run cuba and the bahamas must stick out of his be trying to build in places like mexico or costa rica cheri couple of countries for the next couple of days wednesday and thursday at the same time showers look a bit more likely in jamaica foster his spaniel but mostly still relatively quiet. as we embrace new technologies rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to determine if this closure on the job and investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe death by design on al-jazeera.

this is al jazeera. and i'm jane dutton this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. all of us say we want an independent investigation our resolution achieves that goal russia's does not deadlock at the u.n. as u.s. and russian resolutions on investigating chemical attacks in syria fail to go through. president donald trump well comes and we have catalogs of the white house less than a year after accusing doha of funding terrorism. and i'm sorry. i started facebook i run it and i'm responsible for what happens here under pressure

mark zuckerberg faces members of congress and takes responsibility for facebook privacy breaches. if it does yes. and confirmation from israel its soldiers were caught on camera celebrating after shooting a palestinian man. rival proposals from the u.s. and russia to investigate chemical weapons attacks in syria have failed to pass at the u.n. security council both sides called for new inquiries but a u.s. plan to assign blame was rejected by moscow rescue workers say dozens of people died in a suspected chemical attack on the town of duma on saturday mike hanna reports from the united nations. yet another security council session on syria and yet another veto. the twelfth exercised by russia since the conflict began twelve members were

in favor of a u.s. led proposal to set up an independent body that would investigate chemical attacks and identify perpetrators voters old reconstitute and similarly this is a moment of truth the vote that we are faced with today so i would call upon each of the members of the security council speaking on behalf of france to take proper stock of what is at stake here and to live up to their responsibilities and to the us vote in favor of the american draft resolution as the day was the council continue to splinter a russian proposal for an investigative mechanism fails to get the mind votes needed to pass the u.s. not even needing to veto and an explanation of how it differed in two ways from the u.s. led resolution the key point is our resolution guarantees that any investigations will truly be independent russia's resolution gives russia itself the chance to

choose the investigators and then to assess the outcome there is nothing independent about that. the tone of discussion was no less a serb big than in previous sessions the russian ambassador repeating his assertion that the u.s. and its allies were seeking a pretext to take unilateral action against the syrian government. if you take the decision to carry out an illegal military adventure and we do hope that you will come to your senses well then you will have to bear responsibility for yourselves what you're trying to do is plant the resolutions that has been on the show for a long time in order to find a pretext in the course of the session all members expressed support for the fact finding mission of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or p.c. w which will investigate this past weekend alleged attack the key issue though while the o.p.c. w. is empowered to establish whether or not

a chemical attack took place it has no mandate to identify the state or non-state actors that may have been responsible. for a second russian proposal failed to pass and apparently non-controversial resolution supporting the work of the o.p.c. w failed to get the necessary votes those opposed to pointing out the chemical watchdog was already at work arguing such a resolution was superfluous and at the end of this day so too it appears for the security council. mike hanna of his era united nations robert pearson is a scholar at the middle east institute in washington d.c. also served as u.s. ambassador in turkey joins us on skype from chapel hill in north carolina it's very good to have you with us it's pretty appalling what's happening at the united nations security council isn't it it seems to be more about point scoring then resolving this issue. well there is a distinct difference between the two russian the two resolutions of the american

resolution could fix accountability which is a key element in the russian resolution does not give russia control so i think that's why the russian resolution didn't even get to the point where the u.s. would cast a beat oh so now there's a fundamental difference here accountability is really the basis for moving forward we have to know who did it in order to have the u.n. acting within a decisive intention ok if russia is not keen to find that out what does that suggest about the intentions and where does this leave bashar al assad and the investigation well i think it leaves him with his hands free the way he has been conducting chemical attacks over the last year and the russians are covering for him russian soldiers are now on that territory they said they found nothing so perhaps they've scrubbed the ground so actually i think the u.s. gets great credit for showing that it has gone to do the utmost to have the u.n.

