summit has been shelved there are a number of reasons for any potential delay first of all the u.s. doesn't have a secretary of state at the moment rex tillerson still hasn't been replaced donald trump is planning to meet north korean leader kim jong un in the next couple of months that summit will take a lot of preparation and with a real prospect of no breakthrough in the g.c.c. dispute the americans are why they'd go invest a lot of time and effort with no real return any potential summit could no take place later in the year alan fischer al-jazeera washington. well pro-government airstrikes have targeted a marketplace and serious northwest of province and it's reported that dozens of civilians have been killed the town of anyhow was hit on tuesday hundreds of recently displaced syrians from eastern and now living there. we are in the city of in the city's open market this market was targeted by three

airstrikes by the syrian regime's jet fighters as we are filming now a number of jets are hovering over our heads a long silence blaring across the city at. this particular market has always been the target of strikes over there you can see the aftermath of tuesday's shelling this market is the destination of not only the city's residents but also for the people in the neighboring towns and villages dozens were killed and others injured as a result of the bombardment that. as i said this marketplace has always been the prime target and on every occasion it's mainly civilians who are killed or injured this is also the third day in a row where the city of has come under aerial bombardment it follows the arrival of a number of evacuees from the way. the city is now packed with residents and those displaced from elsewhere in addition to people evacuated into the area but now the

leaders of russia and turkey are for summit on serving a seven year war iran's president hassan rouhani and russia's vladimir putin's support syria's president bashar assad and the war turkey backs the opposition all three have been killed in the conflict with a significant military presence in syria. now russia has agreed to speed up delivery of a powerful air defense system to turkey a move which has a law that's nato allies. allays of the two countries put their warm relationship on display as they not construction of turkey's first nuclear power plant. reports . it's a special occasion for turkey to be part of the nuclear power generating this is the site of the twenty billion dollars a q u which is scheduled to begin operations by twenty twenty three the leaders of russia and turkey said it will have a workforce which is already under training in russia it's the first foreign visit

by president vladimir putin since he was reelected last month he chose nato member turkey which has become a staunch russian partner in recent months or so which is it wouldn't. today we're not just inaugurated the first atomic power plant but we're laying the foundations for turkey to have an atomic industry so we're building a whole new sector turkey is a highly developed economic state but this is a new step in the history of a turkish republic. with the power plant the two countries are forging defense economy in strategic ties both countries are working on a major gas pipeline which will provide hydrocarbons with the growing energy needs they accuse birches of russian s. four hundred missile defense system has been criticized by its need to allies who is in between the two countries is worth more than twenty six billion dollars a year and the turkish president is hopeful with russian help he can push the economy to be among the top ten in the world by twenty twenty three trucks or thirty we are in acting many strategic projects together with russia the s four

hundred strategic missile defense system and the turk stream polyploid which is some of the projects we are working on the nuclear power plant is another and we will also address the terror threats and conflict in syria. civilian nuclear technology defense and the economy are sectors where turkey and russia have common interests turkey's geopolitical position plays an important role in its relationship with moscow but ankara is increasingly having to play a difficult balancing act between being a nato ally and partners with a country which many in the alliance see as a threat. and. russia's foreign intelligence agency chief has accused the u.s. and the u.k. of concocting the poisoning of a former spy i say again i wish he'd made the comments at a security conference in moscow he says washington's actions to weather russian means they can now talk of a return to the cold war era where several countries have a spelled russian to the last of the poisoning of former agents. and his daughter

and. well the head of britain's defense laboratory says they have not tracked down the precise of the nerve agent used to insults barry. our job within the whole of this investigation is and was to identify the agent used which is from the family of nova chop there of agents we provide that information to the government who have then used a number of other sources to come to the conclusions that they have an end to the diplomatic steps that they have i can only emphasize that our job within this whole . episode if you like is to provide scientific facts and evidence and inputs which was identification of the agent and that's what we've done so the head. above carrying dozens of potential better genes finally lands in the nation why

they may not be enough to stay and trapped in the african refugees facing more. files scraps of detail. by this guy knowing that. we're off the coast of the italian riviera. well it's warming up rapidly very nicely for spring early spring in a good part of europe in the east the sun is as you can see in the west that was being driven into the atlantic this pretty cloudy admittedly it is also quite warm so rain first double figures easily eleven in london eighteen zero fifteen in madrid but of breeze admittedly rather grey skies and if you take wales and give twenty two to bucharest and that's a huge improvement twenty degree increase in the last week or so so obviously and he's still on the ground is melting rapidly there will be spring flooding in many

