hundred million dollars in funding the job cuts have led to fear and frustration in gaza a child structured reports. of two weeks of negotiations with their employer the shock of being told they had lost their job was for many too much to bear the united nations refugee and works agency in gaza says lack of donor funding means it doesn't have enough money and so jobs let's go to that i've been told that i will no longer have a full time job after the thirty first of august then we will only be able to work part time until the end of the year then my job will end i'm really sad not just for me but for my colleagues that have families this is the office of the head of the u.n. agencies operations gaza. only we chaperoned out of the building on monday night from us god's protection from the. head of the workers' union.

here says strikes by employees will continue and threaten to close down u.n. aid distribution medical centers and schools if the jobs are not reinstated. climbing was. we were not expecting this from a humanitarian organization like anwar we've tried to find a solution for three weeks since negotiations started but it looks like they have their own agenda from the start the u.n. refugee and works agency says it needs around two hundred seventy million dollars to sustain its work in gaza this year it says an emergency appeal for money from international donors has failed. years of shortfalls in their funding as the crisis here has got worse this latest announcement not only has devastating implications for palestinian employees. but potentially for others work in general across. as the people here continue israel's blockade. of gaza population

relies on humanitarian aid from the u.n. organization. showed just how desperate the situation has become in gaza conditions for the two million people living here continue to deteriorate and finding a lost in political solution to ending the violence between hamas and israel remains remote. zero gaza. so has helped. find some common ground on trade and agreement to help china's growing. and. raising the possibility of life on the red planet. and i guess it's mostly dry and hot for us across the middle east. the moment there

is the risk of just seeing one or two showers in the northern parts of iran there and perhaps a bit further north as you head up towards georgia as well but elsewhere it does look dry and it looks pretty warm as the temperature there in baghdad makes it up to a very hot forty three degrees but whether them flows down through kuwait where we're also getting forty three and then works down the gulf towards us here in doha of forty five will be our maximum temperature to the south of us there's a little bit more in the way of cloud it could just give us one or two showers around the coast in the cloud then begins to thicken up in the southwest in parts of saudi as we head through into friday down towards the southern parts of africa for many of us find unsettled at the moment we are seeing more in the way of cloud in the northeastern parts of madagascar that's they can off to give us quite a few outbreaks of rain but they should gradually begin to ease during the day and then further west is just looking dry and it looks like cape town will get to around nineteen degrees the temperatures in cape town though will ease as we head through into friday more cloud and rain will roll their way across us and

a wind will pick up as well so our maximum this time just sixteen for the central belt of africa plenty of showers here they're pushing quite a long way north at the moment so for some of us in asia it's also looking rather wait. a moment in time snapshots of our lives. other stories. providing a glimpse into someone else's work. inspiring documentary from impassioned filmmakers everybody's going to the. circle. is going to be so there's the. witness on al-jazeera.

impact of the global trade war almost immediately u.s. financial markets responded with cautious optimism as white house correspondent kimberly hellcat reports after weeks of escalating trade disputes in tit for tat tariffs u.s. president donald trump e.u. chief john clode younker announced they had forged a new relationship i have the intention to make a deal today and remove the deal today we have identified a number of areas in which to work together. on industrial goods. combined the european union and the united states make up more than half of the global g.d.p. the two leaders agreed to create a commission addressing shared goals and while they didn't mention it by name it was clear their new relationship is designed in part to combat the growing global influence of china we will therefore work closely together with like minded

partners to reform the w t o and to address unfair trading practices including intellectual property theft forced technology transfer industrial subsidies distortions created by state owned enterprises and over capacity the u.s. has accused china of being behind over production the motivation behind recent u.s. tariffs and foreign steel and aluminum imports into the united states the top administration also recently slapped twenty five percent tariffs on thirty four billion of chinese imports which china retaliated trump said hundreds of billions more in tariffs could be in the works we've spent decades developing these markets let us have access to them in the trade war no trouble has been criticized from members of his own republican party particularly in rural farm states feeling the pressure from china's tariffs on u.s.

