when people need to behead women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the world winning documentaries and snivel news are not out to zero i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and online. when the winning the will of the people hinges on the mass media state p.r. machine it's going to overdrive it's. just. been killing saying. we just don't know yet where the lines will be drawn between what can be said and what conduct. some journalists decided to sacrifice their integrity for access the polling the media opinion the listening post base time on al-jazeera.

this is al-jazeera and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha i'm come all santamaria welcome to the news straight after sunday's attack on duma retaliation accusation evacuation a syrian air base has been hits near homes russia says it was israeli jets with five songs meanwhile in the room itself rebel fighters and their families are leaving confirmation that control of the area is now well and. also in the great i had to mean me the palestinian go jail for slapping i am is right the soldier now her supporters have released video of her interrogation by the military they say the verbal threats and intimidation were inappropriate and a question in the legality of interrogating a sixteen year old without a lawyer and checking notifications because facebook said. one out today explaining

what you can do to limit how much almost know about you oh and you might find out if you were one of the millions of people whose daughter ended up in the hands of cambridge analytical as well. and i'm we are starting there's outrage online in australia about the way she have been exploited and cried i'll tell you why connected to the hash tag agent. with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live in al-jazeera dot com we are starting with syria multiple strands to pull out but all of them inevitably are linked in some way first the big accusations coming from russia and syria that it was in fact israel which carried out an air strike on a military base in central syria they say fighter jets struck the tires space in homes killing several people for its part israel actually hasn't responded but it has previously said that this site was controlled by iranian forces which are

allied with syria the strike happened hours after at least forty people died in a suspected chemical attack in eastern guta we've got the u.n. security council due to discuss that one in a few hours time there was the rebels' last stronghold near damascus but they are now leaving as part of a russian sponsored deal in exchange the rebels will release prisoners of war there you've got all the various headlines out of syria xenophobia has more now specifically on those departures from duma. they are leaving from the last rebel pocket in eastern who. has surrendered up to eight thousand fighters from the rebel group and more than forty thousand of their family members and anyone else who wants to leave are being bussed out of the city the russian military has given them safe passage to rebel held areas in northern syria as part of a deal that also involved. releasing all of its prisoners many of them held for years and among them women and children they arrived at

a government controlled crossing late on sunday. the deal came after a suspected chemical attack in the city that killed dozens of people doctors and rescue workers saying many of the victims suffocated informed at the mouse symptoms indicative of exposure to some kind of chemical agent damascus and its backer moscow dismissed the claims as fabrication it isn't the first time chemical weapons are believed to have been used by the syrian government against civilians hours after the attack agreed to return to the negotiating table it wasn't clear why the initial collapse on friday but when it did the pro-government alliance launched an all out military offensive to pile pressure on the rebel group the evacuation deal reached or what amounts to a surrender is similar to the agreement with two other rebel factions and. gave up after a fierce bombing campaign. was hoping for

a different deal that would allow it to remain in control of duma but under the overall jurisdiction of the government that didn't happen what they did manage to get is a guarantee that russia's military police will enter the city and those who chose to stay won't be harassed or detained by state security forces much of duma is now rubble the largest urban center in the eastern suburbs of damascus has been a target since opposition fighters captured the area in two thousand and thirteen. it was the main hub of anti-government protests close to the capital and from there rebels were able to threaten the government seat of power by frequently launching rockets into neighborhoods. seven years later the pro-government alliance is declaring victory but the seven week offensive killed nearly two thousand civilians this is the worst defeat suffered by the opposition since the fall of aleppo in late two thousand and sixteen senator as his leader beirut summit go back to that

attack on the military base and ties this is the one rusher is blaming israel for we heard from mahmoud the little bit earlier a retired jordanian air force general who's actually calling that attack a military failure. the biggest base in syria got like fifty four shelter for a two two runways but the way to do such business if you want to really make this base in a positive you must have air campaign aircraft on top of the airfield the really. otherwise there would repaired it in about four or five hours and they would be back on the air again so the mission is not very successful if it is an act of war but i don't think the israeli strategy is working regarding. iranian influence or hezbollah or you know to stop sort of logistical base or transfer.

