resilient football stock a car has played his final home game for orlando city in the m.l.s. before my favorite world player of the year who spent three years with orlando announced last week that he wouldn't be resigning with the club but he couldn't let the occasion with a goal as orlando lost one nil to the columbus crew the thirty five year old hasn't confirmed if you carry on playing house. that is only sport for now more lighter scientists have observed in the age old collision of two giant neutron stars it's a rare event in human history and confirms a theory about how metals like gold and platinum were formed as a story a cosmic collision two neutron stars one hundred thirty million light years away crashed together with or inspiring force the event so powerful it created ripples in the fabric of space time called gravitational waves what's amazing with this discovery is that fair reading all of these that was observed on august seventeenth

was actually predicted it. saw all that sensory i go einstein predicted that to our bidding objects we limited could have if they sent out a wave as they spied on line and asked the physicist predicted that as that two compact objects in space that in your dress that's called light that they said they made gamma rays and this simulation shows what it may have looked like it was also observable as visible light and gamma ray radiation this is what scientists actually observed a small dot of light emerging glowing blue and then fading to read before disappearing the event in the constellation hydra set in motion a frantic effort by scientists from california to chile and europe using satellites astronomical observatories and radio telescopes to find the exact location of the stellar smash up this simulation shows the stars in

a slowly decaying orbit around one another a death spiral that lasted eleven billion years before the final merger this shows the resulting jet of gamma ray radiation and matter that burst out in an instant with the amount of energy that our sun only emits over millions of years the burst contained heavy elements such as gold platinum in lead created in the unimaginably hot dense and radioactive furnace of the neutron stars collision and now through these observations what we found out was that those heavy elements things like platinum and gold were created in neutron star mergers and so the gold in your feelings or you know that you're wearing around your finger that most likely came from a winery in your tristar merger billions of years ago the amount of such metals the explosion scattered across the universe is estimated at sixteen thousand times the

mass of earth gravitational waves are produced by the most violent events in the universe fortunately for us by the time the waves reached earth their force was only perceptible to the most sophisticated of instruments rob reynolds al-jazeera. that's it for me jane barron jordan is here to take him back to. the sky what they should be no borders up here. only horizons. as an airline we don't believe in boundaries we believe in bringing people together the world's better that way. it is a right for all of us to go where we need to go to feel the things we want to feel . to see the people we want to see. that's why we'll continue to fly the skies

providing you with everything we can and treating everyone how they deserve to be treated we do this because we know the travel goes beyond borders and prejudice all the travel teaches travel teaches compassion in the travel is a necessity. to travel is a right. remember that this world is a ball of ours to explore. and it's a strange thing for us to be a part. cats are always going places together.

right. path. news has never been more available it's a constant barrage with every day but the message is simplistic. rational. and misinformation is rife dismissal and denial of well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint trying to mainstream media narratives at this time on al-jazeera. celebrations as iraqi forces drive away to retake cook we find out what this means .

hello i'm don jordan this is al jazeera also coming up spain's government gives a seventy two hour deadline to clarify its position on independence or face the prospect of. leaving no stone unturned somali rescuers look for survivors two days after the worst suicide attack killed about three hundred in the capital. and the beverage is ridiculous horrible. most definitely. the tanks and soldiers to help fight obesity in one of america's largest cities loses its face. we begin with major developments in iraq where government forces have taken control of the contested city of quetta cook from kurdish forces tension has been mounting in the oil rich region ever since the kurds held a referendum on succession last month that has more now from ever built. the

kurdish flag no longer flies in the center of kirkuk. the city now officially back in the hands of the iraqi government its forces but made a rapid advance launched in the middle of the night fifteen hours later the industrial area airports military base and critical all fields were under the control of iraqi forces. soon after they marched into the center of the city. iraqi officials were quick to declare victory. the joint military operation was launched at dawn and progress significantly as the troops approached the area to crete and the north oil company were confronted by some rebels who tried to hinder the progress of the advancing units turned five in silence the fourth thank god today we have achieved all our goals according to our plan. the u.s. military which a trained both sides in this dispute trying to downplay the escalation in

