aggressors you bring invaders here from all over the world we will kill them and we will burn them to the leaders and dozens of fighters were killed in another saudi led coalition air strike on saturday saudi state television says the strike targeted a high level meeting at the these interior ministry in santa after three years of fighting and no end to the war in sight analysts say the saudi led coalition is trying something new the saudis are stepping up their game. targeting higher higher level officials and the hope is as well are also are there also to stepping up their game firing more and more ballistic missiles into saudi territory i think the message is clear that they still believe both parties still believe that they're the only solution is a military solution but it's a risky strategy the fighters say they're more determined than ever to continue their fight for control of yemen. this protest was made for our president.

and we tell him that we will keep going on your path and we will not drift away his death strengthened us and provided us with resistance god willing we will not drift away. it's a conflict that's already killed thousands of people and caused the united nations says is the world's worst humanitarian crisis now there are signs of an escalation from both sides saudi arabia says it intercepted full hitty missiles fired from yemen targeting the city of g.'s than victoria gate and b. al-jazeera. doctors in gaza say they are unable to cope with the latest influx of palestinians engineering friday border protests four people were killed and about nine hundred were wounded as israeli soldiers fired on crowds along the fence israel's military also struck six more hamas targets in gaza on saturday stephanie deca reports this is the first time the israeli military has responded with

military force against hamas targets and what it calls a response to the protests at the fence a statement from the army issued on friday night said that this was in response to a mass infiltration attempt at the border fence one of those strikes here in gaza port at two small boats overnight now what we've been seeing here is thousands of people who have lost their fear certainly this friday the most dramatic yet when you saw a surge of thousands of people heading towards that fence israeli forces opened fire but what people have been telling us is that they have lost their fear we can keep saying that but the situation here has become that desperate everyone you speak to here will tell you it is the worst that it has been since hamas took over the gaza strip there are no jobs the economy is dire people cannot afford to feed their families there's four hours of electricity a day if that medical supplies are in short supply the water is contaminated the

water you see here has rule of sewage going into it the list is goes on and on i think this is why we're seeing so many people who don't care whether they're going to be facing life fire at the border fence certainly that's what we saw happen on friday. it happened all of a sudden a surge towards the border fence running in a different direction from where the protests have been focused all day these really soldiers had to reposition themselves the army issued a statement saying there was an attempt to infiltrate the border that they acted within the rules of engagement to through or to the soldiers opened fire. it went on for quite some time yet. ambulances raced to pick up the wounded similar but the guys suddenly ran in this direction to the fence they threw stones at the soldiers then the israelis opened a heavy fire there are many injuries so there really is

a feeling here that people have lost their fear israel has said it will shoot the ball they get right up to the border fence and the people here will tell you they have absolutely nothing left to lose earlier in the day a small victory for these young boys israeli forces had warned the protesters over a speakerphone in arabic to move back from the fence. when they didn't. to deal with the tear gas homemade gas masks and now being sold it could demo on how to use them these young men part of a generation who grew up under the blockade there are no jobs no opportunities they are stuck here as a business and we get power from a peaceful protest they get their power from rifles and but it's because that potations will confront their rivals with our best chests we have rights and we need our freedom. these three seem to discuss tactics maybe hoping for a brief moment of pride against one of the best equipped armies in the world now

there was no obvious. the time. he was writing. for the new king are the first generation done to avoid what they want is change to be given their rights and their freedom and you can see that despite the dangers of getting not put to the fight no one is stopping the this friday has been described by many here as the most dramatic yet because the protesters came right up to israel spends israel's intelligence agency and the army have borne the israeli government that gaza could explode if the current restrictions continue they may be right people here say they've lost their fear that life in gaza has become unbearable that they have nothing left to lose stephanie decker or jazeera east gaza russia's foreign

minister has accused the u.s. of trying to divide syria into parts sergey lavrov made the comments in moscow while meeting his turkish and iranian counterparts to discuss the war in syria the talks are being held ahead of the next round of the astonished process and ending of violence lavrov also took aim at other western powers local church while we are building options to pay some of the of a colleague's a trying to destroy the results of our joint constructive efforts not even following the international law like in the recent operation by the u.s. u.k. and france against syria well iran's foreign minister condemned the use of chemical weapons in syria and expressed support for international inspections. we hope that an impartial international investigation on site will be carried out as soon as possible and will bear fruit and we hope the overall trajectory of the global community to adhere to the chemical weapons prohibition to mention will act

