speaking after their summit in finland cost out of his own intelligence agencies which found evidence of interference or reaction to the summit in moscow those glowing foreign secretary foreign minister sergei lavrov described it as better than super russian media have praised a meeting. with putin against opposition from what it calls the u.s. and the. u.k. based investigative agency has obtained documents revealing an expensive lobbying effort by the u.a.e. and version and the u.s. the campaign tried to influence media coverage of the arab spring and discredit the muslim brotherhood and. israel is tightening its siege on almost two million people living in gaza by further restricting the flow of goods into the territory it's planning to ban all fuel imports through the obvious l.-m. crossing while food and medicine will need permission to go through. as the sole

commercial crossing into gaza it is vital for the flow of fuel necessary for people who only get up to six hours of electricity a day but it's get more phone calls on and stephanie decker she is following this from west jerusalem so why is stephanie israel imposing even more restrictions on gaza which is already under siege and what impact these further restrictions are going to have. well this is all about israel putting pressure on hamas to stop the incendiary some but losers have been crossing the border and burning thousands of acres of agricultural land on the israeli side now this started really as part of these right of return protests going on for almost over two months now and they've called incredible damage and it's also put these ready prime minister under huge pressure to do more so yes we have the ceasefire because we had this huge escalation on saturday between the two sides hamas and

israel however these really government and the military made it very clear that the that stopping the kites in the blue is not part of that cease fire so this is something that is ongoing this is pushing him out squeezing hamas even further to try and get them to stop hamas has said to is you're on the last couple of days that it will take time it will take a few days so you're seeing this sort of back and forth elizabeth at the moment the cease fire is holding it is fragile anything can really happen things are very difficult to predict when it comes to this conflict also down the line a bigger issue to address is the humanitarian situation as you mentioned the fact that now no fuel will be going and no cooking gas is while will be going and also the fishermen of gaza now can only go on three nautical miles not six which was the initial restriction this is a huge cut so you know aid agencies palestinians will tell you this is collective punishment israel's hoping that this will force how mass to stop what how mass

wants is some part of the let up on the blockade even the israeli intelligence services and the minute you've been warning for a very long time now that the blockade is not sustainable if the suffocation of gaza's people continues as it is now it could lead to an all out conflict so a lot of things to talk about to sort of compromise on both sides but at the moment certainly the suffocating of the border crossing even worse so we're going to have to wait and see how hamas respond. so thank you very much for that for now that stephanie dechen live in west jerusalem. to iraq now where protests are spreading to more cities despite the government announcing plans to fix services and create jobs at least eight people have been killed in the violence allow a protest as a threatening to disrupt oil production as a solid binge of a the reports. that they want to make tricity clean water and jobs. protesters have continued to congregate in southern iraq for

a second week these people say police stopped them from setting up a protest camp at the bus for governor office it was not guarded at the moment that we were sitting peacefully and along convoy from the army and golden division stormed our tent we said we are peaceful protesters and not terrorists they said you have to remove your tent or you will be arrested and i want to move off we are strong we are acting on our own free will we are not picking from a leaky buddy we are simply raising own demands. on sunday the protest spread to many sudden provinces including within as some of our city. at least two people were killed and dozens injured including security personnel watch it and it's about adequate security forces response was excessive it was disproportionate to peace for protest angry protests as many a bad was but live ammunition was fired at protesters. some of green attacking offices of major political parties but bus rides main port and the airport in niger have reopened another at york of general and if we disrupt oil production everyone

will run to us including the us and respond to our demands do not push us to the limits so far we are peacefully demonstrating in these protests are merely a warning and without it. we have the residence of pastor and not infiltrators we're simply raising our demands which are clean water electricity basic services and jobs are peaceful protests are met with bullets. iraq senior cleric has supported the demonstrators grand ayatollah sistani. he says people face an extreme lack of service is. the leading contender to form the new government after a contested election this year has sent a delegation to basra people to protect public property. prime minister has tried to offer ten thousand jobs in basra and pledged three billion dollars for education health water and other public areas but so far it's failed to convince people who say they don't trust any of the politicians some of the job it is there. the

