the political events that led up to bite it's about the impact on each person who went through it it's really important that we highlight the stories of humanity hopefully one outcome of this would be that we remember our shared humanity and the shared history. in a country with high youth unemployment one organization helps turn school children into entrepreneurs who can tell us what i mean by their wide fundraising empowering them to reclaim their futures we teach them how to operate destroying my ship was how to make the baskets and build more prosperous communities some of the invest the money into other business school for life uganda part of the rebel education series at this time on al-jazeera.

brazil's former president lula negotiate his surrender to the police after defying a deadline to start a prison sentence for corruption. hello and welcome my name's peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here and also coming up. israeli security forces killed eight palestinians during the second mass sport a protest in a week plus. nobody's been tougher on russia than i have. another round of u.s. sanctions for russia this time striking a blow to me at putin's inner circle also ahead. we have not lost control of the strait so i can understand why some people are very worried at the moment london's police chief on the defensive amid a major spike in the city's murder rate. the

former president of brazil luis enough silva has reportedly agreed to hand himself over to the police to begin his twelve year prison sentence for corruption now the agreement came after lula sees popularly known missed a deadline set by the investigating judge to the reports now from sao paulo. to learn his many supporters defied the oath or it is for as long as they could hear the metal workers union headquarters in sao paolo he missed a deadline to hand him self into the authorities he and his supporters maintaining his innocence of the corruption charges leveled against him. here we are here we are with the world looking at us everyone is accompanying us closely closely monitoring the situation that threatens our democracy. but lose options have run out if you legal team is exhausted all appeals he will attend the ceremony to mark

the birthday of his late wife and more trouble for the southern city of could achieve for a special jail cell awaits him to brazil is a country very much divided with many here believing that justice will only be done if. twelve years a one month sentence for the crimes of which he's been committed many others feel that he's the victim of a political prosecution to stop him running in october's presidential elections elections they fail he would almost certainly win. support for lula has also come from abroad from the left wing politicians in office across latin america what he led to zero from two thousand and three to two thousand and. eight is an absurd trial that they have done to lula they have condemned him without any proof and the reality of what they're doing is outlawing the greatest political leader from being president. however many in brazil are celebrating what they see is justice being. but even the once mighty must pay for their crimes what if. i came

here just so i could see close up when these corrupt men lulac goes to prison guilty or innocent for him or against him the sight of being taken to prison is still one that will shake brazil. sanya shot is a political analyst and journalist specializing in latin america she says despite facing jail time will continue to be a positive symbol for many brazilians. what we are seeing now is the by the breast and why because her breasts her lawyer is a symbol he was said thing he said gender like and trying to improve the life of the poor people it was a socially so gender but what happened he what he became a symbol in brasil not just one imbecile because he was heard you know wolfie you

also but there is another symbol related to what i see and this is corruption too and in some ways seems that the justice in brazil they are trying to set the record straight in say that the nobody is a ball there long there are some people who are suspicious in saying that this is a political movement because lula da silva is a front runner. in the next her coming elections in october so he was a most likely to win the elections in brazil so if this is in this in this regard they are to proceed sions embassy and that's why we see what we are seeing now all these protests and the all these her movements social movement and everybody is can name in. the way free the israeli army has killed at least eight palestinian protesters and injured more than thirteen hundred in demonstrations along the gaza border with israel thirty people have died close to the border since the protests

began last friday the palestinian representative to washington has won the situation in gaza is explosive from the region cannot afford to wait for a new u.s. peace plan from gaza is hard to meet. the black spoke started billowing since early morning as gazan was dubbed as the friday of tires and for a second week in a row they took to grievances right up to the fence despite this radio army warning that it won't change its rules of engagement. mainly tear gas and live ammunition sending the protesters running for their lives. some of them had mirrors to blinder snipers positioned across the fence at least a hundred according to the army and many hurled stones sixteen year old mohammad was among them during the week he goes to school and on fridays during his weekend

he comes to the border area on the border but. they fight us with advanced methods we have slingshots and we have stones but they have bombs we want to eat to drink to work but we have no life there is nothing for us here and angry at everything that anger is the main driving force behind these protests have mass and other political faction seeking to gain leverage and israel fearing the demonstrators will storm defense. throughout the year these last three hundred meters leading to the border fence are a no go area for gaza and now this fight the threats made by israel that it will use exactly the same rules of engagement at the first the protests people came here and that is where most of the casualties happened. at times there was you for your among the protesters but as they drew closer they were immediately pushed back. and the wailing sirens replaced the charts it's in the afternoon that the tensions

