wants u.s. troops to stay the kingdom may have to foot the bill. for the president's also announced he'll deploy soldiers along the border with mexico he's demanding that mexico prevent a large group of central americans from reaching the u.s. . china has condemned the latest move by washington in a growing trade dispute it says it's ready to retaliate again after being hit with twenty five percent tyrus of more than thirteen hundred items mostly consumer goods a boat carrying almost sixty ranger refugees has now reached malaysia the group began their journey from a bank of ishi refugee camp a bizarre they'd been sheltering there among hundreds of thousands of others who fled violence in me amar their boat headed through southern sea routes where it was intercepted by the time navy stopping on an island in crabby province the group was

given supplies and then escorted on its way the vessel was and spotted and intercepted by malaysian maritime enforcement in pull out tuba in the long waters where it docks in cattle state where the refugees were given food water and medicine and they're now be processed by malaysia's immigration department florence louis is our correspondent at tacit barris that's where the range of refugees are currently being processed. well asia doesn't recognize refugees not being a signatory to the un convention on human rights and it normally. boat refugees but the malaysian officials said they are allowing them to processing them as migrants without travel documents on humanitarian grounds many of them continue to stay on in malaysia despite not having any legal status they do get given what's known as.

the united nations refugee agency saying many countries around the world as you know as well but they don't really have any legal status. many of the children can't go to school. yet many of them will want to stay on here because they view this as some sort of a safe haven because of malaysia's majority population so i can imagine for many of them once they've been processed once they've been given. they will want to continue staying on in malaysia they already about sixty thousand refugees living in the country. the israeli defense minister has warned protests as in gaza of it anyone who demonstrates on the border is pushing their life at risk eighteen people have been killed this since friday and more than a thousand wounded but reports from ramallah. by all appearances the phone call looks routine with no hint of the desperation nad feels good little island to send this everyone asks why we hit

a certain israel isn't just taking away our land it's not just killing people this was also taking away our loved ones without giving us the opportunity to say our goodbyes every day israel is giving us a new reason to hate it that was there as a palestinian from gaza living and working in the occupied west bank now it is trying to arrange permission to get back home and mourn with her family she says her nephew or a former was killed by israeli fire while working his land before the mass protests in gaza on friday let's have out of the shadows look i still don't know whether i'll get the permit or not i'm tired of going to bury people and come back i'd love if i got a permit to go to gaza eat fish have fun and see the people i love. over the course of two days in the west bank demonstrators came out to express solidarity with the people in gaza against the israeli occupation and to denounce american policy which they say is biased toward israel but attendance was sparse in light of the numerous

calls for a campaign of escalation in the west bank this week you would have expected a protest like this to be much larger but here in ramallah it's a pervasive sense of resignation that seems to far outweigh any feelings of anger. in many instances it's a growing cynicism toward the palestinian political leadership that has been behind the twinkling number of protesters over the past several years. palestinian officials don't deny the existence of that sentiment. the position of that in their ship is it is strong and tough but it has to be true. slated into terms of of policies on the ground and i think that's when we are alone that's what we have not really been able to do lead in downtown ramallah some residents worry the split between the two main palestinian groups but to her and hamas will seep ever more into the social fabric and can we need to tell the politicians enough dividing us stop saying west bank and gaza so we don't feel this division others expressed

their frustration level has in the the knesset it says i don't feel that there are people who encourage and push us to go to protest it's not enough for one or two people to show up you need leadership to encourage you and you need daily demonstrations but with levels of fatigue here as high as they've ever been many worry things will only get worse mohammed enjoyment is either a muslim in the occupied west bank. the u.s. refugee agency says it's disappointed that israel has scrapped a deal to relocate hauffe of the african refugees living there prime minister benjamin netanyahu face intense pressure from right wing groups which oppose the agreement stephanie decker reports. the deal was on then it was off this was the reaction in tel aviv by some who had hoped the tens of thousands of asylum seekers from eritrea and sudan would finally

have their legal status resolved. is one of them he made the dangerous journey from eritrea in the horn of africa alone at the age of sixteen he's been here for six years and is fluent in hebrew he shows us his immigration papers that he needs to renew every two months shit. is first of all there is racism in this country and this is a difficult disease especially among the politicians this we could have dealt with but then there's the issue of a government takes twenty percent of the money we make and puts in deposit we can only see this money when we leave the country this puts huge pressure on us. the deal would have seen just over sixteen thousand african asylum seekers resettled in western countries under the auspices of the united nations and in exchange israel would process and resolve the status of up to twenty thousand others who would remain in the country something it hasn't done it would also replacing ultimatum issued by the israeli government last year be deported to an unknown african

country or face an indefinite time in jail but activists tell us that even this now cancelled deal which put some hope was floored this is the first time we had a chance to take part to take responsibility to share the burden with the world and say look. it's hard for us blah blah blah even though it's not hard where we're benefiting at konami cleaner but let's say it's hard for us we're doing state we're we're going to take our we're going to take our share and taking refugees we're actually from a modern state from a democracy state we're trading we're saying ok we're we can't even take care of sixty thousand we're throwing them back to the world many of the african asylum seekers we've been speaking to live here in southern tell of even they will tell you that there was a short lived moment of hope but now it is back to the uncertainty that they have experiencing here for years and they say they don't know what israeli government will do next these people have been living in a legal limbo for years under the constant threat of prison or deportation we're

told this is all part of a systematic strategy to force them to leave israel human rights activists say this is an inherently racist policy aimed to preserving the identity of israel as an exclusively jewish state and it appears that a plan that would allow up to twenty thousand asylum seekers to stay in israel and get some form of legal status was something that those in the country's far right didn't tolerate for even hoffa day stephanie decker al-jazeera. revels in yemen has struck a saudi oil tanker in the red sea off yemen's main pool city of her data the who says say they targeted the tank after an airstrike that killed at least fourteen civilians including seven children. the thousands of brazilians are valid across the country calling for the former president lewis in silver to be jailed for corruption there are also rival demonstrations in support of lula it comes

a day before the supreme court decides whether he should stop the sentence he was given after his conviction last year here's a latin america editor lucien human reporting from sao paolo. demonstrators filled sao paulo's emblematic police to ave demanding former left wing president we see now. be put behind bars without delay. tensions are soaring ahead of wednesday's supreme court ruling on whether to accept loose argument that he cannot be sent to jail to serve a twelve and a half year sentence for corruption until he has exhausted all appeals. if you like is not imprisoned he will return to power and keep stealing he's the leader of the mall. as he's known is still the front runner ahead of october's presidential elections if it when he's allowed to run. people here say they won't let that happen demonstrators say they want to send

a very strong message to the supreme court that just about the former president they say that about in favor of the lowest petition would set a dangerous precedent that could lead to the release of scores of high ranking all the dishes and business leaders. serving jail sentences for corruption but most have launched appeals hundreds more who've been indicted for corruption could avoid jail three years of the motion is upheld but many here have lost faith in the supreme court as an brazil's other institutions. but sure they have paid off all the judges of the supreme court so we remain free but we are here trying to prevent that well there's a. political passions running so high there's good reason to feel violence ahead of the ruling last week gunman attacked and shot at a campaign bus caravan in which lula was taking part in southern brazil he insists
