4:08 pm
to lease will take back all baby milk products manufactured regardless of their production date from wherever it is being sold and in particular from supermarkets and chemists of this radical step is simple to avoid delays problems of sorting batches and the risk of human error the touch of bottle has more from paris well there's been a growing sense of anger among the families whose children have been affected by this contaminated milk a sense that perhaps lacked alyssa's french most firm just hasn't been transparent enough about what has been happening in there perhaps they were even trying to hide or cover up some of the facts and once contributed to that as well is the fact that the c.e.o. of the company has not responded until now emmanuel ben you has now given an interview to the demarche a french newspaper here and in that interview he denies trying to cover up anything he says that a large investigation has been launched in the company and that all the families
4:09 pm
will be compensated but there's no doubt there's been a lot of pressure on like this over the past few weeks and the french government is now you saying that they are considering penalties against it and we're talking about a situation a scandal that was sure to just affect france but now it's much bigger than that more than eighty countries around the world have been affected there is contaminated milk possibly in some of those countries and also talk about twelve million boxes of this product having to be recalled by luck to lists ois governors apologize for the accidental message sent to residents wallie of an imminent missile strike the alert triggered panic among many hawaiians who scramble to find shelter now the emergency management agency later confirmed it was a false alarm particle he looks at what happened. u.s. president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong un have been trading claims about who has the bigger nuclear button so you might expect the u.s. state of hawaii in the middle of the pacific would be on edge always the first
4:10 pm
place they're going to drop a bomb it's crazy you know living here it's awesome but the same time you know feeling you know like secure all the time that might explain why when this alert was sent out to every cell phone on the island people panicked the warning a ballistic missile was coming seek shelter this is not a drill so people just are it's starting around trying to get into that room so there was a bunch of old girls who were eating and some kids are crying and nobody really knew what to do people on twitter found out about ten minutes later from emergency officials and politicians it was a false alarm those not on twitter had to wait much longer before a correction was sent out thirty eight terrifying minutes how could this happen in the first place the explanation itself is baffling it was a procedure that occurs at the change of shift when they go through to make sure that the system is working and employing pushed along but that's right officials
4:11 pm
say one person pushed one wrong button the government says it will investigate but for the people who live through this panic that's little comfort i just hire anyone to this author place. that was it people are just running on history they were all desperately. there was nothing at all they got one job right he messed up so all that's crazy a false alarm in the face of an actual threat making the people of hawaii realize they might not be ready for the real thing pedicle hain al-jazeera washington. while still had hailed the al-jazeera news iran's president says donald trump has failed to undermine the twenty fifteen nuclear deal calling it a long lasting victory also no. hope for survivors after a burning arabian oil tanker stranded in the east china sea finally sing. and the patriots progress joe will tell you how the super bowl champions got a step closer to defending their title.
4:12 pm
palestinian groups hamas and islamic jihad have declined an invitation to observe but not take part in a meeting organized by the p.l.o. in ramallah they say there's a lack of agreement on how a palestinian group should respond to the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital while the announcement by washington in december has sparked regular protests worldwide person the mood of mass is due to address the meeting later but palestinian relations with israel and pursuing full membership of the united nations are potentially to be discussed bashara is our senior political analyst joins me now from london. i mean the last month has really been a political rollercoaster for the p.l.o. and we want to tending will want to hear surely what new bold direction or ideas the leadership has to tackle the challenges that the palestinians have will they
4:13 pm
surprise us on sunday. well judging from the leaked recommendation from yesterday's meeting of the p.l.o. executive committee i'm not sure there's going to be any major drama or surprises coming up but that's also predictable in a more political and strategic sense imagine because you just mentioned the word direction so imagine solve that we are you know that the p.l.o. is on a quasi road except at this in this crossroad. it cannot make a right because the arab world the saudis the iraqis egyptians basically are not going to support some kind of a new p.l.o. direction outside the known part of meters of the last twenty five years it can't make a left because the europeans and other. global powers are not really dependable when it comes to the palestinian issue it cannot go in reverse because president
4:14 pm
best rejects any notion of going back to anything that resembles resistance to occupation so the only way really is to go forward or get that get out of the car and i'm not sure that the policy the ship is ready to get out of the b.n.a. and to get out of also so in a sense you know the united states basically is in control of the traffic signs you can't make a right you can make a left you can't go back in reverse the only way is to go forward what will come out of this meeting that with that us otherwise that this is not exactly a crossroad that this is may be something of a temporary bind and that they would break out of it i doubt it i think short of a dramatic announcement from the from the p.l.o. president i don't think we will see any major change coming up well to move forward they also need to bring all of the palestinian factions on side and it is perhaps
4:15 pm
