showers will be very very heavy there's also some very heavy showers over south america at the moment to this stretching from the northeast around for two days and then all the way back down down towards the southern parts of brazil as well so around rio it looks really quite wet for the south is warm ascension up at thirty degrees for the northern parts of argentina has some rather lively thunderstorms to . the. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news up live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu suspends a deal with the u.n.

over african migrants just hours after announcing it a mash television. a leader in the fight against apartheid but a divisive political figure afterwards we need medical. has died at the age of eighty one. u.s. markets are rattled off to china imposes tariffs on scores of american goods in response to measures ordered by president trump. also ahead at least thirty four people are killed plus dozens injured in a gun and bomb attack in nigeria with vocoder are believed to have been responsible . let's get going the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has suspended a deal reached with the u.n. refugee agency which would have seen thousands of african male migrants and asylum seekers resettled in western countries it replaced a controversial plan to repatriate or deport them to other countries in africa

under pressure from members of his government netanyahu made the u.-turn within hours of announcing the agreement most of the people affected come from eritrea and sudan now in early january the israeli government said sixteen thousand migrants would have to leave by april or face arrest each was to be provided with a plane tickets and three and a half thousand u.s. dollars on february the. fifth netanyahu confirmed the deportations had begun ten days later israel said it would freeze the deportations after legal questions were raised in a high court petition then on march the twenty fourth more than twenty thousand people demonstrated in tel aviv in support of the migrants that's when the plan to resettle them in the west began stephanie jacka has more now from west jerusalem on the politics surrounding this decision from mr netanyahu in members of his own

party seem to be unhappy about this they weren't consulted at naturally bennett who's the education part of the jewish home party and that israel would become that we say exactly said a paradigm for infiltrators in this is because this is these these are asylum seekers have throughout the course of the last eight years or so been called illegal in traitors by authorities here not my purpose not seekers and that's one of the points which today was interesting that the prime minister actually started migrants in starting to now move forward and not do this mass deportation plan which had come under such criticism it was hailed as in success by the n.g.o.s by the civil society to in argue against this however they did say it will be see how this will unfold one now in a dramatic turn i think it's safe to say it's been put on hold because of his right wing not happy about this saying that you know they need to discuss this further it

will need to be consulted in the needs to vote on it in the cabinet now under the five year agreement with the un african migrants who enter the country illegally were supposed to be resettled in western nations including germany italy and canada earlier i spoke to a kiva elder a senior columnist for the news website monitor he says he doesn't believe those countries were informed about the deal. we've heard already from the germans and italians that they don't nothing about such an agreement they will observe refugees instead of wonder and uganda so perhaps this is one of the reasons that he had to suspend the deal the other thing is that he again follow his base his political base when you talk about his political instincts his political allies had seen caught off guard by this up until this latest development so he playing to

hear him is he on certain terms i think right now and you know is very embarrassed because on one hand he's got a ruling of the supremes quote that wants to get more information from those third parties in africa. who have deny that they have a deal with israel they are willing to take the asylum seekers and he refused actually to reveal the agreements because probably he knows that they're very problematic on the other hand he hates the idea that he's getting a huge hug from his enemies which the human rights organizations and the israeli left perhaps they were too quick to send him their blessings for doing the right thing which is a very left think so right now i think that he has got no idea what is going

to do about it tomorrow. tributes are being paid to winnie america's element bella the n.t. party campaigner who played a leading role in the battle against white minority rule in south africa she was married to nelson mandela throughout his twenty seven years in prison dozens of mourners have been paying their respects i set her house in soweto on the outskirts of johannesburg is catherine soy. a vigil for we need. in soweto the very heart of the idea apartheid struck president cyril ramaphosa came to pay his respects as we say in african culture. a gigantic korea has fallen and this is the winnie mandela three that provided shame for the people of south africa he told the wilder that south africa has lost a giant and has sent off a great legacy mandela will be given

