4:03 pm
a flashpoint in the region for decades israel captured from syria in one hundred sixty seven and has occupied it ever since the move has never been recognized by the international community the golan heights gives israel a military advantage and is a key source of water israel has built more than thirty settlements in the territory kathy lopez had a young report. cockpit video from israeli war planes and animated maps show what israeli commanders say is the destruction of an iranian rockets launcher in syria the israelis also say dozens of other raney and targets in syria were struck. rockets have been fired from syria israel says some were intercepted and blames the attacks on the quds brigade which is part of iran's revolutionary guard syria and its allies which include iran and russia say it didn't start this fight they accuse israel of firing artillery shells at the golan border town of khan our
4:04 pm
number on wednesday the syrians blame the israeli air force for attacking a syrian army base south of damascus on tuesday killing two people. syrian military video is said to show the firing of missiles in response was really attacks on the suburbs of the capital syrian state news agency says israeli missiles hit air defense positions radar stations and a weapons warehouse but the agency added most incoming rockets were intercepted. as a hundred incursion certainly dalton's or. including just yes. iran has reinforced us bases in syria which is increasing tensions in neighboring israel . they further escalated this week when donald trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal the us president referred to was really intelligence documents that said iran had been developing nuclear weapons for years in iran denies that prime minister
4:05 pm
benjamin netanyahu has flown to moscow to meet president vladimir putin the russian military intervention has kept bashar al assad in power israeli commanders reportedly warned russian forces airstrikes were about to be launched. on the iranians declare their intention to attack us they're trying to transfer forces and deadly weapons there with the explicit goal of attacking israel as part of their strategy to destroy israel now both israelis and syrians are warned to take cover if the cross border attacks escalate. so the young al jazeera rather go to correspondents to speak to these in the iranian capital tehran speak to him in a moment first though let's get our correspondent in the occupied golan heights and this does represent a less collation doesn't it in terms of israeli activity allegedly against iranian targets in neighboring syria. that's right the message from the israeli defense
4:06 pm
minister was that israel saw no further escalation indeed that he talked about this being the the end of this chapter of military action and the message having been sent to iran but make no mistake it is a real escalation in terms of israel's feeling of its ability to strike inside syria this is the biggest strike the most polite strike carried out by israel throughout the course of the syrian civil war and indeed for many years before israel obviously feels that this is an opportunity to try to do as much damage as it can and to what it sees as the threat from iranian military bases ballistic missiles which it says are being placed inside syria and as well as that of a terrence for further action be israeli military is saying that should iran wants to rebuild some of the infrastructure that it lost overnight last night it will
4:07 pm
take it a considerable period of time and the defense minister avigdor lieberman has been at pains to emphasize a that the mission was successful objective was achieved but also that it three end it's a self-contained episode that is now over. yes and that is the big question has israel done enough in this really very sizable military action to deter further further strikes back from iran of course the thing that iran has in its pocket are the many thousands of missiles under the ownership under the stewardship of the hezbollah fighters in lebanon will it greenlight any kind of action coming from lebanon obviously the calculation that israel is making at the moment is no it was talking israel about russia giving its or the assumption that it had freedom of action as far as russia was concerned after
4:08 pm
a meeting between benjamin netanyahu and volunteer putin in moscow yesterday the russian foreign minister has come out and called these developments alarming and saying that neither side should engage in mutually provocative actions so different public message coming from russia the question is whether israel has got this calculation right or not only time will tell all right harry thank you harry for sit there live in the occupied golan heights now let's go over to the iranian capital tehran this week to our correspondent there same as rather zain everybody seems to be accepting the israeli narrative in all of this in that this particular chapter was sparked by a rainier in missiles or projectiles of some description being fired into the occupied golan heights have the a rainy and said mitigated that this is what actually happened. well that's the question that everyone here is asking shot first and we're still waiting for official reaction from the
4:09 pm
foreign minister of the presidency or from supreme leader himself or from anyone in the military establishment from the senior level officials we haven't heard any word on what they feel or think happened. at the border between syria and israel last night who we have heard from is a member of parliament mohammad jamal the he's on the parliamentary commission for national security and foreign policy no commission often speaks on such matters and what he told us is that what israel was doing inside syria was probing and testing and that that was a strategic mistake he said that israel is essentially carrying out these raids because it cannot wage a conventional war with syria because it knows it would lose and he also said that iran's response is coming now he did not shed any light on whether or not iran was involved but what they've continuously said in the past which is likely to be reiterated again when we do see more senior level reaction is that syria has
