defending world cup champions league late to keep their hopes alive at the top of the. welcome to the news are zimbabwe's president has survived an apparent grenade attack at a campaign rally ahead of next month's election and. call the attempt a cowardly attack and said it would not influence the upcoming vote the bomb was thrown at the zimbabwe and leader as he walked on stage with others zanu p.f. party officials in the city of bell away oh well been hurt one of his vice presidents and another minister were injured there has been no claim of responsibility but i got says the attack was one of many assassination attempts that he survived.

this is just. jobs six. hundred thousand has more from johannesburg right now on social media people talking about how safe is it to attend these rallies what if there's another attack so people are concerned about that of course they're also asking who could have been behind this could it be a specific individual is it a group of people are these attacks like it increase as we head up to those elections so far the campaign has been relatively peaceful so people are quite surprised as actually happened they also surprised how this individual managed to get so close to the president and throw that grenade so a lot of uncertainty right now but again the president telling the bobbins keep calm the security forces have things under control people much is prepared for these elections which he is will happen at the end of july let's speak now. in london via skype she's an assistant professor who specializes in zimbabwe and

politics and college could have you with us live on al-jazeera situations very unclear as to who might be behind the attack but let's just start with such a blatant assault on the president of the herd of garbage time. so this is a festering boy zimbabwe just did zimbabwe has made many best in the last few months i think we read we need it because you know we are made of equal attempts are made in the. accidents and brazenly in reach it's and innocent now with my last year ads in rally imagine billion with it's definitely the best kind of scene and of bait and tackle on the life of the president in the one on a long and any on people can use it was employed and you know i'm sure again just showing how new these scenes to there's a modern situation i mean in terms of suspects is it too early to start pointing

the finger can you suggest what line of questioning investigators might be taking. from what i've read and you know this is the challenge for them are we in an election where social media is playing a huge role here really speculations that are lying around social media and that isn't a challenge or investigation but i think these are long line are possibilities or we could have an ax the president. based on what we have to think about the ins and the idea that when every disagreement with the between the different factions of the senate and in november is a policy it's you that's the essence element that has to describe what we might think of that absent in by weeks of this and so that's you know that's something to think about his face you make it personal how he knows that to happen to the president this wouldn't be and i didn't any citizen who doesn't know

a lot of of this breach of nations around the president so that's something to think about but these are all still opportunists. taking app and especially in a situation we just had a pool we have a lot of people that may just be taking advantage of the situation and might want to see the election i.d. destructed well let me let you know so i don't mean to drop you let's let's put that to one side then deal with the election is what just a few weeks time at the end of july i mean how have been received as the new president in the time that he's had to settle in to the seat by zanu p.f. a really the public at large. i think most importantly it's a great feeling that the person with me along the present that sees these needs to be actually especially since i'm me there's a lot grows out of your actions of the excite that they see him as sort of the

second coming those and you know it will be a significant change to there's a nominee i mean people in the opposition ask it will they don't think that the opposition or it has a name that in particular would bring the kind of change that she expects and she seems unlikely but generally i would say that most people and just we need that the button to me is not president anymore and it wasn't because i was easy especially around the timing may have made him a little bit more favorable and then creating this ocean see what does happen certainly in the coming days for the moment to put in dara in london but so much for joining us thank you for everything at least one person has been killed and more than one hundred injured in a grenade attack at a political rally in the capital addis ababa prime minister abbott has been know how to just finish addressing supporters when a grenade was thrown towards a stage called the attack an attempt to divide the nation victoria gave be how small. this was the moment the grenade exploded close to where prime minister abby

asked might was sitting. for a few moments there was confusion the four members of the security forces came onto the stage and led the atma to safety. witnesses say they saw the man who targeted the prime minister there's a prime minister we're just concluded his speech and that moment there was a grenade. but i think the guy was just trying to stroll the stage. beside him just took him. just went off and on sunday it was a bloody end to a day that is started with say much optimism hundreds of thousands of ethiopians had gathered in the capital addis ababa mescal square to support the new prime minister since taking office in april the forty two year old has announced a series of reforms including the release of tens of thousands of prisoners the

