And irans revolutionary guards warn Decisive Action will be taken if the rest over fuel price rises goes on. And im lee a hearty man doha with all the days sport of belgium make a little bit of history by winning the 1st match of the new look davis cup in madrid that and more later on in the program. The u. S. Says its abandoning its position on israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and will no longer consider them illegal sexual state. Says the construction of civilian settlement is not inconsistent with International Law. President has condemned the move has been welcomed by israels Prime Minister and says it writes a historical wrong says he will leave the status of the west bank to the israelis and palestinians to negotiate. Calling the establishing of civilian settlements inconsistent with International Law hasnt worked it hasnt invents the cause of peace the hard truth is there will never be a judicial resolution to the conflict in arguments about who is right and wrong as a matter of International Law will not bring peace this is a complex political problem that can only be solved by negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians lets get more from washington so how significant a shift in policy is this. Loren this is a very big deal if people thought that it was significant that the trumpet ministration under u. S. President donald trump had decided one to recognize jerusalem as the legitimate capital of israel which of course goes against the notion that its status needs to be negotiated between the palestinians and the israelis and if people were upset that the u. S. Decided to move its embassy from tel aviv in the western part of israel to jerusalem again in contravention of that citys legal status certainly this is a big game changer it basically is giving permission to the Israeli Government whether its Benjamin Netanyahu or some other leader perhaps benny gantz whos in the middle of trying to form a new government the authority to was have a legal control of those communities in the occupied west bank in contravention of International Law of the Geneva Convention of numerous u. N. Security Council Resolutions which saying that that territory should be intended for a future palestinian homeland and that the actual legal status of any residents should be worked out between the israelis and the palestinians through negotiations this is essential to changing the terms on the ground according to palestinians although one thing that might pompei o the u. S. Secretary of state kept saying during his remarks was that during the u. S. As long going ongoing legal review this was simply a recognition of the facts on the ground that there are Israeli Citizens living and raising their families in the occupied west bank and that their homes should not be considered illegal just because of a u. S. State department ruling from 1978 and how does this all fit in with any attempts at reviving a Peace Initiative by the u. S. Administration. You know lauren reporters kept raising that question because of course one of the 1st things that donald trump 20 came into office and 2017 was that his son in law jared cushion or ruby in charge of negotiating a peace negotiation between the palestinians and the israelis that would break the law and jam between the 2 peoples once and for all there have been numerous occasions of the white house suggesting that a peace deal was about to be revealed earlier in 2019 we saw cushion or go to a funding conference as it were in the middle east where he basically talked about the need to raise money for economic and social projects to help the Palestinian People but he did not at that time unveil exactly what would be the terms of the negotiation and what the issues would be that the israelis and the palestinians would actually tackle the question came up again during mondays announcement where pompei 0 took questions about this decision and even though there was the suggestion that doing this would further isolate the United States from other countries when it comes to the Israeli Palestinian issue instead he allowed that this might how somehow more space for the u. S. Led done to go see a shift to actually take place and ferb the palestinians and the israelis to actually work out some sort of solution we should point out that he was asked were pointedly by a reporter early in the question and answer session about whether this means that the 2 state solution solution is for all points dead and that were now looking at a one state solution mr pompei o did not answer that question now weve had this vision for the past in president saying that the move contradict with international and on the other side weve had the israelis welcoming this decisions of perhaps that reaction is is you know the polarization reaction can be expected what about the International Partners of the u. S. How will they see this is for the move which goes against what other people do on israeli settlements or believe in the israeli settlement. Well the early reaction i have seen is from jordan which of course has signed its own peace treaty with israel but it is condemning not just the existence of those settlements but it is also saying that the change in u. S. Policy is setting a very dangerous precedent and could lead to more instability in the region for the u. S. As part the embassy in jerusalem has put out a caution to u. S. Citizens and nationals in the country warning of potential disruption or violence because of this announcement whether inside israel proper in gaza or in the occupied west bank frozen in jordan thank you very much indeed yemens who the rebels say theyve seized 3 vessels in the red sea including a saudi ship saudi arabia had earlier accused them of hijacking a ship towing a south korean drilling rig hoofy official has told aljazeera they will release the draining rig once they can confirm it belongs to south korea the saudi government is calling the incident a terrorist operation they say rebels have released a statement explaining why they seized the vessel my madonna tom has more details from santa.

According to this press release released that they have captured the 3 vessels one belongs to saudi arabia while the they have been giving more details about the other 2 according to sources. The other 2 believed to be belong to south korea its an oil rig but the whole thesis during this press release havent giving the identical more details about the other 2 they have mentioned that they have tried to contact the crow on board of the vessels but they havent received any reply and thats why because they havent given them any permission to go to go inside the yemeni region waters so they have to target them to the neighbors to yemeni cause line we have captured the 3 vessels.

