test the new boundaries. and i'm tatiana sanchez with the day's sport including another upset in europe at the talent team last year and not out in the shop perhaps said in the europa league i'll have more later in the program. welcome to the news hour tensions are building evermore between the u.s. and russia over washington's threat to attack syria's government in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack russia has requested another emergency meeting of the u.n. security council late on friday to discuss the possible u.s. led strikes u.s. defense secretary james mattis appears to be playing down expectations of imminent attacks reflecting concerns that a bombing campaign could trigger a wider conflict and syria's government says it's allowing the fact finders from the world's chemical watchdog into duma to investigate the alleged gas attack last

weekend. well our correspondents in aqaba is monitoring developments from across the border in lebanon we'll be live to her in a moment but first let's get the very latest from roy chalons in moscow and really so many moving parts to this story at the moment and we need to perhaps focus all on what russia may say and do next in response to how america is reacting. you know nothing as each day ticks by with no u.s. strikes against targets in syria russia is basically maintaining the message that it has been putting out for a while now which is that of course it's the united states which is the destabilizing entity here and it's russia which is advocating for a proper investigation to find out the truth of what happened in duma last weekend so the foreign ministry has been saying earlier on today that we believe the united

states should play a more constructive role under the circumstances in order to get away from this kind of inflamed and tense situation considering the extremely volatile situation fraught with risks they say we're trying to use the available channels convince our opponents that they should cool off and use the instruments of practical interaction and the universal mechanisms created for defusing inflammable situation so the russian perspective here is that you want to talk to the united states and get this this hotheaded situation back down to a manageable temperature of course i think as i was saying as each day goes by without a military strike from the united states i think russia is probably feeling more comfortable with the situation it's had time now to gets it's more vulnerable assets to safety in syria and also for its syrian and iranian allies to

move their assets into more protected situations which means that when a strike does come if it comes in the damage that it does will be limited and certainly i think the russians are believing hoping that they will get from the united states military some sort of advance warning through the d. confliction hotline some sort of. a list of targets which again words lower the damage factor imposed on syria and russia and make this from russian hopes at least much more of a kind of cosmetic strike from the united states rather than anything actually properly punitive we'll leave it there for now rory of course come back to that situation develops in course over to our other correspondents who joins me now from the lebanese capital beirut and of course you know this all centers around an apparent chemical attack in duma what's the situation on the ground right now

because we do believe that russian military personnel are there in control paving the way for those. c w personnel to come in and investigate. yes those chemical weapons inspectors arriving in the syrian capital late yesterday what we understand from the organization is that they are going to start their fact finding mission on saturday tomorrow they will be heading to dumas like you mentioned that is the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack they're going to inspect the area investigate and come up with their findings but already concerns are being raised because some people are talking about the possibility of evidence being tampered with because there is a new authority on the ground is now under the control of the government it was under the control of the rebels when this alleged attack occurred and it's not just the o.p.c. w. it can its mandate really is to find out whether or not an attack happened its

mandate does not involve apportioning blame so will this be enough its findings will it be enough to stave off the possibility of a strikes against the syrian government or is trouble waiting for the findings of this o.p.c. w. mission before deciding what to do next but clearly tensions have eased somewhat with behind the scenes contacts but it's still not clear whether this o.p.c. w. mission will in any way stave off the possibility of strikes and of course only you know we're seeing fresh pictures of residents in the syrian flag life sort of getting back to normal as it possibly can. the russian military on the ground but there are just as many thousands of residents who had to leave or did leave that area over the coming weeks and through the disturbances where all they know. well over the past few weeks one hundred thousand people have been forced to leave