4:10 pm
a right to defend itself that this is a conflict between syria and israel and syria responded appropriately and that israel is in fact the aggressor and as always they're moral most likely to point out that iran is in syria at the behest of the official government of that country but we're still waiting on senior level reaction here in the heart all right zain a live in tehran thank you. now says a rescue operation is currently underway after a dam since central kenya police say they've recovered at least forty nine bodies and there are reports of several others who are unaccounted for heavy rain cools the patel dam in a crew county to break its banks sweeping away hundreds of homes flash floods have already killed at least one hundred people across the country and destroyed thousands of hectares of found and let's get more now from our correspondent andrew simmons is county which is east of north korea also very laces and what have you been hearing. we're hearing now that heavy rains have
4:11 pm
started in the crew county and this is hampering the rescue efforts that are really really tough it's heavy everywhere around this hillside there are people in a desperate state something like two thousand people affected by this most of them at least half of them are homeless and of course that death toll has been a while since we've had an update but it's cleared the death toll could rise in the number of injured seriously injured it will seem from what we've heard in the hospital that amounts to at least thirty and that includes some newborns to newborns a pregnant woman the most of the dead appear to be women and children some of them are in a coffee plantation there was a secondary school destroyed a primary school swept away this vast current of water coming
4:12 pm
crashing down after the war. really really was giving it what it took and this is just the latest in a long series of disasters affecting kenya all over the country isn't it because of the heavy rain. well that's right very much so we got now. disaster which is the highest number dead since these floods started at the beginning of march there are very pro long heavy rains it's unusual it's the worst long rainy season this country has seen for two decades and so what is happening now is the government is under huge pressure with calls for it to do more about helping people people who are homeless there are well over a quarter of a million without homes of the moment in this incident the rescue effort has been
4:13 pm
intense it's been very difficult the dam was a private. there was a question mark over what caused it why it was too weak and there's another dam nearby and other warms whether it's on the same land owned by well known farmer or not is unclear but there are other dams and they're being inspected to see how safe they are important to actually point out that these dams are privately owned they're not the major is in northern kenya owned by the power generators which there's great concern about because if those dams were thought of water was released in a large number that would go downstream right the way across kenya causing more flash floods so it's a critical position a very difficult one indeed and tragic in this instance as you say man's life in there is a county thank you very much indeed but now we can speak on the phone to kenya is governor over in the current county knicker county the one being affected by this.
4:14 pm
thank you very much indeed for joining us are you satisfied that the dam that is just the patel dam i you satisfied that it was constructed properly. befriend you i think we have hard to believe in such an discuss alone. we'll be able to get a report before the end of the b. and i think more importantly the dams that are full because it leaves the have been very easy entry could be entered in many of us and never seem to find a reason to even do the capacity for the stumps me will be overtaken and then that may be part of the reason but we are expecting a comprehensive technical report that really inform our division and what's he doing in the other two main guns in your county are they which are dangerously full what sort of measures are being taken to prevent the same thing happening with them
4:15 pm
well what we have done is good published there was a capacity for all those dumps and i think what we've agreed for some of them but me after you have to be of a little bit is to stop using the water slowly so that you can reduce the pressure on the air by over thirty degrees and maybe your for this time we are also watching the community be able to sensitise them and their media sort of move them to simply be on the line of water so that we need to get against any love of life or property that will go higher in the event of a disaster and what sort of provision are you able to make then for the many hundreds if not thousands of people who are now homeless. well the government said together with the well we should have all come for them to be delivered to provide all food aid and the non-food items but i think is it given my number of people involved is about two thousand and that is about four hundred and fifty homes so it
4:16 pm
might not be very easy but to put it the way. the mission the. agencies that are involved in all these including the company is to be able to get the people. power on the ground and the very happy that the local community is in full cooperation on these myself thank you very much indeed for joining us lee kenyon julie governor of new crew county thank you. we've got a lot more to come in this hour including the british government says sorry for its role in the kidnap and torture of a libyan rebel. drumming up antigovernment protests in argentina where paying the bills is becoming ever more difficult. and the celtics reach the penultimate round of the n.b.a. playoffs and they'll meet an old friend of the sun i will have the details coming up in school.

