help lower unemployment and demand of government spending which leaves in most cases to an increase in poverty levels. the essence of the i.m.f. is the same it is to prioritize the physical deficit. it's the same old i.m.f. with a change in discourse look at what's happening in other parts of the world like jordan . and that's why many here are distrustful of occurring government's economic policies because they believe it will only deteriorate the lives of those who need government help the most. well philippine president roderigo the target is expected to sign a new law that could end a forty year war for independence it would give the muslim minority on the island of mindanao their own regional government mindanao is home to the moro islamic liberation front the coughing there has killed more than one hundred thousand

and this is al jazeera live from also coming up leaving syria at night through the occupied golan heights around four hundred members of the y. the helmets and their families fled to jordan. a standoff. is over thousands of jewish settlers enter the holy sites in occupied east jerusalem. and we look at the political choices on offer as voters prepare for pakistan's general election. there's been an explosion outside cobbles airport shortly after the return of an exiled afghan vice president. at least twelve people have been killed the bomb went off near where the press gathered for the rival. general left last year after being accused of sexual abuse and torture against

a political rival. is on the phone from kabul so masood first of all any update on the status of them himself. well. the blast blast targeted the convoy of a side. general rashid dostum right up on his return outside the kabul airport to the white president can by attacks but at least twelve people killed including dozens of others were injured in this incident eyewitnesses there were there was one man one any more security people in this attack killed. he didn't say anything about this attack. no one confirmed this attack that's going to rise but just to clarify why the several people are reported dead we'd have no confirmation on the status of general dostum himself who won the sumant is probably

the target of this attack yes no one and no one wants confirm. it all and explain about this even the local t.v. isn't. anything about this. and what we know so far about that attack in the cobbles and hold shortly after the arrival of the vice president bringing more details on that and to get them and that explosion of course we assume targeted the arrival of the rashid dostum he left the country last year following allegations of rape against a political rival he was welcome back to kabul despite an ongoing criminal investigation shelob s. reports. the second most powerful man in afghanistan is back in kabul vice president general abdul rashid dostum had been living in exile in turkey for the

last fourteen months he was allowed to come back after his supporters protested demanding his return. general dostum left because of this man ahmed ishi a northern elder who accused him and his guards of kidnapping and rape well. ordered his commander to rape me nine other bodyguards he told them to rape me until the ground is covered with blood and take a photograph but dostum refused to come in for questioning president ashraf ghani then persuaded turkey's president reject over one to take him in it's not the first time dostum spin excelled in turkey it's a repeat of ten years ago when he assaulted a political rival which led to this standoff in kabul between police and his bodyguards i got gen dostum is surrounded somewhere homs even costumes here as they must know that seven or eight provinces of the north will turn against the government's dostum has

a ruthless reputation he has ruled northern afghanistan for thirty years and is renowned for shifting his allegiance. in one thousand nine hundred six he met top taliban commanders for talks but the handshake stops the he would fight the taliban in the northern alliance famously saying he could never bow out of a government where there is no whisky and no music that dustin was later accused of the crimes and hundreds of taliban prisoners in his care suffocated in shipping containers. after the two thousand and one us invasion dostum transitioned from warlord to politician. he willed enormous influence in afghanistan's north when he returned from exile ten years ago this was his reception. was many including president danny who needs the support of dostum spanx we eager to see what type of reception he gets this time. charlotte bellus al-jazeera.

is a political analyst and specialist on regional security he says dostum has clearly been targeted by opposition groups. the opposition militant groups are his target. i mean day the target because he does not build those gatherings which can contribute to instability and insecurity and i want to start and the issue of jerusalem has been so much politicized on the last two or fourteen months that anything doing with that in dom's of insecurity or targeting the khan lives or even harming them would have significantly contributed to instability in the afghanistan unfortunately many people talk their district down will help the country get rid of these warlords who have been maintaining a hedge of many and have been influencing the local politics have been really creating problems for the general public return of. beans that the government might not pursue the not for our string or eliminating these warlords