security council act and act responsible so whatever happens next i think the u.s. gets high marks for taking it to a world discussion body and trying to get them to agree on a course of action do you think the u.s. could take a uni natural course of action then and say that the russians are being getting in their way and therefore they can do that. well i think the u.s. would say whatever and i'm not about to predict what or when but i think the u.s. could say that they had tried their best to get a political solution to this but they had made it clear that chemical weapons attacks were not permitted to this is obviously by all the evidence we've been able to see just that kind of attack and so yes i think the u.s. would have as a right. they right to choose a course of action but i'm not here to predict what that would be or when it might be but the fact that the u.n. security council has its hands tied doesn't prevent the u.s. from acting way to think this leaves the united nations security council doesn't

leave it pretty redundant in dealing in the important matters because of the to opposing sides you know the u.n. security council doesn't have a good track record at all in syria because every time there is a moment of decision real decision russia blocks it so i don't blame the u.n. security council and i would say i would hope russia responsible for making it impossible for it to act and it is frustrating it's a sign of futility but the futility of brought on by russia's decision to make sure that nothing happens of a peasant vegas have your time thank you thank you very much thank you the white house is dealing with the gulf diplomatic crisis president donald trump played host to the cattery a man in the oval office tom said the relationship between the u.s. and cattle is working very well as some have are as well from washington. a crucial moment for the emir of qatar gimmes the man who just

a few months ago publicly sided with his country's we gen y. balls but in the white house a clear sign of chopped being turned in march it's a great honor to have the emir of qatar with us a friend of mine before i entered the world of politics he's a great gentleman very popular in his country his people love him we're working on unity in that part of the middle east and i think it's working out very well this country is under blockade by saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain reiterated his commitment to build a strong relationship with washington our economy partnership is more than one hundred twenty five billion and our aim and goal is to go bullet in the next coming years our military. cooperation is very solid very strong as everybody knows that the heart of fighting terrorism is from

a low data base last year donald trump accused qatar alone of financing extremism. he says all of the gulf rivals have a part to play those countries are stopping the funding of terrorism that includes u.a.e. it includes saudi arabia it includes guitar and others who have now become a very big advocate appreciate. the events in syria also near the top of the edge and the u.s. administration is said to be seriously considering as riots following alleged chemical attacks by syrian army in duma on the outskirts of damascus the president and the one in blaming syria's for the atrocity and seventy years of war we can't tolerate with a war criminal record to tolerate will someone who could more than half a million. no pressure on people and this matter ship and the media but u.s.

officials are concerned they own going d.c.c. crisis could undermine a coup dated bush to the syrian conflict still talk of trump leading a summit meeting to the almost year long diplomatic standoff but divisions among the rivals persist this is a significant moment for the emir of qatar months ago president trump singled out qatar accusing it of funding extremism now the emir of qatar is being commanded by the same president and top u.s. military commanders for fighting terrorism and promoting stability in the middle east. or washington d.c. some says he a professor of middle eastern politics at the university of oklahoma he says the u.s. has not done enough to defuse the gulf crisis. mr trump was tweeting and saying quite accusatory and negative things about qatar shortly after the riyadh conference and immediately after the blockade and of course things are very very

different now so i think at the level of rhetoric and symbolics certainly there has been a lot of change however there doesn't appear to be any real movement on the ground in terms of ending this crisis and i think that means that the united states isn't really exerting pressure or significant pressure on saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to resolve this crisis once and for all the saudis and the cuts rees have a different end goal with regard to their image campaigns or what they've been doing diplomatically mahomedan some on is trying to kind of do a search to make over and to sell himself and to put forward a new image of the country overall and yes it is goal in france and in the united states isn't really to resolve this crisis or to focus on qatar that's very different then the emir is efforts as it were which of course the president and the emir spoke about syria and other issues but the primary purpose i think quite understandable is to somehow resolve this crisis and to get back to what relations

were like between the g.c.c. before june fifth two thousand and seventeen israeli minutes has confirmed a video showing an army sniper shooting a palestinian on the gaza border a fantic and says the soldiers involved will be disciplined palestinian say it shows how gazans was shot despite posing no threat to israeli forces then it's with reports from west to receive them. this israeli soldier has in his sights a palestinian apparently unarmed standing a few meters beyond the separation fence the divides israel from gaza just by being there this man is according to israel's military regulations a legitimate target for a sniper the army imposes a minimum one hundred metre buffer zone into garza's territory it's a regulation with no backing in international law the video seems to have been shared on social media by one of the soldiers.

