you know. with young. people you're not dealing with. that when we really. just to remind you of what we are waiting for this is the seventeen year old head to me who has just been all misstatements in israeli jail locked up when she was sixteen for a slapping and israeli soldier she's going to be addressing the media with her family she's been out for about seven hours now has made a couple of stops one being the grave of yasser arafat she's also met with mahmoud abbas and now her mother and father abbas in an arm mom are sitting with her there and they're going to make some statements and then afterwards the media will be able to address them and basically what they're doing now is just telling the reporters there how this event is going to go and we will carry that for you live

from beginning to end so this will be the first public comments she has made sets being released from prison and really a symbol of the resistance. the occupation and a real discussion that has been sparked about locking up minors for things such as this and particularly for so long. and let. the very beginning to think you have to think of those social pulled me while being good prison like to thank all those who have led companies fully and for the sake of me to thank all the journalists and media people who are you today and who were there before because without them voice would never be able to reach the. pains to continue seeing what the president has left in israeli prisons. and i

would be all was available with you i would be with you for the prisoners. sent from the lebanese side of the village my saloon to a. salute for the. salutes of the people of god as the old are still continuing their claws also have a message from the female prisoner. who supports the firm stand there of the other laughable rules telling to the guys the people that she is fully support their part. i want everyone who has stood with me for me while i was in prison i want to specially thank the people who have campaigned for me today i want to thank the journalist but i want to say that when i got more i want to say that i have

come and i hope that the campaigns that were for me continue for all the other political prisoners that remain in prison particularly the young children and i come here to send a message of solidarity to the people that are internal to my better standings that there and to the people of gaza who are resisting and remaining that tough in the face of the occupation i have a message from the political prisoner headed by the board that also sends a message of support the call that they're here to the people of mine and also sends a message of solidarity to the people of. the. i.d.f. . and.

hammerstein says. hey. this isn't demand and for our english speaking audience to stay close we will have the translation for you and just all. of them with any. kind of done at that listening and. the substance he will debate with to support all the prisoners female and female prisoners in this really prisons for the sake of their freedom. i come to also reiterate the message that the rousseau is and will always be the capital of public time i come and i leave behind me twenty nine female prisoners of them

there are three child female prisoners their names north korea's way here let my pancreas and had the lead in their friends and i come with a message that says that only a couple of went with me and think oh some people he points the first point and they left it too although you would know that they called for a national unity and inside the palestine and their second message to the world is that they call on the people of palestine to remain strong and a resilient and united the resistance and their third message is that they call on everyone to stand with the rights of the political prisoners and to work for their release. and i'm sending during my period in the prison the only one thing that has put the pressure is that i have those words i'm not going to continue my stardate but at present i have completed my dark alone. we have. named ourselves the students of challenge because we managed to challenge

the prisoners at the prison and those who administered in the prison we managed to go back to our places and to study so we were strong enough to challenge them in the prison and to continue our study and this is due to us mean sharbat who has worked hard in order to for us to complete star they also we have challenge ourselves and we have that will to continue and to continue our study this is our job these who was. and and and continue as the study the whole night for more education and more knowledge we have challenge all the zionists there in the

prison also we have challenged them through a course of answer national low and humanitarian to national low to get no knowledge and no information the result. has been turn from difficulties and to school for us and i want to also say that one of the think it places of pressure and stress for me was i thought i would miss my matriculation exams and not be able to graduate. but what we did to turn this occupation is that we have nablus what we called in the class of television where we studied for part of the university matriculation exam and we faced consistent threats and the news from the israeli army they tried to shut down that they tried to divide us they denied the parentless be together and we took what we continue to do so and that was. the board. needs. to have the bisection to

make sure that we have taken our plan and we come home. and to. give it no support that sleep at night in the bay with that i would say up to study to ensure that she would succeed and take on a parent this is in this class we haven't decided to take classes on international law and human rights and to make sure that we know our rights and we know the rights that we fight for life and. also the prisoners jazz relate facing the toff times in the prisons because of the lack of. messages from the families. movement from a prison to another prison because of the two of various mon.