a statement blaming the firefight on the darkness calling it a misunderstanding. but kurdish fighters painted a different picture of what was happening on the ground. now the moment i don't know what is happening exactly because we have been in the fight since four in the morning in the areas of tasa we have suffered casualties including martyrs and now we have withdrawn into this position and some of the other forces have pulled out they didn't fire a single shots and that's ok but when the seventh brigade holding up a session here. thousands fled the city as the forces approached of mixed in among them kurdish fighters now as the u.s. urges dialogue and calm the question is what's next will iraqi forces and their militias pursue the kurdish people and fight is that answer will have an impact here and around the globe oil prices are climbing with the news the possibility.

of a civil war perhaps in iraq with kadish forces fighting both iraqi army and possibly iranian militias. did not play well with the with the well so traders and so the perception is that prices will rise. until that's what we meant risky is completely character i shall we say understated most world powers at will the kurdish regional government and not to go ahead with a non-binding referendum where the majority of people voted for secession from iraq now the people of this region and their government finding out there is a very real price to be paid in this search for independence the speed with which the iraqi army were able to achieve their aim is left the kurdish regional government shocked and wanting and already there are questions being asked as to whether certain members of one of the main two kurdish political parties may have colluded with the iraqi military in order to ensure such

a swift and easy victory in and around kirkuk for al jazeera. but meanwhile the united states has expressed concern that the unrest the u.n. secretary general is edging both sides to resolve their dispute through dialogue. he appeals to the federal government and the kurdistan regional government to take ordinated steps to prevent and avoid further clashes escalation or breakdown of law and order the secretary general calls on the parties to jointly manage the situation in resolve all outstanding issues through dialogue in a manner that is consistent with the constitution of iraq so why is the region so crucial for both the iraqi government and the kurdish leadership lies outside the kurdish autonomous region but it has a large kurdish population that is considered the center of the historical homeland well kurdish peshmerga rebels had held the city since twenty fourteen they captured it from i so after the iraqi army was pushed out of the region i don't care coke's

rich oil fields have been a key source of revenue for the kurds comprising more than half of their oil exports while tension has been mounting in the region ever since the kurds held a referendum on secession last month which is seen as uncaused to tional by baghdad well yet a banzai is on the middle east research institute he says kurdish leaders have difficult decisions to make after the loss of can't cook. i think that was a major political to military victory for prime minister and now baghdad is in a much stronger position the kurdish leadership is very fragmented because the actual is there most of the disunity that curtis have been a factor in this as the camp really managed in the last twenty four hours and i think the kurdish leadership at the moment of the moment of. soul searching and it will take a. few days to come out from these major xanga that they never accept it

and that actually happened because of according to reporters collusion between one faction major faction of the of the kurdish parties with the iraqi government again the arrival of kurdistan democratic party catalonia leader has failed to clarify whether his region plans to see some spain just hours before a deadline from the spanish government colors put him on to instead ask for more dialogue in a letter to the central government he has until thursday to respond all thanks the prospect of direct rule to get reports from barcelona. it was supposed to be a monday deadline for the catalan president's response to madrid's demand that he clarify his position on succession lacked any definitive answers in his letter to spain's prime minister might enter a catalyst one said that the suspension of the political mandate given by the poles

in october first demonstrates our firm will to find a solution and not confrontation not exactly the yes or no response required by the spanish government before it decides whether to push ahead with suspending catalonia as autonomous powers them and they're going to pretend that i know that on such an important issue we only asked for clarity to extend uncertainty will only favor those who wish to end peaceful coexistence and to continue with the poor project the government hopes that in the following hours up until the next deadline on thursday mr persia will give the clarity that all citizens demand and the rule of law requires we can understand his preservations and confusion unless he's doing that to meet the demands of the most radical groups the spanish government is maintaining it's tough stance on mr preacher man but it has given away just a fraction on the question of the deadline the ball in effect is back in the catalan government's caught with a constitutional crisis is far from over. the back and forth between madrid and

