9:01 pm
pharmaceutical company gave a vaccine to be. far as small me here with all this sport as the german football federation when jack claims of racism from planes which prompted the arsenal star to quit the national team. the un's highest court has issued an order in favor of qatar in the case it brought against the united arab emirates the u.a.e. is one of the four countries that imposed an air land and sea blockade against more than a year ago the international court of justice says the measures taken by the u.a.e. after the blockade amount to racial discrimination and that qatari families should be reunited it's instructed the u.a.e. to ensure catheters students can complete their education in. the u.a.e.
9:02 pm
and be given access to their records if they want to transfer elsewhere the court also ruled that catherine is affected by the blockade should be allowed access to courts and tribunals within the us as barker has more now from the hague where the un's highest court has sided with qatar in granting something called provisional measures which is an urgent immediate ruling by the i.c.j. that forces the u.a.e. a key signatory of the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination hold its obligations that it's accused of violating it is now being ordered by the i.c.j. to avoid anything that leads to the separation of families to allow students to continue their studies or at least get the stiffness they need to be able to study elsewhere it would also allow people to access judicial services something that qatari government says that its nationals have been denied over the course of the blockade on the country but also a key. message here one of the from the i.c.j.
9:03 pm
to both countries to avoid anything that would escalate tensions between. and the u.a.e. going forward of course qatar over the course of this legal battle has accused the u.a.e. of racial discrimination is focusing on what it says was a policy to expel qatari nationals from the u.a.e. at the start of the blockade we now need to see exactly how the u.a.e. will implement these recommendations and exactly when. well william morris there is an international law lecturer at the hague university of plied sciences he said that it could be years before the outcome of the case is known and it won't necessarily be in katherine's favor despite today's ruling. the problem is the people who are separated from their spouses or trying to do education or or their property is rights have been disrupted these people can't wait that long and so one
9:04 pm
of the mechanisms that the court has is to say let's just issue this emergency injunction where we would rescind some of these measures so that people are not overly prejudiced and they don't have all this irreparable harm to their to their lives in distress and upset and that way they can continue their lives while the case is being heard so in the end it may be victoria loses that is definitely one possibility but for now so that these people are not overly prejudiced we have these provisional measures. president donald trump has warned iran never to threaten the united states again warning it will provoke cold sequences which a few throughout history have suffered his tweet came just hours after a rainy and president rouhani warned that trumps hostile policies were leading to the mother of all wars iran has faced increased economic pressure and possible sanctions following the u.s. withdrawal from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal. with television as
9:05 pm
their platform a ratcheting up of three between iran's president hassan rouhani and the trumpet ministration on sunday secretary of state mike pompei or spend a full twenty six minutes criticizing rouhani and his leadership the ayatollah are in on the act two judging by their vast wealth they see more concerned with riches than religion these hypocritical holy men advice all kinds of cricket's games to become some of the wealthiest men on earth while their people suffer. the u.s. administration is attacking iran from multiple angles in may president trump withdrew from the twenty fifteen nuclear court in august he will reimpose sanctions aimed at crippling iran's economy pompei or warned tehran its exports will be squeezed in the coming months and is pressuring allies to stop importing iranian oil by november its biggest source of income and now the u.s. administration is seizing on protests in iran to begin
9:06 pm
a media campaign president rouhani referred to the strategy and thracian trump against turning his people against him but don't issue because you're not going to change don't play with the lion's tail you will regret it forever you cannot carry out these measures it is out of your capability you cannot force during ins to act against their own country you have clearly shown you are against the iranian people . those comments got this response from president trump who tweeted in capital laces never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before we're no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death be cautious . to tweet is a flashback to trump and north korean leader kim jong un kim was also at the wrong end of a new caps tirade last year before the two leaders came together at a summit in singapore in june. but the difference with iran is protests the soaring
9:07 pm
