a fourth day. as voters in zimbabwe prepare to go to the polls a voice from the past makes a surprise indorsement. a teenage palestinian activists who was jailed for kicking and slapping an israeli soldier has been released from prison seventeen year old to me people to continue to fight against the israeli occupation of palestinian lands and who simmons has the story from nabil sala in the occupied west bank. we all dread jail ordeal much the same as hundreds experienced by young palestinians every year but the case of a had to mimi is profoundly different with her mother now the man who shared jail time with her she was greeted by her father i had to mimi is already being portrayed by palestinians as an icon of resistance to the occupation who do not
2:02 am
love me. she spoke on a range of political issues including gaza and the rights of children in israeli jails to get education and sit exams as she managed to do after pressuring the all sources later she told out zero she was deprived of some rights in jail lebron to enter a geisha and was really hard i was subject to sever violations the enter to get her used seen words to me because there were no female soldiers there and i have a right to that i had two male interrogators questioning me also as a minor they didn't even charge a family member to be there which was my rights people are describing you as an icon do you intend to take up politics perhaps or. maybe with time when i'm able i might think about becoming a couple of this one at some point. the prison sentence was for this i had slapping israeli soldiers outside her home filmed by her mother never mind the video went
2:03 am
viral then it was arrested a short time later her mother was also detained. a father who spent most of his life as an activist with several prison terms says he's both proud and sad i had lost that side of her. must have been a job you can't live normally i feel i feel some type guilty because we can't in the basin and it's become of the do it and that is what with the wars and her father is probably right when he talks about his daughter's life changing for good at the heart of it all is social media the battle over imagery and symbolism and so this is the face the palestinians and the israeli security forces expect to represent more defiance to the occupation. that may be a start and not an end to her actions. and to simmons' al-jazeera not the seller in the occupied west bank. ok let's get some more of that conversation that
2:04 am
andrew had with i had to me. to enter a geisha it was really hard i was subject to sever violations the interrogator used scene words to me there were no female soldiers there and i have a right to that i had two million target hers questioning me also as a minor they didn't even charge a family member to be there which was my right so what are your plans now. i is anything i can do to deliver the message of palestine to do for my country relieve a positive mark inside and make me optimistic of course no palestinian spirit in every palestinian house there's a prisoner a martyr or only the person i'm not the only one people are describing us and i can do intend to take up politics perhaps and. maybe with time when i'm able i might think about the coming couple of this and at some point. well to me means release was discussed in a meeting of the israeli cabinet the agriculture minister calls her
2:05 am
a terrorist. 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 lack of deterrence leads to that reality we see now you can change that we must change it. to mimi's detention put the spotlight on the number of minors being held in israeli prisons the country's military juvenile court was established in two thousand and nine and human rights groups say the system uses the legal process to hide rights abuses and as of the end of may two hundred ninety one palestinian minors were in israeli jails as security detainees and prisoners that includes three palestinian minors held under what's called administrative detention but bean's they detained without charge or trial another six miners are held for being in israel illegally israel says the courts allow a great deal of parental involvement but rights groups say that's not the case they
2:06 am
also say a vast majority of cases never even go to trial ended instead in a plea bargain. a boat loaded with aid for gaza has been intercepted by the israeli navy and is being escorted to the port city of ashdod it was one of two boats attempting to break the twelve year blockade of gaza by israel and egypt it set off from italy a week ago carrying twenty two people including some israeli citizens the second boat is expected to arrive in the same area within days stratford is in ashdod. the israeli ministry released a statement saying that the navy had intercepted this vessel because it was trying to violate what it describes as the illegal blockade on gaza or is said that the navy had been monitoring and indeed the interception of this vessel was carried out according to international law it was around about the same time that the old when a zation responsible for this flotilla put out
2:07 am
a statement calling on the governments of the various people on board to act immediately now the organization the international freedom flotilla coalition says that it was fully aware that there was a very strong chomps that israel was going to do this that israel was going to stop this flotilla from reaching gaza but it said it was important that it was done anyway as a means of trying to highlight the suffering of the gazans on the international stage and i have just come from gaza today and trying to describe the conditions for the two million people living there is very very difficult fifty percent of the population living in under the poverty line around fifty percent unemployed not enough fuel to power for example sewerage plants rule sewerage flowing into the sea when you speak to the people of gaza you understand how desperate they have become
2:08 am
they feel completely isolated. ignored by the international community let down by the palestinian leadership in ramallah. and when you see the protests that we've seen for the last eighteen weeks along the gaza border fence that the. that shows you just how desperate these people are one hundred fifty more than one hundred fifty people killed in those protests so as i say the aim of the this flotilla according to the organization that is put it together is to highlight some of those terrible issues for the almost two million people living in gaza today well it's not the first time activists have tried to break israel's blockade of gaza more than thirty boats of made the journey across the mediterranean over the past ten years stephanie decker is there. the so-called freedom flotilla sailed from italy just over a week ago a host of international activists on board all with one aim to reach gaza
2:09 am
