a funeral ten for fifteen year old boy who actually received a bullet in his head while trying to save his friend who had received a bullet in his leg but if you ask anyone they say that they paid a heavy price they wouldn't expecting such a retaliation from israel but they will continue going on today's approach as they will continue to sit in along the border many people actually everyone tells you we have no other choice at this point we want freedom we want to live in dignity and some people will tell you we are living in an area you don't even feel that we are part of this planet and so i think there is this belief among many of the people i spoke to that there is nothing to lose at this stage they know to risk they've seen it they've lived it but they will continue because that's the only way for them to become visible to the entire planet will turn out from all the

serious stuff teka who's in west jerusalem. all in the name of security that is how israel is justifying what many are calling an excessive use of force the general staff saying that this wasn't just a normal protest this was an attempt by thousands to breach the border fence with israel also saying that ten of those killed were members of what israel calls terrorist organizations five of the being from hamas but of course many of the videos that have emerged show unarmed protesters running away from that border fence and being shot so it is a very difficult situation certainly it is unprecedented having seen so many people tens of thousands of civilians close to the border with gaza the army had said ahead of this protest that it would respond with force it would open fire at anyone approaching the border fence now while i think two messages being sent here by the army one to the people of israel it is of course possible holiday here that it will

keep them safe and to to the people of gaza to the palestinians tens of thousands of civilians who came out to protest land grab or really their great frustrations of the occupation to think twice about doing it again by schafer all about is the editor in chief a plus nine seven two magazine he says the israeli army predicted that there would be present palestinian casualties we have reports and that there is enough of the protests in a general for war in the government in order to stop the protesters from reaching the sense there will be. and there they started painted as as this violent event before it even happened. playing one hundred or so snipers and hitting it as it was that live from us that which in those early discourse means a terrorist. but i think the thing to remember is that there is no there is no legitimate palestinian protest in the eyes of the israeli army and it's really a government of the west bank and gaza so it was very predictable that they would

respond this way unfortunately with so many casualties we talked to the brits and one of the organizers after the protest on friday asked if they were continually said we don't have any other choice but living under siege for refugees for seven years and the same reasons that brought them to. have this protest in the first but it's. make them want to continue as planned through not only on existing well the violence on the israeli side can tell you i can't imagine there have been any. less violent responses in the coming weeks although the protests could be smaller in the weeks before. syrian state media says that fighters are withdrawing from the last rebel held area in eastern guta wounded fighters and civilians support allowed to leave the city of duma to go to province but a wider deal for a full surrender in duma is still being negotiated government forces are surrounding the area which is home to tens of thousands of people. a large fire and

a lot of safety and security negligence and this has led to a huge spread of fire all over the place. the internationally recognized government of yemen is blaming the rebels not hold the port it says the criminals behind this fire should be punished yemen is one of the world's poorest countries. the three year war between iran backed with the rebels and the saudi backed yemeni government in exile has left more than ten thousand people dead there are also outbreaks of cholera and diptheria. this warehouse fire is a further setback for those trying to help civilians in what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis culture dirge on al-jazeera the governor rushes central cannot overreach and has resigned over the shopping center father killed more than sixty people last week and i have said that it was the right conscious and only true decision and investigation found that fire exits at

the moment youth unemployment stands at around twenty eight percent will join a piece of challenges such as unemployment poverty crime hiv and aids alcohol and drug abuse amongst others. therefore one of my top priorities as a president of this country will be george just the problem of unemployment especially among the young people who constitute the majority of our population don't know dressy kalau was one of those listening to that speech has been jobless for three years and hopes the president will leave up to his words negative my expectation is that he will improve government efficiency in order to create job opportunities for the youth i hope we will improve social services to deal with implement some opposition members of parliaments keep the event partly because of a corruption scandal that involves the national petroleum find something that is rare in botswana those who did attend say they need to keep the president and his

government on asked we feel that we are going to continue playing our overside will continue to seek more clarity from the president in terms of the way forward in terms of the how part of it how he intends to create employment because this country has been experiencing what has been termed a jobless growth has eighteen months to assad his authority within the ruling democratic party before national elections in october next year may be one that the new president you. are waking up from home and that he had promised. he was very. common eradication of the. areas the people next baghdad president might. very much give in line with that but they are. my d.s. is going to resign as well in the last ten years his predecessor has overseen

a difficult three months of issues are hoping that the turnout will be high to give legitimacy to the process. when president on his bike arrived to see success or there was hardly anyone queuing to vote those who did left long before. the low turnout was not lost on the process. my. only concern. at the runoff is. the voter turnout that seems to. be no other than what we experience under several we do hope with all the gains we have made it is incumbent on the candidates to accept the outcome of the elections this is what some say is partly responsible for some voters staying away especially in more rural areas heavily armed soldiers at polling stations we

