on the border with israel the buffer zone the israeli buffer zone is just behind the crowd of black smoke that's where the palestinians have been burning tires to try and create a smokescreen and then from there they've been throwing rocks at israeli positions these rallies are on their side have been using that crowd control techniques which is effectively throwing in to take gas from jeeps and using take gas drones now about two hours ago you'll see the carts up there about two hours ago the palestinians managed to catch one of the israeli drones in a kite and bring it down so because it's a real issue for the israelis watch for these raids tribe probably decriminalise was effectively a toy a toy that's been turned by the palestinians in squalor effective i'm t.-t. drawing weapon now the reason this is all going on right now and the reason it all happened early is because there was a call out the most saying that they wanted to come after friday prayers usually these protests will start around five o'clock in the off and they started at two

o'clock this time around as a show of strength. and all of this happening specifically on what is known as al could stay. what is that. well it could say effectively jerusalem day was created by the iranians after the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution revolution as a way of showing support for the palestinian cause is quite big and began to spread across countries marches in places like pakistan in iraq in other parts of the middle east but not only that it spread across into some places in europe as well burning being a key one so it's a way of showing support for the palestinians but the palestinians have also adopted it happens the last friday of every single ramadan of course that's what we're here witnessing and al could say was a real kind of you know push for these people to turn up here and as you can see the israeli still bringing in. trains as the palestinians push on all could say

slightly closer to the buffer zone but i have to say that both the protesting the protesters committee said to them to the protesters please don't go as close the border as you've been in the past we are trying to avoid casualties iran live in the israel boulder area thank you. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including relatives of volcano victims take matters into their own hands as search and rescue operations are suspended again. the red cross pulls out more than seventy of its staff members from yemen due to security concerns coming up in schools the washington capitals finally when hopkins leaves coveted prize job will be here with all the. those a growing rift between the un's refugee agency u.n.h.c.r.

and the lebanese government over syrian refugees in the latest development lebanon has frozen residency applications for u.n. and c.l. staff the lebanese foreign minister get on bassil is accusing the agency of spreading fear among refugees to discourage them from returning home lebanon is home to more than one and a half million syrians who fled the war that's about a quarter of lebanon's entire population. well. i announced today that i intend to take the first action by the foreign ministry against the un refugee agency which boasts about returning forty million refugees back to their homes it therefore has a responsibility to return one point five million syrian refugees back to syria the actions taken sapporo will be a warning and will show how far lebanon can go in the face of an organization that is working against the policy of lebanon and its interests. many syrian refugees

refugees in lebanon live in desperate conditions more than half of them are in extreme poverty making them hugely dependent on aid almost nine out of ten refugees say they're in some form of debt and according to human rights watch all the three thousand five hundred of them were forcibly evicted from their homes because of their nationality or their religion while another forty two thousand risk of being expelled from their shelters there are growing coals from evidence politicians for refugees to go home and they cite economic political and security challenges meanwhile inside syria medical sources say russian planes have launched as strikes against a rebel held village in the northwest of the country they say the bombs hit a residential neighborhood of donna that's in the province at least fifty people were killed and dozens of others were injured russia's defense ministry though

denies carrying out any strikes in libya say many rebels and civilians have been moved to the province as part of a cease ceasefire deals in other parts of the country. well the red cross has pulled out more than seventy of its staff from yemen because of security concerns it's called on the warring parties to guarantee its workers safety so that medical and food assistance programs can continue an employee was shot dead in april mary claire federally is the spokeswoman for the international committee for the red cross and she says it was a difficult decision but its workers must be protected so in the past two weeks the i.c.r.c. the international media the red cross across yemen has received threats that come with an overall deterioration of the security let's not forget that less than two months ago the i.c.r.c. also lost a staff member that was brutally killed in ties the security concern has come from the fact that we feel that we have lost the security guarantees that are the

