is al jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine denis coming up in the next sixty minutes north korea says it will suspend new clear and missile tests as well as shut down a test site. new coltrane investigation of israel's use of force on palestinian protesters after four people were killed in friday demonstrations. syria's government moves on the remaining rebel held area near the capital. and cubans contemplate a new era with a president who isn't called castro. let's

go first to the korean peninsula where north korea's official news agency has announced that it will stop all new clear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests the announcement comes ahead of the meeting between the north and south korean leaders which is june sixth ace from now we have two correspondents on the story we've got castro who is in the u.s. capitol we'll get her in a moment first so let's go to kathy novak is in the south korean capital seoul and this momentous announcement coming from north korea has been welcomed it seemed seems by leaders of the south. yes the south korean government has welcomed this decision coming out of north korea saying that the decision represents meaningful progress towards the ultimate goal of the denuclearization of the korean peninsula of course this represents a very big shift from the kind of place that we were in just months ago when we saw

the regular tests of missiles coming out of north korea and its most powerful ever nuclear test and now north korea is saying that it will suspend those tests and it will also shut down its nuclear test site about five years ago the north korean leader kim jong un had promoted his signature policy which was a jewel track of developing both the nuclear weapons program and also the economy and now what he seems to be saying in these lines that are coming out of a meeting of the workers party that he chaired is that the nuclear weapons program he says is complete this is something that north korea has said before but now he is saying that since the nuclear weapons program is complete he can now shift towards concentrating on the economy and the question of course even going in to this meeting with the south korean president kim jong un is how does north korea intend to develop its economy while it is under this regime of intense sanctions from the international community and one might expect that the north koreans would

like into a meeting with kim jong il with monday and rather asking for the lifting of those sanctions that have been imposed on the north korean economy martin and of course that meeting coming up in less than a week from now between the leaders of the north and the south the stated objectives of that is to achieve denuclearization on the entire peninsula. yes that is what south korea has saying has has said would be its focus along with the improvement of interim korean ties and the ultimate development of peace on the korean peninsula when we've talked about denuclearization in the past the question has been what does that mean to south korea the united states and north korea the united states want to see complete verifiable denuclearization it wants to see north korea dismantling its weapons program the question is will this be seen as

a step towards that sort of denuclearization it seems to be welcomed by both south korea and the united states so those are the kinds of questions that will be asked as kim jong un goes to sit down with south korean president was all right thanks for that kathy novak live in seoul now let's talk to heidi castor who is in washington and it didn't take long did it for president trump to turn to twitter. that's right martine very soon after north korea's announcement trump did write on twitter north korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site this is very good news for north korea and the world big progress exclamation point look forward to our summit and that summit that president trump is referring to would be the first meeting between the head of state of the u.s. and the president of north korea it is scheduled to take place sometime next month if not early june and this announcement of the cease of

a nuclear test and missile missile testing in north korea is actually the second day of what seems to be positive developments for us negotiators it was just yesterday that we heard from south korea that north korea has indicated it will no longer demand for the u.s. to remove troops from the korean peninsula as part of these negotiations now the big question though is how sincere are these public statements made by north korea and how much of that may be just stacking the cards for this upcoming summit between the president of the u.s. and north korea and exactly what will north korea ask the u.s. in exchange for its denuclearization indeed president trump seems to have bought into this and says this is a great thing. as korea's and for the world but what about his his team his advisors because of coals right now he's assembled a tough hawkish team around him some of even called it

a war cabinet obviously thinking of john bolton and. that's right men might compel the current cia chief and the nominee for the u.s. secretary of state he notably made a secret trip to north korea over easter weekend in which he opened a new line of dialogue with the north korean leadership little has been said about that publicly the white house but it is understood to be laying the diplomatic groundwork for this upcoming summit between the two presidents and then of course you mentioned john bolton he's the newly appointed national security adviser and he is has been deemed very hawkish when it comes to north korea and he has publicly said that nothing north korea says should be trusted so he expect he is expected to be whispering in true president trump's ear cautioning him not to be too overly optimistic and preparing the president to walk away even during this summit if need

be if north korea is unwilling to make any concessions and trump himself indicated the other day that that is exactly what he will do if these negotiations don't turn out in the u.s. as favor. thank you very much. live in washington d.c. well that announcement came a couple of hours ago let's just have a listen to some of it is quite a long statement so we've just clipped some of the more interesting bits have a listen. so it should cheer we will discontinue nuclear testing and intercontinental ballistic rocket test firings from twenty first the northern nuclear test of the d.p. r. k. will also be dismantled to transparently guarantee the discontinuance of nuclear testing that this continuance of the nuclear test is an important process for the worldwide disarmament and the t.p.r. cable joint international desire and efforts for a total halt to nuclear testing the d.p. r. k.

