4:02 pm
they become the only canadian team to make the last ball in the stanley cup playoffs and they did it in style. the rain in foreign ministry has responded to israel's biggest attacks in syria for decades a spokesman described wednesday night strikes on dozens of targets as an illegal act of aggression based on a fabricated excuse the israeli prime minister manton's iranian forces in syria have fired rockets at israeli positions in the occupied golan heights russia is leading global calls for deescalation and iran's foreign minister will travel to moscow for talks on monday binyamin netanyahu is threatening further action in syria. iran crossed a red line our response was appropriate the israeli army carried out
4:03 pm
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. iranian m.p.'s have denied that iran was behind the attacks a senior politician told al-jazeera that israel has fabricated fabricated the nature of iran's involvement in syria and that its actions will have consequences. they are accustomed to being invaded and they never receive response be sure that if confrontation occurs surely the country who would be damaged the most is the zionist regime let's get more response to this from joins us now from there saying that. well two days after the incident in question jane we finally heard from the foreign ministry in the form of a statement in that statement very harsh condemnation for what they say were israeli strikes on software in syrian soil they condemned the violation of syrian
4:04 pm
sovereignty they condemned what they called a violation of international law and they also condemned the global community for largely being silent on the matter but the harshest words so far have come from a senior iranian cleric at a sermon during friday prayers. me was speaking at the university and had a very harsh warning for israel saying that if israel as a country continue to act quote foolishly then it would result in the destruction of israeli cities here's what he had to say that in august we will expand our capabilities despite western pressure to curb it to let israel know that if it acts foolishly tell of even hafer will be totally destroyed and then way does this leave the new kid in the. well that is an excellent question and that is what is certainly on the government's mind here now very quickly another point cut from
4:05 pm
you made in a sermon which is relevant now to how the government will be dealing with the nuclear deal to me who is a senior cleric a member of the count. the strong leader is a very very. important force in the country and he he is a political hard liner and as a political hard liner has been a very harsh critic of the nuclear agreement from twenty fifteen and he said of the deal that europeans cannot be trusted to help with that deal any even branded many of the european signatories to the deal as iran's enemies and this is just days before the foreign minister zarif is expected to embark on a tour to meet with the remaining signatories of the nuclear agreement in an effort to try and some form preserve the deal so it is a sign the cleric's very harsh words are a sign that the hardliners in iran here are very emboldened by the events of this
4:06 pm
week and the moderates the government of president rouhani are not only in a fight for the life of the nuclear deal abroad they're also fighting here at home to try and maintain their own political futures. thank you protests have resumed along gaza's border with israel it's the seventh consecutive friday of palestinian demonstrations the protests demanding the right of return for refugees are looking at live pictures coming from at least forty one people have been killed over the past few weeks is going live to stephanie take us she's also there tell us more about what's been happening on that right behind you stephanie. well that's what they do jane to obscure the bridge greatest number of positions or to just behind that they burn tires. just about a shot so you can get a better view that we are now seeing people stream and it's been relatively quiet until the last often hour or so so the crowd is gathering just opposite the fence with israel they've also moved
4:07 pm
a large group moved further to the right of where we are up to a hill they were there wasn't burning tires they now seem to be returning so this is a patent jane that we've been seeing happening here every friday this is the seventh friday of what they call the great march of her turn and there's a real momentum now protect kids we move towards nakba which is what the palestinians call the catastrophe the establishment of the state of israel and people will tell you here that six back to in two days time on monday hundreds of thousands of people are expected to show up along this fence is just one of five protest points and we're being told they are setting up more and more so when we see those protests happen on monday that there will be various points along this border which will see many many people which of course puts huge pressure on israel and stephanie i mean it's clear that nobody is going to leave their women children men even though they've been fired at what is a set us up for. yes i mean we've seen that we've counted at least