opening of state owned companies to private investment and to propose peace deal with eritrea in an address to the nation after the attack be said that those trying to divide ethiopia would not succeed in your my fellow why not but that i'm not certain groups planned and coordinated to destroy this large gathering to kill innocent people and to spill blood on our streets they have tried very hard but their entire plot has failed the questions are being raised about whether the security operation for such a large rally was adequate some of the officers have been saying that this is an attempt on the life of the prime minister and the definitely the supporting the rally was a great demonstration that there is a solid support for the reformist by the prime minister but at the same time the the great attack have revealed that the reforms are still fragile prime minister

andy richardson at the world cup in russia where fans are getting used to the idea that referees are also watching the action on the big screen. iraqi prime minister batty and cleric looked rather old souther have announced their political blocs are entering into an alliance now the leaders say their partnership will cross sectarian and ethnic divisions so the party won the largest number of seats in last month's election while a body's victory alliance came first both leaders say they're open to the remaining parties to join them ishmael danny is a retired iraqi brigadier general and former iraqi defense attorney to the united states joins me via skype from manassas in virginia good to have you with us on the

program how significant is the coalition considering the sort of the rising star of my dad or is influencing you might see a new door in iraqi politics well you know. so there are his blocks i wrote on the actions that we didn't give him the unity to form the government because he is not winning the major risk problem and therefore he has to get together with partners. of the government he has to. secure one sixty six seats in the parliament and this move. you know like expected to bring the prime minister a lot of the problem to set up by the also working to secure second term. as well as you know the other parties who are already. joined college and how important

how important is it. of leaders which include mary who came second in the vote will secure a coalition that the public in iraq will have some cold footed said they've seen coalition governments that haven't really worked before. one you know this is part of the political dynamics and political dynamic is always you know looking after the interest for the public i think public has this a trusted all these political contests in iraq to make any change because you know the public is accusing the public and the political with math and political figures of accusing this chaos and iraq since two thousand and three how significant for the political significance yes but at the same time everybody is looking forward to seeing a government there will be as they say it cross-check

a theory which i doubt they have you know the willingness to cross the security you know or ethnic. groups in iraq to form this government the question will be you know since they have adopting the no secretary and distribution of. the government but. not willing won't be happening if that's the case you know of see the public are very concerned about the sectarian issues the insecurity the corruption that's dogged iraq since two thousand and three but if you get the critical opposition now in government who is the legitimate voice of the opposition if there is one at all. this is this is one of the concerns. because since two thousand and three until there were no political positive for the government all that unity government has in the past government no one is

representing the politicians people or the political parties are crisis the thing is the government and the same time they are presenting the opposition to the government which is really making a very critical. points to the political part for much of any government that's why. the government has failed to deliver their. aims their purposes their objectives because they could then. a strong government that would be able to provide the security to the corruption to fight the armament of the groups who are you know controlling on the streets eyes and arms. are. taken part again. there are many crisis are awaiting for the government which

i doubt that this coming government could overcome the challenges but we shall see what they do get up to how successful they are in the coming. today many thanks for joining us from virginia that the u.s. likes thank you very much now they are careful says it's killed forty five i feel fine to send a strike across the border in syria targets for three houses in the town of hygiene isolate is said to be meeting wrong to several high ranking figures amongst the dance. well staying in the region dozens of yemenis are fleeing fighting in the western port city of data most of them heading to saddam for safety the saudi led coalition has been bombing the area for ten days now as it continues to fight the rebels rights groups have said the fighting is obstructing aid from reaching civilians who are in desperate need. we've been in saudi arabia are now officially

allowed to drive for the first time this video is from well just a few hours ago when the ban was lifted at midnight local time some sidey when you simulators to take lessons in advance all of the law change the decision is expected to boost the economy with a rise in consols poverty immigration and racism these are just some of the social issues that dominated a mass demonstration in washington d.c. the protest is part of a larger movement that has its roots in the civil rights era of a half a century ago as rob reynolds explains gathering before the u.s. capital a diverse group of thousands rallied under the banner of the poor people's campaign calling for a moral revival the united states the rally featured impassioned speakers songs demanding justice and prayers from clergy of many religions including a sacred song by native americans from the apache tron.