we don't know who the victim is or what he was doing in the time before he was shot israel's military says it happened in december the delight the snipers colleagues take in hitting that target doesn't change the fact that the israeli military won't consider the sniper's actions unlawful but it's according to one human rights group here. we have and keep hearing that anybody who is coming close to there for defense will be shoot anybody who support this if they think in those demonstrations is part of the hamas and they want to destroy israel everybody is a terrorist then what's rationed so totally to me so if the public debate here that is being conducted by the being led by the political level. that level the

showing the palestinian the snow deserving the same rights as any other person. it's not surprising that they think they're in a statement israel's military says the video depicts a short part of the response to a violent riot which included rock hurling and attempts to sabotage the security fence and lasted about two hours during the riot means were taken in order to disperse it including verbal warnings and calls to halt using riot dispersal means and firing warning shots into the air after none of these were successful a single bullet was fired towards one of the palestinians who is suspected of organizing and leading this incident well he was a few meters from the fence he was hit in the leg and injured i don't talk shop but mine a sniper high fines from his buddies has of course devastating real life consequences in the last two weeks in gaza more than fourteen hundred people have been injured by line israeli snipers many crippled for life thirty one people have died.

but it's me out west jerusalem head on the news on clearing sitting uncomfortably the anxiety over whether the u.s. presence poised to fire the special council investigating election that made. a former spies daughter is out of hospital why russia is not happy with the latest move in the poisoning case and in sports most salas record breaking goal for liverpool in the champions league wasn't enough to win the quarter final. the white house is the u.s. president has the power to fire robert mueller the special counsel is looking at accusations of russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election don't trump has described the latest federal investigation into his personal lawyer as disgraceful and a never ending witch hunt had to go hand reports from washington d.c.

. are your white house handlers didn't even wait a sec it shouted reporters out of the oval office before the president could be tempted to answer questions donald trump stayed silent tuesday the night before was a different story they broke into the office going on a long rant about the raid on his lawyer michael cohen's hotel and office. why don't i just find a moment where i think it's a disgrace what's going on and we'll see what happens but i think it's really a sad situation when you look at what happened there many people have said you should fire him that is giving democrats i mean ition to call for new legislation this congress must respond forcefully and on a bipartisan basis by reaffirming our belief that the president cannot fire special counsel without law without cause and by passing legislation to ensure that any attempts to remove robert muller. will be unsuccessful so far republicans have only

gone as far as to warn the president not to act but he is tweeting calling it a witch hunt and posting attorney client privilege is dead it actually isn't but that's what makes the read on cohen so surprising investigators and judges very rarely subpoena attorneys in order to get a judge to sign off the roll say that they have to have evidence that the attorney and his or her clients are actively committing a crime and it has to be signed off on at the highest levels of the justice department at the white house insistence the president has the power to fire the special counsel i know a number of individuals in the legal community and including at the department of justice that he has the power to do so most experts believe that is not true the president can't directly fire special counsel robert mueller but he could try to force the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to do it if he won't try to replace him with someone who will say or he could replace attorney general jeff

sessions with someone willing to close the special counsel's office that would provoke a constitutional crisis putting pressure on congress to step in potentially giving miller even more power and money to pursue his case the president trump clearly feels it's getting closer to him by the day political haint al-jazeera washington facebook founder and chief executive mark zuckerberg has admitted making mistakes as he gave ninety five hours of testimony in the u.s. congress he says he's sorry about the privacy data breach at the social media giant and fishel reports from washington d.c. . ditching his favorite group t. shirts for a suit this was a polish to facebook c.e.o. with a performance to match mark zuckerberg apologize for the massive data breach that impacted if the seven million users worldwide eight we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry but the importance of this

appearance was not lost on me and senator it should be a wake up call for the tech community. we want to hear more without delay about what facebook and other companies plan to do to take greater responsibility for what happens on their platforms with the core issue was summed up with one question from democrat to victor but mr zucker would you be comfortable sharing with us the name of the hotel you stayed in last night. no. mark zuckerberg was called in front of the senate after it was discovered millions of users data was improperly obtained by you key piece political consultancy cambridge analytics the use that information to target ads to help donald trump's presidential campaign and the bricks at referendum in the u.k. the facebook founder says steps will be taken to ensure such a data breach can never happen again but one senator asked if he was ready to follow through on that promise i believe you have all the talent my question is

