I think it might be a better idea. Its crazy idea, that may be we focus on issues impacting American People and what candidates are saying, rather than spending time exploring their lives 30 or 40 years ago. I think the reason that so many people are turned off to the political process has a lot to do with the fact we are not talking about the real issues impacting real people. In the went often they are decided economically. Robert ray looks at how that issue could play out in the south in 2016. Reporter economists and data crunchers at the equality of economic project wondered if where you live helps or hurts your chances of improving your lot in life. They mapped what they called economic mobility, county by county across the u. S.

It doesnt motor whether democrats or republicans are putting in place voting restrictions, the losers are the same in North Carolina and the south, and that is africanamerican voters.

President obama and Binyamin Netanyahu meet at the white house tomorrow. Next, a preview of the meeting in our week ahead segment. Segment. O its sunday night and time for a look ahead at the week. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu arrives at the white house for talks with president obama. He left israel a few hours ago. Its the first face to face meeting with president obama in Binyamin Netanyahu in more than a year. Tensions reached a low point between the white house and Binyamin Netanyahu, when the israeli Prime Minister addressed a short session of congress to protest the administrations position on the nuclear deal. At the time president obama refused to see the Prime Minister. What is expected on the agenda on monday is the latest round of violence. The Iranian Nuclear deal and funding for israel. Al jazeeras Mike Viqueira has more on the visit. Reporter after years of frayed relies, this moment last march marked a low point. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu defying president obama and taking his fight against the Iran Nuclear Deal to a joint meeting of congress. A deal supposed to prevent Nuclear Proliferation would spark a Nuclear Arms Race in the dangerous part of the planet. It will not be a farewell to arms, it will be a farewell to arms control. In some ways the tactic backfired, angering democrats that support israel, and a deal not supporting the congress. Binyamin netanyahu is now expected to patch things up with president obama. I think that at this point Binyamin Netanyahu wants to repair the relationship. Not only with the obama white house, but democrats and also seeks a robust aid package to compensate israel for the security risks israel will be taking in the years ahead, especially in the wake of the Iran Nuclear Deal. Binyamin netanyahu will ask for an increase in the 3 billion israel gets in military aid. Including state of the art f35 fighters, tilt rotor aircraft and a beefed up system. The two leaders antagionized each other for years. In 2011 Binyamin Netanyahu lectured president obama, rebuking the president after he said the 1967 borders should be the basis of a 2state solution. On the eve last spring, Binyamin Netanyahu abandoned support. A bedrock of policy. Both sides have an interest in calming it down. Creating a stable quieter basis. We had a soep opera between Binyamin Netanyahu. A continued break would hand a position. For Binyamin Netanyahu, support for israel. Repairing relations with democrats is a top priority. Violence centered in east jerusalem, leaving 70,000 palestinians and 10 israeli dead. Recriminations between israeli Prime Minister and Mahmoud Abbas. Theres little chance for a Peace Agreement in the remaining time in office. We know what the blueprint of a 2state solution will look like, the question is how many deaths will we see. The two leaders may not emerge as personal friends. Most expect an end to the era of public antipathy. More on the meeting, lets bring in a former Deputy Spokesman for Israelis Ministry of foreign arches, a former affairs, a numberer ambassador and executive director of tanned with us, a proisrael advocacy group, and he joins us, and rabbi, editor, a progressive magazine based in berkeley as a starting point for the discussion of the meeting allows me to read a quote that appears in the New York Times that i think surprises the nature of the relationship which is one of animosity. In the words of the author of this report, animosity is the worst of more than two decades. Binyamin netanyahu feels disrespect and misled by a president he feels does not have israel best interests at heart. President obama agrees that being portrayed as antiisrael, as a state at the united nations. First, to you, stir, who do you think the appraisal of the state of play between the two leaders . First of all, its a pleasure to be on the show. Its not the first time we may have a disagreement with the New York Times. We must look beyond the personal. There may be personal issues between the Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and the approximately president obama, but at the end of the day you have to look at the relationship in the way it should be, its a Strategic Alliance in which israel and the United States play as partners. And cope with challenges that we see. If you look at the region today, recently the attack on the russians, if it turns out to be a bombing and as reported by media outlets, and by information provided by the west, it may be confirmed that Islamic State operatives are the one that committed this. If you look at the information in syria and elsewhere, theres much to gain. Before getting to the strategic statistics, let me get the rabbis point of view. Yes, i agree with what has been said. Its not a personal issue, its an issue of policy. From the standpoint of liberal and progressive jew, the Binyamin Netanyahu administration is a disaster for israel. Bean want to see a strong israel and agree the agrajous undermining comes from the occupation of the west bank and gaza, its time for the government to take steps to end the occupation. Unfortunately, her commit to perpetuating it, and they act as they they think it can go for another 48 years. As you know, for some months of the offices did a shuttle diplomacy between israel and palestinian leaders trying to reach a restart of the talks towards a 2state pollution. Seems like its over. The white house doesnt expect prospects. Thats a pretty dyer assessment, isnt it. Why would one expect anything different when the Prime Minister was reelected, by insisting he was never allowed during his time in office. For a palestinian state to emerge. Obviously theres no incentive for the palestinians to engage in the negotiations which is a sham. Unless we have a government in israel that says we are willing to give to the Palestinian People a nags pal determination that we fought for ourselves. Let me get mr azani on the issue. Do you agree with him. That may get it off the dime. Lets look back. Where were we in the year 2000. A palestinian state was offered to the palestinian leader, and the Prime Minister was not with him. Where were we with ciz, who attested that Prime Minister olmert in 2008 offered Mahmoud Abbas today a palestinian state. I dont think its fair to lay the blame on the leadership. In addition to claiming for the statement. The Prime Minister adhered to the 2state solution. They are very close. It doesnt take much, 45 minutes for the two to meet. Where is Mahmoud Abbas, ill willing to meet with him. Isnt that a hard point. As long as israel contains the settlement. Mahmoud abbas says he cant talk. Is there no talk to negotiate between the parts. If you look into the numerical account. Forget about the proclamations, the number of settlements built has been the least in the course of the last decade. Less than under Prime Minister sharon, and look at it from the few point of the public, when israel withdrew, and clearly evacuated the gaza strip. What emerged. What happened in israel. Next time Something Like this happens. We are able to live more in piece. Any comment on that. First of all, the last time that israel were negotiating, we ever into negotiations with the commitment from israel at a certain time arrangement. Every few months when it came to releasing the last set of prisoners, it was an agreement that got them in in the first place. Israel refused. And as a result, the negotiations collapsed. Lets understand one thing here. This is not a negotiation between two equal parties, one is occupying the other one, and the other one, the palestinians have no power in the situation. So to bring them back into negotiations, what they are thinking is what is the point except to give a kind of cover for the continuation of the engines. I have to interrupt you here. We want to move to another point and get some discussion about president obama and americas role in this discussion. Lets go to a poll by the israel democracy institute. Israelis were satisfied in relation to an upsurge of violence. 53 supported the attackers on the spot. After they are arrested. 80 of israelis believed that the family homes should be demolished by the army. Given those poll results it seems to support mr zarny, the hardline stance in dealing with violence on israeli soil. If you look at the situation in the past few weeks. This is an unbearable reality. Israelis wake up. Where palestinians wield knives, cars, guns, at bus stops, in the middle of the row. Killing people. Nowhere. In light of such an atmosphere, i dont think its fair to judge israeli Public Opinion. This is a tough situation, and the only way for it to end is to put down the weapons and negotiating. Can you put yourself in the shoes of palestinians who feel repressed. Who has to walk two miles to get to the property. Who do not feel theres progress to be made and theres relatives in the west bank, gaza, suffering because of conflict there, and