obama is trying to prevent what he calls genicide. ♪ welcome to the program, the three-day humanitarian has expired and more strikes on the territory and medical sources says one palestinian child has been killed and eight people injured since israel air strike resumes. israeli army says at least 33 rockets have been fired from gaza, one soldier and one civilian have been injured. as for talks in egypt they left cairo and returned to jerusalem. gaza medical authorities say one child killed and 8 people injured in fresh air strikes and these are the pictures out of gaza as ambulances take the injured to hospital. strikes have been reported from the air, sea and land across multiple locations in the gaza strip. let's hear from mark who is the

spokesman for israel's prime minister. >> israel wanted to see the cease fire succeed. we redeployed all forces out of the gaza strip and ceased operations against the terrorist in gaza and took up purely defensive positions. >> reporter: but hamas this morning has opened fire on targets in israel, on communities across the frontier. they have indiscriminantly targeted men, women and children and in so doing hamas has not m only zone disregard for israeli life but shown it has no qualms about endangering and bringing tragedy upon the civilian population of gaza. >> reporter: we will go to west jerusalem and our correspondent there and seems anger has been building up throughout the day since what seems to have been the cease fire just fizzled

away. >> correct. i think everyone was expecting that this temporary truce would be extended for a few more days until the two sides in cairo are able to reach some sort of agreement for a more durable cease fire. so early this morning, as soon as the rocket fire resumed we were hearing statements from different ministers and the government saying that israel should not be in these negotiations in cairo any more because hamas has chosen to resume fighting. we have also been hearing an israeli official, an unnamed israeli official being quoted saying israel will not negotiate while it is under fire and that the talks in cairo will be frozen as long as hamas is firing rockets at israel. also we are hearing that people are very frustrated, the israeli public is especially those who live on the border in communities close to gaza. a lot of these areas were

evacuated. people have been out of their homes in these areas close to gaza nor a month and in the last couple of days they were told by the government to return to their homes only to find that the fighting has resumed again. so they say that the government in israel has not completed its obligations or responsibilities in gaza and that it should have been more firm while forces were inside the gaza strip in order to stop the rocket fire. >> the message from israeli authorities, military and the government has been very clear with its own public, what do you think reaction is going to be there on hearing how the situation is developing? >> well, obviously people are very worried. they did feel the three-day truce would be -- would pave the way for a more durable one. at the same time these talks taking place in cairo have been

extremely secretive talk and we understand from palestinian sources they are very difficult talks, that they were very difficult discussions throughout thursday, that the israeli delegation left very early on friday morning, before the 8:00 a.m. local time cease fire expired and this is leaving the palestinian delegation, which is still in cairo with the egyptians quite confused. we understand that in the last hour the palestinian delegation started meetings and discussing ways to try to bring israel back to cairo to continue these negotiations and to try to get hamas and the other palestinian factions to stop firing rockets because this is absolutely important in order for talks to continue as soon as we saw the rockets being fired from gaza these talks pretty much collapsed and the israeli said they cannot negotiate while the violence is on going. >> we will see what happened in

a moment and we will join you throughout the day and we will go to the other colleague in gaza and is in gaza city and throughout the morning, charles, the cease fire officially ended just over five hours ago. we heard sporadic air strike and black plumes of smoke and bring us up to speed where the attacks happened and what the injury and death toll is. >> reporter: just before we went to air we had reports of another air strike on a building in the neighborhood and we hear 11 people were injured in that air strike, that adds to the 14 other people that have been injured in other strikes around the gaza strip. as you reported there have been one child killed in an attack on a mosque in an area called shaka-wan and another attack and reports of injuries there we are hearing as you reported of at

least 33 rockets fired from israel. at least -- sorry from gaza, at least two casualties in israel, reports there. and we had this statement from islamic jihad as well, holding israelis responsible for breaking the cease fire, for not meeting the terms that they want and as we speak now friday prayers have started, the mosque behind me, you can hear the sermon there and a great rallying cry if you like by the, in the sermon for the resistance movements and for people to stand with the resistance movements. it's quiet in the neighborhood but there are reports of air strikes and shelling in various locations across the strip. >> we spoke a few moments ago and people confused and angry about what is going on. what is the sort of reaction you have been receiving while you have been the street there, are people confused and angry about

the negotiations for some sort of truce or cease fire extension failing? >> reporter: it has been very quiet. as soon as the cease fire ended, the streets were virtually deserted and didn't see many people around at all. as we have been reporting there is a massive desire for a cease fire and month of fighting and nearly 2000 killed and 10,000 people injured. so, yes, the people here are desperate for some sort of truce to end this violence. >> charles we will leave it there and following events in gaza throughout the day and with correspondence on the ground across the gaza strip and israel and west jerusalem, thank you. now, since israel's military assault on gaza began 64 soldiers and three civilians including a ty national have been killed. gaza health ministry say 1893 palestinians have been killed and three quarters of them are