barber of north carolina is one of the main organizers of the campaign. this is revolution bring this mike up because we intend to get loud and draw a crowd. the campaigners demand living wages for workers universal health care and an end to institutionalized racism police violence and mass incarceration more funding for schools and social programs and less for the military and end to environmental destruction there are about forty million people living in poverty in the united states according to official statistics from the u.s. census bureau but some researcher say the number is much higher as high as one hundred and forty million whatever the true number for the people who gathered here it's far too many and i think that the poor people's campaign something particularly radical in calling out systemic poverty as an evil and evil that the

united states can very easily quell. the campaign is modeled on a similar movement that began fifty years ago by reverend martin luther king jr before his assassination in april one thousand nine hundred sixty eight that summer tens of thousands marched and set up a sprawling camp on the national mall called resurrection city civil rights leader jesse jackson was there the king's we must choose a healing at home and not killing abroad protester said the forced separation of migrant families by the trump administration shows the country's leadership is morally blind it's not just jump it's been like this since he founded this country . the immigration issue is particularly acute now campaign organizers say they are only beginning their fight they plan a major drive to get poor people and their supporters to the polls in the november elections to vote for a profound change in u.s. society rob reynolds al-jazeera washington. now the father of

a young migrant girl photographed crying on the us mexico border believes the picture has affected president donald trump's immigration policy the widely shared photograph of the distraught honduran girl who has become a symbol of the trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy although she was not separated from her mother the border the picture drew international attention to the issue. i honestly don't book it but i mean in your book and i think my daughter situation will touch someone's heart yes maybe the president of the united states or the migration authorities there someone has to help my daughter but her picture was published in the united states and so the route from migrants has now changed. gabriel as old as our correspondent joins me now in brownsville texas is outside what the government call a center for tender age children for infants two years old and the situation gave continues to be quite confusing really know if you've spoken to some human rights

lawyers what are they telling you. yeah we did speak to some human rights lawyers actually from washington d.c. and they flew all the way out here to texas to go visit one of the. homeland security detention centers that we were at as well journalists can't get inside there but lawyers can if they have meetings with meetings with folks in there so it was really interesting perspective they basically had that they said that out of all of the migrants that they met with inside this detention center they said all of them had children that had been separated from them and none of them yet had been reunited that gives you an idea of how bad the situation is this is also they said that the detention center held holds over one thousand people and it was that absolute capacity that gives you a sense of just how much this crisis is growing here and it's really multiple different government agencies that are all trying to handle this from the border

patrol to the department of health and human services that runs this huge shelter you see behind me as well as department of homeland security so the view we've got at least from these lawyers that went in this detention center was not very good they said the conditions were ok but a lot of parents in there are still asking where their children are and sounds pretty good bill and you just mentioned the department of health and human services the pony they've set up a tough false trying to reunite these families we know it was going to be difficult times that's what all the politicians have been saying in the united states i mean what do you know about how well this is progressing. well in short not very well and that's because you can tell that just three days after president trump's executive order indian child separation at the border there is still this massive problem and challenge with really. human drama playing out of how to really reconnect the children that have already been separated from their

parents now the department of health and human services runs the shelters like this one behind me that has thousands of children that have been separated they've just started this task force to try to bring all of the different government agencies together to figure out how they're going to do this reunification process and it's clearly not going well and if there is a clear plan it certainly has not been articulated to anybody at least not publicly and at least what we're seeing here on the ground and what we heard from these lawyers and what we're seeing everywhere else is that there just is not any indication of any significant reunification happening again we're outside this shelter and actually it's a little different when you said that the shelter for. infant children is actually down the street were there earlier this one is actually for boys there are hundreds of migrant children boys in this shelter and we've seen no sort of reunification at all happening here no buses coming up to pick up any of the kids nothing at all

