we will not move until we get our rights if the international community was on a separate us and implemented a two state solution it was promised our lives would be so much better no one can accept living in this siege i was no light at the end of the tunnel. there was a constant volley of tear gas and other established pattern now israeli soldiers firing close to the fence and right to the back of the crowds this is what we've been seeing happening for the last a couple of hours a lot of tear gas being thrown. into the crowd and then do you think they are picking it up and throwing it back towards the feds that young people here are frustrated they have spent eleven years growing up under an israeli and egyptian seach they say they feel suffocated there are no jobs unemployment is over sixty percent that's the highest rate in the world. look at me when there is
1:04 am

are determined to come out in huge numbers stephanie decker al jazeera east gaza. two days after israel blamed iranian forces in syria for firing missiles into the golan heights iran's foreign ministry has denied israel's account of the incident and might cut tommy a senior cleric joining the chorus of condemnation coming from tehran but from what he said in his friday sermon israel is not the only thing iran's leaders are worried about then bus ravi reports the in perhaps the ha. just a word so far a senior iranian cleric said israeli cities face destruction if that country continues to act quote foolishly the us during a friday sermon a to her own university ayatollah cut to me had this warning after strikes on what israel says were iranian targets in syria that in august said we will expand our
1:06 am
missile capabilities despite western pressure to kid it to let israel know that if it acts foolishly tell of the behavior will be totally destroyed ca to me is part of the council of experts an eighty eight member body that elects iran's supreme leader but he's also a political hard liner and has been a harsh critic of the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal he gave his views on the u.s. pullout from that agreement empty because i don't think america could not do a damn thing they have always been after toppling of iran's regime and they segues it is in line with that these european signatories also cannot be trusted iran's enemies cannot be trusted not on these comments come as a ronnie and foreign minister job ads or if prepares to embark on a diplomatic tour meeting the remaining signatories of the nuclear agreement his job to try to preserve the deal has no doubt because if. i was
1:07 am
if they actually want to continue with the deal with they have to adopt toss diplomacy with the europeans the europeans have to come up with mechanisms to protect european companies in european banks that want to invest and do trade with you want and an escalation of violence at syria's border seems linked to the u.s. pullout from the nuclear deal well i think the israelis are trying really hard to completely kill off the deal by rising tensions in the region they're essentially going to make it even very difficult for iran to even work with the europeans. and i think ultimately what they're trying to do is to put you on a confrontational path with the west and i mean that's the reason why they were against the deal from the beginning the. iranian leaders know the nuclear deal is on borrowed time and there is mounting public pressure at home as well as deep internal divisions among iran's political heavyweights all this could mean that an
1:08 am
international agreement here is in the making not something that represents a hard won diplomatic victory for iran is now beyond repair hardliners in iran have been emboldened by the events of the last few days and the moderates the government of president hosni rouhani are not only in a fight to save the nuclear deal abroad but also to maintain their own political futures here at home zain. germany france and britain are desperate to keep the nuclear deal alive some of europe's biggest companies have billions of dollars on the line in france airbus agreed a twenty five billion dollars deal to supply more than one hundred aircraft to iran oil giant total was said to invest five billion dollars in south pas that's the world's largest gas field and the carmakers run zero persia made deals worth around five hundred million dollars each has more now from paris. or french government ministers have been working very hard on
1:09 am
a plan to try and reduce minimize or even get rid of the impact of u.s. sanctions on french companies working in iran there's a sense of urgency here certainly a sense of frustration we heard from the french foreign minister a bit earlier saying europeans should not be made to pay for the fact that the united states has decided to pull out of the iran deal that we have a host of french multinationals that have been working with iran ever since sanctions were lifted in twenty sixty we're talking about companies like car makers renault citron drug companies on the free and of course energy giant hotel that has invested very heavily in gas fields in iran french finance minister bruno lemaire has been very busy trying to rally people around he says europe needs to step up and do more and he says france is going to try and present some measures to block these sanctions the impact of them on french companies to the european commission
1:10 am
in the next few days. so it's high time for your group to move from words to actions in terms of economics often saying it's high time we developed the same instruments the united states has to defend its economic interests. well only on friday we heard from one iranian minister who said that the european playmaker air boss is going to give a decision in the coming days on. whether or not it will continue with its deal with iran they're now basically ever signed a deal with iran they're back in twenty sixteenth's liver one hundred planes it was a deal worth billions of dollars but in this climate of uncertainty nobody knows what is going to happen next but my money is a professor at waterloo university in canada where she specializes in foreign policy related to the middle east she says iran may not be completely isolated by the international community as russia and china are also part of the nuclear deal
1:11 am
if the europeans pull out or arse are scared off from continuing their investments in iran they're going to be the greatest beneficiaries you know both china and russia have said that they're going to continue to do business on the russian side obviously they're under american sanctions already so you know they don't care of any secondary sanctions are going to come on them and the chinese are not really well integrated them international banking system so they don't care so they're going to benefit enormously and i think that's going to have to be pitched or explained to donald trump in many ways that you know if the sanctions are really you know reimpose and become heavy handed on the european companies these are two competitors that are really going to benefit and that's not in the long to remark an interesting other questions are being raised in kenya about whether a dam which burst and killed at least fifty people on wednesday had the necessary permits the water resources or storage he says the. operators did not have the
1:12 am
permission required but the interior ministry told al jazeera that the operation was entirely legal the rescue operation has now become a recovery operation as andrew symonds reports. with no hope of finding survivors the sense of urgency had gone it was a path finding bodies over a large expanse of ground in deep set mud flood water many of those found dead have been children meaning i may be alive but my mom is gone my son is gone i'm not lucky i feel so bad because the place has grown so much but now we have nothing again i will never have a good life again at the local mortuary there's an attempt at helping the bereaved a counselling service this man whose wife is dead expressed his gratitude that his daughter somehow survived the. massacre they were able to rescue my child after the water subsided she had hung on to a tree branch and was tired but i thank god she is ok. most of us gauged in one
1:13 am
of three actions identifying the dead trying to settle in a makeshift camp for the displaced or recovering what's left of their lives and their homes it's a familiar grim picture in so many parts of kenya in this flood crisis even so there are those who feel they're lucky if you could remove it with that because. we thank god that we're alive even though we've lost everything i'm grateful for my life and that my family was spared. all over the area there was a controlled release of water from other downs but local people still feel uneasy about risks kenya's director of public prosecutions has ordered the chief of police to open an investigation local media are reporting that the patel dam was investigated by the national water resources or forty and deemed unsafe but no
1:14 am
action was taken nor any follow up by the all forty aside from questions over this there are seven other similar dams in the area all of them used for irrigating the crops from the air it's clear to see the consequences of such a dam burst but an interior ministry spokesman on the ground told out zero that no laws have been broken by the farm owners some people are claiming the number of missing could be larger than the national disaster team is saying because many bodies have been recovered. we've heard on the radio that forty three people are missing i'm a local i just don't believe it we know it's a two hundred people that are missing. and so whatever the cause whatever the numbers the people of this rural district have to cope with their losses and somehow live in these grim conditions andrew symonds al-jazeera there is
