances for israeli body stealing and Regional Peace from the security perspective it is Utter Nonsense as if there are places internationally and it would be nice nice borders that can be defended with a system of military control and subjugation that only fuels afflecks and violence but israels ambassador to the un refuted that claim. Hes got all the latest tensional 11 is over and it was the every outing to death in the not stand in the way of peace will spend in the way your bs is but is in your rejection even in the encouragement that they get from some in the International Community is that the palestinians that we are like thats me its actually them you know losing strategy lets go live out of the un in new york at our diplomatic editor james space so almost universal opposition to israels plans at Security Council james well that hold any sway with israel. Well certainly it was very very clear in the Security Council that it was 14 on the side of the u. N. Secretary out saying this is a violation of International Law and the one on the side of israel that of course was its close ally the u. S. The problem for those that oppose this move that israel is likely to do it we dont know its definitely going to do it is that all along Benjamin Netanyahu said this starts in july and hell do it in july well that is only one week from now and its really not clear what tools theyve got to stop this there are things the palestinians can do they can go to the International Court of justice they can of the International Criminal court they can try and persuade individual countries to put sanctions on israel but it seems that the things that really are not necessarily going to stop israel there are not that many tools that they have to actually stop this although i think nearly every one of them me israelis agrees that this would be a breach of International Law because since these territories were gained by israel or the 967. 00 or war theyve been seen as occupied territories and israel would change that legal status if it was to annex them and then extend its sovereignty over them that would be illegal under International Origin right james many thanks indeed i was there as James Spaders live at the u. N. In new york lets get the view now from west jerusalem herefore sentence that. A lot of the scrutiny here will be on exactly what is happening in the United States among senior u. S. Officials in washington d. C. They are meeting this week to discuss exactly how much and what will be greenlighted if its all in terms of the annexation the signals certainly have been pretty positive but there was talk from the u. S. Ambassador. Kelly craft during this meeting she said that it took courageous israeli leadership to make of the hard choices required so does that mean that they will require something of Benjamin Netanyahu in terms of acknowledging publicly that this is part of a trump plan which also as part of it contains a palestinian state something that might be harder for him to sell to his right wing supporters here in israel and also d talking about holding the palestinian leadership accountable is that another attempt to try and get the palestinians to hold talks and potentially stave off an accession talks based on the trump plan which they have utterly rejected because of the annexation it also includes in the huge loss of territory within the occupied west bank that would result i think its very late in the day to try and make those sorts of appeals over there are reports that they have been made through various channels to the palestinian leadership what is much more likely seems to be a coalescing of opinion around a limited potentially to start with at least a phased annexation out zeros abraham is in the Jordan Valley and has been speaking with the palestinian prime ministers advisor about israels plans. Pretext. That to me was a bit like their. Prime minister. You. Actually missed the deadline on mentioned if youre at the national resolutions. By the. United nations that mentioning that an israeli state should. Start that but it didnt mention a 100 because if you just want the United Nations about that and to give a shit about establishing a palestinian state also you did not even assume we didnt reject any opportunity we were able. To start negotiations at this any moment if this is according to the International Law and united dissenters allusions to that a good deed and signed an agreement between us and as a lease signed. In the security economy the ballistics and as a leech agreement its at least only what they have decided doubles look where the us secretary of state says that its up to israel to decide on attic sation for more on that lets join alan fischer live for us at the white house in washington d. C. What more did mike compare have to say alan. Well certainly we know that the trumpet ministration is laid out his plan for the middle east you remember that with the trump peace plan earlier this year drawn up by Gerry Kirshner who is the president s son in law but also a Senior Advisor someone who said he had read more than 14 books on the middle east was he was drawing up these plans what might pompeo i had a News Conference not far from here about 3 kilometers from where im standing at the state department he said that it was up to israel to make the decision knowing that there has been a lot of speculation knowing that there has been meetings here at the white house over the last few. Days about that exact topic but he insisted it was much more important for the palestinians to concentrate on that peace deal put forward by donald trump and his administration to improve the lot of their lives politically and also financially for their people i regret only the house to this refused to do just that. They simply this of leaders rejected this out of hand we simply asked the country to do as you did based on whats outlined in the vision for peace and they have chosen not to theyve chosen to threaten to blustered assert that theyre going to deny the ability to do Security Program thats not good for them honestly and people. The idea of an exemption was certainly considered in the peace plan by possibly announcing it in the next week it appears as if theory of israelis might be getting slightly ahead of what the Trump Administration wanted but we know that the trumpet ministration will support the israelis Benjamin Netanyahu has said that thats why there have been the meetings this week donald trump says he is the most pro israel president that the United States has ever had youll remember that he had this preelection promise to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem he did that he also recognized the an exception of the Golan Heights and just a few hours ago we spoke to Kellyanne Conway a senior counselor to donald trump and asked if he was going to make an announcement sometime soon all she said is that he will make an announcement a big announcement in the next few days we know that donald trump likes to type his ties to israel he believes it plays well in with an election on november the 3rd he would like to secure more of his base in believing that by helping israel in these sort of circumstances that appeals to evangelical christian voters someone who have been a key block in the trunk coalition aljazeera alan fischer reporting live there from the white house in washington many thanks indeed allan.

