this is al-jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes iran could still cover iran crossed a red line benjamin netanyahu issues a strong warning to iran and syria is president bashar al assad. donald trump welcomes home american presidents from north korea and sets the stage for his highly anticipated meeting with kim jong un. looking for a lifeline argentina goes to the i.m.f. for a loan hoping to avoid another economic crisis. and around fifty people dead after a bursts in kenya now rescue workers are scrambling to find survivors.

israel's issued a stark warning to iran and syria if they attempt to hit israel they'll pay the price this comes after israel said it destroyed nearly all of iran's military infrastructure in syria in a wave of strikes early thursday it was in retaliation to alive seventy in attacks on israeli positions in the occupied golan heights by mr benjamin netanyahu is threatening further action. of a bomb iran crossed a red line our response was appropriate the israeli army carried out a broad strike a very broad strike against iranian targets in syria i sent a clear message to the assad regime our action is aimed at to rein in targets in syria but if the syrian army will act against us we will act against it. the international community must prevent the entrenchment of iran's quds force in syria

we must unite so that we may separate the spreading limbs of its evil there and in every place i repeat we have a hit sauce we will hit back sevenfold and whoever prepares to strike it us we will act to strike at them beforehand this is what we have done and this is what we will continue to do when iran's denied that it was behind the attacks and there's been no official response from the iranian regime but a senior politician has told al-jazeera that israel is fabricating the nature of iran's involvement in syria how a force that has more on the attacks from the occupied golan heights. cockpit video from israeli warplanes is they carried out the largest and most prolonged air strike in syria since the start of its civil war israel says it hit dozens of iranian military targets as well as five syrian anti-aircraft installations israel says it was a response after iranian forces launched twenty rockets at israeli targets in the occupied golan heights we have made it very clear that we are here to defend

ourselves those who started this round of violence were hearing ins who attacked israel we responded accordingly and we are now waiting to see how the iranians will respond israeli forces in the occupied golan heights were on alert for any further response at the same time local residents were told to go about their business as normal schools were open no restrictions placed on large gatherings israel says of the twenty rockets that were fired towards the occupied golan heights from syrian territory they all either fell in syrian territory or they were intercepted what followed was a massive and prolonged response from the israeli armed forces a real escalation in the kind of force that israel has so far been prepared to use within syria it's a message to deter any further such action and it's also making the most of an opportunity to do as much damage to rein in forces as possible israel's government has long warned of a growing threat from iranian bases and missiles inside syria it seems to have decided to act sooner rather than later and. we have of course hit all the

infrastructure not all but almost all of the iranian infrastructure in syria they must remember the saying if it rains here it will pour over there and i hope that we finish this chapter and that everyone got the message. syrian state media said syrian air defenses it inserted most of the incoming rockets over the capital damascus but also confirmed that a radar station and a weapons storage site was struck. with iranian state television said syria had given a quote crushing response to. israeli attacks the strikes were carried out hours after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow saying he'd come away confident that russia would not prevent what he called israel's freedom of action a day later a different tone from the russian foreign minister. we see this is a very alarming development we believe that all issues must be resolved through dialogue during our multiple contacts with the leadership of both iran and israel

including during yesterday's meeting between putin and netanyahu we underline the necessity of avoiding any actions that might be seen as mutually provocative. for now this latest flurry of cross border violence has subsided but all sides are aware that a new bar has been set for its intensity that it could all too easily rise again are a force at al-jazeera in the occupied golan heights earlier i spoke to at a party he's the founder and president of the national iranian american council and i asked him what he thinks will happen next. when we take a look at. the way this issue has unfolded we see that the israelis have been targeting syrian territory for quite some time occasionally there's been a response either by the syrians or as the israelis say this time around by the iranians and the question is why are the israelis doing this why is there this provocation already looking for an iranian response as a pretext to start a larger war is this an effort to establish a new. code of conduct in between iran and israel in syria where they have not been

met before it's not entirely clear but all of this is happening in the background of the nuclear deal being struck killed by the trumpet ministration and we know that netanyahu for quite some time has been looking for the united states to strike iran militarily and one has to wonder if this is how he's hoping this would happen the evidence for these alleged iranian attacks is coming from israel we have not yet seen anything although then what is coming out of the israeli media and what the army is telling us but since nine hundred seventy nine iran's ideology has been very much opposed to israel its presence in the syria and it's increasing presence there is clearly a provocation to israel how much responsibility should iran be taking for what is happening now you mentioned that iran's presence in syria is a provocation certainly from the in the israeli perspective it is alarming it is probably not something that they would view in any way shape or form positive but