cause also the treatment that we received is hot. and hot i think to. the something i want to also mention that there is the military transport of the presentation vehicle that transports the political prisoners and it's a method of vehicle everything inside of it that made that up and we were suffering and we suffered the loss as we were consistently moved around from place to place and this military vehicle called the boss. can. get the role of large coalition is. low is sort of racist and was this. is a racist. and my message as i did to me. and to everyone that of the national.

on the subject connected to each other and we need to isolate israel because of the war crimes. it has been it has committed and it has been all it was committing. i want to also say that my message here is that the resistance will continue particularly since for equality and for social rights and i want to say that the international solidarity is important and particularly moving to be there to achieve the isolation and sanctions on really the government. that. the jewish nation that was nothing this really the mayor said that he refused to. answer them and. they. must like to think of my own mother who has suffered. has been the target of all

violations my mother. was in a different prism she is a mother she has sons in prison is a little of a presence of this is a very difficult but she is. and she has challenge every good thing and she has been stronger than the occupation and she has managed to continue her issue with a very high voice my mother's. was in prison with me. so i'm al jazeera as andrew symonds is at this event and i had to me a nice home village of nabi sol in the occupied west bank and she's an incredibly poised for her age and andrew having been sixteen when she was locked up she's seventeen now and she seems to be really taking this opportunity to talk a lot about others so if you can kind of recap for our viewers that are just now

joining us. well you're absolutely right there was she's exhausted we've heard from a number of people that she is very tired indeed but she's all very also. media savvy she's being advised by a team of people especially in social media many of them all suggesting that she says nothing until now in the she said very little publicly until now and of course now she is thanking everyone across the board any impression you might have had that this was going to be a big call for more action over the conditions children face in israeli jails well it's much bigger than that she's actually trying to embrace the whole palestinian calls she's talking about solidarity right across the board she's singled out a number of major issues of conflict particularly gaza and also her mother remember the man who was the video all before who took the pictures of her daughter

slapping the face of an israeli soldier that iconic image of those calls in enragement in israel and celebration here that has been another aspect to it her mother also engaged in describing how activism is key to the future of the palace to the palestinian calls and of course her father about him he has spoken at length about his a past in that he was an activist he's fifty years old now he was an activist and he's been to jail on a nine separate occasions short term it has to be said many of them detentions but he has described in a number of occasions how he is proud of his daughter in that she's taking this on she spoke about education reich's in the jails she spoke about managing to sit her finals of the baccalaureate the high school exams and also getting through all that campaigning with other youngsters in the jails to get that sorted out to get her.

to get their education through that is quite an achievement it seems however there's another edge to this obviously it's all about symbolism it's all about imagery it's all about social media israel is hitting back it started a few hours ago with us with the words of an israeli minister this is what he had. to say. i think israel acts too mercifully with these types of terrorists and others israel should treat harshly those who hit its soldiers we can't have a situation where there is no deterrence deterrence leads to that reality we see now you can change that we must change. but enter has there been any acknowledgement. that this is a child that they're talking about and that there seems to be she's not the only young person who has been locked up. no

you're absolutely right that i don't mean to say no in the sense that there has been no acknowledgement of it no of that the has been a lot of discussion amongst n.g.o.s in that they're supporting her cause in that she's highlighting the issues facing children in israeli jails there are just less than three hundred in israeli jails right now most of them between the ages of sixteen and eighteen but many it has to be said are young eight nine years of age many of them don't have charges laid against them but they're treated as a matter of course by israeli prison service as people with criminal convictions criminal offenders so this is a major issue but it has to be said that president mahmoud abbas himself addressed spoke to her and said that she represented she was an idol in his own words an idol for the palestinian people she was pushing forward with

a cause popular resistance he described it as so this is much broader than just the i say just the issue of children in jails this is much broader this is being seen and grasped by the media savvy people in the palestinian cause to push forward a message to the use because that's one of the problems with the palestinian movement right now is connecting the politicians don't necessarily connect with the palestinian youth in a particularly good way has to be said that's what the commentary is from so many people inside the palestinian movement as well as outside so this could be i'm saying could it could be a move towards some connect connection here some more move into that direction but that could be a bold prediction it could be proved wrong but right now she is on the crest of a wave in terms of media following out in terms of message all right and here we're going to let you and get back to that the press airing keep an ear on that and in the meantime we're going to. the discussion about i head to mimi so her detention