a state funeral next saturday and before that will be memorial services and across the country she has been one of the strongest women in our struggle who suffered immensely under the parted regime who was imprisoned who was banished who was treated very badly separated not only from her husband but from the children as well and their people but notwithstanding all the she remains strong. she remained determined she was courageous her character may not act she became the face and voice of nelson mandela and come pain while he was in prison for twenty seven yes all these people say they are here to celebrate the life of winnie mandela but chose also a very controversial figure she's been accused of being involved in human rights

abuses during the times she's also been accused of having a very militant leadership style a song say that these kids paid a legacy there's a. lot for people here that even one of their parts hide system she fought. cummings. understand that. itself was violent. it was natural. violence against. a comes to mind is there she defied a project system which isn't such a huge negative impact on our country and the biggest project still lives are today . she might have lived a checkered life with her own political and possible strike roles but many people in south africa want to remember half of the role she played in the fight against apartheid and the impact she had to know people here for them she is the mother of

the nation catherine saw al jazeera john is back south africa. barbara and go look back on mrs mandela's life. winnie mandela the former wife of nelson mandela spent years in the public eye as an anti-apartheid campaigner my husband has been fighting for the liberation of the african people for the work in someone you speak of. in this country she'd been suffering from a long illness for which she spent much of this year in and out of hospital she was revered and controversial in equal measure you are here through this morning. testimony. offered really out of our government. but area has failed rolled our country during her husband's twenty seven year imprisonment in robben island when it made a crucial role in directing the anti-apartheid struggle. in one thousand nine

hundred ninety now so mandela was freed and the world watched as a jew i walked out of prison hand in hand but by the end of the next year when he was found guilty and fined for her involvement in the kidnapping of forced to wear to school children and the killing of a boy in a stumpy by had team of bodyguards the necklacing method in which he was burnt to death with petrol filled tires horrified south africans. in one thousand nine hundred ninety two allegations of corruption and mismanagement forced her out of all executive positions in the n c but shortly after she was appointed as culture minister in mandela's unity government she was sacked a year later for insubordination but kept her position as a member of parliament and head of the women's league have marriage to mandela and that in one nine hundred ninety six when he however remained a strong figure in south africa's social and political circles the reality we see

out today. i think our worst problem today is crime and of course what goals we had in then with that is the poverty of our people. we are far from. fighting the battle of poverty in fact the mets revolution in this country is a revolution ok support of our people there she faced controversy in the latter parts of her life for millions of south africans winnie mandela holds a special place her brave fight against discrimination and for equality. to relieve. this struggle a hundred times more if the end of it i would that achieve precisely what we achieved as the african national congress the liberation of south africa the liberation of my people. the number of

people killed by israeli forces during protests on garza's border on friday has now gone up to seventeen more than fourteen hundred others were injured friday was the first day of a sit in that's expected to last for several weeks protesters are camping along the barrier that runs the entire land border guards or israeli soldiers including some one hundred snipers have been stationed there protestors set up their camps about seven hundred meters away and plan to stay there until israel's independence day on may the fifteenth put up till so many reports now 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 snack bar or catastrophe 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 sill called buffer zone about three hundred meters imposed 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 in the 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. doctors in gaza say many of those hurt on friday have injuries that medical staff have not seen before searching mohammed cuddle says most people were hit in the lower body with large gaping x. it would seem because of the type of what it's here is exclusive bullets what's in that on the one man one woman the meat on his butt out around fifteen thousand to meet us out of it ok so here comes them is severe damage of that this will see the damage of the nerves and give them as of the artist anything and the bone george bush out of it is a professor of law at the university of california he's also

a political analyst focusing on the arab israeli conflict earlier i asked him if those expanding bullets dum-dum is being used by the israeli army are illegal the use of bullets that are designed to explode within the human body on hat it's been illegal under customary international law for decades at least in fact the first international act that out let out a lot of them was in the nineteenth century so there's absolutely no question they're illegal they're illegal when you're used in international combat against soldiers they're certainly illegal in non international conflicts such as this one it is also important to understand that with respect to the gaza strip israel is still an occupying power and therefore its use of force is constrained to wiltz call police force it can't use the full grounds of its military power against the palestinian people it has to use the minimum force necessary to quell