cost of living has pushed iranians to the streets numbers not seen since twenty twelve but analysts say a media campaign to win them over will be received as u.s. propaganda i think it's quite clear that as much as they are frustrated and deeply frustrated with the government of iran they're not jumping on to trump side any time soon from california to tehran the high stakes verbal sparring will be watched by its target audience the iranian people shall of dallas al-jazeera. well i have a hussaini is an iranian m.p. and national security spokesman he told our desire that trumps outburst was motivated by anger. on. americans have been trying for two to three years now to convince other countries to confront iran instead of cooperating with iran but they haven't succeeded even their commercial partners like the europeans and china they clearly announce they
9:08 pm
won't go with the sanctions naturally russia won't cooperate nor will other countries in our opinion america is angry because it is isolated itself and it feels that it remains alone against iran. well as cross live now to washington d.c. and speak to kimberly halkett who's been following the story so we've got an iranian m.p. there a national security spokesman saying that the u.s. is the one that's angry and crucially isolated what are people in washington saying about this tweet was just something that donald trump put out in anger or do we think there is more to it. there's no question it was probably an impulse reaction and anger the president often does that and if there is any strategy to donald trump's outburst saying social media often it can be a negotiating tactic which is sometimes effective special as we saw in the case of north korea it did allow for kim jong un and donald trump to at least sit down and
9:09 pm
start a conversation after exchanging back and forth very very strong rhetoric threatening fire and fury this case does seem a little bit different in terms of the reaction from the iranian m.p. saying the united states is isolate itself that is certainly partially true from the u.s. standpoint there are certainly many analysts here in the united states that believe that there are still many that stand with the united states and it comes down to one reason and one reason alone and that is certainly when it comes to the world's reserve currency the u.s. dollar that is still speaks and holds a lot of power and so when it comes to these iran sanctions that are snapping back into place that seems to be behind a lot of this escalation of rhetoric of the oil markets are certainly what everyone is watching in november certainly there has been an effort to try and isolate iran given the fact that these sanctions will snap into the target the oil markets in
9:10 pm
november and so there have been efforts to try and find other markets working with european partners for example but the fact that there are countries that fear being isolated from the world financial system and that reserve currency means the u.s. still does hold a lot of cards so that's what the u.s. is counting on and that's why you see it in combination with so many other factors including the anti-government protests seeing this kind of push right now not only are these snap back sanctions going into place as a result of the withdrawal of the j.c. peel away or iran nuclear agreement that occurred in may but we're also seeing the united states opting the ante if you will broadcasting into iran. and sort of trying to target and further weaken the position of iran's leaders they're doing that through social media through t.v. through radio and these broadcasts are happening in farsi so certainly the united states feels it has an opportunity and is acting on it and it's not just sometimes it seems to be that it's sort of donald trump you know finding one particular thing
9:11 pm
an issue with but here at the scene that the administration is behind them for example john bolton the national security advisor almost taking credit for that tweet saying that he'd been speaking to donald trump about iran for a while so really the seem to be a concerted effort here. and there's no question that the united states has had iran on its radar for quite some time and we heard from donald trump of the campaign trail in two thousand and sixteen when he started targeting the iran nuclear agreement feeling that it was a bad agreement when he withdrew from it may he promised not only the sanctions but saying this is just the beginning and things are going to get much more painful it seems that this is been the plan all along you brought up the national security advisor john bolton he has called for the overthrowing of the government when the top administration withdrew from the iran nuclear agreement it said that there was this need to have perhaps come up with a better agreement one that addressed iran's destabilizing activity as they call it
9:12 pm
in the broader region so this you have to remember is a very israel friendly government that feels that iran is a threat to israel there is a lot at play just beyond the back and forth that we're seeing on social media can really help you with the latest from washington kimberly thank you. and we still have lots more coming up on the news hour from london including syria's government can bens the evacuation of white helmets rescuers and their families as criminal in a state of the nation address philippine president reagan pledges to continue his war on drugs saying the fight will be as. chilling as when it began and claims a victory that's been a long time coming close in school. but first kurdish security forces have killed three suspect that i saw fighters who attacked the governor's building in.
