what makes this movement to this era we're living through so unique this is really an attack on truth itself is a lot of misunderstanding a distortion even of what free speech is supposed to be about the context it's hugely important level wise to publish if you have a duty to be offensive or provocative for whatever it is people do setting the stage for a serious debate up front at this time on al-jazeera. israel makes a deal with the u.n. that would relocate some of its african migrant population to western countries. like vietnam a dream for again this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up defiance in gaza

fifteen protesters died but protesters camped near the border with israel say they aren't going anywhere. china gets back at the u.s. by introducing retaliatory tariffs on all the one hundred products plus the nigerian city of my degree targeted once again it is at least twenty people were killed in an attack that need to be carried out by boko haram. is right struck a deal with the un's refugee agency to resettle thousands of african migrants and asylum seekers in western countries the government had wanted to send them back to africa offering them plane tickets and cash to go but the supreme court suspended the deportations last month most of the migrants from eritrea and sudan let's go live now to west jerusalem zero stephanie decker is that staff prime minister netanyahu has been talking about this in the last hour you were watching what other

specifics of this new deal then. yes he went in to the details of how the so all unfolded how israel wanted to deport all of the african migrants that remain here the asylum seekers thirty five thousand of them he said that basically the supreme court as you mentioned put a stop to it needing details needing a third country we knew the third country in talks was rwanda rwanda recently had said because of the increasing pressure that they would not be taking anyone against their will a lot of these these african you know asylum seekers most of them from eritrea who don't don't want to go back to africa they say that even in countries like rwanda and uganda which is one of the ones also being talked about their rights they wouldn't be protected so that made them turn make israel turn to the u.n. and now three countries being touted as these western countries that will be taking in some of israel's african asylum seeking population canada one of the italy and

germany the figures we understand around sixteen thousand two hundred fifteen the prime minister saying would be one for one so one of them would go to one of these countries and israel would keep one more details specifics not quite sure how it's going to unfold but certainly israel saying that it's going to look into the status improve the status of them when they're here currently the living conditions are dire and i think interestingly is the language here adrian. all along for the last eight years or so when these migrants asylum seekers have crossed into israel from egypt now of course there's a fence so it's no longer possible they were called illegal infiltrators is are all made every single attempt to convince them that they were not welcome that they did not have a future one now in the official statement from the prime minister of britain and already just hearing him speak he's using the word migrants and people will tell you that that is also a significant change certainly israel has had to adapt and given to a lot of the pressure on them as to this mass deportation that is now no longer

happening ok you say that that life for them is pretty dire israel will sort of conditions are they living in a way. yes i mean you have to look at it over the last couple of years so at the moment you have people living particularly in south tender the conditions are difficult their working conditions when they can work have all kinds of. limitations on them some of the people who employ them will say that they're being taxed at all so the salaries of some of these these african migrants are being withheld by the government part of a barbeque a bargaining tool so to speak saying well if you leave we will give you this extra cash back there was also a situation here adrian where a lot of the single men were rounded up and put in an open air detention center called who lost in the negev desert well that was closed last month because basically israel gave them an option which is either you get deported or you face unlimited prison time and the interesting thing is age and algiers been covering

this for years is everyone we spoke to would tell you that they would take the option of prison time because the uncertainty and the dangers of returning to africa which was israel's idea would certainly be too insecure too dangerous and something that they were terrified of so i think this is a victory certainly also for the human rights groups in the civil activism that's been happening here against this plan but also we've spoken to one of the main israeli activist who's been involved in highlighting their plight she was telling us well of course it's positive but let's wait and see how these things unfold on the ground how they will be treated how life will improve stephanie many thanks indeed to serious stuff like about life blisters. hospitals in gaza struggling to cope with the influx of hundreds of injured palestinians by israeli gunfire earlier this week fifteen people died when israeli troops used live ammunition to prevent palestinian protesters from approaching the gaza israel border on friday those who

remain are in several tent cities near the border and say that they plan to remain there for weeks to zeros ha ha made reports now from gaza near the border with israel. people here in gaza are pinning a lot of hope on the so-called long march of return which is basically staying along the border for dinnick six weeks or until may fifteenth which is actually a day the palestinians refer to as nec but look at that strophe because it is the day of the creation of the state of israel the cabman's are about five hundred to seven hundred meters away from the border fence which is just there in the background there you see some people have gone a bit further down and they are basically at the limit at the still called buffer zone about three hundred meters by israel they don't want the army doesn't want to see anyone in that area but you can see that some of the young people have actually