civilians according to u.n., more than 9805 palestinians have been wounded and more than 200,000 are living in the u.n. shelters. as we go on to other news now from across the world and the u.s. president barack obama authorized air strike against fighters in iraq and said the united states had to act to prevent a genicide. the u.s. has also dropped aid to thousands of iraqis trapped in the mountains near sinja. >> resent days women, men and children from the area of sinjar have fled for their lives and thousands and tens of thousands are hiding high up on the mountain with little but the clothes on their backs. they are without food. they are without water. people are starving. and children are dying of thirst. meanwhile isis forces below

called for the systematic destruction of the entire israeli people which would constitute genicide. so these innocent families are forced with a horrible choice, descend the mountain or slowly die of thirst and hunger, i said before the united states should not intervene every time there is a crisis in the world and i must be clear why we should act and act now. when we face a situation like we do on that mountain with innocent people facing the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have a mandate to help, in this case a request from the iraqi government and when we have the unique capabilities to help overt a massacre then i believe the united states of america cannot turn a blind eye. we can act. carefully and responsibly to prevent a potential act of genicide, that is what we are doing on that mountain. i there for authorize air strikes if necessary to help forces in iraq as they fight to

break the siege from mount sinjar and they are having drops of food and water to help the desperate men, women and children survive. >> more in northern iraq. >> the kurdish cape toll are bracing for air strikes and continuation of this humanitarian crisis. overnight there were air strikes, about 40 miles south of here, those believed to be iraqi on islamic state positions after islamic state fighters moved into a whole new region. that territory between mozel and kurdish territory and the united states said it will protect the counsel people and diplomatic mission as well as stop the on slouth of islamic state fighters but that is a multi pronged process and a lot of it rests religion what happens in baghdad as well as what happens here in

northern iraq, a constitutional deadline for later friday for a new prime minister to be named appears to be coming and going with parliamentary groups still deadlocked on who should replace prime minister maliki or whether he should stay in power. without that new government in place, the united states has been reluctant to commit more military aid here as well as to put their own people in harm. but they are contemplating according to sources another additional force of perhaps up to 2000 people once they have an agreement with the iraqi government. for now security in the capitol here is extremely tight. iraqis with crowding the airline offices trying to arrange flights out of here and pretty much all the roads are blocked outside of the region and it's becoming increasingly cutoff. >> and word coming out of neighboring iran and istani, in

the country also an shii nation by iraq saying politicians clinging to posts are making a grave mistake. of course iran also tried to help in that area to try and stabilize the situation. they don't like the islamic group either. so we will bring you more on that as we get it. moving on, in the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is meeting for a dispute of the two presidential candidates and he is saying to end the disagreement over the vote in june and form a new government next month and are audited with the help of u.n. and kerry is expected to meet the current afghan president karzai later on friday. moving to europe now and ukraine reports of renewed fighting as government forces try to drive out separatist rebels and we have this report from slovansk.

>> reporter: parts of the city came under fire yet again and people in donsk were left picking through the pieces and this was once part of the hospital and now reduced to rubble. >> translator: there were word the street at the beginning, then he died and brought in by his relatives and just walking past here. his left lung was injured and his heart just stopped working and a very painful death after 10-15 minutes. >> reporter: home of the separatist movement has been in the sights of the ukrainian military for weeks and half of the population are thought to have already fled to try to escape a possible unslauth and a russian is accused of having close ties with moscow. >> translator: i think the

donsk people republic should be ruled by blood and a person of this kind is among us. please welcome alexander. >> reporter: in slovonsk would be unthinkable a few weeks ago. the city was controlled by separatists but is now back in the hands of the government but not without heavy losses on both sides. the authorities here are trying to rebuild trust with the community and it's to try to heal the people in slovonsk themselves and being watched closely by everyone here. emma in slovonsk. >> reporter: they have food bands on several countries and in response they have sights on moscow. >> i don't want to minimize this issue obviously because we do do hundreds of millions of dollars

worth of agricultural business every year with russia. let's be very clear about this, russia has been a bully. russia is a big country trying to bully a small country. right at this moment russian forces are on the border with ukrai ukraine. if there is any movement by russian forces across the border it may be a humanitarian but it will be an invasion. >> reporter: fruit, meat and dairy and restrictions could have losses for farmers in the countries. last year the export of $1.3 agricultural goods to russia and eu close to $16 billion and exports in russia are $2 billion each year. to fill the gap russia wants to go to brazil and new zeeland and

