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 calling 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 each and 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 consult in the needs to vote on it in the cabinet. the number of people killed by israeli troops during protests on girls as border on friday has now risen to seventeen more than fourteen hundred others were injured friday was the first day of

a sit in is expected to last for several weeks protest is a camping along the barrier that runs the entire land folder of israeli soldiers and snipers a station where protesters set up their camps about seven hundred meters away and plan to stay there until israel's independence say on may the fifteenth holder abdulhamid reports 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 a 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 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 and on hand 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 so certainly they're pinning a lot of hope what will unfold is not clear but what from what we understand people will continue to come here for the next six weeks feel to come here at al-jazeera strength in numbers a thousand central american migrants cross into mexico on a journey that in raid. the u.s. president. george washington coming up a very human lot at martin luther king jr. from cool brisk nose and fuel rods. to the warm tranquil waters of southeast asia. hello again cloud it's clinging on to the middle east at the moment it's stretching from saudi arabia all the way out towards kazakstan giving some of

us some rain but most of us have seen a fair amount of dust instead i think we're most likely to see some wet weather around the northeastern part of our map as we head through chews day and across some of the mountains again some of that will be turning wintery behind it though it's warming up safe attash will be at around to twenty three degrees further west you can see the cloud that we've got here that feeds all the way up into the southern parts of russia is edging its way east it's this still the chance of seeing one or two showers if you're in back or perhaps if you're a baghdad to the south around parts of saudi arabia the clouds also being thick enough to give us a few showers recently that cloud still with us on choose day and then it joins forces with the other one as we head through wednesday so for some of us will be quite grey at times and still the chance of seeing more outbreaks of rain for the southern parts of africa plenty of wet weather here we've seen some particularly shop showers over parts of i go to recently and those stretch further towards the east as well plenty of them all rush of them across the northern part of our map and also affecting us in madagascar mostly in the east but towards the south it's

largely fine and dry just a handful of showers here and it looks like cape town will be dry too over the next few days a top temperature of twenty four. there with sponsored by qatar and greece. the scene for us where they're on line which is a very nice sounding him and the piece is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there are people there that are choosing between buying medication easy this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and she's posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera.

time for to take a look at the top stories here it out is there a tribute to being paid to south africa's former first lady winnie medical. has died at the age of eighty one she played a leading role in the anti-apartheid movement and was married to the nation's first black president nelson mandela throughout his twenty seven years in prison. twelve members of one family have been killed in a saudi led coalition air strike in yemen seven of them were children the missiles hit a housing complex in the hootie held city of data israel's prime minister has suspended a deal with the u.n. to resettle more than sixteen thousand african asylum seekers in europe and north america benjamin netanyahu made a u. turn within hours of announcing the agreement under pressure from members of his own government. and the new crossing by more than a thousand central american migrants into mexico has prompted

a storm of criticism from the u.s. the so-called east caravan is all the lies by activists who aim to highlight the plight of people escaping crime and poverty donald trump has accused mexico of failing to do enough to prevent them from entering the united states john home and reports from mexico city. become every 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 with every act to be sold. to bring awareness to the plight of poverty or criminal gangs in their homelands particularly salvador and honduras. it started with threats and i'm a woman and while men can do more than me we couldn't pick. any solution except to come here and that's it i think a lot of the caravan organizers hope that the sheer numbers will keep them safe

from the cartels which often kill and extort migrants and mean the authorities 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 the 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 northern neighbor but president trump doesn't appear to see it that way after learning about the caravan even threaten to cool 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 home and how does it or mexico city. i mean the u.s. department of justice is announcing it will evaluate immigration judges on how efficiently they deal with cases it's in an effort to clear up a backlog of court cases an official has more from washington. it's estimated there own six hundred eighty thousand cases to be dealt with by the immigration courts the department of justice wants to see that number significantly reduced they want to see the number of people hanging around waiting for their court dates essentially to go away because they can apply for work or they're waiting for the

case to be hammered you know what the department of justice would like to see is a judge's processing somewhere in the region of seven hundred cases a year at the moment the average is just under about six hundred eighty so the department of justice says this isn't a huge leap this is just probably dealing with three cases a day for every judge and they point to the fact that some judges deal with more than a thousand cases in the year but the difficulty is some immigration cases are a lot more complicated than others know immigration judges when they signed a new collective agreement with the government there greed to the introduction of some quarters and so the department of justice is saying from the beginning of the new financial year and tobar we want to see this going forward it could be open to challenge in the courts particularly from people who would be concerned the judges are more interested in processing the number of cases rather than jus a process in their courtrooms so although the department of justice issued this

statement to all immigration judges on friday before the easter holiday in the united states it's clearly something that could well play out over the coming months as we see likely illegal challenges to this idea from donald trump's the partment of justice. and staying in the u.s. the trump administration says it plans to reverse high a fuel efficiency standards for vehicles the santas were set in twenty twelve and they would have required also to make as to their lead double the average fuel economy of new cars and trucks by the at twenty twenty five to one hundred reports from washington. with the obama administration gives the trumpet ministration is proving again it can take away the head of the u.s. environmental protection agency says he plans to weaken plan fuel efficiency standards in a statement e.p.a. administrators got pruitt says the obama administration's determination was wrong saying obama's e.p.a.

percent less than other professions with similar training that could make teacher recruitment harder in the future we have seen reductions in the number of teachers and the number of college students who are exiting who are graduating from college with a teaching certificate and so there have been declines over the last ten years or so that people have raised warning flags about losing losing teachers to other professions teachers in oklahoma say they'll stay off the job at least another day hoping their demands will inspire change in their state and possibly others as well diane that's true broke out zero washington. police in thailand say they've made the biggest of a seizure of illegal drugs with an estimated street value of more than thirteen million dollars and then. more than a million pills made from a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine he also sees more than six hundred