to say that the iranians are there only to provoke israel i think is inaccurate clearly the iranians have been involved in syria on the side of this saud regime for quite some time which seems to have something to do with what's going on in syria and very little to do with israel the proof of that obviously would be that in the event that the conflict in syria started to do deescalate significantly whether or not iran would then pull out its forces from syria how likely do you think that that is going to be well we're still quite far away from a time in which we can say that. conflict in syria is over but i would not be surprising that in that situation unless there is really profound regional diplomacy to be able to solve the many difficulties that exist in the region between iran and israel between iran and saudi arabia and these other geo political conflicts unless we have that type of diplomacy i would not be expecting any side to actually back down and that's where the danger here is this is having all of the

ingredients there for a major regional conflict and what we're suffering from right now is significant diplomacy deficit well meanwhile bahrain has expressed support for israel's action on twitter the follow minister said as long as iran has destabilized the status quo in the region and has exploited states using its missiles and power any state in the region including israel has the right to defend itself and destroy the sources of danger. the u.s. and the u.a.e. governments say they have disrupted a large network for smuggling funds to an elite branch of iran's armed forces the us smugglers used companies based in the u.a.e. to funnel millions of dollars to iran's revolutionary guards corps force its sanction to six people and three companies the u.a.e. has put the same compelling groups on its terrorism list. the syrian army is pushing ahead with its campaign to clear out pockets of territories south of the

capital damascus held by what they say are terrorist groups this footage from syrian state t.v. is said to show regime forces patrolling and neighborhoods near the yarmouk camp that area still held partly by rebel fighters and also eisel syrian president bashar al assad has given a new interview denying his forces were behind a chemical weapons attack in duma last month more than forty people were killed in the then rebel held area says blame for the attack is just an excuse to strike the syrian army. we don't have any chemical arsenal and since we give it up being two thousand and thirteen and. agency international agency for chemical. weapons made investigations of this and it. it's clear or documented that we don't have all the stage is now finally set for the highly anticipated meeting between donald trump and north korea's kim jong un the us president took to twitter to announce

the date and venue for the historic summit saying it will take place in singapore on june the twelfth the u.s. leaders said both men aim to make the meeting a very special moment for world peace later trump addressed supporters in indiana in the u.s. where he spoke about the upcoming summit. the relationship is good and hopefully i mean for all of us for the world hopefully something very good is going to happen and they understand it's very important for them it's important for everybody so japan south korea china everybody i think it's going to be a very big success but my attitude is and if it isn't it isn't ok if it is it isn't but you have to have that because you don't know we're not going to be walked into a red. negotiator john kerry re few. times

announcement of the details of his meeting with north korea's leader came just hours after repressively welcomed home three americans freed by the regime that was seen as a goodwill gesture by pyongyang ahead of the summit john hendren has more from washington d.c. . the white house is calling it a victory for the world three american citizens were released from a north korean prison president trump threw some happens when he said kim jong il really was excellent by releasing those three men that struck a lot of americans in a bad. way they have not forgotten the story of auto warm beer an american citizen who was returned to the u.s. from a north korean prison in june in a coma and died just a few days later the senate minority leader chuck schumer said it is no great accomplishment of kim jong un to do this and when the president does it he weakens american foreign policy and puts american citizens at risk around the world there is a long history of hope and then disappointment in meetings between the u.s.

and north korea but president trump considers himself a deal maker his critics would say he is a deal breaker after pulling out of the iran nuclear deal in the paris climate treaty but trump fancies himself a deal maker we will find out after june twelfth whether he's able to make a deal on north korea with kim jong un the goal the white house says is the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula a u.s. military investigation into the deaths of four american soldiers in a fund widespread problems across all levels of the operation were to blame the man died last october after be ambushed by pfizer is linked to i sold our pentagon correspondent particle haid has more. it was last october and as shareware for u.s. troops and for local soldiers were killed in an ambush it's taking the pentagon all of this time to come up and release the findings of their report and it shows a whole host of issues everything from the unit not training together before the