a disturbance like we saw on the other day from the point of your quoting a disturbance to dum-dum bullets give you a particularly builtin advantage i mean why and who would take the decision to use them. there is no justification for their use in this situation were the israeli soldiers or civilians in danger of their lives then the use of lethal force would have been justified there was no such threat under these circumstances all of the people who were shot were on the other side of the border fence and those are simply not circumstances in which israeli lives are threatened now the use of these kinds of bullets has been promoted for example for air marshals who are who are you know who might be required to fire in very close range and somebody to incapacitate somebody in because these bullets explode they don't penetrate very

far and they wouldn't harm other passengers on an airplane or go through the fuselage and cause that decompression of the airplane but other than for circumstances like that there their use is clearly illegal there is no justification for that whatsoever plenty more ahead here on the news hour including strength in numbers thousand central american migrants cross into mexico on the journey this enraged the u.s. president. tangled up in debt alone shocks a preying on sri lanka's most vulnerable entrepreneurs. and in the sports teams australia south african links may well it just gets worse sometimes here with the details in about thirty minutes. the u.s. department of justice has announced it is to impose a quota of cases on immigration judges to speed up hearings and to clear

a backlog critics want to could see cases rushed through without full legal process an official joins us live from washington how big is this backlog allan. well according to many sources around six hundred eighty thousand at the trump an illustration very clear that backlog because of course that means the people who are in the country illegally are waiting to hear their cases and therefore they're illegal immigrants as far as the trump administration is concerned and so they want to see that move very quickly the intention airs the judges will process somewhere in the region of seven hundred cases a year at the moment they're processing on average somewhere around six hundred eighty so the department of justice say look this isn't a huge leap particularly when you consider a number of judges are already processing more than a thousand cases but here is the difference some cases are a lot easier to deal with than others some are very complex and also they're putting in quarters which suggest that judges can't have more than fifteen percent

of the cases coming back to them from a higher court no the difficulty is according to critics is that a lot of judges will not be focused on clearing the backlog and getting through seven hundred cases a year rather than dealing with the merits of the case and therefore they feel that people who are in the court won't feel that justice is being done properly and certainly of the law in the judge's collective bargaining agreement there is this idea of introducing quarters from the start of the new financial year in october there are people who are concerned that that simply won't work because judges will be more concerned about processing this number rather than dealing with the case because in the end it could impact on the salary the take home and if those cases are more complex that surely means more evidence that process should be allowed to expand perhaps as a function of the the amount of evidence as opposed to being shunted towards

a penalty which the judges would have to bear themselves. and of cases go through the court far too fast and someone has got a problem then they will take that to appeal and so that my impact the fifteen percent rule but also judges may well consider taking legal action against this even though as a see it's in the collective bargaining agreement quite simply because they may feel that they're being given a bit of a raw deal but the intention from the department of justice according to this memo that has been sent out was sent on friday to all immigration judges is that they would like to introduce this new scheme at the beginning of the vendor which is being able tobar which is the new financial year in the united states thank you. and i know crossing by more than a thousand central american migrants into mexico has prompted a storm of condemnation from the u.s. president the so-called easter caravan is organized by activists aiming to

highlight the plight of people escaping crime and poverty donald trump accused mexico of failing to do enough to prevent them from entering the united states john holmes reports now from mexico city can. become any which way they can put in buses and trucks central american migrants crossing into mexico looking for sanctuary here or in the united states they usually go in small groups but every easter activists organized this caravan to bring awareness to the plight of those fleeing poverty or criminal gangs in their homelands particularly el salvador and honduras. it started with threats and i'm a woman and while men can be more than me we couldn't figure out any solution except to come here and that said take a look at the caravan organizers hope that the sheer numbers will keep them safe from the cartels which often kill and extort migrants and member of thirty's let them stay or pass through so far they've been granted free passage that's