countries of central and eastern europe because the rain moves not general direction come thursday will rain in vienna quite likely dancer croatia those nifty so a bit of a cold in the us is enough for me to stay on the tops of the italian alps for example but nothing much otherwise even scandinavia could go a long way no it's not a catch and he snow the tail end of that is still blowing throughout syria into news here as the cloud now it's reported returns for even recent reading twenty four hours a day on a huge amount is all move as you can see so again come and wednesday and sunshine another wind direction is critical here is but bit of dust with a bit of warms from the sun harbor twenty four on the coast in two days twenty eight in tripoli doesn't change much in next two days. the with the sponsored boycotts on. the scene for us where they're online which is a very new sign in yemen that peace is 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 choosing between buying medication and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and has posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. have you with us on al-jazeera these are our top stories u.s. president donald trump has spoken again of his desire to pull american forces out of syria suggesting a victory over i saw as and when and what trump says of allies like saudi arabia want america to stay in syria they may have to pay for it. the leaders of iran

russia and turkey a meeting and i'll call for a summit on seventy a seven year war all three a key power brokers of the conflict the significant military presence and several. a boat carrying nearly sixty one hundred refugees has reached malaysia the group's journey began from a refugee camp cox's bazar the refugees were sheltering there among hundreds of thousands of others who fled violence in myanmar headed through southern sea routes where it was intercepted by the time navy stopping on an island in the crabbing province the group has given supplies and escorted on its way the vessel was then spotted an intercepted by malaysian maritime and four spent in the langkawi waters where it docked and stayed there the refugees were given food water and medicine they'll now be processed by malaysia's immigration department florence really has more from belong to malaysia's state where the henge are being processed. the

rabindra refugees mostly women and children have been brought to this detention center and belong take on the mainland of peninsular malaysia now at this stage they are being held by immigration authorities officials will question them and try and determine whether they were trafficked by human trafficking networks whether they are who they say they are the un refugee agency will also try and determine whether these people are in need of international protection now malaysia does not recognize refugees is not a signatory to the un convention on refugees and as such even those refugees may have un state says they are not able to access public services such as schools they're not able to work. even so many refugees continue to make their way to malaysia because they see this country with its muslim majority population as a safe haven they are already about sixty thousand living in malaysia. court has delayed ruling on the fate of two voters journalists who are currently

being detained the decision on whether to dismiss the case has been delayed to next week. were accused of possessing secret government documents the lawyers say there isn't enough evidence to support charges rights groups are being targeted for reporting on the crisis. a second day of severe transport disruption is underway in france rail workers are striking in protest against president planned labor reforms only a fraction of trains are violent leaving many commuters stranded unions are planning rolling strikes over the next three months they want the government to drop the proposed cuts to benefits and pensions. the un's refugee agency says it's disappointed that israel has scrapped a deal to relocate half of the african asylum seekers living there and under a previous agreement mostly sudanese and ever trained migrants would be relocated to western countries promised to benjamin netanyahu had faced intense pressure from

right wing groups which opposed the agreement stephanie decker reports now from tel aviv. 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. first of all there is racism in this country and this is a difficult disease especially amongst the politicians we could have dealt with but then there's the issue that the government takes twenty percent of the money we make and puts in a 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 fluent 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 going to stay where 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 tel 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 the 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 hall for a day. and stephanie is joining us live from west jerusalem now netanyahu waking up to and listen a of criticism in the press deafening. yes

absolutely for more spectrums also you know the right wing israeli media show you some of the headlines hot it's which is what you would expect saying that netanyahu is now at the mercy of facebook they're calling him the great pick the jerusalem post questioning the real question mark yes three sixty turn what not to do and flip flop nation and then you have my t.v. over here saying all through all the zigzagging is you're out is now left with forty thousand migrates so a lot of criticism questions being all says to well whether the prime minister can deal with this he won't even be able to start dealing with the palestinian issue and a lot of people in the media saying there has been a lot of back and forth that the prime minister has done over his career but this one is one of the biggest and will that affect stephanie the future of netanyahu is administration. well i think it shows just how

fragile it is and how much at the mercy of his coalition partners netanyahu is it already stems about the fact that he is under investigation for fraud and corruption the police have actually recommended that he be indicted and since then i think if people could say that he is exploitable by members of coalition for example just last month the coalition was on the verge of collapse due to a bill that had to deal with the ultra-orthodox serving in the army at the moment they're exempt this bill was trying to make that something that there'd be obligatory while the defense minister avigdor lieberman threatening to leave the coalition if that pause so it all has to do with this is putting him in a very fragile position i think this is also why we've seen this major u. turn just a couple of hours off in the prime minister publicly announced this huge deal to the media and on television and then a couple of hours going back because he needs them he depends on them he's more fragile than ever and also his political base is voter base there's