barcelona has prolonging the standoff between the two sides and the catalan government is adamant about its position organizing a referendum is not a crime so that when we are confronted with there is no separation of powers in this parish that there is no respect for the basic laws and the only thing we can address these politically to respond is demanding us to do. in madrid the head of the catalan police force just serve us capital was questioned at spain's national court despite pressure from the prosecution he's not being detained at all thora teams have withheld his passport he's accused of. failing to enforce a ban on the october first referendum a vote to madrid says that was illegal under the constitution. it has angered many in catalonia for whom beto is a hero to the region secessionist after his force took a much less aggressive position than the national police force they came under international criticism for their violent crackdown on voters. there is little

clarity about how this will end and which side will back down and many what ever the castle government decides to do it will pay the price for holding the referendum in the first place so you go out barcelona meanwhile hundreds of people protested in barcelona after a spanish judge jailed the leaders of two problem dependents groups jordi sanchez and george bush are being investigated for sedition and organizing demonstrations their groups. to protest by stopping work on tuesday. unfortunately the judge's decision is to take away our freedom it's an act that doesn't correspond to any principles of justice it's an act i mean that frightening us and punishing us for defending freedom and peacefully taking to the streets as we have done so many times that's why i want to sincerely ask that every response given in the coming days and the overall response will be to permanently protest

which will lead us to the proclamation of the republic we will give them the same attitude that has made us stronger united polite and self-confident they can't defeat us if we remain strong rescue crews in somalia are working to find survivors two days after the worst suicide attack in the country's history more than three hundred people were killed and hundreds more injured after a truck bomb explosion ripped through the heart of the capital. reports. it's a search to recover bodies and perhaps to find survivors rescue workers hope there's still life under these piles of rubble. twenty four hours after the explosion we found a young man who was alive the first thing i asked for was a phone so he could call his family he will continue to look for survivors for as long as it takes. more than three hundred people died in saturday's bombing attack in mogadishu scores are still missing. and his family were nearby when the car

exploded he hasn't seen his brother since. my brother and his wife very near the blast that he's still. out or if they survived we've gone to the sea and all the hospitals but still nothing. many families are left with only questions not knowing whether to grieve or hang on to hope. my son had a pharmacy. where the tragedy happened we still don't know where he is dead or a life he had she wipes and twelve children he was a sole breadwinner. for survivors international help has arrived military planes take these victims to turkey where they'll receive specialized treatment with limited resources and medical supplies local hospitals are struggling. in my career as a doctor i've never seen anything like this they were burned bodies all over the

place hundreds of fatalities were registered at medina hospital countless are injured. countries like kenya ethiopia and qatar are offering logistical help locals are also doing what they can retrieving bodies from the rubble providing food and water for emergency workers. but they are also angry hundred six of the streets to protest the attack they blame the armed groups fighting the government and. african union peacekeepers inside somalia. it was a massacre i've never seen anything like it in the last twenty seven years i saw a little boy's head lying on the ground it was shocking. no one has yet claimed responsibility but speaking to al jazeera and al shabaab spokesman refused to confirm or deny responsibility the president who visited the scene blames what he calls terrorists targeting innocent civilians. the shock has now turned to anger

pain and frustration as somalis deal with the deadly aftermath and the rising death toll. on the eiffel tower is dimming its lights and solidarity was after that attack the monument in the french capital usually stays lit late at night in recent times the mayor of paris has increasingly asked for the lights to be dimmed on a victim's of attacks around the world. what's also to come here not just here including a leading voice against corruption in motor is silenced. last star who began a movement against racism now has a new battle on his hands more in that state. hello we've got high pressure in charge in our weather across much of north america

europe in general and that is i think a development which means that people are more insecure the values on the right anymore. hinds christians trucker who leads the freedom party is expected to demand the foreign ministry as its price for giving kurds an absolute majority in parliament the international reaction to kurds is victory has been somewhat cautious and muted no doubt because the coalition talks are still going on. the german chancellor angela merkel praised him for running a very modern campaign but knows the immigration crisis could be even harder to handle with curt's as her new neighbor. today we have said and i say this time and time again we must solve the problems and we must look we have achieved what we have not the counting of postal votes has yet to be completed city official results

friday. a woman who says donald trump groped ten years ago has filed a subpoena against the u.s. president. to try to get in between here and still any chance and i think you're tripping right now for some a service as a former contestant on trump's t.v. show the apprentice she wants documents relating to her and other woman making similar allegations handed over to court trump as the knives of us accusation calling it totally fake news he told journalists her claims are disgraceful and made up. a lawsuit filed by an n.f.l. quarterback is escalating on off the field dispute in the world's most lucrative sporting league it's a debate between freedom of speech and patriotism in the u.s. the league is now meeting to see how or if it can be resolved in a zonda reports from new york he's only twenty nine years old and widely considered still in the prime of his playing career but he can't find a job. former n.f.l.