goods china is among the top purchasers of u.s. pork and soybeans challenging problem with world trade china became a member of the world trade organization on the day we january one two thousand and one they started cheating on january too but what president trump did not suspend our recent steel and aluminum tariffs against the european union instead for now he offered a promise not to impose more can really help get al-jazeera the white house yes actually of state says he. he personally warned russia of severe consequences over alleged interference and the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election my pompei was being questioned by the senate foreign relations committee but he also faced scathing criticism for the administration's changing position on russia state department correspondent reports. when u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or the hearing room he knew what was coming

criticism of president donald trump's recent closed door meeting with russian president vladimir putin i think your paper tremendous faith in madness but it's the president's actions. that create tremendous distrust pompei this response demonstrate just how tough the administration has already been on russia over two hundred sanctions two hundred sanctions under is reflective of this in mission administration steadfastness with respect to our willingness to push back against russia paul pale also said the president doesn't question what happened during the two thousand and sixteen presidential election excepts our intelligence community's conclusion that russia meddled in the two thousand and sixteen election he has a complete and proper understanding of what happened i know i briefed him on it for over a year but the senator skepticism was bipartisan and considerable compare the following barack obama speaking tough on russia and doing nothing those are true it is trying

to say you want to rewrite the obama policy on russia but the remarks reported by russian news agency summed up the mood that mr trump sided with the kremlin over his own intelligence agency so there the russian media characterizing the meeting and we have no readout to dispute any of that pump aoe did get to talk about ending north korea's nuclear weapons program and about curbing iran's influence around the middle east but at the end the hearings focus returned to tromp statements in helsinki and the panel's top democrat was having none of it please don't talk to me about politics on talk about politics if president obama did what president trump did in helsinki i be feeling you off the capital stealing money from pails job on wednesday was to defend president francois hollande saying he was very glamorous in his testimony but it doesn't appear hinting sending money at least on the senate

even just a little i won't vote for kit or because it will mean more poverty corruption killings and unemployment when he banned the use of motorbikes here he denied many young and old people their only means of making a living if you was a good president the country wouldn't be in its present condition peter was elected in a landslide majority two thousand and thirteen after a french military intervention to drive out on qaeda linked groups from northern mali so on other forces joint including un peacekeeping mission and the west african joint force more than twenty foreign armies operate under those missions but all of that has not brought stability to mali a number of attacks by armed groups has reached unprecedented levels since two thousand and twelve the fighting has killed and displaced tens of thousands of civilians haters detractors see him as a mere french beneficiary who turned his country into an international protectorate he managed to bring together twentieth and arab nationalists to sign a peace agreement in two thousand and fifteen but so far it's largely remained ink

space agency's orbiter mars express scientists looked at radar readings from the planet's southern ice cap which provided ideal conditions ice is a very thin aspirant medium expression if it's called the impurity of the electromagnetic waves so it's good they can leak to apply to they're the much simpler cups of course these are these caps. have some impute this magnetic the school there then the ice on the mars might be cold and dry now but we already know thanks to rovers on its surface and other probes examining it from orbit that it was once a warm place with plenty of liquid water and lakes. the new study doesn't tell us how deep the reservoir is so researches can't say whether what they found resembles an underground pool or is simply a layer of sludge but they do believe it's potentially a huge breakthrough liquid water cannot exist on the surface it's simply not possible because of the yeah miscarry pressure on mars is still incredibly thin so

how water to remain liquid you have to be very deep underneath the surface and you'd also have to be very very altering and very it is also of huge importance because a stone so water lage is potentially exactly the sort of place you would go to look for life form the search for life on mars has been going on for decades scientists now have to find out whether this discovery can help them in that quest knitty barbara al-jazeera. science reporter at the far edge technology news website and she explains why the scientists were so courses about revealing that discovery. they took a long time to make sure that they got the measurements right they actually took measurements from i believe twenty twelve to twenty fifteen and then they spent extra years to make sure that they had ruled out all possible alternatives that

could explain those that weren't water and all they came up with is water had to be the explanation for it because it matches the signatures of subglacial lakes here on earth it opens up the question if there is one are there more there could be a whole network of awkward firs on mars that we just haven't detected yet so if we could find more underwater pools or lakes like this that could potentially guide where we send humans in the future because we might want to land on one of them we can't land on this one it's on the polar icecap it's not the best place to go but maybe other places would be better for us to land and then we could send humans there to drill and see what's what's lurking inside. thank. there are these are our top stories saudi arabia says it will temporarily stop oil shipments through the strait after attacks on two time because carrying crude oil the newfies say they attacked
