6:02 pm
we are. in with the news good lives on and streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al jazeera dot com they will be no inquiry into the killing of palestinian protesters by israeli soldiers on friday defense minister avigdor lieberman has rejected calls for probe saying instead that the soldiers should receive a medal this comes as video emerged of a demonstrator being shot as he ran away from israel's border with gaza it was filmed as thousands of people began their protest against decades of land grabs by israel the israeli military says the man was a member of the armed wing of hamas his family has deny the claim and say he was unarmed and shot in the back home he joins us now from gaza near the border with israel so many people killed and injured hard on
6:03 pm
a you've been to the hospital tell us what you saw then what you heard. well yes this is actually the third hospital revisit today and really wherever we go what we hear from doctors that do are pretty bad the scenes that a lot of high caliber bullets were used by the snipers against these protesters most of the who's happened in the lower part of the body needs thighs and lower legs but you also have people who have received bullets in their heads now i spoke to several of these rooted of many of them say that they were standing there yes they were approaching the border fence carrying the palestinian flag one girl told me that she did throw a few stones at the soldiers she can see them but she didn't never imagine the retaliation that would come from across that border fence we also saw another young
6:04 pm
man who also had received a gaping hole in his leg the doctor said that it was it is was an extremely difficult situation because his boat then was completely brittle everything inside was destroyed and the doctors were saying we don't have the means to treat such wounds such big who they say they hadn't seen that in the past and they say that they don't have the medicine they don't have the the equipment and some of the doctors say that we also don't have the expertise for all of that one doctor was telling me that there were dozens of amputation because simply that's what they had to do because there was no way out of that to save the life of these wounded about eight hundred and five according to the health officials here where injured by live i mean issues are extremely high tall and hala i'm just wondering what sort of impact this news is having on the other protesters knowing that they too could get
6:05 pm
injured like this if they protest again is it going to dampen their enthusiasm. well i was speaking to one of these wounded today and her sister just interrupted the conversation saying that despite what happened to her younger sister she was going to go back on friday to debt border fence she said we have been peaceful you cannot say that a few stones thrown from one hundred meters away if not more are really harming disorders in any shape or form and he said this is the last resort we have to have our voices heard for the world not to forget that gaza exists now or what we have seen so far certainly from this side with the organizers which are mixture of the political faction and also represented as of the civil society is that they making sure that everything remains as peaceful as possible in the sense they're making sure they didn't want any protesters to have any weapons with them or to have her
6:06 pm
but chilled bombs at israeli soldiers now israel says that has happened indeed but we haven't seen any indication or any proof of but of what israel alleges they will go back we will see if the numbers will be the same as the last friday but certainly you have an impression really here that they want to keep it as peaceful as possible and many of the people i spoke to pointed out to the fact that there have been no rockets launched all words israel in the aftermath of that friday were did the door was so high for people in gaza and they say that that's an indication that actually people in gaza including the political factions are trying to find a new way to express their opinion or to make their voices heard and they're trying to keep this from their side as peaceful as possible but i think you will have a big showing at least on friday thanks for that how to let's go to stephanie
6:07 pm
decker in west jerusalem you were listening to that stephanie i mean gaping holes in their leg somebody shot in the back said. when teen people killed before put this question to you have just somebody been in touch with me from somalia say where is the u n in all of this not only the un stephanie those behind these atrocities are going to get away with this if anything they'll get a medal. well this is the thing that i think this is why you see the element of frustration is hoda a say exist two million people living under siege in gaza and i think it's fair to say that the world has forgotten them including the arab world which used to be a champion for the palestinian cause these people feel completely abandoned by their leaders and by everyone else now talking about you know accountability of the israeli army well israel will tell you this is all about security the language coming from here saying that this was not an ordinary protest this was an attempt
6:08 pm