quarterback call in kaepernick believes there's a good reason for that and he's filed a formal complaint accusing the national football league and the owners of the thirty two professional football teams of colluding to keep him off the playing field but it definitely is rattling for the league if this case goes through if he's able to prevail in this and prove that there was collusion among the owners to keep the league there is a very serious ramification for the n.f.l. kaepernick has been unemployed since opting out of his contract with the san francisco forty nine er's earlier this year last year he launched what has become a movement when he took a need during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racism this season some other players continue to do the same in solidarity this weekend's games were no exception and act of freedom of expression for them but not in the eyes of president donald trump who once monday again commented about it you're disrespecting our flag and you're disrespecting our country and the n.f.l.

should a suspended some of these players the n.f.l. brings in about nine billion dollars a year making it the most lucrative sports league in the world. attendance and t.v. ratings were already in decline but there are signs that the controversy may be adding to the n.f.l. as wos average ratings for the first five weeks of the two thousand seven hundred season are just over fifteen million viewers that's a seven percent drop in the same period last season and in more worrying eighteen percent drop from the more than eighteen million viewers in two thousand and fifteen and that could all have a knock on effect for the amount t.v. companies and advertisers are willing to pay the n.f.l. the owners just don't like the distraction the more that it starts to threaten their business model than of course the league is going to be upset now n.f.l. bosses and team owners are set to huddle in this new york hotel for two days to try

to come up with a response to the growing controversy they wish would just go away gabriel is on dough new york suffering companies in the us are breathing a sigh of relief thought for a county in chicago became the latest area to overturn a tax on fizzy drinks john hendren reports. after two months chicago's soda tax has fizzled a citizen rebellion forced cook county home of chicago to repeal the two month old and he announced tax on drinks with added sweetener i think it's ridiculous people are going across the border and getting it anyway and it's robbing and everybody is upset about it some compared it to the boston tea party when a british tax prompted american colonists to dump into boston harbor hoping to spark the american revolution it's the latest wave of syntax launched in two thousand and ten by then new york mayor michael bloomberg if we are serious about

fighting obesity we have to be honest about what causes it and we have to have the courage to tackle it head on the sugary drink tax movement spread across liberal towns in the us from philadelphia to seattle i think a penny a penny an ounce isn't very much and if it gives back to the community and to the city i think it's a good idea but they are very very impactful and they're impactful on the people that they want them to be which are the younger kids if you're using it to raise money it's going to eventually lose its punch and its dollars but if you use it to have an impact you she's very impactful in the first five years some pay happily it's probably a good idea as obesity in america is rising so that's one of us a step. to take away from that some pay grudgingly i think via the logic is flawed personally if you just paid it it's a penny announce that looks like sixteen cents a day and i'm not. going to have but perhaps no one has paid more than bloomberg

who reportedly funded a ten million dollars campaign on radio and t.v. advertisements like this one. drink soda pop they are getting a lot more than they bargained for because just one soda a day can lead to an extra ten pounds of gear and that leads to some very serious health problems but the soda tax can make a difference we do see. the epidemic of childhood obesity and diabetes the money helping to support cook county hospitals intel programs and that's going to help keep our kids on line healthier. the movement toward drink taxes repealed in chicago defeated in santa fe new mexico has recently shown signs of going flat a victory for big soda which spent millions on ads like this this is one of the worst managed counties in all of the united states you can't budget period the better sex is ridiculous horrible unfair most definitely less think this is not

promoting healthier lifestyles it's angering people it really makes me angry it makes me angry because there's drinks out that have zero sugar zero calories that are still affected by this tax i think people should call their commissioner to have average tax we find a way to balance a budget don't find a way to tax me for something. the drink tax was billed as a band that in the battle against obesity but complex rules have made that hard to follow these sodas with sugar or corn syrup text orange juice not text but some brands add sugar then they're taxed milk not taxed chocolate milk taxed this starbucks coffee taxed this starbucks coffee prepared by a barista not taxed the complexity of it all has many consumers scratching their heads and in many cases taking another sip john hendren jazeera chicago.

