Ok patty thanks very much the reporting from capitol hill. Well the u. S. Vice president has told Israels Parliament that america will move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem by the end of next year my pence made the announcement during a speech to israels knesset and was briefly interrupted by protesting Israeli Palestinian politicians. I force it has more now from west jerusalem. On the day he would become the first u. S. Vice president to address Israels Parliament the knesset mike pence was greeted with almost president ial ceremony by israels Prime Minister it didnt take long to return the favor by a great r. And b. Out of the present state would be. Israels capital jerusalem. It was a description of jerusalem that pence would repeat three times during his set piece a vent. To go before he was interrupted by Israeli Palestinian members of the knesset decrying the u. S. Position and any prospect of u. S. Involvement in the Peace Process there in force departure cleared the way for pens to speak to two other audiences israelis and u. S. Evangelical christians for whom the jerusalem declaration was a Major Campaign pledge in the weeks ahead our administration will advance its plan to open the United States embassy in jerusalem and that United States embassy will open before the end of next year pences said that his faith largely determines his long standing backing for israel this speech fused that religiosity with as often the near total Political Support of the trumpet ministration for the government of the watching Benjamin Netanyahu including its position on iran i have a solemn promise to israel to all the middle east and to the world. The United States of america will never allow iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. He said the u. S. Would back a two state solution if both israelis and palestinians agreed and Israel Security could be guaranteed and put the onus on the palestinians to come to the table is the time and gave them jerusalem i mean what they ate and honest broker that is the deal of the century in which jerusalem plays a major role above all this speech through into sharp relief the different realities which the United States and israel on one side and the palestinian leadership on the other and are operating in the palestinians this was further damage after Donald Trumps december declaration further evidence the United States could not be an honest broker for israeli ministers they were calling it emotional inspiring even zionist netanyahu later added his voice calling it a magnificent speech in particular complimenting its focus on what he called the evil regime in iran it was a powerful explosion of the enduring bond between our two countries and of your personal commitment to israel the commitment of President Trump and your entire delegation on the first full day of his visit mike pence has earned the fulsome praise of his hosts we have a stronger rejection by the palestinian leadership of any u. S. Role in the resolution of this conflict that aljazeera western. The palestinians have boycotted pences a visit to the region hundreds simonsons more and that from bethlehem. There may be some expression of mood here as mike pence is hosted by the israelis less than five kilometers from the other side of the separation wall but right across the occupied west bank the anger is subdued this is the same district that all too frequently sees confrontation between protesters and Israeli Forces in a Rehabilitation Hospital a short distance away lies a teenager who was nothing to do with the protests but just in the wrong place at the wrong time just over a fortnight ago. I am now at the line with us and all i wanted to do was go to school to take an exam and i was shot says has an ms her who is paralyzed from the waist down he says he was about to get on a school bus and shooting broke out as Israeli Forces on a raid withdrew theyd met resistance some distance away from where he stood hes depressed and doesnt want to talk about mike pence and he says protesting against the visit wont have any effect. Right now the biggest activity in manger square is taking down the Christmas Decorations penn said wanted to make this a focal point of his visit before it was boycotted by the palestinians he wanted to spread a message calling for more protection and more recognition for christians right across the middle east most christian leaders say pents wouldnt be welcome here this lutheran pastor is one of several clergy investigating the church to which parents belongs he calls him a christian zionist these are a group that read the bible in a way that actually. You know instead of focusing on liberation they focus on occupation they are interested in out of my get done. In wards back at the hospital house and mr is with one of his relatives every day of the week to have a month to go with this is what the us wants to partition the region and terrorize our people whats happening with pence addressing the Israeli Knesset is nothing new. The border here has one window looking out on occupied land and an illegal israeli settlement just behind it out of sight is jerusalem for palestinians it now seems further away than ever before Andrew Simmons zira bethlehem in the occupied west bank well meanwhile the palestinian president is in brussels where the e. U. Has reassured him it supports his ambition to have easter islam as palestines capital most of us has been holding talks with the e. U. Foreign policy chief is frederica maurine and european Foreign Ministers about us all surge here opinion nations to recognize the state of palestine. Here. We pay all due respect to the positions of the European Union we truly consider the e. U. As a partner in free and and therefore we call its Member States to swiftly recognize the state of palestine. On and we confirm that there is no contradiction between recognition and the resumption of negotiations. Still. The concerns about how safe they will be a gathering momentum. In the. One hundred forty three mentally ill patients who died on reports government policy speak of their own. Joke which has been. In the syrian rebel allies are closing in on Kurdish Forces as they fight secure key areas along the border so it is operation to push out the syrian. Intensify and president recip type insists it will succeed the white house has been cautious about