whether you have all the will to help us solve this problem yes senator do you believe the european regulations should be applied here in the us regardless of whether we implement the exact same regulation i would guess that it would be somewhat different because we have somewhat different sensibilities perhaps the most contentious exchange came when republican ted cruz accused facebook of political bias are you aware of any ad or page that has been taken down from planned parenthood senator i'm not but let me just going to work sorry about move on dot org i'm not specifically aware of about any democratic candidate for office. i'm not specifically aware i mean no i'm not and i'm not sure mark zuckerberg revealed facebook is looking into potential russian links to the cambridge analytical breach and also that the company has cooperated with special counsel robert mueller who's investigating possible collusion between the russians

and donald trump's presidential campaign mark zuckerberg spent the weekend preparing for this appearance and it sure. feels members at a separate hearing on wednesday with the threat of greater regulation for the entire take industry standing on the other side of that performance alan fischer al-jazeera on capitol hill mark douglas is still house a digital display advertising platform for e-commerce marketeers and he joins us from new york thank you for joining us well the stock went up after zuckerberg comments so facebook seems to be doing pretty well out of this is the scot free here doing well it certainly was a great while i was going to say great performance i'm not sure i want to call a performance but it definitely reassured investors that basically facebook can weather this storm i think a lot of numbers are showing that facebook users are continuing to use the platform

pretty much at the same rates they were and obviously wall street responded to that and one of the send senators asked about how facebook makes money it's obviously advertising how will advertising advertisers be viewing what's going on here clearly they won't be spooked off now that. no i mean that was the interesting thing about today's testimony i don't think there's ever been so much transparency around essentially how internet advertising truly works and so that you know it was centrally hours of explaining that and i think that transparency gives advertisers confidence that they can advertise then there won't be a backlash from consumers so i think you'll see the same spend from advertisers and possibly even some increased spend facebook performs really well as an advertising platform for a lot of companies do you think more regulations would be a good thing should be

a good thing. in everyone i think who is aware of the new regulations in europe it's been referred to as g.d.p. are it involves a lot of the slows or just a lot of you know kind of making consumers aware of how their data is being used i think they really. consumers respond well to it apple recently just this week rolled out updates to all the operating systems with you know really highlighting data privacy and how apple apps use your data and i think we're going to see a lot more that i think consumers are going to be encouraged by it so i think that's all good they get it's good for advertisers also and good for facebook again when he was asked about competence is when he couldn't think of one name. well there are five social networks in the world facebook gangs two of them pinterest doesn't even truly consider themselves a social network so that takes it down the four. so actually facebook three if you

include whatsapp so i mean facebook's in a really strong position and consumers go where our users social network users go where their friends are so as long as you know people support the platform and feel truck they feel like they can trust the platform i think facebook will continue to thrive wall street to know that i mean the stock price was rising while he was talking so it was kind of amazing thank you very much mark douglas the daughter of a former russian spy is being discharged from hospital in britain as she recovers from being poisoned yearly or scruple has been taken to a secure location but russia's embassy in london says any plans to resettle her and her father surrogate will be seen as quote an abduction of its citizens britain and its allies blame moscow for the nerve agent attack on march the fourth which the kremlin denies it is cripple remains in hospital we have now discharged from

salisbury district hospital yuliya has asked for privacy from the media and i want to reiterate her request i also want to take this opportunity to wish her well this is not the end of her treatment but marks a significant milestone her father has also made good progress on friday i announced that he was no longer in a critical condition although he's recovering more slowly at the new year we hope that he too will be able to leave hospital in due course northern ireland's been marking the twentieth anniversary of an agreement which ended decades of killings and violence because it's still a time of mixed feelings because of a political deadlock and bricks that uncertainty's to be phillips reports from belfast. the class of ninety eight hold their reunion at queen's university belfast the men and women who made peace a day to celebrate the dramatic reduction in violence that good friday agreement

brought to northern ireland but what else the devolved government that was an essential component of the agreement has not function did over a year where. one key player insisted peace is not at risk institutions will be back on clears the good friday agreement remains the accord which is going to politics on the side and on our agents in the side and and relationships in the and to the for future so i think the future is very bright from the opposite side of northern ireland's divided not a key player said britain's withdrawal from the e.u. should not damage the agreement perhaps it is one thing. if completely different there is no interaction between them all but what is happening at the moment is some people. are trying to use protection to her mind the agree. and i hope that they are successful in doing so later the chief negotiator from the united states