4:08 pm
seven young men shot in the leg throughout the morning really throughout the day people here will tell you is that finally they feel that there is some kind of international attention on the situation for the people in gaza yes not has affected hundreds of thousands of palestinians meaning they were forced to flee their villages forced to flee their homes seventy years ago even the young children you speak to here will know about it because it has been post down from generation to generation and i think people here will tell you it is the injustice the sense of real injustice that they feel that they are now protesting upon particularly in gaza jane people have been here under public aid for eleven. years there is four hours of electricity a day if that they cannot leave other than if israel gives them a permit which is very very rare is due to the sea water sewage infested they can only fish so far it is a dire state desperate situation it is the worst it's been since the blockade began jay and i think interestingly yesterday i tended a press conference with the leader of hamas yes it was the first time he addressed
4:09 pm
the international media and he was saying we have a right for resistance but he said certainly what you're seeing along the spencer what you will see. is a peaceful protest it's hundreds of thousands of people unarmed that are going up to that fence and with one message which yes of course the right of return but more importantly they want certainly here in gaza for the blockade to be lifted and for them to be able to live their lives just like you and me ok and stephanie we've been watching tear gas being fired at the palestinian standing over there which pushed them back a little bit and move making their way back again to they said you know determined on a report by save the children says hundreds of children in gaza have been injured by israeli gunfire during the recent protests at sites figures from the palestinian ministry of health and says at least two hundred fifty children were hit by live ammunition and found that more than eight thousand palestinians have been injured since the protests began in march including seven hundred children and also can
4:10 pm
crews of more than two thousand people have been treated in hospital for bullet wounds joining us in the studio is the ship's wherry associate professor in contemporary history of the middle east at cattle university good to have you with us as always so we are seeing what we've seen over the last seven weeks happening all over again i just want to know how this is playing out as far as the palestinians are concerned and the divisions amongst the palestinians with the palestinian trying to do something plead mostly to the international community that with the absence of the leadership with the division the. member of the right for the time of the. the main the core of all of these protests and demonstrations the palestinian want to say to the international community don't forget our our issue our cause we still if our politicians are failing to deliver the message of our politicians are divided if they are not doing the proper job still we are the palestinians old but it's the you know we still remember that i think that is what
4:11 pm
they're trying to maintain in the last seven weeks how stretched you think israel is feeling considering what's happening as far as iran is concerned in syria and this is now on their border i think i think you know the demonstration today or next friday will be different to the israelis or from previous demonstrations because simply israelis are engaged militarily now with the golan and syria as well so i think this will make the israelis more nervous hunt how to act especially they assume that iran actually is mobilizing piston and that's the assumption. from the israeli side that everything is moving in the region is because of the iranian behind it so that would put more political pressure on the government i think then this is all they really believe that it was that mall on the level of the people to support israel that's the that's the extent the question and the level of rhetoric at least on the level of our rhetoric still we are hearing this from the prime minister and different statement that israelis are behind what's happening and the
4:12 pm
iranian are behind of what's happening and those that's important at least this is a message to convey to the israeli public to justify what they are doing especially with this all the national pressure the criticism so it is facing with the casualties with especially targeting the children all of this cases thanks friendship my prayers. the world health organization has confirmed two cases and thirty probable or suspected cases in democratic republic of congo at least one person has died of the virus a new outbreak was declared on tuesday after tests on two patients near the town of because all came back positive charla bellus reports a sober address to the democratic republic of congo and beyond bola is back but here do your compatriots since tuesday may the democratic republic of congo is facing a pedantic of a bowl of virus disease that constitutes an international public health emergency.