put the spotlight on the number of minors being held in israeli prisons israel's military juvenile court was established in two thousand and nine and rights groups argue that the system massed human rights abuses under facade of legality as of the end of may two hundred ninety one palestinian minors were in israeli jails a security detainees and prisoners that includes three palestinian minors held under what's called administrative detention which means they are detained without charges without trial another six miners are held in israel's prison service facilities for being in israel illegally israel says the record allows a great deal of parental involvement rights groups say a bass majority of cases never even go to trial instead and in a plea bargain. as a psychologist with the gaza community mental health program he joins us now from gaza we appreciate your time so much so watching i had to mimi after what she's

been through and now this press conference she's having what are your thoughts basically first of all seeing someone so young having been through so much and now . having this cause that she is now the face that she's young. thinking. on her. i can see that. she wants to reflect the suffering of pretty. cool. who. the children. are that there are. only. explorers who and she is following. them and. i think it's the initial response for i had.

tried to go to flex that she's not affected by the violation during here in policeman in prison resentment and i think. we can see her when she tried to go to prison that he she is became a national figure for the palestinians are you think the torture of experience is a very painful experience for. any people in this mission for the children and i think that the palestinian community is highly appreciate all the. political prisoners and they are looking for them as heroes and i had to tell me she became as somebody to go to for the nationalist lawyer for the palestinian people and she tried to say that she's strong enough and she has a high tolerance and. she's not affected by this rally by the.

ok. i thank you very much hopefully we can continue this conversation. ok let's move on with the day's news israel's navy has surrounded a flotilla of four boats loaded with aid for gaza in the mediterranean sea the activists on board say the military has threatened over a maritime radio to take all necessary measures to make it change course flotillas attempting to break the twelve year blockade of gaza by israel and egypt it's carrying twenty two people including some israeli citizens it set off from palermo in italy just a week ago this is just the latest attempt by a pro palestinian activist to reach gaza from the sea and two thousand and ten events turned deadly when israeli soldiers stormed the. marmaris ship ten turkish activists were killed israel later apologized for what it called operational mistakes and two thousand and fifteen the military redirected four boats bound for

gaza to the israeli port of ashdod two thousand and eight two boats carrying forty people from all over the world successfully reached gaza israel's foreign ministry said it provided permission charles stratford is at the port city of ashdod so what is the latest now on charles. well all indications would suggest that the israeli navy have now come and did control of these boats or at least chaperoning them we've heard reports they may be towing them here to the pullout of ashdod the last tweet put out by the organization. regarding the boats situation was about an hour ago we understand that the israeli military sort of these very navy had used loudspeakers and to the wall of the boats that as you say they were going to take all of a couple measures to stop the course of the. boat we understand it's carrying

around fifteen thousand dollars worth of medical equipment. there twenty three activists couple of journalists on board as well from sixteen different nations septics sixteen different countries now we reached out to try to reach out to these radii military and their statement was that they cannot elaborate on i.d.f. israeli defense forces activity a statement was put out about half an hour ago from the international freedom flotilla coalition saying that the organization kohls on the norwegian government the governments of those on board and all relevant organizations to act immediately and as i say it seems as if all communications only seems to have been lost with that boat in the last hour or so charles you and you just recently left. describe remind our viewers about the the living conditions there for palestinians.

well the organization the international freedom coalition sorry freedom flotilla coalition has always said that it fully expected the israeli military the israeli navy to take control of their boats and for this to happen and it said it was doing it largely as a symbolic gesture it was highly in poll they said to draw attention to the terrible conditions of the one point eight million people two million people living in gaza i was there only yesterday it's difficult to describe the level of suffering of the people there i mean just the statistics will tell you fifty percent unemployed fifty percent living under the poverty line in some areas only getting four hours of electricity a day. rule sewerage being pumped into the sea because there isn't the electricity to power the sewerage clearing. the fishermen for example even more

restrictions put on the fishermen of gaza last week now only allowed to operate to fish within three nautical miles off the coast at least ten fishermen killed since the siege started in. almost twelve years ago so as i say it's very difficult for an international audience unless you've actually been to gaza to try and convey and make people understand just how desperate the situation there is of course israel blames the hamas leadership the hamas administration full the conditions of the people for the conditions that the people suffer from in gaza but yeah a worrying development for this flotilla as it seems we have lost communication with it we understand it is being taken a chaperoned here. by the israeli navy and as i say it was very important for them this organization to draw as much attention as it can to the terrible conditions of