this time on and. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's very challenging the body but the killer because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are the people we live to tell the real story so i'll just mend it used to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. the sun and age old part of spanish culture no one can stop thinking about the bullies in my life others are explored and a symbol of central government and we shouldn't carry on something that goes against the morals of got along. is that from the catalan nationalist perspective the believe the present banished culture. catalonia last bullfight this time on

al-jazeera wild. the nature of news as it breaks. with detailed coverage this is what you mean somebody's going to find by the nigerian hundreds like these i think it's forty in the past few months from around the world there are also hundreds of thousands of arabs that have arrived here in recent years bullying i saw and they feel very let down by the baghdad government. celebrations as iraqi forces drive away kurds fighters to retake can't cook the fight up. and.

down jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up spain's government gives catalonia a seventy two hour deadline to clarify its position on independence or face the prospect of. leaving no stone unturned somali rescue look for survivors two days after the worst suicide attack killed over three hundred. discovery of an age old cosmic collision that confirms the regions of gold and platinum. we begin with major developments in iraq where government forces have taken control of the contested city of quetta coq from kurdish forces tension has been mounting in the oil rich region ever since the kurds held a referendum on secession last month but has more now from arab in the kurdish flag no longer flies in the center of kirkuk. the city now officially back

in the hands of the iraqi government its forces but made a rapid advance launched in the middle of the night fifteen hours later the industrial area airports military base and critical all fields were under the control of iraqi forces. soon after they marched into the center of the city. iraqi officials were quick to declare victory. the joint military operation was launched at dawn and progress significantly as the troops approached the area to crete and the north oil company were confronted by some rebels who tried to hinder the progress of the advance we which are trained both sides in this dispute trying to downplay the escalation in a statement blaming the firefight on the darkness calling it a misunderstanding. but kurdish fighters painted a different picture of what was happening on the ground while a war who learned of them another moment i don't know what is happening exactly

because we have been in the fight since four in the morning in the areas of tasa we have suffered casualties including martyrs and now we have withdrawn into this position and some of the other forces have pulled out they didn't fire a single shots and that's all but when the seventh brigade holding up positions here. thousands fled the city as the forces approached mixed in among them kurdish fighters now as the u.s. urges dialogue and calm the question is what's next will iraqi forces and their militias pursue the kurdish people and fight is that answer will have an impact here and around the globe oil prices are climbing with the news the possibility. of a civil war perhaps in iraq with kadish forces fighting both iraqi army and possibly iranian militias. did not play well with the with the well so traders and so the perception is that prices will rise. until that's what we meant risky is completely

character i shall we say understate most world powers at will the kurdish regional government and not to go ahead with a non-binding referendum where the majority of people voted for secession from iraq now the people of this region and their government finding out there is a very real price to be paid in this search for independence the speed with which the iraqi army were able to achieve their aim is left the kurdish regional government shocked and wanting and already there are questions being asked as to whether certain members of one of the main two kurdish political parties may have colluded with the iraqi military in order to ensure such a swift and easy victory in and around kirkuk strafford al jazeera. well the united states has expressed concern that the unrest the u.n. secretary general is also urging both sides to resolve that dispute through dialogue. he appeals to the federal government and the kurdistan regional

government to take ordinated steps to prevent and avoid further clashes escalation or breakdown of law and order the secretary general calls on the parties to jointly manage the situation in resolve all outstanding issues through dialogue in a manner that is consistent with the constitution of iraq so why is the region so crucial for both iraqi government and the kurdish leadership well coke lies outside the kurdish autonomous region but it has a large kurdish population and is considered the center of their historical homeland kurdish peshmerga rebels had held the city since twenty fourteen they captured it from i still after the iraqi army was pushed out of the region and quetta cokes rich oil fields have been a key source of revenue for the kurds comprising more than half of their oil exports what tensions have been mounting in the region ever since the kurds held a referendum on secession last month which is seen as on constitutional by baghdad