this rebel held enclave at the doorsteps of the capital this was part of the surrender deal that the government reached with the three rebel factions who were in control of this enclave this was the only way to end the government's assault against the eastern hundred thousand people syria's newly displaced adding to the millions of people who have been displaced by this ongoing conflict many of them have been sent and bussed to that is a province in the northwest of the country under can under the control of the rebels but a province which is not safe which continues to be a target of the syrian government and its allies others went to areas in the northern aleppo countryside areas under the control of rebels backed by turkey and there the situation is safer because there aren't many airstrikes but these people really newly displaced they left everything behind their homes and their livelihoods for the moment say they will leave it then of course come back to when that situation changes thank you thousands of palestinians on friday of protests along the gaza border fence on several people who have already

been injured the border demonstrations palestinians could be seen hurling stones towards the border and lighting tires on fire now the palestinians are calling this friday's protest slank a burning day more than thirty palestinians were shot and killed by israeli fire in past demonstrations sorry force it is live for us the israel border and we believe that friday prayers have just finished there so what's the situation like. sorry dropped out just as you're asking that question but but to tell you what's happening here we've had friday prayers just break up in the last couple of minutes so you can see suddenly hundreds more people after those prayers and now walking towards the border as you were saying this friday has been labeled israeli flag burning day and i think my line has now dropped off entirely so i'll just carry on talking and hand back to you but yes this is flag burning day they're

going to burn at the five separate locations along the border they're going to burn israeli flags which had been erected which will be hoisted up flagpoles are to be directed to twenty meters into the air then going to hoist palestinian flags in their place the whole idea is emphasizing once again what the protesters here says their right of return to the historic lands inside present day israel as you are saying the numbers of casualties have been very high over the last couple of weeks hundreds of people have been shot and injured more than thirty killed we've been speaking to some of the young men and boys who are preparing to approach the fence again in the face of those risks some of them saying that it's their right to do so that it is their land we even spoke to one young man who has who had massive injuries in one leg from the protests which came after the donald trump's declaration on recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and he is back here he

says that he has nothing else to do but he wants to come here and show that people here in gaza like everywhere around the world want to live in a decent way and not in this constant state of conflict and essentially imprisonment in gaza under the israeli blockade and what is only a limited lifting of the southern border with egypt so that's the situation here the israelis have also released a statement saying that they are trying to counteract what they say are hamas. gaited violent confrontations bent on trying to sabotage the what they call the security fence and they say wouldn't your country do the same of course harry will go back to her yeah once we shall communications with him but of these painted the picture for us and we will continue to monitor events there in gaza through the day because the former prime minister nawaz sharif has been banned from politics for life five supreme court judges made the ruling earlier on friday there was who's

been elected and removed as prime minister three times since the one nine hundred ninety s. was charged with corruption last year. he was stoned guilty of not disclosing that he'd received money from his son's company that investigation was and prompted in fact by these so-called palomar papers which lead to information about world leaders hiding their assets improperly sharif's political opponents have longer queues to move laundering money from pakistan and using it to buy high end properties in london he's always denied this. as our correspondent in pakistan joins me now from capitol. this is significantly huge decision by the supreme court and it has ramifications for all politicians across pakistan. absolutely and given the fact that many politicians. now as ford.

he was disqualified an old. provision which a member of parliament much be honored and. dad according. to one of the constitution now there was some ambiguity as to whether the ban or no why should a void for a few years. that anyone no. clause will be banned for life from conducting politic all holding public all faiths or indeed a unanimous decision once again from their core not entirely surprising but one with huge ramifications an implication here and. thanks very much for the moment we'll leave it. through the day for more reaction let's cross over twelve. a columnist at the daily jang pakistan's largest newspaper.

