the sort of. it's a unique agreement with israel let me move sixteen thousand two hundred fifty people we move 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 fund that expense just hours later no deal on facebook and twitter he you turned caving under pressure from members of his government and the public he posted that the agreement was suspended because he personally did to hear the concerns of residents in southern tel of eve where many asylum seekers have settled he wrote dear friends i am attentive to you as always and foremost to the residents of south tel aviv i am suspending the implementation of the agreement and after meeting with the residents i will bring the agreement for reconsideration. listen yahoo issued an ultimatum to forty thousand african migrants last year take up my offer of three and a half thousand dollars and

a plane ticket to an unnamed african country or face an indefinite time in jail in monday's facebook post he wrote that country was rwanda but see they had backed out of the deal so he was negotiating instead with the un in his words it was an agreement that would still allow the removal of the infiltrators israel would keep twenty thousand of the asylum seekers the other twenty thousand would go to western nations this was celebrated by asylum seekers who had feared deportation to an unknown country most of them are either from eritrea all sudan in the past they've told al-jazeera they would choose jail over returning to africa i can go to war because i have small kids. i want to be in gas whether he kill me. i don't want about traffic human rights organizations had also fought the mass deportations israelis protested what many called an inherently racist policy

aimed to 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 request news and yahoo may have an obligation to examine requests from asylum seekers but ultimately he can decide their future how much he listens to tell of igs residents and the country's hard right determine the fate of forty thousand people shallop ballasts al jazeera. saudi arabia's crown prince says palestinians and israelis are entitled to live peacefully on their own land mohammed bin still man that made the comments in an interview with the u.s. magazine the atlantic it's seen as another sign of warming ties between sidey arabia and israel in it he said i believe the palestinians and the israelis have the right to have their own land but we have to have a peace agreement to assure stability for everyone and to have normal relations

there are a lot of interests we share with israel and if there is peace there would be a lot of interest between israel and the gulf cooperation council palestinians protesting on gaza's border with israel they are going to stay camped there for the next six weeks fifteen people were killed by israeli troops during protests on friday and more than fourteen hundred were injured demonstrators have gathered near the barrier that runs the entire length of the border israeli soldiers including around a hundred snipers on the other side. the former catalan the former leader of the catalan parliament could soon be extradited to spain the german prosecutors have applied for. extradition following his arrest there last month and he's facing charges of rebellion in spain not just beheading catalonia independence vote now he's currently being held in a german detention center dominic cain joins me now from live in application for extradition means that those wanting more back in spain are really wasting no time

. the point here is that the prosecutors starting the first official step as it were which could culminates in mr push them on being sent back to catalonia sent back to spain to face those charges that you mentioned the question had been whether the charges that he is being sought on the basis of by spanish authorities would be recognized here in germany as well in the in the explanation for the decision that's been taken today the prosecutors say that there are comparable there is comparable legislation here in germany to the legislation that's being used to say that to seek these charges against mr push tomorrow and the german authorities say that he represents a flight risk in other words that if he were not in custody that he might seek to leave germany to go back perhaps to belgium where he had been in self-imposed exile until going to finland and then being arrested by the german authorities when he tried to pass back into germany some days ago so that's the point the the

authorities here at least the courts here and there have in front of them a request an official request beginning is it worth this extradition process against mr bush and not in terms of a timeline. what are we talking about days weeks months. well the thing to say here is it all depends now on what mr put a man wants to do because if he were to accept and that seems unlikely given the fact that he'd been in exile self-imposed exile in belgium but if he were to accept this request for extradition then it could get moved very quickly people talk about a ten day timeframe however if as others speculate seems more likely that he would contest this extradition request well then it's up to sixty days so those the suggestion that it could be that we could reach the culmination of this process either at the end of may or perhaps at the start of june the point to make here is that mr bush the man spoke to a member of parliament here from the group for

a member of parliament here in germany in an oral statement to this person yesterday that emerged he his view is that he wants his supporters to carry on the way he has been working in a nonviolent way he says that this is the catalan way of doing things that the u.n. respected way of nonviolent processed point to make is now with the push is experiencing how the judicial system does things here in germany and then in within a few weeks we should know what his fate will be or leave it there for the sake of joining us and where we do more for the moment thank you zimbabwe's president is in china seeking investment to help his country's struggling economy. to meet chinese president xi jinping shortly and his first foreign trip since coming to power in the last year and i think i'll state his predecessor robert mugabe and the military takeover. well i agree about is joining or following us following the

