members of the dissolved cabinet who are appearing not. all of them because some of them with the deposed president karl has pushed him on in brussels he said that he would not come here simply because he want to make sure that this is going to be a fair trial and he was in brussels for his freedom and safety now his lawyer in brussels has suggested that he could appear by video link however we haven't heard whether the quote here with accept that now the hearings are going on at the moment we know that every all nine of the former ministers will take the stand and speak one after the other but we don't have more details about what's happening inside so if. it doesn't eventually show up in court what might the consequences be how how far might the court take this with them.

well the judge and prosecutor were quite clear in the. instance they said that if he doesn't appear here then they will issue an international arrest warrant against . he would be at that point considered a fugitive that hasn't happened yet but he is certainly said it very clearly that he won't be coming here and he won't be facing this trial because he is now. describes himself a leader. in exile and he wants to make sure the continuity. do the regional government which he describes as illegitimate elected regional government ok. thank you. the u.s. president donald trump says the man charged with carrying out

a renewed military offensive that began on august twenty fifth. thousands of tired and hungry wrenching men women and children are stranded in feels under an open sky near a bangladeshi crossing they're being kept there by bangladeshi border guards refugees say they haven't been given any reason they've been handed spokesperson of the asia pacific with u.n.h.c.r. she joins us live from cox's bizarre we appreciate your time vivian so what do you know about why they are stuck there at this crossing. well we've been advocating with the government to release them as soon as these people have been walking for days just to reach the myanmar side of the border they some of them had to. even last night to cross the border there are in terrible shape we hope the government can release them let them come further inland as soon as possible this has happened in the past many times two mondays ago and the monday

before that we have people stand on the border and they were released so we're hoping with this group that this they will also be released as soon as possible that we can help them this visit by anton so she will do all that in your opinion make any difference about what's happening. we are hopeful the visit will let us see what is happening on the ground and we are continuing to advocate for humanitarian access. has been hindered in late august the u.n. agencies and n.g.o.s are ready to help support all communities that are affected by the violence in northern rakhine state regardless of whether they were british hindus we were ready to help if we have humanitarian action so what what is going on now at these camps are they more organized what to what are they able to do for people at these camps. well

a number of camps image of settlements have sprouted what we're trying to do is really just to make sure they get the poor that's the most immediate focus to make sure they have health care water food that they have shelter over their head what we've been doing. we've opened the government to plan a site in a new area called we called and we're moving people from the camps to decongest them we're moving people from the transit center to free up more space for the new arrivals who are coming from the border so it's really a focus on lifesaving assistance at this point ok i am with you and i thank you very much. more head of the news hour including a warm welcome canada says it will admit nearly one million immigrants over the next three years on a day dedicated to crimes against journalists we take you to the most dangerous place in the world to be a reporter i don't was a memorable night for

a toad ham hocks for in the champions league against real madrid peter will have more in sport. to sixty seven words to change the course of history in the middle east the balfour declaration led to the state of israel and dispossession of palestinians from their homeland israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the u.k. to meet theresa may to mark the day they've been demonstrations in occupied palestinian territories these are the scenes outside the british consulate in east jerusalem where protesters have gathered carrying black flags that when an apology and accountability from the british government for that declaration about four declarations seen as the precursor to the forced expulsion and displacement of millions of palestinians from their land over the years ordered smith met one man in gaza who remembers the final years of the british mandate in palestine. at the age of ninety four mohammed alba hayseed is almost as old as the british

commonwealth cemetery in gaza it's the final resting place for thousands of soldiers killed as they fought for empire in one nine hundred seventeen and then in the second world war a permanent reminder of britain's pivotal role in shaping the destiny of today's palestinians. very beginning of the british mandate it was obvious they loved the jews they supply them with everything including weapons tanks food everything. they really put pressure on us was that if a single bullet was found in the hands of a palestinian he would be hanged immediately mohammed fought with other palestinians against the arms zionist groups that attacked the villages before the creation of israel. at first we didn't really know what. only later did you realise it meant giving a national home to the jews at the time we were not really able to win the war with the jewish groups simply britain favored the jews and give them our land to

establish their own state and we had no other choice but to flee and leave our lands mohammed would be among the seven hundred thousand palestinians who fled walked in one thousand nine hundred forty eight had just become israel. a hundred years after the promises made by we have left everything behind our land our homes . now we are dependent on food no electricity no water and on the edge as mohammed think they'll ever be peace here they killed us left us hungry term into a refugee how can there be peace he asks bernard smith al-jazeera gaza. trying to us now from ramallah in the occupied west bank the house a sad thing played out their house is being remembered there kerry. has been a pretty large scale protest here in the center of ramallah already a lot of students and school children involved black flags being hung on government