i mean. options now i mean does the law as it stands in pakistan today allow him to appeal this decision. well sure if options are very limited at the moment he can appeal he can ask for a review of the judgment but it would be within the supreme court and given that a five member bench has just given that judgment the chances of any review are very slim his other options are he could go for a presidential pardon on the advice of the prime minister but in the risk of that is that the supreme court can just step in and overrule that and say that's not allowed he can still not be part of he can be part of the government or hold any political office his third option could be that he could. change the law but for that he needs a majority in both the senate and the parliament and to change the constitution the

article sixty two he'd need a two thirds majority which he doesn't have so it's options seem very limited and this isn't the end of mr sharif's worries at the moment because his case on the panama papers is still ongoing in the accountability court ok we shall see what happens on that level i suppose really depends on who you ask around them for major provinces of pakistan about their reaction to this but what do you think the masses across the country will make of this particular verdict from the supreme court because perhaps they'll be looking at their own politicians in their own regions and questioning their you might say whiter than white approach to politics and the way they've stood by their policies over these years. well the reaction really depend on who people support now across the country mr sharif supporters would cry foul less they have been doing they'll say that this is another

victimization through judicial judgements now it's been ongoing that's been ongoing in their opinion against mr sharif and that has been mr sharif narrative as well to his support base his. certainly this is correct this is how it's supposed to happen but the problem is i think with more neutral people they look at this and they'll say well article sixty two an article sixty three were already controversial but more importantly why has some politicians who are seemingly more corrupt than mr sharif been given a clean chit to all public office and why mr sharif is the one who has been. who has seen judgments like this against him so many times i'm sure and i'm sure this sort of mudslinging is going to continue as we lead you might say into the last eight week solve this democratically elected government we pakistan is heading towards a general election how do you think this decision and the debate around it is going

to influence the way the campaign or campaigns will be run by various political parties well mr sharif will play the victim card to his support base it will be interesting as to what happens with the other accountability court judgement but mr sharif took a very hard line against the judiciary in these judgments once once he was disqualified from office this will only cement his position in that regard and you continue to say that our principal obviously you have have a very clear narrative strategy against mr sharif now they'll say that he's disqualified from office he can't come back he's been proven to be corrupt you might say and so they will channel. the narrative to gain some votes we will see what does happen for the moment. in islam about thank you for your time sir. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news our allies turn to photos why sri lanka's

a no confidence motion brought against the prime minister which drew the government into crisis the reason being that a sizable amount sixteen government ministers from the president of freedom party chose to break ranks and vote for the no confidence motion another group also decided to be absent from the voting so this has caused problems as to a way forward you know different camps saying that the minister should stay work with the president the prime minister supporters saying that they should be removed that is untenable they continue within government now the no confidence motion itself was a huge sort of a shake for the government source close to the president's office told me that it was almost like a bomb had exploded with everything thrown into chaos however he said things were cooling down and he said that this is special might be a way for things to settle to allow a cooling off period so that we don't have this group moving on mass to the

a sensitive issues some zimbabweans also display in the face of things like changing i dreamed i was on social. since mugabe's removal a few protests have been allowed doctors and teachers marched demanding more money there's always a line that is never to be crossed. subtle threats from the military from the government that use this online space responsibly in courts use their knee jerk response a bully in court i. was it's not yet clear how much creative freedom zimbabweans have mugabe is fair game because he's no longer in charge whether people can openly mock the current leadership is another story. well i was in say an hour with a weather check and then i'd like an hour because what india's ruling party is being accused of shielding those accused of raping and murdering a young girl. had to the boston red sox

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera once a whole rom the reminder of all the top stories this news of the u.s. defense secretary has played down expectations of an imminent attack on syria following president trump's comments that missile strikes could happen soon or not at all meanwhile the russian foreign minister is alleging last saturday's suspected chemical attack in juba was staying each with help from foreign secret services. in south asia pakistan's supreme court has banned former prime minister nawaz sharif from politics for life he was removed from office last year on corruption allegations. and thousands of palestinians for a furred friday