in the same vein or challenge has more from moscow. this meeting was a way for russia turkey and iran co-sponsors of the standard talks to set the scene for the next round of those negotiations which are in a couple of week's time a the fourteenth and fifteenth the three countries here although they have been pushing these negotiations into their ninth rounds now. do have disagreements they have disagreements over the future of president bashar al assad's turkey has always thought that he shouldn't be part of syria's future and turkey also disagrees with russia on iran over the recent u.s. u.k. and french airstrikes which were a response to what those three countries said was a chemical weapons attack in duma now turkey supports though that view and thinks that the russian perspective that this has set back the political process in syria

is not necessarily true but the turks do have criticisms of the united states saying that they should give up their ongoing support for the kurds when we do get to the next round of a start of talks in a couple of weeks we're likely to see. a similar situation to previous times which is that the opposition are reluctance to come now the route the opposition has always felt the. talks were essentially a sideshow a distraction from what should be taking place which is the resumption of negotiations in geneva the official u.n. sponsored talks and the opposition has long felt that what a star is essentially doing is just hollowing out geneva stripping it of all the main political platforms political points and essentially giving cover for russia and the syrian government forces on the ground to continue

pushing home their military advantage. meanwhile at least eighteen people have reportedly been killed in syria's largest palestinian refugee camp over the past twenty four hours. syrian government is trying to retake several neighborhoods in southern damascus including the are moved refugee camp from i still fight says activists believe about half of the camp has been destroyed just over a week into the offensive a palestinian refugees in syria are already facing financial uncertainty following the u.s. decision to cut funding to the un agency assigned to help them the u.n. has launched an emergency appeal to cover the shortfall it's warning won't be able to provide cash assistance for much longer say in a honda reports from beirut. he was aboard a refugee thirty years later she became a refugee again a palestinian from syria to lebanon with her family to escape the war in

neighboring syria it's been hard she needs a kidney operation her sons need medical care as well but the little money she earns as a cleaner is used for food and rent jumana receives cash assistance from the united nations relief and works agency under water but the organization is warning that it is running out of money and the money of all. i am sick but i have to work i clean garbage on the streets and people's homes my husband finds occasional jobs under what gives us around two hundred forty dollars a month but it can't be the four thousand five hundred dollars i need for my kidney operation under what can only give me one thousand five hundred dollars. the arrival of more than thirty thousand. years has added strain to the u.n. agency provide services like health care education to almost two hundred thousand palestinians living here the u.s. decision to cut back funding has made the agency's financial situation worse it's

appealing for more money to be able to continue helping refugees in syria and those in neighboring countries. there are almost half a million palestinians in syria at least one hundred twenty thousand of the population have since fled to jordan lebanon turkey. nearly sixty percent have been internally displaced by the war. before the war seventy percent of palestinians are dependent on. government services. and. five percent of those living in syria are entirely dependent on the services it provides. he had a good life back home now he. says the cash assistance he receives has been halved. or what used to give us. the case situation. think about it. is many.

children and. they're not. forced to work he earns seven dollars a day. without additional. cash assistance to refugees. who at such a young age is the breadwinner of the family. you at the news hour live from london much more still ahead as anti-government protests continue in on media the ruling party says it won't put forward a candidate for prime minister. we speak during the refugees about the horrors they say they faced at the hands of myanmar military and how a nascar practice turned out to be a terrifying experience for this driver. of the details coming up in sports. if you're.

newly appointed u.s. secretary of state my bio has arrived in saudi arabia head of a three day trip to the region one by a was sworn into his new post on thursday of his predecessor rex tillerson was sacked last month he's holding talks with the saudi foreign minister idealogues you bear before having dinner with the crown prince mohammed bin cell mun they are expected to discuss the iran nuclear deal following donald trump's threats to pull the u.s. out of the accord next month kristen salumi joins us live now from washington what is the general view of expectations a light in the post particularly in the way he may or may not compare to his predecessor. well my campaign was known to be a hard liner on iran and that's likely to be reassuring to the saudis he talked about wanting to roll back the nuclear agreement when he was in congress and he certainly has a lot more in common with president trump on this issue than his predecessor rex

