4:03 pm
says that israel be working on improving their status and this plan will be implemented in three phases over the period of five years now this was a hugely controversial plan adrian by this government critics saying it was racially motivated the plan to mass at g. port these asylum seekers many of them had a very very difficult journey to get here and now it is being walton we spoken to one of the main israeli activists who's been part of sort of you know mobilizing people against there's there have been protests in recent months against this plan and she said yes it is welcome but however the proof is going to be on the ground what is israel going to do to improve conditions for these people particularly in the area south of tel aviv where many of them live she said yes it's welcome but let's be cautious wait and see how it's actually going to play out so what are conditions like for these migrants and asylum seekers there in israel. well there's around thirty five thousand of the many of them with incredibly
4:04 pm
difficult journeys to get here they got here many years ago really in the last three or four years no more managed to cross into israel because it completed a border fence now horrific stories particularly also when they crossed the sinai in egypt now yes when they get here two things really a very difficult to find work all kinds of conditions attached to them some employers will say that their tax if they do employ some of these african asylum seekers a lot of the single men were rounded up over the years and put in an open air detention center called who not in the negev desert now that was closed just last month why because the government said you're now faced with two options that is either deportation as you mentioned to countries pretty much agreed would be really one day and uganda the second option is to face indefinite prison in israel and it's interesting al jazeera has been covering the story over the years age and everyone we spoke to would tell you that there are choice would be indefinite
4:05 pm
prison because of the insecurities because of the dangers of going back to africa nobody wants to do that and simply that they weren't protected so i think absolutely in general this is going to be welcome but i think very important of course to assess this as it happens how are these people going to be treated and what kind of conditions are going to change or step but he thinks deeper expecting prime minister netanyahu to work to make a statement sometime within the next hour we'll bring you the details of that soon . it happens many thanks to. hospitals in gaza struggling to cope with the influx of palestinians injured by israeli gunfire at the border fifteen people were killed on friday and hundreds were injured when soldiers shot of palestinians protesting against decades of occupation. reports from gaza near the border with israel. she headed to the protests with her best friend wanting to vent her frustration of
4:06 pm
growing up under siege and armed with that reckless courage of a teenager mariam defiantly walked towards the fence where the israeli army was warning against it a lot and i wanted to show the world that we are still here we are not dead i didn't expect such a reaction from them i kept on walking towards the fence carrying a flag the boys followed us the soldiers could see me the snipers were pointing their weapons i had a backpack i took it off so they didn't think i was carrying something suspicious i threw some stones hid and then started walking again i turned to look for my friend and i felt an excruciating pain in my leg to bedford sabrina's recovering from a bullet in her arm another in the foot and shrapnel in the stomach at only nineteen her lack of hope is painful to hear. before going out i told my mother i wasn't planning to come back home i told her i wanted to become
4:07 pm
a martyr i even said my last prayer when i was standing next to the young boys one of them got shot i got angry they weren't doing anything we were just chatting together. the boy was carried away and sabrina walked up a little closer to the border fence this by did tear gas being fired in her direction and then. like mariam she fell to the ground it was the bloodiest day the war in two thousand and fourteen with israel firing live ammunition at crowds of stone throwers. hundreds were admitted to hospital doctors say most for gunshot wounds the hospital is overwhelmed by the amount of injured that arrived here in one day but doctors also say they don't have enough equipment or medicine to give the wounded the proper treatment. most of the injuries are in the lower part of the body but doctors were shocked at the extent of the wounds many patients had large gaping exit wounds doctors say they hadn't seen this before
4:08 pm
because of the type of bullets here exclusive bullets which. on the one one. around fifteen centimeters. ok so here comes. of that issue of the nerves and the anything and. the great march of return is a planned six weeks demonstration cooling for refugees and their descendants to go back to their family homes in what is now israel larch present suspected to return to the border on friday to commemorate did dead and honor to wounded everyone aware that it could unravel in the same way that many in gaza say they have nothing to lose. and how to joins us now live from the gaza israel border what are your one of
4:09 pm