mission to putting in the approval and not giving the whole story about what they were actually going to be doing in the field they didn't have the right equipment the soldiers destroyed their radios when they thought they were going to be overrun so that meant they couldn't communicate with the base now the head of african command came here to the pentagon to say that they have learned their lesson there will be changes we are now far more prudent in our missions we've increased the firepower we've increased the i asked our capacity we've increased various response times and what this is done is is allowed these teams perhaps to not to do the tempo that they would like but it provides adequate and more resourceful force protection measures the pentagon went so far as to prepare a very detailed video showing exactly what went wrong one of the big issues is they couldn't get them help it took about an hour and a half for a drone to give surveillance above the sight of the embers it took more than five hours for a helicopter to evacuate them including the wounded those are all issues that the pentagon says are now currently being addressed by them are ahead in the news hour

we work as the not going to like congress to accept the interference of the international monetary fund the increase of tariffs or labor reform and we are going to fight until the end so that those infamous resolutions of the macro government to turn back the workers have a memory we know that policies like these lead us to hell and we will not allow it well earlier i spoke to mark weisbrot who's been writing about argentina's economy for fifteen years he says the country's government could have avoided going to the i.m.f. . they're not facing the kind of situation even that they were facing in that depression from one nine hundred ninety eight to two thousand and one which of course the i.m.f. is is quite a bit of fault for our times are very much worried about going back to the i.m.f. you know poverty rose during those few years from eighteen percent to forty two percent of the population and that was a country that was you know not long before that one of the richest richest in

america given the level of opposition to this move by the argentinians why is the government so anxious to go to the eye and i think perhaps they think that this will restore credibility with the markets. that's kind of the way they look at these things and i think also it's way and this is typical in many cases of the i.m.f. where the government wants to take measures that are going to be deeply unpopular they're going to cut spending most likely could possibly push the economy into recession and they use the i.m.f. as cover things in the i.m.f. is making us do that we have to you know we have an agreement and so i think those would be the reasons why they would do that you know all these programs and i.m.f. typically they reduce the deficit by cutting spending and pushing the economy towards recession because then people have less money to spend they import

less and that's not the best way to do it of course for most people but it could be the way that some of the governments investors and people they care about look at it you mentioned before the president was the mockery was looking to get some sort of credibility with the markets as a result of bringing in the i.m.f. but politically speaking how much of a risk is he taking but i think it is risky i mean he you know his. approval rating cording to latest polls has fallen from fifty percent late last year to thirty five percent now and as i said these kind of programs think you know things definitely get worse at least at first and sometimes indefinitely so he's definitely taking a risk. the british government has apologized to a former libyan dissident and his wife for the role that spies played in their

rendition to libya in two thousand and four. and his wife were abducted with the help of british agents and handed over to moammar gadhafi security forces to be tortured lauren sleeve reports. if revenge is a dish best served cold then the fourteen years it took abdelhakim bella and his wife fatima to get their apology will have been worth it so we come now to the statement by the attorney general in the british parliament a place which so often hears lectures about how other countries should have paid the rule of law the government finally admitted what had always said that it's had illegally kidnapped him and handed him over to the gadhafi government in libya to be tortured and on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize on reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal which you both suffered and our role in it.

in two thousand and four the british prime minister tony blair was eager to win over gadaffi is part of the american war on terror. and his wife were taken from thailand by officials from the british intelligence service m i six it was suspicions they were linked to al qaeda through the libyan islamic fighting group which was rebelling against gadhafi but ten years on in the same british government was helping bring gadaffi down and in the rubble of tripoli the files emerged detailing the relationship between m i six the american cia and libyan intelligence . it took a full six years for the u.k. authorities to accept his arguments he had asked for nothing except an apology. if the woman who did funny today the british government has acknowledged and apologized for the suffering of my wife and myself years ago i thank them for this brave step. the british government has learned a lesson from this and i hope other governments around the world will learn it as well. and outside the u.k.

parliament fast and held up the letter from the british prime minister offering the total apology for what they've done. the u.k. lost its way when it got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and to get off it just didn't but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognising its mistakes and by apologizing. and so where does this leave the reputation of m i six it's worth bearing in mind that spies to walk their political masters tell them to and in the years to the september the eleventh attacks in new york the americans were doing rendition a loss and presume of the british told that they should too but times change and so do political considerations and decisions that people made can come back to haunt them. the torture cells was held in a go on the political architects of u.k. foreign policy then including former prime minister tony blair can now rest as easy as the m i six agents and a line is drawn into the scandal but had it not been for