tillerson tillerson was not a big fan of the deal which would cut which oversees the deceased disarming of iran's nuclear facilities. he was not a big fan of it either but he was more sympathetic to the european point of view which is that withdrawing from this agreement would set things back and blow things up so there's been a lot of pressure on the trump administration from these allies to stay in the deal but pompei o as i said very much in keeping with the trump position that the deal is a bad one for the united states and they are fast approaching the deadline of may twelve which is when the president must decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions on iran which many believe will be the end of the deal if that goes forward and pompei o has been warning european allies that that is likely to be the case moving forward he's also likely to talk to his counterparts in the middle east about what's happening in syria as well we know the trump administration is calling on

countries in the gulf to do more in terms of funding and troops to help stabilize syria so lots of things for them to talk about the state department says that the saudis are a key ally of the united states in the region there are crucial and they say it's a strong partnership between the saudis and the americans are crucial to a peaceful and prosperous future for the middle east how important is it. is in saudi arabia and then later on in israel so soon after being confirmed in the post . yeah he announced this trip just hours after being confirmed in congress for the post of secretary of state the department said no other secretary of state had hit the road so quickly after being confirmed we know now that he was even in north korea prior to being confirmed so he really hit the ground running here but he had visited saudi arabia when he was cia director last year it was president trump's first visit to the region and president trump's first

foreign visit was to saudi arabia and israel as well so not surprising that he would follow the priorities he's headed to israel next and then jordan after that. all right well thanks very much kristen salumi with all the latest from washington . also have more on this i'm joined in the studio by indigent palmer who is a professor of international politics at city university in london thanks very much for coming in so the trip in itself comes as no surprise my home page is spending some time with america's traditional allies but does the pace of the trip suggest some sense of urgency it icky as we head towards another crucial deadline on the iran nuclear deal who has two things or three things really the one is the nato visit which really shores up the allies in regard to russia the expulsion of diplomats before the poisoning it britain allegation as well as only the situation in syria the second thing of course is a syria and then the iran nuclear agreement so i think as your correspondent just

so there's a new term to bolster the allies and there are some deadlines approaching and all trumpet said that he wanted to pull american troops out of syria just before the strikes and i think there is probably going to be discussion about saudi led arab force in syria maybe to replace or to in order be able to get some of the american troops out and i understand the on offer to saudi exchange for that maybe a kind of or the status of a major non nato ally which then opens up a very large different kind of weapons systems and arms sales and security linkages with that country we saw there rex tillerson was often at loggerheads with his boss how might a closer relationship between my pompei and donald trump in terms of policy substance and style impact u.s. foreign policy while it might not where was already declared he's going to put

a bit of swagger into the state department and american diplomacy and of course rex tillerson was a much more kind of sober traditional sort of old school individual he's much on the same page ideologically. and stylistically as well and so i suspect that when he speaks to the allies they are listening to what donald trump is thinking and that may actually then bolster their support or least their knowledge uncertainty about what may be happening or perhaps cause tensions with america's allies given some of these positions are must admit i'm a little bit suspicious about the so-called tension between european powers and the united states on the iran question because mccrone and merkel although they keep saying that they want to keep the agreement intact they seem to want to bring in the ballistic missile testing into that agreement and i think they're very interested in the overall goal i suspect of rolling back a green in influence in the middle east broadly that has changed the geopolitics of

that of that region as did trumps first visit to saudi after richard blockade of qatar began as you recall and now iran turkey and russia are discussing syria but you mention the blocking of catherine and the gulf cooperation council has been a rare event by this division between saudi arabia and the u.a.e. on the one hand at her on the other will repairing fixing this rift between america's allies be a priority for him i would think that they would want to do that unfortunately i think once you release a particular kind of a line of attack on a particular state and they begin to then hedge their relationships with other states like iran and so on then i think it's not so easy to roll it back because that particular state thinks well we maybe need to retain our level of independence of action in future so if you hedge one ally against a new on it gives you a bit more leverage in regional affairs thanks very much appreciate your analysis

and the chief thank you. now to our media where the ruling party has announced it will not nominate a candidate for prime minister based on the massive anti-government protests in the city of canary demanding an end to what they say is the ruling elites running the country winks out rest as lead to the resignation of such seconds young as prime minister and an interim leader installed robin for a stand walker reports from the arab on. the opposition movement have taken their actions on the road and they have been visiting different parts of armenia today they were invited the third largest city in the country and it's difficult really to get a sense that this country is almost entirely nichol passion and his nomination as the candidate for prime minister and when it was announced by him that the republican party the unpopular governing party said it would not be