4:18 pm
americans is being viewed by the white house as a goodwill gesture by north korea's leader back. really. to these three incredible people they are really three incredible people the release of the three americans is a product of negotiations ongoing with the united states and north korea but it is also a prelude to the out. coming summit between donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un a summit that trump says he hopes will yield even greater results trump says his primary goal is to achieve complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula is looking forward to his upcoming summit with kim optimism i really think he wants to do something and bring that country into the real world u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe has made two trips to north korea during his most
4:19 pm
recent visit the kim reportedly accepted the u.s. proposal to grant amnesty to the three detainees thanks to time and date of the summit has been finalized but not yet made public it's an announcement the white house says will be made by early next week kimberley health al-jazeera andrews air force base in iraq security force personnel have started voting forty eight hours before parliament elections open for everyone else that will be on saturday now this is the fourth election since the u.s. led invasion deposed saddam hussein and that was fifteen years ago we can go live now to the iraqi capital baghdad and speak to our correspondent there some a binge of aid and a somber so this is obviously the early voting has just started and. services personnel have got it under way but one of the main issues of the iraqi population
4:20 pm
. well martin the main issues still remain and the biggest challenge remains security now that iraq is in a relatively safer state we've been watching it on the streets of baghdad where there is a lot of a lot more life there a lot more people out and about but there are major challenges in terms of services that people are asking for electricity and water road sanitation are those are the kind of things that when you move out of the capital baghdad you'll see more and more of especially in areas where there has been tremendous amounts of fighting to try and defeat isis this election that is taking place today this is a special board for iraqi security forces about a million of them are voting across polling stations in iraq these belong to not just the counterterrorism forces the army the air force the federal police but also members of iraqi security forces up north the kurdish peshmerga who are also
4:21 pm
casting their ballots to to choose their candidates one brigadier general who respond to said that there is going to be no pressure on these soldiers to try and cast their vote other people we've been speaking to have been telling us about they want to take part to show their support for the political process one soldier told us that this is bigger than the fight against isis because ice during isolates time and even before that and since the ouster of the saddam government people have been telling them that their vote does not count and they want to make sure that that changes so it doesn't feel a samaras if as if iraq of twenty eighteen has moved into a slightly safer slightly more secure phase. well there is cautious optimism on the streets of baghdad at least people are seeing that now that the fight against isis is over we need to look inwards and try and fight the bigger menace is that beleaguered the political spectrum of iraq one of them being corruption people are very angry saying that their politicians have been looting
4:22 pm
iraq and not paying back to the actual people who voted them in who've been demanding these changes who've been demanding electricity for instance for years and years but yes it is a much safer iraq but the threat is not over as we were going to the polling stations the security across the city and across various centers where people are allowed to vote has been tight and we saw sniffer dogs going through vehicles people had to leave their cars so there is definitely there is that there is this intelligence reports about ice and sleeper cells and the threat remains but it is a much safer country which is now looking towards trying to build it as a nation and move away from the sectarian and political divisions that have been dividing this country for far too long a summer binge of aid live in baghdad thank you now a siege inside a top security jail for terrorists convicts in indonesia has ended with the surrender of all one hundred fifty five prisoners five policeman taken hostage were

4:25 pm
a prison on an island. but questions have been raised about how secure it is plans to build a top security jail especially for prisoners convicted of terrorism have been postponed for years the hostage crisis has been resolved. a lot of questions remain how could this happen in five countries. by. confiscate weapons and explosives for inside the prison compound all clear finds according to experts that indonesia's present system needs a complete overhaul. al-jazeera and that out. there the british government has apologized for its role in kidnapping a former libyan rebel and his wife almost fifteen years ago up to hakim belle hard and fatima char were abducted in thailand in two thousand and four they were returned to libya where they were tortured by moammar gadhafi is government m i six
4:26 pm
provided intelligence that helped in their capture now we can go we can go live now to istanbul where abdul hakim bell holiday is that she's speaking let's listen to him. would. you. believe yes we just there are. these human rights. to. have time now for you to some questions and nancy. question does either. do you think the british government have taken these steps to avoid more problems and more trouble was in the future. when it comes to these human rights think you. i don't want to go deep and deep about the motive of the government to.
