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.