4:16 pm
a successful demonstration of the if you can see of the spec seen so the vaccine we're talking about is a vaccine which is produced by merck and that we have demonstrated in guinea being very very iffy keisha's so although the vaccine is not registered yet it has been used in other greats in a similar operational setting as we did in guinea and so my expectation is if. congress leaves government and decide to go forward with the execution this is what the commission that will be and the challenges in sending in an experimental vaccine. well this has been done already this has been done in in the navy it has been done in sierra leone so there is a specific approval path very good extended access by the usa today that allows to use a vaccine which is not yet registered so there shouldn't be of course any city approval it would look at the national level but there shouldn't be
4:17 pm
a problem with that all right rob very good to have you with us paul kelly thank you thanks a lot. first of all ahead on the news including the date and place is set for the historic meeting between donald trump and kim jong un. kenya asks whether the dam that collapsed and killed dozens should have been built at all. often the dells known as the king of clay any again shows why santa has his latest record run and still. go back now to the ron nuclear deal european leaders are scrambling to save the agreement germany france and britain are vowing to keep the twenty fifteen agreement alive following the u.s. decision to walk away some of europe's biggest companies have billions of dollars on the line in france airbus agreed

4:19 pm
sanctions on french companies working in iran there's a sense of urgency here certainly a sense of frustration and that was pretty much summed up by the french foreign minister joy earlier today when he said european companies should not be punished for the fact that the u.s. has decided to pull out of the iran deal now what we're talking about is french multinationals like renault and citron big car makers drug makers sanity and of course the energy giant a total who have all been investing in iran ever since those sanctions were lifted back in twenty sixteen total for example putting a lot of money into that gas field and mentioning a little bit earlier now if those companies were to pull out that would be of course a huge blow to them and to iranian interests but all of those companies have interests in the u.s. and they simply do not want to see those interests jeopardized but what we're
4:20 pm
looking at are billions of dollars worth of trade between france and iran possibly being at risk and that is why the french finance minister bruno lemaire has been talking he has been saying that france is planning some measures to block the impact of those u.s. sanctions it will try and put them forward to the european commission at some point in the next few days but you know him as saying look europe really needs to step up and do more here. it's high time for europe to move from words to actions in terms of economic sovereignty its hard time it develops the same instruments that the u.s. has to defend its economic interest rates we've heard that the european plane maker airbus the situation terms of business with iran is also up in the air. yes that's right because in fact we've not heard from many of the companies themselves because they're all waiting to see exactly what's going to happen over
4:21 pm
the next few days but what we did hear was from in a rainy and minister talking about airbus airbus airbus that signed a deal back in twenty sixteen for one hundred planes for iran that was a deal that was worth billions of dollars now what's the iranian minister is saying is that airbus is going to announce what it's going to do in the next few days and what that will mean is either that air bus will continue and deliver on those planes or it will have to pull out of that deal and that of course again is going to be bad news for iran and also bad news for the european plane maker because it could mean of course the loss of many jobs especially here in france where air bus is based thank you natasha butler singapore will host the first meeting between the u.s. and north korea leaders on june the twelfth president donald trump announced the date and location on twitter he had previously said he wanted to meet kim jong un
4:22 pm

4:23 pm
to be walked into a red deal where the negotiators john kerry refused to leave. john hendren is following the story 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 un 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.
4:24 pm
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 il the goal the white house says is the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula questions are being raised in kenya about whether a dam that burst and killed at least fifty people on wednesday had the necessary permits the water resources authority says the patella dams operate is did not have the finishing required but the interior ministry told al-jazeera that the dam was entirely legal kenya's public prosecutor has launched an investigation rescuers are still searching for survivors of the dems manage insists the company was operating illegally those done so therefore those who have been doing d.s. is dabs them a big no this is about sixty seven b.n.
4:25 pm
. on this dance a bit about fifteen to twenty years before there's no leader and simmons picks up the story from that. another day of searching is going on all the more harrowing now because the likelihood of finding anyone alive is really zero our team on the ground with the searchers have just reported back a child being recovered from the martin dead sadly and there are an unknown number of people still missing although the estimate has put forty but no one is sure of the exact figures while all this is going on there is a move by the director of public prosecutions before kenya's chief of police to investigate the whole affair and that points the finger immediately at what went on with the management of this on this very large farm patel as it's known and it was actually inspected by the water resources or thought see not so long ago no
4:26 pm