response ability of all the parties to this conflict which has prompted the i.c.r.c. to pull out seventy one of its small by staff and. to nearby djibouti where we have a support office for yemen very sadly it's means that we have reduced the impact of our a life saving operations in yemen but this does not mean that we are leaving the yemeni people behind we relocated the staff this means that we have less capacity to operate but we are continuing to operate remotely from from djibouti where we have a support office what i want to make clear is that this reduction has started since the killing of our county can and who would. two months ago and it's ongoing now but we are not leaving the yemeni people behind but again we need more security get indians and we need more serious and solid get empty so that we can continue to provide the response to the yemeni people. well the red cross' move comes

as the u.n. warns against a military assault on the red sea city of her data saying that that would harm up to two hundred fifty thousand people the forces yemen's main route for humanitarian supplies the saudi military says yemeni government forces are within a few kilometers all of this who three controlled city saudi arabia backs the government as part of a coalition with the u.s. . the. humanitarian coordinator in yemen is grounded says that a military attack or siege on her data will impact hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians humanitarian organizations have rushed to develop a contingency plan in a prolonged worst case we fear that as many as two hundred fifty thousand people may lose everything even their lives are russia's president vladimir putin is on a state visit to china the two sides have based it economic military and political cooperation during the presidency of c. jim thing in order to counter the u.s.

of the two leaders with historically close ties have quite a bit of influence over the north korean leader kim jong il. and i see. russia and china both want peace in the korean peninsula peace talks between the two koreas either moving towards the right direction moscow's recent contacts with north korea contrarian pyongyang answer readiness for a constructive work more now from our correspondent in beijing florence louis. russian president vladimir putin is in china for the shanghai cooperation organization summit now this is an economic grouping led by russia and china seen by some as a counterweight to many of the groupings and blocks that are dominated by the united states and the two countries are drawing closer in part because of the close personal ties between their leaders and in part driven by they increasingly fraught relationship with the u.s.

and when we look at russia it's finding that it needs more trade partners in the east particularly china because of sanctions against it led by the u.s. for its annexation of crimea in two thousand and fourteen russia is also being investigated and being accused of having meddled in u.s. elections as for china it's in the midst of a possible trade war with the u.s. these are the world's two largest economies china is also facing criticism from the u.s. and being challenged for its increasing militarization of disputed parts of the south china sea and the other thing that these two countries have in common is that they are not invited to the summit that's going to be held between north korea and the u.s. that's not to say though that we can't discount their influence now in the days leading up to in days in the weeks leading up to this summit taking place russia has visited north korea that suggested that sanctions against north korea ought to be lifted in phases to perhaps gain favor with north korean officials and meantime

we've also seen china extend visits to north korean leader twice this year already . now u.s. prisons are reportedly preparing to accept hundreds of foreigners detained by immigration and customs agents this is the first large scale use of federal prison during the trumpet ministrations crackdown on illegal immigration trade unions are worried about the lack of preparation to accept what could be sixteen hundred people including asylum seekers and others have entered the u.s. illegally let's go live now to d.c. washington d.c. is sweeter she have a timeshare correspondent there so criminal facilities i mean if this is confirmed criminal facilities for alleged civil violations sounds a bit harsh. yes but this isn't the first time that federal prisons have been used to house detainees why grant detainees but it's the scale that is very interesting here some as you said sixteen hundreds potentially will be detained for up to one

hundred twenty days while the gratian authorities try to find to find other arrangements for them yes these are people who have done nothing other than look for a better life these are criminals these are people who you know who will be used to the conditions of the tory asli appalling federal prisons in the united states who may potentially be with those convicted of terrible crimes so that's got people very very wide not it's not as if they're however that immigration facilities in the u.s. a terribly good either that have been plenty of lawsuits particular against the obama administration actually for the kind of conditions that we have an immigration authorities detention facilities but the surge of detainees comes from the trumpet ministrations policy of arresting and prosecuting everyone who attempts to cross the border without the relevant papers and this is been going on while the policy began and in the beginning of may this is what led them to that the headlines we've had recently about the separation of children from their parents

