for more palestinians killed by israeli fire as thousands protest on the gaza border for a fourth successive friday. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up the democrats through the trauma campaign russia and wiki leaks for conspiring to disrupt the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election. the boss separatist group given us from victims of its attacks as it moves towards disbanding. royal succession commonwealth leaders agree that the group's leadership should pass from the queen to prince charles. and some of his players won all and when asked and anger took over now after almost twenty two years he's stepping down.

funerals have been held for palestinians killed by israeli gunfire on friday during ongoing protests along the gaza israel border four people including a child have been killed and at least four hundred seventy others have been injured . rallying along the border for a fourth successive friday. they're marking prisoners day in support of the thousands of detainees in israeli jails over forty palestinians have now been killed by israeli soldiers since the protests began last month and it smith reports from the israel gaza border. they've become a feature of the weekly palestinian confrontations with israel's military this friday the wind was with the protesters as clouds of smoke from burning tires drifted over israeli positions. but it's not enough to stop israel snipers and volleys of tear gas. others who you might think would be put off after

previous experiences have instead come back for more muscle to show that i don't care about the injury even if i lose my legs this will not stop me coming back what happened here woke people up and reminded them about all calls we've come here to get our right of return on a lot of people states. but. us. in this with giving something another day that they're both i want. to show my enthusiasm and to inspire the young guys to continue their struggle for the. the good of the us he does every week hamas is leading gaza yassin was visited the protests a prime target for israeli snipers he'd have been easily spotted by the drones above but was protected by the crowds below. this friday the calibers moved three hundred meters closer to israel their mission is that when these protests climax on

may the fifteenth these towns will be the border between gaza and israel but after four weeks now of demonstrations there's been nothing in the way of concessions from the israelis that would improve the daily life of palestinians living in gaza there were no burnitz with al-jazeera scars. well israel's defense minister says hamas are wasting their time trying to gain the upper hand in the conflict and. remove. we have all the support from the army from the chief of staff and every. already that's something the other side must understand there is determined and trained behind which are determined people support the army and he had to their residents of communities adjacent to gaza who are determined and ready to give all their bridge to the army this combination can't be beaten and it is a waste of time a waste of their if it i expect gaza residents to take their destiny into their own

hands and not be led by hamas who are misleading them. the un special envoy for syria says chemical weapons inspectors in the syrian town of deny should do their job as quickly as possible and without any interference so found a mystery made the comments after holding talks with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov in moscow as he tries to renew diplomatic efforts to end the seven year crisis. do we need a political discoloration not only a military difficult lesion and i hope that will be possible for the discussions now regarding the political process i'm very pleased to hear what you heard and i heard from him it's the level of and from him is to show you all that in spite of what happened last week and feel it very recent

there leave the strong commitment from the russian federation to do push for the political process or a challenge has more or less now from moscow. well both men sergey lavrov and stuff and de mistura acknowledged that things had got pretty rough in recent weeks and that the tension had to come down significantly stefan de mistura said that things have got dangerous difficult and tense last week there were serious concerns around the world that in the aftermath of the allegations of yet another chemical attack in syria there was the possibility the very real possibility of a significant military entanglement between the united states and russia in syria now lavrov. de mistura i think are both quite grateful that didn't happen de mistura was pointing to the success of the de confliction lines being used

between the militaries of those two countries saying that those works and he hopes they continue to work but you get the sense from de mistura and i think he put it fairly bluntly there that he wants the page to be terms are on the duma incident the chemical incident so that they can start talking about peace in syria properly once again but i have to say that it's quite hard to see if the circumstances are right for that to happen now or they there's been a long time since geneva last made any significant progress and we now have a situation where there are of course yet again credible accounts of chemical weapons being used in syria we have the geopolitical tension being pretty high at the moment between the united states and russia and we also have a situation in syria where russia the united states turkey and iran are all

vying for territorial spheres of influence there so getting all of these different factions around the table working towards a long it's a settlement for syria looks as hard now as it has ever be him. syrian rebels have reportedly agreed to withdraw from one of the last remaining areas outside government control in the capital damascus the surrender of the enclave which includes the are moving palestinian refugee camp to mean that syrian government is close to controlling the entire area around the capital the army is continuing to bombard the enclave pending a full surrender deal president bashar assad is now in his strongest position since early in seventy a war. the us democratic party is suing the donald trump campaign and russia over alleged collusion in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election a huge rush of contacting trump's advisers to inform them of a cyber attack that leaked negative information about his democratic rival hillary