story joins me now from beijing and a dream why is the president visiting china right now. well first and foremost president emerson well wants to thank president xi jinping but all the support that china has given zimbabwe during those long eighteen years when zimbabwe was isolated because of the international sanctions that were imposed on zimbabwe and she ching ping has always said that zimbabwe and china were all weather friends but of course as you said in your intro he needs investment you know zimbabwe nate may be wealthy in a variety of minerals but its economy is in dire straits now china is already a significant investor in zimbabwe particularly in sectors like farming mining and tobacco but i think the zimbabwean leader will be looking for more investment from president xi jinping and president xi jinping also wants to consolidate and also

strengthen the influence that china currently has in africa i'm sure that president xi jinping will want to promote and talk about his one belt one road foreign policy and trade initiative and to say to the zimbabwean leader that there's room in this project for zimbabwe and of course china has this growing presence across africa as you mentioned there adrian how important is zimbabwe as one of the pieces in a much larger jigsaw puzzle. look i think it's it's very important president xi jinping is a very strategic president and africa is a very important part of chinese foreign policy right now i mean look at the fact of what china has done in djibouti there now have a military base there very strategic indeed in kenya for instance that is now a center hub a broadcasting hub for chinese state television for their international arm so

africa is an important part of chinese soft power and you know china's investments in africa as we've seen are deepening china is building motorways it's building ports it's building airports but there has been some pushback and just a few weeks ago in one of his last public engagements as the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson before he was fired he was in africa and he warned countries to be wary of what he called the chinese neo colonialism and he warned that many countries risked finding themselves in a in a sort of debt trap if they took up the offer of chinese loans well for the moment adrian will leave it there and follow present visit to china with a close interest thank you. a boat carrying dozens of rigging the refugees as arrived in malaysia the boat was intercepted by the navy brought to dock on to the island malaysia's maritime enforcement agency director general said the refugees

where the refugees fifty six of them mostly women and children will be handed over to immigration authorities where they will be processed accordingly as migrants without documents. are refugees have long seen malaysia as a place of refuge partly because this is a country with a majority muslim population and it is where they think they will be looked after now as i mentioned earlier their. boats of refugees arriving in the later is not something new it peaked in two thousand and twelve when there was violence in rakhine state in myanmar and refugee advocates have been warning that we will start seeing this again soon because of the violence persecution that's taking place in northern rakhine state in young law and the conditions in refugee camps in bangladesh having said that this is the start of the monsoon season so we are not expecting many more boats to arrive until the monsoon season ends in a couple of months. slows we'll even thanks very much for the updates.

children and unicef is calling the attacker. one of the deadliest on children since the conflict in yemen escalated in twenty fifteen now the missiles hit a building which houses the displaced people in the rebel held city of who data a coalition spokesman says they'll be an independent investigation into the bombing joining me now from geneva is yon egland the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council good to have you with us you are actually in geneva at the moment i think overseeing the potential for a donor conference to help those that need it most it's quite difficult to generate that enthusiasm or even that money when there's constant bombardment and conflict in the region you're trying to help. it is a stark reminder of how cruel this war is what happened in who data there also missed sides going from the northern governorates into saudi arabia so the

escalation is precisely what we do not need now here in this building now donations from around the world are meeting to give more funding to us the humanitarian agencies that are desperate plea under-funded on the ground however our message is also it's not just money we need we need more than anything ceasefire we need an end to this senseless war we need an end to the bomb beings and the missiles going into areas like all data and we need an end to the missiles also going from the north in yemen to saudi this has to end in twenty eighty. i follow you on twitter as i think millions of other people do as well and i constantly see your growing frustration as you say of the conflict in the not finding you might say any light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the donor

conference today what do you hoping can be achieved from that that could perhaps add some solace to those people that need help the most. well my messages when i will speak in time is the following number one we need generous donations saudi arabia and the united arab emirates who are also fighting in yemen are now the biggest donor to our aid efforts we need other you know neutral in dependent donors to come and step up to the plate number two we need ceasefire now number three we need the meet new media to martin griffiths who is here now in in the building starting his work to lead you and negotiations for peace and we need so do arabia in new ron iran is supporting those who are having