that we've been here for several hours now so listen this is a very difficult process and quite frankly it's just not going very well and the longer this goes on all say there's a real sense that perhaps there there could be more difficulties reuniting families with their loved ones and their children in school so we'll continue to build on the situation with you and all teams across the u.s. for the moment thanks for joining us. well staying in the americas for the moment a french teenager who accidentally crossed from canada into the u.s. while jogging has been released after two weeks in detention cell or over and strayed across the border while on a beach on canada's pacific coast now despite protesting her innocence she was apprehended and taken to a detention center two hundred kilometers south of the border robyn described the ordeal as the fright of her life and has now been banned from entering the u.s. . germany have revived hopes of successfully defending the football world

sent off late in the game but it was still timed deep into injury time for them rail madrid midfielder tony tries to smash i'm a free kick and completely change their world cup outlook that see one win means they'll go into the final round of group games level on points with sweden sweden will play mexico while germany will take on south korea if lost by thank games so far now this is a notoriously difficult title to defend successfully the last team to achieve it brazil back in one thousand nine hundred sixty two but perhaps germany will look at slightly more recent history for some inspiration in twenty ten spain lost their opening game but still went on to lift the trophy. as still quite a lot to go here but top of germany's group still mexico there's also plenty of singing and sombreros there from their supporters they defeated south korea to walk . to make it two wins from as many matches that the team got with action from those

matches plus five star performers from belgium later in spalls but still ahead here on out to sara. two years on from britain's decision to leave the e.u. tens of thousands marched through london to demand another vote. and the crude prices and oil trade in the u.s. derail spending it slowed through farmland. and it's borussia federal edges towards title number ninety nine some are some of the details they transport. welcome to look at the weather across the americas though in north america is a pretty unsettled picture actually for many central and eastern areas we will probably conditions in d.c. their highs of thirty new york should be dry for much of the time and temperatures

in the upper twenty's a few showers around the florida peninsula otherwise parts the west seeing some heavy rain and the risk of some storms there for denver colorado but out across more western areas it's looking fine twenty degrees around san francisco and los angeles look at my some of twenty five in the frontal system bringing some rain into the pacific northwest heading down into central america here we've got a few showers for panama costa rica nick your i.q. but generally weather conditions not looking too bad although i'm a sicko city may see the odd shower during the day as the islands of the caribbean weather conditions here but mix of the moment for a few showers rome but again in between those showers you're going to see some decent spells of sunshine some heavy showers likely across venezuela through columbia and towards ecuador but as you come further south is largely dry picture across much of south america there we have got a line of showers beginning to develop through peru and down into bolivia also this area of rain just a face in the far south of brazil maybe getting into parts of europe quite to

chilly conditions in buenos aires but it should get a bit warmer on monday. again i stand as the last geology of both mentally resources and i refer to why are they so poor the measure you guys would finally form a government. of the toxic land essentially now where the more we lead close down the more they push back we knew it was coming the question was do we sit back and wait or do we surprise them with a preemptive strike taliban. and al jazeera. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave the room just to be on when people need to behead women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the award winning

permission from italian authorities to dock at one of its ports calm weather this week has encouraged migrants to try and make the journey. well french president maduro blackwall says he favors financial sanctions on european countries that refused to take migrants with proven asylum status michael how the working lunch with the new spanish prime minister pedro sanchez in paris is the stylishly first official trip abroad since taking office three weeks ago their meeting comes ahead of a divergence the summit between sixteen year leaders on sunday to address recent tensions over migration policies through. us just about the system of sanction mechanisms which could be implemented in cases of non solidarity it's a debate we will have within a framework of financial possibilities i am for myself in favor of having mechanisms that indeed take this into account we can't have countries that massively benefit from the solidarity of the european union and that massively voice their national selfishness when it comes to migrant issues. natasha butler

has both powers. well the main message from these two leaders in paris was that the european union simply has to have a coordinated strategy when it comes to migration it has to be united now the french president emanuel macro praised the new socialist prime minister pedro such as from spain saying that he had showed a gesture of solidarity when he decided to open up their doors in spain to the aquarius migrants and refugees those who were rescued by that charity ship or blocked by italy matt cross said it was indeed an important gesture but the migration cannot be solved in that way on a case to case basis what is needed is a much wider plan now both pedro sanchez and of my own michael will be at a mini migration summit in brussels on sunday and this meeting in paris is really an opportunity for these two leaders to get to know each other the first time they met and also discussed some of the strategies which may be talked about at the

