of kites with burning materials hanging from them being flown from the gaza strip into israeli territory and setting lights to thousands upon thousands of factors of farmland the coalition partners many people who live in the area on the israeli side have been calling for firmer action from the israelis despite the fact that already they've been talking about various technical resolutions some in the israeli government calling for targeted killings of those flying kites they have been launching air strikes against hamas targets that has been the main israeli government tactic up to now but now it seems they are trying this economic tactic and it is one which will have a major impact on the two million residents of gaza it is understood according to the palestinian side of the crossing down at the very southern end of the gaza strip it is understood that humanitarian goods will still be allowed to flow through so food livestock animal feed fuel cooking fuel and the like but

all industrial goods all commercial goods other than those will be stemmed and so we've spoken to the head of the gaza chambers of commerce and that he was saying that four hundred trucks a day come into that crossing that businesses and inside gaza will not just face the lack of the goods that they need to operate but also they're likely to be challenge for the storage of those goods on the other side of the border the rough across into egypt is open but only about thirty truckloads a day mostly of construction materials make it across from egypt into gaza so an economy which is already in the mire with unemployment above forty percent and every indicator heading downwards at a time when the international community is talking about trying to improve the humanitarian situation in gaza well the longer that this last the more that will get worse all right harry thanks for that very full with that live in western for them. we've got

a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including two journalists to be reporting on the refugee crisis and road to stand trial in myanmar. an historic visit as eritrea and ethiopia reestablish diplomatic ties after two decades of conflict. and how this french legend will go against his countryman in the last for the world cup peter will have the details in support. of britain's prime minister's been falsified a replacement for the man she put in charge of bracks it negotiations after his sudden resignation david davis announced his decision in a letter to theresa may in which he wrote that he couldn't abide by the government's current departure plan dominic rob who was the housing minister will take over the post the turmoil is another blow to mrs may who struggle to unite

factions within the governing conservative party over rex it well it's been a rocky road ever since a narrow majority of voters in the u.k. wed fifty two to forty eight percent opted for leaving the european union in a twenty sixteen referendum the following months to resume a became prime minister replacing david cameron who resigned in the wake of the leave result and in march of twenty seventeen after contentious debate britain's parliament empowered mrs may to trigger article fifty of the e.u. treaty. now this lays out the process of leaving within a two year window. in june last year treason may try to strengthen her hand in the breaks it negotiations holding a snap election that she thought she would easily win but the gamble backfired and her conservatives lost their majority leaving them to rely on

a party from northern ireland to govern. now as the departure deadline approaches many sticking points remain not least of which is britain's membership of the customs union and the e.u. single market and what will happen with the u.k. island border let's go live now to lawrence the correspondent who's at westminster the houses of parliament in central london and there's a listening of problems associated with this process as there was from the very start but how big a crisis is to resume a facing now given the departure of david daisy davis the man who she put in charge of the process. well it isn't it isn't just his departure he what what he represents effectively is the view of maybe fifty or sixty m.p.'s inside the conservative party and the view of a small number of m.p.'s of the labor party as well all of whom want to completely clean break with the european union on they say grounds of things they were

sovereignty and sort of thing but the thing that's broken down in the ruling conservative party here is this idea of what they call collective responsibility which is to say that even if you don't agree with the position that the government takes you accept it and you and you you know don't complain if you like and just get on with it because it's. in the national interest and you got to keep the party together and those are the things that has completely broken down now and then over the last few weeks what you've found members of the cabinets the inner parts of the government all briefing against each other and trying to do each other down and so it has completely fallen apart and she's lost control and so even if she carries on with this plan and it appears to be a plan that she wants to go with now that says we're going to a proposal that sentence with government paper going public on thursday which is approximately one quarter in the european union on the movement of goods across the borders and three quarters out so less immigration i think things like that are

