species citizens unable to vote on represented in washington the members of congress did nothing about us like a part of the constituents in their responsibility and that is what's underneath this crisis phone lines because it's the island devastated by hurricane maria and demanding the support of the u.s. government. citizens in this government has a responsibility as you know nothing to forget the. shelter of the storm on al-jazeera. al jazeera. and for you.

this is al-jazeera live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the news friday the middle east and on the gaza israel border more protests more tear gas more on the rest of coniston into parts of the anniversary of what they call the knockabout the creation of israel. once again down the to protest and been met by israeli forces on the border coming up a live update from our correspondent who has watched the whole day on the fault also on the grid an argument between the united states and china in the skies over africa china accused of using high powered lasers to disrupt u.s. military planes here at chinese bison djibouti it's a dangerous practice it can lead to pilot injury chando says. which country keeps getting forgotten about all the way down there in the south pacific give you a hint it's my home country and it's got to the point where. a prime minister has

been enlisted to help put new zealand on. donald trump and his vice president are addressing at least seventy thousand gun enthusiasts at the annual convention of the national rifle association some of their strongest critics though are the students who survived a school shooting and partly in florida earlier this year both sides are taking shots at the gun debate and taking the conversation online and we are being connected that for the hash tag team is going to. be with the news great live on air in streaming online through you tube facebook live at al-jazeera dot com it is friday and unfortunately it has meant more violence at the gaza israel border since the end of march we've seen weekly demonstrations and indeed this is how it all played out earlier today is ready forces firing tear gas near the border after hundreds of palestinians gathered after friday prayers gaza health officials said ten people were injured this is all part of what's known as the great march of return it began with palestinians

demonstrating near the border for their right of return to their homeland israel though accuses hamas in gaza of plotting attacks on the cover of these protests here is harry force that live at the border he's been reporting all day from there talk us through what's happening right now. well right now the numbers are starting to dwindle a little bit from what we saw an hour ago but the main pattern of this protest remains the same there is as you can see over my right shoulder a gathering of protesters at the border at that location more tear gas as well as being fired in the last couple of seconds what happened was that from the main protest area a few hundred meters further north of that location there was tires that were burnt there people were throwing stones using slings and then they started to move in re congregate at this second location and they've been there for

a couple of hours or so in the last ten or fifteen minutes we've been hearing a bit of an uptick in the use of live fire it's not clear if that fire is being directed at the protesters or in the air but certainly we've seen a number of ambulances going in there the figures we have at the moment from the gaza health ministry remain one hundred seventy injured up and down the border fence at the five locations so far on friday twenty two of those injured by live fire but that figure came in about forty five minutes ago or so and there has been considerable activity since then so we are expecting another update another increase in that number harry judging by the previous weeks how does this then pan out over the coming hours as darkness falls as it will peter out again and then we wait for the next week to come as we approach the nakba. i think that is the expectation here certainly i think it's always hard to say but it seems that service friday's protest probably peaked about an hour or two ago and we are seeing

a lot of people starting to stream home and that doesn't say that things will entirely finish usually there will be several protesters who stay late or things can get dangerous as well in terms of of live fire being used against them as darkness falls and so it's not over by any stretch but as you say the real build up now is towards the fourteenth and fifteenth of may the state of israel was declared on the fourteenth of may for midnight that day on in one hundred forty eight seventy years ago these protests are all geared towards marking that day that the palestinians call nakba the catastrophe it also coincides with the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem after donald trump's declaration that jerusalem was recognized by the u.s. as israel's capital so that particular confluence of dates is likely to be the real climax and people are obviously concerned that violence could escalate again around

that period our forces on the gaza israel border we will come back to of course if developments horrific events change there are we going to latest updates page on this one as well stretches right back to those first protests on march thirty and then as we say culminating may fifteenth which is the seventieth anniversary of what palestinians call the naacp by the creation of israel this is a really good page to keep across for all these latest developments that there is actually just a list of all the names of the forty one palestinians have been killed since the start of these protests if you search for gaza protests at zero dot com you'll find that one pretty easily. and if you want to get in touch with us please do as well the hash tag is a.j. news grid of course on twitter we are at a.j. english where using that account there will be a tweet there you can reply to that thread and is looking out for your feedback today he's our social media producer at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera that is the facebook live fade where you can watch you can comment you can send us you can