problematic that hamas and islamic jihad all staying away what we read into this winds of the recent sounds from the palestinian authority was that they'd settle their differences yes exactly and if you allow me to stay with my traffic comparisons you know the thing about the palestinian hamas and jihad is not just that they're islamist and it's not that the fact that they are also embrace resistance occupations the fact that they reject the entire traffic lights imposed on the palestinians by the international community they reject the oil spill process. and while we've seen some leaks about the p.l.o. reconsidering its position from the ostler negotiations and especially from the idea that the united states would continue to sponsor those negotiations under the oslo auspices worked what is clear is that have mass and jihad don't really believe that fatah the main political palestinian party is ready to break away from
4:16 pm
a twenty five years of failure in this peace process and to embrace something totally new what we here today is more of a sign that they would like to see you on conference and the united nations auspices of not exactly original thinking that they would like the year two thousand and eighteen to be the year when occupation ends but sure this is a wish or wishful thinking and i think in that sense we don't see really a common agenda actionable adjourned between the various palestinian factions and hence among other reasons hamas and jihad decided not to attend who should see what has come out of that lead to come but for more analysis for the later in the day moment thanks for joining us from london. well a bomb has gone off in a car in southern lebanon now the lebanese army says the attack in the southern city of sidon targeted a member of the palestinian group hamas the individual was wounded in the blast but
4:17 pm
his exact condition is not yet known. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has begun a sixty visit to india to boost trade ties to discuss new delhi's decision to scrap the defense steel indian prime minister to address joint debt in your home the war memorial in new delhi india is israel's largest arms market buying about a billion dollars worth of weapons every year however earlier this month the dia canceled a half a billion dollar order to buy israeli missiles and last but that voted in favor of a resolution calling for the u.s. to drop its recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital let's bring in how people jacob in new delhi's an associate professor of near a university and of course visits like this by senior politicians you do expect a raft of deals to be signed it all sectors this defense steel around the spike antitank missiles system is worth five hundred million dollars to the israelis they will want to try to get that back on track but it counters prime minister modi sort
4:18 pm
of made in india policy by home grown produce and materials doesn't it. that is true i think there is a large force or or an make in india producing different systems within india but india also realizes that. india has one of the biggest trade defense partners. in. need it is very that has stood by me as i don't think there is a real contradiction between the two but i think indians will continue to pursue. to produce different systems in generally part of the same time by. a good deal look at it from you saying that is doable but what does india actually want from israel that they actually can't produce themselves. well i think in hostile issues i think that at this point of drive it would be wrong to look at the india its relationship as a defense back merely as
4:19 pm
a defense partnership i think there's much more beyond that it has gone into pubs it does go to do. a show we are negotiating a free trade agreement with this wave of water purification agriculture so you're looking at the cost of the she was in fact a hundred plus the war was held up wasn't it was a horrible time for the companies that are committing this and then you have all these day. there will be a meeting of the euro or. so i don't think it is just indifference published by this board of. india as i said the india is a little bit about that much would be your view on that a lot of your that so i think a difference partnership is one major area. but it is another made of area what if we didn't get patients so i think that a good deal of our lesions to because we didn't like just a few weeks ago when we had the u.n. general assembly voted i spoke to you about the relationship between india and israel considering india supported the resolution against the decision by the united states to move their embassy and declare jerusalem israel's capital the
4:20 pm
relationship is very close between these two countries is there anything to repair it was it business as usual. i don't think there is much of a fair problem at this point of time and despite the. problems of the two sites more problems are going to tend sat outside my core of them. stems india as you rightly pointed out what of it games you say and in the us you say it has a very close relationship with the chinese for instance that doesn't seem to have or that the indian site this actually shows to my mind the maturity of the india's relationship which has now come out after twenty five years of establishing the lessons there when the israeli side just come out in the open it is no more a secret relationship in the actually in the in the in the in the behind closed doors now so therefore i think it will be a defense and this will be these things will be better with much would it be added
4:21 pm
to our political system so i don't think that is something that india all these areas should be worried about because of these issues coming in the way to see what does come out of these meetings over the six state visit for the moment to have a jacob the thanks so much for joining us from new delhi thank you. well thousands of people on the streets of the tunis in capital to mark seventy years since the revolution that sparked the arab spring. activists here many of the issues which brought people to the streets back then are still causing problems today the government's promised more systems for poor families suffering from tax increases and price hikes after days of recent protests well let's go straight over to hashem when we speak to us. there were many hundreds if not thousands of people on the streets what's the mood like where you are right now considering this is the seventh anniversary of that revolution that changed north africa forever.