the rebuilding programme. Can you put yourself in their shoes. Every day. Every day i can put myself in their shoes. I ask you this, how cap be they programmed if you wont negotiate. By negotiating therell be no progress. But you are angry theres no progress and no negotiations. The only way to put it to the test is to negotiate and reach agreement. The majority is ready for a 2state solution. And what has been promised. If i wanted to remind the rabie, its not under u. N. Pressure. Thank you both for joining us, and what we failed to discuss, because we didnt have enough time is what president obama can do, if anything, to move the situation to a little more of a positive thing. Thank you both for joining us. The foreign spokesman for israelis foreign ministry. And rabbi. Thank you for being with us on al jazeera when we come back, for the second time in a week of deadly cyclones, land fall in warravaged yemen. Yemen. At least two people are dead after yemens cyclone in a week that equalled a category 3 hurricane. It is expected to move toward the mainland. The country is reeling from cyclone chapala from last week, bringing rains and winds. 50,000 were displaced by that cyclone. Officials are expecting flash flooding. Moges meteorologist is here with more on the rough weather. Its unprecedented to have two storms in less than 10 days. We have seen only two others make land fall. That is how rare storms in this area is. We had very, very warm water across the arabian sea, fuelling the storms. We have a great satellite image, and the storm is making landfall. I want to show you the big picture. The storm is moving to the west. We are getting the effects of the storm towards somali. We are seeing heavy rain. Well see the storm going over open water. I want to show you the track from the joint typhoon warning center. As we go through monday, the storm, expecting in intensity. Its equivalent to a category 2. It has come down in intensity. It moved over the island, which weakened it. We expect is to be a category 1 or a Tropical Storm by the time it makes landfall. Either way, we expect heavy rainfall. Here, across the caribbean and the atlantic we are watching the area for development, even though we are at the end of at hurricane season. The National Hurricane center says we have a 70 chance that it will turn into a trappical depression or storm. We dont think it will have an effect Climate Change is threatening the shellfish industry, especially oysters, a sensitive creature in the ocean. Scientists are trying to save them from extinction. More from jacob ward. Theres a lot of things that contribute to what is a good oyster. The ocean is changing. And terrys oysters, the babies, are changing with it. We are determining the seed has been stressed by the changes in the conditions in the oceans that are near shore. They are having more difficulty in growing the shell. The Company Needs to put out 5 million identifiers a year, as he watch them struggle. Hes calling in help. It is complex. As the ocean sucks up carbon from the tail pipes and smoke packs these scientists came to study whether oysters, a part of the food chain can survive an ocean thats a more acidic. The change is unprecedented relative to other changes. Its an open question whether organisms can adapt fast enough. Its not about commercial impressions. Whether you and i eat at a bar. Scientists are trying to figure out whether clams, abalone, identifiers have a future in the ocean at all. The environment that the is it experienced in this part of the range is we think of it as a proxy for a future environment. Andrews lab is collecting abalone that adapted to a naturally acidic environment. The idea to sort out how they have evolved to survive, and whether other animals can do the same. These are 4yearold abalone, growing to a tremendous size. They are both ecologically important species, relating a proxy for animals. To evolve. Animals have to reproduce enough. Are abalone prolific enough to produce enough. A female can generate hundreds of thousands of eggs. If they run that gauntlet, they are most likely to be the seeds of future generations. Terry hopes that this sort of science can future proof his company. If we can maintain that, that is the goal. So if we are having perhaps getting the seed in the first place, that is where it starts. This year was good. He worries about next year and the year after that. And whether his oysters change as fast as the ocean. Jacob ward. Next, help wanted in space. N. A. S. A. s looking for a few good men and women for the next generation of space travel. Pace travel.

Reporter one competition teams designed robots to extract resources from potentially dangerous places from water on mars to volcanic ash mining. Each team was judged on creativity and ingenuity. We have seen something way out of the box, and in the theme, but something we have not seen or expected whatsoever. That is cool to see.
