russia vows to retaliate has the united states and fourteen european union nations expel its diplomats over the u.k. spy attack. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming out. saudi arabia says it shot down seven missiles fired by hoofy rebels in yemen targeting its app or it's. turnout is low and slow in egypt's presidential election where the incumbent abdel fatah sisi is certain to return to office. at least sixty four people are dead and dozens remain missing after a fire at a shopping center in siberia.

the united states and fourteen e.u. nations have expelled more than one hundred russian diplomats this is in a coordinated response to the nerve agent attack on form a double agent sergey scrip all in the united kingdom earlier this month u.s. president trump ordered sixty russian diplomats to leave including twelve attached to the united nations and he's also close the russian consulate in seattle russia says it will respond in kind what more than sixty russian officials will be kicked out of europe france germany and poland each expelling four diplomats ukraine which is not in a new member state is also taking action they are expelling thirteen russian diplomats from the country and canada and else the expulsion of four diplomats and said it was denying accreditation to three more let's be top diplomatic editor james bays who is at the united nations and as you were hearing that these

expulsions seem to span the globe what's been the reaction at the u.n. . well people of watching this very closely diplomats that i've been speaking to watching this very closely in the last couple of hours. watching what the what has been going on with regard to these expulsions this is something that will certainly i think affect russia because russia sees its permanent seat at the united nations is very important to it very strategic it's worth noting that the diplomats who are being expelled from the u.n. being accused of engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to u.s. national security now i think they're saying that rather than talking about what happened in the u.k. and in solsbury because the the u.s. is very keen not to violate the one hundred forty seven agreement it has with the united nations about diplomats being able to operate here on international soil and

james how would you gauge then the impact this will have on international diplomacy . well we've had international diplomacy pretty much stalled for the last four years in many ways since the annexation of crimea i think this is going to make things worse think about places like yemen think about places like syria the only way you can get things done is get countries around the table and in particular those two members of the u.n. security council permanent members the u.s. and russia and it's going to be much harder i think now to get them to agree on anything i can tell you in one hour's time the u.n. secretary general has his regular monthly lunch with the u.n. security council so we expect to have the u.n. secretary general the u.s. ambassador and the russian ambassador i'm sure the conversation between those two ambassadors won't be particularly called deal that's the problem that we're now

facing i think we'd like reporters of course to be a fly on the wall of that meeting all right thank you very much james days with all the latest from the united nations well let's head to the russian capital now roig chalons is there more a string of reaction forests and. actually we will wait to reestablish a connection with roy chalons their reaction so far from moscow has been that they have vowed to react in kind and to take retaliatory measures against this coordinated action that we see from europe and the us but i think we can try to speak story again he is there for us now and so we're just saying in terms of the russian reaction they have vowed retaliation but could they have ever anticipated a diplomatic crisis of this nature. yeah reciprocity that's the word that's being used by the russian foreign ministry it

basically means whatever is done to us will do back to you as well so i would expect that in the coming days we're going to see a number of tit for tat diplomatic expulsions happening the foreign minister is coming out with a list of options they're going to give that's a ready made putin and putin as the commander in chief the arbiter of russian foreign policy is basically going to make the decision about what happens no i don't think the the russians saw this level of response coming didn't think that the united kingdom would be able to put together such a long list of supportive nations around the world i mean they are western nations primarily but still there are a lot of them this came on a bad day already for russia because of the awful fire in the far east of the countries or in siberia which has killed upwards of sixty people this is further added to russia's terrible day but i think there are

a couple things worth saying one is that this will be easily spotted by the russian power structures as yet another example of anti russian sentiment in the west hysterical. russophobe pick campaign from the united kingdom which has brought in gullible friends and allies of london and also i think that if there are no further measures measures that the russian elite are really worried about such as targeting of assets in financial centers around the world like london new york and say cyprus if those don't materialize over the coming days then perhaps moscow will feel the u.s. is taking a diplomatic here but it might have got off rather lightly right now thanks very much for a challenge bring us the reaction there from the russian capital. saudi

arabia's military says it shot down seven missiles fired from yemen has the rebels say they carried out a strike it's targeting several airports saudi authorities say at least one person was killed a solid binge of aid has the latest. as the rockets rained down there were moments of panic. this is what's left of a missile fired by hutu rebels in yemen which targeted the saudi capital riyadh on sunday. and of the fragment landed on an island on a busy road. a barrel range of seven ballistic missiles were intercepted by saudi arabia's air defense multiple social media users posted videos of the u.s. patriot missile defense system used by the saudi military. at least one egyptian resident was killed in the attack as forensic teams collect evidence the saudi coalition is again blaming iran for arming the hooty fighters the cuts force who have operatives on the ground in yemen have helped the who are these and the yemeni