4:22 pm
so hailed the celebrations still continue here on the mall gave us where we wish was the focal point of the project of course you know the that started in tunisia and the positive turned eleven and his fiery elsewhere of course it's a moment of pride for bennett in his ears because they say that they from here that sentiment pushing for more democracy and freedom will be out of world as threat to the region but it's also a moment of things about the future people have high hopes that the two thousand and eleven revolution will bring about just parity and stability there were always a ups and downs in tillie's yeah since we've seen fires to government protests and since the instability of the wines of armed groups and attacks targeting as. a tourist like the one which harbored ensues thousand and. eight tourists were killed and which was dealt a severe head to the tourism industry into this year so there are this whole but
4:23 pm
there's also hangs i only my colleague was set up as i would look into the most important event that sparked it is yeah sister thousand and eleven. i this was the two new zealand capital seven years ago when protests. says made history. but simple demands and joblessness and improved prospects for young people the spark the regional arab spring uprising. the perseverance ended the rule of physicians in an aberdeen banally who'd been accused of corruption and rights abuse but also began an era of political uncertainty less dienstag deng and not prepared to be the person who takes decision this which result in the loss of life. and the conservative islamic party banned by ben ali was on its way to win elections. we have seen the popularity that hinata has around the country. and after
4:24 pm
a turbulent nine months the ushered in a democratically elected government in october two thousand and eleven. there were more demonstrations a year later despite a ban on protests and the challenge for to his ear is security and law and order especially on its borders but then geria and libya. three years after the revolution demonstrators took to the streets against economic hardship a new technocrat government was still failing to improve living conditions in two thousand and fourteen. but to new zealand's did get a new constitution hailed as an important step towards full democracy. the two thousand and fourteen elections brought power to the second learned that to this party which later formed a coalition government but the conservative in the party but the security situation failed to improve. the lives of twenty two people including twenty one foreign tourists were killed when a gunman opened fire at a museum in the capital tunis. in june thirty nine people nearly all of them
4:25 pm
foreign tourists were killed in a gun attack on a five star hotel in sousse the news yes two of them industry has struggled to recover since then. people were out on the streets once again now they didn't feel safe and also had no jobs in two thousand and sixteen tenn a build a two hundred kilometer barrier along its border with libya to try and keep out fighters and refugees but in march fifty five people were killed when dozens of fighters stormed through the town of been going down near the libyan border attacking army and police posts last may president the sipsey ordered the army to protect oil facilities in the south after protests planned to destroy production. and if he has made major advancements in achieving democracy in improving its institutions but on the streets the economic hardships which sparked the protests seven years ago still continue. some of the job he had others there. well hushing the government says it wants to take up measures that will help the poor but the
4:26 pm
question is will it ease the tension. was so far i mean people believe that the measures announced by the government won't be able to work and so some of their concerns which is basically the need to tackle unemployment and poverty so has the expectations of its innocence is that good work for you should work it's true behind you wanted to see you there live in stand those two about a clear who they want to see promise you was so good at something the same to be massively reduced and they want to see a whole story going on here unemployment charcoal money here is the problem this is a country that is gone which the natural resources the freedom to form vital economic sectors are tourism migrant culture and mining and they work in the past because of the client in international markets so you are talking about a country which is cash strapped it needs revenues and the offices of those revenues the i go to the international monetary fund and the world bank for those
4:27 pm
the international monetary fund is saying that we can't keep giving your cash until you really cool the private sector into it is you know which consumes something like twelve percent of the g.d.p. of the country so the contents of government does not and we have you got many options they need to increase taxes one to three would like to lay off some of the government employees twenty thousand jobs in the near future and the same time without upsetting people the problem is that the military to the layout of the authorities thousands were converging on the streets here and that's what you might see more instability so it's a very delicate for the tunisian government and what will continue to monitor the situation with you there into this thank you. let's move to yemen there where yemeni women have gathered in sana'a to demand the group release the body of the former arsenal president and they are the last salah local reports say that who these attack the protesters which led to six women being wounded and mind abducted salah who was killed by hoofy rebels last month after he switched sides and back in