those one point eight million people living in gaza stratford life rason asan charles thank you. votes are being counted in cambodia general election with the ruling party already predicting a landslide victory for a prime minister who insane human rights groups have called the poll a sham the main opposition was dissolved and its leader jailed or exiled just over eighty percent of registered voters cast their ballots and he joins us live now from phnom penh so there was supposed to be a boycott the opposition call for a boycott how much should people really heed that plane. well on the face of it the tuneup seems to be quite high more than eighty percent of registered voters turned out to cost the ballot but the cambodian national wrist the bans opposition party what was the largest opposition party in cambodia has reacted to that turnout and said look don't read too much into that because there

was so much intimidation by the government including by the prime minister who in saying in the lead up to this vote trying to coerce people to get along to cast their ballots there were threats made against people that they may lose their employments they may lose their lands could also lose access to services in their communities in their villages if they did not turn up to vote so they are saying that this is a factor in those two not figures and after all when people did turn up to vote they had their finger died with ink so we was very easy for people to be able to tell who did vote and who didn't so that is something that the c.m.l. pieces you have to take into account when looking at these figures these turnout figures ok wayne hale live for us and penn thank you wayne now there were twenty parties running in this election but only one expected winner the sixty five year old prime minister who insanities cambodian people's party sense of two thousand

and thirteen election the parties had a majority and the national assembly and a super majority in the senate and senate has ruled cambodia for thirty three years he was a former commander of the common ruse the communist fighters led by pol pot who carried out the infamous killing campaign in the one nine hundred seventy s. but after fleeing to vietnam he returned as a leader of a rebel army to defeat a common ruge sam rainsy is the former leader of the cambodian national rescue party and the president of the cambodia national rescue movement and joins us via skype from paris we appreciate your time so how would you characterize the the call for the boycott and how it actually turned out. you know what's not a surprise you thought of. easily war but we allowed only a real challenge so not to an election year shero action

how would you like the international community to respond to this election the election results. united nations has already set. up an. election any u.s. european union head started to work a section i didn't say. the middle and. finally. curly i expect those of us actions will get. hotter in the ones that you casts or you can't eat us actually not a lower jaw ringing up one side and you got it so what what impact do you hope that those sanctions will have practically do you wanted to give the opposition a voice what would you like to see happen as a result of sanctions do you see that there are

extended through there yeah and the shots. there are. a little but or even a little girl at the stage it. caught. your who. are good so maybe not terrible. and you can you guess and how do you expect to respond. yeah but. yeah because. i'm not. sure. what way out there was only from the rest of the letter and only all of

china ah so now it's old. only to sort or not but there's a lot and eventually. we've. got ok sam rainsy president of the cambodian national rescue movement thank you for joining us appreciate it emergency teams in laos continue to search for survivors as floodwaters there began to recede and the number of dead and missing from monday's dam collapse that is not known but the government initially said hundreds of people were missing the flood roth has also affected northern cambodia as for its louis reports from stern trying. floodwaters in at a poor province in southern laos a slowly receding but the deluge of mud left behind is hampering search operations lower water levels have made some areas in assessable by boat helicopter flights are the only way into some communities makeshift shelters are packed with thousands

damage to the dam was first noticed raising more questions on whether the order to evacuate villages from their homes should have been issued earlier florence louis al-jazeera still trying cambodia. two days of torrential monsoon rains in india's populous state have caused the deaths of nearly sixty people landslides pradesh have the straw and hundreds of homes and large areas of the state are flooded. as the latest. seemingly endless to wrench will rains have flooded streets and the day luzhin the northern state of which are projects has triggered landslides. delays we've recorded dozens of injuries and deaths since friday night a large number of houses have also been damaged animals have been reported dead. six members of one family including children were killed when their home collapsed and home of the famous taj mahal rescue operations are underway and emergency crews are trying to clear roads and provide relief. all of our civil servants are in the