gone defiantly a bit closer to the border now organizers and the people coming here want to make sure that this remains a peaceful nonviolent sit in many people i spoke to said you know we had several wars here in the gaza strip over the past ten years there was a lot of violence we lost a lot of our own people we are going to try this new way and nonviolent long term protests in the hope that maybe it will change something many people will tell you that they are sort of fed up of living thanks to humanitarian handouts they want to take their own future into own hands they want to have life in the gaza strip like life anywhere else as specially they want to be able to have at least freedom of movement. meanwhile the demonstrations been held in tel aviv against the military's actions of the god of border activists and members of israeli

palestinian parties protested against the escalation some held banners with the slogan jews and arabs refused to be enemies of former leader of parliament attended the rally and stressed the importance of peace. back to the state of israel decided to react with ballance only means that israel for god. the other language israel forgot they are being in. the demonstration here piers i hope one among the many good eventually you will persuade people that government and the public opinion the fence is important but peace offensive is much more significant saudi led coalition air strikes have killed at least fourteen civilians in west and yemen ten others were injured in the raids targeting the city of her data fighter jets at a camp for internally displaced people medical sources say that seven children and three women were among the dead the rebel group controlling the last syrian

al islam there the largest group in duma an eastern guta this very strategically significant suburb really to the east of damascus in a major prize for the syrian regime to try and get it back and it's been under intense bombardment now for more than a month and it's where some of the first protests against the syrian regime started when the civil war first broke out of valleys why there is now intense pressure from the syrian regime to try and take back control of duma in eastern guta the jail is one group they say that they are not willing are prepared to surrender they say they are willing though to handle humanitarian and injured civilians for treatment in toronto us. breaking news now on al-jazeera south africa and anti apostate campaign when a medic is a lemon dela wife of of course nelson mandela when he was imprisoned on robben

worse off now than they were when they were four years ago i mean if you look at this election as an indication i mean it was 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. 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 and alley minium last month china says it's safeguarding its interests and balancing losses caused by the u.s.

mostly agricultural in areas that will that 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 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

appear concerned what datable might help if the u.s. wants to fight a trade war i will never buy their products no foreign products japanese korean american we have our own products. well you know i think we should give up buying american products i'm chinese i must support our own products it is not a trade war yet but the coming few weeks could determine whether one really will happen adrian brown al jazeera asia. at least twenty people have been killed more than seventy injured in an attack on the nigerian city of my degree security forces say that they've driven out suspected boko haram fighters who tried to enter the city of fighters a set of attacked two villages on the city's outskirts my degree has been a frequent target for the group over the last ten years more now from our series of it drifts who's monitoring the story from freetown sierra leone. although there is

no claim of responsibility for the attack security sources believe but it's a lot of hope or are they came under the cover of darkness and attack these two villages on the outskirts of my degree they have always wanted to take my degree when they were taking territory in northeastern part of nigeria however they were unable to in the past nine years or so now security forces and you might just work as believe that the death toll could rise because of the severity of some of these injuries the nigerian government offered some form of amnesty if they're willing to give up their arms but we from what we've seen over the last few months or so it doesn't look like it's going to work. this is not the first time the nigerian government offered amnesty to boko haram which was rejected although they assert certain point there were discussions between the government and the fighters however people in the northeast of the country continue to want to hear about the escalation and what it could mean to their future and their lives we're going to weather update next here on al-jazeera then refugees look for

fujian province and some of this is likely to be pretty heavy and make things rather wet towards the west would be much a good area of cloud over the eastern parts of india it's not really brought as a great deal of wet weather but it's gradually edging its way eastward across bangladesh and breaking up even more as it does so over the next few days i think the greatest chance of a shower is going to be in the far south perhaps over sri lanka as well elsewhere more mostly falling and drawing and hot now would not pour up around forty degrees in the far north to still our area of cloud that's been working its way eastward and it will continue its journey away as we head through wednesday so the northern parts of india should brighten up as they should in the northern parts of pakistan too for the arabian peninsula more cloud here at the moment that is giving us a few showers here in doha though we're up at thirty three. facing realities growing up when did you realize that you were living in a special place the so-called secret city getting to the heart of the matter why is