going to present that to the your opinion next week and it becomes a start of a negotiating position which they hope will carry on through the summer and into the autumn it's obvious that even given that there is this pretty sizable group of m.p.'s inside her own party that wants her gone and some point will probably try to launch a leadership contest against her what's not clear is how and when they will do that to maximum effect in a very very difficult position there are they she has no faith or is it that group of m.p.'s is still in the minority and if there was a vote then they would probably lose but it just shows it's like trying to fly up. weigh in on one engine and the other engines on for us a bit like what it's like being governments are the moments you miss and so the plan the plan that david davis actually objected to and quit because of it is still in play and this is something that she is prepared to present to brussels . well yes she has to because the two previous plans that have been

rejected by the european union it all hinges on the thing you were saying about what happens on the irish border the movement of goods because that then becomes the land frontier with the european union this government up in knots trying to figure out a way of leaving the european union but not closing the border because you know logic says that if you leave and then you put a border up as a customs post they said they don't want to do that because he would endangered the good friday agreement and so now what she's saying is that you could leave the border open to allow for the movement of goods through its but at the same time they would leave all the european union things on issues to do with the movements of people as well which which is supposed to appease the hardliners who are worried about immigration it's a really difficult thing to sell not only to her own party which they see as a betrayal of the votes of the european union but also a very difficult sell to the european union because they would say well hang on you can't have one thing without the other if you want free movement is going to be of all everything at the same time and so they would be inclined to reject this plan

as well but what she's trying to do is appeal to everybody at once the people who want to leave in the people don't want to leave in the people who really really don't want to leave it just shows you the impossibility of that she's trying to bridge it but it's almost inevitably going to fail and ultimately when you get to the what you'll get is either completely out brick sets with her gone in a hard line and to european government instead or a complete failure to leave the european union probably the u.k. might end up staying in looks like in the fullness of time is to be one of the other than some sort of in the middle all right thanks. live at. the houses of parliament. in order. breaking the countries. where arrested in. the killing of. they have pleaded not guilty and say

police planted evidence on them florence looting reports. defiant and determined while lone and emerge from a court in yangon after pleading not guilty to illegally obtaining secret state documents when you're not invited to where we have whistleblower non human rights violations and corruption in russia and state by following journalism ethics because of that we face trial the two reuters journalists have been charged under myanmar's official secrets act they were arrested in december shortly after they were handed some documents by policeman who had asked to meet them the two reporters had been working on an investigation into the killing of ten muslims in rakhine state the military launched a crackdown there in august after revenge of fighters attacked some police posts more than seven hundred thousand revenge have since escaped to bangladesh amid

allegations of murder rape and acid attacks by security forces the defense lawyer had urged the judge to throw out the case arguing that journalists had been set up to block their reporting on rakhine state a police captain also told the court in a programme that a senior officer had ordered his subordinates to plant documents on wallowed to trap him. reuters president and editor in chief steven j. at that says the news organization is deeply disappointed with the ruling in a state when he said these reuters journalists were doing their jobs in an independent and impartial way and there are no facts or evidence to suggest that they've done anything wrong or broken any law the case is being viewed as a test for press freedom in this government is proving that they'll go to any length to sort of caution any independent or credible reporting of the conflict that's going on in rakhine state and we have to keep in mind this is the government of aung san suu kyi a nobel prize winner who at one time with was

a staunch defender of freedom of expression and now this government's overseeing ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity as well as a really remarkable crackdown on press freedom. for now it's back to prison for wallow and to await trial the case is a gent till next monday florence lee al-jazeera. ok we can speak to rage to our chief operating officer of reuters he's joining us out live from new york thanks for that and these are quite serious allegations that the court has put before your two correspondents how confident are you of their innocence. well you know i was steven adler editor in chief said you know there is really no evidence that shows that they've done anything wrong or broken any laws we have testimony from police captain captain that says they were set up we've had inconsistent

