they're warm welcome to the program at least eleven palestinians have been killed in gaza many of them by israeli gunfire after thousands marched to the border with israel they were taking part in protests on the forty second anniversary of land day which marks the one nine hundred seventy six killing of six palestinians by israeli forces have been protesting against a land grab by israel's government the protesters have been gathering in five different places along the border positioned about seven hundred meters away from the fence the palestinian health ministry says more than one thousand three hundred others were injured after israeli forces fired live ammunition into the crowds using tear gas to push them back. you know you would. today's a turning point for our people in our history of national struggle and fight on our way to freedom in return today our people from the whole nation from gaza from the west bank from the occupied lands in one nine hundred forty eight and from other

countries are launching this new phase. i want to say our correspondent. has the latest now from gaza israel. what we had the hill has seen. the number of dead and injured may increase as the rallies continue and as these weighty forces crack down on the protesters and using different methods including live ammunition the overall picture here is about two main things first the waves of people coming in since early morning in big numbers to the great march called return this road leads to the separation wall with the gaza strip it's where clashes have taken place and where israeli snipers deployed along side the wall used live ammunition and also you can see here tents named after the palestinian villages and towns from which the palestinians have been forced to leave since nine hundred forty eight to gaza. the second main part of the picture is this other area the

western area which was supposed to be according to the organizers a massive place for the demonstrators to gather but it seems the number of protesters is higher than expected by the organizers and this is the reason why the demonstrators want to the separation wall here we saw different activities like speeches by leaders from the palestinian factions in addition to some traditional celebration of the palestinian factions leaders have supported the march and confirm the right of return for the palestinian refugees for the palestinians here it's a historic day and the numbers show how keen the palestinians are when it comes to the question of the right of return and they want to make their voices heard through the international community as well the israeli military is defending its use of force no clear call our thoughts our heda we will never shoot one bullet against anyone who stays away from the security wall we have wanted to join in the last few days that everyone who tries to violate the israeli sovereignty or to

infiltrate the israeli territories and put himself and his life in danger all the participants in the gaza strip a say but how mr. the lives of women and children in danger when it sent them to the security wall to infiltrate israel and still male borders or palestine has been slowly disappearing from the map since the first world war this is what it looked like a hundred years ago when jews only made up three percent of the population that pictures changed dramatically palestinians are now only allowed limited self-will in small pockets under israeli military occupation which is the longest modern history funerals been held for a palestinian farmer killed while tending to his own there the gaza border twenty seven year old omar some more was collecting par stay in a field when he was hit by israeli artillery fire hundreds of mourners carried his body through the streets of hong yunus the israeli military said the farmer and another man who was injured were acting suspiciously as they approached

a fence along the gaza strip. mall a little man that looks a little every day he goes picking powerfully from two am to no name and he has been working there for six or seven years nothing happened to him with the truth machine he left work and return to what happened at this time i don't know. said when rebel fighters in eastern denying reports of a deal allowing them to leave the town of duma the russian and syrian government media have been reporting an agreement with rebels opposition fighters have surrendered the rest of it in the past month as government forces tighten their grip on their own crave mama junction has the latest from beirut. another example of just how complicated things remain on the ground in syria the russian military has stated that it reached a deal with

a rebel group jaish an islam and the judicial islam had announced its intention to evacuate. which the rebel group is still holding and that they would seize control of that area but a short while after that she issued islam in fact denied those reports saying any reports stating that their group had in fact reached a deal with either the syrian government syrian pro-government forces or the russian government were patently false we spoke with the spokesperson for. he said this our position is still clear and steadfast the rejection of force displacement and the demographic change of the rest of eastern now this really isn't a change from what we've heard from jaisha this them the past several days while they are negotiating to try to reach a deal with the syrian government and the russian government they do not want their fighters to have to evacuate the area this is all coming at a time when there's

a lot of concern of course about the humanitarian impact of what is going on it's still unclear just how many civilians may be trapped in duma how they will be able to get help and of course this comes at a time when there was another deadline given there was a deadline given by the syrian government the russian government saying that it did not come to some sort of an agreement with them by saturday evening that they would go ahead and go into that area and attack that area with full force. turkey's president has rejected france's offer to mediate between uncle and kurdish and groups in syria dismissing him and well as being at his death this is president contradicted his own defense chiefs telling a rally in ohio the u.s. troops would pull out of syria very soon stephanie decker has more. the americans have long had a presence in this part of northern syria supporting the syrian democratic forces arrest e.f. in the fight against eisel but turkey views the kurdish y p g which makes up the