companies that are related to the u.a.e. so it's a military and geopolitical strategy which is very much linked to the economic strategy of you know united arab emirates having already invested heavily in somaliland and expanded the commercial port of beara the u.a.e. has control of the culture is seen by many is the latest move by the emirates to spread its influence well beyond its borders people have often remarked on the strategic value of sokoto or there have been speculations that. one power or another my tried actually establish a presence on the island but. with the war in yemen entering its fourth year the u.a.e. now controls much of the south of the country with a strong presence on both sides of the entrance to the red sea and so katra place right in the middle alex could topless al-jazeera. now president trump is on his way to dallas to speak at the annual convention of the n.r.a. the national rifle association but it is as they say the optics of this event that

has many criticizing the president this convention of course just a few months after seventeen students were killed in a shooting at a florida high school and several of those victims parents will be among the hundreds of people planning to protest at the convention this weekend we've got kimberly how the white house to talk us through. this one kimberly where does president trump currently stand with the n.r.a. the reason i ask is because i seem to remember him saying something awhile ago about well you've got to fight back sometimes or you've got to you've got to fight them sometimes. right and following the parklane shooting canal you remember it really seemed to be almost a turning point the gun debate in the united states we saw that sort of mass protests of really a creation of the youth movement demanding some form of gun control to cut down gun violence in the united states and the president seemed very responsive to their message at that time you have to remember donald trump was once

a democrat before he was a republican so he seemed open to the message that was being spread around the united states but it's not likely we're going to hear much of what you point out were donald trump said you have to fight the national rifle association sometimes you have to fight them once in a while i think is the exact quote and here's why because certainly donald trump did respond in limited measures it's the congress that makes him changes laws in the united states not the white house so well he did put in place some efforts to limit the sale of stocks that were used in the las vegas shooting to murder ten dozens of people because of the increased fire power that comes with a bump stop being added on to a rifle that's as far as he went and we haven't seen much change beyond the status quo since then likely that will be the message that donald trump will be delivering when he speaks to these gun rights supporters this is the thing because he goes to

an event at the n.r.a. a lot of the people attending are what you would consider part of his base he has to appeal to them doesn't he. yes he does because this is a very important election year kemal twenty eighteen congressional elections and republicans including the president are very nervous right now because the polls seem to indicate we can't always trust the polls but they seem to indicate a blue wave that's what we're hearing a lot about here in the united states blue being democrats that could take over in those congressional elections control of the house of representatives of potentially even the u.s. senate that would be good for donald trump it would stall his legislative agenda that's already been a challenge could mean also more investigations and sort of questioning about donald trump's conduct so he needs these supporters that have been very solid in their support of donald trump but are expecting something in return and that is a really affirming the right to bear arms of the second amendment in the united

states so expect that we're going to hear that kind of rhetoric coming from donald trump despite as you point out bit of a wavering in support around the parklane shooting and immediately after that we expect that there will be an affirmation of the national rights association and turn and affirmation of dollars from the n.r.a. good talking to you kimberly how couldn't the white house thank you the part clint students you know massively vocal at the time and we all thought this was a big sort of turning point the way they're pushing back against. the i think they've been a little quieter recently but this is another point where you you have this is definitely a time where they've built up their voices where they're talking out again because these students who did survive the parkwood school shooting in florida they're now calling the n.r.a. donald trump and mike pence hypocrites they're mad because the secret service has banned guns from the convention when pence and donald trump are supposed to speak and we're seeing lots of reactions like this saying wait you mean there won't be

any good guys with a gun to stop bad guys with guns at the n.r.a. gym bery or this one will where is the belief of more guns makes it all safer the vice president is not interested in being. in a room full of people with guns why on earth not thousands are using the hash tag no row or no n.r.a. they're calling for protests outside the convention in dallas like what kimberly how it was just mentioning there there's even a petition to get the vice president to cancel his speech it is more than fifty thousand signatures so far part of that links to the secret service saying that guns can't be in the same hall then you have folks like sandra here she says yes thank god that both vice president mike pence and president donald trump are still speaking at the n.r.a. convention there speaking for the majority of americans a lot of sentiment like this online as well now the n.r.a. said it was asked by the secret service to ban guns and that it will comply selfie sticks though are also banned this will be the fourth year in