will never use nuclear weapons nor transfer them or nuclear technology under any circumstances unless there is a nuclear threat or qualification against it for the japanese defense minister says it's not the time now to ease pressure on north korea it's a nori on addenda reiterated remarks in an early a meeting with the u.s. defense secretary james mattis vessels and first of all what is important here is that we will maintain the policy we have until north korea changes policy for themselves. they say who is publisher of the magazine korea exposé and he's joining us from seoul what is your first reaction how saying how sincere how genuine do you think this this statement is. well the world was actually hoping to see if north korea would do something to indicate that it's sincere about the nuclear reservation and in a way it received precisely that this morning let's not forget that until now what

we have heard about north korea's intention to commit to denuclearization has been secondhand we heard it through the south korean special envoys who visited in early march and we also heard it through the chinese state media. when kim jong il made us of surprise visit to beijing in late march so in a way it was time for north korea to make a clear public statement about its intentions and we did receive it although we need to be clear that they did not actually say anything about being committed to the nuclear radiation what they said was they are going to suspend experiments missile launchers and are going to use it on this their provoked and they're not going to transfer it or there was nothing actually about what they're going to do with the existing stockpile of the nuclear weapons to actually has in position so you're sounding a note of caution there and it's all about the language isn't it how much has. it in the president of south korea himself. a refugee from north korea how much is

he staked own this summit that is coming up and achieving a definitive peace with the north and indeed working towards real denuclearization. well he's very much stick his legacy on the cheating denuclearization of north korea this was his pledge from the very beginning when he was running for the presidency last year and also throughout his presidency he joined in on the u.s. sanctions against north korea but he continued to call for dialogue he said that we need to keep doors open we need to invite north korea to the table and also we cannot allow war under any circumstance he also invited north korea to the olympics and north korea reciprocated in february so all this is very much connected to his presidency a point at this point so he has much at stake and he has a lot to lose if the summit next friday is not going to be

a success and there are many voices and if so how loud are they that disagree with that with the president's pushing ahead to seek peace with the north. well certainly from the conservatives this is a disaster they're saying that this is really going to be a precursor to signing of a peace treaty with north korea which from their perspective is not a good thing because it leaves open the possibility the north korea might actually attack the self in trying to take over this country so they're ringing words of caution and also there are still people who say we cannot completely trust north korea at this point but that said i think what we're going to expect to see in the next several days and perhaps on the summit day next friday north korea will probably make clear that it is actually fully committed to denuclearize edition and that's the hidden card we're going to see coming up in the near future say one coup thank you very much indeed please good to talk. the palestinians ambassador to the

un has called for an independent investigation into israel's use of force some protest says this comes after four palestinians including a fifteen year old boy were killed by israeli gunfire and another day of demonstrations on gaza's border having funerals for the latest casualties thirty five people say five died in four weeks of protests calling for palestinians right to return to ancestral lands from gaza bennett smith reports. they've become a feature of the weekly palestinian confrontations with israel's military this friday the wind was with the protestors 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 won't people up and reminded them about cause 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. but i'm here to show my enthusiasm and to inspire the young guys to continue their struggle. the. the as he does every week hamas leader in 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 count was moved three hundred meters closer to israel their mission is that when these protests climax on may the fifteenth these times will be the border between gaza and israel but after

four weeks now demonstrations there's been nothing in the way of concessions from the israelis that would improve the daily life of palestinians living in gaza. burnitz with al-jazeera cars. and meanwhile the israeli defense minister says hamas is wasting its time trying to gain the upper hand in the conflict. from quote look we have all the support from the army from the chief of staff and everybody that something the other side must understand there is determined and trained army behind which are determined people support the army and he had to there are residents of communities adjacent to gaza who are determined and ready to give all their brick 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 were misleading them. also as