to hezbollah i don't think the russian or the syrian or anybody would retaliate on that as we see the the chemical thing god and the security council will really paralyze so it is will be business as usual i said will still stay in carrying his chlorine attack probably if there was another agent like syrian or something like that then we possibly see another attack from the us or something of that as for the attack on duma on sunday u.s. defense secretary james mattis isn't ruling out anything in response and that includes military action he made the comments as he met cutters and mia for talks at the pentagon and shift i mean been hammered out then he will meet president donald trump on tuesday on a side note there of course ten months since for arab countries cut their trade and diplomatic ties with qatar but we're going to focus on what james madison said about syria hashem is in washington following events there talk us through exactly

what mr matters is suggesting that could happen. come out a military operation against president bashar assad is an option on the table but i think this particular stage the americans are trying to identify whether this was a chlorine gas or chemical attack before moving forward the second step would be to consult with key allies and i think this is going to be the most critical point before making a final decision about whether or not to go ahead with a military option for example president trump is going to meet a model with the emir of qatar shift i mean but have a fanny and talk about syria as you know has been a very quick critical of bashar assad saying that the only way to solve the crisis is for bashar assad to go but i'll tell you his party's foreign minister posted a strong statement on his twitter attack on his twitter account denouncing the

attack saying that. seeing civilians killed in a chemical attack by a shuttle is a test for the international community and for the multilateral institutions which have to act to get their act together but the same time as you know the americans will have to listen to other key allies in the region like saudi arabia and saudi arabia has some sort of turnaround about syria they've been saying in the past it's muscle as such it should go but recently the crown prince one hundred percent man has been saying that russia is staying in power they will also talk to the turks turks very clear about the crisis they want to shout out to go now comes to keep players in the region also russia has been very instrumental is a key player in the region and they have been saying that this should be no attack targeting president bashar assad the iranians also have huge levers in syria they're providing significant military and political assistance for bashar as a vis key players this big complex political landscape is what the americans have

to navigate through before coming up with a final decision about how to go forward that is hasham a whole bar in washington d.c. thank you for that hashem in amongst the politics in the retaliation we mustn't lose sight of course of the victims of the chemical attack this piece by far on the john from al jazeera dot com it is tough to read i would still recommend of the first hand accounts of what happened in duma for example this court here when we arrived to the roof of the building i was helping out i saw the lifeless bodies of a mother in her fifty's two of her adult daughters and a child with their arms around each other all foaming at the mouth it's just awful awful accounts of what's happened there if you search for syria's chemical attack al jazeera dot com you'll see that in the rest about syria coverage of course. and you can get in touch with us if you'd like as well the hash tag is a genuine good contact details on screen i've already had a couple of little messages through. back him who's watching from does israel really care about this accusation well we know at this stage that israel hasn't

responded but it has said in the past that this area was where they were. iranian forces and of course we know the relationship between israel and iran you can send your comments in to us people also talking about the un security council's responsibility to find out who's behind all of this and to invite some sort of inroads to talk i believe nineteen hundred g.m.t. which is about four hours from now facebook dot com slash al-jazeera that is where you can watch the live streaming comment as you go to what's happening there is plus nine hundred forty five or one triple one four nine. moving on supporters of the jailed palestinian teenager had to mimi have released footage of her being questioned by israeli military authorities going on i mean i have well i say ok let me. say ok so you've got two male interrogators leaning towards the sixteen year old they are making comments about her fair skin and eye color as well the back story here of course to me detained in december after being filmed slapping an

israeli soldier near her home in the occupied west bank she has accepted a plea deal which will see her imprisoned for eight months. thank god i think. ok me you know what i'm thank you so much. ok you know we. know you're going on i mean i have well i say. let me. say. if you've got the questions on the story good time to send them in because we are going to be speaking to our guest about that in just a moment before that this report from mohamed jhoom in ramallah. according to supporters of opposite to me me and members of the free the to me means campaign this interrogation that is shown in this video took place ten days after the arrest of acted to mimi and her supporters say that this video exposes abusive tactics

used against the seventeen year old in attempts to coerce her into a confession there is a point in the video in which you see these two male israeli interrogators and hear them speaking to me referring to the color of her skin and the color of her eyes we spoke at the mimi's father bassam after this press conference he said that that was entirely inappropriate and abusive behavior and the something like that should never take place her father also spoke about the fact that there was no lawyer present in that interrogation room and that that goes against international law now other members of her defense team and her supporters have said that this video really showcases the plight of palestinian children minors who were arrested by israeli security forces shows they say the abusive tactics that they must face when