a protest along the gaza israel border fence several people have already been injured in the demonstrations more than thirty palestinians were shot and killed by israeli fire in the past protests. going on the theme joining me now and that is beverly built edwards is a visiting fellow brookings institute doha center they form you special advisor to the middle east peace process could have you with us on the program lots really to get through in terms of that in the past week we've seen the israeli authorities target how much individuals will hammer supporters and their locations what is this telling is really about the way israel sees this current impasse and the way they see people blaming hamas. well i mean i think israel has legitimate security concerns when it comes to us and harasses role in the gaza strip in terms of governing there certainly i think there's been a high degree of speculation these israeli attacks over the last week in particular on allegedly operatives or hamas positions in. the speculation is that

maybe israel is seeking to draw a mass further into confrontation so that israel can then perhaps more decisively deal with this current round of protests and the role of hamas hamas in it so that so that's one area of speculation in the three weeks that we've seen the protests we're now into at the third week aimed we have seen unarmed protesters coming into that facility close to the garcia israel border apparently getting frustrated and talking about molotov day in terms of missiles. being the unarmed individuals who want a peaceful protest but a noisy protest yes so again i think has each week goes past there are attempts to by the organizers of the protests. again there's more than one set of organizers of this protest of the great march of return and the demonstrations that taking place

around it as we head towards the fifteenth of may so the group really that represents civil society like women's organizations students lawyers and doctors civil society activists they have been very much of the persuasion that any form of protest or demonstration or gathering up towards the fence with with israel from gaza should be nonviolent and again they've employed the kinds of slogans on the social media you know don't burn tires but throw flowers. and this has led to some degree of disagreement over tactics because organizations like hamas for example had attempted to brand today molotov friday they had called for people to come and throw molotov of this to burn the israeli flag and even to penetrate penetrate the fence with israel to try and break through that fence with israel and of course that's only going to result in one kind of security response from israel itself

which is to increase the range of responses defense responses and lethal use of force on the other side so we can see that there is almost a sort of a sense of some divisions over tactics not the cause itself amongst palestinians they're very much united. again you talk about tactics from the israeli point of view the type is to try and diffuse the situation has taken as you say to social media post news of used to have these rallies tried to use social media to try and defuse a situation well again i think that this is. the term but it's very much a battle on all fronts both sides both palestinians and israelis are inclined to employ all sorts of tactics israel has been using social media in particular the idea. yes the i.d.f. has used and sent messages on palestinian social media networks saying ok go ahead

and protest but if you come even near the fence we will retaliate or we will strike against you now this is something the human rights organizations have pointed out that you know it's not an offense you know once breaking any law by approaching the fence and again we need to remember the arabia for sponsors that israel has this is one of the most military sophisticated organizations in the world they have sensors they have cameras they have unmanned vehicles they have drones they have buffer zones they have snipers they have very well protected defensive positions so if the analogy was to be employed of david and goliath in terms of curative responses we can see who falls on one side or or the other but certainly israel has been using social media to warn palestinians but also it's been using social media to kind of rile up the debate and the discussion in particular they made what were considered to be quite negative messages to women saying stay at home don't bring don't bring

shame on your family is and that she had the opposite effect on those palestinians who receiving those those messages will continue obviously to follow events there will be gaza israel border for the moment to thank you so much for joining us thank you. now at the start of the program we mentioned that we were watching the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov to see if he said anything about the threat of u.s. military action against syria's government here are some of his latest comments that's that's it isn't that i would suggest to wait for the results especially considering that o.p.c. w. mission work. well there are now being very fast. without being overly enthusiastic however it's still under pressure from coming from us and from syrian government they have when tissue we are hearing they will run damascus tomorrow morning and we hope that without. you could queue and they would have

interest really go out to do much and i believe that they would find no proof of chemical weapons or chlorine. you know our specialists have not found a single such fact. more often we have if you pull data that was yet another exist each event as you and it's a staging was done also by. the special services of one of the countries being in it at the forefront of the russian campaign now the democratic republic of congo's not attending its own donor conference in geneva on friday saying that the u.n. has exaggerated the number of people who need aid although violence has subsided in consigning many people have not received food aid due to lack of funding escalating violence has also displaced more than four million people within the d.l.c. since december alone seventy thousand have fled fighting in the east it comes in neighboring uganda where malcolm webb has retrace the refugees journey he's