those tented protest camps that are said to be there for weeks now what's happening . well actually had the moment i'm sort of behind the tend the uncapped meant more towards the border you have here is that you have a lot of people you can see probably that if i step out of the shot some of the youth and even some of the families have going to be closer to the fence most of the people are still outside of the so-called buffer zone but you do have some of the youth who are venting their luck getting closer to that border fence has been by and large a very calm here we heard a few pops probably israeli soldiers shooting at in the direction rather. people who are coming closer to the fence but we haven't we haven't heard of any injuries today now as you said earlier this encampment is going to last for the next six weeks and joining me here is. he is part of the
4:10 pm
palestinian n.g.o.s a network i just thank you very much for joining me now your gaze asian is part of this cheery committee of this encampment how did you get this idea and why this idea commutative the palestinian suffering back to the roots of the palestinian israeli problem to be bill here are calling for the basic legitimate rights we for them from only calling for. details of the lives israel deny holding back advice for palestinians now what's this time for civil protesting calling the international community in order to get back it's. not to be dry expect to the people who are in bad need for it these youth who lost all these now got a briefing for them so hold international community hold would must
4:11 pm
hold these people to get back their rights to spill back the freedom. and to touch it we for the from just calling for as gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe conditions that we are suffering and now we are calling for the right to return so the termination and the right to have on the state and the american. from. orders to cancel our right on during the live to cancel our right return push these people back to get this rights again ok what so many people i spoke to said that this was a new way of protesting in this says that you know the armed struggle has been. tried in the past and the didn't lead to very much there's been so many wars here in gaza three in the past ten years and that they're pinning their hopes on this new way which you think is going to go we are just of on the fourth day where do
4:12 pm
you think all this is heading i hope that will continue to the end in order to get israel to the corner to be committed to the international law. to the establishment of israel itself. for dissolution. it's eight hundred eighty one right to return is illegitimate for the palestinians the biz the becket of rights we have to get it so the issue of civil demonstrations civil resistance it's popular resistance it's part of the palestinian national resistance all the history about mistimed this time we are getting it back and to strengthen it now it's not only the political parties who get us the good get the people here hold the actors and the policy in society youth women children elders be one of the separative all together here in order to call for our rights and to be inside
4:13 pm
of our historical land because the right of return has been one of the most complicated issues to discuss when they were actually peace negotiations it was always left like with along with the status of jerusalem as part of the final negotiations do you think it's a demand a lot two thirds of the population here in gaza are refugees or descendents of refugees but do you think that this is something you will actually be able to achieve. it's not only demand it's a right. so we're calling for our rights and if the international community and the side of the human rights on the side of democracy they have to act to get rights back to the people what are the rights abused and in the same time i have to remind you that washington the white house meeting with it what the sky only the
4:14 pm
humanitarian conditions in gaza for getting about that this humanitarian crisis was a result of a political problem so before talk about humanitarian issues we have to talk about political issues which is the roots of the problem israel denied hold the palestinian rights at least to enter basic materials to gaza the night so the israelis and the americans pushed us to scald not and we catch now the basic things so hold it hold would must be in support to the civil demonstrations till the end to get our rights peacefully thank you very much and now a lot of people i spoke to said that they were fed up of receiving humanitarian aid it's much needed because of the conditions here in the gaza strip because of unemployment and also because of the closure both of underside of israel and
4:15 pm
underside of egypt but people also tell you they want to take their own destiny in their own hands they want to be able to have the same opportunities as elsewhere develop their own economy and develop their own society and they hope that this time with this different way of approaching of approach rather that their message will be well received not only in israel but also worldwide even though they do expect that things will be complicated and maybe sees like the ones we've seen last friday could unfold again. oh to many many thanks. live on the border between gaza and israel sort of the picture quality. china has imposed tariffs of up to twenty five percent on more than one hundred twenty american products affecting three billion dollars worth of imports there in response to the u.s. raising duties on foreign steel aluminum last month china says it's safeguarding

4:17 pm
