a member of parliament but she wasn't doing very well and that was not the thirty. parliament session the things like that but nevertheless she was in the struggle she was in and see but their relationship was not very rosy. all right well thank you very much for now catherine story there outside the home of winnie mandela in sweats where people have gathered to pay their condolences. now israel has reached 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 but the supreme court suspended the deportations last month stephanie decker reports on this now from west jerusalem. very soon after the news broke the prime minister made a public announcement the middle of the sort of show to be so unique agreement

with israel let me move sixteen thousand two hundred fifty people removes them to developed countries like canada or germany or italy that's the commitment of the united nations high commissioner to remove them to organize it to form that expense . israel had given two options to the almost forty thousand african asylum seekers currently here be deported to an african country widely believed to be rwanda or face an indefinite time in prison most of the asylum seekers al-jazeera has spoken to over the years covering this story say they had no choice but to choose the unthinkable most of them are from either eritrea or sudan and many endured a horrific journey to get here i can go to a lot of them because i have small kids. saw i want to be in jail whether he kill me or though i don't want to go back to africa over the years mostly single men were rounded up and put in this open detention center in the negev desert conditions were tough as were conditions for those living outside

mostly in the suburbs south of tel aviv israel called them illegal infiltrators and the status of the majority was never resolved. there's been a strong movement from n.g.o.s and civil society fighting the mass deportations something many who would inherently racist policy into preserving the identity of the jewish state we believe that israel has the obligation to uphold the refugee convention that it is a signatory to to fully examine the refugee requests and for those who are registered as refugees because there are certain requests are valid to the status here in israel just like any other country in the world to do what we're hearing from the government right now is that they would be given some kind of a stay we're still unclear which kind of state is what would be the rights that would accompany this kind of status that they would receive in israel the move has been welcomed by human rights campaigners but they still urge caution meant taining

that the real test will be how israel deals with those who will stay and if the situation will indeed improve stephanie decker al-jazeera west jerusalem palestinians injured during protests on friday say they'll march to the gaza israel border again to demonstrate against israeli land confiscation seventeen people have now died after being shot during the landay protests and hundreds more were injured leaving hospital struggling to cope doctors are appealing for more medicine and supplies to treat patients on the abdel-hamid has more from gaza. 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

pork a fifteen percent duty will apply to fruit nuts and wine but not soybean imports worth around fourteen billion dollars annually to the u.s. analysts say china's response appears measured i think the key here is targeted what they have done as a package i mean one hundred twenty eight are a rather small items but you'll notice that apart from the scrap aluminum they're 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 or jay devil might harm the player if they. 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. i think we should give up buying american products chinese a muslim quarter our only products it is not a trade war yet but the coming few weeks could determine whether one really will happen adrian brown. has more to come for this hour the u.n. condemns the latest suspected boko haram attack in nigeria that's left at least

a rolling strike by drivers at the s.n.c.f. the national railway on tuesday and wednesday around eight out of ten of them will be on strike and beyond but it's part of a wave of industrial action that really is the biggest since emanuel michael took office last may there are other there are other industries also going on strike in the next few days for example air france people pushing for a six percent pay rise the energy sector unions are holding industrial action this week calling for the renationalisation renationalisation of their sector there are solidarity strikes expected by students but for the s.n.c.f. workers what they want first of all is for the continuation of the special status they have the government saying that future hires won't get that special status which allows employees to retire at fifty five to get beneficial pension

status and things like vats the the other sectors say that they are going to carry on as as these strikes go on but the longest strike by far will be the railway sector going on until the end of june and i'm only one of my kong came to power promising to reform the economy last year he did manage to push through changes to the labor laws to make it easier to hire and fire people their worst street protests he was able to do that by using decrees avoiding a vote in parliament it's extremely controversial but it works very end and it may well work now so an organized and extended series of strikes we have here what about the impact. well look the impacts will start to be felt in the next few hours for travelers like the people here it's very busy at moorpark nurse you'd expect that anyway because people are back to work

a serious debate up front at this time on al-jazeera. but look at the top stories this hour tributes are being paid to winning. who has died at the age of eighty one south africa's president has called the anti-apartheid activist a voice of defiance against white minority rule. israel has reached a deal with the u.n. refugee agency to resettle more than sixteen thousand eritrean and sudanese migrants in europe and north america last month the supremes suspended deportations of migrants back to africa. and china has imposed types of up to twenty five