help like moscow and roarry looked at the impact the band will have. >> reporter: french cheese and oils and hams, russian get used to eating the same food as their western neighbors but that is about to stop. >> translator: they are introducing a total ban of beef, pork, fruit and vegetables, poultry, fish, trees, milk and dairy products from eu, the united states of america, australia, canada and norway. >> reporter: this is the market in central moscow, the produce glistens invitingly. what will you have a problem finding after the import ban? >> translator: up from france and this is also from france and lobsters are from canada. >> reporter: so as she is explaining life is going to get

quite tough for her once the import bans kick in because pretty much 50% of what she is selling here will be restricted. the middle class is wailing on social media about soviet shells and a future devoid of them. it might not be them who suffer most. >> translator: it will primarily effect the poorest people who are buying the cheapest imported goods. if the government does not find alternatives then prices of meat and vegetables will surge. >> reporter: russia's intent is to hurt europe, the united states and their allies though and the eu's ambassador here acknowledges there will be pain. >> it is significant and that is why we are serious. it's about 10%. it's about 10% of entire eu exports for the russian market and that is why we are going to take the measures seriously. >> reporter: the embargo has

been introduced for a year and pretty much everyone hopes it won't last as long and i'm roarry in moscow. >> reporter: more ahead in the al jazeera news hour including thailand clamps down on surrogacy after police discough nine babies in a bangkok flat and hear from victims of religious based violence in the central african republic and e bow is taking a chunk out of the ban for biting an opponent. ♪ the world health organization declared the ebola out break an international emergency and in geneva talking about the disease has just concluded. >> the committee position was unanimo unanimous. and it acknowledges the serious and unusual nature of the

outbreak and the potential for further international spread. but also the need for strong international coordination of the response. in addition the emergency committee agreed on a number of temporary recommendations. i have accepted these recommendations. >> reporter: certain recommendations, now the who also issued guidelines to deal with the out break and is asking countries bordering those of ebola patients to have rapid response teams to investigate and manage cases. the organization is also asking for help to evacuate people who have been exposed and says there is no need for a general ban on international travel or trade because of the virus. and we are if nigeria, one of the countries that is effected and is live. and it's great to get the

support from geneva and in nigeria but also conflicting issues for many international, other nations when they say their international travel doesn't have to be ban and we know some airlines and countries have given warnings out when visiting west african nations including nigeria. >> well, yes. to start with the issue of how welcome this aid is. it's quite welcome because these are some of the poorest countries in africa, and conflict, liberia and sera-leone from wars and had its own political upheaval and nigeria is fighting an insurgency in the north as well as facing a strike by medical workers. so they need help and particularly other countries of guinea, seara-leon and

decorations of emergency that they did is denying a lot of revenue and funding the fight against ebola themselves so far. however, what they need even more than the funds are people who know the disease and because there has been some reluctance for medical workers to come out and people coming as far as europe and united states and australia to help the people they will come out to help their own. >> help is on its way with personnel and funding and there was $100 million for this particular outbreak. one wonders how, as you say, people are coping on the ground in terms of isolation and quarantine of people and areas because some are quite resistant to being pinned in if they are

suspected of having ebola or if the community is expected of having the virus. >> communities have been very cooperative so far according to what medical workers are telling us. but there is very little knowledge, very little is known about ebola and it's becoming a hindrance in fighting. apart from isolating the people who show symptoms leading to the disease there is little else that authorities can do. and one thing they are using now is to measure the temperature when they are departing from counties and also arriving in other countries in west africa. and that is not conclusive because people do not become symptomatic immediately. they get the infection. there are a few days when the virus hyper nates in the body and this is one of the ways that

the virus is being transmitted and spreading. >> thank you for following the situation for us from west africa for the moment, in the nigeria city of legos. and we will join stef with the weather and seems to be hurricane horror in the pacific at the moment, is this typical for this time of the year? >> what you normally get is a breeding ground for storms and usually come in clusters and you don't get one, you get a series of them and that is what we see to the west of the u.s. we saw genivive and these two and hot on the heels. they are working their way toward the west and the initial one which is called iselle is now making landfall in hawaii, following it is the storm julio which is the more intense one. tropical storm iselle has been downgrade so as it makes landfall we expect sustained winds to be 110 kilometers per