S. Appeals court has ordered the dismissal of a criminal case against Donald Trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. During the investigation into russian interference of the 2016 president ial election trump has repeatedly criticized for flynns prosecution the Justice Department asked judges to dismiss the case last month more now from a serious political game. This is such a highly unusual move by this d. C. Appeals court but this whole case has been highly unusual lets not forget Michael Flynn was the National Security adviser he pled guilty twice to lying to the f. B. I. That is a criminal offense ridgeley the prosecution said he was cooperating to see a probation then he stopped cooperating and they said he should get 6 months in prison thats when Michael Flynn said im going to withdraw my guilty plea well in a very unusual move the federal judge overseeing the case said i need somebody to argue against this because the justice Department Said go ahead and drop the case so he got a retired judge to argue against flynn and so this was ongoing and now this Appeals Court has issued a ruling saying that the case should be dismissed that judge doesnt have the authority to go against what the executive once again really unusual we dont see these kinds of moves in any other administration especially when it comes to someone as close to the president as Michael Flynn but not forget again he was fired for admitting that he lied to the f. B. I. So is it over no its still not over not necessarily the judge in this case could ask the Supreme Court to review this 3 court 3 judge Panel Decision it was a the decision was sent by a tramp appointee or any member of the 9 members of the district Appeals Court could come out and say we need overall review of all 9 justices so its continuing but this is the president says this is a great decision the International Monetary fund is full costing an even deeper global recession but it predicted back in april at the start of the pandemic the i. M. F. Chief economist said the global sweep of the crisis was unprecedented with 95 percent of the worlds countries now in recession due to coronavirus lockdowns she added that good news about vaccines could speed up the recovery of the labor market would be slow as rebound nations must keep social safety nets in place. This is indeed the worst recession since the Great Depression it was already the worst recession since the Great Depression in april when we had projected growth for 2020 to be at minus 3 percent but now at minus 4. 9 percent that is even even more strongly true and no country has been spared both emerging market developing economies advanced economies have all been very badly hit during this crisis the International Air transport Association Says that governments should avoid imposing a quarantine arriving passengers as they reopen their economies and resume travel the group represents 290. 00 airlines around the world i also says that restrictions on overseas visitors like in the u. K. For instance will put the tourism and travel industry in lockdown instead it says that governments can reduce the risk of infections with a series of measures like Temperature Checking testing and Contact Tracing the global Aviation Industry is expected to go through its worst year on record with eline is losing more than 84000000000. 25 jobs in aviation and related businesses are likely to be at risk alexander the journey ak is the director general of the International Air transport association he joins us now live via skype from geneva good to have you with us in the midst of this pandemic which is not over yet are you absolutely confident that its safe to fly with people in such proximity as they are aboard aircraft. You know what we say and what we have worked out within the interNational Security mission. Organization and with the complete the mission of the medical community especially of the w. H. O. Is that if we implement what we call a moment to layer health prole and cemetery check system we juice to a minimum the risk of contamination either on board off from one region or one country to another so its based on the see if we have controls Temperature Check at the before departure. Meant that joy where enough masks. Sometimes you get this infection of minimal Catering Service and board Temperature Check at the