action was taken a pounding they found that it was unsafe but no action was taken furthermore no followup was made by the authorities it would seem so question marks over that and also questions about the seven other dams in the region all very for by all these rains and people but only are they mourning but they're also afraid that there could be a repeat of this tragedy it is kate the weather and with richard with some of the news of the races where the ever recorded in tasmania believe historical proportions again not just a wet day but someone at the wettest day and a day since nine hundred sixty some of the fourth wettest day they've recorded in the state's history there is tasmania buried under that massive cloud and that big low which i've written over the top of this self it doesn't look extraordinary but it certainly was in terms of the weather that it delivered i mean the general
4:27 pm
picture from much frustration at this big area of high pressure says never says mean that although the weather's fine russo bring the winds up from the south but is this low which was the main feature and. and hope art recorded one hundred twenty nine millimeters in twenty four hours and the fifth time they've ever gone over one hundred twenty millimeters during the course of the day so it came down during thursday evenings through into friday so you see what happened overnight scary for those right about to cheer in the evening period and then come the dawn you can see the aftermath of it filthy water rushing through the streets and then the clear has to begin to get rid of it now the low itself is going to move very slowly away towards the east but i say slowly so it's still going to have fairly unsettled weather across some southeastern part of the country and see the low just spiraling around there so i think for melbourne sydney conditions coming but it's going be quite chilly with that low pushing up from the south bring in the cooler winds with it meanwhile across new zealand unsettled weather across the north on
4:28 pm
and with the slow moving across the tasman sea the weather in new zealand is going to be pretty unsettled the next few days to thank you richard still ahead on algis there are protests in the philippines after one of the president's biggest critics loses her job. good news for malaysia's jailed opposition leader just after a new prime minister is sworn in. and. the americans fairing in his bid to keep the world number one ranking santa has the action natans. jailed should never be a country club and anyone who spent time in our facilities will tell you the oldest this thing from a country and we know our approach is more incarcerated and at the mercy of a sheriff's controversial approach to punishment and reform shares holding the problem of power and are allowed to run the jails in the way that they see and we

4:30 pm
you watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories iran says israel's air strikes in syria were based on what it calls a fabricated excuse israel says it launched the attack on thursday after a raid in forces fired rockets at its positions in the occupied golan heights protests have resumed along gaza's border with israel it's the seventh consecutive friday of palestinian demonstrations of protesters are demanding the right of return for refugees at least forty one people have been killed over the past few weeks. world health organization is waiting for democratic republic of congo to prove deploying an experimental a bone or vaccine at least one person has died in the outbreak two cases have been confirmed and doctors are investigating at least thirty other suspected cases refugees in australia's offshore prison camps have been protesting for almost three hundred days after many were refused resettlement in the united states al jazeera
4:31 pm
has learned that hundreds of refugees have gone to the united states while a further three hundred have now been brought to australia something the government said would never happen under thomas reports from sydney. australia's government won't confirm there is a refugee on hunger strike inside this sydney hospital nor that the iranian refugee inside it is even in australia this guy is twenty four to twenty four year. old people very close to that that he has finished the protest outside his tiny seven people watched by police officers in three cars that's as much about secrecy as apathy few know that story his sister was right on australia's refugee prison island of nuru in twenty fifteen she was brought with her brother and mother to australia for treatment or moves being locked in a sydney detention center ever since his hunger strike is his protest and his family are the only refugees are being brought here from the roof to study
4:32 pm
government won't comment or give any numbers but refugee advocates say they think that three hundred forty refugees have been brought to australia from the roof or man aside and australia's government refuses to give what it calls a running commentary so all the numbers in this report come from refugees or their supporters what is known is that in twenty thirteen in twenty fourteen australia deported about two thousand five hundred refugees who had arrived in it shores by boat to prison camps in papua new guinea and the roof said none would ever resettle in australia but some have been brought to australia to give birth or for serious medical problems and then remained hundreds more have been paid thousands of dollars by australia to return to their countries of origin and two hundred forty seven have been resettled in the united states after donald trump agreed to on of barack obama's favor to australians government despite describing it as a done deal. but most sent to madison almost five years ago are still there
4:33 pm
iranians and somalis make up more than a third of those but since donald trump's so-called muslim travel ban none of them have been accepted to the u.s. resettlement this week australia said those rejected would have to stay in papua new guinea on a route despite those countries saying they don't want them we'll continue to look at third country reitman's believe me that our department been working on this for a number of years people are jumping out of this scheme to provide places and that's the reality refugees on manna solander approaching three hundred days of peaceful protest but very few australians know it that's exactly what australia has policies aim to achieve andrew thomas al-jazeera sydney. indian prime minister narendra modi is on a two day visit to nepal it's his first trip since twenty fifteen when his government imposed an unofficial blockade along the nepalese board it caused a shortage of essential goods and opened