symbolically breaking israel's navy blockade and bringing with them thousands of dollars worth of much needed medical supplies and. what happened today is that the flotilla was fifty nautical miles from gaza's waters in the israeli navy came and asked them to return they refused and insisted to continue the navy then seize the boat the activists on board were hoping to reach gaza after sunset and if they had they would have received a huge welcome but as expected they haven't been allowed to get anywhere close they've been intercepted by the israeli navy and taken to the israeli port of ashdod thirty one boats have been used by international activists to try to break this really naval blockade over the last ten years the only time they managed was back when they started in two thousand and eight since then every single one has been intercepted by the israeli navy its passengers detained and deported the most controversial attempt was in twenty ten israeli forces stormed the mavi marmara and opened fire killing ten and wounding many more israeli troops say the passengers
2:10 am
attacked and the controversy and protests which followed calls turkey to withdraw its ambassador from tel aviv and expelled israelis from ankara it was six years before diplomatic ties were restored and israel agreed to pay compensation to the families of the dead subsequent patellas of escaped attack but not interception and despite most activists knowing that the israeli navy will never allow their boats to reach gaza they say they will continue to try in order to raise awareness of israel siege stephanie decker al-jazeera gaza. so the media is saying gunman who shot dead the head of intelligence security for aden airport in yemen. was killed by masked gunmen no group has claimed responsibility for the attack there has been a recent rise in attacks on government officials including high ranking security commanders and intelligence officers. these thirty led coalition in yemen says it's destroyed launch sites being used by hoofy rebels in the western province of these images released by saudi arabia's government run. t.v.

2:14 am
sign say critics of his increasingly all thora tyrian rule that will now continue wane hey al-jazeera phnom penh. two children and their great grandmother are among six people have been killed off the wildfires in northern california the blazes have been described by some as flaming tornadoes on saturday the u.s. president donald trump declared an emergency in parts of the state devastated by fire now that means the area will get immediate financial assistance from the federal government relies on the joins us live now from california why is it so bad this time around i mean there are forest fires up and down the entire state. yeah there are there are actually seventeen major fires burning just in the state of california right now but this one here in shasta county where we're at is one of the most vigorous and one of the most intense fires people are saying it's a combination of several things high winds very dry conditions and very hot
2:15 am
temperatures we've been looking at about forty two degrees celsius the temperature highs over the last few days here and that has led to this fire that has ripped through this part of northern california to give you an idea of how hot and fast this fire burned just look at this car here behind me this is a scene we've seen all through this area in the nearby towns cars that have just literally been gutted because of this fire that ripped through here friday and in to thursday into friday up on the hill over there you can see more cars in what were a couple small homes up there that have been completely reduced to ashes they've got more than three thousand firefighters that are still in this area biting this blaze as of now it's only five percent contained but you can see how fast this fire ripped through here and if we pan over more to the left you're going to see these.
2:16 am
telephone and electricity poles there the winds and the high flames just push those things down from being vertical now on an angle over there and as he looked to the sky it's still late afternoon here the sun is very much out but you don't see the sun because it's just a gray over this entire region of northern california this is one of the worst fires that california has seen in many many years there are still thousands of people that have been evacuated and firefighters say just now they're starting to try to get take get the upper hand on this but all around us here this fire is certainly. going very strong now six people have lost their lives many people saying it's a miracle that it was only six people that it could very easily been many many more gave thanks very much. let's move on still to cover for you here on the news hour including the new york times says his publisher had
2:17 am
a private meeting at the white house with donald trump and the two are now offering very different accounts of what was said. the polls have closed in mali where the presidential bid to win another term hangs in the balance. and scores of time for the last one go to thomas on winning his first tour de france. zimbabwe's opposition leader nelson chamisa has been reported to the police for holding on unlawful press conference on the eve of the election there when campaigning in theory isn't alone earlier mr received an endorsement from an unlikely source the former president robert mugabe who said he was the only viable candidate the son of p.f. leader and current president emerson and gaga has accused the pair of striking
2:18 am
a deal from harare haram a tassel reports. it's the second time robert mugabe has spoken to reporters since he was forced from office last november his reappearance hours before monday's general election was a surprise so was what he said he says he won't be voting for the real exotic vs the party he laid for so long or endorse his successor. it's. very indecently. drew drew our viewers. i hope. the and the true remembrance of two or three might say. rocked yes. i think it's just. the leader of the main opposition nelson chamisa says he welcomes every vote he can
2:19 am
get it is not my duty as a candidate to going to choose voters we're not going to this election to choose what is candidate we are going to be chosen so if someone says they are likely to have a favorable disposition in my favor we're mine to deny that extra vote that will make the fundamental win that we want women. the ninety four year old says being forced from office by the army was unconstitutional he is one of the last of the race and traitor an african politician to support the sales that has influence in the ruling party and what he says could influence how some people vote. and the opposition alliance has pulled in relatively large crowds at campaign rallies some analysts say monday's election could be a tight race was a major weakness might be the fact that he may have some people supporters who may still be sympathetic to robert mugabe and this for me not for him and me decide for
2:20 am
the opposition also it's a mess on the other hand as a primary challenge of having had to have a fire campaign a divided opposition but also not so much of a campaign in the rural areas of. president managua says he's confident he's going to win and that the election will be free and fair international observers who've been invited for the first time in sixteen years have said a credible poll could help in international isolation after decades of political and economic instability. he's a journalist of the voice of america's news service he joins us from washington blessings is it so very surprising that robert mugabe has offered this indorsement . of course that to some in the rulings that would be a party is made to be a surprise but the last campaign rallies opposition leader advocate knows and he had been hinting that president obama got b.