were highest hundreds of casualties in just a few hours many here are refugees who were pushed out of their homes by new born israel back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight going back is a dream passed on from generation to generation. it was kicked out from my two day known as ashkelon in southern israel she was a child then and now she's giving support to do you think fighting for her rights movement. throughout the year to three hundred meters around the fence are a no go area for gazans despite the threat by israel that they would use the same rules of engagement as they did in the first day people have continued to come here and this is where most of the casualties happen. garrisons frustrated by didn't never ending blockade know that in the short term nothing will improve for them but by risking their lives at the fence they hope to refocus the world's attention on

their plight as perpetual refugees under siege but that didn't help me gaza now the united states is striking at the russian president vladimir putin's inner circle with another round of sanctions the hit list includes seven of the country's most influential business men the white house says it's responding to an ongoing pattern of harmful behavior and white house correspondent kimberly how could. for weeks relations between the united states and russia have been deteriorating but this time for russian president vladimir putin it's personal and friday the administration of u.s. president donald trump announced its third action in as many weeks against key allies of putin including his own son in law what we would like to see is the totality of the russian behavior change the new u.s. sanctions target thirty eight russian entities seven all of guards are named including putin's personal friend oleg deripaska he's the billionaire founder of em

group the largest operator of siberian power plants dura pasta made headlines last year for his reported links to paul mann afford trumps former presidential campaign chair seventeen senior russian government officials and one state owned trading company have also been singled out the latest move comes in response to u.s. accusations russia meddled in the twenty sixteen us election its intervention in ukraine malicious cyber activity and its backing of syrian president bashar assad who the u.s. accuses of using chemical weapons against civilians the russian government calls the latest sanctions a mistake and has always denied meddling in any us affairs nobody has been tougher on russia than i have but it took months for trying to get tough on russia he was granted the power by the u.s. congress last summer. but waited until last month to impose sanctions the white

house escalated its response weeks later joining nearly two dozen other countries expelling dozens of russian diplomats and closing a russian consulate in seattle yeah actions were a collective international response to the recent poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in britain still when asked this week if putin was a friend or foe trump replied we'll find out i'll let you know. i mean it will be a time when i'll let you know you know to find out very quickly the white house says despite the new sanctions against russia donald trump has invited vladimir putin for a meeting here in the united states time and date still to be determined kimberly helped at al-jazeera at the white house there's been more volatility on the world markets as the trade fights between beijing and washington rumbles on china says is prepared with what it calls a fierce counter strike that comes after president will trump threaten to slap an

additional one hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on chinese imports cable is on the reports now from new york. so is it a trade war or not for wall street on friday the answer to that question didn't matter it's close enough to being one between china and the united states was enough to send the dow tumbling yet again the third time this week that followed president trump's threat to escalate the dispute even further with an additional one hundred billion in tariffs against china on top of fifty billion already proposed china is angry it's made it clear it will fight the u.s. at any cost. we feel the u.s. action is extremely unreasonable the u.s. is seriously misjudged the situation and taking an exceedingly wrong action the result of this kind of behavior is like picking up a piece of stone and smashing your own foot with it even if the threaten tariffs don't become a reality the rhetoric has left a market volatility in its wake on friday at one point the dow dropped over seven

hundred points the us president told a new york radio station the proposed tariffs could cause some pain but are needed to help us we've already lost a trade war i'm not saying there won't be a little pain but the market's gone up forty percent forty two percent so we might lose a little bit of it but would have a much stronger country what to a finish and that's what i'm all about the trumpet ministration has various officials giving off different signals just on friday the director of the national economic council said this was not a trade war and there's still plenty of time to negotiate with china before the tariffs go into effect but on the very same day the treasury secretary said the tariff threat could lead to a trade war it's that kind of uncertainty that left the markets tumbling and the white house struggling to defend its actions we know that there could be some

