of the kingdom's foundation. or did i know how to steer the saudi women are able to do anything they respected and have proven themselves and every field they not so weak has to be contained to one place. the right for women to drive maybe a welcome step but some human rights organizations say the kingdom has a long way to go and guaranteeing equal rights for not only women but for minorities like those who are subjected to hate speech and violent attacks paul church on al-jazeera. well mohammed is a member of the arab sense of a stop studies and he says king solomon sikri is a move to show the kingdom is catching up with the rest of the world i think there are three main factors of this. saudi women the right of the. strategic political and demographic it looks like it is. time

this government has sent thousands of police officers to catalonia to stop sunday's planned madrid says the vote is illegal but catalan officials say if the yes camp wins they'll declare independence within days ben hole reports. the. spanish police drew up a court and made angry charge of. the spanish government is drafting thousands of policemen enforcements into catalonia with orders to block the referendum. secession activists say the patient forces as well. they're trying to frighten us with machine guns but i'm not afraid i'm eighty years old and i will fight as long as i can many of the estimated ten thousand extra police ability fairies at barcelona port to avoid public hostility concern is growing within the ranks about how police are being thrust into the growing

prime minister yingluck shinawatra we've already seen her legal team enter the supreme court building behind us they stopped very briefly on their way and spoke to the very large media contingent here and said they don't know why the where what is now they haven't spoken to her since of course she left the country as you mentioned she was supposed to be here on august the twenty fifth to hear that verdict initially the lawyers said on that day that the reason she didn't show up was for medical reasons but it soon emerged that she had left the country a couple of days before that verdict was due to be read and no one really knows where she is a low she's believed to be possibly in dubai where her brother another former prime minister taksin shinawatra lives in exile so we're expecting this verdict reading to get under way any moment now it could take as long as a couple of hours to read and they could also be another delay decided by the judges to that has certainly been speculated about in the local media leading up to this reading if she's found guilty of negligence she could face

a ten year jail term and also a lifetime ban from politics and wane do we think that the supreme court will indeed make that adjustment or is there some possibility that it wasn't that it will be a big. yes and then maybe postpone the final verdict. there is certainly that possibility that has been speculated about in the days leading up to this verdict reading in the local media that there could possibly be another delay of course we're under a military government at the moment that military staged a coup in two thousand and fourteen the removed. government from office so i think there is a feeling that anything goes at the moment that anything could happen that it could be a delay all charges could be thrown out and therefore it could make a decision to leave the country look very bad and the opposite could happen she

could have the maximum sentence thrown at her and therefore it sends a message to the shinawatra that they are not wanted in thai politics anymore and that of course is the suspicion of the shinawatra family all of their supporters as well that this is all another move in a very long line of attempts by the establishment in the military here in the capital bangkok to get rid of them from politics forever and in fact that this is a political move by the military and the establishment so i guess we'll know in the next couple of hours exactly exactly which way the supreme court is going to go all right thank you for that wayne hay keeping his eye on developments in bangkok for us. the president says if a war breaks out between the united states and north korea it will be devastating for kim jong un the latest statement in the ongoing change of tough words between the two countries is our white house correspondent kimberly halkett. the trumpet

a hand gun and fired on security forces guarding the entrance as a result unfortunately three israelis were killed pronounced dead at the scene by emergency units a fourth person was taken to hospital in serious condition the attacker. was shot dead a thirty seven year old father of four from the nearby palestinian village of beit syria he was a familiar face in the settlement and worked there for many years developing longstanding relationships with settlers they were. helping i think with the garden and the. health of. our neighbors israeli president called it a cruel act of terror the prime minister blamed incitement by the palestinian authority and others in gaza hamas and islamic jihad hailed what they called an act of palestinian resistance while rival faction fatah said israel responsibility for the reactions of palestinians to its crimes the consequences of what happened here

also being felt in the village from where the palestinian attack came from the prime minister of israel has already said that his house will be demolished his brother has already been arrested and also his entire extended family will have their work permits rescinded outside the family home shocked mourners said i'll jamal wasn't political had been having marital difficulties but that didn't explain what had happened in a social media message to his wife apparently said she had no connection to what he was about to do. the pressure the palestinians suffer on the checkpoints on the humiliations that we seem. makes him and others do these things because of the pressure. it tackles coincided with the latest visit to the region by u.s. envoy jason green glad his talks with each side now likely to be made more complex by this latest outbreak of violence or explosive out in the occupied west bank. a major volcanic eruption is expected quite soon on the indian the xeon island of

bali i mean hundreds of tremors around the area of mount algal with magma bubbling in its crater tens of thousands of residents and tourists have been moved to temporary shelters well our correspondent step vasant is there for a season ben that's about twelve kilometers from the crater so what does it feel like sound like smell like even from where you are. well i first want to give you a good look on the mound is still looking very peaceful but inside there's a lot of stuff going on occasionally we can actually see some white films coming out of the volcano which means that this is the same which is coming from the pressure and the heat that's building up inside and not my eyes also pushed now to the surface and that of course has to go through this layer of crust on the top and