4:27 pm
do what has been done but i'd like to say that the phrases included in this apology. and. the sort of apology is quite clear and this was my request says the very beginning and since day one we have received the evidence that other people other than agent says we're trying to hurt myself and may have for an investigation for the sake of justice i have never asked for money for compass ation for whatever things like these material things it's what i have asked for is
4:28 pm
a recognition and an apology and today i have accepted this apology and i think. we have avoided more time to wait for more things and. today marks the end of these suffering and today should be a step for more positive actions and the lesson to be learned all right that's up to how kimbell hard speaking live as you see in this temple listening to this with us is lawrence the correspondent who's in london and lawrence this is a murky story isn't it tell us why the british intelligence agencies were cooperating with the mama gadhafi his government back in two thousand and four. so if you cast your mind back to two thousand and four in the years after the september the eleventh attacks on the world trade center in new york the american
4:29 pm
war on terror was in full swing of course they were rendering people to two to guantanamo under george bush and tony blair who was then the british prime minister was fully bought into the american war on terror and obviously wanted to be seen to be going along with it and so the thinking it seems of the british governments at the time was that doing business and getting on side with autocratic leaders like gadhafi would be quite a good thing to do as long as you could find elements who they thought might be linked to al-qaeda and then hand them over to gadhafi as a way of getting them out of the way and therefore they wouldn't be a threat to the united states or western interests and so what happened then is part it seems as part of tony blair's attempts to get on side with gadhafi they basically found and some others rendered them illegally basically kidnapped them and stuck them on a plane and offer them up almost as
4:30 pm
a present to get out of the and said here you go apparently the garden m i six said this is the least we can do for you that was said to be his phrase at the time. so whatever you think of that time goes by and about ten years ago part of the same british governments of course is then trying to bring in their fee down after the arab spring. when they're in the rubble of tripoli all these files emerge the portrays in detail in evidential terms the relationship between m i six and the cia in america and libyan security services it is there in black and white that they rented this guy many years pass bell had says this happened his lawyers say look you can see it there the british police say there's not enough evidence eventually they changed their mind and said there was enough evidence to charge the guy from m i six with kidnap and that appears to be the straw that broke in the camel's back and eventually now to resume a the british prime minister has had to issue this grovelling letter of apology to both of them and the detail of this was outlined as you'll hear now in parliament
4:31 pm
today by the british attorney general. the u.k. government actually contributed to your detention rendition and suffer the u.k. government shared information about you with its international partners we should have done more to reduce the risk that you would be mistreated we accept this was a failing on our part on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal which you both suffered and our role in it there are but there are many things you can say about this not least the fact that the british government brought prides itself on telling other countries i was a behave well seemingly having done this and is now trying to say we've learned a lesson from it and we won't do it again but on the other thing that strikes me certainly is is how times change because a political decision that was taken in two thousand and four. a decade later two thousand and fourteen looks particularly stupid in hindsight since i daresay there
4:32 pm
are people past and present in and my six who did this on behalf of government ministers in two thousand and four who will think well you know thanks very much to be some sense of betrayal around it but those days of rendition seem seem now at least to a past largely live in london thank you very much. all right it's time for the weather now and not just flooding in kenya ever ten there's flooding also in the u.s. yeah that's right same with this is to to the spring warmth this because of the record near record mountain snow that we had over the rockies during the course of the winter and the warm weather of course is called the rapid thawing have a look at the forecast you can see we've got more cloud which is a spilling its way in across the rockies easing further eastwards i'm going to see that just gravity push its way over towards the lakes as we go on through the next twenty four hours or so is where the most active weather is actually coming in
4:33 pm
behind this high pressure that means sunshine it means that spring sunshine it means that warmth and that has led to some major problems for some this was the scene in montana where as you can see the roads have been flooded by the swollen rivers that have occurred in this particular part of the states and there's more of that when we come go through the next couple days as a fair amount of snow just around the rockies you can see calgary tucked in there around fourteen celsius warm enough in chicago to around twenty degrees notice some wet weather over towards the eastern side of the country pushing up into eastern canada ottawa getting up to a very agreeable twenty degrees celsius that's what to make its way a little further research as we go on through the next twenty four hours or so more snow coming in there to see it as do most in the forecast at least for a time over towards the upper midwest thirteen celsius there for chicago as the clouds and the rain rolls in still not so bad in calgary at around fifteen degrees celsius we have got some snow coming in here as we go on into saturday but look at calgary by then martin getting up to twenty one. evident thank you very much indeed

4:37 pm