european union and japan a signing a free trade deal that will and then elimination of the old tariffs presenting a united front as the trumpet ministration put stop trying barry is it is a his biggest deal to date a creationist trading song covering six hundred million people and maybe a third of the global economy well let's bring in al-jazeera savvy salama he is joining us live from tokyo and particularly important for japan fadi and at this time. exactly yeah this meeting is that it's going to summit meeting between. the e.u. so this is nothing new but it will meet. i've been rebelling for many years but we have been in the last few years. i have speak to you that maybe it's your call it the meetings between bonds but i guess that since

i began your leaders actually this agreement should have been signed because of the flooding. that was stationed in south and west of japan this is why they. signed the agreement to withhold your. organs of this agreement that comes out the time when japan is facing so many rivals so many challenges in indonesia and it wants to show that it is one of the visionary leaders in this. these partnerships. and go forth and point one is that it is going to make side. as they pride that it is good and they wanted to show their strong when giving free trade waving in this area and all but of the political importance is that it comes at the thought i was china having some kind of power of war between them so this is very important for japan and concluding the disagreement will give it more access to e.u.

market. force that is also important because it comes up at a time where the president i think it's like you describe both while japan is looking out the part of a long time but as a thank you very much for that for now that is fatty salaamed live in tokyo thank you. senior members of northern ireland's republican movement had been trying to calm the community following several days of rioting and violence included an attack on the heart of the formation saying leader gerry adams dissidents and signed the republican movement to being blamed on slave appoints from belfast. keeping a lid on violence in old non it is always virtually impossible but here with the republican leadership calling for calm not between the two traditional sides in the conflict but inside its own community the points of the rally was an attempt by irish nationalists to prove they can police themselves against the rising tide of

anger in fact so why not come along as they've been standing in solidarity and testimony to the good here about hans some always means trouble but this wasn't fighting between irish republicans and pro british loyalists in the city republicans called derry hardcore elements sent children out to throw stones at the police apparently in the hope someone might get shot they're accused of wanting to bring down the peace process by their own site and restart the armed struggle but also explains the attempted attack on the home of jerry i. the full mission fein leader who brokered the peace process a powerful firework more an insult but a genuine attempt on his life irish republicans are prepared to hear any interest but none the less of the time of such political uncertainty in the province the last thing they need going to people who knows the facts understand. thank you jane. that we will

prevail. that we win over. and that we will not be denied our you know your community sees that magic words were you know you. isolated may be an act in the heat of summer they hope so the backdrop of course all of this is a gigantic power vacuum in northern irish politics with no functioning local government for eighteen months and the british administration still in terrible trouble over breakfast which could still lead to the emergence of a whole boarder in the islands it is assumed that the people who touched gerry adams and set the riots might want to hold border as well as a sort of partition in the still divided islands. in the end this was a display of shielding gerry adams personally from harm as well as portraying him as a man both the peace and of the people the picture is aimed squarely at the republican community it has proved over the course of years its ability to move away from

violence it seems it is now being goaded not by a traditional enemy the british but a section of. belfast. the official campaign for brics that in two thousand and sixteen has been fined eighteen thousand dollars for breaking spending rules electoral officials say vocally worked with another campaign without declaring as the organization says there's no evidence it did anything wrong and described the allegations as politically motivated. now twenty years ago the international criminal court was set up to bring justice for victims of some of the world's worst atrocities a ceremony is taking place at the hague to mark the anniversary high ranking judicial as and political figures from around the world to do to discuss the court's work and its future it has been responsible for prosecuting war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity but there are questions about. how successful it has been. a video