that will be the beginning of an eruption nobody knows exactly when this is going to happen but as you were saying full kind of quakes you have to say because if it's a tremor that's from a means that it's already about to erupt but now these folks on i'll just call it feel kind of great they are continuously being filed here a very large one was happening on one fell on tuesday it was like four point two on the richter scale which is really significant so a lot of people of course are very worried about what's going to happen in one nine hundred sixty three this ok you know basically just blow that happened here and kill more than a thousand people destroyed why the lot of villages and a lot of the area around us will get even as far as where i'm standing here has been in practice you can actually see the big rocks also lying around here you can also see there's a temple. deserted because people here of course believe that this mountain is a sacred mountain and they now feel that this mountain is angry because too many

tourists have been climbing up this mountain for the last couple of years so they see it also as a sort of a punishment from the mountain that it's about to erupt and so people have managed to get a safe distance away from this. well many people have indeed flats more actually than were ordered to leave their houses have now left the area there were there was an order of police around sixty. two thousand people but more than seventy five thousand people have been evacuated already and probably more are leaving as we speak but still there are a few people who actually told me refusing to leave their villages because they say we can't leave or cows in our capital behind we are worried about our belongings or maybe people come in to seal it so it's very difficult for the government to convince these people who also leave the area to also it is also very worried about

and the rupture here affecting the flight traffic because body of course is a very important airport here in indonesia with thousands of tourists arriving every day but it now looking at alternative routes where all these people are going to go or even going to leave the island from if your option happens. all right steps that live in bali just at the forces that that volcano that erupted any time soon. the un is now saying that the number of refugees escaping violence in me and my state has risen to four hundred and eighty thousand more than forty thousand of them have gone over to bangladesh in the past two days alone and that is putting a strain on resources there extra shelters a needed for around six thousand children who cross the border without their parents well the range of prices is now starting to hurt me and miles economy the

country's been seeking foreign money but the ranger crisis has a long term potential investors scott hardly ripples for a million miles largest city and commercial hub young go on. like this abandoned fun park in central europe gone much of the country is still waiting for the development and foreign investment many hoped would come. hopes were high when sanctions were lifted and the country was reconnected to the world after nearly five decades of military control the west has started to invest here but remains limited the main trading partners are still myanmar's neighbors. hoping to change that trade groups are working to encourage more businesses and investment from europe and the united states. but they have run into a problem political fallout from the refugee crisis in myanmar's rakhine state.

after a recent six country tour in europe to drum up investment a member of one group said the treatment of revenge it was brought up everywhere they went and that was before the recent violence in rakhine that sent hundreds of thousands fleeing into bangladesh the crisis is having a knock on effect with small business managers some clients at this tour company have canceled or postponed their trips not only for my sake off industry because we within over twenty one yes. we face a lot of you know prizes and challenge. laws and regulations of foreign investment are changing after years of being closed off. continued international condemnation and concern over the right hinge or crisis could have an impact on foreign help on big infrastructure projects like the much needed upgrades on yangon energy railways . china has been a long time main trading partner with myanmar going back to the days of military

rule myanmar's leaders are working to diversify and move away from heavy reliance on trade with china want to congress feels that if western nations start to slow investment because of the range of prices it could force me and mark to remain reliant on china. still in the. agreement with. even this is in the process. to go. have some impact then they will. so even in the best of conditions more time is needed to attract foreign investment myanmar hopes to land but right now with the world watching events in rakhine it might be pushed farther down the track it's got harder al-jazeera yangon. al-jazeera is demanding the release of its journalist mahmoud hussein who's now been imprisoned in egypt

ok. thank you very much donald trump has told the n.f.l. that the only way out of the controversy surrounding players kneeling in protest is to create a new rule banning them from doing so it follows four days of divisive comment from the u.s. president to which many players have responded by making their protest against racial injustice even more visible the dallas cowboys and owner jerry jones kneeled in unison before monday's game with the arizona cardinals but the crowd did not respond positively. as they take it or you can actively choose to be heard. from the sellout crowd in arizona. the players then rose to stand together while

the national anthem played as did the arizona cardinals on friday donald trump and called for players who neil to be fired more than two hundred n.f.l. players melt or set during sunday's games meanwhile the pittsburgh steelers player who appeared to defy his teammates by standing during the national anthem has said that was not his intention the steelers chose to remain in the locker room while it's played but alessandra on the way over an army veteran says he became separated from the squad while trying to get a glimpse of the flag from the tunnel. but because of that i've made coach tomlin look bad and that is my fault and that is my fault only have made my teammates look bad and that is my fault my fault only you know me the steelers also look bad and that is my fault and my fault only so unwillingly i have made a mistake. n.b.a. players and officials have also expressed their frustration with the president's comments they've become embroiled in