field visiting those affected keeping an eye on the situation we are working together with residents and local officials using floating pumps to remove some of the water and doing whatever is possible. the monsoon rains between july and september provide much needed water for farmers across india but the annual rainy season is also responsible for the loss of life and property weather forecasters say more days of heavy rain are on the way well judging on al-jazeera. fires that are burning in california and the weather is not helping rob now as far a flood the series in it and we're going for one of the california of course it is far season and it's been well reported it's a very bad start to the fos is another reason rain or rather and this is actually the time of the monsoon in the u.s. it's affecting the far south of california or arizona or new mexico but we're talking about places to the north reading is the size of the biggest father car

fire now read about twenty four minutes ago that is still in the five percent contained it looks as though the doing better than that in the course of files all the way down inland of this of the coast is much cooler to say the weather isn't helping a toll with this the pictures show you've already seen i'm sure more than one that we showed them here as well stored at least five hundred properties already evacuations from such a county and for reading are mandated free and probably spread but they try to contain it try to contain it by sometimes setting fire to the edges burning off the brush that might allow the fire to move the wedding is the weather itself is not really doing any damage it's the history we call hard time she's now we've got dry ground in line temperatures from thirty three to forty six typically in this general area reading about the thirty seven mark there's no help on the way if you want cooler weather here's the coast here inland just grin and bear it i'm afraid.

iraq's prime minister has suspended the electricity minister after weeks of protest against power outages or public services and unemployment. demonstrations continued on sunday in a number of southern cities after a body imposed curfews and cut off internet access in some areas human rights watch has accused iraqi special forces of using lethal force against the protesters. are still underway to form a governing coalition in iraq no party won a majority in may's national election and the result isn't yet confirmed because a manual recount was called over allegations of vote rigging the parties trying to leave iraq have major differences on their attitudes towards the u.s. and iran as iran called reports from baghdad. the big winner in iraq's contested election is expected to be this man also that who confidently expects his party to lead the next government once the revised result has been confirmed by the supreme

court there's no date for when the supreme court will issue its ruling but it's likely the shia cleric will form a coalition he's a self-proclaimed nationalist suspicious of both iran and the us other shia parties far from united behind him shia islam is the predominant sect particularly in southern iraq so there's large election win means his party they say don't lie and will choose the next pm to do so will need to make deals with other parties one of the largest is the victory alliance led by the current prime is the height of the body the victory alliance a body is the only choice also that it has for prime minister if there is a better candidates we are open to any but the candidate however i personally think he is in the right place and the situation. we are in the right place jews somebody who we know and i would like to see him in power. but also that he's

looking beyond just a shia base for coalition partners because of his nationalist starts the communist party of iraq has joined forces with him this kind of for alliance metry communist . movement is surprising to many. people but it didn't come as a surprise it was an hour of calm off common activity that come on to see. the protest movement over the years two thousand and seventeen but the smaller parties may not give all southern the influence he so desires over government now his supporters all getting angry so he'll be looking at exactly who can help him to fill his agenda. protests in the self the demanding energy and economic reform concern also that because many of his supporters are involved with that in mind he said all talks about forming a coalition must be suspended until the protesters do. his cool has been popular

political observers who have a believe that iraq is headed to once again for a period of political instability that could be dangerous. over the next government is not from soon then that will have implications the first one will be the only going economic crisis the second one is the potential reemergence of i soul and other affiliated terrorist groups around baghdad and anbar this is all happening in the midst of the rising tensions between iran and the u.s. and this impacts the iraqi political scene. the u.s. and iran are both big players in iraqi politics blocs allied to one or the other any government will have to balance its relationship with the americans and the iranians to try and stop iraq from becoming a political battlefield by proxy as well as managing the demands of the iraqi people imran khan al jazeera baghdad. zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe says he will not vote for his successor emmerson inagua and sunday's election the

ninety four year old held a surprise news conference today urging his supporters to vote against those who pushed him from power last year a rambling briefing lasted more than an hour that was the first time he's spoken publicly since november. back on board for the party or those you can power. who are. just you know. the people who were involved. in the woods and we need to these. kind of what you see in the m.d.c. the. very do we drive to. the house more from harare. robert mugabe says he's not going to vote for the