they are interrogated by israeli security forces one member of her team also said that this was the first time that he had ever seen a military interrogator involved in an interrogation of a minor not just a police interrogator he said that that was very disturbing now her family says that they have lodged complaints with the israeli government since they obtained this video and that while they will continue to pursue it they don't expect much to happen. ok here's that would use if now the advocacy and lobbying coordinator at the at the mia prison supporting human rights association is in ramallah for us we thank you for your time i'm just reading some comments of yours from al jazeera dot com a little bit earlier today you calling this essentially a textbook example of interrogation tactics we see used against palestinian children can you give us some background to that how many children are we talking about and what sort of ages so last year we saw

about one that we saw one thousand four hundred sixty seven palestinian children are arrested now that doesn't mean that they've gone all the way through to the sort of final sentencing but that does mean that they've been born into a police station and they have been sat down with sort of police offices the the ages range from twelve any child younger than that does not sort of get in and brought into the process but we see them range from twelve and then from sixteen above the israelis essentially consider them adults and treat them as such i know this is a. military court but understanding about how well this could play out in the future you have you know interrogation of of a teenager without a lawyer. it's happening under occupation as it's a part of the military all these factors seem to come together into something which is very much stacked against in this case a sixteen year old girl. yes so the military caught in the military justice system is not something that comes synonymous with

justice if anything it is truly represents a sort of tool of the occupation and is is a way to kind of disenfranchise further i mean you don't need any more proof than the fact that boy if a lawyer is not there and there is a military prosecutor and there is evidence of sort of sexual assault or sexual sort of abuse in this that that can still be used as evidence against someone especially a child in a court is really indicative of the fact that you know this this does not point towards justice or seek justice it seeks sort of suppression and how do the israelis tend to respond to these as you've said there are plenty of other situations of palestinian children who are treated similarly how do they respond to the actions which other people look at and say well that's not how it should be happening so very rarely will the israelis actually come out and say ok yeah we've messed up the thing about it is that in the

military orders specifically pertaining to children we've got military orders sixteen forty four and sixteen seventy six and in these military orders there are sort of side provisions there are provisions that allow for for say a judge not to be consulted you know the wording for most of these provisions is zero if if the judge thinks that this will inhibit the investigation or if the interrogator thinks this will inhibit the investigation then you know they don't have to necessarily follow the process so despite the fact it's quite rigidly written down there are sort of little loopholes that both investigators and sort of army staff know very interesting talking to you dode use of joining us from ramallah thank you for the. this is a back story to this from the listening post tonic now for his report on the case the coverage and the in conservation all had to maybe interesting factor raised by one of the guests in this feature is how does it really seem to fit the israelis stereotype of what palestinians city what palestinian protesters look like the

listening post it is in the show's section at al-jazeera dot com you can just search for her name ahead tamimi more coming up on the grid from us here in the house shortly first though a check on some other international news headlines with the clock. girl you very much an idiot first a former south korean president lee myung bak has been indicted on several corruption charges he's been accused of corporate tax evasion embezzlement and taking bribes the success of prague when he was sentenced to twenty four years in prison for corruption on friday kathy novak is in so she has more. lee myung bak was president between two thousand and eight and two thousand and thirteen and these corruption charges are linked to his time in office he is accused of bribery embezzle meant tax evasion and abuse of power it's alleged he improperly received about ten million dollars from institutions including south korea's spy agency as well as the country's biggest conglomerate samsung he's been

in detention since he was arrested last month and in that time has refused to be questioned by prosecutors but in the past he has denied the charges against him saying that his arrest was a politically motivated leak comes from the opposite side of politics to the current liberal president moon j n in the past he has also apologized for causing concern among the south korean public he now becomes the fourth former south korean president to face trial over corruption allegations his arrest his indictment comes just days after former president packin hay was sentenced to twenty four years in her corruption trial accused found guilty rather of abuse of power and bribery amongst other charges iran's president has criticized donald trump over his repeated threats to withdraw from the two thousand and fifty nuclear deal reached with world powers son rouhani said his u.s. counterpart had failed to destroy the deal as iran munches national nuclear day