arrival and. The ration before departure all of that. We have to evaluate it minimize the risk of contamination on board of from one complete what about that and when the testing system will be ready at the testing for passengers would guarantee that it would be absolutely safe to fly but its paul already very safe to fly particularly it was on board the air its full to the flow of air its full. Passengers assumed that one behind the seats in the face of each other so there are lot of reason why the risk is minimal so if i want to travel long haul for business or or even on holiday in the next few months short haul. What will my journey look like from the moment i arrive at the airport or is this a process thats going to begin even several days before my journey begins. I know what youre well have to do is for you when youre about yeah well have to make a home to their original you know if there are any symptoms of the 19th or some recent history then it will have a Temperature Check before entering into the terminal then you enter into the time you know you will last wear a mask remember very then we go to the normal process of security Border Control then you board them yet but we you know must keep from us your flight and you does a mark and you have a Temperature Check again. When the system will be ready and we hope that in the coming weeks well have our. Testing system for passengers that is will that will be reliable fast scalable and comfortable then you will be you will have finished a flight without we hope too much disturbing case is this going to cost me more though or my going to have to pay for all this as as the consumer and how governments responding to your proposals iceland for instance you could arrive at iceland and have a test you wait 24 hours at a hotel you get your results and then youre free to go if youre negative in the u. K. And here in qatar if i arrive i have spent 2 weeks in quarantine up my own cost of my own expense. What what he said 2 things 1st of all if that all of the medical requirements imposed by government should be financed by governments it is mainly the International Health regulations that have been issued by the w. H. O. So what is meant that though a medical treatment or medical test is by no such should be financed by governments and then we are working also with Insurance Companies to see whether passengers could scribe an insurance policy of but you are the boss karen called odell or that of potentially at least thats caused all the treatment because of that so we are seeing with the insurance if its possible to have to subscribe to police it should be possible to cover the cost of the passengers d into limited d financial. Really good to talk to so many thanks indeed for being with us thank you very much the World Health Organization is urging governments across latin america to come together to slow a surging numbers of covert 19 infections across that region global cases are expected to surpass 10000000 in the coming week but the americas still a major area of concern unfortunately the pandemic for many countries in the americas has not peaked and they are not reaching a little level of transmission within which we can achieve a sustainable exit from from from from. Public cultural social measures we would really.

The u. S. State of new york is imposing a 14 day quarantine on new arrivals from states that are badly hit by the coronavirus Governor Andrew Cuomo says the move is necessary to prevent a fresh outbreak you know was the original epicenter of the epidemic in the United States we worked very hard to get the truck viral transmission rate down we dont want to see it go up because a lot of people come into this region and they could literally bring the infection with them the. Infection rate formula will be 10 per 10000187 day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population positive on a 7 day rolling average so any state that has an infection rate above that would require a 14 day quarantine as of today the states that are above that level are alabama arkansas arizona florida North CarolinaSouth Carolina washington utah texas. Russias reported corona virus infection total espoused 6 100000 restrictions of being that despite bolden 7000. 00 cases in the past 24 hours alone 8 and a half 1000 russians of diet after contracting the illness.