people who to make him the people who removed him from office in november he also said he's not going to vote for the rulings on repair party or for president. he insisted he's going to prefer to vote for nelson chamisa the main opposition party he also said was planning to resign in december last year at the zanu p.f. congress and hand over to the former defense minister he implied that it wasn't god or was never going to be his preferred candidates to need to this country so what does this mean we're not people listen to mugabe but choose not to vote for the rulings are a party opinions are mixed some people feel he is ninety four years old and he's no longer relevant in zimbabwe's politics but i would say remember there is speculation that the ratings are a party and some people will do support with suggest they are fractures within the ruling party and the army those people could listen to god and vote for the main opposition leader nelson chamisa what is clear is an election is going to be very

very interesting. opposition leader nelson chamisa how the news conference after mugabe spoke and this is what he had to say please leave me alone i'm going and have a new zambia people do you with your old man you know you have disappointed him it's so disappointing to please make your way your comments with him i have nothing to do with what britain mugabe would want to say that what is this it is it is not made judy is it kind of going to choose what we're not going to this election to choose what it is going to do we're going to be just some would say the are you likely to have a favorable disposition in my favor we're mine to deny that extra vote that will make the fundamental we don't want women. at the rebels in yemen say they've been attacked by dozens of air strikes by the saudi coalition and the targets include

the capital sana in this or t.j. port city of who data they follow who is the attack on saudi vessels in the red sea and the alleged drone strike on the airport so now we are going to go to the polls that have opened in mali for voters to choose a new president or re-elect abraham keita is one of twenty four candidates including opposition leader somalia sisi security at polling stations as a major concern after the killing of dozens of people in the past week to monitor the situation there molly's army is supported by more than fifteen thousand u.n. peacekeepers and french military officers despite this armed groups have ambushed military bases in convoys in the cities of timbuktu and could solve this state's back to two thousand and twelve when mali an army officers overthrew the government leading to separatists declaring an independent state in the north and two thousand

and thirteen french troops recaptured territory under rebel control to prevent a march on the capital bamako two years later linked fighters attacked a hotel in the city killing twenty two people there's also fighting in central mali smop to a region that's killed at least three hundred people. mood your coupe is the president of the economic community of west african states network of electoral commissions explains why the elections are important for mali. it's important for the region because of what you have mentioned the security challenge in the northern part of the country around the two book to area and also in the central park around you know this is not only peculiar to miley you have also causes of insecurity in other parts of the said region and we we started to learn a lot from what happens in the republic of might call the election that we have been through the a website is viable the process is election monitors were interested in our process some foresee just from the security that arrangements to the deployment of stuff for the election so the deployment of material for the

election we're pretty confident what we have observed is the same situation that we have observed elsewhere that cannot be any election without people complaining but we have complaints of of the votes that i just i which has been our greatest it was addressed by a multi-stakeholder approach involving the electoral commission the francophonie the civil society organizations political parties were confident this is going to go through i think described as flaming tornadoes have destroyed entire neighborhoods in northern california police say at least five people have been killed by the wildfires including two small children seventeen others are missing in the city of reading every elizondo has more. tornado i thought it was a fire combustible gas residents say was unlike anything they've seen before just like in oklahoma you see like on the wizard of oz they're also uses seen points like a wall for names and then there are sheets of metal for and around like two hundred

feet near. fueled by steep terrain hot weather and dry brush what was left the smoldering remnants after an out of control wildfire that scorched northern california in zero five hundred structures burned to the ground including hundreds of homes the fast moving flames burned entire neighborhoods and in at least one case destroyed an entire small town it's not over the fire is only five percent contained at times firefighters had to switch from defending property to hoping people escape more than forty thousand people have been ordered out of harm's way the unstoppable flames even jumped a river under normal circumstances the overnight hours provide a reprieve lowering the heat and allowing firefighters to gain an upper hand on the blaze but this is no ordinary fire after sunset the winds have picked up

and made the fire increase in size overnight this is highly unusual and it's expected to get worse with temperatures expected to be over forty two degrees celsius in the coming days. there are more than a dozen fires burning in california putting property but more importantly people at risk. they didn't realize how much. my home to me. in central california you simba the national park home to four million visitors a year remains closed because of another nearby fire it's the first time since one thousand nine hundred the park closed because of fire the wildfire aspect has intensified over the years so we need to experience more and more damage the wildfires it's like going gas in. these type of fires they wrapped in the spread so fast the national guard has been called in to try to help