analysts talked of all bone fatigue left wing activists fulton energized opposition would strike a blow to victor all bands power they were wrong maybe now i'm starting to look i mean our country hungry is still not there where we would like it to be but it's already started to go the way that it chose for itself we're going to go together this way in victory or been declared himself the defender of traditional hunger in values a familiar theme the enemy mainly muslim refugees poised to invade despite a large fence built on hungary's southern border in defiance of brussels also those who enable the pro immigration n.g.o.s and independent media. he's changed the constitution before how far might victor all ban be prepared to go now it's really on for seeable i mean i'm pretty sure that you will go against civil society organizations you try to shut them down you probably try to limit their finances i

think he will go against independent media outlets would still exist in the country and i also think that he might go against the independent judiciary. there's a name for viktor all bands system of government he calls it a liberal democracy it's basically the primacy of populist nationalism over individual freedoms and along with popular economic policies half the voters of this country support it those who don't are in for a troubling four years but he just isn't a bust choice for us because they are. everyone's in hungary the out in respect to people in hungary and they think they can do anything the hungry the hungry and people. like very much like these people from oregon. in the sun outside hungary's impressive neoclassical parliament building on the banks of the danube a million. it is on constant parade where once an e.u.

flag flew there are now hand banners invoking nostalgia for a lost imperial past. these are all innovations in a country cementing its place as a standard bearer for rightwing nationalism in europe jonah how al-jazeera budapest and without that sit there for us in london now it's back to camilla nick thank you for that it's just having a look at some of your comments coming in particularly on the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera tells me thank you for writing in quite a long coming out go through they're getting complicated by the way this is to do with syria bashar al assad may go and so should all other corrupt unrepresentative domestic rules of the middle east he says the regime change mantra though is dangerous regime may be changed by the people in a given country not by outsiders no they aren't proxies and it does make you think as well that all of this in syria seven years of war did start with protests on the street against bashar al assad part of what we called the arab spring back in two

thousand and eleven that was certainly people power then syria there has been vastly different of course to any of the other countries we've seen in the middle east since two thousand and eleven i would say i do keep the comments and questions coming in that is the what's that number there is well that work on telegrams where you can join our our group on telegram to share your thoughts there the hash tag on twitter and facebook is a.j. news grid this is the news good from al-jazeera if you're joining us on facebook live is going to story coming up for you know about an innovative solution to plastic solutions which are seeping into our oceans that's from our friends at aging us and then later and unregulated source of pollution new efforts to help clean up the environment by targeting cargo shipping it's a really interesting one we'll have that and the headlines in just a. hello

the rain that was in iran two days ago is still falling but now. on this same frontal system just on the edge of your screen behind the tolls not completely cotton there are some bright top clouds here indicate hail storms showers of rain largely in beirut in lebanon and syria and i think significantly in southern turkey and if anything this generation this circulation might produce rather more wavering in northern iraq northern syria and something to eat and there's the cloud bands still there were down through kuwait bahrain and qatar and the society it's got the potential to generate one to thunderstorms but i think most of potential has now been spent now that's a cloudy picture quite a dusty one more recently from the gulf states we think the wind is dropping is that slightly improved come wednesday there's still fairly regular shastri out the tropics but once again we generated quite significant rain in namibia botswana and

south africa what topped clouds here again unfortunately not so much for cape time but go to the east i want to get focus around you have this burg that's the area where showers about to build during tuesday and wednesday they fade but it's still wet in mozambique. i'm counting the cost why the gender pay gap matters as the u.k. names the company's web page more than women the new blood diamonds found that electric cars and small phones plus facebook c.e.o. gets ready for some big questions. counting the cost just. a story fourteen hundred years in the making. a

story of succession and leadership. the story the foundation and the emergence of an empire. the caliph episode one. zero.