has emerged of the moment a tourist boat was hit by flying lover in hawaii the visitors travel to sea level plunging into the ocean from the killer way a volcano on the big island at least twenty three people were injured when the molten rocks rained down puncturing the boat's roof. oh again ominous of a problem and the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. president are trump has arrived home to severe criticism after siding with the russian president vladimir putin election meddling speaking after this summit in finland trying cast doubt on his own intelligence agencies which found evidence of interference the former cia director john brennan called the news conference treasonous but reaction to the summit in moscow is glowing a russian foreign minister sergey lavrov described it as a better than super russian media have praised for me saying what putin despite

opposition from what it calls the us elite challenge has more from moscow. the state t.v. channels except the reaction has been a bit more muted because i think lots of people who are noticing the lack of detail that was talked about in the press conference between the two leaders this was something that was about kind of emotion about. but not really about the nitty gritty and of course donald trump made it as much about domestic politics as anything else. a u.k. based investigative agency has obtained documents revealing an expensive lobbying effort by the u.a.e. in britain and the us the campaign tried to influence media coverage of the arab spring and discredit the muslim brotherhood and. israel is planning to ban fuel imports through the only commercial crossing into the besieged gaza strip food and

medicine will need permission to go through the cut him of a celeb crossing israel says the decision as a response to hostility from a mass funerals have been held for some of the eight people killed in antigovernment protests across southern iraq people are demanding better access to basic services and jobs the european union and japan are signing a free trade deal that will eliminate nearly all terrorists they're presenting a united front as the trumpet ministration puts up the trade barriers that is the deal to date creating a trading zone covering six hundred million people but those are the headlines on al-jazeera do stay with us the stream is coming up next thank you for watching. in the wrong waste inefficiency the growing population has led to. try to extract water from any source possible this is what you see as

a result of the country's future it's. to try to change and effective solution to being from. people in power in best. the wrong small to crisis on al-jazeera. hi anthony ok and you are in the strain today where talking and singing so come you think if you're not familiar with the unique blend of indian and african rhythms that's the making ways around the world you're in for a treat i'm really could be a lot of our guests today is so royalty trey gowdy and singer and songwriter and i love black men as always i'll be looking out for your comments live on you tube so send them my way and we've already heard from numerous soca fans from around the world sharing some of their favorite lyrics from my last song take a look. all. he does all of.

these gadgets. and there it is down the narrative watching what he come from a vendor should go to the greenies see that. the. c word. with. the boom boom frank. give it to me and our work i'll give it to me and out oh give it to me and our how to give it to me and at. mount bangor. maine puter voice you will get a hearing on my life and i know. but first what you were singing yes. little clips were singing that was soca music yes if people were just listening right now thinking what is that what would you say i would say this is the blind

east indian and african rhythm and this is trimble yes there's so much more to it than just splendid and fusion we have more of music that does that as a world but there's a particular story to how this happened here family is part of that story definitely very instrumental my grandfather's in the russia also known as lord george z. and he was the one that started so commune sick interim of that and in the caribbean before there was so there was calypso and he felt like there was a divide between the east indian and the africans living in trinidad and he wanted a music for them to be one so that we would no longer be indian africa who would be . big own urine and i was really how the thoughts about it started you know i mean he was part of. his mom was our dog our which is

a mixture between indian an african and he had his grandfather was an indian man but he was seen as a black boy so growing up in east indian village he faced a lot of racial discrimination because of his column because of what he looked like but he was part indian saw he always wanted to connect the two so that there wouldn't be this divide anymore. after so many years of experiments and with music as he was a calypsonian first he decided that he was going to me. and that's where it's that it is resonating and has resonated so we got tweets about people's appreciation for the music and of course also for the history of how. came to be this is true now who is picking up on that idea of uniting groups of people she says i think soccer is the dance hall of calypso i believe was created to be a band-aid to the knife wound of racial tension and racism it is usually sufficient

for the duration of the songs or season but that's about as effective as it gets so you know she seems to like the idea of it healing racial tensions she says it's a certain part of the year that happens would you think and so would you agree i definitely do agree because i believe that we always like to have the idea of being united and we definitely are our own carnival time we have this festival mention the island caribbean called carnival it started in. and that's really where people feel because so-called drives carnivals is what made.
