increase their support for palestinians and boycott products from israel and the u.s. . well a prominent iranian cleric has threatened the destruction of two israeli cities following the worst faceoff to date between the two countries over syria alley on thursday morning israel fired dozens of missiles at what it alleged were ever many in positions in syria it says it was responding to an iranian attack on its troops in the golan heights which iran vehemently denies from tehran is a must rob it reports was in perhaps the harshest words so far a senior iranian cleric said israeli cities face destruction if that country continues to act quote foolishly the 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 not in august we will expand our missile
2:07 am
capabilities despite western pressure to kid it to let israel know that if it acts foolishly tell of even hateful 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 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 cannot do a damn thing they have always been after toppling of iran's regime and they segregate 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 reef 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 become more difficult was
2:08 am
if they actually want to continue with the deal they have to adopt tough diplomacy with the european. the europeans have to come up with mechanisms to protect european companies and european banks that want to invest and do trade with you on 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 of 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
2:09 am
international agreement years in the making something that represented 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. well the rising tensions comes hard on the heels of america's withdrawal from the iran nuclear agreement which european leaders and i was scrambling to salvage germany france and britain promise to stay in their part of the deal some of europe's biggest companies have billions of dollars on the line you know peon plane maker airbus with large operations in france has twenty five billion dollars deal to supply iran with more than one hundred aircraft french oil giant total had planned to invest five billion dollars in south powers that's the world's largest gas field and carmakers run zero and

2:11 am
sanctions were lifted in twenty sixteen we're talking about companies like car makers rhino citron drug company santa fe 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 in the next few days. 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. well only on friday we heard from one iranian minister who said that the european plane maker airbus is going to give
2:12 am
a decision in the coming days on whether or not it will continue with its deal with iran and i basically signed a deal with iran they're back in twenty sixteen to deliver 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. the u.n. says two hundred and thirty six civilians were killed in yemen in april that's more than double the number killed the month before it's urging all parties in the conflict to respect international law but the u.n. human rights office blames many deaths on saudi arabia's military tactics our office has documented a total of sixteen thousand four hundred and thirty two civilian casualties and this includes six thousand three hundred eighty five dead and ten thousand and forty seven injured and the vast majority of these civilian casualties were as a result of an strikes carried out by the saudi led coalition and coming up in the

2:14 am
the sense of urgency had gone it was about finding bodies over a large expanse of ground in deep set mud flood water many of those found dead have been children in the 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. 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 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
2:15 am
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. 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 all forty and deemed unsafe but no 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
2:16 am
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 al-jazeera 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 why did you elect and 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 bit two hundred people that are missing. and so whatever the cause whatever the numbers the people of this rule district have to cope with their losses and somehow live in these grim conditions andrew symonds al-jazeera there is a county in kenya in neighboring somalia heavy rains have affected half a million people out of the charbroil river burst its banks the u.n. estimates more than one hundred thousand people have been forced out of their homes