clinton the lawsuit also involves wiki leaks and its founder julian a son who they say gave the trump team advance knowledge they were publishing the information. is following events for us in washington. it's an unusual move but not an unprecedented one democrats sued over the watergate break in and they did get some money on the day that richard nixon left office in disgrace now the lawsuit is against russia russia's intelligence service and some russian citizens it is difficult to sue a sovereign nation in the united states but it is possible difficult but possible it also sues wiki leaks and its founder julian assange and it really targets people very close to the president president donald trump not named in this lawsuit because it's really hard to sue a sitting president but his campaign is named along with his son don jr son in law jerry cushion or his former campaign chairman paul mann afford his advisor roger stone and former campaign aides george papadopoulos and richard gates now the

complaint alleges that the trump campaign colluded with russia to steal and publish e-mails from the democratic campaign workers in an attempt to help trump win the presidency much of what is in this lawsuit was already known but there are a couple of things that we didn't know for example it says it alleges that in late twenty fifteen that far back that european intelligence services said that they were witnessing some suspicious communications between russian operatives and members of the trump campaign that they notified the u.s. about that again late two thousand and fifteen it also goes on to say that the hack was earlier than we previously thought that it happened again in twenty fifteen and it wasn't just the computer system it was the phone system that was compromised so some new details in this lawsuit this could be seen as a dangerous move if people perceive that it is in any way going to interfere with special counsel robert mueller who is investigating potential collusion between. the term campaign and russia but it also could serve the purpose of putting just

another venue to get the information out there there's growing concern that the special counsel will be tampered with or could possibly be let go if this lawsuit is allowed to proceed this basically puts before court before jury all on the record. actually what happened in the twenty sixteen campaign and it also serves as putting even more pressure on people in trump's orbit they're already facing pretty high legal bills and legal issues and this will only add to that the boss separatist group has apologized for the suffering caused to victims and their relatives during its forty a campaign of violence more than a hundred people were killed in bombings and shootings carried out by the group during its battle for an independent state in northern spain and southwest france thousands more were injured charlie angela reports. after decades of violent and apology that this car bomb attacks shootings and assassinations in the name of independence. as an acronym that stands for

basque homeland and freedom started as a student movement opposed to general franco's military dictatorship that went on to become one of europe's most violent and injuring armed groups from one thousand nine hundred eighty eight to two thousand and ten it killed more than eight hundred twenty people nearly half of them civilians. or for that. we are aware that during this long period of all i'm struggle we have created a lot of pain including many damages for which there is no solution we want to show respect for the dead those injured and the victims that were caused by the actions of eta we truly apologize to spain's government welcome the statement saying eta had been defeated by the weapons of democracy but it will down. this shows as political economic social and international disease last word is not for as a for all the democrats we featured as a with the help of the state security forces judges and the international community

. etter fell out of favor with the basque people decades ago and for some victims the apology was not enough. it doesn't fulfill my expectations i think it's a statement where they've tried to justify their acts and overall there's a selective forgiveness which i can't understand at all because we are all victims we have all suffered the pain caused by. the group's journey to dissolution has been long on the planet in march two thousand and six at or announce its first permanent cease fire and in response the socialist government started peace talks but nine months later at a bombed a car park at the international airport killing two people then in twenty ten the group announced it would not carry out further attacks a year later it declared a permanent ceasefire. and twelve months ago with the help of mediators it led french authorities to a cache of weapons explosives and munition now completely disarmed this apology is

the last step before its full dissolution expected in may but the healing process will take many years charlie al-jazeera. so glad for you on the program more violence in south africa's northwest province as president ronald poster visits to contact over four local services. and across the united states students walk out of class on the seventh on the nineteenth anniversary of the columbine shooting. hello and welcome back now the fine weather across europe largely continues so the central air is enjoying some very warm weather indeed twenty seven degrees in vienna he said there is still cold out to area of low pressure giving rain for parts of russia slightly cooler air creeping in across the u.k.

while achieving perfection to make art out of football vanga won the english premier league on three occasions most famously in two thousand and four when his team went through the season unbeaten they were dumped the invincibles he lifted the f.a. cup on seven occasions but the frenchman was also viewed as a revolutionary for his early use of sports science and nutrition. basically moved the goalposts for everybody else who's still doing the same thing still prepare and in the same way he came in with different ideas isn't what he was and is still an influencer though in football he made. has a fantastic career outstanding personality despite success in england also failed to win the champions league during his tenure was that we were going to have fans began to lose faith in recent seasons an attempt to humiliation by by munich last year was marked by protests he'd often ponded his own future on the street i would