hour. the real problem from the system is going to be the amount of rain. some spots can expect up to 300 millimeters of wet weather and enough to give us flooding and potentially land slides as well. better news when it comes to julio and it's an intense storm and it's a powerful category three storm and looks like it will track its way to the north and that will mean the worst of the winds and heaviest of the rains shouldn't effect us in hawaii. however hawaii is not the only place we are looking at the storm at the moment. if we look at what is happening around japan you can see here we have a typhoon, very distinctive swirl and far larger system and it's effecting us and the tiny islands and tracking its way steadily toward the north. as it does so it's going to make a direct hit on the southern part of mainland japan and giving us heavy downpours here and also strong winds. by the time it makes landfall we

expect sustained winds to be around 120 kilometers per hour and still the equivalent of a category one hurricane but it's the amount of rain that causes problems because the ground here is already saturated. >> we will keep an eye on that and. the forecast is crucial forewarning people of storms but in the philippines metrologists are leaving the country and we will find out why. >> he has been working as a forecaster for the state run weather bureau for almost 30 years, the salary is low and the working hours are unpredictable. but he says this is not why he is here. >> i stay because i want to help our country, to serve our people and aside from that a few years from now i will be retired. >> reporter: some of his colleagues have been leaving,

five metrologist have left just this year, lured by overseas jobs mostly in the middle east. the president says the departure of these professionals shouldn't be a concern. over 34 forecasters have been recruited for the year but state weather bureau says the problem is not finding good people in the country, it's in keeping them. >> we need to raise the status of the metrologists in the philippines because actually i think we are moving on with what we have now, but still we need support, continued support because we have technology change. we must not be left behind from other countries. >> reporter: four castors abroad get paid five times more than they make here. those who have opted to stacey they hold on to the promise of better benefits and improvement of their outdated equipment. their jobs has been crucial following resent national

disasters. the typhoon left 400 people dead and unprepared for a disaster of such scale. government officials here say lessons have been learned since then but for residents here the fear of another disaster remains. some communities have found ways to cope. learning how to monitor weather changes and setting up their own systems so they are able to respond faster. the world risk index put the philippines as one of the most vulnerable to extreme natural disasters and the typhoon left 7,000 people dead last year. experts say it is expected to get worse. and so some weather forecasters stay on despite challenges and do the best they can they say with what little they have. i'm with al jazeera, manilla. >> still ahead on the news hour,

welcome back to the al jazeera news hour and this is robin and recap of the top stories, a

child killed and eight other people wounded this israeli and the gaza strip and attacks from the sea and air and three refugee camps have come under fire. israel says 33 rockets have been fired from gaza, one soldier and one civilian injured and talks have failed to reach a deal on ending cease fire and israeli delegation left cairo and returned to jerusalem. u.s. president barack obama authorized air strikes against islamic state and fighters in iraq and says the united states has to act to prevent a massacre and u.s. dropped aid to thousands of iraqis tropicaled in the mountains. for more on our top story and renewed violence and let's cross over to senior political analyst who joins me now from london and it seems hard to believe that neither side could find some sort of middle ground to move forward. do you think this is expected?

we were seeing potential for a cease fire that was not due to be extended. >> well, let's just say this is not the continuation of the war. this is the continuation of diplomacy through a different way of sending messages to each other and we will not see the full blast war that we have seen over the last month. i think that strategic imperative have wound up with where we are now and clearly the negotiations are as difficult as fighting the war. clearly both sides are entrenched in their own corner and clearly the demands, especially by the israelis about d de-militarizing and i don't think it will make a difference and the sort of war or affliction and meaning the hostility will continue. >> do you think this is a

personal struggle for hearts and minds to each of the sides, for the israelis to get the israeli public on board and for the palestinians to make sure that those that are in the gaza strip are fully behind them? >> look, there is certainly an argument to be made especially in israel because hamas has grown more popular over the month and according to commentators, the main competitor is in politics but it's in israel where now the cries and criticism is rising against netanyahu government for not winning the war and not being prepared for the war and so on and so forth and lots of politics and they need to get on board or prove to the public he managed to do something. now on a more strategic level, and i think that is what is important and i think what a lot of the commentators are missing is if this continues i think

gaza will continue to suffer but the one that will get the real blow is israel and i think time does not work this israel's favor in this case and it's the stronger party and the party that was supposed to teach the palestinians a lesson and get on with it in a few weeks for the tunnels but now with everyday the hostility continues and israel is under threat from rockets and the likes from gaza. i think the israeli economy will not just suffer for 5 or 10 million we are hearing recently and it's based on trust and that trust will go both this terms of investments and in terms of tourism and so on and so forth and all that will continue to suffer. i think there is a logic there for why hamas would want to insist on lifting the siege with all of what that means in terms of opening crossings and ports and so forth because now that they were able to withstand the war over the last four weeks it will be possible for them to continue not with the same

intensity but israel will be losing as time goes by. >> 5 1/2 hours from it ending and they are crucial hours and you will be analyzing what comes out of the two parts of the world as the day progresses. thanks for joining us from london, thank you. british investigator and american wife are in trial in china accused of illegally obtaining information on chinese citizens and they were arrested last year doing work for pharmaceutical glient -- giant glaxo-smith. they will be taken over by the government. the country woes worsened when a plan disappeared in march and another shot down in ukraine last month and shares in the company have been suspended on the stock market and we have more from kuala-lupa.