testimony from other prosecution witnesses so on the face of it and certainly following the line of evidence we think they should be freed we think the charges should never been laid to begin with but we certainly hope that the court will see reason after this trial and set the truth what sort of pressure is being brought to bear by reuters right is is a huge news gathering organization what sort of pressure are you bringing to the authorities in me m.r. in order to support and protect your employees well i mean we're taking care of our employees obviously on the ground in myanmar we're taking care of the families we you know where we're making sure that they're as well as can be under the circumstances and obviously we snatch a little bit of time with well into us you know whenever they come for a hearing we've got a great legal team on this and obviously we're very gratified for all the support locally and internationally from all the people who are coming out and calling for

their release. thank you very much indeed to interest life in new york thank you. you are from new york let's go live that's where angela merkel german chancellor is addressing the media with a visiting chinese premier league to try let's listen to what they're saying to myself i something as strategic and therefore have market access which is not as easy as it might appear but i also. was. hoping that there will be understanding we have new investments in china i was able to point out to that we also spoke about and number of other issues germany and china do not only have government called have station all ministers spoke about ten rouble projects of cooperation for instance in the areas such as hell or agricultural and in terms

of social systems which has gone very much in-depth now the core of course remains the economic cooperation but also economic. cooperation in terms of development projects in third countries we have an opening of the chinese financial market with more opportunities for investment which will also be something that german companies will want to make use of the finance ministers reported to us on that we have a close cooperation terms of research and intensively discussed if you will a vocational training in certain areas where china also has a certain need for qualified people which cannot just be supplied by universities but can be supplied by good locational training where of course germany has gathered some very good experience we also have seventy four months of dialogue and i asked in particular that we should have a good possibility for our so-called n.g.o.s to work which includes political

foundations german academic xchange but also all. faces of the many universities. the prime minister agree that within the laws these things will be managed very well we also spoke about other dialogue forums which are important for us human rights dialogue which will be which is to take place in the autumn where many important found fundamental points of the human rights will be discussed we have good opportunity soon to have a mutual legal assistance program and we will need the cyber dialogue because. this is not just the area of security where we have a great demand but also four point zero data exchange for companies where companies at the time in this era of the internet of things they need a closed access between germany and china for data transmission otherwise

industry four point zero will not come to a co-operative. solution so throw out these questions. down to the question of economic cooperation we had very fruitful intensive discussions and i believe that this will now also give us enough to work with to progress on a few weeks ago i was on an individual visit in china and now the prime minister has is here with a great number of. people from his government this shows that we can have an open. discussion of issues and questions and then also we'll have a dinner with spouses this evening a well filled day and again i would like to renew my well come to you.

on earth forty or so from the. from the media send the ladies and gentleman just now. it. thank you. the first for our. way were nice the fruits of the first four achievements from the past two decades. it's like ok. so are they so grim and send documents involves about thirty billion us dollars including i and d. technology an investment this is just that. these.

government consultation terms of the economy and shading. fruit fellow. we so white branch we. ask the top one your rank. in terms of all. areas just now the most. chancellor merkel mentioned that china is the economy so go a growing study and also to adjust the pricing of approach a protectionist germ li we can say that actually seize the opportunity of these. this afternoon just now about the german company buffalo signed up to a contract with their gone don't provincial council in terms of the cherry trading

just now we mentioned that since we signed up the contract then we have to make it happen as so these that's the first company. in that ground during times of these fields and just now we also win is the w. and the china out to mobile company. venture to establish a new factory that b.m.w. was ratio will be more than five percent so maybe after negotiations there will. it's over fifty percent and now it will and we'll get some more than seventy five percent this is another number number one and besides china are so. you. to germany to e.c.u. in china market the. debts deposit surely.