buildings on one hundred thousand letters from the high school students expressing their feelings about the balfour declaration being handed in to the british consulate in jerusalem i'm joined here in ramallah by who is the deputy minister for multilateral affairs at the foreign affairs ministry. what exactly is the call coming from the palace enough already for action from united. will the call from the palestinian government is for the u.k. put up to fight this injustice that befell the honesty and people because of what they saw the collaboration the policy statement which has to go see it is off of it events that led to where the palestinian now they are still under a colonial regime that the u.k. britain great britain has sought it seized and they are still living under the and justice all for your patience denied the lightness of the nation denied denied

their right to statehood and independence because of what the u.k. has started over one hundred years ago about what the u.k. has started of course there were thirty one years of history between about for decoration and decoration the state of israel or the not for the catastrophe as it's known here among palestinians and to what extent can all wait be put on that moment to nine hundred seventeen lots of zionists who say that it would have happened anyway there's lots of activity on the ground that would have been done with or without the the support. that's untrue because simply because the policy statement that was issued by the. in one nine hundred seventy s. was actively and the british pursued by the british government in palestine the colonial aspect of implementing this policy was was actively pursued by denying the palestinians and here the commission by denying the palestinian anita cognition

of their requests given that they were ninety seven percent of the population on this land by asserting that the public land and giving them to someone else by inviting. people from outside palestine to come and live in palestine without their consent and the request by doing policies that were that led to the next one thousand nine hundred forty seven which befell the palestinian people and which we still live off of this day so basically nineteen seventeen was the announcement of this colonial racist policy that led to the situation we are living on up until now and the years that followed and the policies that were implemented on the ground in london tonight we see celebrate st bernard being attended by both theresa may the british prime minister benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel. what we've been hearing from the risk government is that i think it's

nuanced talking about the pride in having created a homeland for persecuted people while still saying that more needs to be done to secure a lasting peace rights for the palestinians what do you make of what's been coming out of british governments and we believe what what the you you government is mocking and in a celebratory fashion is something that is not twenty first century it is something that. they are celebrating a legacy of colonialism and racism that runs contrary to everything that the u.k. has signed up for including international treaties and. to find a solution to the palestinian people because they still refuse the government refuse to recognize the palestinian people and the state it is it is not. the level of. the age and time living under also the statements that come out from

the u.k. government and if there is anything about this it's a shameful there is nothing to take but in this in the celebration and i just thank you very much for joining us and so that's what we've seen so far in ramallah pretty large scale demonstrations against the legacy of the balfour declaration of course we didn't see. the israeli side marking this in a few days' time with a special session of the knesset and indeed that with a reason may and benjamin netanyahu did later on today ok life for us and i'm allah thank you. members of south africa's opposition party the economic freedom fighters or the marching to the israeli embassy in solidarity with palestinians and our tanya page is there so tanya why do so many south africans feel such a connection such as solidarity with palestinians. would join the

long years of apartheid. isolated state and so was israel because of its actions against the palestinians to so they form quite close relationships in fact israel have lied to her and shimon on sweets and everything which is against the black majority and she apartheid activist said it was a natural alliance between and to apartheid activists and the palestinian people in fact during apartheid from the palestinian leader yasser arafat express solidarity with imprisons nelson mandela and the african national congress which at the. time mandela and the a.n.c. were considered terrorists and terrorist organizations by many countries in the west the us and they. didn't forget that turn upon release from prison and become presidents he recognized steinitz states from a ninety nine. and had been of. sound that meeting with him several times over the

course of his presidency so you see there was a long history of solidarity between a majority of south africans and the post in your home so why is it that it's not the governing governing that is a and say that that's our fair on the streets today. show well i thought you know there's a difference between being a liberation party and being in government. and government has always expressed support for a two state solution and says it is firmly behind the palestinian people but as you said it's not on the streets it is the second largest opposition party the economic freedom fries who are picketing outside the israeli embassy here and they say that's because the and sea wall and government has lost its way and they are accusing it of siding more now with the israeli government rather than with the palestinian people however a few months ago the agency suggested it would consider downgrading its diplomatic

relations with israel downgrading its embassy in jerusalem to a liaison office go ahead it is confirmed perhaps by the end of the day would be a significant shift in relations diplomatically between south africa israel pantai new page i for us and for tory thank you. british police have requested the extradition of the manchester arena bombers brother from libya officials want to arrest ha shem a baby and relation to the murder of the twenty two victims killed in the concert attack someone a baby detonated a suicide bomb during an ariana grande a concert in may or crothers to travel to libya april with someone returning. along with britain before carrying out that attack a month later arson is believed to be in custody after being captured by a libyan a fighter group there where he joins us live from tripoli so how likely is his extradition to actually happen.