9:13 pm
the gunmen fired at guards before entering the building and taking hostages later security forces around the building were targeted by a suicide bomber a government employee was killed during the clashes and two policemen were wounded at a b.l. is the seat of the kurdish regional government that has largely been spared isolette tax in recent years. has more now from back that. the attack began around seven am local time when gunman burst into the gov building injuring two security forces soldiers that were on duty that they then moved to the third floor and started to open fire from a third floor window on security forces outside it was at that stage that the kurdish security forces cordoned off the area and mounted their attack they went into the building moving up to the third floor about three hours in four hours into the into the situation a suicide bomber blew himself up and then snipers killed one of the
9:14 pm
attackers and then injured another that person the later succumbed to is injuries in the hospital now the attack was all over in about five hours but there are still plenty of questions to be asked who was responsible and how were they able to get into that building will clear dish politicians blaming myself for this certainly bears the hallmarks of an eye slits hack multiple gunmen a suicide bomb so. politicians are very definitely blaming of claiming responsibility as of yet however questions are being asked of the kurdish authorities themselves how would the government able to get into one of the most secure buildings in the city of erbil. the syrian government has condemned israel's evacuation of white helmet rescue workers as a criminal smuggling operation the evacuation which also had the backing of the united nations the u.s. and great britain so four hundred twenty two members of the organization ferried overnight through the israeli occupied golan heights and into jordan it came in the
9:15 pm
wake of advancing syrian government troops and a growing threat from other armed groups the assad government has repeatedly accused the white helmets of being a front group for rebel fighters. meanwhile the syrian government and its ally russia have stepped up their offensive against eisel controlled areas in the south west of the country stephanie decker has more now from the golan heights. we've been witnessing an intense air campaign throughout the day also heavy shelling on this area behind us which is essentially the only opposition held area left in southwestern syria it's controlled by a group affiliated with ice so there is no negotiations on the table for them certainly at the moment we've seen small groups of people trying to seek shelter close to rocks close to the fence the fence that demarcates these really occupied golan heights with the syrian side the war is very close here and it really does
9:16 pm
look like the syrians together with the russians are really pushing this campaign forward now trying to retake the entire area of southwest syria the israeli army here more and more alert certain that we've seen in the past couple of weeks more soldiers monitoring the area taking pictures earlier on monday morning rockets sarin were heard here is that gives you an indication of just how close the fighting is. israel has reportedly rejected an offer by russia to keep iranian military forces at least one hundred kilometers away from the occupied golan heights the offer was made by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov during a visit to drusilla the golan heights is controlled by israel which has been concerned about recent that vance's into the area by forces loyal to the syrian ahead of the meeting israel's prime minister warned he wouldn't accept any rainy and military buildup in southern syria. at least two people have died and thirteen
9:17 pm
more are injured after a gunman opened fire in a busy street of restaurants and cafes in the canadian city of toronto. gunfire from the attack can be heard in this witness video the twenty nine year old suspect was found the nearby following a shootout with police canadian prime minister just introduced has tweeted his sympathies well city mayor john tory condemned the attack our entire city has been shocked by this card the act of violence as i've said repeatedly this is an international problem and this is a domestic problem there are far too many people carrying around guns in our city and our region who should not have them. philippine president says his war on drugs is far from over during his annual state of the nation address. said his administration's offensive will be as relentless and chilling as the day it began
9:18 pm
but outside congress protesters called for his resignation jimmy the reports though for many. his government promised president rodrigo to tear it is third state of the nation address will be his best it was meant to highlight his administration's achievement over the past two years but it ended up becoming one of the most chaotic national events in recent times the president was an hour and a half late that's because of a political drama that played out in congress before his address factions within the church allies in the house of representatives launched a leadership challenge former president gloria macapagal arroyo was a congresswoman now moved to unseat the house speaker this prevented the ratification of a peace agreement between the government and the more islamic liberation front group. plan to sign it into law on monday it was supposed to be an important part
9:19 pm
of the president's state of the nation address still there to manage to deliver his speech the war against illegal drugs is far from over despite public outrage. and surely. if you will. begun every relationship with turnover less not mean. men would be. in the worse philippines. as deter to spoke inside there were protests outside this is the biggest anti-government protests since president rhodri go daddy was sworn in two years ago and there is no shortage of
9:20 pm
anger and frustration here activists say his government is zero press and they want him to resign. these protestors see this deed of division speech is an attempt by the government to could see a grave violations against the filipino people these women admit they do not understand some of the issues mentioned in the speech they say security is a concern but they are more worried about the rising cost of food and other basic goods. i hope that the prices of goods will be lowered especially rice i hope that promise will happen because the poor are getting poorer. the state of the nation address is meant to be a showcase of the government's achievements but the political drama inside congress overshadowed the speech and what it revealed instead are the cracks in deterred his leadership. al-jazeera manila. ten people have been arrested over the