the headlines for mountain zero dot com and what's trending as well in sin story at the top there somalia seizing nine point six million dollars from u.a.e. playing not to the arguments in mogadishu the latest there and it to me as well as we told you about a little bit earlier and russia and syria blaming israel for that strike in syria if you're looking for something new something different heads around syria dot com top right hand corner what's trending this. monday. now after all of facebook dramas over the past few weeks the social network has taken some steps to try to become more transparent it is in some ways shutting the

gate after the horse has already bolted but facebook is now revealing which of its users have their personal information harvested by cambridge and a little. history this one how they're going to tell us all this right well so they're going to put a notification on your facebook page so if you use facebook you may have already received a notification on your news feed from facebook itself the social media company announcing it's reaching out to all of its two point two billion users starting on monday the link will show up at the top of your feed and it's called that title at the top protecting your information there are two types of messages i explain that a second now the message is meant to provide information on which apps facebook user use uses an. what information they have shared with other apps and it will walk you through how to stop apps individually or simply turning off third party access altogether now facebook is doing all of this as a reaction to last month's data scandal involving the u.k. based political firm cambridge analytic up the company which is linked to donald

trump's presidential campaign is accused of accessing the personal information of millions of facebook users now if your personal information was compromised facebook will be sending you a specific notification about that as well eighty seven million people are expected to get that detailed message informing them that their data may have been leaked to cambridge analytic now there's been some chat about this online as you could imagine a user here said so faith spoke is going to send messages to everyone affected by cameras that's cool when will they send a message to every single person who's data has been sold because that would be anyone with an account he says now elaine here tweeted saying not there's not much of a point in sharing with people on their news feed if their data was given to cambridge analytic a if they've already already deleted their account she's mentioning the hash tag delete facebook which was trending last week and indeed there are more and more

people deleting facebook like steve was who co-founded apple with steve jobs he just announced that he's abandoning the platform because of its exploitation of people's data now if you want more information on all of this facebook has a page to try to help you and to explain this to you you can search for it on facebook dot com slash policy and read all of their pointers here on what to do know if you've received a notification saying that your information was given to cambridge analytic a do let us know you can write me directly at leo harding age ethan user hash tag news grid or you can write us as seen on whatsapp or telegram. his from just going to penta and. you professor in the department of communication business and information technology the at roskilde university and denmark those joining us from rome today so eighty nine million people are going to get a little message from facebook saying all sorry your information went to cambridge and the list is there is there any real point to this whole exercise i

mean you should concede that really what is happening is that facebook is in crisis communication mode. so they want to appear sympathetic they want to appear responsive even proactive. and so the. devise a strategy of trying to inform the uses and. slightly change their practice the reality is the soon enough they're going to go to their usual strategy which is that of doing as little as they can only where necessary and when this area saw probably we're going to a year more news from facebook try to kind of apiece the attention to the reason from the this crisis but very soon if greater forces don't work towards changing their practices and by the way not only facebook coming the other companies that i've indiscriminately collected i've listed all possible data set by the users very

little is going to change their business model doesn't really leave much leeway for them to change path i joining my voice to the one of other kind of experts that really say that if facebook really wants to be transparent if really they want to be forthcoming if they really want to change for the greater good of to kind of improve their service really they should join and they should kind of try to add that their strategy base for example one thing them both suggest to the listeners is to look up for the general data protection regulation that is going to become effective in europe in may now this regulation is a set of laws and articles that are forcing businesses to treat users data according to very specific standards facebook us all other companies school and all

other companies that collect huge amounts of data in from a day we'll have to abide to these standards and they can be controlled they're trying. parents see it's not going to be just the self-regulatory act they're going to have to abide to these standards so i think that it's good that facebook is forthcoming with this information but i think it's very legal and it's just part of these crisis communication strategy emotionally done francesca le pen to great to get your thoughts that you cut it off so much there for us thank you very much for joining us there from rome today there is a really interesting piece here at al-jazeera dot com which i just found today was posted about a week ago it's called what google and facebook know about you it is the work of a web developer called dylan curran who wrote one of freak itself out i'm going to show you just how much of your information the lights of facebook and google store about you without even realizing it and that's what he did he did it through a series of tweets and it's been aggregated here it is in lightning and frightening

what google and facebook know about you have a look for that at al-jazeera dot com. now as we've been reporting for the past couple of wake thousands of palestinians are protesting along the borders of the gaza strip as part of the great march of return movement they want to be able to return to the villages and homes they were expelled from by the israeli government and smith has the support now from west jerusalem though on how this narrative is reflective in the country's hebrew language media. most israelis get their news from television and newspapers and this is how they've seen garza's march of return a lot of focus has been on hamas here there's no mention that those taking part from a cross-section of gaza society. on the sleeve. securely well at least you know no mention in this report the most of the demonstrators were peaceful or of what has prompted this apparently you approach to protest in gaza. i