a row that donald trump has addressed the n.r.a. last year he became the first sitting president to do so others are bringing up the fact that trump did not attend any of the funerals for the parklane victims but is still taking the time to address the n.r.a. the parklane students and the march for our lives movement are calling for a raise in the minimum age to buy a gun and an increase in background checks something donald trump has supported before and i'm a fan of the n.r.a. that means building a fan i am a big fan of the enemy that want to do what you should great people do to great patriots i love our country. but that doesn't mean we have to agree no it doesn't make sense that i have to wait till i'm twenty one to get a handgun but i can get this weapon at a kid that ever so i'm just curious as to what you did in your book. you know no we didn't dress in this present but i think what you're going to the n.r.a. . now interesting enough the convention this year on display is one of these guns

it's called the ideal conceal and it's actually made to look like a cell phone it folds up to fit in your back pocket and it's being advertised as a great option for self-defense and max concealment critics of the gun online though are asking how this could possibly be considered a good idea if you're following the story do let us know especially when donald trump and mike pence start speaking at the n.r.a. you can join in with our conversation on the hash tag jane is that kasha gun that looks like a cell phone my goodness the fact we are still talking about guns in the u.s. right now so much as a down to the students leah talked about the ones from parkland who said never again the listening post team did a great job of backgrounding them movement and how they have challenge that and all right now have head on the listening post is in the show's section of desire to be zero dot com message oh goodness me tried that episode was called hash tag never again aftermath of the florida shooting story i think that gun disguised as

a cell phone district to me begin this right we want to look at some military tensions now which are actually between the united states and china but it's happening in africa both countries have military bases in djibouti just miles apart actually and the pentagon says chinese military personnel are targeting its pilots in the area with high powered laser is china strongly denies the allegation and fact accuses the u.s. of making up phony stories u.s. officials have now urged their pilots to exercise extreme caution and have also registered a formal complaint with the chinese. how confident are you to speak chinese that are going to use ways and you said to with minor injuries could you give us an overall total of how many incidents there are i don't have a total number of that will tell you this those were two minor injuries. it's not that we're concerned only to marche so and we've asked them to investigate it's a serious matter and so we're taking a very serious in your comments the chinese are chinese nationals are very

confident nominees sure that. i can tell you the chinese side having conducted to see just checks has already clearly told us that this so-called criticisms totally do not accord with the facts. in washington to discuss this a little bit more hype i mean i've heard of these sorts of incidents where people have done that at at airports and stuff in residential areas almost trying to mess with the planes this is like taking it up to a much bigger level isn't it. it isn't the pentagon is making the accusation that these are miller military grade lasers and they say that two of their pilots they were flying a c one thirty into the american base where they had a minor injury so they were asked at the pentagon what is a minor injury me what exactly were they temporarily blinded give us some details and somewhat surprisingly because they knew that the story already leaked it was already out there they didn't have any answers so that raises a few red flags but still they say they've demarche the chinese and you might be

asking yourselves what is that don't worry you don't have to google it i just did it's a formal complaint in a formal request for them to investigate. so they say they're sending a message to the chinese of course the chinese as you just said said that this is ridiculous when newspaper with close ties to government saying why were this why were pilots flying that close to the chinese base to begin with so something that the pentagon obviously wanted out there sending a message to china basically cut it out so we'll see what happens and tell us about the strategic importance of this area the fact that there are chinese and u.s. bases in the area pretty close to each other then this is the first chinese base in africa and the u.s. was not too happy about it they sort of tried to put pressure on djibouti to say it maybe not such a great location in djibouti said no that's fine they can come on and and so the u.s. asked about that yesterday is this just further proof that you know you didn't want them so close to the american base and the answer from the pentagon is hey they can

it's their it's their country their sovereign they can invite in whoever they want but obviously being so close to each other because this is an important base this is basically the forward operating base for air united states african command and you know they're doing a lot of stealth secret stuff there when it comes to al shabaab and fighters from the islamic state where occasionally see a drone strikes or as some sort of special forces so it is an important base for the u.s. and they're sending that message to the chinese and in an incident that they say is serious but really couldn't provide any other details on to what susan appended cohan's in washington thank. my pleasure now the nobel prize for literature will not be awarded this year the swedish academy which oversees this one has been in crisis over its handling of rape and sexual assault allegations linked to one of its high ranking members.