9:21 pm
alleged rape of at least sixteen girls by staff at a government funded shelter in the north of india police and most of our port city are also searching for a body after one of the victims said another girl was beaten to death and buried within the complex she was reportedly killed after having a disagreement with staff twenty one girls are thought to have been rescued from the home in total. police are. china has launched a criminal investigation after it emerged that hundreds of thousands of children may have been given faulty vaccines health regulators found the drug maker violated safety standards it's the second scandal to hit the company in the past week adrian brown has more now from beijing. it is a worrying time for parents across china outside beijing's top children's hospital we found many still absorbing the fact the china's second largest pharmaceutical company has been producing vaccines for babies that are fake you know your god you
9:22 pm
know the people who made this fabricated vaccine should be executed right away without any hesitation they did it to babies not adults he added this mother is especially concerned her one year old son was inoculated for rabies last month he has a fever and the scandal has heightened her anxiety my son was born very weak he always has fevers now his dad and i don't know if it's related to the fake vaccines in china or vaccinations to prevent diseases like tetanus hooping cough and rabies are free but now some parents no longer trust the made in china versions. of the media these three chinese vaccines cannot meet correct safety standards i would have to think about buying imported vaccine so far there have been no reports of children harmed by the vaccine or having contracted rabies. the trunk shroom biotechnology company in northeast china produced the fake vaccines the executives have now
9:23 pm
admitted falsifying test results for its rabies vaccine production is halted all vaccines are being recalled were still just last thursday this same company was fined over its substandard production of other vaccines jane tommy she at the end after we found out that the company forged the records of production and production inspections and modified technical parameters and equipment at will the actions seriously violated their relevance to belay sions of chinese law this scandal broke four days ago but it wasn't until sunday night the china's premier league chiang spoke out urging severe punishment but all those responsible now the government says that all companies that produce vaccines in china will be subject to unannounced inspections this industry was already in trouble just two years ago another pharmaceutical company was found to have improperly stored tens of millions of dollars worth of vaccines many of them had expired but in unusually open
9:24 pm
coverage china's state controlled media have called for an overhaul of an industry which one newspaper editorial said had been contaminated by scandals adrian brown al jazeera beijing electricity unions in venezuela have called for an indefinite strike starting monday in protest at low wages and poor working conditions they're joining the nation's nurses who've been staging industrial action for the past four weeks attending only emergency cases the nurses are calling for more supplies for the hospitals and a dignified salary which is that related in the constitution that israel is suffering from a massive economic crisis including hyperinflation which is over at fifteen thousand percent. paul dobson is a journalist based in venezuela joins us live now from the city of many there thank you so much for joining us i mean were mentioning there that venezuela suffering from a massive economic crisis but it's almost seems to go beyond that now i mean it does
9:25 pm
seem like the society is slowly fraying tell us a little bit about this strike the impact that it will have but also its significance because these are people that would usually stick by the government yes well i think in terms of the impact of the consumer what are the general population the strikes we're into a massive impact here that is mainly because the public services electricity and health care is already running well below its standard levels of of her efficiency and running. what i think more and important about these strikes is that as you mentioned these are sectors which would generally be supporting the government and their fact that they are now taking to the streets is a massive wake up call i think to the government and we can see this in the case of the nurses the nurses have been on strike for nearly four weeks now and two days ago the government announced a quite considerable investment plan for the public health care system of around
9:26 pm
two hundred seventy three million euros so i think the fact that their general support base is now starting to militarize a little bit and take to the streets in terms of strikes would definitely draw that the government's attention to some of the problems of maintenance investment corruption but also wages and conditions of these workers have suggested that they knew mentioned it a little bit but what do you think the government could do now to try to ease the situation for all the people of venezuela. well it's a very complex question but there's a number of issues for example corruption is one of the major qualms in venezuela one of the major complaints both in the public and private sectors and the government is at the moment carrying out a very extensive probe into corruption of all political covers and colors and this is something which has been received very well by by their support base but the economic situation is as worse as bad as it was a few years ago if not
9:27 pm
a little bit worse and the time has come for the workers to to say call on the government to address the situation takes slightly harsher measures or sternum measures to address the economic collapse which the country is currently going through and strikes can be controversial they're not always backed by you know the population at large what support for a lack thereof has there been for these there electricity unions now before the nurses for these strikes that have been going on in venezuela. well in terms of electricity workers it's still too early to say at the moment we're seeing protests registered in around seven hours of twenty or venezuela twenty four states. but i think at a later point later on today or tomorrow we'll have a better idea of the the impact of this strike in terms of the nurses the general opinion amounts of population to be very sympathetic these are public sector workers people who average families will encounter every time they go to a hospital or a g.p.