a common this al-jazeera news hour including the president of south africa returns home after violent protests in northwest province. demonstrations against pension cuts in nicaragua take a deadly tan. and in sport we look at all some very is rain as he prepares to leave i'll still after more than two decades and challenge. the syrian rebels have reportedly agreed to withdraw from the last area near the capital has not in government hands the surrender of the on clay even south of damascus which includes the yarmouk palestinian refugee camp. well put the entire region around the capital back under syrian government control the army is continuing to bombard the area until

a full surrender is reached. the us is again warned syria's president about the use of chemical weapons defense secretary jim mass has made the comments whilst meeting his japanese counterpart and it comes a week after u.s. led strikes on weapons facilities in syria they were in response to a suspected chemical attack in duma on april the seventh syria and its ally russia deny it happened the full support of that regrettable but necessary attack on. his research engineering part of his. weapons program weapons of mass destruction right he will be all advised to ignore the international community statement and we stand ready to address anything in the future and the u.n. special envoy for syria says chemical weapons inspectors into mission be allowed to get on and do their job as quickly as possible without interference stephon de mistura has held talks with russia's foreign minister moscow firmware rory chalons

now reports. following last week's tango over syria moscow seems in a restrained mood in an interview with the russian state information agency foreign minister sergey lavrov suggested last week's u.s. air strikes have been within limits acceptable for russia to deal of course and. they were informed about where our red lines are including geographical red lines on the ground in any case the results show that they have not crossed these red lines you to close loopholes. and he said neither side's generals would be drawn into open conflict in syria if they were. i'm sure that neda president putin nor president trump will allow this to happen they are after all leaders who have been elected by the people and they are responsible to these people for peace and calm. is focused. diplomatically russia can afford to attempt

to pause in hostilities with the us is on the ground much is going its allies way following the fall of eastern ghouta the syrian government forces damascus is moving against the remaining besieged enclaves of rebel activity one by one their fall in. the un's envoy to syria who is in saudi arabia and turkey earlier in the week has now come to moscow next will be iran de mistura is assessing whether the foreign powers involved in syria's war are ready to restart the un facilitated political process he acknowledged that recent days have been rough we had a very dangerous and very difficult and very tense week and it priority for the u.n. secretary did for a secure general and therefore he coming here and doing this tour doherty zone in various capitals in very much in moscow is the player it is to lower the

temperature seven to mr a maybe doing a different matter grounds with the intention of getting the. geneva peace process back on track but there are those who question just how much life there is actually left in this particular u.n. sponsored format people like analyst dimitri for a love ski he thinks de mistura is rights to still be pushing for dialogue but feels that the scramble for syrian territory by russia turkey iran and the u.s. has changed the game besides realize that negotiations them warts and by just the most decisive argument the last one less real forces and open on the ground. and with bashar al assad feeling that perhaps a total defeat of the rebellion is within his reach there's no obvious reason for syria's president to return to the negotiating table right now rory chalons al-jazeera moscow. let's go back to the u.s. sound democratic party is suing the donald trump campaign and russia over alleged

collusion in the twenty sixteen presidential election they accuse russia of contacting trump's advisors informing them of a cyber attack that leaked negative information about mr trump's democratic rival hillary clinton the lawsuit also involves wiki leaks and its founder julian assange the democrats accuse him of warning the trump team in advance before publishing the information own mrs clinton patty culhane has been following events from washington . it's an unusual move but not an unprecedented one democrats have 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 at 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 that 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 all right with him asking to very fine who say in washington he's a former u.s. a says he attempts to attend the general thanks for talking to his prius what's your opinion i mean this is also the real major patient in the objective of this

lawsuit. well there could be to know their statute of limitations with regard to some of their claims and if they dallied much longer they may have been barred by time other than that i don't think there's any prospect at all that the case will go forward until mr motors investigation concludes when your porter noted that in the watergate case yes the democratic national committee did sue because their premises were broken into but it didn't actually reach fruition until the nixon resigned in the watergate had been investigated and concluded it's customary where you have parallel criminal and civil proceedings that the civil proceeding is stayed until the criminal proceeding investigation concludes and we also seen somewhat of a dress rehearsal of this with regard to mr michael cohen you know that he is light is lawyers have argued that he's about ready to be indicted for the payoff to stormy daniels and mr grand olds and and other others involved in trying to