it's a scandal that's not the swedish academy in turmoil and the nobel prize for literature on hold at least for now the academy decided this year's winner will be selected and announced in two thousand and nineteen. the confidence in the academy is so low in the world at the moment and that is the deciding reason why we now were frayne from awarding this prize eighteen women say they were raped assaulted or harassed by famous photographer john clarke not he's the husband of academy member and poet catarina frost and sun the women l. legend the abuse happened in properties owned by the swedish academy their complaints they say word nort he has denied the allegations his wife has since resigned over. the crisis has aggravated differences among its members shedding light on other problems the academy is also dealing with allegations of financial crimes and in the past names of laureates were reportedly leaked before winners

were officially announced. i think the swedish academy is worth more than that it shouldn't disappear because of the scandal which it undoubtedly is but never cademy member has done anything as far as i know. protests were held for weeks the global need to movement likely played a role in the revelations and the academy's decision. the voting process is also an issue the academy had eighteen lifetime members but several have resigned since the scandal during the organization's first female leader the harbor to yuliya them to us we only have ten members at the moment and now we really have to start electing new members and show the world that we are serious. leaders of the swedish academy which is separate from the norwegian committee that awards and nobel peace prize hope the delay will give them time to regroup and recover their once kristie shiz reputation c.l.o. this with a young al-jazeera i just want to give a little context on this as well because it's not entirely without president nobel

prizes have often been not awarded not necessarily for this reason i've gone to their website here and had a local all these nobel prizes and laureates over the years but you do we have all of these years without a nobel prize is awarded the thing you would probably noticed amongst the moral is that they happened in similar years and that is because of world war one and world war two but also the rules did say if none of the works under consideration was found to be of the importance indicated then the prize money would be reserved for the following year so they can reserve the right in this case there is a bit more controversy obviously involved with the reason for its canceling that's the nobel prize for literature ok so we're going to return to an earlier story that is of course donald trump heading to the national rifle association convention which is happening in dallas he left actually not long ago is in the end now heading there he and vice president my parents will both be speaking to the gathering there we're going to speak to robert shank about it he is in the

evangelical minister at the dietrich bonhoeffer institute also the subject of a soon to be released documentary called the armor of light which focuses i was on your changing stance on gun ownership what do you tell us quickly about that first before we get into our questions. sure well as a conservative there was a time when i took unfettered gun rights as just part of the package of conservative beliefs but i saw the damage that was being done by gun violence and realized that that isn't the best policy for the country nor for the world and so i changed my position. i get a lot of criticism for that but i think it's the right thing that we should do we need to limit access to guns they are lethal weapons they end up in the hands of dangerous people and very very serious consequences result ok so what about the president's position this i discussed this with our white house correspondent

a little bit earlier the fact that the parkland he seemed to be a little bit different and he did say sometimes you have to fight the n.r.a. or sometimes you have to push back against the n.r.a. it's not going to do that really easy this isn't the time for and. we certainly don't expect that i wouldn't expect that that i think was a glimpse at that true donald trump piece a new yorker new york has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the united states he never complained about that when he was a public figure in new york in two thousand he called for a ban on assault style rifles and then he had this little moment after parkland i think he was truly troubled very distressed by that event as all of us were but when he ran for president he was given a script by the n.r.a. if he was going to garner their support he would have to toe their line and that's what he's done ever since and that's what i expect he'll do at the convention when