think the media is reflecting that they're calling them peaceful protests the problem is you're not going to convince the israeli public of anything peaceful coming out of hamas maybe it's peaceful out of friday but saturday sunday monday tuesday wednesday and thursday it's going to be back to the hamas violence israel's massacre newspapers in print and online have largely maintain the government's narrative israel today uses an army quote in its headlines it says we will not allow the hamas protests to become the norm another popular newspaper getting off not terror disguised and hamas up to friends against photographs of protesters in costumes and only all of the newspapers only the left leaning haaretz quotes directly gars officials in its headline with the last friday it says nine people killed three hundred injured by live fire and it has an op-ed in that a toil by

a contribution with the headline closed heart referring to. close hard since the killing of gaza journalist. was covered by one of the main channels. in a report that carried a lot of input from other palestinian journalists. with the daily constant the short and i thought i'm sure glad you noticed the short. there's less coverage from the palestinian perspective and there are no israeli journalists in gaza a couple of hours after this report add up israel's military said it will investigate the deaths of people it considers civilians including photographer. bernard smith al-jazeera west jerusalem. the family of the us journalists killed while covering the war in syria is suing the syrian government marie colvin was killed in two thousand and twelve while reporting on the siege in homs for

britain's sunday times newspaper it's thought this would be the first time the assad government has faced court action anywhere in the world arising out of this seven years of war alan fisher has the story now from washington d.c. . recall them was a well known and hugely respected foreign correspondent who spent time in conflict zones she wore a distinctive eye patch the result of an injury when a grenade exploded while reporting in sri lanka she was killed in homes in twenty twelve the early days of the syrian civil war know a new lawsuit lodged in court in washington d.c. alleges she was deliberately targeted by senior syrian government figures the documents they were submitting into evidence illustrate that the regime really at the highest level had adopted a policy of launching joint military and intelligence operations against media workers and their sources and this included both foreign journalist syrian journalist media activist even everyday syrians that were you know recording a demonstration on their cell phone. colvin was an american citizen she was buried

near where she grew up in new york state her family are behind the lawsuit foreign governments normally can be sued in u.s. civil court but there are exceptions for countries designated by the state department sponsor of terrorism syria is comely on that list her sister says she thinks of marie every day if filed the lawsuit as soon as we could collect enough evidence to prove that ray had been targeted and i really did that one of the motivations was personal and like i just talked about but i also wanted to bring attention to the suffering of the syrian people for all the pain that my family's gone through their thousands and thousands of syrians who have suffered in the same way one of the key pieces of the lawsuit is the testimony from a former syrian intelligence agent could named ulysses who confirmed the idea of targeting colvin was discussed and agreed at the highest level among those also

lodging testimony with the court former us ambassador to syria robert ford it is important. to record their own judicial manner. for oppressive acts the kinds of war crimes that the syrian government committed and the family is hoping there will be no hearing and the judge will simply make a recommendation for damages against the city and state the only reaction from damascus syrian president bashar al assad one said marie colvin got what she deserved alan fischer al-jazeera washington we're going to look at the shipping industry now which of course varies everything from food to cars to gadgets but is also one of the world's biggest polluters has now outside of the u.s. withdrawal every country on earth has joined the twenty fifteen paris climate change deal which is great obviously but the shipping industry has been free to continue business as usual escaping ties or emissions regulations that soon may

change though that clock has more. from computers to close to children's toys it's estimated that nine out of ten consumer items filling the shelves of the world's shops get there by ship but ships use some of the lowest grade most polluting fuel there is emitting not just c o two but poisonous gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide indeed if this shipping industry was a nation it would be the sixth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world well this week nations are meeting at the international maritime organization to try and draw up a strategy to eliminate carbon pollution there are proposals to cut emissions at least fifty percent by twenty fifty this fall short of the seventy to one hundred percent reductions that european and pacific island states say is needed and that figure is strongly opposed by nations like brazil india and saudi arabia who have raised economic concerns and then what alternatives are there well ocean going

ships only powered by renewable energy may be some way off yet but all electric ferries are even now at sea in scandinavia the future is already here or at his fire goddess of now the shipping officer at an environmental organization called transport and environment live in london nice to have you with us it seems peculiar to me in the first place that the shipping industry was escaping these sorts of. standards the lights which we see in the parrot climates record because there are there are thousands of ships all over the world they are on the move all the time everything you know big is moved around like that or indeed paris agreement there's no explicit the reference shipping but they claim it is quite clear to achieve the temperature cause of one point five degrees or two do base a pre-industrial levels all natural which any actual sources of emissions must be eliminated and that includes shipping as well. i've got