travelled from uganda's capital kampala to the chiang wali camp where almost most of the refugees as we settled here they had to send a landside on the shore of lake albert in the d.r. see this is where many refugees take boats to escape to uganda and find he visits bunia at a camp for people who fled the fighting. well that's exactly it is now in the code to join us from there is a grim site is it not welcome that's right it's not very good at all there can consist of hundreds of very simple structures on the muddy slope structures made of a plastic sheet stretched over simple frame made of sticks it's been raining quite a lot today and inside each of these shelters is just bare earth on the floor so you can imagine what rain falls on the conditions of the people here sanitation is not good at the best of time we are speaking to some of the community leaders just a short while ago complaining a lot of the children have diarrhea some of them

a vomiting condition that really aren't good at all but the reason they're here is because they fled their villages outside the city of borneo when militia in recent months of attacks they've been ruthlessly killing people small children elderly people have been hacked to death with machetes that's why most of the population from the areas fled many of them are in camps like this around the town of bunia but tens of thousands fled across lake albert to neighboring uganda and we retraced the journey of these refugees starting in the chang wali refugee camp in uganda let's take a look at that story. it's taken days for cooma corinne and her children to get from her village in the democratic republic of congo to the safety of this refugee camp in uganda with two year old patricia. and she septic sprays just too much. life in the camp begins with frank scenes in a medical check who misled her village after her brother in law was killed by

a militia with machetes. husband tricia's father was left behind. when the fighting started we were very skitt other people ran away but my husband wasn't around so i waited after everyone left i was alone so again i decided to run . as among fowls and he fled to uganda since the beginning of this year most of them arrive here by boat on the shores of lake albert borders the two countries un registers them before taking them to the camps. to retrace their journey across the lake. in their wooden boat. carrying is already. very often. others are. going to. one or two days.

around. the u.n. says the people who took this journey are among millions of congolese in need of help displaced by multiple conflict across the country he says the crisis is neglected and he wants government meeting at a conference in geneva to donate around one and a half million dollars when we reached the congolese side of the lake we found more people who fled their homes many here couldn't afford the boat and unlike those in uganda they receive almost no assistance but the government says the un has greatly exaggerated the number of people affected by the crisis so it's not attending the conference. you know. we're not trying to deny that there is a humanitarian problem but we don't consider it's at that level we have to avoid making a business out of the humanitarian situation which discourages investors we can bring economic development. it's clear that many congolese desperately need help

chronic poverty makes a crisis much worse. well welcome as donors meet in geneva i mean we've seen that those that arrive get medical assistance but what other sort of assistance do they really need. well to clarify that medical assistance is over in uganda and conditions in those camps are much better than they are in these camps here on the congo side right here they will receive very little assistance so when everyone arrived here which is about two months ago everyone got given one of these plastic sheets from a charity so they could build a shelter but have been no improvement to the accommodation since then and there's no formal food distribution system here so if one or another charities are providing one meal a day they're cooking in a small kitchen enough food for people to have one meal a day so that's all they're getting are people here complain that there are people

cooking that food has been paid by the charity so they've been paying themselves out as a food source taking some of that food and selling it as a kind of a myriad of problems that humanitarian organizations face here certainly for this community is a desperate need for more food better shelter and health care as well waiting to find out in geneva if the un get more money and if they do they're waiting of course by now if or when that will actually benefit some of the people living in terrible conditions here of course we'll leave it there for now malcolm continue to follow events with you in when you think you know there have been must protests in india over allegations that the ruling being j.p. is trying to protect men accused of raping and murdering a child in indian administered kashmir demonstrators say the crime is being used as a political and religious tool money in a hole and has more. the rape and murder of a simple brown who triggered outrage anger at the brutal attack of an eight year
