7:02 pm
we begin on the israel gaza border way israeli forces a fired live on munition and take gas at palestinians protesting now for a sixth week in a row three hundred fifty people have been injured three of them critically demonstrate has been thai is near the border fence to use as a smokescreen from the gunfire forty one people have been killed by the israeli military since demonstrations began in late march palestinians want to be allowed to return to villages where their families once lived land which is now occupied by israel let's go live to high forces who is on the gaza israel border and. speaking now about a sixth friday all demonstrations tell us what's happening behind you. will be the numbers have dwindled over the last hour plus but you can hear that the two
7:03 pm
gas is still being fired at those who remain. in a big concentration of tear gas in the last ten minutes or so also during the last hour or so you can see them there running from a lot of guys it looks like the israelis are trying to try and wind this up now a protest which has been running throughout the day also over the last hour and a half there's been a real uptick in the use of life. because the numbers have gone up originally and we're talking about twenty to a few hours ago twenty two injured by life but numbers going up to forty two up and down the gaza border as of about twenty minutes ago according to the gazan health ministry three hundred fifty people injured in total three of the injured we are told are in a critical condition and who is saying what the numbers have dwindled but there does seem to be a fair bit of activity going on behind you and certainly some protest is remaining
7:04 pm
what can we expect to happen in the next hour. well yes the the numbers have gone down but that doesn't mean that the danger declines indeed as darkness falls quite often things can get more dangerous. we just just if we pan over here we can see there are some people being treated if you can come around to the ambulances over here. we can see that there are some people being treated right now for i think tear gas inhalation but obviously of greater concern over the last few weeks has been the use of live ammunition and that is something which it seems there has been less of so far this friday at least the numbers aren't as as high as they were at the end of the protest last friday when one hundred twenty two people had been injured by live ammunition and indeed two killed on that day one dying of wounds sustained from last week's protests yesterday thursday there has been
7:05 pm
a similar pattern of protest starting off at where most of the protests have begun which is some hundred some three hundred meters away from the scene you can see behind me with the burning tires and then at a couple of stages during protests today. south along the border and congregated at this secondary area and it is there from the from where we've been hearing most of the live fire this one of five locations up and down the gaza border with have been protests today how the hospitals in cars are coping with the injured harry. well they are under immense strain what they are running short on own medical supplies where of course subject to the same problems and restrictions on electricity on fuel for generators we spoke to one man who'd been injured in the first protests shot through both legs. and serious injuries but he was out of hospital within five days because there are people more seriously injured and they're expecting more to come in and so that is the kind of calculation that has to be made but there has been
7:06 pm
a lot of work going on here by the ambulance crews the number of people being ferried away has risen in the last couple of hours the the frequency of those of those ambulances accusations has gone up in commensurately with the amount of life fire that we've been hearing from the israeli side and indeed the use of this very concentrated volley of tear gas that we've been getting at regular intervals well thank you very much on the gaza israel border harry for sit there with all the latest who. knows president donald trump says his lawyer rudy giuliani will get his facts straight of a comments made about adult film stars still me daniels in a t.v. interview giuliani would fail trump knew about payments made to daniels after an alleged affair in two thousand and six trump and previously denied any knowledge of the hush money. really you know we're. already there.
7:07 pm
you'll get it back right there great guy for what he does the british. joins us live now from the white house so trump says that giuliani will get his facts straight but we are having mixed signals coming yet again from the white house on this was trying now trying to distance himself from those giuliani comments what's going on and what's the reaction been i think the reaction here in the united states is who's telling the truth who's lying the ordinary american is having a little bit of difficulty trying to keep the story straight because every day there's a different version of it the latest now the president walking back the statements of his attorney when he said that in fact the president did know about that one hundred thirty thousand dollars paid to the adult film star in hushed money so
7:08 pm
there president as you heard there saying that you know rudy giuliani is the one that's lying not me. you know this is all been misreported and rudy has just started in the job he needs to get his facts straight here's the problem in all of this with all of this confusion around round this story what the presence of centrally doing is stepping on his own good headlines because there is a good news story that's happening in the united states today and that is that the job numbers are the lowest in terms of unemployment in the united states in eighteen years since the year two thousand but guess what nobody's talking about that because the president and his messaging is so mixed up it isn't such for such a long time now there's been so much focus on those all important job numbers it's quite remarkable that trump has managed to overshadow is a good news as you say how much more how how much of these comments from rudy giuliani complicated the situation for trying. it's complicated the president
7:09 pm
has complicated his own situation on so many levels whether it's talking about the russia probe whether it's talking about another investigation into whether or not this money was in any way that was paid to the adult film star violated campaign finance laws or even as the president now headed to dallas where he'll be talking to the national rifle association we've even seen the president have mixed messages there you'll remember after the parklane florida shooting maryam that the president briefly said that it was time to take on the n.r.a. seemed open to the concerns in the movement of young people in this country that there was a need and a desire for some type of gun control raising the age limit to buy a gun perhaps banning the stocks that increase weapons firepower the president actually said at that time look at him we'll have to fight them once in a while meaning the n.r.a. but again the president has shifted his message since then we've largely heard none
7:10 pm
of that rhetoric coming from the president in recent weeks and in fact we expect as he addresses the national rifle association today in dallas that in fact he will reaffirm his support for them because here is why he needs them it's twenty eight thousand we've got congressional elections republicans and this white house are very worried about democrats taking control of the house of representatives and the u.s. senate would be bad for the president as we see more investigations into his conduct and also a stalling of his legislative agenda so well we've heard the president being open months ago to some sort of gun control in the united states we don't expect we're going to hear from that today from him in that regard today because he needs this base of support gun rights supporters who have been behind this president are expecting him to reaffirm that support and in turn they will support donald trump hugo unpacking all the latest from washington kimberly hockett. at least six people have drowned and eleven more are missing off to extreme flooding in
7:11 pm
kenya weeks of heavy rain of triggered flooding throughout the country the red cross and red crescent of both estimated that at least one hundred people have died in twenty nine countries counties aid groups warn that the floods could spread malaria and cholera andrew symonds has more now from the awami village along the ton a river in kenya. we've just arrived in the village of who won it which is completely cut off from the outside world by the floodwaters we go here. an extraordinary journey lasting more than an hour going through the swamps and going through very deep water not the river county but in actual fact it was just like covering. areas of agricultural land villages that disappeared and people standing on high ground and they're now getting help let me just show you the red cross distribution. we came in and other parts of the breached the spot the first time people have received aid and this is being. something it's already
7:12 pm
arrived but this is primarily equipment to shelter them top holdings and other goods and blankets and the people here what's remarkable about them is the service to children so polite and so very caring for each other in the way they are doing in an orderly fashion and taking this right away they've got long walks through shelters not their own homes some of them many of them not their own homes or their displaced so many of them are on this ground because it's the only place where they know that there is the problem of rising water other problem of actually going into the water particularly for children we still. among. the ground water we saw the start of a three points on the journey so this is an extraordinary situation for these