some six hundred children separated since may from their from their parents some as young as some of them was twelve months old the u.n. human rights chief has already said that that's against international law it's against the rights of the child the troubled ministration doesn't seem terribly concerned and as you point out it sounds to say this is very much in keeping with the rest of of trump policy with regard to people who have come into the country without the appropriate paperwork say presumably the criticism might worry him. right seems actually he wants the criticism it seems the administration's policy is one of the terrence making these headlines and these news stories so appalling make making the prospect of being detained in the u.s. so appalling that people won't attempt to do so however there's no evidence of that actually is working in fact the number of people being apprehended on the southern border has risen over the last several months actually i think the last because we had fifty one thousand people apprehended at the southern border in april and i was

up sixteen thousand from the previous year having said that we should put this in the context of overall u.s. policy over the last several years this idea of deterrence is one that actually the obama administration instituted in twenty fourteen when i was a surge of immigrants from central america and it was the obama administration that expanded family detention for example and having children in custody in fact overall the u.s. has eleven thousand two hundred children who are migrants who is attempting to get entered into the country in detention or not all of those are from the troubled ministration quite clearly it didn't work then according to the statistics and it doesn't seem to be working now but these but what trump is doing is building on a very efficient infrastructure deporting and detaining migrants that president obama created which earns him the nickname deporter in chief to an act of even more draconian policies now all right thank you for that you have a time t. live from washington. now airlines are being warned of renewed activity from the floyd volcano. ash continues to shower

a vos area rescue teams have had to temporarily abandon the search for survivors and victims leaving families digging through the mud themselves more than a hundred people in the name to have died in the least two hundred others still missing david mercer reports. a community in mourning in the mountains of what amala lucky did the lives mother was one of more than one hundred people who died after a volcanic eruption buried the town of san miguel is look this after days of not knowing lucky will finally be able to put her mother to rest it's a small consolation during a time of immense grief. i give thanks to god that they found my mother's body they were looking for her for three days for three days we didn't know anything until they told us she was in the morgue it's hard to so many are still missing many people in my family are still missing. since sunday the deadly eruption dozens

of bodies have been handed over to relatives some people here have been able to get some closure but two hours away in the city of a square others are just starting the challenging and sometimes long process of trying to identify their loved ones. relatives of missing persons come to the city's morgue family members describe important physical characteristics blood samples are then taken for d.n.a. analysis the work being done here is essential for people's peace of mind the same for the east in the sense that i feel sad i feel sad because i want my family to be found and brought to my house even if it's just the bones i want them in my house i want to give them a funeral and a proper christian burial this is my wish. identifying the dead is a laborous task. might have enough qual. fide staff forensics officials say their budget isn't enough to respond to

a disaster of this magnitude but is this in fact the cadavers have been exposed to high temperatures well being buried for days these his kook good buddies tissues which could mean the bone cells have died it's possible we'll have to repeat some of the t. shirt samples to get a genetic profile. that means it could take weeks or even months to identify the dad and with hundred still missing from the eruption that cost many residents off guard what a mall and prosecutors will investigate whether and back you ation procedures were properly followed. david mercer out to zero. it's time for the weather now here's where ever ten whether it's an ever ten. like that of course you can get me on twitter and facebook and using that handle mati about floods and fires in the u.s. actually take a look at the satellite picture of this massive cloud that we've got just still around but just to the north of texas this is in for just