fielding a candidate the crowds erupted and. the tens of thousands of people again to gather on tuesday and surround the parliament and make it clear that the popular will of the armenian people is to elect a new prime minister. and now and also the possibility that this is a barring an effort by the republican party in which they may choose to abstain not submit a candidate abstain and therefore. would not be able to be selected because at the moment he doesn't have enough seats in parliament he doesn't have a majority. we will have to wait and see over the coming days whether or not members of the republican party are willing to jump ship and join this opposition movement. now koreans watching friday's historic meeting between can earn and lungi in seoul vastly different coverage depending on which side of the border they were

on while many south koreans had free access to the leaders' summit in the north and message was tightly controlled james bays reports from sell across south korea people watching the historic summit closely some were overwhelmed by the images the first time they'd seen a north korean leader step foot in their country the declaration that was signed was a declaration of intent nothing is actually changed yet but it could mean a very different political future for the next generation of koreans while south korea had wall to wall coverage of the events in north korea on state controlled media or more edited version was presented people here of not yet been told of the possibility of the next meeting being between their leader and president trump experts say one of the people closest to kim is likely to be involved in changing

the official narrative well for north korea the all of the media are controlled by the propaganda an education department which kim your junk consignments younger sister who we saw you know accompany him he also came here to the olympic games he works in that department which indicates a very very high priority for the north korean regime joining the summit president mungy in and supreme leader kim jong un met alone face to face for over thirty minutes trump is also said to favor a meeting one on one with no eggs a former senior official who worked on north korea both at the white house and later at the u.n. has this advice for the u.s. president. stablish in a good personal relationship that would lay the groundwork for real detailed talks among experts i think is the best way to go and this could be

a very highly successful meeting if done the right way after the very high profile summit the next stage of the diplomatic process will take place well away from the spotlight the lines of communication between pyongyang seoul and washington will remain open as they discuss the substance and venue of all possible trouble kim summers jamesburg zira seoul south east asian leaders have been warned a growing trade dispute between the u.s. and china is pushing the economic growth at risk speaking a regional summit singapore's prime minister the leaders of the ten country plot to do more to promote free trade is also warned of the growing threat of cyber attacks we need to be resilient to pull conventional threats and also unconventional threats such as terrorism and cyber attacks some of these issues that piece but these threats are very real crisis continues to propagate if you want to cheat and to foment trouble in southeast asia despite having been defeated militarily in the

middle east and we're also seeing more tax as we push for digital rights issues so ahead for you this hour why this site could be evidence of the largest child sacrifice ritual in the wild joyce banda is back the former president of malawi returns to the country risking arrest and often disappointment for his team will tell you why mary donate is the one left needing a helping hand. how it was still got some rather lively showers across parts of the middle east northern parts of the middle east in particular just around the events area clouds swirling away but it should drier and quiet as we go on through the next few days

they will still be wanted to showers they've towards but root for example could catch a sharp twenty four celsius i think it will be largely dry the wetter weather starting to push its way further east was starting to peter out to go through sunday on into monday the showers become fewer and further between but a bit of cloud there over towards afghanistan kabul it twenty nine celsius further north tashkent a little cloudy here as well as of around twenty eight degrees some cloud to into the arabian peninsula but generally winding down nicely thirty four celsius here in doha think of cloud is down towards the southern end of the red sea western parts of yemen just around the gulf of aden over the next couple of days you might just catch one or two showers along the coastal fringes dohan that is temperatures picking up thirty five celsius dry fine and sunny fog in sunny too across the western cape at present after a recent spell of useful rainfall into cape town dry brush the weather is coming back in cape town eighteen degrees celsius on sunday and

a touch warmer for monday. he has no passport yet he's politically active in two countries i was the only one who would stand up our peaceful transition when because of the short term it's part you know part of the world some people think you are stupid or crazy if you do that mikhail saakashvili former president of georgia and ex governor of the odessa region in ukraine talks to al jazeera there's no one way of telling the story a key thing is to write and to be respectful messages it is great we have to get to know the person fully tells. the scene for us whether online what is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on set there are people that there are choosing between buying medication and eating this is

a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and she's close to the story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. welcome back to look at the top stories now saudi coalition as strikes have reported they killed two to three leaders and the yemeni capital sana that says thousands of people turned out for the funeral of a nice economic killed by a strike last week. at least eighteen people have reportedly been killed during fighting in syria's largest palestinian refugee camp in the past twenty four hours government troops are trying to drive i still fighters out of the camp in southern