a list of countries or i'm just having a quick look at my notes argentina brazil china ecuador india nigeria saudi arabia south africa turkey who have all argued for no absolute cap on shipping emissions let alone any sort of reduction i mean that doesn't that put everything on the whole on the back foot to start with when you've got that much opposition. those countries have been arguing that if we put a long term objective if we put a cap on shipping emissions this would hurt international trade but the science tells us otherwise we have all the scientific evidence to see that suggests that shipping can actually decarbonise without impacting global trade we have reports from u.c.l. los vegas the famous. classification society as well as always see the report we keep which came out two weeks ago which suggests that shipping can actually route decarbonise fully by twenty thirty five am and he has technology that its disposal

for example we have hydrogen fuel cells ammonia battery electric propulsion this can be used by shipping to eliminate its carbon impact while at the same time servicing global trade all sounds expensive to me though those sorts of technologies and that's the type of thing which people will always argue oh we can't do it it's too expensive and also there would be interest groups who would want to see carbon fuel ships carrying on. well that's true at this stage at the earliest stage of decarbonise ation process this alternative fuels alternative propulsion technologies are more expensive compared to the dirty old technology is why first of all current shipping fuel is tax exempt it's very dirty it's a sludge it's the bottom of the barrel of the refining process and it does not take into it does not cover the course externally my mental course and that's why it is so much cheaper can pay to zero emission alternatives but this can change what

needs to be done is. there needs to be a political will to agree on a long term reduction objectives and put measures in place to incentivize shipping companies to switch to zero emission alternatives just quickly if i do think this is something which can gain some traction when we think about carbon emissions it's always things like carbon footprints when you're flying or it's about cars you know switching to electric shipping is not something we hear a lot about do you think you can gain some some traction. well certainly you are absolutely right we don't think about in our daily lives we don't really think about shipping because we don't see ships you know we do the lives it's not like cars or planes that we use but shipping you are right absolutely at the beginning of the mission that we have almost nine out of ten consumer products are delivered to consumers using shipping services what needs to be done is we need to educate a population we need to have outreach to or to people who use shipping services.

and inform then the impact this will have on the climate change as well as on their health as well as environment this is one issue on the other hand we need to bring published city to the fact that shipping has so far since nine hundred ninety seven since the kyoto protocol and shipping has escaped regulation climate regulation are after twenty years of inaction i am only recently started discussing shipping emissions and after a week long intense discussions that we had last week we still have a huge ambition gap between what is needed to ship paris temperature goals and what the large countries you mentioned earlier are prepared to commit for five years of this really interesting topic actually i'm glad you could join us to talk about it thank you. and just to stay with the ship in use as it were a vessel due to carry more than fifty thousand sheep to the middle east from australia has been blocked from leaving the secret video emerged of distressed animals dying and struggling to breathe in filthy conditions leah do we need what

we call a health warning i guess in the industry on this for of us who might be a bit sensitive and definitely a viewer warning about what we're about to see it's pretty gut wrenching footage actually the pictures of the sheep in people's reaction to it is one of the top conversations in australia at the moment this is the video that was shot on board a ship carrying livestock showing thousands of sheep packed together in small pen surrounded by their own waste the footage was filmed over five trips last year to qatar kuwait and oman from australian ports and was released by the activist groups animals australia in total twenty four one hundred sheep died including lambs and the bodies were then thrown overboard the whistleblower who filmed this video shared his story with a t.v. news program sixty minutes about why he did it. see a lot of. good young lambs.