a very very heavy rainfall and whether it's not going to fall too quickly it will edge its way further east was further north neighboring state actually up into colorado we have had problems with wildfires to so close but yet so far this is the same where we've seen the flooding into work lahoma some really heavy rain coming in here some parts around oklahoma city seeing around eighty millimeters of rain in the space of twenty four hours hence the flooding has been power cuts and thousands of people have had to about of their homes at least for the time being further north this is where we're seeing the fires some really nasty conditions here a wildfire just burning away and that's setting no sign of abating too quickly it's just about being contained but as you can see the west whether that's there across the great plains out west or whether this is friday's picture this wetter weather makes its way further east was as we go on through saturday offering no help as far as the as far as a concern showers long spells of rain moving over towards the appalachians but

skies come back in behind for a time war weather as you can see just coming in across the plains and just for good measure we've got some snow coming into the northwest. everson thank you very much indeed still to come in the second half of this. thing clearly now the cheap new technology helping refugees from him with their eyesight . vicious trying to rebuild talks with nicaragua as president of the never to end weeks of violence. and iceland prepare for their first world cup joe will tell you if they manage to stay cool under pressure in their final woman. a year as paul since the start of the blockade. causes foreign minister talks to al jazeera about the impact of the crisis on regional politics. and how his country is

reminder of the top stories here on the al-jazeera news lebanon is frozen residency applications for u.n. h.e.l. staff in a growing rift over syrian refugees the lebanese foreign minister. is accusing the un refugee agency of spreading fear to discourage syrians from going back home. now this is a scene live in girls as you can see the crowds a building for another round of friday protests this is very close to the barrier fence it separates gaza from israel israeli forces have killed at least one hundred eighteen palestinians during weeks of demonstrations. donald trump is valid to straighten out controversies over trade at the g. seven summit starting in canada the us president is expected to face an angry

reaction from the other six countries to his imposition of steel and aluminum tyrus are now to call in robertson his vice president and fellow at the canadian global affairs institute a think tank he's joining us now from the canadian capital thank you very much indeed for talking to us how close do you think we are to trade war. oh i think we've still got a ways to go most of world trade still takes place without tariffs and protectionism in fact the trend has been to try and take down tariffs in recent years but these few celebrated examples of the tariff on steel and aluminum and the threat of a major tariff on the whole auto trade imposed by the trump administration has shaken the system there's also concern that united states is blocking the urban tray should the takes place at the world trade organization so the leaders will be

pushing the president to say look you the united states normally the president is states is the guarantee her and the guardian and steward of the trade based rules based system you're departing from that now emanuel mccrone the french president has already indicated that he be quite happy to see some sort of agreement signed by the remaining six and leaving out the united states say if indeed that is the case will it really matter can the six press i'm with a fair amount of global trade without a predictive terrorist and leave the americans out. well they yes they can and that's what we've done on climate and that's what the europeans are trying to do was support from canada and others on for example the iran deal but it is much clearly much more effective if the ninety states is present but i think it underlines that you know the constructive powers have got to start standing up now traditionally depended upon the united states the president in particular to be the backstop the underwriter of the rules based international system designed by the

americans you have a president now who takes an entirely different view america first buy america higher american so i think the other powers and this talk table of democracies is where it really has to start is they going to have to take the lead and say ah right we're going to preserve this because it's in our interest and we hope you the u.s. will come back in but the current system rules based trade system that is govern the wealth of a long time now doesn't seem to be looking for an awful lot of people around the world does it mentioned india and fondness as one particular group and that all those people who live who are protesting in quebec city not to mention who protested around the world at various other times they don't think that label is ation is working for them that could even account for the arrival of president trump in the white house so isn't it time their full to be thinking about a completely different system that is fair and equitable. martin i think you're right i think that the populism is indeed part as a result of globalism in the sense that not all boats have risen and indeed trade

has not benefited you point out the people who are protesting and that takes us to there's a canadian initiative called the progressive trade agenda which puts much more focus now on how do we ensure that the gains of trade are fairly shared and you put one of the emphasis is on on women empowering women on gender and i mean other groups and making sure that that there is adjustment policies as a consequence of trade that's something that the year of it probably starts with european leaders and canada and japan and hopefully united states comes along to say yes this is in our interest but they we have to make sure that is not only fair but seem to be fair or we're going to face the kind of populism that you described called the robertson thank you very much indeed thank you martin a catholic bishop to try to stop two months of bloodshed in nicaragua they've met the president and they want to mediate between the government and protest as well blocking roads across the country meanwhile reports from the capital met.