infuriated u.s. president donald trump who tweeted mexico is doing very little if not nothing stopping people from flowing into mexico through their southern border and then into the u.s. that on the whole is not true over the last four years mexico has drastically tightened up its southern border with the help of funding from the u.s. usually migrants accord in a web of patrols and checkpoints there have been many accusations of human rights abuses the tolerance for caravans like this one is exception not the rule something mexican foreign minister luis fee that i highlighted on trump's preferred battleground he tweeted every day mexico and the u.s. work together on migration throughout the region the facts clearly reflect this. the government here would hope that its efforts to stop migrants heading through mexico to the u.s. would help the relationship with the know the neighbor but president trump doesn't appear to see it that way off the learning about the caravan even threaten to call

off a trade deal between the countries it's impossible to know how many of the tweeted threats will turn into policy but it's another headache for the mexican government and an unhappy signal for those who say going home is not an option john homan. mexico city the u.n. has condemned on a tank in the north east of nigeria that killed at least thirty four people and injured dozens more suspected boko haram fighters detonated bombs and opened fire on residents of two communities on the outskirts of my degree is what it was. another violent day in the nine year old battle between nigerian security forces and. a familiar picture for people in the country's northeast. this is safe i just struck the communities of germany and bali shorey with bombs and guns under the cover of darkness and. only heard gunshots we went out.

people and even its close soldiers by saying where we are winning the war we have defeated the enemies and so on but areality even years after the war i mean the idea that the war has ended used to will see that some kind of fight back from the group that bombs what no one expected that they will be coming back so strongly fighting the government offered amnesty to the fighters it's not certain if they will take a similar offer in the past failed to work and it's even difficult now a book or a misprinted and continues targeting isolated vulnerable villagers. as people in this region mourn their dead they also wonder if and when the fighters or strike again ahmed edris al jazeera. still to come here on al-jazeera. was. protestors are killed and injured as members of india's lowest ranking cast

that's when president donald trump applied new levies on chinese on a million and steel imports the latest measures would affect around three billion dollars of u.s. imports but that's less than two percent of the value of u.s. trade with china from monday the chinese government began imposing additional juvies on one hundred twenty eight kinds of products the highest tariff of twenty five percent will be on u.s. 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 apart from the scrap aluminum they're mostly agricultural in areas that will then 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 datable might hope that 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. 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. well stock markets were rattled in the us not just by the tariff or but also president donald trump's targeting of the online retail giant amazon caban is on the now from the new york stock exchange. monday marked the first day of trading in april and the first day of trading in the second quarter and it was a very brutal day on wall street with the dow down more than seven hundred fifty points at one point during the day on monday before closing down four hundred fifty but it was a hit across the board as the s. and p. and nasdaq also took hits closing down two point two and two point seven percent

respectively it's really caused by two things number one is wall street very concerned about this brewing trade war between the world's two biggest economies united states and china this came after china announced they're posing tariffs against more than one hundred twenty different types of u.s. imports they announced that early monday morning here in the united states this came after the u.s. and outs similar tariffs against chinese imports to the u.s. last month so investors really worried that this trade war could signal potentially a more broader trade war throughout the world that could affect the global economy beyond that also worry about amazon and quite frankly donald trump's twitter finger over the weekend president trump tweeted that amazon the e-commerce giant was responsible for in his words billions of dollars in losses to the u.s. postal service because of the products that amazon delivers on

a daily basis from the u.s. postal service trump really signaling out amazon for criticism here and this immediately affected amazon's stock it dropped more than five percent on monday and this has ramifications for the entire stock market because amazon is the third most valuable company in the world with market capitalization of over seven hundred billion dollars it's a stock that seen it's gone up over sixty percent this year alone so when amazon takes a hit like that it affects the whiter stock market. well the trumpet ministrations says it plans to reverse plans for strict to fuel economy standards for vehicles the proposals drawn up in twenty twelve would have required comic has to nearly double the average fuel performance of new cars and trucks to fifty four point five miles a gallon by the hit twenty twenty five john hendren reports from washington. with the obama administration gives the trumpet ministration is proving again it can