a big out war on social media after he announced his deal with the u.n. and from what we understand from reports in the israeli media his advisor sat down analyzed and said listen this is a real issue to you this is a real threat to you and this is why we've seen this major u. turn stephanie thank you very much for that for the other to stephanie deca with the latest from the western thank you. china set to impose tariffs of up to twenty five percent on one hundred six u.s. goods the move is a reaction to planned u.s. tariff soft twenty five percent on billions of dollars worth of chinese them all to washington and thirteen hundred chinese products mainly in the technology sector well let's get more on the set latest development now we're joined by china correspondent adrian brown he is live for us and beijing so what is the china comus ministry saying adrian. well the finance and commerce ministry are holding a news conference in the next fifteen minutes but we know because of what state

t.v. has reported during the last few minutes that they have identified one hundred six items sectors that they're going to be targeting their counter measures that they say will be in equal intensity to those measures outlined by president from on choose day united states time china says it is going to be targeting among other things soybeans as an industry worth about fourteen billion dollars a year to the united states and also cars and that could affect companies like general motors and ford who are very big investors here in china they've been here almost since the beginning when china began opening up so anyone who works for a u.s. company here in china is going to start to feel very unsettled by what is happening but we have to remember nothing is going to happen for the moment as regards the second round of sanctions because president trump still has another sixty days to sign off that means there is time for negotiation which is what china says it wants

so i think in the coming weeks expect a flurry of diplomatic activity but certainly china is taking off the gloves of foreign ministry official said a short time ago that the talking is over now it's time for action yet very interesting adrian what happens of negotiations are not successful have already heard from the chinese that they would take a case to the world trade organization. you mention the world trade organization and that's interesting because there is a real worry here in china that by the united states taking the action it's taking it's almost rendering the w t o potentially to be irrelevant because if the united states is going to ignore whatever judgment whatever the w two a has to say about what the united states is doing then of course it raises a huge question mark over you know how it can continue functioning china of course

says you know it abides by what the tells it to do but the united states says the china hasn't complied actually with a number of important resolutions that were passed by the w.t. go back in two thousand and fifteen what is the u.s. end game here elizabeth i think president from wants to open up china's economy further and he's using the threat of terrorists as a way of doing that adrian thank you very much for that as our china correspondent adrian brown by the very latest live in beijing thank you. now very hour has emerged of australian police punching and kicking a man as they arrested him in two thousand and sixteen the sudanese born man was having a psychotic episode when he assaulted several people in the city of melbourne before trying to hold up a pharmacy armed with a pair of scissors and initial investigation found that the officers did nothing wrong andrew thomas has more. the man being arrested in this video had just robbed a pharmacy using a paralyzing scissors as

a weapon and hitting just three people on the street outside even so when the police turn up their brutal one policeman punches in seven times with one fist then switches to punch him twice more with the other before standing and then kicking him in the hades he's got handcuffs on the ground and the placement stance on his back now this incident was referred to the police's internal from flight system but that found that the placement involved the done nothing wrong and that's why the lawyer for the man has now released this video to the media saying that the complaint system itself is broken this follows another video released on tuesday of another man arrested on his own front lawn police broke down his bill pepper sprayed him in the face and then beat him on the legs before setting him up with handcuffs on and then hosing him with a high pressure hose pipe in the face to get that pepper spray off they seem to be enjoying it now the lawyer for that man said he never referred that incident to the complaint system because he didn't trust it to take his complaint seriously to take

it anyway well placed in melbourne now site there are viewing both these incidents again in the light of this video these videos becoming public. now u.s. president donald trump says he wants to send troops to the border with mexico to stop illegal immigrants until his long promised border wall this built his continue his tough stance against illegal immigration as he demands mexico prevent a large group of central americans from reaching the u.s. hundreds of men women and children are stuck in southern mexico where officials are trying to determine their legal status get a for their close if you want to put troops at the border perfect you can put them there but to taint us to use us to enforce his policies of fear as if these people were soldiers look at the women look at the women and children fleeing the violence . well it's been fifty years since the death of civil rights leader martin luther king jr and while the only surviving members of his entourage says his death is always a source of pain well king was shot dead at the lorraine hotel in memphis in one