security stand insurance a future as well so allow the german company to. to set up in china market have a good market access. based on the survey you see the chinese premier league are trying their addressing the media on the first day of his visit to berlin and a little bit earlier angela merkel beside him also made some remarks from what you can generally get the sense of is this ever deepening relationship it would appear between germany and china on a trade basis this is something obviously happening with the backdrop of an ever changing global trading environment namely of course donald trump and his imposition of tyrus on a variety of products coming from china as well as from the e.u. and germany of course being the biggest economy from within europe so these two seem to be getting along just fine interestingly i thought that mrs merkel's

mention of there being a human rights dialogue due to start between germany and china some time in the near future i thought that was quite interesting traditionally of course very few of china's big trading partners are prepared to grapple with that thorny issue but it seems as of the merkel may try at least they are having a dinner this evening at dinner with spouses and as i say all in all it seems very much to say this is a very good natured very friendly encounter with both countries having a great deal in common common interests and they are basically trade. now let's look at the u.k. because there the counterterrorism police are saying that it's unclear so far as to whether the nerve agent that killed a british woman came from the same batch that struck down a russian double agent four months ago now this comes as the authorities confirmed

forty four year old dawn sturgis had died she was apparently handling an item contaminated with the substance novacek in the small town of amesbury and her partner who was with her at the time he is also critically ill the pair came into contact with the poison in a town that is eleven kilometers away from salzburg that is where the script files were attacked in march so in your game the latest from source from the death of dawn sturgis has raised the stakes in what is now a murder inquiry is the first death on british soil from such an event there more than one hundred counterterrorism police officers were working on this in the meantime dawn sturgiss partner charlie riley is still in critical condition at salzburg district hospital the intensity of the investigation has now they

believe that it is still related to the your original attack that occurred in the script powells back in march that it's not a renewed attack spree and the question is exactly how did charlie rally come into contact with such a dangerous compound in the meantime it's proven to be a real double whammy of bad news for the british prime minister who is not only looking at a political crisis but also one regarding security in this movie quiet corner of southwest england. now the river ports are an israeli attack on an airbase in syria's homs province which have hit before targeting what they say is a large iranian presence there state media says the country's military struck an israeli fighter jet and shot down six missiles as it defended the t. four base israel so far hasn't commented well elsewhere in syria rebels have confirmed that government forces are surrounded opposition held parts of daraa city

and that's in spite of a russian brokered cease fire which was agreed on friday for the whole province of durai the u.n. meanwhile is calling for unrestricted access to the southwestern province to deliver aid to tens of thousands of people it says a desperately in need the fighting has displaced more than three hundred thousand civilians in the past two weeks alone and that's the largest exodus of this seven year war but about seventy percent of province is now being recaptured by the government to do its allies including the main border crossing the jordan the nothe cib jobber crossing connex a trade route that runs all the way from turkey and lebanon down to the arabian peninsula but as smith reports on the impact it's reopening is expected to have on jordan struggling economy. five thousand trucks a month used to rumble across this border between jordan and syria then the civil

war started starving the jordanian economy of four hundred million dollars a year in trade the it really did that it's had a huge effect here with business from shipping people had jobs now they are sat at home when the border organs this area will flourish one and a half billion dollars worth of goods a year pass through this border before it closed now it's syrup governments across the region but especially in lebanon and syria and here in jordan on the border reopened again as soon as possible. jordan is desperate for revenue nationwide protests in early june forced the government to abandon tax rises and employment is over eighteen percent the highest it's been in twenty five years and there are more than six hundred fifty thousand syrian refugees living here we have meager resources the fact that the government is is almost bankrupt they cannot

invest more money in developing the infrastructure so the jordanians have to share their weak infrastructure with hundreds of thousands of refugees in the last four years six hundred eighty million dollars has been lost in transit fees alone from cargo heading north and south they have been. forced to go with by sea and that has. put major financial pressures on it because of the extra costs and not only the time he considerable extra time that it requires to transport these shipments and cargoes so once that is the zoomed and there is a recovery of that. you will see trading going. between the two countries. reopening the border also helps the syrian government rebuild its economy but further cements the return of bashar al assad's control over his

shattered country but it's myth out as era on the jordan syria border let's go to iraq now because it's a year since iraqi forces brought us all three year occupation of mosul to an end but iraq's second largest city remains in ruins and there's many on a hundredfold many living in the rubble feel that government and the world have abandoned them. oh many people only heard of the islamic state of iraq in the levant just four years ago that's when in two thousand and fourteen abu bakar al baghdadi stepped up to the pope put as most of those thousand year old grandson re musk and declared an islamic state covering huge swathes of iraq and syria four years later i still fight his blew the mosque up the last stand in mosul they defected capital as iraqi forces closed and it was in july last year that