monday and came to power following months of angry public protests his predecessor pocket and he was impeached and ultimately imprisoned over a corruption scandal campaigned on a liberal platform promising change after a year in the job with an approval rating of more than eighty percent moon is the most popular president since public polling began when the country transition to democracy in the one nine hundred eighty s. polls show many south koreans even those who consider themselves conservatives like moon personally. the two groups pulling a moon's approval rating are that people who are satisfied by his unconventional openness and the people who is doing a great job for years with intercommunal relations. someone to long to an exhibition celebrating the highlights of moon's first year. long as i really like his way of openly communicating with the public in many ways especially compared to
4:38 pm
how disconnected other presidents were i have great expectations and i hope to see real cooperation and reconciliation with north korea. if you would have predicted these scenes a year ago moon shifted from park's hardline policy towards pyongyang to one of engagement even as the president of south korea's ally the united states was threatening to totally destroy north korea moon's vision for a peaceful lympics was realized when north korea sent a delegation to the winter games in pyongyang chung and the two koreas marched under a unified flag at the opening ceremony and since donald trump unexpectedly accepted an invitation for a summit with north korean leader kim jong un meetings not missile launches have become the new reality on the korean peninsula moon has found himself in the diplomatic driver's seat. while moon has been in the spotlight for his engagement
4:39 pm
with north korea some south koreans would prefer to see the president focus on domestic issues during the campaign he promised to tackle challenges such as the youth unemployment rate which recently hit a two year high of eleven point six percent. your part of the issue that is perceived by the public as the most significant is the economy if these issues are not improved the president's approval rating can sink at any single moment before last year's election most south korean said the economy and jobs not into korean relations should be the next president's top priority something analysts say moon may want to keep in mind as he begins his second year in office kathy novak al-jazeera soul. malaysia's king has invited the opposition leader mohammed to form a new government following his unexpected election when supporters are outside the palace. and that's where the swearing will take place ninety two
4:40 pm
year old government in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one thousand nine hundred eleven opposition alliance their first election victory in sixty. correspondent outside the role palace and wayne for judging from the scenes outside it's a very popular win for ninety two. but we were expecting him to be sworn in now or a few minutes ago. yes well that is the big question martin in fact expectation was that he would have been sworn in many hours ago on the. morning because that is usually what happens that's what happened five years ago with one another in office that didn't happen this time around and in fact. has been inside the palace for the past four and a half almost five hours waiting for that swearing in ceremony to take place and it still hasn't happened it was supposed to happen as you say a few moments ago at nine thirty in the evening local time we have seen pictures of
4:41 pm
him in there we know that he's going to take place as you say the statement has come from the palace inviting to form the next government but certainly a nervous time for probably for the prime minister in waiting and for the rest of his coalition but certainly for the supporters as well who have waited so long to see a change of government in malaysia and there was concern i guess as well martin in the lead up to this election even on election day as it became clear that this was going to be very close exactly how would not resign and coalition by resign national national front relinquish power would they let go of it easily and we saw . a media conference from the outgoing prime minister on thursday morning and even in that. media conference he didn't concede defeat out right in fact he went on to . the results saying that the winning coalition didn't have a party that one out right will that was really irrelevant because they have enough
4:42 pm
parties together to form the coalition there was really no danger of one of those winning parties drifting away to join virus on national and therefore causing something of a. scenes of celebration here but again they weren't quite believe it i suspect until they actually see that swearing in and very few will know the extent and the reach of the power of. himself who was a prime minister more than twenty years but. that policy said this is such a huge turn of events never happened before has it. no it hasn't the. national front has been in power for sixty one years since independence from britain and there's never been a change of government so this is a huge moment as you say. being a former national prime minister former prime minister of the party which is the
4:43 pm
major coalition partner in national and then really he splits in two thousand and eighteen and that coalition behind because of really a falling out with a man that he had placed while he was within that coalition while he was in the party had placed in the prime minister position so he really is i guess you could say the. a malaysian politics and continues to be that way because even though he has guided this coalition victory and he will be sworn in any moment now as the prime minister of malaysia it's expected that within the next two years he will hand over to him his former. deputy prime minister who's in jail on sodomy charges charges that he says are politically motivated and one of the first things that he will do is to seek a royal pardon for yes i'm released from prison and then within the next two years
4:44 pm
he will hand over power to him so certainly is the man in charge at the moment all right wayne for now thank you very much indeed nichols we'll go back to kuala lumpur as soon as we see any sign of that swearing in actually taking place that dozens of protesters have been detained in kazakstan for demanding the release of political prisoners a fierce critic of the government organized a rally in our marty. movement was ruled to be extremist two months ago and judges warned his supporters that they could face criminal prosecution public protests are rare and the rallies must have permission from the police and the president. an australian scientist who traveled to switzerland to end his life has died one hundred four year old david good will didn't have a terminal illness but felt that his life had become too difficult the botanist and ecologists hoped his experience would encourage politicians in australia to let people make their own decisions about. good time to borrow money in