conceal mr trump's sexual affairs and ask for a stay of stormy daniels suit against him because he's going to be confronting a criminal case and that is ordinarily the way the issues are resolved when you have those parallel proceedings so other than the statue of limitations being barred i don't think there's a ghost of a chance that the judge would not grant a motion that will surely be forthcoming to stay into honester moeller concludes his investigation and prosecution ok one of the legal advisers to the democratic party will probably be aware of that so what do you think the real intention is. well as say they're twofold one it may well be there's a statue of limitations even if the cases stayed as it was during watergate judge clayton ritchie stayed the civil case until the watergate special prosecutor finished his work still in you need to file if you have

a statue of limitations some of these claims arise under what you might call computer hacking statutes and at least it survives if it gets under the statute of limitations even if after the filing it it rather sits there but a court typically is not going to require a defendant or somebody who is a suspect in a criminal proceeding to defend in a civil case at the same time they're complications because anything said in the civil case could be used or in italy against them in the criminal proceeding embrace you giving me the legal interpretation which i appreciate that actually what i'm more interested in this stage is what the overall impression will be because presumably it is adding another layer of intrigue and controversy around the president in these in this which most doubt it without doubt will be unwelcome well i think there's there's a twofold element to this on the one hand some may view it as just another partisan effort because it's obviously the democrats who brought the lawsuit on the other

hand it does give another burst of publicity and it shows for the time being that they have a very beleaguered president he's now fighting three or four front war instead of a one or two front war but my belief is that no matter how sound the case is in the long run when there is no activity and i can guarantee you bring it back on in two weeks they'll be a grant of a stay in motion if there is no. it will really not have much more than a twenty four hour effect however i think a thank you very much bruce fein talking to us live from washington d.c. . still to come here on the al-jazeera news hundreds rally in zimbabwe after the firing of thousands of nurses who they say will pay the ultimate price. and in sports how japan retain their title at the women's asian cup final.

with your ration card in hand one roll per day per person at a minute state subsidized price the system that dates back to the soviet union. in recent years the government has been forced to cut back on ration card items but there's still rice beans sugar salt and occasionally meet aid with cuba's national currency the best so. if we didn't have this option those on a workers' wages could not afford to buy almost anything. you can also use pesos to buy fruits and vegetables. but for almost everything else from shampoo to shoes you need a c. you see the cuban government's version of hard currency on an average monthly wage you can purchase thirty c. you see not enough to fill a car with petrol cuba's dual currency is

a monetary abnormality that stunting economic growth and scaring off investment. and like the ration card doing away with it is a must if cuba's new president. is going to make good on his promise to update cuban communism what is the government hasn't already done it it's because merging these two currencies into one is much more complex than it sounds and. country where the state is supposed to always provide it's going to make life much more difficult for cubans who are already struggling. eliminating the dual currency system will devalue the place or but it's a necessary change concedes medium leyva a long time opponent of the cuban government. in fact after watching thursday's presidential handover of power from broadcast rule to d.s. can nail the only changes she expects are on the economic front almost on the emotional level i don't feel any change i hope i'll feel it some day when our

society really opens up and i have the right to participate no matter my opinions. the transition to a post castro era does not contemplate political change but reforming the state run economy to make it more rational and effective could be almost as revolutionary you see in human how than the u.s. has released its annual report on the state of human rights around the world several countries were singled out for alleged violations russia is accused the stifling dissent and using brutal security tactics including torture the report also highlights abuses in chechnya the annexation of crimea and interference in the internal affairs of western countries china comes under fire for suppressing freedom of expression and restricting civil society the syrian government is accused of atrocities against its own citizens including the repeated use of chemical weapons in miramar the focus is on the treatment of its range

a minority more than seven hundred thousand have been forced to flee a military crackdown but rights groups have criticize the report saying the latest edition pays far less attention to sexual and reproductive rights than previous ones our correspondent roslyn jordan has more from washington. it's the forty second time that the u.s. state department has released its annual human rights reports on conditions in countries around the world and as with every year the reports are controversial as for countries themselves the reports covered the areas that one might normally expect including perhaps a more critical than expected attack on russia's handling of human rights john sullivan is the acting secretary of state the russian government continues to quash dissent in civil society even while it invades its neighbors and undermines the