senate said george mitchell and former president bill clinton were honored with the freedom of belfast i will always be grateful that i came to belfast when peace of been made but the city was still troubled when was it good and decent people had to actually make a decision to do the right thing to be the right sort of person to give children the right sort of future. it was a fortunate when. the only here one of the things that they look for are they are the outside pressure needed to bring down the world. that's been celebrated here. i think the all the other day. turned out of the basement is no longer there and that brings. it was a time when as the irish poet seamus heaney wrote hope and history rhymed and

elusive harmony that can never be taken for granted was. bought to be phillips al-jazeera belfast. still coming up. funny you should legalize abortion in argentina is sending people to the streets. and in sports a record run by south africa's cast as a man yeah i think commonwealth games have the details. from the neon lights of asia. to the city that never sleeps. hello the spring won't see is really boosting in china temps is heading towards the thirty mark in hong kong thirty and humid similar sort of story up towards shanghai but that also brings rain with it the rain knocks the

temperature back so shanghai drops as a cloud start to build and the yangtze value looks like seeing well nice to spring rain once again this will be the second bite in the last week south of this it's quite quiet most of the landmass of southeast asia is dry by satellite and in the forecast the shells are increasing in the philippines maybe born is still a ways is drug that has been for weeks if not months and that's true jobbers well in fact although we should be seeing the rainy season start in thailand the next day or so sees mostly a draw in thailand seem obvious a bit wet you'll notice we have there sits a pretty active showers or even proper rain in the northwest of india northern pakistan afghanistan is still there in the cloud as are the obvious showers in the poll bhutan and wanted to break out in india itself now look at the time she is forty forty one this is pretty monsoon heat but really is building again sooner than you might like but we have to bear it because the monsoons don't break for another couple of months showers are still possible for the south well to

particular i think in sri lanka. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. winning the will of the people hinges on the mass media and state p.r. machine it's going to overdrive. but just who is influencing. we just don't know yet where the lines will be drawn between what can be said and what conducted. some journalists decided to sacrifice their integrity for outside polling the media opinion the listening post base time on al-jazeera and the reported world on the. us and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to full dry river beds like this one five years on the syrians

still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their countries have been truly unable to escape the war. again you're watching al-jazeera mind of the top stories rival proposals from the u.s. and russia to investigate chemical weapons attacks in syria have failed to pass at the u.n. security council that funds follows international outrage over suspected chemical attack on the town of duma on saturday the crisis in the g.c.c. and security issues have dominated the meeting between cats to mean hama and the us president at the white house says he's working quote extremely well with cats.

facebook founder and chief. executive mark zuckerberg has finished nearly five hours of testimony before members of the u.s. congress he said he was sorry about the privacy data breach at the social media giant soca berger admits the way facebook connect with other apps was designed in a way that's not at. issue of the abductions of japanese nationals by north korea during the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's will top the agenda during a visit by japan's foreign minister to south korea that of course always expect stars the south korean president to raise the issue when he meets the north korean leader kim jong un later this month japan's prime minister shinzo will raise the issue during his u.s. visit next week trumpet said that he'd be willing to meet north korea's leader in may underline cough is a professor of korean studies or to cook when the university joins us now from seoul very good to have you with us what else do you think will be on the agenda and how important is this meeting well you mean

meeting between president and kim jong un well it's quite clear they're going to talk nuclear weapons and pretty much nothing but nuclear weapons because from the american point of view the only reason why is the u.s. president cares about north korea is north korean nuclear program and especially its missile program last year north korea became the sort of country in the wall after russian change which is chemical or few things that continue until united states use a nuclear warhead dormant from it since well before the elections made promises to prevent north korea from becoming such a country from becoming a country capable of attacking the united states has a nuclear weapons. he introduced unprecedentedly harsh measures which is quite close to him baraka. was supported by the united nations and surprisingly by shana