he speaks there today theoretically what happens a what would happen to a president who did decide to really push back against the n.r.a. you could argue barack obama did that in his eight years but he didn't exactly have much success. no no indeed he didn't because the n.r.a. has a very effective way of punishing politicians who go up against their agenda and no doubt they warned president trump of that the day after he made his remarks about parkland there was a private meeting with n.r.a. officials at the white house there's no doubt in my mind that they warned him that they would withdraw their support and even fight him all through his presidency and certainly for his reelection and so he backed away and we saw him return to that script that they had given to him during his campaign and he had promised that he

would not be in the pocket of any lobbying group and yet he is clearly in the pocket of the n.r.a. so do you do you think they they trust him and believe him one hundred percent i only i only ask that because president trump isn't unpredictable person and i wonder if the n.r.a. is entirely confident that it that he's got it back as it were. no i'm going to let you in on a secret i remain a life member of the n.r.a. i was a member of the n.r.a. i'm still a life member of the n.r.a. i maintain my membership without paying them any money i won't give them any do or any money but i have that status and i do that so that i can access their leadership and hear from the inside and i and i get a dataflow and. i know that they don't trust donald trump there's a very tenuous relationship there and the reason is because they know who he is at his core but they also know that he's easily dominated that he loves the adulation

of the crowds he loves the the hype and the praise and that they can control him so it's a tenuous relationship but i think at the same time they're satisfied that in the end they can win domination over both him and his presidency pleasure talking to you thank you so much for your time my pleasure and donald trump's a speech to the n.r.a. you will be live on al-jazeera in a few hours time if you are watching us here on facebook live or about to bring you a special story about stolen iraqi asa facts which a finally found their way back home that it's from our friends at down to zero online and a little later gold mining companies in south africa agreeing to pay a one hundred million dollars compensation to mine it's got none disease our correspondent met one of them to hear his story.

as a string of potential rain more or less from the eastern med or from turkey and through northern iran towards afghanistan it doesn't look quite like that but that's what we that's what we're trying to show you the moment but the forecast rains are if anything moving slightly north through terror on to azerbaijan media just to the southern caucasus now we have got cloud creeping out of egypt towards jordan for example that's likely to be nothing more than to see any significant rain out of that is an increase in the cover in the sky but temperature may much the same and it's hotter further inland anyway back up to thirty five occasional showers just across the border in iran but i've told you that some of the main lot of potential rain is significant snow up in the hindu kush south of all this well it's been interesting recently we had some big thunderstorms they faded away this looks most

likely just to be clouded east and saudi and bahrain the champs about right where they should be at this time the a quite human when there's no direct wind flow around the gulf states which is the case at the moment they have been some significant showers and so has a lot of the eastern cape but not much more to come you just seen circulating here forecast wise most of southern africa now is relatively dry. each one. wants to be seen. to be. it is. the human being. this is

a really fabulous news for one of the best i've ever worked in there is a unique sense of bonding where everybody teams in. something i feel every time i get on the chair every time i interview someone we're often working around the clock to make sure that we bring events as i currently as possible to the viewer that's what people expect of us and that's what i think we really do well.

down to zero dot com what's trending as well. the garage door there and actually not a lot of the top stories are there which is always cool to see actually that you are reading something different from the team. i will point out down at number seven a protest has updates if you do and keep up to check what's going on the protests for the sixth successive we can bet is what's trending this friday down to zero dot com. so when you woke up and checked twitter first thing this morning because that is what you do don't try to deny and you would have been prompted to change your password now in an off itself this isn't

a huge shock because pos would securities important online services know it they remind you they make you choose difficult it's a lot of the time but one company telling all its users to change their possible words i have not heard of anything like that but no it's unusual i woke up to the same notification and this notice is a notification actually that come on i got along with more than three hundred thirty million other twitter users twitter said that passwords are usually encrypted but a bug stored them as plain text they said. there was no breach and that they fixed the problem but wanted everyone to change their password anyway just in case and ironically this all happened on international password day who knew that was even a thing i didn't but it celebrated every year on the first thursday of may it's supposed to spread awareness about picking the right password and protecting your content and i'm getting a step further than that they're not just choosing the right possibly because that's the whole of the thing but two factor authentication can you explain this is

