Cases are now in the americas. In the in and russias president overseas moscows delayed victory day parade on the eve of a vote that could extend his rule until 2036. Hello thank you for joining us a watershed moment that will cause a most serious violation of International Law thats the u. N. Secretary general antonio good head asias described israels plans to an expired its 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 in 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 well its not yet been made clear along what lines the annexation plan will take for there are currently about 250 israeli settlements dotted across the west bank in violation of International Law and the Jordan Valley which is the most fertile land in the west bank is home to about 60000 palestinians but most of it is controlled by israel with many palestinians and able to attend the lands of the. If implemented these moves could dramatically alter local then armies triggering 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 inclusive call horizon saunderson an Economic Situation so pressure on in the region so whole time. It is crucial frosty calls to take action that will enable the parties to step back from the brink. Or bust a Palestinian Foreign minister and israels ambassador presented their sides to the Security Council and decision whether partial or total your actual immediate is the ultimate breach of the un charter and cannot go all unchallenged from the legal perspective and excision is not only only lawful it is a crime under their own statute for all its political perspective it will ruin the chances for israeli by the skin and Regional Peace that hes gotten all the latest version of you ladies arent people so the every having to decimate the not standing in the way of peace with spending their way or be his equal is the rejection of them in their courage when the day gets bombs in the International Community it is time that the palestinians be alive that means actually there are no liens friday. That abraham is in a village stress and without exception in the Jordan Valley she spoke to the palestinian Prime Minister as adviser about their rejection of israels plans. Pretext and look im going to be like that to me does it feel like theyre poor and the palestinian Prime Minister 3 times Osama Bin Laden to exact. Close. To you. Actually mr bennett on on mentioned a few of the National Reserve you chains and by the. United nations that mentioning that an israeli state should. Start but he didnt mention hundreds of the solutions for the United Nations about that and that gives a shit about establishing a palestinian state also about that if you could get a good message we didnt reject any opportunity we were able and we are motivated to start negotiations at this i mean moment if this is according to the International Law and united dissenters illusions on to the agreed to and signed agreements between us on as a lease signed agreements was that. In the security economy of the ballistics and as a leech only on mine agreements its up to the old ones have decide the nose doubles with harry force as has more now from west jerusalem on whats due to happen next. 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 theyve 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 harry false reporting there lets talk to our senior political analyst im out a one hour when we were hearing there from harry force at an earlier in our coverage dont know exactly what and when this. Will look like but how do you think it will change the dynamics between israel and the palestinians. Well it depends how far they will go on when will they do it because the question is for me at this point in time is when rather than if the Israeli Government and i. Talk to the creditors. I could expect that the administration where you know give the palestinians 2 more months 3 more months to join in the term plan and start negotiations with israel on the basis of the plan which they rejected out of hand because they think the entire thing was proposed to be rejected because as to be no one now understands. Peacetime reads better than the original language paper because the israeli version is clear and these are divergent foresees major annexations of a 3rd of the west bank needing the palestinians at best at best an extended autonomy functional upon to meet with the people not for the land and that force is rejected by the palestinians who will see more. Of versions if you would of their rejections but they clearly underlined today and before that they were not resort to violence that this will remain to be more of a peaceful resistance than anything else and thats why i think its going to end up being something i think about between washington and tel aviv and within the question government itself and it seems to me that when would be more annexing than the Main Settlement blocks on the 9067. 00 border as well as all the areas adjacent to the jordan river and that would block any future palestinian think that they from having any International Border whatsoever which means basic. Killing the chances of any serious sovereign independent palestinian then the. One we heard to the un secretarygeneral one of the tatars say that if it does go ahead this would be the most a most serious violation of International Law the arab league speaking strongly against us saying it would unsettle the region a sows and european parliamentarians addressing the letter so you know on paper people are saying the right things but realistically looking at the International Community right now as well do you think anyone will act or do you think it really is a sort of bilateral israel u. S. Move as you were just outlining no no i agree with the spirit of your question because then that there weve heard words from more words and more words and although d the sort of the tenor was clear that this was. In violation of International Law what we all know that this has been clear israel has been violating International Law for the last 50 years it continues to so today the question is was this was this meant to be a therapy or. A strategy for the u. N. Security council well for me by the aggregate that this was a major theory or because this was supposed to be Foreign Ministers i didnt see too many Foreign Ministers that if you portman so short up for displaying and everyone spoke in generalities they basically it took my job they were mostly analysts looking about why with this might lead to blow up or not in the region and i think a lot of them actually exaggerated that and none of them really accepted the palestinian talk seriously about the options none of them actually singled out the United States were being the instigator with this illegal israeli action so in the end of the day there was very little actionable steps being singled out being recommended being insisted on by the members of the Security Council basically leaving the palestinians was just you know more declinations more more more more words and to be honest with you its been clear that the palestinians cannot live by words alone. A senior political analyst not a one big shot and joining us from the hamas one as always thank you. Cause of us president has pulled out of a meeting with serbian officials at the white house on saturday after he was indicted for war crimes prosecutor is at a court based in the hague to say that hashem touchy and 9 other former separatist fighters are responsible for nearly 100. 00 murders are the charges relate to inforce disappearance and torture a special court has been investigating crimes against ethnic serbs due and possibles war of independence in the 1990 s.