sovereignty of western nations we once again urge russia to end its brutal occupation of ukraine's crimean peninsula to halt the abuses perpetrated by russian led forces in ukraine's donbass region and to address impunity for the human rights violations and abuses in the republic of chechnya the report does outline that there are still many questions about the way that israeli military forces treat palestinian civilians and about the ability of the palestinian authority to prevent attacks by palestinians on israeli citizens particularly in the occupied west bank these reports are already being dissected and already human rights organizations around the world are taking a very close and skeptical look at the trumpet ministrations ability to invoke and to try to protect human rights. south africa's new president has become the

mediator in growing protests in northwest province demonstrators of cold for the resignation of the region's leader catherine soy has more from the. residents of mike hang in the northwest province wait for the outcome of a meeting between president cyril ramaphosa and the provincial leadership. people in several paths of the region have been protesting for days now they say they want better houses jobs and an end to corruption they're demanding the provincial leaders supermom appeal whom they accuse of failing to do his job and listening corruption to step down the president catches his trip to the u.k. where he was attending a commonwealth heads of state meeting to deal with the situation having listened to all imports we have decided that we would like to engage further with a number of other people particularly members of the community. not

only in my he but also in the northwest what i can assure you now is that even if all of the monologue met we're not going to summon the will go into what streets are deserted but evidence of the violent protests is everywhere. so this is one of the areas where protesters had blocked the roads using running tires and anything else they could find police have been trying to clear this road we've also seen shops that have been broken into and looted and the situation here is still very tense this petrol station is in one of the hot spots a group of young people is say to have done this many shop owners are devastated. i don't know how to start over i used all my money to stock the shop to get tells us others whose businesses were destroyed comped at the heritage house where the

leadership was meeting they tell us what happened to their shops had nothing to do with genuine demonstrations. there is doing what they want to bigger problem but they're not involving them and we're not just doing anything you're just doing business residents of this region continue to wait for answers but these are difficult issues that may not be fully resolved fairly soon catherine saw al-jazeera south africa hundreds of workers of reality in zimbabwe's capital to speak out against the recent firing of more than sixteen thousand nurses protesters say hospital employees and patients are paying the price of the country's struggling health system kathy lopez who diane reports. these nurses want to go back to work they went on strike hoping for higher pay and better working conditions instead they got fired by the government we love our country we love our patients please do not make us suffer anymore do not make

a person suffer you want to go back to work. medical teams say they are overworked and underpaid in public hospitals medication and resources are limited patients are sometimes asked to bring their own supplies lower paid nurses earn less than three hundred dollars a month before allowances we have to take out money from our own pockets to buy the next place a compost you name it really patient so it's not only about money for them this is also there is also for the hospital more than sixteen thousand nurses across them bob are now out of a job there dismissal was ordered by vice president constantine a few when he believes the strikes are unreasonable and politically motivated since the strike began the opposition has laid our problems with the country's health care system you can't come in and say you are open for business things are happening when they're not having those because when i don't have a union for patients for people that isn't acceptable. five months after taking

over as president emerson god while faces a weak economy and a struggling public health care system the strike is seen as yet another challenge in his young presidency i'm just deeply concerned that if we if we don't stand up in solidarity with the nurses and we don't push to have this health care crisis resolved then many more people will die. the government says retired nurses will replace those on strike but some nurses association says the dismissals are invalid in the meantime hospitals are understaffed and patients are paying the price cuts yellow priscilla young al-jazeera internees e a fisherman have rescued a boat load of ranger refugees thousands of kilometers from their homeland the group of around a hundred was brought ashore in at a province it's all clear how long they'd been at sea but they were reportedly weakened malnourished around seven hundred thousand ranger have fled mammals rakhine state mainly by land since i'm in

a tree cracked in august. there's been a dramatic twist in the trial of to me a mob journalists have been covering the range of crisis with the police and telling the court it was a setup they're accused of violating a state secrets law by acquiring official documents if found guilty they could face fourteen years in jail but a policeman who was appearing as a prosecution witness told the court that one of his senior officers gave the documents to the journalists to entrap them you know were very surprised the truth has been revealed in this way we thought from the beginning with kerry it was a set up but we didn't expect the police would testify like we have this testimony will be a very strong support for the defendants case there's been a demonstration in south london in solidarity with the windrush generation now they are people who immigrated from commonwealth countries decades ago but many of fall in afoul of new laws aimed at clamping down on illegal immigration british prime