well randy slim is from the middle east institute she says the international community isn't prepared to support an independent kurdish state. the whole region is not ready for to give up or to abandon the sprint's appeal of that he thought integrity the region we can see the reaction you know to iran even saudi edited they have thrown their support for a bit of that that is a locked unst not only in the region but also in the international communities to have unilateral change of borders and so nobody wants in other south sudan in their in their neighborhood in their midst so for now i think especially with the loss of the key fields or most of the oil fields i don't see for it to be and for the coup for the iraqi kurdistan is a pathway to have in economically viable independent goodish states.

catalonians leader has failed to clarify whether his region plans to seed from spain just hours before a deadline from the spanish government. instead asked for more dialogue in a letter to the central government he has until thursday to respond all the prospect of direct rule so you get reports from barcelona. it was supposed to be a monday deadline for the catalan president's response to madrid's demand that he clarify his position on succession lacked any definitive answers in his letter to spain's prime minister mariano rajoy you once said that the suspension of the political mandate given by the poles in october first demonstrates our will to find a solution and not confrontation not exactly the yes or no response required by the spanish government before it decides whether to push ahead with suspending catalonia autonomous powers. but in that i know that on such an important issue we

only asked for clarity to extend uncertainty we're only favor those who wish to end peaceful coexistence and to continue with the poor project the government hopes that in the following hours up until the next deadline on thursday mr persia will give the clarity that all citizens demand and the rule of law requires we can understand his presidency and confusion and that he's doing that to meet the demands of the most radical groups the spanish government is maintaining it's tough stance on mr prejudgment but it has given away just a fraction on the question of the deadline the ball and the fact is back in the catalan government's caught with a constitutional crisis is far from over. the back and forth between madrid and barcelona has prolonging the standoff between the two sides and the catalan government is adamant about its position organizing a referendum is not a crime so that when we are confronted with there is no separation of powers in the spanish state there is no respect for the basic laws. and the only thing we can

address east politically to respond he's demanding us to do. in madrid the head of the catalan police force just said louise capita was questioned at spain's national court despite pressure from the prosecution he's not being detained thora teams have withheld his passport he's accused of failing to enforce a ban on the october first referendum a vote to madrid says that was illegal under the constitution. it has angered many in catalonia for whom beto is a hero to the region secessionist after his force took a much less aggressive position than the national police force they came under international criticism for their violent crackdown on voters. there is little clarity about how this will end and which side will back down and many whatever the castle government decides to do it will pay the price for holding the referendum in the first place so you go out barcelona you know hundreds of people protested in

barcelona for a spanish judge jailed the leaders of two independence groups jeremy sanchez and johnny cash are now being investigated for sedition organizing demonstrations their groups are urging catalans to protest by stopping work on tuesday. unfortunately the judge's decision is to take away our freedom it's an act that doesn't correspond to any principles of justice it's an act i mean that frightening us and punishing us for defending freedom and peacefully taking to the streets as we have done so many times and that's why i want to sincerely ask that every response given in the coming days and the overall response will be to permanently protest which will lead us to the proclamation of the republic we will give them the same attitude that has made us stronger united polite and self-confident they can't defeat us if we remain strong and rescue crews in somalia working to find survivors two days after the worst suicide attack in the country's history well

than three hundred people were killed and hundreds more injured after a truck bomb explosion ripped through the heart of the capital. reports. it's a search to recover bodies and perhaps to find survivors rescue workers hope there's still life under these piles of rubble. twenty four hours after the explosion we found a young man who was alive the first thing i asked for was a phone so he could call his family he will continue to look for survivors for as long as it takes. more than three hundred people died in saturday's bombing attack in mogadishu scores are still missing. and his family were nearby when the car exploded he hasn't seen his brother since then. my brother and his wife that near the blast that he's still. out or if they survived they've gone to the sea and all the hospitals but still nothing. many families are left with only

