led airstrikes under is a syria expert at the washington institute for near east policy he says israeli attacks targeting iranian bases in syria have continued for some time now it seems as if it's israeli strike yet to be confirmed but the targets in the recent history of israel bombing inside of syria just soused response these are bases bases for iran and regime forces inside syria iranian forces are spread out throughout the country they are backers of bashar al assad on the ground and israel has launched a new target. as they spread throughout the country these bombings and rocket attacks. going on for several months i think are going to continue with iran and its proxies against israel allies in what way may be seen. earlier syrian

that supports proxy militias and terrorist groups it arms it is an arms dealer to the who the rebels. in iran conduct cyber hacking campaigns. supports the murderous assad regime as well compares arrival in riyadh followed a barrage of eight ballistic missiles fired into saudi territory by hooty fighters in yemen the u.s. and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran. and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions for its violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of their being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost interchangeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's

dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east the remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing to do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem for the fourteenth of may the day the israeli state was declared seventy years ago on maintain that final boundaries within jerusalem were up for negotiation that the us was committed to a lasting peace between israel and the palestinians there was no mention though of the recent demonstrations along the gaza border fence where israeli snipers have shot unarmed protesters killing dozens and injuring hundreds my pompei was a different proposition from his predecessor rex tillerson who spent most of his tenure as secretary of state in a state of at best semi detachment from the white house on pay it was seen as very close to president trump in particular on the issue of iran and so that gives his

words extra weight even perhaps especially when they mirror one of to listens frequent messages that saudi arabia's blockade on cantars should and they also stress to the foreign minister that go for unity is necessary we need to achieve it a report in the new york times said the message away from the cameras. was more direct enough is enough stop the blockade by the time pompei are moved on to jordan his chief aim seemed established laying the groundwork for tough action against iran clear to the obstacles the e.u. russia and china have all warned against scrapping the nuclear deal the decision will be donald trump's the deadline may the twelfth ari force it out west jerusalem and we're getting some breaking news out of afghanistan we have reports of an explosion in the capital kabul kabul has seen a number of attacks in recent months last week at least sixty people were killed in a suicide attack at a voter registration center more details on that developing story for you as soon as we can. they be on the road from months now and the so-called migrant caravan

central america seeking asylum doesn't mean that they will have to accept them it doesn't mean that the asylum seekers will get residence in the united states but they will at least get some sort of an administrative hearing unfortunately for those people who have come up from central america seeking refuge in the united states about three quarters of all the requests for asylum from central americans to come into the united states are denied ok let's cross the border now to manuel or apolo who's on the mexican side near the city of tijuana. it was supposed to be the end of a long journey for members of a migrant group finally arriving at the us mexico border crossing here in t one a however u.s. customs and border protection announced that they would not be allowing individuals that lacked the proper legal documentation to cross into the united states now the

spirits were higher earlier today members of this migrant group are celebrating at the u.s. border wall with they thought would be the end of their time here in mexico again these are individuals that are mostly from central america countries like salvator want tamala countries they're having a high level of violence individuals members of this migrant group are fleeing the violence associated with street gangs others are fleeing domestic abuse others are fleeing high levels of of poverty and these are folks that have been traveling for a very long time over a month now and it seems as though many will have to wait a little longer before they are able to turn themselves into u.s. border authorities as weeks of protests continue on the israel border the highest authority in the palestinian liberation organization is up for election for the first time in over two decades the palestinian national council will elect a new executive committee at the convention in ramallah and it's also a platform to discuss potential successors to the president mahmoud abbas the p n c

have him in jail for ten years and also defaming a senior military official those supposed to be one year those reduced to a collective seven years about eighteen months ago now we've been in touch with his daughter straight the way through the days leading up to his release he came out much earlier than many people expected five am local time he was greeted by some dozens of supporters now coming out of just steps out of this prison that has been his home for the last seven years he has said he's going to stick to his cause fronting the idea that the laws of last month just a defaming the world family here they need to change that has been something he has held as one of the important things that need to change in the thai structure he also said that he's going to draw join the pro-democracy movement here since he was in jail there's been a military coup in the military government is still running this nation he says he's going to join the cause for pro-democracy and to make sure that there are elections soon now this is a case that many are focused on it's called one one two here locally in thailand

because since the military government came into control they're using these laws to jail political distance and also critics so again as we hear something out is going to continue with his cause and obviously to see in the coming weeks coming days what he's going to say more publicly about this and how this pro-democracy movement is going to incorporate him into their protest about having elections here in thailand. a u.n. security council delegation has listened to her rowing stories from hundreds of refugees who fled a military crackdown and me and mom the meetings took place across the border in bangladesh where some seven hundred thousand are still living in makeshift camps charles stratford has that story from cox's bazaar. this is how the british ambassador to the united nations was greeted to refute camp post of the bangladesh border. the twenty four un security council delegation led by britain peru and kuwait came to assess the situation on the ground for more than

a million refugees living here seven hundred thousand of whom flipped the crackdown by the myanmar military which began in august they heard stories like these. i was raped they killed my husband they burnt my two year old son i saw five men rape a twelve year old girl and then kill her we want justice from the. thousands of refugees lined the roads as the delegation of vehicles passed many held signs demanding justice and help. in the cucolo refugee camp the delegates were split into groups to listen to more stories from victims of violence one man told them the myanmar government would never tell them the truth do your investigations from your own countries he said britain's u.n. ambassador said it was vital the international community act with one voice we need to go back and evaluate what we've seen on this trip and see if we can come together to build on the unified feeling that the security council had back in

november when it called on the government of myanmar to do certain things to protect their way and allow them to go back in conditions of safety so i think that's the immediate short term priority myanmar has banned any independent investigation into what the u.n. says is ethnic cleansing of the ranger fans doesn't recognize them as an ethnic group he calls them. what was then the burmese government stripped ranger of their citizenship in one thousand nine hundred two last november the security council passed the resolution demanding beyond muffled to military action against the ranger but the potential for veto power of myanmar allies china and russia has stalled anything stronger than that at a news conference china's representative stated his country's position. is to seize majlis to cease fire so he's to try to find a solution to something i. just

tried to look for sees when a journalist asked the u.n. delegates which of them used the word ranger china's representative appeared not to understand but didn't raise his hand later he told me china respects walk richenda call themselves united nations security council delegation came there to assess the magnitude of this crisis and what they've seen today and some of the stories that they've heard of no doubt giving them a fair indication of just how terrible the situation is here. it's fair to say they will probably hear a very different story in me and from the government there and that means translating their findings into concrete unified political action at the security council could remain a challenge for some time yet so i'll stop at al-jazeera part of the refugee camp on the dish. now to pakistan where tens of thousands of people turned up in a rally the opposition leader in run car as he launched his election campaign to