well you can be sure so far either he's going to be extradited to the remark because so far that is no official statement from the special deterrence force that is the security apparatus that is policing the capital tripoli here and it's affiliated to the internationally recognized government of national accord nor from the ministry of foreign affairs there is no comment on this demand from the british police so far but we know that it. brother of the suicide bomber of all a tag last may be he has been detained by the special litters force since the twenty third of last may just one day after his brother carried out the attack and special deterrence force says that her should be. has confessed that he was taught she was his brother and the both the both are

affiliates that is according to the special deterrence force now again he was about to carry out similar attacks in tripoli before he was got prevented by the special forces and they said that he was born also like his brother and he was studying engineering in manchester and now they said that he received an amount of money in april just a couple of days. or in may a couple of days before the attack took place and. also says that he was in connection with his brother and it's believed that the attack was not carried only by baby but it was run by a group of perpetrators ok thank you very much i'm going to tell what he's reporting from tripoli documents released by the cia are shedding more light on the

former leader of al qaeda osama bin laden the american intelligence agency says it has made four hundred seventy thousand files available to the public however the website appears to be offline when we try to access it as a game reports the files range from a journal to document showing possible links with iran. this is the world's first glimpse of homs bin laden as a man now in his twenty's he's the son of the former al qaeda leader osama bin laden and believed to be a potential future leader of the armed group. home videos osama's journal and a list of his and his family's viewing habits are among the four hundred seventy thousand files seized during the raid on bin laden's pakistan compound in two thousand and eleven he was killed by u.s. navy seals but what's also making headlines in the u.s. are revelations about al qaeda links to iran it's alleged iran offered al qaeda

money weapons and training to hit american targets in the gulf iran denies that and points out that it imprison bin laden's family and other al qaeda members this is already a precarious moment for iran u.s. relations president donald trump is hoping to scuttle a nuclear deal negotiated by the obama administration and five countries the iranian dictatorships aggression continues to this day the regime remains the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and provides assistance to al qaida the taleban hezbollah hamas and other terrorist networks the cia release of al qaeda documents also comes as eisel is in retreat there's speculation al qaeda is hoping to capitalize on the group's weekend state natasha going to aim al-jazeera. and

a few moments we'll have the weather with staff but still ahead on al-jazeera a tense standoff that a president has on a kenny could the new zealand government come to the rescue of hundreds of refugees taking a stand for women on this peru beauty contestants have staged a protest and sport world officer with victory the finalists of the side in south africa's top competition. from brisk. to the one trying to reach of southeast asia. hello there around here now we've a few tropical storms that are trying to develop that certainly given us an intense the area of rain we're seeing some very heavy downpours around the philippines over two hundred millimeters of rain never very very wet and also in the southern parts of vietnam over one hundred thirty millimeters of rain there so already

a lot of very heavy downpours and it looks like that storm system is going to intensify before it eventually makes landfall you can see it here tracking its way slowly towards the west it's only moving quite slowly but it is moving across waters that are twenty nine degrees that's easily warm enough to let it to develop fairly quickly and also the winds aren't too strong so that won't push the system over so it's moving steadily westward and it's still intensifying as it does so at the moment the winds aren't too impressive but just before landfall we're expecting the sustained winds to be around one hundred fifty kilometers per hour that will make it the equivalent of a top end category one hurricane so not particularly intense but certainly very blurry and i think the main problem from the system rather than the winds is going to be the rain because as it works its way towards land it's very mountainous here so that will begin to shred the system that means the winds will begin to ease before it makes landfall but we're going to see an awful lot of heavy rain particularly on saturday. sponsored by race.

where there is water there is life but finding it and australia's arid desert says a skilled few still possess they took us to a small spot in the desert and this was this is a very important place they've been telling us about for the last five days. and under orders against all odds an aging population is passing on its knowledge the rainmakers of the outback at this time. when the news breaks. and the. much better marketing. when people need to be heard. until. now they're deported. al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring. documentaries and live. and.