giving support and says it must exercise restraint stephanie has this. Its almost becoming routine shelling and heavy artillery fired by the turkish army into syria. The monday border new development with turkey opening a new front in the ground offensive Free Syrian Army fighters will now move towards africa from the us. Initially the f. S. A. Forces entered syria through turkey from its west and Northern Borders and after the airstrikes and heavy shelling helped pave the way in the first twenty four hours turkey says it is targeting y p g fighters a Kurdish Group it says is a terrorist organization which also happens to be americas strongest ally in fighting isis and in syria as ever complicated web of regional and international allegiances enter russia key to allowing turkey to operate in a free in something many already knew but the turkeys president admitted to on monday for the first time. We will handle a free theres no stepping back from a free and we discussed this with our russian friends we have an agreement with them turkeys top military officials and intelligence chief for in moscow in the run up to the offensive russia had military personnel in africa in which it has now pulled out the people of africa and weve spoken to feel a sense of abandonment a feeling of betrayal echoed in a News Conference by the Syrian Democratic forces further east of a free in the group backed by the u. S. To fight eisel with the bulk of its fighters from the y. P. G. And i think what some of the turkey would not have dared to show our cities or villages or commit crimes against our children without russia violating their ethical obligation towards us and giving the green light to turkey to fly their jet fighters over offer in skies therefore russia is required to provide an explanation of the circumstances around the turkish aggression against our people. An explanation may be hard to come by the politics of syrias war are being played out behind closed doors the war however is as active as. Its been really difficult to get information out of a free because the columns have been so bad but we have managed to speak to some sources who tell us that life inside the city of outfitting itself is pretty normal they say the white p. G. Is adamant that they are not going to give up the city or the region they do tell us however that from the border villages the people who live there many have moved further into because of turkeys relentless shelling and that is something that weve been hearing here intensively throughout the day. Theres been a steady stream of minute she hardware heading to the border turkey says it will not stop its offensive until it is pushed the wipe away from its borders further complicating syrias almost seven year long war Stephanie Decker aljazeera on the turkey syria border well lets take this on that we can speak to him like a prison to a former u. S. Intelligence officer an advisor to Kurdish Forces in iraq joins us now from washington d. C. Misprision to say that the turks a targeting the y. P. Who also happens to be americas strongest ally in tackling eisel so how do we square that were trying to make the argument thanks for having me on that were trying to make the argument that the why p. G. And offered were supported by the russians so the russians should support them they should keep turkey from shelling a dozen so well to our white could be friends that were working with an age and in iraq because to them theyre the same people even though the us is were going to wipe a Different Group of y. P. Gee and iraq and mom bitch and still the wife you cant allow it to be attacked and offer not expect there to be replicas sions in iraq and so what kind of repercussions you thinking of. Well as a former Intelligence Officer its very hard to ask someone to do something very difficult and dangerous in iraq and syria im speaking about the kurds were to be peshmerga iraq or white b. G. In syria when they have such recent examples of betrayal and abandonment so the repercussions are for our forces on the ground and again it goes back to the strategic mistake that you have to use a sunni force to take back sunni areas and to hold sunni areas to keep isis from coming back these are the problems you have when you use shia militias in iraq to take back sunni cities and Kurdish Forces to take back sunni cities in syria so that that strategic mistake the east speak of thats going back some time yet since the beginning of strategy in two thousand and fourteen instead of doing what we did in two thousand and seven using sunnis to defeat al qaeda in iraq during the surge and two thousand and fourteen we partnered with shia militias in a predominately shia force in iraq and with a predominant Kurdish Force in syria and it just doesnt work there are short term successes but there are long term consequences and now were starting to see it fall apart as we have a nato ally attacking another nato allies proxy force on the ground in syria and it doesnt make sense if turkey is a nato same time to use a nato ally that should be going to another country can attack the allies of a nato country United States where does that all end and what can the United States do about it well the thing is i think everybody is basically based or gauged what they do based on the United States deference to iran and iraq and its deference to russia and iran in syria i dont think to one was concerned about hitting why p. G. Forces hes done it in the past hes hit us back to rebel forces so have the russians and we havent done anything about it so i think he felt relatively safe to do it all right michael bridge and appreciate your expertise in this thanks very much indeed for that perspective like you. Now some shops have begun to reopen aleppos historic market this is believed to be one of the oldest markets in the world and is an you know asco World Heritage site it was a Major Business sense of before fighting began in the region and it remains largely derelicts more than a year off the Syrian Government forces recaptured the city and many businesses were destroyed and looted. We came back and opened the shop but when it comes to sales no one has come in and this is the problem the clients want security in order to come here you saw the market it is only open from three or four sides there is no electricity no water there are no services at all here.