The i. M. F.

This has become a familiar yet still painful routine for. Its the 4th time shes had one of her calves taken from her the latest 18 month old blue shoe is to the to another adult and taken away was tied to a tree is clearly distressed the as is been chewed her. Was far away chained up crying out for her mother its really traumatic for us elephants and a while especially male coughs stay with the mother. Most entire life they would stay x. Ocean hurt with them other. Assists on the video some of which is too disturbing to show we shot secretly at an Elephant Training School in a province northeast of the thai capital bangkok. The techniques and punishments such as being beaten or prodded with metal hooks while being forced to walk while their legs are bound together and designed to make them compliant all in the end to entertain to. Many want a Close Encounter with one of thailands National Symbols or another animal 4 years ago one of the most popular wildlife attractions the tiger temple was raided and closed because of allegations the owners were trafficking big cats and animal parts soon after the park was given permission to reopen elsewhere these elephants that are among thousands captive in thailand will also be heading to parks and zoos but the coronavirus pandemic has meant the Tourism Industry here has ground to a halt was almost 200 Animal Welfare organizations wrote to the Thai Government asking them to use the opportunity to reset the industry theyve heard nothing back we really. Raise. We have to try and the long run and also ensure that the current generation of andersens. Aljazeera also approached the Tourism Authority of thailand for reaction to the video but it declined the concern is that when the borders reopen operators will be desperate to make up for lost revenue and the elephants will be trained and put to work harder than ever wayne hay al jazeera bangkok after weeks of increasing tension on the Korean Peninsula north korea has announced its suspending plans for military action against south the norths state media says the decision was made during a meeting of the ruling Partys Central Military Commission chaired by kim jong on the leader a sister kim jong il who is in charge of relations with the south had warned of a possible attack and a few days ago the north blew up the jointly as an office. Police have used tear gas so disperse crowds of protesters in the capital of them across it republic of congo hundreds of demonstrators blocked traffic outside the parliament thinking shasta there angry a new judicial reforms proposed by former president Joseph Kabila party which has a majority in the National Assembly members of parliament were shuttled to vote on the changes president kennedy supporters organized the demonstration in an effort to stop the vote fixture a Day Celebrations have been held in cities across russia moscow hosted the annual military parade and they are show commemorating the surrender of nazi germany in 1905 the parades are usually held in may but were delayed because of the coronavirus and came instead the day before voting starts in a crucial referendum so i go has more. 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. Theres a bit stale 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 on as 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 a 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. Like other countries during this pandemic russias economy is in crisis as is its Health System and proving to be the biggest challenge in Vladimir Putins 20 years of leading the country. His Approval Ratings have slumped to record lows despite efforts to restore the countrys global influence and russians are about to judge that in a vote on contentious constitutional reforms which could see putins rule extended until 2036 it doesnt have anything positive to show besides this Economic Growth is weak russias cultural influence is decreasing and its by national influences even more so all these promises that he made to the population they dont out to be more or less empty and the parade is an unmistakable thing. Harnessing a victory from the pasta distracts from the troubled present may be used patriotic sentiment but the question is whether putin will be able to sustain that in an uncertain future so new eagle aljazeera.