2:18 am
the use of an experimental vaccine to try to stop the outbreak and in the meantime we have preparing as if it will be a green light so coaching is on standby the stockpile is on standby the teams are being put on standby health authours is compare the outbreak on tuesday they were alerted when news came from a remote congolese village to the capital kinshasa the outbreak declaration occurred after the lab results confirmed true cases four people died during an outbreak last year but it's over current threats the d r c has had nine ebola outbreaks in the last forty years it is highly contagious it kills half the people it infects and has no cure the experimental vaccine has been successfully used to. approve it extended access. it passes from its origin bass to humans
2:19 am
through bush meat once in the population it spreads through bodily fluids symptoms evolved from a pea the headaches in a sore throat into organ failure along with internal and external bleeding health workers the most vulnerable being in close proximity to the victims so three have been impacted the w.h.o. is trying to support the d r c s health workers by sending in fifty experts and releasing one million dollars problem urgency to stop it from spreading nigeria is already taking measures rolling out ebola school. that is the apple investigators will follow anyone who has been exposed to the by whisper three weeks the time it takes but ebola victims to show symptoms burials will also be monitored as people can get infected while preparing bodies all part of an effort to avoid a repeat of the worst ebola outbreak in west africa in twenty protein which killed
2:20 am
more than eleven thousand people and the heywood. was a good bosches a specialist in infectious disease and tropical medicine at the toronto general hospital is joining us and skype from toronto thank you very much indeed for your time so one of the situations that west africa encountered in its break recently was that it's spreading incredibly quickly is the r.c. better prepared for this. absolutely you know if yours is better care for the earth couple reasons number one is that is so great is a very rural and remote so we just don't have the same population density that we had in the west african areas that were affected so that's one thing that might help prevent the rapid spread of this yeah the reason is that the democratic republic of congo has a lot of experience dealing with ebola outbreaks and they have a very good centers for disease control and they have a bowling team and they also external funding and support to help with this
2:21 am
response so based on the knowledge that they have and most of external support and that it's in a rural and rather remote setting you know backers that will help limit the spread of this outbreak i can understand what you mean about the fact that to the geography of the area is clearly helping but if i understand it correctly it's on the banks of lake tom but that connects to the congo river that connects to kinshasa given the time scale that we're talking about here and i understand there has been some delay in the reporting process is there a risk do you think without wanting to be alarmist that there may have been people who may have contracted what maybe like a bowl and may have traveled to have more heavily densely populated areas. yeah that's i mean that's always the concern because the incubation period for this infection ranges from one to three weeks most people if they're infected will have symptoms in a seven to ten days so certainly people can get infected and travel to far off places and we saw that with the west african help when their worst cases seen it
2:22 am
united kingdom and united states hurts apple and of course in nigeria so certainly that's always the risk the probability is low and the fact that there is great awareness of this so not just nationally in the democratic republic of congo but internationally certainly helps the fact that people have had symptoms and were in that area will be the medical teams will be able to contain it rather quickly and we heard in our correspondent emma hayward's report just a few moments ago that the aid agencies are right over ready beginning to free up funds and move treatment into the area one of the problems with the west africa break was that that happened quite late that the things were very slow to be put on to the ground do you think the aid agencies have learned from that and will be able to deal with the situation more easily so loosely absolutely absolutely and in fact one of the big criticisms of the west african oh was that it wakes you hong to pull
2:23 am
the trigger to initiate international support especially from the world health organization and you know they were. in the end the night they recognize that they were a little bit slow in this certainly contributed to the wider spread of this action as as we just heard there was almost thirty thousand people infected and about eleven thousand people that died so now many time there isn't bowl operate we can be sure that the response is going to be swift and large and certainly not what it is here with external support the other positive here is that there was a lot more was the west african people or it was there was a lot of knowledge that was gained from that. and some of that knowledge people using novel treatments and backseat and and these are very promising and certainly it looks like maybe one of the vaccines that show promise will be used in this setting as well the day i see as you describe certainly seems to be getting on top
2:24 am
of this situation what about the neighboring countries are they as well prepared to deal with this in the event that it may spill over the border it's hard to say us certainly did your city has the most experience i mean they've had. ebola virus the r.c. and they definitely have had a lot of experience dealing with this and they've had the ability to develop the capacity allowed capacity the training of the personnel equipment as they have the capacity to deal with it but some of the neighboring countries might not be as well quipped what was really need to hear is that night your you know which is not directly near peru but certainly close by and has some close ties with the congo is that nigeria has taken some dentists steps to really screen and ensure people aren't aren't back to nigeria with here in little support in fact i would say with no support from the west that for people that are so pretty beautifully responded to an important case and really quell there are there are epidemic quickly and
2:25 am
effectively so it's nice to know that there are countries of the neighborhood that they can do this very effectively on their own and certainly with the support of external funders such as the world health organization some of the other is that might not be as well equipped to deal with this or getting support to really going to get your views on this size of bush thank you very much indeed thanks so much for having it. south korea wants u.s. troops to remain in the country saying their removal is non negotiable ahead of need denuclearization talks between washington and north korea sounds far and minister also insisted sanctions against the north must not be lifted before the summit next month. is in washington d.c. to meet the new secretary of state might pump a zero. three men have been killed during a crackdown on anti-government demonstrations in the nicaraguan capital managua they were shot as police and government supporters broke up student protests at two universities it's unclear who killed the man. malaysia's new

prime minister mahathir mohamad says the king has agreed to pardon a former deputy prime minister anwar ibrahim was jailed while he was opposition leader on charges he says or politically motivated but he's now in coalition with the idea after wednesday's election when he reports from kuala lumpur. that it was the prospect of a pardon sent family supporters and media scrambling to a hospital in kuala lumpur inside and why abraham is recovering from shoulder surgery under prison guard while he serves a five year jail term earlier the new prime minister mahathir mohamad said the malaysian king had agreed to pardon and while immediately it is going to be full by then we should was means that he should not really be patted each should be released immediately when it is. that you get free.