fluctuation but at the same time the president has said enough is enough china has to change this illegal and unfair practices. the markets are now closed for the week and nobody is clear where they or this trade dispute will lead. us on to york. still to come here on al-jazeera the white house moves to end the so-called catch and release policy that allows freedom for undocumented immigrants cross their way to court date also ahead. see the issue our way she's being a cry baby in following the legal process just like everyone else minors in zimbabwe are locked in a battle for gold with the former first lady grace mugabe. how

activities. staying in the states donald trump is moving to end the practice known as catch and release now the policy allows immigrants caught in the u.s. without proper documentation to be released while their immigration cases play out through the courts trump is also asking the defense department for a list of military facilities where detained undocumented immigrants could be held ellen fisher from washington. donald trump has been talking about catch and release for a very long time in fact since the election campaign what is it well it is the policy of catching illegal immigrants as they come across the border undocumented migrants is another phrase that people use there held by border patrol or immigration officials their names are taken and then they're released until they get a date for their immigration hearing now donald trump has criticized this law in fact in a tweet just a couple of days ago he called it a dangerous liberal democratic war that he wanted to change and actually dates back

to when george w. bush was in the white house but no donald trump has issued a memorandum to say there must be norm or catch and release now add that to the fact that the department of justice has sent out a memo on friday to see that they want a zero tolerance approach to illegal immigration law longer will people because of phone back across the border but they will face the full might of the american legal system for essentially breaking the law by crossing the border illegally and the fact that we know that the white house is sending a number of national guard troops to the border particularly because of this caravan that is heading through central america through mexico towards the border at the moment but generally to help with border security this is donald trump delivering on election promises to get tough on the border and get tough with the issue of illegal immigration colombia's government is starting to register all of the venezuelans who've come in illegally the u.n. is helping with this ambitious project which its hopes will help the hundreds of

thousands who fled venezuela's economic meltdown alexander m.p.s. he reports now from the border city of cookie cutter. catulus and his family have been living in colombia for three months illegally a lack of medicine and food for their tree year old daughter rosie left him no choice but to leave venezuela when they heard the colombian government was registering migrants in the country without the threat of the. taishan they wanted to be first in line. with sword as an opportunity hoping it will bring us benefit in the future they asked for all their personal information and about a health condition and of the baby in particular. massive numbers of desperate venezuelans have arrived in the past year. the say they could number more than half a million but there's no exact figure that's why it launched the registration look at the name of just give me the money them because we want to know how many migrants there are and in what condition it was so we can measure what services we

can offer and estimate costs because it's very expensive the basics are health and education services. the colombian government has set up more than five hundred registration points like this one across the country they will operate for the next two months this is a major humanitarian emergency especially for a country that has never before had to deal with such a massive influx of migrants the united nations is assisting and says colombia can't be left alone to deal with the exodus that you've got all of us here rival of the venezuelan population is a regional issue it's not only colombian so it's time to start a more coordinated effort across latin america and hopefully this can be the first step. police and soldiers have been the ploys to support the effort oh those being counted include mothers with small children some of the women are pregnant with no money for a room many sleep on the streets you know i don't you know we are all just here

hoping to work to help ourselves and those back home hopefully this will help formalize their situation i'm pregnant she's got five children they're all hungry and cold at night the colombian government has made it more difficult for business where lengths to cross the border but we know in the insight to the troubles in the country thumbing the flow is just one challenge for these and the people. caught up in the crisis listen there. now a surge in violent crime on the streets of london in the u.k. is putting pressure on political leaders and the police on thursday alone five stabbings took place in separate locations within a matter of hours earlier in the week two teenagers was shot while another was stabbed in the north east of the city a dramatic increase in murders prompted london police and community leaders to hold an emergency meeting and put an extra two hundred officers on patrol we have not lost control of the street so i can understand why some people are very worried at

the moment. particularly in some areas of london we've had some ghastly homicides as you know particularly in the last few days including those and really young people that is bound to be very frightened. workers on the philippines resort island aboard a car i say they don't know how they will feed their families after the president roderigo to thirty announced plans to close the island for six months he says the ones pristine location are resembles a cesspool because of over development is there. boruc i may be just one of the more than one thousand islands in the philippines but revenues here make up more than twenty percent of the total tourism industry in the country we've spoken to tourists here who many say they won't even notice the political turmoil that the island is facing with the government but local workers here feel differently obviously that they're not president deter tell you what's going to happen to us i