4:29 pm
which were imposed during the recent anti-government protests now several social media services were blocked to prevent activists from using them to gather crowds at least twenty two people were killed and one thousand arrested before the demonstrations wound down earlier this month instagram is restored last week but facebook and twitter are still blogs. now they are ready the oil tanker that had been burning in the east china sea since last week has sunk the tanker was carrying nearly one million barrels of oil when it collided with a cargo ship into brown has more from beijing. well according to chinese state controlled television the senshi sank at around noon local time on sunday before it went down there was a large explosion and also a large plume of smoke more than a thousand meters high these pictures were recorded by china's coast guard now the senshi was involved in a collision with a hong kong registered freighter the crew of that freighter all survived all twenty one crew members sadly the crew of the century were less fortunate so far only
4:30 pm
three bodies have been recovered the senshi was carrying a cargo of one hundred thirty six thousand tons of ultra light crude oil known as condensate what concerns groups like greenpeace is how much of that crude could potentially leak over the coming days weeks or months we know that some of the oil has been burned off but not all of it now this vessel has gone down in waters that are part of japan's economic zone so presumably japanese authorities will now be investigating to see how much of their waters have now been contaminated because of course fishermen in that area depend on those waters for their livelihood well efforts are underway to recover a plane which skidded off the runway at an airport in turkey this turned out. that credibly there were no serious injuries among the one hundred sixty two passengers on board the pegasus airlines flight the boeing seven three seven jet came with
4:31 pm
meters of the shoreline in tribes on in the northeast the airport has been closed while authorities try to work out what actually caused the accident. well some of the weather has. had a storebought storm even just a few weeks ago because we very similar that's why another storm is displaying some of the same characteristics they take a look at the satellite picture and we can see what's going on here is madagascar then and it's this east coast saw just about a week ago now if we run the satellite sequence we can see that within this blob of cloud to the east we've got this rotating system here and that is a slowly developing storm and it is moving very slowly as well at the moment is only moving at around seven kilometers per hour so very slowly and that's going to be one of the main problems from this storm because of a storm sticks around for longer than that means it can give you heavy rain for longer and competently give you more in the way of flooding and landslides so this storm then the idea is that it's working its way steadily towards the west but only
4:32 pm
slowly at the moment and i think does so it's got very warm seas and the atmosphere is very conducive to more development so it looks like it strengthening and we're expecting it to get very close to the islands of marriages there and to larry union and we are actually expecting almost a direct hit on one or both of the island and when it gets to larry you know we're expecting the sustained winds to be around one hundred fifty kilometers per hour of course winds gusting a little bit higher than that landfall here is expected on thursday to go between now and then the storm is just going to be under around giving heavy rain across much of the region so. well still ahead hill the al-jazeera news widespread vaccination efforts are underway to prevent the spread of cholera throughout zambia . kicks off the african nations championships with a wave action from the match coming up just after the for.

4:38 pm
initial contact with all the fighters in the forest of the military that thing of course it's very difficult to independently verify some of the information about also spoken to people in beni who told us that yesterday they've been hearing explosions and gunshots as well now back to your question this is a group that has its roots in western uganda where it was started in the ninety's to. what a very very vague islamic ideology right now it's not even clear what the group is fighting for anymore it was rooted it was uprooted from uganda and in the our thief stealing the ninety's and has caused massive devastation in beni and areas around penny so a lot of people in beni hoping that this operation is going to be a success it's considered one of the most dangerous rebel groups in the r.c.n.
4:39 pm
people in beni thing that is they hope that this is going to be a success because they've seen previous offensives against the group field so he'll be one of the stories that we worry develop for the authorities where you are is a scholar at the demi consulting which now seems to really increase to the death toll where this is what the news that we're getting. serious problem serious health implications from those rains as well so here you're very right here in kinshasa for example during his reign and. last week by people killed in the beginning of last thousand more than a thousand people really have been killed by color this is an outbreak that now has now affected most of the country and a lot of doctors that we've been speaking to are very worried that the situation could only get worse in this rainy season here the story we did. it's hard
