peace program

ISRAELI - PALETINIAN
Today there is still fighting between this two states. The peace agreement failed in past, but today 10 new ideas will save this two powers to destruct them.

1. PALESTINIAN- gets the west bank, Sinai and suez canal, Gaza and jerusalem Since in past there were problems because they did not had the sea near. Israel would have all the rest of the land
- Trade between the the two states.
-Stop the terroristic attacks by Palestinian.
- IDF should be use only in special occasions.
- Palestinian and Israeli people may cross the borders of both state.
- If PALESTINE/ISRAEL go in war with another country, the other one needs to support the country PALESTINE/ISRAEL
-UN recognize Palestine as a state.
Fatah,Hamas close.

2. Israel gets gaza, and Palestine the West Bank Sinai, and Suez canal. Half Jerusalem of Palestine.
-Trade between the the two states.
-Stop the terroristic attacks by Palestinian.
- If PALESTINE/ISRAEL go in war with another country, the other one needs to support the country PALESTINE/ISRAEL
- Palestine closes Fatah, and Hamas organisations
- 1/3 of the oil got from Sinai goes to Israel.

3. All the land gets devide in two pieces. Israel right half with Jerusalem, Palestine left half Gaza, Sunai, Suez canal.
Trade between the the two states.
-Stop the terroristic attacks by Palestinian.
IDF should be use only in special occasions.

4. Palestine, will have Jerusalem the land to Gaza. So the can trade with the other nation by sea, and they, will see again 3 years after to see how it went.
- Trade between the the two states.
-Stop the terroristic attacks by Palestinian.
- IDF should be use only in special occasions.
- Palestinian and Israeli people may cross the borders of both state.
- If PALESTINE/ISRAEL go in war with another country, the other one needs to support the country PALESTINE/ISRAEL
-UN recognize Palestine as a state.
Fatah,Hamas close.

5. Palestine will get the Sinai, suez canal, and half Jerusalem but they need to give half wes bank to Israel.
People may cross the boards.
Palestine will make a law that who tries to do terroristic attacks will be killed if captured alive.
Trade beween two sides.
IDF needs to use weapons against palestine rebels, gum bullets against them. They need to try to not kill but arrest people.

Palestine in past had problems, since they did not had water, so by giving them land and water the should accept. In the land there is oil so their economy should growth. The onl problem would be that the Suez canal and the Sinai are of Egypt, UN should ask to them the land, give money to them so they will be more satisfied and the Palestinian should give to them at least 1/3 of Oil got. This are the peace program I have. One day there will be peace!

UN to start major Haiti food distribution program

After the earthquake in haiti, many nations(UN) supplied them food and medicine help, also italy. The UN it is starting a major food supply because there is people still dying. Children' s had been brought from some Americans other the borders but they were cot, they told to the police that they were bringing the children's to the "Dominican Republic", the mens that had them told to the authorities that they were sending them to an orphanage .

Doctors told to a bbc journalist that if they will not recive more supply from US probably many people will die, also children's!Hundreds of patients with spinal injuries, burns and other wounds have been evacuated to the US since the 12 January quake that killed up to 200,000 people.

he US military stopped the flights to Florida on Wednesday.

A White House spokesman told the BBC the move was due to "logistical issues", not because of a row over medical costs as had been reported earlier."There has been no policy decision made to suspend medical evacuation flights. This is an unprecedented relief effort with enormous logistical hurdles, and we are working through those in an effort to resume medical evacuation flights," the White House spokesman said.

Reflection: This article made me reflect on what is happening in Haiti, of the struggle for the medicine and food, that also if many nations are giving supplies, they are not yet efficent. And that people also when ther is a possibility try to rape children's. This article should make reflect all the leaders in the world, and they should do something, they should be ready to help. They should prevent this things. For example if now a super earthquake hit new York they will not be ready to help the population.