armed forces to basically augment the capability of the missiles in order to make them more capable and there were these say you know if you don't negotiate with us we will continue with more sophisticated weaponry more missiles being fired and there will be more dead on the side of saudi arabia which is something they can sustain these types of attacks continue despite the saudi coalition announcing in two thousand and fifteen that most of the route is ballistic arsenal was destroyed the objective is to continue to look for this kind of missiles targeted destroyed. we believe that we destroy most of these abilities it's been three years since the coalition launched a military campaign to fight the hoodies in support of yemen's government hundreds of thousands have gathered in the capital sanaa just before the missile attack the hoody leader talked about his group's capabilities we. will use a long range drawings which have excellent military capabilities we will activate

the military institutions in an unprecedented way and open up more opportunities to recruit the children and men of our people to fight. the hutus of been cheering images of the destruction caused by saudi attacks in yemen they say their missiles are acts of revenge. these ten thousand people on all sides of been killed in yemen and millions more suffer in what the u.n. calls the worst humanitarian crisis in recent years and through all this the war continues some of the job aid out there. and ship shows have begun voting for a new president in the country's three day election but the turnout has been low income president abdel fatah sisi is expected to win a second term after most of his challenges withdrew. ports. a crucial moment for the band seeking reelection president i will for to see once

a comfortable win and the huge turnout among the nearly sixty million eligible voters his supporters see him as the only man capable of leading egypt at a time when the nation faces many challenges and i'm an empty. i couldn't sleep from all the joy just to come here and say yes to my motherland egypt i came here to say yes to stability yes to development i came here to say yes to our military and. i will vote for sisi for the sake of the coming phase and i have a bachelor's degree in business administration and i feel like i have not given what i deserve and i feel that this coming phase will offer great things but the election has been widely seen as a false potential rivals to c.c. have either been jailed or dropped out of the race after a campaign of intimidation the only candidate allowed to run is

a staunch supporter of president sisi. whose leader of the centrist party told the media he doesn't want to challenge the authority of c.c. for critics. more than a candidate whose role is to give the impression of a legitimate election i don't think there's any question that it's a sham i'm not aware of any serious difference of opinion among you know political scientists or human rights groups or analysts i think the point of the election is to demonstrate cc's power and his popularity this is why the government is pushing so hard for a high turnout if there's a low turnout it will be bad optics for the regime. president sisi will likely secure a second term but the general turned politician faces botting discontent over the economy and armed groups operating in the sinai peninsula the vote will last for

two war days a strong turnout could indicate a growing trust in cc's leadership has about al-jazeera a senior political analyst marwan bashar joins us in the studio and some are one thing that everyone is watching from this election it's very important to see see is the turnout from it one of the expectations and what are we seeing right now. actually i just read. in an egyptian website the election commission is boasting that in these six districts including cairo and sinai that there is a high turnout i doubt it just like most other media outlets have been covering the day doubt that seems like there's an attempt at coercing or at least. enticing people to go out and vote but that's not working out very well and it's for a simple reason of course when we talk about. independent fair and free elections

we expect them to be independent and they are not because the election commission is in the pocket of the government we expect them to be fair and they are not because all the other candidates were either imprisoned or intimidated not to run and we expected to be free and it's not because most people are actually pushed into voting for sisi or not to vote at all and last month not least for the elections to be elections meaning to have other people actually competing well in this election there's virtually no one because i was we all know by now that most of the most of almost as not much of a candidate and hence we have a referendum that's not independent the snot fair and that's not free it's difficult to gauge that's the extent of the accuracy of it because of the lack of transparency around elections of the political system in egypt but it does seem as though president sisi does have the support of part of the population yes of course

but is that part of the population ten percent or twenty percent. but there is very very few reports that actually give us a certain popularity of this probe of this president for example like putin putin in russia when they say he has eighty percent popular popular to rate they actually say that this guy despite all his winning and dealing is actually popular in his country sisi is popular among a certain segment of the population but after so many years of stagnation unemployment poverty and soul so forth he's definitely not that popular and that's why he needs to cheat his way into power because if he actually run against the likes of the number two for example or others who were ready to be candidates then he would have been in trouble and that's why despite his. i legation that he had