2:21 am
was going to endorse the him so i can say for those who are following these did not come as a surprise even yesterday when you start early he did say that he had the big king or former president robert mugabe this this whole thing seems to have taken on a certain surreal element instead of campaigning on the issues you've got mr milan god saying mr was close to robert mugabe than i was so therefore vote for me because one of them was less close to the center of government over all those years when robert mugabe was in power. it is very surprised again also curious the time that our president mugabe decided to come out and seemingly those mr. everyone is trying to take advantage of that
2:22 am
mr. may be thinking that there are some people within the ruling party was too big president robert mugabe and mr we understand that tempted to we did that in those mended by sending some in these areas like former foreign affairs minister or tums in b. and others but he did not we i mean you got this big thing and now he's bashing both mr mugabe and. for seeking to take the nation back what and is this indorsement from robert mugabe crucial because every opinion poll in the past twenty four hours has been saying the two main candidates are pretty much neck and neck. it is indeed. crucial one looking at the. seventy. seven percent at one time or the people who are saying they actually trusted mr mugabe
2:23 am
and he is this some point especially in the rural areas so this might be. something that is crucial to advocate because a the election is is that is to go a dead heat the last one here mr forty percent and mr. seven percent and there was a lengthy wood that there was going to be it i know which point if it happens if no one reaches fifty one votes to win outright there will be a runoff on the eighth of september one final point before we lose the satellite link we've got these reports saying that the government for some reason has decided to do away with the soldiers and the security looking after all in circling robert mugabe's harare mention what's the logic behind that because there are still clearly people inside the country who dislike him with a passion and if the election gets to the stage of people demonstrating on the
2:24 am
streets perhaps because they don't like the result he might become an obvious target that's very true so many analysts are saying it's a way of getting big i talked to to use our nephew the former minister. now in exile many think he's in nairobi kenya he did say that this was a way of telling mr guppy that they are not it be that he in those the the opposition leader blessings in washington good to talk to you thank you. thank you so much fighters overturning the northern mali and city of kid doll firing several mortars including one close to a polling station comes as millions of people cast their vote in an election has been dominated by a security concerns the threat from al qaeda and other armed groups has been escalating the president abraham peter is hoping to secure a second term but does face a challenge from the sixty eight year old somalia sisi mohamed el has the latest
2:25 am
now from barco. voting has been going on smoothly throughout the day sunday here in the modern cups of bamako and that's contrary to the expectations of some observers who just a few weeks ago have been talking about the impossibility of organizing this election and should do it and that in view of the tremendous security challenges and logistical problems during the last several weeks some groups related to al-qaeda in the islamic maghreb threatened several times to disrupt this vote and also just a task petition of ballot boxes and voter cards to somebody more areas where a big challenge for the government here so today the government can bourse that some success has been registered some is events have been reported in the north in some areas around timbuktu the ballot boxes were confiscated by unknown groups a few cases of that happened and also some shelling on a u.n. french base in agon hawk in the north but we don't know about

2:31 am
military ahead of the elections on monday robert mugabe said he'd vote for the country's opposition candidate rather than endorse those who have quotes illegally taken power. to the states because the publisher of the new york times says the u.s. president donald trump has misrepresented what happened at a private meeting they held two weeks ago earlier on sunday donald trump tweeted that he had a very good and interesting meeting at the white house with a g. sulzberger publisher of the new york times where he spent much time talking about the vast amounts of fake news being put out by the media and how that fake news has morphed into quote the enemy of the people sad exclamation mark a short time later the times published a response saying the meeting was supposed to be off the record but mr trump's tweet made it public now the times publisher that's mr sulzberger again says he except. to the invitation mainly to raise his concerns about mr trump's deeply
2:32 am
troubling and press rhetoric quotes and asked him not to attack whited journalism if he was unhappy with coverage of his presidency let's get more on this joining us on the news daniel lipman he's a reporter for politico dot com as daily newsletter known as the play book he joins us from washington daniel is it so shocking that what the meeting comes across as being to donald trump was completely different to the other people in the room at the time you know this is not a surprise trump likes to boast about means that he has and he you know he's shamed for truth in ways that are not truthful at all and so this is a president who routinely lies to the american people you know i documented during the campaign and this has continued and a jew sold burger the publisher of the new york times is not going to take it and so he wanted to fire back and set the record straight and say that. did not agree