by thousands to breach the security fence the authorities here the army had been saying in preparations to this planned event on friday that they would fire at people approaching the border fence they are saying that ten of those killed were members of what israel calls terrorist organizations but again jay we've been looking at those pictures of the videos in an age of social media when things are different and you see on the on protesters running away being shot out left right and center so when it comes to accountability this is not the first time the israeli army has been accused of using excessive force and it won't be the last time israel's point is always a security security security but i think what hoda was saying there it is a very instant thing i've certainly never seen this amount of people of civilians protesting at along the border israel cannot simply open fire on these people even though they say a lot of them are members of political organizations circle terrorist organizations but you have as
6:09 pm
a fact tens of thousands of civilians now wanting to make their words heard i think this is a real new challenge of how the army will deal with this going forward how the leadership is going to deal with the army and as you say it's all about security security security what are the public feel about this do they support what's happening. well the israeli public supports its army the army to understand this jane you know there is construction conscription here so any son daughter mother father has served in the military pretty much as a rule you do not criticize the military yes many times events happen where things are called into question as to the conduct of a soldier or particular brigade etc however there is a real unison when it comes to criticizing the army and again because you have the stress of security because of the situation that we that this conflict find itself in i mean just look at the name of the israeli army it's the israeli defense forces this is the language this is the language that you've been hearing that this was
6:10 pm
a real security threat to israel's security and this is why the army responded with such force which is why you have the israeli prime minister applauding them which is why you have the defense minister calling those are calling for an for an independent investigation hypocrites it is that cunt language they will always stand behind their army but i think you cannot continue to use this kind of force against unarmed protesters there's a lot of media coverage on this jane there are even questions in the israeli media about whether the army is using too much force it is a different kind of movement these are civilians protesting after years of blockade so i think i'll be very interested to see whether this momentum continues and how the army is going to deal with it thanks for that stephanie take a people have been in touch with us from qatar what's one to the u.s. and somalia can just before we get into this expose asking weighs the humanity the sort of question and also what's behind the protests were posed to a panel by my colleague sami is a done on inside story so you can watch that program of inside story by going to
6:11 pm
our programs page and you can find it there you can also get in touch by send your comments to any of our online platforms you can tweet us at a.j. english or on facebook at facebook dot com slash a.j. newsgroup you can also send us a whatsapp message at plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine and as always you can use the hash tag a.j. news good we've been getting some great views and discussions online on this topic . the u.s. and south korea have resumed joint military drills they were supposed to be held in february but were delayed to avoid clashing with the winter olympics in the south these drills will be shorter than previous ones usually they go on for about two months but not this time the exercises will last only one month more than eleven thousand americans and two hundred ninety thousand koreans are involved in the drills but there will be less strategic weapons like nuclear powered aircraft carriers or submarines in the past their presence has angered the north and while
6:12 pm
kyung is usually very critical about the joint military drills so far it has been relatively quiet and what is a little unusual is what's happening on the same day the drills kick off a historic concert has been held as a peace gesture ahead of this month's into a korean summit one hundred sixty south korean singers including the popular cape pop girl band red velvet will perform in north korea for the first time in more than a decade kathy novak has more 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
6:13 pm
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're expected to run for one month of course that is a time when we 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 which is why it's joins us on skype from new york he is the director of the center for political and military analysis at the hudson
6:14 pm