questions not knowing whether to grieve or hang on to hope. my son had a pharmacy. with a tragedy happened we still don't know where he is dead or a life he had she wipes and twelve children he was a sole breadwinner. for survivors international help has arrived military planes take these victims to turkey where they will receive specialized treatment with limited resources and medical supplies local hospitals are struggling. in my career as a doctor i've never seen anything like this they were burned bodies all over the place hundreds of fatalities were registered at medina hospital countless are injured. countries like kenya ethiopia and qatar are offering logistical help locals are also doing what they can retrieving bodies from the rubble providing food and water for emergency workers. but they are also angry hundred six of the

streets uphold the attack they blame the armed group fighting the government and. union peacekeepers inside somalia. it was a messy i've never seen anything like it in the last twenty seven years i saw a little boy's head lying on the ground it was shocking. no one has yet claimed responsibility but speaking to al jazeera and al shabaab spokesman refused to confirm or deny responsibility the president who visited the scene blames what he calls terrorists targeting innocent civilians. the show has now turned to anger pain and frustration as somalis deal with the deadly aftermath and all rising death toll. now dizzier meanwhile the eiffel tower is dimming its lights in solidarity with somalia off that attack the monument in the french capital usually

stays lit until late at night in recent times though the mayor of paris has asked for the talos lights to be switched off to on the victims of attacks around the world well philip seems a professor of journalism of the university of southern california he says western media have often failed to cover attacks in africa the coverage in the united states today was pretty substantial but i think by tomorrow it will evaporate whether it's somalia or yemen. the fact is that the west didn't take it lead the united states is very slow to cover things that don't directly affect the on news audience here your stage part of the america first attitude that has been so prominent in u.s. politics. well i think there's some racial connotations and i think there's always a feeling among a lot of people in the united states and oil it's just africa again and there's always war there's always an attack there's always a famine and people but i don't think most americans could even find some out on

a map and that's that's a real problem that the consciousness about suffering in the rest of the world is not where it should be the news media have to have to work harder part of the responsibility of news organizations is not just to report the news but to educate the public and when things like this are going on. the public needs to be taught about it the other thing is that there is quite likely an al qaida connection to this to this attack in somalia and that might stir the american interest it is a unified world and when there is an attack in somalia it is not unrelated to the to the safety of americans. lots more still to come here on al-jazeera including legal challenges loom as israel approves more illegal jewish. and the cleanup begins after a full storm it's all a more on the stay with us. from

dusk the sunset so it's proving savannah. to sunrise the top in metropolis how they set fire across the middle east a little bit of the possibility of around the black sea around the caspian sea still got this little area a cloud in place i think for georgia a possibility of some showers coming through anywhere between the black sea and the caspian sea you see that little china clapperton some wet weather all the way into the far north of iran once again and pushing a little further east with could see some snow over towards his back to start as we go on into the middle part of the way guess where dry and sunny as per usual thought of all celsius the top temperature for kuwait city tad warmer than that. around thirty seven degrees over the next couple of days pleasantly warm shall we say you can see the warm sunshine stretches across the arabian peninsula and again

. but we have dry weather to come back into south africa after a recent spell of rather heavy rain might just see want to see coastal showers just around the southern cape perhaps into the eastern cape that's for tuesday wednesday is fine and dry the showers clear away we'll see some warm sunshine coming through harare gets up to thirty four celsius for the north sunshine and showers across central parts of africa once again we got showers around the highlands right across into the gulf of guinea. the weather sponsored by. allison when they're on line we were in hurricane. almost like thirty six hours these are the things that has to address or if you join us on saturday. but. is a dialogue tweet us with hash tag eight a stream and one of your pitches might make the next join the global conversation

separation hundreds of settlers kept apart from thousands of palestinians with cages barbed wire and a large israeli army presence conditions which attract mostly religiously radical right wing settlers the approval would change the designation of this land from a military base to housing use and given that the israeli army seized it on security grounds that does open up the prospect of a legal challenge hebron as mayer says he plans to do just that this is the first announcement in a series of approvals planned for this week nearly three thousand eight hundred housing units are expected to be given either advance or retrospective approvals bringing this year's total to more than twice that of twenty sixteen all of which are illegal under international law the israeli prime minister while telling settler groups he remains under u.s. pressure to rein in construction apparently feels freer to build with president donald trump in the white house than with his predecessor the israeli government is offering no comment beyond announcing the approval in recent weeks netanyahu has