bulk of the s.d.f. as a terrorist organization and in the latest twist french president met with an s.d.s. delegation on thursday night in paris an offer to mediate which isn't going down well in ankara but there's dick. says that he gave guarantee of support to the y p g that france can be mediators between turkey and the s.d.f. who gave you this juji do not engage in things beyond. turkish armed forces have already taking the troll of much of the syrian province of a free in pushing out the white p.g.d. everyone has long threatened to push further east on to members where the us has military bases and all the way to the iraqi border the americans have also been monitoring the potential front line between kurdish fighters and the turkish backed syrian rebels who are nearby to complicate matters even further the u.s. commander in chief had this to say and by the way we're not going the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it

now very soon very soon we're coming now. that boast goes against what american commanders have been saying all along that the u.s. will remain in the northeastern part of syria for now to prevent the resurgence of beisel trump port even the state department of guard and i can't comment on what the president supposedly said i haven't seen and i have to refer you back to the white house. i have not seen it myself and said it i have not seen that myself ok. you don't necessarily comment or report on things that have been heard second hand and i'm not going to do that that's ok that's fine so you're not aware of any policy determination to poor to pull the us out of i am not no no the us presence in syria gives it a stake at the negotiating table as long as troops mentation their presence in the kurdish areas the war in syria is now entering a phase where russia turkey and iran are in the process of bartering for their strategic interests. the kurdish y p g currently controls around twenty percent of territory in syria the second highest area of land up to president bashar assad and

his forces turkey wants that to change it's anyone's guess how it will play out stephanie decker. u.s. president also told supporters at that rally in ohio that he might hold off on entering a trade deal with south korea until an agreements reached with north korea and denuclearization made the comment just a day after the commerce deal so it would see south korea limits and still exports to the u.s. and opening its markets to american car and factures. so we've redone it. and that's going to level the playing field on steel and cars and trucks coming into this country. and i may hold it up till after a deal is made with north korea. does everybody understand you know why you know why because it's a very strong card that i want to make sure everyone is treated fairly and we're

moving along very nicely with north korea we'll see what happens russia storing up diplomats from twenty three countries as the route calls over the poisoning of former spy here in britain the move is in retaliation for the wave of expulsions of russian officials after what the u.k. and its allies say was a nerve agent attack on surrogates kobe paul and his daughter in the city of souls where we shall answers the latest from moscow. well one after another black ambassadorial cause of the pulling up here outside the rather ornate silver gray doors of the russian foreign ministry and the ambassadors have been walking into essentially get a dressing down from the foreign ministry staff air and be told how many of their personnel has to be packing their bags to leave from what we've seen so far it seems to be broadly tit for tat in line numbers wise with the explosions that we

have heard from western countries kicking out russians over the script all of the british ambassador was told that the total number of u.k. personnel here diplomatic and consular paster eventually match by the end of the month the number of russian stuff in the u.k. this is on top of the twenty three brits that had to pack their bags and leave some days ago that was of course because the u.k. had kicked out twenty three russians what we're seeing here is this worsening of diplomatic relations tit for tat response its catalyst has been the script fair but of course there is so much else behind all this much that's gone on over the last few years with the count of russian campaign in syria with what's been going on in crimea and ukraine that has worsened relations between the west and russia of course putin and donald trump are both saying that there is room so walk back from

this of course they have to say that they don't want to go marching off to war but yes we are in a severe diplomatic crisis of the moment and it doesn't seem to be getting any better right now well we shall answer voicing there from moscow still to come this half hour as catholics around the world celebrate the signs of a thaw between china and the vatican after seventeen years when neither side can remove bots that could be running the factories. weather set fire across much of central and southern china warm sunshine for many twenty six celsius in hong kong twenty three celsius there for shanghai wet weather that very much in place over towards the southwestern corner that will ease as we go on into sunday chandu getting up to twenty three degrees celsius and

a dramatic death in any family a vacuum is created and it's passed down to each generation it's about restoration of about giving him a dignified funeral he's not here like he was it's important to heal the wounds there's never been any judicial reckoning for general franco and his death squads the killings and executions and purges continued after the war was over his victims buried in unmarked and unquiet graves. but the divisions here are still very much alive the streets of the village may now seem peaceful but the memories of the civil war that raged around them can never be forgotten there were going to go a lot of the war i distinctly remember certain things it was something to be afraid of again something we were always three fired off waiting to see what would happen gen francisco franco's final resting place is marked with a giant cross in the valley of the fallen outside madrid. many of his victims still

vet again ok stablish diplomatic relations with china i'm so excited. the pope is the symbol of catholics if you're catholic you would definitely want to see him that's why i'd be so happy if he came to china surprising views because those worshippers belong to the official catholic church which is not recognize the authority of the pope since the vatican and china sever diplomatic ties in one nine hundred fifty one but that could be about to change according to francisco c.c. an attorney an academic invited to interview the pope two years ago he says there are even discussions about the vatican of stablish ing a representative office in beijing this could happen. within the zia i would say that sue. i think it is a possibility we don't know there are of course many things up in the air but there