institute a think tank very good to have you with us what are we seeing here we've got a cultural exchange the two sides are a getting close to south korea and north korea and yet we have this military drill drill still going ahead still quite an impressive one to. right i mean this is what we're seen as a longstanding series of military kills has ignited states and south korea and undertaking for many years there are basically two types of trails those that large climate in which there are several hundred thousand south korean troops involved is to test a series of actual military operation so that would be for example to send in a territory hunting down a naval asset protection against air strikes and then there's a computer simulation about how we how the u.s. might be able to bring troops into a region and the fact that this is the crane in the midst of
6:15 pm
a cream to the peace initiative makes it interesting people have to see for some time still the north koreans react very strongly in exercises other times not and the u.s. forces involved an air raid somewhat all of this year it is actually much shorter and a lower level as your of your you said in the package lower level of stairs are strategic weapons big promise ones like ours a lot earlier absent are there we still have tens of thousands of u.s. troops is the message to kim jong un look we're going to keep the pressure on you the sanctions whatever it takes until you come onboard until we have a civilized dialogue. right i mean that the president trump said and i would think even if it was our president clinton we would still go ahead with these exercises i mean the fundamental situation hasn't changed yet we still have divided. the military up north lister disowns her changing weapon is so these
6:16 pm
are the exercises designed to church in north korea reassure allies such as south korea and japan and also influence china russia and other players to think about you know what kind of path we could going forward i mean i think the u.s. wants to make the air that's the end game has to be a piece of whole korea without nuclear weapons and instilled at it kurz these exercises will continue at this high level talks is a critical juncture hasn't been as angle he hasn't expressed any and good all this time unlike previous is due from coop who gets the message what role is he playing . right according to the south koreans he told them that he would make a big deal these exercises and i think we've all seen that that the north korean leader is not a madman he's actually capable of rational action toning down threats i mean currently he's launched
6:17 pm
a series of peace initiatives are at least overtures to the south to the united states and i think this is a good sign because normally these kind of negotiations and all a bit of pop aeration a bit of conflict so we end up with a europe without intermediate range missiles under reagan but that didn't occur until the u.s. brought in some of its own missiles and i got the russians and us to make that case and i think that's the same scenario here that if we have to sit down down these exercises would be possible but it's got to be and the contents of a lower trust in that are not as good to talk to richard roth thank you very much the. thank you want this cultural exchange the games the military might really is a a balancing game at play you can go to our website and you can look at the page on south korea can see how the tone has changed regarding these military exercises not as much outrage when you go through all of these stories this year. what's one a as a new president ma great samus easy took over from income who stepped on saturday
6:18 pm
after ten years in power comma had served his two term limit the c.c. isn't new to politics he was the country's vice president he takes office almost a year and a half before elections which are said for twenty nineteen that mrs he promised to uphold the constitution tackle youth unemployment and improve treatment and prevention of hiv aids it is of the deep sense of humility that i stepped the immense responsibility that has just been bestowed on me and the trust and confidence there by a post as the fifth president of our public a nation of laws while in carrying out my duties might such a touchstone show demean the oath i just made to uphold the constitution the rule of law and maintenance of national unity good governance peace and prosperity catherine sawyer was at the swearing in festivities in the capital.
6:19 pm
let's be both great. comic this ceremony which is very much in line with the constitution the president former president. back that's to step down as he did and to hand over power to the president who is now. eighteen months to the general. public. gets to the president and so. this is an opportunity for my c.c. . to the. strength his presidency to show the people of books and he tried to. eat up his own right to.
6:20 pm
sue for my presence. so people really hope. this while. and you've already. heard. it's going to be interesting to see what happens. next wednesday when he gets. his vice president. but so on it has been described as an african success story one of the poorest countries in the one nine hundred seventy s. it's enjoyed strong economic growth and a stable multi-party system it's one of the world's largest producers of diamonds but economists are concerned about its dependence on wealth from the industry the new president has said he wants to diversify our trade economy tipped into recession into a fifteen and unemployment stands at around twenty percent h.l.v.