Somalia and Yemen 'swapping militants'

"A radical Somali Islamist group fighting to overthrow the government in Somalia says it is exchanging fighters with rebels in Yemen."(BBC)

An al-Shabab spokesman told the BBC the group was sending fighters to Yemen, renforcing their militia, and they were receving fighters.This because the two countries have a very good relation.
Yemen has come under scrutiny, after that Us tried to attack with an airliner. Al-Shabab controllos all the center and south of Somolia, so this gruop in Somalia has a great power.

(An interview to Sheik) "What is al-Qaeda?" the Sheikh asked. "It is Muslim people who are massacred in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and other Islamic countries like Yemen. A Muslim is the brother of other Muslims, he said, "so we and al-Qaeda share the Muslim faith and are fighting for freedom. That's all we share." Then he warned the Americans, that if they send troops they will all die, and mention the battle in 1993 when they were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.

Reflection: This article talks about the events that are happening in Somalia, the al-Shabab that controlls Somalia is helping Yemen to rebel, this gruop than has an interview and tells to BBC "A Muslim is the brother of other Muslims, he said, "so we and al-Qaeda share the Muslim faith and are fighting for freedom." Another gruop, another war! With this new power Us will need to send more and more troops in Africa. This aritcle for me is important because make me reflect on what is happening in Africa, now not only US will need to fight against them but also the European Nations. This article is importan because it an advise to people that Muslims are rebbeling.

Iran war games.

Iran has begun five days of large-scale war games to simulate attacks on its nuclear sites, officials said, warning it will retaliate if provoked. The head of Iran's air defence said the am of the exercises was to the wart aerial reconnaissance and air attacks. Another official warned Tehran would retaliate with a missile strike on Tel Aviv, if it was attacked by Israel.

Iran is under intense pressure over its nuclear programme, which critics say is intended to produce nuclear weapons. The US and Israel have not ruled out the prospect of a military attack to prevent Iran developing nuclear bombs. Tehran insists its programme is peaceful. Already from a lot of time, the iran nuclear problem was a problem but Tehran, says that is peacful. It's true?

"If the enemy attacks Iran, our missiles will strike Tel Aviv," he was quoted as saying by the official Irna news agency. The commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards' air force wing said Iran's air defence forces would "annihilate" Israeli warplanes if they attacked. "Their [Israeli] F-15 and F-16 fighters will be trapped by our air defence forces and will be annihilated," Amir Ali Hajizadeh told Iran's Fars news agency."Even if their planes escape and land at the bases from which they took off, their bases will be struck by our destructive surface-to-surface missiles."( BBC.Article.)

Reflection:

In this article Iran tells us what they would do if someone would try to attack their nuclear bases. Then they creade some games on attack the nuclear bases.It was really important, to know this news, because it is warning us of what is happening that there is tension still in the middle east, that we are studing now for SS. Thanks to this informations I know more things. This article is also helping me to understant what happens. I used BBC.

Major fire at Russia arms depot

A fire at a defence ministry navy arsenal on the outskirts of the city of Ulyanovsk caused blasts which shattered windows of nearby homes.

But officials now say that 43 people missing feared dead have been found safe in a bomb shelter near the site.

Some 3,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding area, the local governor was quoted as saying.

The depot is about 900km (550 miles) south-east of the capital, Moscow. The deposit couldn't damage us.

Two firefighters died at the Arsenal 31 depot after the blasts, Ulyanovsk Governor Sergei Morozov told the BBC.

Mr Morozov was earlier quoted in Russian media as saying that at least 10 people were taken to hospital.

The ministry of defence said that 43 missing people had been found safe and well in the bomb shelter.

Reflection I think that things like this shouldent happen. A arms depot explode? But it should be protect at least. I swear that the russians will protect better the deposit from the people or from incidents.This thing happened today, Friday 13.11.09, and the BBc is asking to the people that had seen this event to send informations and pictures of them. For this reason there are not a lot of informations. I think that it was a great article, because was thing happened exactly 19:14.