another day of unrest in the get out what it means another funeral this time it's a thirty three year old opposition demonstrator killed during one of the latest confrontations with pro-government forces in messiah his body was carried past a checkpoint to the nearby cemetery. with tensions continuing to rise in messiah all the roads leading into the city have been blocked by demonstrators forcing thousands of people to walk for hours to the next town. we have you will kill looking for food if you don't have the government i come to having dinner while you go hungry. political violence has become common in this part of the country some of those leaving the area say they're not coming back any time soon. they're walking to managua to see if we can make it to the border with. we don't know if we'll be able to make it all the way there. despite the relative calm demonstrators are quick to react to any activity that might suggest an assault from armed groups

behind me is just one of dozens of barricades set up by anti-government demonstrators now these barriers that are set up aren't only here to shield protesters from pro-government forces but also to prevent the free flow of commercial traffic into the city of messiah which has become a symbol of the resistance against the government. the only traffic allowed to pass through the barricades are emergency vehicles humanitarian aid workers and members of the catholic church and that if you talk about. has seen violence has seen deaths the city is totally paralyzed there is no commerce it's snipers that have left so many dead in messiah. the catholic church continues to act as the primary mediator in the ongoing crisis on thursday bishops and met with president daniel ortega presenting to him a set of conditions for renewing a national dialogue a dialogue the church says will only continue if the government can guarantee an

end to the violence went up. when i was. the austrian government plans to shut down seven mosques and expel up to forty a mom's which turkey has denounces anti islam and racist all share is home to six hundred thousand muslims most of them of turkish origin leaders of the right wing government say is just the beginning of a crackdown against conservative muslim groups with foreign funding that's also sebastian could says political islam has no place in austria we can speak now to klaus hudl who is a an historian and author of islamophobia in austria the recent emergence of anti muslim sentiments in the country he's joining us via skype from good at thank you for talking to us what is behind the government's decision then to close these mosques and to expel these emails and their families is it anti islamic well

thank you for asking me it's very delicate issue as a matter of fact. you have to take into account that we have a coalition government in austria going no far right to this party and the very conservative party it has moved very much to riot over the last few months. that's one thing the second thing is. this is. that is predominant in austria is very much influence from turkey turkey right now it's also a very nationalist government so this is probably more a political political cockroach if you are than anything else and. sentiment and how does how does turkish support allegedly effect then the way islam is practiced in austria today. turkey turkey founts gives a lot of money to conservative groups to conservative groups. whose

aim and goal is not so much to integrate turks into austrian society than to maintain a certain understanding of islam as some people say it's not really compatible with austrian society but that's the kind of language that is often used isn't it by those that seek to close down the space of any given society in order to make it a fairly homogenous uniform society is that what's going on in austria today yes absolutely absolutely we have a new climate political climate here in australia since the last election and with the new government has been in power for a little more than half a year you see. various measures taken against foreigners against immigrants against islam and zone support this is just

one more step. one more measure. and their policy plus hurdle thank you very much indeed interesting to talk to you thank you very much for making now the fraud record tearing and money laundering case against have africa's former president has now been adjourned until next month jacob zuma made a brief appearance in court in devon for a second time in as many months. it wasn't that long ago the judges reinstated sixteen charges against him their own links to a two and a half billion dollar european weapons deal in the one nine hundred ninety s. when zuma was deputy president toss a house a latest from the court and. it was a quick process at a loss of less than thirty minutes inside the court the states say that they are ready but the defense if they are not ready we heard that soon as lawyers want the charges with thought until the issue of who pays his legal fees is sorted out we're