7:14 pm
time the most intense downpours are going to be just to the east of lucky to cause some flooding which you might expect anyway during the spring rains the violent showers a move all in india in fact what was up in the pradesh is down here as a result you can see for the line heavy showers still breaking out in bangladesh northeast india indication is the amount of rain that falls they become a little bit lighter the time they get down to kerala but they've dropped they are right on the way but the strength of wind this is damaging that still the case in bangladesh and the northeast of india violent storms and lots of lightning but it looks much quieter now to the west still hot oversee the temperatures are up to forty six forty seven mark around russia style and yesterday they're going to be about the same but for major collaborations typically in the low forty's if you shout over to the south of that and if anything of course temperatures rise still further but any showers all right are confined to the far north.

tear gas of palestinians protesting for the sixth week in a row on the israeli gaza border three hundred fifty people have been injured three of them critically. u.s. president donald trump says his lawyer rudy giuliani will get his facts straight. over comments made about adult film star stormy daniels in a t.v. interview giuliani revealed trump knew about payments made to daniels and at least six people have drowned and eleven more missing off to extreme flooding in kenya aid groups are warning that the floods could spread cholera and malaria. and all the stories we're following the nobel prize for literature will not be awarded this year the organization that decides the prize the swedish academy has been engulfed in a scandal of a sexual assault allegations katia lopez diane as mall. it's a scandal that's left the swedish academy in turmoil and the nobel prize for
7:17 pm
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 framed 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 were ignored 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
7:18 pm
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 but 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 including the organization's first female leader. 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 the nobel peace prize hope the delay will give them time to regroup and recover their once pristine asia's reputation curtsey a look this all began al-jazeera. a court in the u.k. is ruled that human rights campaigners can proceed with a legal case and stopping british arms sales to saudi arabia the campaign against

days was never going to be enough time to resolve them all. the u.s. came with a long list of demands immediate action to reduce china's huge trade surplus with the united states and then to force technology transfers whereby u.s. companies have to hand over their intellectual property to local joint venture partners as a condition for doing business here the u.s. has also been complaining about the heavy state subsidies for technology development like robotics and i.t. one area though where china is unlikely to yield analysts say the deepening strain in relations is a recognition by the united states the china one seen as a partner is now regarded as a strategic rival for trump. competing with china is a very important for him and he wants to win and china has to give him something
7:21 pm
a win but whatever china gives it won't be sufficient for trump or for the u.s. because there's no way for china to abandon its industrial policy. it's six months since president trump and china's leaders she jingping last met and they could be getting together again soon after trump tweeted that he looks forward to seeing she in the not too distant future that could mean after his planned summit with kim jong un but cheating ping had someone else on his mind on friday karl marx the german philosopher was born two hundred years ago on saturday the president repeatedly said the communist party mustn't forget its socialist roots as it strives to bring about the rejuvenation of the chinese nation and that rejuvenation includes maintaining a tough line with the united states on trade adrian brown al-jazeera beijing.