9:28 pm
clinic and people are very sympathetic with their low wages in particular for the important work they do so generally there's been a lot of support for their their their qualms. and it's very important also to point out that these are not necessarily anti government strikes maybe striking unions and britain might be more used to carrying out these are strikers who are generally on the same page of the government but who are you asking the government maybe to do things better take stern and measures and be more efficient in some of their policies rather than a drastic change in policy from from the political line of the government party and it's really based journalist paul dobson joining us from the city of many that pulled up some thank you. and still to come in this news hour will and i need ceasefire between how mass in israel hold long enough to allow vital aid and fuel supplies into gaza the french interior minister is grilled over his handling of the crisis over a presidential security you'll see on the beating
9:29 pm
a protest go at it doesn't matter what type of rugby it is new zealand always come out on top details in sport. hello there we've been talking about the showers around the black sea for a while now they've been with us for at least a week and they gradually making their way towards the northeast towards the caspian sea but they're certainly giving us some heavy downpours and also some rather more active types of weather as well this waterspout was spotted in the southwest and parts of russia so clearly very active storms that more still to come during the day on tuesday but i think for wednesday is generally looking drier and many of us could get away with a dry day still want to showers though are likely just around the coast of the caspian sea so to the north a tear on could be a couple of showers hip elsewhere though and across the region is just hot as you'd
9:30 pm
expect at this time of year forty five degrees the maximum in baghdad now here in doha it's been pretty windy over the past few days but the winds are easing and that will allow the temperatures to sneak a little bit higher so i think we'll get to around forty four or forty five degrees as we head through the next few days to the south of us there is more in the way of clouds over parts of a man and into yemen could just give us one or two showers particularly around. if we head down towards the southern parts of africa largely fine and dry for most of us here not really a great deal of cloud showing up on the satellite picture at all we'll see a bit of cloud i think in the eastern parts of mozambique that could give us a shower. which is the relationship between culture religion and a deeply divided city everything here is overshadowed by politics even the most basic of things food in two thousand and eight zero traveled to jerusalem to see
9:31 pm
a food could cross deep lines of division jewish. it together if we could to do that we can assure the people that history. rewind street food jerusalem on al-jazeera. expect to see new possibilities. here gentlemen this is. the public support debates and discussion when you see tough questions like this what comes to mind how do you respond to people how global of. al-jazeera is that winning programs take you on a journey around the. welcome
9:32 pm
back is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera the un's highest court has ordered the u.a.e. to reunite families separated by a blockade imposed on the gulf country last year after a five hour standoff kurdish security forces have killed three suspects that i saw fighters who stormed the governor's building in it. and the u.s. president has warned it is a rainy and counterpart has done little heinie he risks provoking severe consequences for his country as the two trade threats. well let's talk more about this story with laura rosen she's the diplomatic correspondent for the middle east news website monitor and has reported extensively on the iran nuclear deal madam thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so strong words from both sides as usual the trip the spot seems to happen on twitter what do you make of it
9:33 pm
and how seriously do you take it. well it came in the context of iranian president hassan rouhani giving a speech to iranian diplomats yesterday where he was using very strong language to say that peace with iran is the mother of all peace and war with iran would be the mother of all wars so i think trump partly by was responding to what they saw as menacing language from rouhani and i think secondly that some of trump's advisor advisers may have encouraged him to interpret it that way in particular i think national security advisor john bolton and other kind of pro israel hawks close to tromp have been wanting him to issue a credible threat of force against iran and troubling till now actually has has not wanted to do that he talks a tough game that he's not interested in another middle east war so i'm partly