a public service announcement ok lee is going to tell you why this is important right so two factor authentication is something that you can set up on your g. mail account facebook twitter instagram basically any of your social media accounts and what you do is usually go to the settings and to privacy settings and you'll find something like this where you can actually take a box at a law require a verification code when you sign and so you give this company your cell phone number usually or your e-mail and they'll text you a short little digit and you can put that then into the system and then you can logon and come on it's a way that you know that you're the only one who can be into it because sometimes i get messages that say we have some one has logged into an account here's your verification it was you but it wasn't me exactly it seems fiddly but you got to do it right and you got to choose a good post would you do so every year the security firm splash data they release a list of the most popular passwords and it's really bad at the top of the list or

one two three four five six it's one of the most popular passwords and the word password is also on the lists other words include are phrases include let me in monkey and whatever so if you gave up on trying to have a hard password you should probably change it and consider adding on that two factor authentication authentication just in a very important announcement if your password is one two three four five six then i don't know what we're going to get some more international news right now maryanne demasi is in london. hi there tomorrow yes some some news from syria actually the u.s. has frozen its funding for a syrian rescue group the white helmets washington provides about a third of the syrian civil defense organizations budget but on thursday the u.s. state department said that the funding was under review the why helmets in syria have roughly three thousand volunteer rescue workers who saved thousands of lives since the war began in two thousand and eleven. for

emmanuel mccall says as french president he is and must be neutral on the question of new caledonian independence it is for those living here to the side but meeting people on a housing estate in noumea he certainly looked like he was campaigning few doubt he would like new caledonia to stay french here though it isn't hard to find people in favor of independence even among those who have special presidential visits wave or even way french flags. i'm just wearing need to be polite to mr macro it takes air france passengers more than twenty four hours to reach new media from paris yet when they arrive they're still in france most of those who moved here from mainland france or whose families generations ago would like it to remain that way. on friday about four thousand people marched to show their support for france i've

lived here for many years and i think i played only in france is the best that we can have and we want to sort of the president of the french i would stay friends nearly a third of new caledonia is public service is a paid for by france you know not what french government grants account for about fifteen percent of total g.d.p. those supporting independence point to new caledonia is nickel exports but the price of nickel is unpredictable and then there are concerns about whether an independent new caledonia would be politically strong enough to thrive on its own. movie on the new caledonia became independent the balance in the region which china already has a lot of influence of of out of water and fiji if you caledonia independent charter would look to extend that influence here. those supporting independence though say there is a principle at stake when france color noise new caledonia didn't toss permission no we want independence because when the french arrived our country was independent

in eight hundred fifty three when the french declared issachar any of that in a nice case. a referendum in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight was seen as legitimate by many because recent arrivals from france were allowed to vote those supporting independence boycotted it violence followed in which dozens were killed no one wants a repeat most opinion polls suggest the new caledonia will stay french but for the president the result is as important only as the process unless this process is seen as legitimate and fair will be disappointed president micro is unlikely to make another trip to new caledonia before november's referendum this visit is to set the tone and rootless al-jazeera noumea. now a massive volcano eruption in hawaii is force one thousand seven hundred people to be evacuated from the. lava flows a threatening residential areas close to kill away one of the most active volcanoes

very prevalent or became very relevant during the period for many people may sixteenth was a real cultural revolution young people really wanted to break away from the french conservative establishment there was a real sense of liberation and excitement in the air and that inspired artists not just then but it continues to do so today this new mural by graffiti artist esque if echoes some of the uprisings most famous slogans. for artist bell may sixty eight was a unique moment and he continues to create art that denounces violence and oppression we know that art has to say no to all forms of repression including torture including prisoners including the slave trade that's what our art is about continuing the may sixty eight uprising in artistic form the anniversary is being marked with exhibitions across france the protests didn't succeed in immediately

bringing down the government of president shall de goal but they are shit in an era of hope and creativity at a time when many people with thirsty for change natasha butler al-jazeera paris have more from london and about fifteen minutes time now to come all into marion thank you for that so i want you to think about what you've done in the past five hundred days a period which began for the record on the twentieth of december of twenty six sting because that is how long al jazeera journalist and hussein has been in jail he was detained without charge by authorities when he was on holiday in cairo and he is unfortunately one of many journalists in egypt either heris or threatened with arrest and a government crackdown to stifle dissent or some avenge of eight as our report five hundred days locked up and counting map and hussein and al jazeera deny provoking sedition incitement against egypt and spreading false news. the u.n.