Weve seen over the last 6 months alone the power play the interchange between iran and saudi arabia and lets not forget thats exactly what this is about so no doubt there has been the proxy influence through the booties by iran on to saudi assets and really the target here is the saudi vessels the tug the sally battle that is saudi flagged and is likely to be saudi crude so thats the real aim or target of of the of the capture as it were so what our reaction will this is exactly what weve been advising our clients for the last 6 months it is that saudi assets in particular are a specific threat form iranian backed was a proxy efforts against their own saudi assets in the areas particularly in the sudden red sea.

Irans revolutionary guards have warned antigovernment protesters they will take quote Decisive Action if unrest over fuel prices doesnt end since friday people have been taking to the streets across iran to protest against the increase 150. 00 people have been arrested and their arms state News Agency Says 6 people have died in the violence reports from tehran. 3 girls hooligans and thugs thats how rainy and authorities are describing these demonstrators who have come out for a 3rd day in a row. There are no rallies or marches instead petrol stations have been set on fire banks and even police stations attacked. The scenes are not taking place in the capital tehran but in other major cities including shiraz as fond masha. And now a security crackdown has been ordered to make sure they dont happen again. The Intelligence Ministry the revolutionary guard and local police say they will be out in full force the violence started when the government announced a sudden 3 fold increase in fuel prices a decision which the president says was not made lightly the government says the revenues raised will be used to help the poor. We explored all avenues to try and help those in need we had 3 choices 1st to raise taxes across the country 2nd to increase the size of oil and 3rd to increase the price this fuel we need the revenue to help millions of people who are struggling it was not an easy choice to make the spike government reassurances that this fuel price increase one affect the price of other goods in the country many iranians are not helpful and almost not a member of a matter of course it will affect other prices the press of gasoline has always been important here are we supposed to make up the difference with a small subsidy from the government it was in the some peoples livelihoods depend on fuel and this will impact the lamps in the present fuel goes up it impacts the price of other things. The government defends its decision and maintains that those causing the disturbances are not part of what it considers to be the general public theres almost a government recognizes the peoples right to protest but a protester is different from a rioter i think todays demonstrations are 80 percent less than yesterday and i. By tomorrow it will all be gone in the capital Security Forces were highly visible in certain parts of the city on monday aiming to prevent any further unrest its not just the Security Forces that have been deployed across the country officials have also announced a complete internet blackout and as nearly 60000000000 iranians wait to receive their subsidies many are wondering if the disruptions will be worth its north as a bari al jazeera there on the talk more about this now with iranian analyst put can as a method for coming in just we heard there from from those debris that theres been this into blackout have must be pretty difficult to really get a sense of whats going on there what what are your contacts been telling you it says it happened from such the evening when the violence really escalated. Last i heard was a funk call from one of the poorer districts in soran and the person was telling me the reason they call him is because the internet is shut down and they wanted so made that witness at least 15 people who were shot at the rectory and taken to the hospital and they were saying the place is like a war zone and giving them is it your impression that this will continue than that people were determined enough to continue protesting the last day of never witnessed the frost and say we witnessed from the footage that was coming through until until saturday it seems to be really widespread even more widespread than 2 years ago and it seems that the people were a lot more serious and often you know in a lot of ways there were encouraged by the courage of the sisters in iraq and certainly showing that for no reason you said we had protests before what do you think is different now what why was the trigger the trigger for these ones and why would without a made such a difference when i was there was the. Hike in the petrol price which wasnt preannounced and i think petrol prices some of the affects everyone this isnt just something and an issue for say dissidents or intellectuals who are students or any one sector effects everybody and you could. Sand arguments about the its really necessary to put the price of them in the run the government is running Revenue Sources they need the revenue and the iranians are using a lot of petrol so there is a sound economic arguments to put the price up but the thing is the trust between the people and the government is gone they were supposed to have free will certain free buses and free electricity at the beginning of the revolution they dont feel that theyve benefited from any of the riches of the country because of the governments priorities in life and if they do get some basic bitch bitch actually few days ago the chance that they come with this big oil. Reserve fund which is described as the size of borrowing that people dont think theyre going to gain any of that is that its not going to go into the pockets because the governments priority is to spend on exports in the revolution so rather than standing on the people and in the meantime we had this statement from the revolution began to. Take Decisive Action if the protests dont stop how surprised are you by the by the kind of level of repression has been against these protests that has been stronger than in the past similar to other reactions can see what other Decisive Action they can so i come in they shoot in directly at people more also they want to do they want to far more d rounds of people but its hard for me to make a judgment at the moment or a prediction. How much longer the protests will go on now thats a difficult concept but inside iran is difficult but be interesting to see if the carries on till friday and whether the friday prayers will become the target for the protests as a number can have an.