6:21 pm
is also a major problem has a say. second highest prevalence in the world with an estimated seventeen percent of the population infected we profiled the country's campaign against corruption during one of our shows and favorites ranked the least corrupt in africa according to transparency international news group social media producer harding laid out what the country's doing from fines to prison time to hotline number you can watch how does put so on a fight corruption in africa at al jazeera dot com just search for puts want to add account such as c.e.o. of rich management investment advisor and political analyst of the sub-saharan african region who joins us from nairobi always good to see you at econ what do you think of this move of milk which you would say must c.c. and what he's been saying about diamonds for a start and diversifying there why would he will from such a cash car. so firstly i think you know the optics are
6:22 pm
resonating across the continent it's a relatively smooth and. it's the end of two terms of a time when many african leaders have extended that into infinity think it's powerful message coming out of this small country of just two million people and a very effective need good looking and over with respect to diamonds obviously i think we've got to give credit where credit's due like many african countries botswana had resources in that case it was diamonds but really one one has to admit that they've handled that resource dividend the most effectively of any african country i can think of bad examples equitorial guinea angola but botswana has stood out as an outlier think what the incoming president was speaking about was one the need to diversify they haven't been successful it's a diamond it's a tourism it's
6:23 pm
a light stock economy they need to look at other options i'm not sure what those options are really going to be and i think aids of course the numbers have been coming down the percentage was in the high thirty's if i recall not too long ago that brought it down below twenty percent so it's an improving story but overall i think in the in the in a battle of fifty five states but swine that has had a very clear voice a clear moral compass at times they've dressed down the rest of the african countries but what we're seeing here is a really positive african story and i'm sure president missy she will carry on this strong this stronger track record and let's talk about this transition this handing over of power and i'm just going to read you a couple of comments here to read them but cite us as we thankful for our leaders for such a smooth transition people in botswana says why is there a fixation with african democracy in moto raman says people are very happy and
6:24 pm
a good decision by the prez. and to step down on this is part of the constitution he steps down before the next election just wondering what sort of impact grooming the vice president for president will have on the opposition and is this something that investors like to see. so the opposition made a lot of headway at the last election and math shows that if they joined up and consolidated into one group they'd have a real chance of power so i think what we're seeing here is the ruling party saying to themselves look we need to get we have to have a new leader we need to give them a clear off ramp here is more than twelve months to get in position and to win this election for us i think on balance my money would be on the botswana development party continuing its leadership of botswana i think you know they need this of the hand you haven't got those big problems when leaders take so long to leave by the
6:25 pm
time they leave their entire. you know their entire track record is diluted here we've got somebody who's done extremely well president come he sees shown strong leadership a little bit brusque little bit shot military type of fellow didn't get on with people said things how he felt them upset many even trump you responded very forthrightly to and from what i can hear from a c c i think he's going to belittle little bit more genial and maybe you know bit more powerful at the ballot box i suspect that he got such a thank you very much for the comments are coming in thick and fast and just wonder what the reaction has been like from your point of view a lot of reaction from africa jane and we'll get to messy she's name is trending in botswana along with the hash tag my c.c. inauguration and the city didn't take long to switch to this new role has touch of iowa says it all with the official title as the president of the republic of
6:26 pm
botswana and many are excited about the new president but don't see the former president stepping down as such a big deal they say it's expected especially since the constitution limits presidents to two thames this is a says that come i didn't have a choice on stepping down but i want to has a ten year limit on presidency and comma has reached it assuming that my c.c. wins in twenty nine thousand and twenty twenty full he would also be forced to step down in march twenty twenty eight having been we have been talking to some of you about my c.c. take a listen. a lot of people initially doubted in willingness to step down when he first came into that and eight because of his military background and the fact that you know his is actually the founder of the country but you know he has shown that to the constitution to to you know the. fabric. through to the votes on a brick. we expect nothing less than good goodness and. elections.
6:27 pm
you know he expects. us to another round of elections in between one thousand general election. is imperfect because it conflicts president. president of. starting to question whether. to go into the future with. that iteration of. you know. driving. corruption right right now you know when you're really hope you're probably wow. and now.
6:28 pm

6:39 pm
while the government did not show any care so far it's a common complaint from iraqis who feel the government has abandoned them the iraqi government is seeking money to rebuild for meisel areas it's appealing to the international community for help and says it needs one hundred billion dollars nowhere near enough cash has been pledged so. people at no idea how to contact in return because there's nothing to return to the house is destroyed in the family scattered across refugee camps and rented accommodations in northern iraq she herself lives in erbil but this is home to me often get. all of my belongings were looted in the houses destroyed i'm left with nothing at all i live in a rental and. i can't return my health is deteriorating and i need medical attention my husband suffers two in baghdad the christian community was spared much of the violence the others faced on the eisel even here in baghdad churches are