what is expected to be a tightly controlled two day trip the inability of the united nations security council to take strong action against myanmar is largely because of china's veto power china has big business interests inside myanmar and especially in rakhine state myanmar so far has banned any independent investigation into alleged atrocities and it seems highly unlikely that this visit by a united nations security council delegation here will lead directly to me being called to account but pressure is growing on me. the u.s. state department is leading an investigation into claims of extrajudicial killings rape and arson by the military. a repatriation plan by pairing with a should be more allowing refugees to voluntarily return has so far failed to get off the ground. says he will never return to me and more or less the government

tens of millions of dollars mr golden from this day she thanks to those who turned out to greet her. i'm told are you surprised but you know putin and i'm sure it did too that you came. obama was malawi's first female president and the second woman to lead an african country the cash gate scandal in two thousand and thirteen so thirteen million dollars stolen from state coffers in the space of just six months the scandal her malawi's international reputation foreign donors pulled one hundred fifty million dollars in aid from the country there is still an active arrest warrant for bandit a fact that led to dispose in a planned return to malawi last year so i'm joined in the studio now by alex vines the head of the africa program at the chatham house think tank here in london thanks very much for coming in to speak to us why is joyce banda risking arrest by returning to malawi now off to four years away almost simply she's homesick she wanted to go back to malawi she wants to go back to her house no zomba and so it's

four years and she thought this is time to return i think she's also had a conversation with the current president the first of the two rica to try and ensure that she had a soft landing in terms of her have you spoken to her recently most not this year i haven't spoken to her but i do know her for many years including when she was a women's human rights activist in malawi long before any of us thought she could be or would become a president. she is a malawian part shit but is the country that shoot shoot shoot loves and was brought up and i don't think she particularly enjoyed doing the the talk circuit and staying research institutes you know. cities and think tanks over the last four years in the united states her husband's also been pretty ill so another incentive for her to come home so she's homesick and she's returning home for. personal reasons ysaye time could she still have a political ambitions as well. that's

a good question let's wait she is giving a speech at a political rally tomorrow and i think that will signal whether she's go any ambitions a toll politically for the elections next year in malawi chances i think a pretty do loads to succeed in being elected a future president again in malawi particularly because of this cash gate scandal that you've already talked about. a bit does that mean did it have a significant impact on support for her kitchen still a number of people gathering to receive her on her return to the country a lot of people pleased to see have she lost a lot of support as well she's lost a lot of support she does have a hard core support for her peepee party but look politics in malawi is also regionally an effort to the base that plays a role to into all of this and so she will attract a certain number of voters but she she was damaged by this cash gate scandal has no doubts about it from my understanding the investigations that have been ongoing

don't suggest necessary she was knowingly involved in all of this which is another reason i think she's probably done that risk assessment full ok probably is safe for me now to return home now for us still costs account of her and over the country lee speaking about the way it's affected malawi's international reputation oh indeed i mean it's national donna suspended their right to malawi and there was a very difficult period malawi has restored its relationships now we have international partners although it is a very a dependent country still one of the most a dependence in africa and well we'll see what joyce banda does now she has a good activist credentials prior to being president and she has spent four years on the lecture thinks so we'll see what she does next thank you very much alex vines head of the africa program at chatham house. we go to argentina now where the

annual when is ours book fair has kicked off on a political note organizers say there's been a drop off in book sales due to the struggling economy and high inflation to raise a bow has more on what they're doing to keep people reading. they want to cite his book fair began with a protest against the government of president. was. students protested against education reform and the president of the book foundation used his initial remarks to draw attention to a drop in book sales in the country. we are demanding a decrease in taxes that takes our competitiveness in the region we are sorry to say that the government is not buying the books it usually does imports of increase in exports remain the same they want to cite his book fair as one of the most important in the spanish speaking world the place where authors and publishers reach out to the public. says he tries to be here every year even bought

a version of one of them it is important to be here and gain new clients our challenges to edit new titles to get people interested it is a sacrifice because it's not cheap but worth it because we make connections with people from all around the world the theory lasts for about three weeks and authors from all over the world are expected to show up among them two nobel prize winners about a million people are expected to visit this book fair this year but argentina's economy continues to struggle with fine for nation among other problems and that's why the organizers are giving all sorts of incentives so that people continue to buy books there are events for children as well so san antonio says she comes with her family every year. this is the most important event of the year for us we come during the week because it think it is cheaper and we wait for the fed to buy the school books because we get much better prices here a major cultural event that organizers hope won't be tarnished by the political