but this speech really both of. which are remarkable would stay here from who was grooming and want to take over in the one nine hundred ninety s. during his first tenure as prime minister but he sect him as his deputy in one nine hundred ninety eight when unproven allegations of sodomy emerged and then oversaw his jailing for six years on corruption charges the following year in two thousand and fourteen he was convicted on separate sodomy charges and sentenced to five years now in events that not long ago would have seemed unthinkable and was wife one as he stands alongside mahathir as malaysia's first female deputy prime minister i don't think i have dreamt about this for twenty years it's quite some time i've achieved it. it is a start of the new dawn a new era new time for melissa and i think it's a better future for all of us the prime minister now says he was wrong to fire and watch twenty years ago and he'll hand power to him within two years even when and
2:28 am
why abraham is pardons and released it may be a long time before he can be elevated to the position of prime minister he would have to go through a byelection in a seat somewhere in malaysia and then an internal vote so he can become party president all of that has to happen before he can become prime minister. his supporters who have been with him during a long fight may not believe it until it actually happens given that mahathir mohammed has promised this transition before when hey al jazeera kuala lumpur. the top judge in the philippines has called on supporters to defend the constitution after she was removed from her position there were protests and when they're not a fellow judges voted to expel the chief justice mario said from the supreme court they were acting on a government petition seeking her dismissal so when it was being critical the president were to go to turkey urging people to stand up to what she called his or

2:30 am
wing league polled seventeen percent but the two parties may struggle to agree on a workable joint program though both promised tax cuts tax cuts the league's signature policy it was a fifteen percent flat tax rate while five stars main campaign promise was a guaranteed minimum income of seven hundred eighty euros a month that's about nine hundred thirty dollars both are traditionally euro skeptic but what the league wants to abandon the euro as soon as possible five-star has backed away from its own call for a referendum on the issue lorenza condone no is a visiting professor at the london school of economics and he says a new government leader would have to be an independent candidate the idea is really to have a balance that governments are basically probably your and sell beanie will get become deputy prime minister ok and again someone else in the middle between these two bad news will kind of lead the government in must be someone coming in from
2:31 am
outside the parties the mainstream parties which are all in a position now probably saw. it's difficult to envisage a who is going to be this figure but will be huge really important in my view the president will make sure there is someone that has a decent this perience and there and you know good relationship with the other european partners and the rest of the world. police in turkey have detained another one hundred fifty soldiers for their alleged links to the attempted coup in twenty sixteen ankara has accused the us based preacher for to legoland of all constraint in the coup attempt since the coup more than fifty thousand people have been arrested and one hundred forty thousand public workers have lost their jobs. still ahead and al jazeera as iraq prepares to go to the polls we meet the families displaced by the war against isis now hoping for a better life. you'd have vision control over safe while one of china's t.v.

election campaigning. only around twenty five families of the one thousand three hundred fifty living in this camp have returned to the areas they fled during the battle against. the vast majority of the people here a sudanese and their homes have been completely destroyed is when you speak to people here many of them say that even if they could return to the areas they lived in they have very little faith in politicians because they feel so let down by discriminated against by previous shia led government. the government says it's going to cost two billion dollars to rebuild mosul forty thousand homes were destroyed in the west of the city alone. every few days people who used to live there gather in the camps to collect food handouts. off camera some tell us that when i still took control of mosul in two thousand and fourteen many among

called the euro vision asia song contest it was supposed to be broadcast in twenty sixteen it hasn't yet it's planned for october twenty eighth if china has a problem with two men holding hands here it may have a problem with countries in south asia that want to join this contest india pakistan bangladesh nepal sri lanka culturally in these countries but many of our viewers have been over the holiday will have seen men holding hands is part of a cultural issue in countries like that or side of brotherly love china may have a problem with this for whatever reason but as far as the e.b.u. is concerned. china signing up to a virtual larger wider song contest where the freedom of expression or sexual orientation can become an issue within a contest like this so as far as i'm aware homosexuality someone's sexuality is not illegal in china and i think one t.v. channel had a gay interview show about twenty years ago what's the reaction on social media for example in china to this decision. well at the moment it's very unsure i haven't