being classed under the feet of the most. so. just listen to him they say who it is some this is going to be best to. leave with something more use them in. the conversation has continued about this online people are using the hash tag ban live exports to share their thoughts on what is happening here byron he tweeted saying that all those involved in this cruel sadistic trade should be jailed i'm disgusted to call myself an ozzie if these types of people are associated with this horrible money making racket now that outrage has gone global there's a rally scheduled in israel against inhumane live shipments are also different petitions online that you can sign now earlier we spoke with lyn white the strategic director of animals australia who had this to say. well over one hundred

thousand emails have been sent to politicians calling for an end to the tried i think people feel very just saved i feel a grave death has been to save just to stand on board ships and none of us are striving. to make anything but ashamed to have and i'm connected with this trite and setting such a poor example when these days it is so much more practical in terms of animal welfare so much more humane to be sending boxed mate home flocks and on ships to other countries rather than sending animals or three wakes on stressful jennings from the australian winter to the heat humidity in the middle east this has to be a game changer and i think that when the eyes and seamus heaney importing countries realize that these are the conditions that animals are enduring thanks to what stride australian agriculture minister david little proud said that he had quote constructive talks with the shipping and destry to improve the standards in

livestock trade he also said that banning livestock export live export rather is not an option but said he does plan to have a whistleblower hotline up and running by the end of this week we want to hear from you especially if you're in australia about what you think of this you can join in on our conversation with the hash tag jane it's good and it's leah let's have a good news story share with made some of those occasionally a jordanian restaurant that's provided thousands of free meals to homeless people so successful it is now expanding what started as an idea to help one man is now transforming an entire community has been tough on him reports from a mom. mahmoud noble seen wanted to find a way to help the poor mobilize jordan's youth and support rural women but when he shared his ideas with others they were dismissive he decided to press on anyway he founded what he calls a social solidarity restaurant in amman offering free meals to those who can't

afford one it's called as whitey and means my support system in arabic but that's the idea of where we can support the social fabric within the. society the restaurant is run solely by volunteers most are young women and college students paying customers purchase what's called an invite write a message and it's posted on this board of kindness noble see says it's intended to preserve the dignity of those getting the free meals and also make a connection. the people here treat us well there is the respect between the clients and the customers. in the last three years thousands of people have been able to enjoy good food for free especially with what's going on in jordan and syria with having to support so many refugees and that it really is great and it's nice when you come to place and you're able to support the community and all the food is sourced locally and bought from women in rural areas. volunteers say they

love giving back and are also learning about entrepreneurship bush says no one cares that she's a syrian refugee. that's a problem with my nationality i work with the french companies they're treated. kind of in that. way so i would love to be with people they accepted me as i am as what he has been such a success it's expanding later this month the doors were open here at a second restaurant it's about an hour's drive outside of the capital in a town that's struggling the founder not only wants to keep growing across jordan but in other countries as well as as what he has thrived suit to has the surrounding area once dilapidated this is now a colorful stretch of small businesses and perhaps most importantly with people

putt to become mostest champion of the was and honestly i felt like. a lot of pressure is kind of lifted and kind of taken off of me because you know the fans yes for chair for me but they're you know some of them are more for rory and you know same time he had a lot of the guys you know picking him to win over me and it's just how all sings that the more kind a you know chatter you have in your ear about expectations and everything the harder it is to play golf and you know i just kind of went out there and tried to try to play golf the best i could and try to stay in the moment not worry about everything else he's not scared. i think you guys of you know seen that previously from from the ryder cups and the way he plays you know places he's not scaring off or so you know play aggressive and you know play his game you won't back down i

eligible to compete and that's the selection standards for for the games well let's see what's emerging through the reasoned prism of social media for the world's strongest man finalist warren brown saying this is a man a cheat and a disc rice but many are applauding hubbert's example this from a kirsty miller in australia laurel you made me cry you may not have won gold but you won the hearts of so many your bravery has humanized the hate against transitioning and transitioned athletes almost sports with far at eighteen hundred g.m.t. but for now i will hand you back to come on thank you any other big story new zealand a lot of people really behind these commonwealth games that'll do it for you newsgroups that's how you get in touch with us whether it be twitter facebook what's that use the hash tag a.j. news grid see you back here in studio fourteen a bouncy roughly fifteen hundred hours g.m.t. to mark.

quake damaged her family's apartment and the government moved them to distant shack around seventy families who lost their homes in that earthquake still live in this camp say i'm going to be up at the gallop the government raised our hopes and then abandon us politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand eight hundred five but the cost and complexity of housing hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government failed. getting to the heart of the matter if well stuff i can gee that social security bill calls you today and says let's have told us would you accept facing realities what do you think reunification would look like there's a lot of people think the peace for an infusion is the only option for prosperity to. hear their story on talk to al jazeera.