been looking to shore up his prosthetic credentials saying not a single israeli settlement would ever be given up the one in hebron is due instead to get bigger hairy force at al-jazeera hebron in the occupied west bank. al-jazeera is demanding the release of its journalist mahmoud hussein who has now been imprisoned in egypt for three hundred two days he's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos cheney and al-jazeera strongly deny hussein has repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail he was arrested in december while visiting his family a journalist who's been leading the fight against corruption in malta has been killed by a car bomb definitely he had made several allegations against siena business and political figures reports the burned drek of daphne koller one ugly thea's car lies in a bolt he's feeling flung over a wall by an explosion which killed the crusading journalist. in the crowd don't.

closed schools closed families waiting at home for the worst of a fear to pass without the local shop this morning and it was like christmas eve it was packed with paper stuff you know we're in for the storm kind of sitting. in the street scary i'm looking forward to getting home. i think we're just in the brunt of it right now for the next couple of hours meanwhile to the east over england calm but of fear brought a strange glow to the sky not an impending apocalypse a scientists but sunlight filtered through dust pulled up from the sahara and the forest fires in spain and portugal barnaby phillips al-jazeera on islands west coast and charlie angelo has more now on the strange color of the sky over the u.k. . well here in london people aren't really looking where they're going because that looking up in the sky and that's because it's turned quite alarming brown so

incredibly windy i spoke to the met office earlier that's the u.k.'s national weather but the next plane that is hurricane ophelia tracked across the north and then over north africa it picked up sand particles from the south then as it went top of the spain and portugal picked up the smoke particles from the wildfires that are raging this combination has created the color because the blue light is being deflected back up into the atmosphere and the red light is being allowed through the particles a very high up in the us this is no knock on effect for people with any risk of difficulty but it is creating quite a buzz here and. now scientists have observed an age old collision of two giant neutron stars in deep space it's an event never before seen in all of human history confirms a theory about how heavy elements such as gold and platinum were created. a cosmic collision two neutron stars one hundred thirty million light years away

crashed together with all inspiring force the event so powerful it created ripples in the fabric of space time called gravitational waves what's amazing with this discovery is that. all of this that was observed on august seventeenth was actually predicted it saw over a century ago einstein predicted that two orbiting objects we limited good educational waves as they spied only in. and asked the physicist predicted that as that two compact objects in space that in your dress that's called light they said they meet gamma rays and giants this simulation shows what it may have looked like it was also observable as visible light and gamma ray radiation this is what scientists actually observed a small dot of light emerging glowing blue and then fading to read before disappearing the event in the constellation hydra set in motion

a frantic effort by scientists from california to chile and europe using satellites astronomical observatories and radio telescopes to find the exact location of the stellar smash up this simulation shows the stars in a slowly decaying orbit around one another a death spiral that lasted eleven billion years before the final merger this shows the resulting jet of gamma ray radiation and matter that burst out in an instant with the amount of energy that our sun only emits over millions of years the burst contained heavy elements such as gold platinum in lead created in the unimaginably hot dense and radioactive furnace of the neutron stars collision and now through these observations what we found out was that those heavy elements things like platinum and gold were created in neutron star mergers and so the gold in your

feelings or you know that you're wearing around your finger that most likely came from a winery a neutron star merger millions of years ago the amount of such metals the explosion scattered across the universe is estimated at sixteen thousand times the mass of earth. gravitational waves are produced by the most violent events in the universe fortunately for us by the time the waves reached earth their force was only perceptible to the most sophisticated of instruments rob reynolds al-jazeera. recap the top stories here on al-jazeera iraqi government forces have taken control of the contested city of quetta cook from kurdish forces tension has been mounting in the oil rich region ever since the kurds how the referendum on succession last month the united states and the united nations secretary general both calling for