played no role in it but he really made sure that no other occurred there will kind of it can run all right thank you senior political analyst ron bashara still ahead for you on the program the israeli supreme court demands deportation details from more than forty thousand african refugees. and we'll tell you why one of australia's most popular and idolized sports has come in for such a battering. welcome back the weather across much of southern and eastern china is fine at the moment away from shanghai down to hong kong there plenty of sunshine and quite decent temperatures to different picture further towards the south and west with more in the way of rain and this area of rain is like the push into northern parts of vietnam as we head on through into wednesday fine for the east for yangon

trapped in a war zone went unheeded already there was a shortage of aid and medications because of a government imposed siege on the opposition area lesser from the local one unfortunately the cases we received are very critical we also have cases of malnutrition as well as extremely sick people who couldn't receive proper treatment because of the lack of medications as a result of the siege more than ten thousand people have been displaced and not all are fighters some didn't want to risk arrest or be forced to join the army they left with whatever they could carry. we left our homes behind everything has been destroyed we left our history. we left behind because we go to a place of constant since. eastern huta has been under the control of the opposition since two thousand and thirteen not long after the government besieged the enclave. it wasn't only under siege came under fire for years it was always an

important military objective for the government being so close to the capital but the pro-government alliance was busy fighting on many fronts and it was always just a question of time when it would turn its attention to the rebel stronghold. it has been one tragedy after another for syrians courted what seems to be an endless conflict. we lived in bomb close our lives were in danger we left after the international community let us don't go. it has become what some describe as a dumping ground over the years tens of thousands of rebels and their families who surrender territory to the government were sent here and there is little sign that they just like those who have been recently displaced will ever return to their homes to. beirut. israeli police are questioning prime minister benjamin netanyahu over one of several corruption cases that could threaten his political future israeli media reports say the questioning relates to netanyahu his dealings with

israel's biggest telecommunications company is accused of giving back regulatory benefits in exchange for favorable coverage on its news website well in all the developments the israeli government's been given until monday to provide more details of its plan to deport more than forty thousand african refugees supremes court set a deadline after suspending the program at a hearing earlier this month migrants an asylum seekers were offered a choice earlier this year deportation or jail are a false reports from west jerusalem. among the inmates of saharan imprisoned deep in israel's southern negev desert are dozens of eritrean and sudanese men who have in the narrowest sense chosen to be there instead of deportation to a third country known to be either uganda or wondered what are her son says the inmates have made the right choice he accepted a deal to leave israel for uganda in twenty fourteen but instead found himself delivered to sudan the country he'd fled now he's made it to uganda away studying

law but says direct deportees from israel have their documents taken at the airport leaving them unprotected no one is willing to fight or die for this because rates in israel there's at least there's activists and there's a lot of resistance. israel's government is trying to remove forty thousand africans mostly sudanese and eritrean who entered from egypt before a border fence was completed four years ago the first phase of the detention or deportation policy targets single men but for now it's been frozen pending a decision by israel supreme court on monday the train was running very quickly we at least stopped that seagull coco v.v. is one of those behind the legal petition against the policy she doubts the government has a defensible deal with rwanda to show the court and hopes the freeze will continue but i think it's going to be very hard for the supreme court now to turn this around and say without an agreement without passing an agreement this can go on israel's prime minister though is determined to press ahead last week he said

unrestricted african migration would be more dangerous than terrorism is on argued that israel has the right to expel people he calls illegal infiltrators where somebody is granted asylum status he can be expelled but not to the country where he cannot be returned in this case but if another country is willing to accept him it's perfectly legal under international law. it's an argument that holds little weight for to. who fled forced service in the eritrean army but how do. asylum claim rejected in israel he says neither rwanda nor uganda offers the safe haven that should be his right under international law lets so i do what i did but if it does to stay in a prison to stay in a prison i prefer to stay in a body that instead of risk of death. i don't give up also i don't lose hope i don't give up hope. in the short term such hopes depend on the next decision made by israel supremes court but more broadly they rely on the outcome of

should be. in an international. stand down stay standard. but then again every team cheats just got caught not others alosi all together but i think it's sort of. this trillion sports commission said the players involved should have immediately been sent home and that there needs to be an overhaul of the culture within the sport we think that one of the good things that's come out of this situation is that the public has still a very strong message to the leadership of the sport about where they brought along and what they consider to be totally inappropriate standards of behavior and strong athletes in the green and gold. to conduct themselves with the utmost integrity as the cricket australia investigation plays out here in the wake there are doubts about how much you can salvage the reputation of one of the most popular and idolized sports in the country. as more and everything we're covering the program