The thing to remember in the federal republic of germany is each state is empowered to look after its own affairs as it were with help from federal forces and so in these particular circumstances whats happened is in north rhinewestphalia which is the most populous state in germany those 2 particular districts have been locked down but the catchment area as it were takes in 2 thirds of a 1000000 people who are back in lockdown back in the sorts of things which which the the impingement on social movements and that sort of thing freedom of movement thats all back in play as it were the other thing to say here is that its not just in those 2 areas where incidence is high incidence is of coronavirus have been reported other parts of germany too here in berlin where im speaking right now while not that far away there are properties that are now in current team with several 100 people in quarantine because positive tests of happens here as well from the federal perspective because its a federal republic the ministers here are hoping very much that by empowering the states they are able to prevent that 2nd wave but its pretty clear also that they are afraid of the 2nd way they reopened this economy as quickly as they felt they could hoping that they wouldnt have to reimpose lockdowns well now theyre starting to have to do that pubs restaurants and cinemas in england have been told that they can reopen next month following months of lockdown but theres a workers awaiting to hear when they can welcome audiences again nearly 300000 jobs depend upon the industry a whole reports now from londons west end the citys theater district. Being an actor. You want to act. You know you want you want to be on stage or whatever youre doing here on camera and film t. V. You want to be doing that. On londons 1000000000. 00 a year westend pretty woman was set for a sold out run with ak to mock holden among the cost then just weeks after opening coronavirus brought the curtain down. In our profession. 90 percent of actors are out of work at any one time. What are they doing the rest of the time in normal circumstances and were not in normal stuff sort of circumstances now were in something that our generation has never experienced its estimated that without a government rescue up to 70 percent of performing Arts Companies countrywide will close for good but the government has not so far included theatre among the businesses its trying to protect some larger Theater Companies are already announced that layoffs are inevitable meanwhile Andrew Lloyd Webber the creator of phantom of the opera is trialing thermal Imaging Equipment to test audience temperatures and make it safer to return eventually they will likely survive many Smaller Companies may not and phyllis there is no remedy the fight back has been online like the sonnet a day program performed under the auspices of the tiny german street theater why does that promise so if you see you tuesday but its no match for ticket sales we all need financial help airlines are getting financial help we need financial help in the same way that most theaters that i think all think it is must have an audience to be able to pay their bills we need help because if we dont have all coming into our buildings who are able to buy those tickets these buildings weights of ife they will collapse a packed auditorium here is just 70 people social distancing will mean future audiences of less than half that size nowhere near enough to survive. And so to the writers creating new work but for fewer actors to keep costs down i think writers will have to find different ways of telling multicast stories it will still be the same story. And still have the same content but even under adversity writers will trust trying to find a way of producing the same story within only a couple of characters shakespeare produced plays like king lear and macbeth while in lockdown because of the bubonic plague now too they will be cauldrons of Creative Work bubbling away behind closed doors the question is what sort of theater world will exist to bring it all to life jonah hole aljazeera london and apart along is an opera singer and ambassador with the Incorporated Society of musician she joins us now live from warrick shot in the United Kingdom via skype good to have you with us and as we were hearing there thousands of performers actors musicians technicians and front of house staff affectively been laid off during this crisis how has this affected you personally well i mean its awful d i mean the entire industry disappeared overnight so contracts that. That would to sustain me so throughout the year they just disappear but. Its very important to remember as well like this that there is its a whole ecosystem as you mentioned theres you know theres a whole backstage creative. Orchestra production style all. The departments actually running the day today and theres been no indication of when they might actually reopen and have the people youre talking about particularly the back room people as well as the performers got any help at all financial help from the government. Well some of their full time staff have been able to be furloughed which is has been great as the photo scheme scales down Companies Just they wont be able to cope and unfortunate they were already saying that 6 happening. Because the mentioned bases are already closing their doors in plymouth recanted birmingham to train Southbank Center in london saying that they wont be able to be at 2021 as well as many musicals hamilton mary poppins is a Huge Industry and she contributes billions hundreds of billions of pounds to the u. K. Economy. The a federation of Creative Industries but she predicted a 75000000000 drop in revenue and theyre predicting also 400000 job losses so what are people doing while they wait at the moment what are they doing to make ends meet. Well its really difficult as i said the family scheme has been how crucial the time start for the self employment. Has also helped those of us a self employed because the majority of the form is pretty much most of them are all. In the in the kindest way its a little off the back stage stuff as well. So that that has sustained us for a certain amount of time although. Almost 50 percent i believe. Actually in time to work to this. Scheme. One of us when i was trying to get out and i was you know a people thinking about perhaps leaving the industry altogether. Yeah i mean unfortunately that is the case i know many colleagues of mine have already looked into retraining and if you failed. Many job applications are going out there are lots of people you know in the same position and so the market is actually just being flooded. Lets hope its not too long before the curtain rises again many thanks indeed pass along thank you.