watching al-jazeera let's recap the top stories this hour the ministers have appeared at a spanish court where they're being questioned over last week's declaration of independence fourteen members of attack on kaput or face a rebellion and sedition charges in march later on sunset she is visiting northern rakhine state for the first time since a military crackdown forced more than six hundred thousand to flee their homes she visited two villages with ministers where she spoke to locals and gave a message of peace and stability. rangi refugees have accused me and mars military

of arson and killings and there were mass demonstrations in occupied palestinian territories marking one hundred years of the balfour declaration and when an apology from the british government for a document that led to the creation of the state of israel and expulsion of palestinians their historic land. about project liberation has been described as one of the most controversial and contested documents of modern arab history led to the creation of the state of israel and the forced expulsion and displacement of millions of palestinians from their historic land and this is what palestine looked like one hundred years ago and what you're looking at is a swath of land marked in white so we encroach upon by a sea of gray it shows how palestine disappeared from the map. only allowed limited cell for a while and small pockets under israeli military occupation the longest and modern history. joining us on set here and bashar al jazeera senior political analyst how

would you characterize the the implications the effect of the balfour declaration. nor the certainly it was the the beginning of the success story for the zionist movement and for the. the beginnings of the foundation of the supervision there's no doubt that this was a key date for the beginning of the success of the movement. because it was the time when the most important power at the time great britain recognized that. the jews have a right for a homeland in palestine and in so many ways is that zionist went on and built supplements and build the structures for the police state and later on the state and the state as we know expanded after nine hundred sixty seven and it became what it is today probably the most powerful country in the middle east that's for the zionists for the palestinians of course it was like a zero sum game it was exactly the opposite that was the through beginning of that

get the astral fee and did it have to be a zero sum game it didn't have to be it was and we would go to the idea of what the leadership's responsibility is but in the end of the day what was as a sign of success story for the lobbying of great britain or lobbying of the leaders in london to recognize a homeland for the for the jews for the palestinians of that was a total catastrophe that was the beginning of the major settlements and of course months on their land that was the beginning of dispossession leading to their catastrophe in forty eight and leading to the fleeing or the kicking out of two thirds of their population and for all of their land to be either possessed or occupied by israel i think the key date in a far as i'm concerned i mean this is none of this is strange right the zionists and the palestinians i think what's really a mystery to me is how the official leaders in britain today i mean prime

minister to you said may and is responding to this how did you know how would you like or to respond well look i mean great britain likely united states are both now going through really examining their colonial and racist past in the us traces fastly very and souls of war and going to britain it's a question of the days of empire the days of colonialism you would have expected but i minister made to say look this where one hundred years ago we were a colonial power we were an empire. we did all kinds of things i mean you're saying just just an acknowledgement good knowledge of what the past was just at the america they're bringing down monuments you would you would expect. but i minister may does not ever wrecked a monument for balfour that you would recognize that this was part of a racist even anti-semite they just didn't like the jews didn't vote for didn't want the jews to immigrate to great britain to london so he made he made sure that they would immigrate elsewhere to palestine so there was

a bit of an asymmetric approach to this to this promise of this declaration by both be that as it may what's really intriguing as well is a hundred years later we're actually discussing the same thing alone you're listening of palestine instead of great britain now we talk about the united states instead of balfour promising the land that it does not belong to great britain to a people that did not live in palestine without consulting the people who lived in palestine the palestinians to the american leaders promising land in palestine like the big settlements to israel they're considering that jerusalem east jerusalem that is mostly palestinian to become the capital of israel again promising land that's not theirs to people who don't live there without consulting the indigenous population so hundred years later hundred years since both were and the same place still in the same logic and the same with the same disaster. thank you very much

for your input as always. well the white house has condemned russia for blocking there were new rule of a u.n. panel that investigates chemical attacks in syria last week the panel found the government carried out a sarin gas attack on consequent april killing at least eighty people and the statement the white house said russia's veto shows a callous disregard for the suffering caused by chemical weapons it said the panel was found four instances of using chemical weapons making russia's protection of the government even more egregious thursday marks an international day focused on ending crimes against journalists and estimates eight hundred reporters have been killed while doing their job in the past decade but only one in ten cases has led to a conviction syria as the world's most dangerous country for a journalist more than two hundred killed there since the start of the war possible hardball reports on the challenges journalists face while covering the conflict. this is. known as

a bully is eat when the syrian uprising started in two thousand and eleven he joined the hundreds of activists and journalists he took his camera and went wherever there was a story to protest what it battle this is covering a bubble's bush take over how this would be his last assignment but was killed a few days later. this was eight months ago but mother is still coming to terms with her grief. my son spent the whole time covering protests and war he used to tell me he'd take me on a trip all over the world once the war was over and that he'd never leave me again . syria is the most dangerous country in the world for journalists. despite that many take to the streets to document every detail of the war standing