agricultural in areas that will voted for trump i think china is trying to send a very measured response last month the trumpet ministration announced a second round of trade sanctions against china a twenty five percent levy on more than fifty billion dollars of chinese annual imports the white house has not yet specified which products will be affected but targets will likely include sectors like robotics artificial intelligence and electric cars industries at the heart of the new made in china strategy and chinese leaders say they don't want to trade war with the united states but won't sit back if the economy here is hurt for now though they appear to be trying to prevent tensions rising still further if it came to a trade war china would have more to lose as it exports far more to the united states than the other way around some chinese shoppers we spoke to though did not

4:28 pm
a look at the forecast then because this is the storm here that tiny little blob of cloud here doesn't look like it really could of course too much damage but it certainly did and it wasn't the winds of the storm caused most of the destruction it was the amount of rain this is what it looks like there at the moment this was clearly a road you can see the people on the other side of the well what's now a river probably wasn't at first but that water is also raging through very quickly and that's the danger of flood waters they go from nothing to there and fast moving in absolutely no time at all and they can rip through trees and down slides and also rip through your houses so they are very very dangerous so this is the storm now then it is gradually moving away but it's still trailing plenty of cloud behind it so if you're in town or or fiji there is likely to be yet more showers over the next few days and they will be incredibly heavy so if you see one do watch out that's not the only storm we have all miss picture though behind me look at that around townsville we've also got another little circulation and that's

4:32 pm
now monday is world autism awareness day the brain disorder is often poorly understood it affects around sixty seven million people around the world that has an impact on how individuals interact with others and how they experience the world they may have trouble reading non-verbal cues facial expressions or jokes or be overwhelmed in social situations children with autism may be seen as misbehaving adults with autism report discrimination even rights violations it is a spectrum condition meaning that it affects different people in different ways and it can't be cured but advocates say that with education and proper support people with autism can live fulfilling lives technology is being tested here in cata to help doctors diagnose autism in minutes rather than months the first study of its kind in the region has found at least one in one hundred children in cancer suffers
4:33 pm
from some form of autism research as hope that an eye tracking device could help detect the condition garlic reports from joe. well you want anything to. face appears to live the life of an average happy eleven year old boy but to his mom it's a life she never thought possible he was diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder or a.s.d. when he was three back in the day it felt like ok what do i got where do i go now you know it's like what happens for either travel to the states to try to get a proper diagnosis which i got eight years later there's no need to fly halfway around the world because cutter's become a leader in autism research in the middle east researches at cutter's by a medical center a testing new technology the diagnosis autism in infants as young as six months old by simply tracking their eye movement this simple device picks up i gave
4:34 pm
abnormalities linked to autism by monitoring i'm movement as children look at faces on a screen doctors able to give a diagnosis in minutes when it used to take a lot longer the research team leader says an early diagnosis makes all the difference the longer a try with them goes without help the harder intervention becomes therefore early intervention is the key for autism. scientists have also conducted a prevalence study looking at the rate in qatar the field study is the first of its kind in the region it's hoped the findings will pinpoint genetic factors that may influence autism and prove useful when it comes to treatment any family or any problem with have kids can get an easy access to such a diagnostic methods without the long waiting lists which used to be done not only
4:35 pm
here it's everywhere in the world the new technology will ensure that a.s.d. suffers in future won't have to wait as long as face still for that crucial diagnosis and doctors hope it'll take the medical world one step closer to finding the cause and maybe even a cure for a condition that poses more questions than provides on says car leg al-jazeera. base a glorious chief program a marketing officer of autism speaks a u.s. based advocacy group and she joins us now live from new york good to have you with us lisa before we broaden out a discussion it is clear something up here. is autism becoming a more common condition is there more of it now that a more common condition is there more of it now than there was a we're just better at identifying and diagnosing it so it's a little of both we know that there is better diagnosis which comes as a result of better awareness so that's that's good but that's only part of the
4:36 pm
story so we don't know the whole reason and that's why it's so important that we continue to fund research ok so how are you marking world autism awareness day. so we are working i'm really providing people with more about understanding and acceptance of autism we have a story mosaic which we invite everyone who is a person with autism or those that support people with autism to tell their story through photos and video and to date we have over three thousand people who have shared their story to really show the full spectrum and what autism means to them as we said their own sixty seven million people around the world with the condition how many more people do you think there are who are at the moment on diagnosing what suspect they might be somewhere on do it is to scale but but but i haven't had a diagnosis. so i'm not exactly sure how many