have high presence of security outfits is stunning number of intimidation and all of that and citizen. i mean in so enthusiastic in terms of how the process is djibril kamar lives close to why the president voted but he's not keen on voting. where is a month for the five now. i can see not no i'm not in the utan i'm on no. drugs i can boast of anything know i'm skinny and not enough jobs and there are thousands who think that way the recess narrowed to two candidates after the first round failed to produce a clear winner the voters must choose between a former military ruler and a form a government minister they both represent parties that have dominated politics and seven year old voters who turned up mostly young and are eager to change the way things are done here for those who chose to participate like this first time voter

they simply want their voices heard i was a change in the educational system because it will be it's been very hard. we need an improvement election officials say results could be out in a few days but we have a succeed this man will have to find a way to unite said in the audience polarized by the election. as well as addressing the critical needs of the people with the grease al-jazeera frito. we're going to weather update thanks to our guests here and then the u.s. and south korea kick off the bar just for you but the triacs story on one small delay. was living in the shadow of radiation we look at the dark secrets of one of russia's most polluted rivers.

saturday. pope francis is used his annual easter message to call for peace in the middle east saying that the conflict does not spare the defenseless the head of the catholic church addressed programs that some pieces square in vatican city as christians around the world celebrate easter the pontiff touched on conflicts in the region and praised those helping marginalized people. we beseech fruits of reconciliation for the holy land which also experiences in these days the wounds of ongoing conflict that you not spare the defenseless for yemen and for the entire middle east so that dialogue and mutual respect may prevail over division and violence the u.s. and south korea have resumed joint military drills after a pause during the winter olympics nearly twelve thousand u.s. troops and three hundred thousand south korean soldiers are holding the largest annual exercises between the two nations kathy novak reports from seoul. these

annual joint military drills usually take place earlier in the year but they were delayed so as not to coincide with the winter olympics and paralympics that were taking place here in south korea north korea usually react angrily to drills like this calling them a rehearsal for an invasion even though the u.s. and south korea say they are defensive in nature but of course lately there has been a more peaceful atmosphere here on the korean peninsula and in light of that it seems that these drills are likely to be more low key the scale will be the same as in previous years but instead of running for two months they are expected to run for one month of course that is a time when will there is a lead up to a summit meeting between the leaders of north and south korea and plans for a possible meeting between the leader of north korea kim jong un and the u.s. president donald trump so another sign of a more cooperative atmosphere between the two koreas and indeed between the u.s.

and north korea with shorter drills planned and we're not likely to see what's known as strategic assets including nuclear powered aircraft carriers this time around at the same time in another sign of the cooperation between the two koreas there is an art troupe visiting north korea for a series of performances. a river in russia that's hundreds of thousands of people is considered to be one of the world's most polluted and it's spreading radioactive contamination all the way to the arctic ocean now to serious china how reports now from russia's chelyabinsk region. is no ordinary river considered one of the most polluted waterways on earth the stench of open sewage rises from beneath the ice. it has a dark history the tensions waters also contain radiation levels up to eighty times higher than normal that's thanks to the my ak nuclear plant seventeen hundred

poor farmers in the united states beginning to feel the impact of a new twenty five percent tariff on their products proposed by china it's true that american pork prices down the new tariffs were sparked by president trump's plan to impose duties on sixty billion dollars worth of chinese goods john hendren reports . china's newly planted irish suv set off a pork panic in the american farm belt but just the economically you know no matter what it is everything with a movie affects the bottom of the chair of sitting pig farms across the united states or an answering shot in a trade war retaliation for president donald trump's new tariffs on steel and other chinese goods fairport producers are no longer competitive on the world market so if they come then to china ours are now more expensive therefore they would pick their port from some other place because china is the second largest customer for american farm products after canada the u.s.

agricultural department says farm incomes this year are expected to slide to their lowest levels since two thousand and six farmers have been big supporters of president trump in large part because he's been cutting regulations on their industry so when the chinese picked a target that would hurt trump and his supporters most they knew exactly where to aim china has been selected in products to inflict maximum sort of economic and political pain on the united states is not so much of the ten as are eager to harm american farmers on the other hand they're not going to just take shots from the trump administration without a response ironically one of the companies that would be most harmed by the tariffs north carolina based smithfield is actually owned by a chinese company proof that china is willing to take losses to wage a trade war it says the u.s. has set off john hendren al-jazeera chicago there's been another day of protests to the u.s. city of sacramento against the shooting of an unarmed black man by police. i fear