A show of might designed to commemorate and stir our russian patriotism. The 75th anniversary of the soviet unions victory of a nazi germany pulled out all the stops with 14000 troops from 13 countries and military hardware old and new paraded in moscows red square and a rare appearance in public of the russian president since the lock down. It is impossible to imagine what would have happened to the world if not for the red army its soldiers did not look for war or of the country or glory or honors they sought to finish off the enemy win a victory and return and paid an irreparable price for the freedom of europe. To victory Day Celebrations had been postponed from may 9th because of the coronavirus pandemic despite more than 7000 infections still being registered every day and worries that large Public Events were hazard many still willing to take the risk turned up. On one hand you understand somehow that you should follow the restrictions but on the other its such a Great Holiday and its a shame to be hiding somewhere our grandfathers were dying despite everything and what we will be hiding because of the coronavirus.

Harnessing a victory from the past to distract from a troubled present maybe patriotic sentiment but the question is whether putin will be able to sustain that in an uncertain future sunny al jazeera after weeks of increasing tension on the Korean Peninsula including the destruction of the joint Liaison Office north korea has announced that it suspending plans for military action against the south the north sea state media says the decision was made during a meeting of the ruling partys central but a Tree Commission chaired by kim jong il leaders sister kim your jong whos in charge of relations with the south had warned of a possible attack. Thursday is the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war which was seen as the 1st major conflict in what was called the cold war between east and west tributes will be held in the many countries that were passed and on the Korean Peninsula itself aljazeera is rob a bride reports now from the south korean capital seoul. Events to remember those killed 70 years ago and the veterans who have died since have a particular poignancy this anniversary. The war began on the 25th of june 1950 with a surprise attack by troops across the border that separated north and south korea. Around noon people started flooding into town carrying kids on their backs telling us the north had invaded in artillery shells began falling down town. Some of these veterans were still at high school at the time but were quickly recruited into the army as the south reeled from the attack. They showed us how to shoot a rifle a few times and then send us supper hill to go into battle we spend the next 3 months in the trenches.

Peace is a right that we korean citizens deserve to relish making a peaceful Korean Peninsula with no chance of yet another war is a duty by the people upon the state estimates vary but as many as 3000000 people are thought to have died in the korean war around half of them civilians thats a disproportionately heavy toll that means the wars legacy is still felt just as keenly 7 decades on in both careers north and south surviving veterans in the south complained of insufficient pensions and many feel abandoned by the country they helped save. It was our sweat and sacrifice that led to victory and to the Remarkable Development of our country. Is more time has passed its become a forgotten war the appreciation for those who fought and more injured has faded a lot and with each year there are fewer to remember 1st hand what happened as their generation fades robin bride aljazeera soul.

That there was a real desire to get International Cricket up or running again of course of the 1st set of matches against the west indies to come before the pakistan series so there is quite a long lead in time i think the key here is about getting the healthy players those who tested negative for on a virus out of pakistan where i believe the virus really is taking hold at the moment and getting them to the u. K. Where infection rates are quite low at the moment weve still got over a month to go before that series is due to start and as long as all the players who then here continue to test negative are able to play and train in a fire secured bubble where the risks are quite low then that series should go ahead as planned were in the you know the english summer this is when cricket really was supposed to be up and running over here for many of the other countries around the world things havent been hit too hard because you know the preseason tends to run from sort of september october tie into kind of april may time so when this virus is kind of taken hold this would have been a slightly quater time for many of our about cricket playing nations but of course you know its still ongoing and so weve got a lot of cricket to come as a good supposed to be a global cricket told him in australia in october the world t 20 world cup and that looks very much to be in doubt well liverpool can move in silence of the English Premier League hunter with a victory against Crystal Palace later on a little they win that game and man city found to be chelsea on thursday and the poles 30 a white for titles of the only current own names we want to go with all we ask and we might have to make a special game for us.