condemned his arbitrary detention hussein was stopped questioned and detained in december twenty sixth seen after travelling to cairo for a holiday since then he's been in solitary confinement and has yet to be charged the office of the un high commissioner for human rights says indefinite pretrial detention is the egyptian government's tactic to restrain anyone who dares to act independently the un human rights what he says the policy is a cornerstone of egypt's oppression of the media civil society and protesters the committee to protect journalists says egypt is a leading jailer of journalists at least twenty are in prison. advocacy that we can do by documenting attacks and repression of journalists and using every opportunity that we have to bring this to public attention around the world egypt's government has targeted other al jazeera journalists in a trial condemned almost unanimously by rights groups and journalists organizations egypt level similar charges against al-jazeera is by her mohamed mohamed fahmy and

peter greste and jail them five years ago the former editor in chief of al-jazeera arabic ibrahim helal was sentenced to death in his absence two years ago and a new antiterrorism law passed last year targets are than mediocre nations as well the committee to protect journalists says the law furthers the government's crackdown on the media it enables police to put journalists acquitted of terrorism related charges on a watch list that restricts their finances and other rights. every morning so everything long says you hear of of a case of over journalese that you know or in directly being and difficult situation under persecution and their disappearance and their arrest censorship intensified this year during the reelection campaign of president a bill for don sisi journalists critical of him or who interviewed opposition candidates but arrested entertainment and satirical t.v. shows have also been shut down egypt and journalist mohammed there was. zaid known

a crime the story of modern hussein it is produced by the lost himself an al-jazeera journalist who was jailed by egyptians is mahmoud story as told by his colleagues it is a great al-jazeera world in the documentary section and al-jazeera dot com to south africa now where gold mining companies have agreed to pay four hundred million dollars to thousands of miners as compensation this is after a class action suit cases go right back to the nine hundred sixty s. and almost all claimants are black contracted deadly lung diseases while working underground malcolm webb has the story of one miner who lost an eye while mining and then his job and lives with the killer says thomas lapel of his lungs is so badly damaged i said he struggles to create if he works any faster than. i mean. you work think gold mines in south africa for more than thirty years you met him here at his home in the mounting kingdom of. he told us

conditions were bad and worst on the report i'd. there's been a lot to how there was a lot of dust i wouldn't even be able to see a person standing right next to me they would instruct us to go in and we need to stick is who try to use the water to listen that we had no choice it was the parked it there are a few jobs here in the thirty day that's why thomas traveled to south africa to look for work many millions from neighboring countries of them the same and his story is typical of many of those he worked in the mines when he became too sick to work he lost his job he told a missed son could be sent to replace him so he came home and he's lived here ever since. a rock from a blast blinded him in one eye that's what cost him his job he already had tuberculosis. doctors since told him the t.v. was because of his work and that he also had silicosis permanent lung damage caused

by inhaling silica dust now he might finally be compensated. even among thirty thousand miners he was represented in a class action the first of its kind here the lawyers behind it have announced that affected minors with hate is a settlement with six gold mining groups they say it's time to fix progress that helped they didn't know a lot of darts a lick of dust and that was they knew it existed and they knew of course a lick us but they didn't know how much of it should be in the last year it's been a lot of advances on hard to make the bones and how to prevent the dust from being in the atmosphere that. there's been gold mining in africa for a hundred yeah the lawyers say the case is silicosis. like the old miners since the one nine hundred seventy s. we can just do a little something to hold these companies that are still here to hold them

accountable to change this account to root this culture of impunity and to bring some relief. to music terms who are still alive today thomas might be eligible for about twelve thousand dollars for his lung damage he says he'll invest it in his small farm he says the mining company took his health forever. now he might get something in return malcolm webb al-jazeera the senator. and is here to talk sport i'm already rethinking my drive home tonight because the athletics is on it's down the road right is indeed yes start of the new athletic season the diamond league here in cats are burned so once again controversy overshadowing the sport south africa's champion run a cast to so many are getting ready to start what looks set to be a very controversial athletics season the sport's governing body has announced new rules that will affect women with naturally high testosterone levels well the decision is likely to have an impact on some men you who writes one will compete at the diamond league events in cattle the two time olympic gold medalist was