so north korea now can not sell well they can sell pretty much nothing which is sellable on the international market and there are many talks of possible american military strike so suddenly in moscow to us which used to be quite better cause heart quite hard line began to say just talks of is not scary and sells is sort of the cells kerry is cheney is and of course as united states they're going to talk america's hope to push north to south and all of its nuclear weapons north korea is clearly not going to do there is a massive only card it has to play right absolutely because bizarre nuclear weapons well he is probably debt it is what he believes and it seems to be it is a case because you saw what happened in libya you can like other figure can dislike qaddafi but he's on a strongman in recent history who agreed to surrender his nuclear weapons in the exchange of economic benefits and now. has been approved by the united states is

exactly the same proposal he's not going to accept it he will be quite aware as asli of the situation and they gave us a lot going said this. a compromise may be possible but it largely depends of the united states if they accept freeze or downsizing of their nuclear potential if those hereon say that they're not going to do nuclear tests and missile launchers and it's easy to come through all if this does some of their nuclear material some of them is sile ancients will it's probably view solve the problem for a few years not for ever because vance the less afraid of but the united states once they have more predictable president in the vide halls they will probably it is you but for a few years it's possible to solve the problem and it's better than nothing because if americans keep pressing we probably are going to face city a war under a lot of thank you very much at least twenty people have died during an attempted

prison break in northern brazil it began when gunmen attacked the parameter wall in the northern city of belem they tried to help inmates escape while exchanging fire with police and guards most of those who died were part of the group that staged the attack. need is of colombia's form of fact rebels have accused the us of sabotaging the country's peace process after a key negotiator from the group was arrested has a son trichy was taken into custody by colombian authorities based on drug smuggling charges filed in a us court fact dismissed the accusations saying washington wants to use hundreds to cover up its felled war on drugs in colombia and as rob lesson reports his arrest could cause problems for the landmark peace deal fox signed with the government two years ago. drumbeats in bogota marking what these protesters believe could be the end of colombia's fragile peace deal supporters of the former

when fark wearables put down their weapons reforms as a political party and agreed to stop dealing in drugs park members now can't be prosecuted for drugs offenses committed before the agreement was signed but santry says accused of him. shorting the drugs to the us after the deal was done he had been expected to take up one of ten parliamentary seats which the fark party had been guaranteed supermom and you know this is extremely serious because it sends a very disastrous demoralizing message that creates a lot of uncertainty it's a very bad message for the colombian people for the former combatants and for the peace that our country so badly needs so far the demonstrations have been small but there is now real concern for the future of the peace deal which ended over fifty years of violence in colombia rob matheson al-jazeera. spain's prime minister mariano is in argentina for the first visit of its kind in almost

a decade the crisis in venezuela and the upcoming summit of the americas top the agenda of a meeting between recoil and argentina's president but i see a mockery in sarah's the imprisonment of brazil's former leader the silver was also discussed as a drain as congress has started public hearings on whether or not to legalize abortion a growing demand for changes in the law has led the conservative president likely to soften his pro-life stance at the moment abortions are only legal if the mother's life or health is in danger and when the pregnancy is a result of rape as that is about reports. it's a debate that divides this country deeply and that's why i own to state hundreds of people took to the streets to make their voices heard when i join and i have yes says that abortion needs to be legalized in argentina so that women like her have some type of protection i am poor i hardly make enough money to support my child

and i'm tired of seeing we're living in shelters taking care of children they cannot support and the reason they have them is because there is no education we need a law that would guarantee sexual education that will assist women to get conservatives i will allow women to have an abortion if they don't want that child. abortion is illegal in argentina in most cases but the health ministry says that between three hundred seventy and five hundred thousand clandestine abortions are carried out every year. thousands of women are hospitalized because of complications in the procedure some of them die they're also at risk of being detained. the hearings are going to be on going for over a month when at least one thousand people will have the right to express their views on abortion and the vote is expected to happen in june and it's going to be the first time in this country's history that congress will debate the legalization of abortion. but there are many who are not happy with the possibility of

decriminalizing abortion in the country. they also took to the streets on tuesday. we want to save the mothers but also the babies all lives are important and that's why we're part of life in argentina we defend life not. the hearings include we known doctors journalists and doctors who are hoping abortion will be legalized in the country. against it are members of the powerful catholic church and politicians among others the debate has already polarized argentinean society and he will probably intensify in the months ahead. still ahead on al-jazeera a patch of land to build a makeshift home we follow the assassins of desperate families who fled democratic republic of congo and as for drama stages start a comeback against barcelona in the champions league fara will be here with more.