and assets this is a big sit back for the hordes of people the general outline public who are sick of these warlords they risk their lives to save thousands of syrians in the civil war now the rescuers have to seek safety hundreds of white helmet volunteers and their families have left southern syria via the israeli occupied golan heights israel gave them safe passage to jordan following a request from the u.s. and europe chosen the go for reports. as night fell hundreds of white helmet volunteers and their families made their way across the israeli occupied golan heights to jordan the plan is for the united nations to help resettle them in canada the u.k. and germany rebels and syria's southwest region reached a deal with the government to leave the area on friday buses have been leaving from quintet truck what we are seeing actually in my opinion is part of the enjoyments

would have been agreed between that and international powers in order to clear. the area from any presence that is not that might not. be happy with. the white helmets were founded in twenty fourteen to rescue civilians injured in attacks on rebel held territory the nonprofit volunteer risky group operated in opposition held areas and has been backed by the u.s. and other western countries for many of the volunteers who left this is the first time in years they won't be confronted with casualties of war so here's our guy for al-jazeera go live now to stephanie decker in the israeli occupied golan heights so vague maybe it out one assumes that a lot of people whose fates might still be in question though given their fears of the regime right. absolutely goes to show that it is possible

certainly this was an international effort by the united nations as well various countries you know multi organizations and then as you said you know that request was made to israel and they facilitated their exit through the israeli occupied golan heights and into jordan but people don't have that luxury and they do remain trapped sami although i have to tell you where we are this is the only remaining pocket of so-called opposition in this southwestern area can nato which is a little further north of us there's an active proper reconciliation deal ongoing with rebels who don't agree being bussed to it live what is behind us is the isis controlled pocket this is the group in charge here is the been awhile lead brigade and basic what we've been witnessing here since we've arrived is very active air campaign we've actually seen the jets in the sky we've heard them and they've been bombing a village just over my right shoulder and also a mountain

a little further afield so just gives an indication that it is heating up certainly here there will be no negotiating with this group because it is affiliated with isis and it certainly will tell you that the syrian government is making very quick progress here in the south and this is the game only pocket left that they're having to take all right stephanie back from these regular golan heights. sami is editor in chief international interest that's an online news service he says the white helmets could serve as key witnesses of the crimes committed by the syrian regime. russia and the assad regime in particular they resent the white helmets with a particular venom mainly because they have been in key instrumental part in the p.r. campaign against the assad regime and against russia in bringing to light some of the atrocities that have happened in this war we've heard stories in the past of assassination attempts on white helmets on targeted bombings against places where

you find volunteers from the white helmets so i think with regard to the evacuation it may well be that this is outside a u.s. russia repression and perhaps more of keeping a wild card in the event that syria becomes and it looks on course to become a more russian allied state than a us state i would think that the assad regime in particular would not particularly be happy with the white helmets being evacuated i think with regards to the excuse that they were being surrounded they were being blockaded by the assad forces on one side and isis forces on the other side this situation has happened before and we haven't seen an evacuation of this scale before so with regards to pursuing legal action if these white homeless will be integral in telling the story in other words it will not it will prevent as if from telling the story that he was victorious against terrorist organizations the white helmets will be integral in telling the tragedy of a story of a people who wanted freedom and justice but were suppressed in quelled by a vicious and tyrannical regime backed by russia backed by iran backed by these

various different powers. france is sending fifty tons of medical aid to the government controlled area of eastern halt all the aid is being sent on a russian plane the first time a western country has sent material to syrian government controlled areas with moscow's help government forces returned beast in the water in april after a siege lasting several years about half a million people live there but very little aid making it in. the standoff at the compound in the occupied east jerusalem area is over for now most of the more than one thousand jewish settlers left the compound a short time ago and were marking a holiday to commemorate the destruction of ancient jewish temples in jerusalem several arrests were made after confrontations with muslim worshippers locke's a mosque is islam's third holiest site jews believe the compound is where difficult temples once stood it's been the most contested piece of territory since israel

occupied east jerusalem in one nine hundred sixty seven still ahead on al-jazeera just weeks after.