a few meters from where bombs are landing many have lost their lives including photographer. who was killed last year. and. a local reporter covering the war for channel he was shot by a sniper. in two thousand and thirteen. fighting in syria shows no sign of letting government forces recapture more territory the rebels. abdolreza is one of the few citizen journalists still operating in the villages mountain area in northwestern province. has covered some of the deadliest russian government attacks and. each time we go through in the aftermath of an attack the government warplanes launch another strike killing journalist some paramedics i have seen terrifying scene bodies mutilated or burned beyond recognition he spends his days in the

frontline and when he gets back home he posts his pictures of social media he wants the world to remember the atrocities of war as the conflict in syria continues activists and journalists will continue what they've been doing for the last six years showing the horrors of war to millions of people all over the world and despite the dangers they face they remain committed to taking the risk to tell their story. the robertson is deputy director of the asia division i came in rights watch says many governments exploit to violate journalists rights. right well that's what we've seen i mean one of the worst massacres in the world of journalists the one massacre in two thousand and nine in the philippines thirty four journalists were mowed down and still no one has really been held accountable for that you know an ongoing trial some people say well it may take two hundred

years to finish the trial you know this is the sort of thing that journalists face day in day out and they have to start thinking about is it worth the risk that kind of computation shouldn't have to come into play when a journalist is trying to get to the truth to try to uncover what is happening you know to basic bring out the story we've had many countries out in the asia pacific region most recently cambodia you know where a newly minted dictator who in san is busy saying everything that trump says about the media is correct you know when one donald trump says these things there is a ping of that behavior by other dictators around the world and you know this is a problem where you know a wrong tone is set about the media not recognizing that they're valuable and they have a role to play in democratic society and the next thing you know we start looking at cases of people being disappeared people being killed for doing their jobs hundreds of refugees have been forced to dig wells in search of water and it's ten

stand out on you can he's a man a silent about six hundred refugees have barricaded themselves inside a former australian run present town because they're worried about attacks from hostile locals andrew thomas reports. these videos sent exclusively to al-jazeera by refugee give a glimpse of life now inside what was the man i saw in the refugee prison the men collecting water in we leave bins when it rains they have also dug a well. it's hot and humid with no electricity in the shinning all fans the men sleeping outside officially the prison is now a naval base and the refugees trespassing hello is this is andrew exum a safe from al-jazeera. but despite fears soldiers could have them one refugee told us naval personnel are actually helping them recharging their phones so they can stay in contact with family and the media.

but other locals seen as a threat to australia once refugees to move to this accommodation in the local town but while some looked ready other housing is still under construction and refugees say none of it is protected from papua new guinea and who they fear will break in and attack them those fears are unfounded says the australian immigration minister who's critical of political opponents and pressure groups like amnesty i want to close medicines quickly as possible but it doesn't help when you've got the greens and others who are telling people not to engage not to move a very difficult situation even worse i put that to one refugee is its principle that is making you stay where you are are you being to some extent stubborn you don't want to be pushed around by australia and.

you know what. the refugees are painting some hope for new zealand its new prime minister said on thursday her predecessors offer to australia to resettle one hundred fifty refugees still stands. it rained heavily on thursday meaning the refugees could have a shower one refugee wrote on social media that it showed mother nature's kindness andrew thomas altshuler said the british british defense secretary michael fallon has quit saying it's conduct this fallen below the standards expected at the position it's the first resignation in a sexual harassment scandal at westminster the growing number of allegations against the m.p.'s have been fuelled by accusations of sex abuse against hollywood producer harvey weinstein in recent days allegations have been made about n.p.c. conduct including my own many of these allegations have been false but i realise

a based on more than ten percent on current figures the plan was announced by immigration minister ahmed hussein who was born in somalia has more from toronto already more welcoming of immigrants than many other countries canada is opening its doors even wider plans to admit more than three hundred forty thousand people a year up from roughly three hundred thousand now were announced in parliament by immigration minister ahmed hussein who came to canada from somalia in one thousand nine hundred three. once this was a former british colony home mostly to people of european origin today especially in cities it's one of the most diverse places in the world recently released census figures say more than a fifth of canadians were born outside the country most of come under a merit based system that rates education and job skills highly once accepted they're allowed to bring close family here in the shopping malls and neighborhoods around canada's largest city is where the transformative effect of immigration can