iraqi prime minister haider on the body into mosul and declared victory over i still but the city he and his forces left behind was in ruins. more than ninety percent of western mosul's old city was destroyed in the nine month offensive by iraqi forces backed by the u.s. led coalition. it's been described as the most intense urban combat since world war two now. a year on the bodies of civilians and isis fighters still lie decomposing under the city of rubble it's littered with unexploded suicide belts hand grenades artillery and booby traps few structures a livable there are no basic services like running water electricity or medical care and little prospect of work that's yet the settlement of a shuffle optimism wherever you go there's awful destruction it's impossible to bring our families to such a place where the smell of death is still lingering. that's left an estimated seven

hundred thousand people displaced many living in camps or among the rubble a high proportion of them are children save the children says mosul's youngsters a haunted by constant fear and intense sorrow it warns of a new lost generation vulnerable to exploitation i still inflicted over three years of unimaginable horrors across the so-called caliphate and in the historic and until then religiously diverse city of mosul. reconstruction has yet to begin only thirty percent of the estimated eighty eight billion dollars needed to rebuild has been pledged meanwhile discontent of he is to be growing towards the government and the forces that came to liberate them but who now seem to have abandoned them made in the home and al-jazeera. are we can speak to kevin. c. save the children u.k.

and he's actually in mosul and is joining us from there via skype it's a pretty dire situation isn't a year after the defeat of eisel in iraq's second city that the rebuilding of the reconstruction in the city seems to be happening at a very very slow pace indeed. well you know it's impossible to describe the sheer scale of the destruction in west knows all there are neighborhoods that are resisting this morning which are literally piles of rubble and. eighteen months ago these were homes with children with families that have been decimated and of course before the attack on mosul the people of mosul were living under i saw rule for three years so children have been doubly traumatized by what they experienced during that period of vice of rule and what they experience in terms of the sheer horror of the year and the intensity of that attack on the city

and the smalling i was speaking to a young girl called diana who's twelve years old she fled the city before she fled the city she will she witnessed the aftermath of an attack in which many people were killed dark little girl is trying to rebuild her life she's she's been dealing with trauma with anxiety with stress and with a bit of hole and support she is starting to bounce back but the problem is the international community it's not just that they're not reconstructing the buildings they're doing even less to enable children to reconstruct their lives and what exactly would be needed in order to help these kids because clearly there are all these kids that you've been seeing in mosul but this is a region isn't it which unfortunately is bedevilled by conflict there are many many children in this part of the world who are the survivors of conflict how much can you realistically expect therefore to be funneled to the children of mosul. well i

think in terms of being realistic the realistic starting point is to listen to the children themselves about what they need to rebuild their lives i've been struck by the sheer heroism and the human spirit of the children who have been through as you've already described absolutely appalling levels and by. dealing with grief every child you speak to is lost a brother or sister or mother or a father now we as the international community turn our back on these children or we step up to the plate and find ways faulting them and enabling them to rebuild in save the children we are running centers that is linking these children to trained community care workers people who can help them deal with the trauma that they've been through who can speak to them who can help them flee and rebuild their lives and come to terms with their experiences through reading through play and through communicating with other children but there's

a very big growth in the international response here there's a lot of focus on rebuilding the physical infrastructure of the city and that needs to happen and not enough is being done you've already said but the the really hard work is starting to support at least children to rebuild their futures has yet to begin all right kevin what tens of save the children u.k. thank you very much indeed. and probably going to turkey now where better type everyone is being sworn in as president for a second time with greatly increased powers the ceremonies currently taking place in the capital ankara from where we are joined by saying them and. so this is now the start of this isn't it officially of the new executive presidency in turkey which gives rather tired edda one sweeping new powers and abolishes the past a prime minister. exactly martin now

president are done is at the turkish assembly turkish file.