summit on sunday later in the week at the main you summit there is no doubt they are on the same page or they believe new solutions must be found they also both pro e.u. young dynamic leaders who really want more e.u. integration and what that means for them is that there must be solutions found to the migration crisis because they see the divisions that it is causing and they worry that that could threaten the future of the european union the future of the bloc in fact in model mark or even said that we could see a wave of populism and nationalism unless something is done well as europe's leaders proposed for sunday's meeting many of the refugees and migrants trying to make their way across the continent or losing hope lawrence lee reports from the greece of macedonia border where people who have travelled from turkey found themselves at a dead end. dogs live better than this stinking piles of

rubbish the air thick with mosquitoes they're mostly afghans and they know full well the not even germany will take them in nowadays their war has been deemed less importance than a syrian woman so they're stuck with people going to stay here but the system is too slow i.e. trying to move rules even to move no one to stay here do you hear but there's no camp that are going to go this day they're going to go this one year some have lived in a half built car park nearly a year so cornered mohammed had arrived the day we turned up he thinks he would like to risk the crossing through albania which thousands have already tried this year but how to afford it you have money for this or not i have one month in one year or even now one euro yes. as banished if you want in person just ahead no one money is the northern pass to greece from turkey over the wide river the route revealed by al-jazeera several months ago that is causing this new

humanitarian crisis everyone we spoke to would come this way and the total lack of hope in greece is forcing them to consider any route out if you have any money you can get a bus from thessaloniki to a port and try your luck on a boat to italy but most don't have the luxury of this option until a couple of years ago either many was full of tents and journalists before the so-called balkan routes was closed by macedonia the media's all gone now but we'd been told dozens was still attempting this route every day and so it proved we found them a shepherd's track in a forest right on the border all of them pakistanis many of them teenagers where do you go do you know. macedonia serbia and to germany this way. trying to do what hundreds of thousands managed a few years ago but europe isn't the same anymore according to the united nations

there are now getting on for ten thousand more refugees and migrants in greece than the were when this border was basically a refugee camp two or three years ago and frankly these people have got absolutely no chance of getting asylum in any western european country if anything germany's likely to tell greece to take more and more people back this place has become a complete trap and surprisingly the new waves of refugees coinciding with the new hostile european environments make local officials nervous either making it less bigoted then there are many happened because they wanted to fulfill their dreams and go to europe and all the things that were done traps that. phrase but we hope there will never again be an informal camp of refugees and migrants. for the refugees living rough in greece there is not even war so let alone hope they may as well pray because no country in europe will help them now largely al-jazeera

million people in our country should have a vote on the final deal the protests is part of what's being called a summit of action to put pressure on britain's leaders two years after the u.k. surprizes cision to leave the e.u. britain is still an odds of the countries who lation ship with europe the countries from the big three divide in the fray those divisions have healed of the reason for that i think is that since the referendum we lost the referendum was a factor but since that series of mayors governed as if all of these people kind of don't exist so what this is about is basically saying that we have to at least hold open the option that would just come up with a deal for the people who are to say yeah that's what we voted for is perhaps unsurprising here in london a city that voted overwhelmingly to remain part of the e.u. that there are such crowds at this demonstration but what is surprising is that two years after the referendum a year after crucial negotiations began between the e.u.

and the u.k. there is still so much and. so much confusion public opinions remain largely stable since the referendum despite increasing pessimism from business is about what breaks it will mean for them this week the airplane modify. said that it would have to pull out of the u.k. if the government fails as a cure a post breaks a trade deal putting thousands of jobs at risk. the u.k. faces a fifty billion dollar divorce bill for leaving the e.u. complications over its border with the member island and the us president he might not be as welcoming about british trade as first thought. the world's change since britain backed only another vote say these people can correct past mistakes. london. a former vatican diplomat has been sentenced to five years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography while senior carlo capella admitted