control in the capital sana'a and the northern governorates iran need to push also the parties to the negotiating table so does united kingdom and the united states that are selling enormous quantities of arms to this war. it can end its a manmade disaster in the extreme this we have a million corner of cases because of the economic and social melt down in yemen it must and how do you react to the scenario of a port today and a port that so vital to bring in aid at a time that while it's needed the most. you know it's it is a horrific sign of the escalation who data is the it's the entry of nearly all surprise to gammon i mean it's it's one of what would be for the

netherlands you cannot bomb because all of netherlands would stop you cannot bomb data because women children the innocent will not get the supplies yemen is getting all of its food from outside and eighty percent of that comes through who day the port there was a blockade in november december that was devastating now it's been easier to get food in but for example fuel is coming. at one third of what is needed and fuel running water you know workers are running vital public works for this very very poor and very vulnerable civilian population well for the moment so we'll leave it there we look forward to you speaking later at this conference and thank you very much for your time unical and that from the norwegian

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 this she remains strong. she remained determined she was courageous. i may not act she became the face and voice of nelson mandela and the anti-apartheid campaign while he was in prison for twenty seven yes all these people say they are here to celebrate the life of winnie mandela but she was also a very controversial figure she's been accused of being involved in human rights abuses during the i pod times she's also been accused of having a very militant leadership style a song say these kids paid a legacy there's. even one of their parts height system she fought.

cummings. you would understand that. itself was violent. it was natural that. violence against. a comes to mind is that she defied a project system which is it's such a huge negative impact on our country and the biggest labor party still lives are today. she might have lived a checkered life with her own political and past struggles 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 so john is back south africa. workers in france have begun three months of rolling strikes which are expected to cause chaos for commuters for the half

say iraq's very heritage is at stake as imran khan reports from the country's second largest city mosul it might be impossible to know what has been lost here. the grand mosque of our laurie has stood since eleven seventy two. it was the location from where the leader of i saw a back al baghdadi declared an islamic state in july two thousand and fourteen the iraqi military says i saw fighters blow up the mosque as they retreated i still blame the damage on the americans. archaeologist the loss of the mosque is a loss for the whole of iraq. until now we don't have an exact statistic of what has been looted or destroyed artifacts the reader on artifacts the reader on display at the most museums and in other places were damaged or destroyed by eisel generally or information tells us that at least eighty archaeological sites were sabotaged by still before the military campaign to drive them out began in late two

thousand and sixteen. eisel is alleged to have sold off the tax on the international black market in two thousand and fifteen the university college london institute of akio logy reported that antiquities from areas controlled by eisel while openly on sale in london iraq is say the government has done little to assess the loss because it has more pressing concerns then though has the local authorities and the government view iraq's artifacts as something of an accessory and not a crucial issue to worry about the issues of displaced people and security are at the top of their agenda nowadays but if we give it a second thought then we have to admit that the heritage of native a is its identity and the country's heritage. even before iraq was a country sites were looted by europeans and more recently priceless artifacts were hidden away behind closed doors because of the security situation even today in iraq a museum in baghdad a visit is a few but those who do come make the most of it the people's had a taking

a group for say that's actually quite a rare thing and something they've only been able to do recently this museum was shot in two thousand and three because of the u.s. led invasion and occupation when looters k. until things from the museum now is reopened in two thousand and twelve on the very tight security very very recently the people have been able to come back here. officials with iraq state board of antiquities understand that a huge effort will be needed to document the losses but also to protect the remains anonymous or a walk in and our main obstacles and challenges are funding some of the historical sites on areas of unexploded munitions and we need a security effort to clear them we also need international support to restore these artifacts we need international effort for the restoration and bring back looted artifacts from iraq we need more aerial surveillance and more manpower to secure

the remaining historical sites across iraq. without that effort iraq's heritage could likely be lost for future generations like these children who have come to learn about their country's rich and diverse history iran car which is there right . now hotel in northern italy has a new member of staff and the social. meet robbi potter the country's first robot concierge and he's just taken up residence there legarda probably answers questions from guests in three different languages and if he doesn't know the answer he's programmed to learn from his interaction with us. you're watching after their arms the whole robin these are all top news stories israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is suspended a deal reached with the un's refugee agency which would have seen thousands of african asylum seekers resettled in western countries not replace