subjected to a gender test by world athletics in two thousand and nine and banned from competing for almost a year under these rules it's likely she'll either have to take medication to lower her to start strength levels or change events the decision comes into effect on november the first. i'll fix governing body the honorable a.f. says the ruling will ensure fair competition and as the results of two years of scientific research it only applies to running events between four hundred meters and fifteen hundred meters of a mile so many competes in the eight hundred and fifteen hundred affected athletes who want to carry on competing at the highest level must take medication for at least six months to lower their to start their own levels the alternatives include running a longer distance of events or against men or those actions haven't been well received in some menus home country athletics south africa saying they'll be taking the case to sports highest law courts that is the court of arbitration for sport

here's the statement we've now taken a decision that we will challenge the i w f on these new regulations as we have found them to be skewed as a member federation billing gauge the i w f as a mother body and if they do not change their minds on this new role after this engagement will proceed to cast the court of arbitration for sport for further assistance on the matter well earlier on i spoke to katrina carcases a bioethicist at yale university in the united states she says science has yet to conclusively prove that the star stone is the miracle molecule that makes athletes run faster and that the ruling is discriminatory. i do think that the i double a.f.r. out of step heard by large sections of the world's population because they understand this to be gender discrimination discrimination against intersects women etc one of the things that happens when people use the word racist in general is that it is very hard for the person or group being accused of that to hear the

criticism so what i tried to say is that intentions don't matter outcomes matter all manner of policies regulations or harm may be done with good intent that doesn't. erase the second part of the problem which is that the intention aside there can still be harm against particular groups so it can be racist in outcome if not necessarily in intent what's happening right now is that because it is more likely that women from the global north have undergone interventions early in life to lower their testosterone because those kinds of interventions have been routinized it's not so that that's the case in other areas of the world and in the global south the women with intersex are a minority who should be protected in the face of discrimination not discriminated against because the majority has the impression that they are being harmed and we

could think of other ways to construct fairness outside of testosterone outside of biology and from the perspective of the global south they would probably construct a very different policy that would be around socio economic status or access to other kinds of resources so fairness is not a sealed and self-confident narrative around physiology and stross drone it is a construct that needs to be examined for hugh whose views are privileged in any particular construction of fairness. or caster semenya has self hasn't spoken publicly in response to the new ruling but has issued a series of messages via social media this the latest one from her god made me the way i am and i accept myself i am who i am and i'm proud of myself she has a lot of supporters out there including the fearless self in south africa as far as i know cast this to start their own naturally produces itself so the idea is

basically wanting to systematically exclude her by forcing her to stop existing as herself i fail the human rights violation here is clear adolescents governing body has themselves issued a series of tweets defending their position saying here for example the rule is neither racist nor sexist the sport has a lot of athletes with the as the that's disorders of sex development it's not just the one or two females you hear about in the media elite female athletics the number of intersex athletes is one hundred and forty times more than you might find in the normal female population. well let us know what you think you can tweet me directly at the school sport more from me in the eighteen hundred g.m.t. news but for now let's get back to come up thank you andy finally we're going to talk about new zealand folks because i'm from new zealand and this is serious ok we are being left off the map and

a movement has been started to write this great wrong now allow me to demonstrate for you and i'm going to give you a little lesson in maps here as well it's ok on a map like this for example they call us and make a to projection it's a flat earth representation of the world and yet museums hanging in groups not there isn't there it is hanging in at the edge of the map down there so that's all right it starts to get a little questionable on say a map like this which is called a winkle triple projection is kind of being squeezed off the edge just down there in the corner there but what we're actually talking about here is being left off the map entirely and if you don't believe me maybe you would believe i don't know the prime minister of new zealand this is some of what's just into our don't process to on facebook this week with the help of comedian restudy who reckons he's on to something the next great conspiracy he's eland as disappearing off world. disappearing.