minister treason may has apologized but protesters say more needs to be done that in barber was there. well very personally this demonstration is being held in windrush square in brixton and many of the speakers have been outlining the distress and the damage caused to the so called wind rush generation people who arrived as young children in the nineteen fifties and sixties here who were british but in later years have struggled to prove when asked to do so that they did have the right to stay here as pretty citizens of course one of the big gripes is that a number of years ago landing cards from ships coming from the caribbean to britain were actually destroyed by the british home office to resume a the prime minister has come under pressure she was home secretary her there to the current home secretary amber rudd has also faced calls for her to resign now

the government has apologized profusely said that they are getting masses in the hands but people here say they want to see compensation for loss of earnings when people have lost their jobs they want who didn't report relations with anybody who has been sent abroad and they want damages paid for the distress now there are be people here in britain in their fifty's and sixty's who have been refused things like treatment for cancer they have not only lost their jobs but in some cases they have had breakdowns they have suffered mental health problems because of the fact that they have been threatened with being kicked out of their own country this is a problem that affects tens of thousands of people and it's not going away quickly . now police in nicaragua last say three people have been killed in demonstrations against pension cuts a policeman a protester and a pro-government activist have died in the violence and now the government has

ordered five independent television channels covering the demonstrations to stop broadcasting from home and has mall. antigovernment protests in because i were are unusual but they're happening now. it started when pensions were cut by five percent and employees social security contributions were raised slightly to actually i am here because i'm indignant i mean dignan that my grandparents are going to receive five percent or less of their already anemic bench and after having poor for forty five years that is not money that are being limited that is money that they already paid so you bother me and it bothers me and it could not remain sitting any longer several people have been killed a many others injured in running battles between protesters and police street barricades have been thrown up and students have occupied at least one university the government sought to restrict coverage of the protests cutting the signal of at least three channels which was showing the independent media say that's

a clear violation of the freedom of the press in. these are acts of repression and unexplainable censorship by the government the government has been very secretive in releasing information to the public but this censorship is at a new level the vice president and first lady. has described protesters as trying to destroy the country her husband long term president danielle ortega has been accused of an increasingly authoritarian and undemocratic rule now many nicaraguans are making their voices heard and the protests are expected to continue john homan how does either. lots more to come still only the al-jazeera news hour including. taking china by storm the homemade movies they can't get enough of. rafa nadal is on a roll at the monte carlo masses details coming up with santa. when

hearing is good journalism on air and on. top of this false news now with santa. thank you very much one of the most well known figures in international football has announced hell be quitting as the end of the english season and then go will exit london club arsenal after almost twenty two years in taught this on harassment. is the longest serving manager in english premier league history but after more than two decades in charge a statement on arsenal's website confirmed the news after careful consideration and

following discussions with the club i feel it is the right time for me to step down right ass inventor i am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club the so many memorable use when banker arrived at arsenal from japanese football in one thousand nine hundred sixty fans were asking aston who but he leaves as one of the most influential managers in football history also changed the game he set a totally new standard a new ambition and ambition not just to win but to win. 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 was still doing the same thing still prepare and in the same way he came in with different ideas while he was 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 said we were going to have fans began to lose faith in recent seasons and attempt to humiliation by by munich last year was marked by protests hit often ponded his own future on the sleep i would love to be here forever because that would mean i would be mortar but. i'm not naive enough to believe that views were mixed outside of arsenal's harm ground on friday i was quite disappointed when they leave him because he's been such

a great manager and holds a legacy in the club itself like aussie aussie when so. is so overleaf as well because he hasn't had the best of great seasons ultimately bangas managerial rain will be remembered fondly after twenty two years he's time at arsenal has just one month left to run elease homan al-jazeera. venders list of achievements is certainly impressive his three premier league titles came in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight two thousand and two and two thousand and four the last after his team went through the season unbeaten it was first time in more than a century that had been done in english football the f.a. cup headed vendors away on the wreck or the seven ok she was the first in one thousand and ninety eight and the last secured in two thousand and seventeen a vendor as current longest serving manager has taken charge of all recalled eight