4:37 pm
there are but we do encourage folks if they do have concerns that they try and get that diagnosis so that they can get the help and the support that they need ok so i mean. what may make someone think that they might be suffering some form of of autism however slight. so awesome affects communication verbal and nonverbal communication it can also affect social interactions and people with autism tend to have intense interests and in some cases repetitive behaviors so those are things that are of concern. first step would be to go to a health care provider all right but it is a spectrum condition isn't it lisa it affects different people in different ways but it absolutely is it is it is perfectly. it's it is
4:38 pm
ordinary and the dumb thing to it for adults to live a completely normal life with the condition. so some need little to no support and do lead very productive lives and then yet there are others with autism who need a tremendous amount of support and almost twenty four seven care in order to remain safe and so they both may be on the autism spectrum there are just different parts of it be so really good to talk to many thanks indeed for being with us lisa gringo in new york. egypt's national election authority has confirmed president abdel fattah el-sisi has won a second four year term in office he won with ninety seven percent of the vote but turnout for the three day poll was low at forty one percent president sisi so contender was the most awful son who is his former supporter let's speak to woman how it all mastery about this is with me in the studio he's the chair of the
4:39 pm
journalism program at the institute for graduate studies good to have you with us again and i have it this was obviously neither a free nor fair election what legitimacy to this sisi have among his own people and also in the eyes of of world power as well egypt is a deeply split society he does have his he does have his supporters we don't know exactly how many there are because egypt has prevented scientific opinion polling but it's likely that his support is somewhere around thirty or thirty five percent of the population he's been able to systematically eliminate opposition. issued draco nian legislation against protesting and they've also killed a protester so he isn't likely to face any sort of popular uprising at least not in the in the near future look at the juice you do shari'a egypt is far from independent that is the that the media. what sort of challenges is he going to face then a over the next four years i think his biggest challenges are aggressing on other
4:40 pm
measures so if you look at the inflation rate for example inflation has for skyrocketed over the last year and a half or so since i.m.f. reforms were introduced so life for the average egyptian has gotten much more difficult because salaries have sort of stagnated so this is going to be his major challenge is trying to figure out a way to keep those inflation rates at bay in terms of security he's obviously fighting extremists in the sinai he hasn't you know scares counters that terrorism strategies haven't exactly worked. to a t. there's been hundreds and hundreds of tax over the last four years and it doesn't look like those are going to subside so it's going to be almost impossible for you to answer this question but in a gaze into a crystal ball where do you think egypt will be at the end of his for you. well things are worse off now than they were when they were four years ago and if you look at this election as an indication i mean it was
4:41 pm
a sham and on every on every level and by every measure and that's why the human rights organizations have universally denounced it there were no international monitors no election body will certify this. and i think you can expect more of the same you can expect continued repression consolidation of power elimination of all opposing voices weeding out of rivals inside the military apparatus and probably another four years after these these coming four years i think they'll amend the constitution to try to allow sisi to run for a third term and that's pretty depressing when he thinks date now that mr thanks for being with us. if the o.p.'s ruling coalition government is sworn in a new prime minister ahmed becomes the first prime minister from the ethnic community you know they. just ethnic group that if in protesting in recent years of marginalize ation and lack of jobs many hope that b a's appointment will help to address those concerns will all that adam is
4:42 pm
a research associate at the school of oriental and african studies also us university in london he believes that things will change and it. this is very historic i think moment for if your piano for the coalition i mean court ruling coalition actually in the country to cool is actually a few paraphrased or or more prime minister i think he's very historic and i think that these will pave the way i think for the stability and for the unity of the country itself i think the man now i mean he's a part of the establishment of course he was running one of the security apparatus of the country itself but i think he's up before the mist and i think he came from . really just you know background his mother i think christiane and his father or sort of muslim and he's are almost separate it is very disturbing because he's going to be the fittest out almost prime minister should for the country and i think for many people that they think that he is before i mean stan i think also
4:43 pm