9:34 pm
wonder if bolton encouraged trump to issue this tweet me yes it's quite interesting because bolton does seem to almost take credit saying that he'd spoken to the president for several days and told him if iran does anything at all that's negative they pay a price which is very similar language but i guess it boils down to strategy that there's animosity between the u.s. and iran is obviously nothing new but do you think there's a strategy behind it some people making parallels between the war of words on twitter between north korea and president trump and this what do you think the long term strategy is of the u.s. here. well i do think that partly the trumpet ministration and trump in particular things that maximum pressure on north korea brought about the. diplomacy with north korea that we saw last month in singapore and i think he does tell his advisors that we'll do maximum pressure on iran this economic sanctions that are
9:35 pm
rolling out in these months and then he'd be willing to possibly engage iran in the future now i think a lot of trump's advisors are not interested in trump engaging with iran and you saw secretary of state pompei o give a speech to iranian americans last night many of them hostile to the iranian regime and want to see the trumpet ministration promote protests against the iranian regime rather than diplomatically engage it and try to come up with another deal like the obama administration did a senior iranian national security official spoke to us a little earlier and told us the united states is the biggest threat to rainy and national security what's interesting is that both countries are kind of accusing the other one of being isolated in this who do you think is under most pressure right now. well i think iran is under more pressure because the u.s. has the ability to even for countries in the european union who want to maintain
9:36 pm
the nuclear deal with iran after the u.s. exit you know that their exposure to the u.s. financial markets and just how integrated those countries are with united states financial markets means that a lot of their companies have to leave iran and that leaves little economic benefit for iran to stay on the nuclear deal as the europeans would like but you know diplomatically i think a lot of countries are very resentful of the united states they think the u.s. pulled out of a perfectly fine nuclear deal that iran was complying with again some people's expectations for over two years and i think that the u.s. along with pulling out of the nuclear deal with its trade tariffs with its kind of the way trump has treated the allies at nato and at the g. seven i think there is a lot of resentment of the united states and so i don't know how much they can isolate the united states they have to continue working with it but i think there diplomatically maybe iran feels like it's with europe and russia and china saying
9:37 pm
that the u.s. is overdoing it here or is it always good to talk to you laura rosen diplomatic correspondent from monitor thank you. a funeral has been held for a palestinian teenager who was shot dead by israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank the fifteen year old was shot in the chest at a refugee camp near bethlehem during an israeli raid israeli military says its troops fired after being attacked with rocks and an aids at least twenty five children have been killed by israeli forces in the first half of this year. while israel says it will reopen its only goods crossing with the blockade of gaza strip on tuesday if the current cease fire holds until then but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu insists the military is prepared for more intense strikes if violence flares again meanwhile u.n. officials are warning that syria's fuel shortages are affecting hospitals water and sanitation facilities stratford reports now from gaza. mohamad

9:40 pm

9:42 pm
no other options i couldn't feel my children and our lives were in danger. the head of the charity has offered the backyard of her home as a haven for the women when there was no aid to be delivered to communal work or receive basic learning they also plant vegetables in the back yard and shelled the produce the charity provides help to nearly one thousand displaced families. so i don't feel we send requests to other charities which provide us with aid for these people their main problem is housing rental cost is very high and so are the needs such as what electricity and. e.-man also has a shelter for orphans and children of the displaced these families are the lucky ones because they managed to get the registered and help by relief organizations such as the one behind me of the one talks of more than sixty thousand internally displaced people in mali and with the violence ongoing that number keeps rising
9:43 pm