>> reporter: it's in poor health and operating in the past several years and in need of a capitol injection and putting the company in state hands is one way of saving it and analysts speculated the other option would be to allow it to go in bankruptcy. malaysia government clearly ruled that out, so now the state investor, the national, put fore ward a proposal to take over the rest of the shares it does not own and it owns close to 70% of the shares and it is planning to buy the further 30% that is publically traded on the stock exchange and has 12.5% over the last traded price and it's an exercise that will cost the nationals about $470 million. it plans to completely overhaul the airline and this is just the first step in restructuring the company. now, how and what the restructuring will entail, those

details have not been revealed yet but there are things that the state investor could look at perhaps trimming the bloated workforce and cutting out the roots and replacing the entire management team and taking the company off the stock exchange and delisting it means they can do it without having to answer to minority shareholders. but the bigger test for the airline is to regain the trust and confidence of consumers so soon after two disasters struck the airline. >> staying in thailand the government wants to introduce strict measures for surrogacy involving surrogate mothers and we report on the latest case. >> reporter: when police raided a bangkok flat they found nine babies and nannies and a surrogate mother four months pregnant. a rich japanese man says he is the father of all children through surrogates and the flat is called a baby factory and it

has proven to be true and it will be more complicated than that of baby gamy and he was born with down syndrome and says an australian couple paid her to bear their child, in the end she had twins and the couple took his healthy sister but rejected him because of the condition and the couple denies this. authorities are scrambling to catch up with this in intense media scrutiny. >> translator: when these children are born and there is a problem, the law requires the government department of social department work to take care of them. no matter what happens the children will be protected. >> reporter: these are websites that advertise for surrogate mothers and a boom in surrogate booths in thailand and there is no law that bans the practice out right the medical council requires them to be relatives and not profit from the births and he helped draft a new law on

surrogacy and will not prohibit the practice but discourage it. >> there are people in thailand who are in a position to need money and with advancement of technology thailand is talking about surrogacy. >> reporter: births are not controversial but cases like this say it's a complicated, painful business. the babies between 6 months and 1-year-old are being kept at this government orphanage for the time being and tie land prevents us from actually filming them and at this point no one can say how long they are going to be kept here or where they will end up and this is the start of the crack down on surrogacy and there may be more babies put in the same position. there are further worries babies are born for human trafficking

and medical treatment adding to the sense of urgency to tighten regulations. veronica with al jazeera bangkok. >> reporter: now, central african republic fighting separate rapted hundreds of children from their parents and there are efforts to reunite them with their families. >> reporter: despite everything they have gone through the children managed to put on a brave face. religious based violence have torn families apart and lives unravel in an instant. >> translator: men took my father to the forest and killed him and cut up my mother in front of me and killed her too. i escaped. >> reporter: some parts of country are too dangerous to reach and real numbers of children affected are not known. and this is one of a few people who have taken an orphan and people don't know where their parents are. >> translator: war brings suffering, i couldn't leave these children the street, that

is why i took them in. >> reporter: there is a shaky cease fire in the muslim silika and they are children living in the town and there is a buffer zone between christians and muslims. and soldiers tried to keep both sides apart but it's not easy. on the christian side 12-year-old angel tries to get through another rough day and doesn't know if his mother is dead or alive. >> translator: my older brother and i ran away when the fighting started and came here to sleep in the church with other christians. i wanted to find my mother. >> reporter: reuniting families is slow and sometimes difficult because of the insecurity. >> for 2014 we had 41 children under the on going we have three or four more. it's an on going process because

certain segment of society which is not in favor of that kind of attitude. so the important thing for the position is not to find a candidate but to find a person that would represent that segment which is not feeling positive. >> reporter: the former diplomate candidacy is an attempt of secular opposition to attract votes from the religiously conservative supporters and the presidency will be above politics the candidate says, he made no secret of his desire to be an executive president. and he says that would be dangerous. >> turkey is facing a big challenge and turkey would be more transparent, more realistic or more humanitarian and with