hundred twenty three games in the e.p.l. racking up for the seventy three victories well you know we spoke with gold dotcoms arsenal correspondent chris at wikia and asked him about the legacy van gogh will leave at the club. well last election terry already said he has an untouchable legacy and i think that's difficult to argue with once so many things for all snow he's revolutionized english football but now all the managers who come in we've seen the likes of pep gaudio that sonia come say and they have revolutionized english football with the new methods then you tactics and methodology and i think it also can go on to win and that would be the legacy for austin bengal that would be the first european trophy. you know ten major trophies in twenty years eight hundred premier league games at these guys and also the legend is no mistake about that but like all good things they do come soon and behind the scenes we know that

the chief executive i mean his aegis has been planning for this departure for a long time he's brought in a new head of recruitment a new contract negotiates a and you had a football relations all of these new arrivals of basically signaling the end of all something is right now also know the modernizing the club are going forward the only thing left really to change was the manager. and i think you'll see in the next few weeks that the tributes are going to be pouring in for us and. i think his legacy is going to be tarnished i think what he's done for the club thing this football will never be repeated. alex ferguson is kind of on the pall of awesome that your terms of what he's achieved and trophies and silverware and everything like that but also and then go basically in the legend of the english game and awsome. and japan have won the women's asian cup title after beating australia one nil in the final and jordan. scored the only goal of the match in the eighty fourth minute to fire the holders to the second title they become the first nation to

successfully defend the asian women's cup since korea in two thousand and. ten it's now well number one rafael nadal has edged closer to record the extending eleventh title at the monte carlo masters the spaniard thrashed wald number seven dominique tam to reach the semifinals dropping just two games to the austrian this is just an adult second tournament to all but two thousand and eighteen after he injured his head at january's australian open. i think i played fantastic match this afternoon. difficult to imagine much playing better than what they did this afternoon. no mistakes getting caught up when i was running the court taking the ball early with the back and so in general terms i i think i played great so happy to be in the semifinals again sorry for the many who don't think it is a good friend. but now he may look like or die he's one of the real candidates to

win everything that he's going. next out for in the dollars walled number five grigor dimitrov of all korean belgium's david got five straight sets to advance to the last four and monte carlo for the first time. in the other half of the draw was a birthday to remember for world number four alexander's very heavy as he reached the samis for the first time the german who turned twenty one on friday fought back from a set down to be to the shock us cave for the fourth straight time. and instead will play japan's gain isha corey in the last fall the former world number four winning a three set battle with walden number three mar in chile she corey was. continuing his that comeback from a wrist injury prevailing in just sort of three hours to reach his biggest semi final since two thousand and six i. and also his fall from we'll have more later on

thank you very much santa now box office receipts in china have outstripped that of the u.s. for the first time in the first quarter of this year box office figures topped three point two billion dollars and the big attraction is homemade movies they say jim brown now reports. thanks for the tagline is unashamedly patriotic anyone who have friends china will be killed no matter how far the target is. the book the film is wolf warrior to set in a pictish is african country it's about a chinese special forces veteran who single handedly rescues chinese and local citizens. citizens held by western mercenaries. the film taps into a growing mood of national pride in today's china and features close replicas of many of the latest weapons used by the chinese military but the current wave of

patriotic films is not the result of government pressure insists one film scholar. chinese mainstream films are not controlled by the garment it's achievement was not made through government policies such a huge growth of the box office and a huge market cannot simply be created through some policies of government documents. this week the stars of china's film industry are attending beijing's annual film festival which began in two thousand and eleven among the films nominated for an award is another with a strong patrick the but one which depicted gay love was dropped. films reflecting government thinking are likely to become more prolific in the years ahead that's because the body that regulates china's film and t.v. industry is being scrapped that job is now going to be done by the communist party's propaganda department

islands when the us was getting ready to clean up and leave at least nine hundred seventy s. picked the pit that had been left by one of the smaller atomic explosions and dumped a lot of who tony and other radioactive waste into the pit the bottom of the dome permeable soil there was nowhere for the wind it and therefore the seawater is inside the dome when this dome was built there was no factoring in sea level rises caused by climate change now every day when the tide rolls out radioactive isotopes from underneath the die roll out with it. really. just the marshall islands we're talking. sweet.