percent on more than one hundred twenty american products and a growing trade war between the wilds to begin counting. at least seven people have died in india during angry protest over cost discrimination members of the dallas group say a supremes court judgment last month weakens that protections the ruling made it harder to prosecute officials accused of discriminating against the group because shop explains. the protests began in several major cities across central india. to members of india's lowest cost cutting railway lines and roads and the time buses and government offices. and out the they are enraged by a court order that they say dilutes the safeguards protecting what is already a marginalized community a large and minus this is most of the people every. member of the country is

protest against atrocities being inflicted on us across india there is resentment and anger. and that was visible across the states or job and it was a pradesh is leading security forces reacted quickly i. discriminate. as our lord remains widespread as does the anger you are a senior government minister appealed for restraint. may your c.s.t. act get someone to review petition has been filed in the supreme court i will only appeal to all political parties and groups and not incite an act of violence and i hope everyone cooperates with this. but the effects of this day of confrontation quickly spread shops and businesses were reported to have shut down those protestors cut roads into the capital new delhi and other industrial cities this reservoir. shutdown has a great impact on businesses but in china service is

a bridge has had a huge effect and there be no customers either monday's demonstrations were called by several groups representing with daleks once known as the untouchables they make up two hundred million of india's one point two five billion population and despite anti discrimination legislation going back seventy years still remain at the very bottom of the cost hierarchy. the shop al-jazeera. i'm now joined by and he's the head of the department of politics and international relations at university of westminster thank you very much for coming in to speak to us the delegates have long faced discrimination in india it's sadly historic tell us more about what's prompted these protests now the list would be disapproved of the operas cost in india the concerts around the two hundred million population in a population of their along with that indigenous people would be on one hundred million to three hundred million people in india have faced historic discrimination

in every level so for instance if the economic jobs in the mythos or discrimination religious persecution death of what everything there were the there were two different laws two different acts that provided that ensured that if the lists were discriminated against or abuse they could at least appeal to the court and you disagree and recently supreme court has said that basically that law should be actually diluted the little been protesting against that because the reality is they do not have access to do dishes this time the way for instance the upper caste rich people would have so tell us more about potential scenarios that could then unfold as a result of this supreme court ruling that. acts that were there for that protection of been diluted what does that mean for the fatalities and practice imagine a situation where two hundred million people for instance that they have to indulge in manual scavenging because the only job they get bigger to rape they get killed big attack they get to discriminate against they get dehumidify every different

level by the that's what they have been suffering they were this limited that at least give them from hope because they don't have the money to fight the court cases and what the food happen is and we have to understand the supreme court has passed recent recently palled judgements that have been bordering on hindu nationalists their messiah even within the national government they've been almost discriminating against the muslim minority they have been discriminated ballots through the way i would see that the court and the judiciary along with media which portrays all the purpose of largely wildland they are sort of again reaffirming the traditional control of the upper class in india i mean that's how worrying is that is that a trend that's always been in place or is this something new for judiciary which in any country you would expect up hold the law which applies to all people equally that should be independent is siding with the government of independent what we have to understand the judiciary have largely dominated again by these. to be

dominated in a way they have the shared sense of view which the judiciary has the media have all of them the way they feel that their lives have been politically asserting themselves that. they're trying to react to that assertion the way view should see it is that it's a reaction of i mean syria actually move on the part of the elite against an assertive. press population so what hope is that the change that you're talking about three hundred million people who have an entire system from the political system from the economy to the judiciary that is completely stacked against them they suffer from marginalization discrimination and poverty and also violence of violence that every level to treat. the war for the good with the news of wunderlich man being killed because he was writing the horse and the upper class people didn't like it the hope of actually learnt political mobilization the fact that the list mobilised themselves and they are mobilizing the thing they're not going to accept it implies that it's not going to be we can go back to the old

system where the minority that would be a book often do they would dominate the rio i would save solidarity between their lives muslim minorities christian minorities and anyone who cared for equality and human rights and democracy in india i think that's the big part of that india is going to freeze in the coming years thank you very much dr and appreciate your analysis on out to nigeria where the government has to launch an investigation into cambridge analytic has involvement in the country's two thousand and seven and two thousand and fifteen elections a presidency spokesman said it would look into whether the firms work in support of the van ruling party the people's democratic party broke a nigerian law u.k. based political consultancy is already facing allegations of using data from facebook to target voters in the two thousand and sixteen us election and persons referendum. forty eight girls from a high school in afghanistan are thought to have been poisoned the girls are in