2:33 am
with any of that stuff that in that trump tweet ok here's the thing fake news is slightly different calling news outlets the enemy of the people enemy of the people i guess the use of that phrase ends up with newspaper offices in maryland arguably being shot up with people losing their lawyers but is it difficult for the american media to keep on reacting to that and covering it as a story i remember the first time he talked about enemy of the people there was outrage from north to east to west in the american media landscape when he said it a second a third or fourth time you guys can't cover it so much because you can't because it's boring for the viewers the listeners the readers etc and therefore it does normalize it normalizes it by default because people cannot react to it. and we should remember peter that the reason that trump is maligning the media and
2:34 am
trying to discredit us is that he is not happy with the way he has covered and with the constant scandals in terms of the moeller investigation michael cohen russia the white house palace intrigue which you have people in his own white house fighting against each other in the media using people like me and you to fettle their scores he does not want his supporters and other republicans and independents to buy into that and in many ways that's worked if you talk to most trump supporters they can't even read the new york times or c.n.n. they just believe it's fake even though the people who are in our shoes we're just trying to do our jobs you know i don't care how my reporting affects democrats or republicans i just want a good fair and accurate story and a lot of americans it's going to take
2:35 am
a long time to change their mind on trusting the media again because of trump's rhetoric and also the which is the baited abetted by fox news which you know is not very loyal to a lot of other media outlets a month interesting that daniel that you talk about the people who support donald trump i've pulled up one of his tweets see if it were the seventeen twenty seventeen donald trump said the fake news media and he lists new york times n.b.c. a.b.c. c.b.s. c.n.n. he would also add on certain international broadcast some shows that list he says they're not my enemy they're the enemy of the american people know he genuinely believes that or not i guess is slightly irrelevant is it that base that you've just been talking about you know if you talk to them they generally come back now eighteen months into this presidency with a stance that says i don't care i'd still vote for him. yeah ninety percent of people who voted for trump they would catch that same vote today
2:36 am
it might be in some sense that they don't want to admit that they some of them might have been made a mistake in voting for trump the ironic thing peter is that trump has courted the new york media for decades he used to plant stories in the new york post he loves that read in the new york times he tries to cater to them sometimes and plant stories in top publications because you know just like any other powerful figure you he read the paper he wants to be seen in a good light and so he really cares about the times and so it's a little rich sometimes that he criticizes the media because he you know if you talk to some people who cover the white house if he was in any job there job he'd want to be a white house correspondent because it's just so much fun and he wants to be at the center of the action if we assume for a second that fake news doesn't really exist of course there are instances you and
2:37 am
i could talk about them you know where reporters get it wrong but they correct themselves in print on twitter etc but how does donald trump kind of get himself out from underneath this losing of the fake news media that you know from our vantage point where we are right now doesn't really exist but also how does the media gets itself from underneath the weight of this given that for example you know put three four days ago apparently he spent the dummy on board air force one because maloney a trump had the t.v. tuned in to c.n.n. and he's so you know full of i don't want to see that it's fox news or nothing at all. i think you know the media has to pay attention to what is happening in the midwest in the south of the country and really respond to the concerns they have about globalization and trade in the media was
2:38 am
caught flatfooted a couple years ago when trump was elected because we didn't see that the. tide was coming this wave was was rolling to help electrum and in terms of trump's own behavior i don't think it's going to change as long as he gets critical coverage he is still going to blast the media because he sees that as a way to almost inject him to himself into the story more and you know we're not going to win the meter not going to shape our coverage one way or another we're not going to go to anti trying to neg to pro trump to try to mollify him we're just doing our jobs and we have you know all of us have our own you know readership viewership base that we answer to and so that's that's our higher loyalty and. the whole fake news term the real fake news is produced from russian bought and in from macedonia and eastern europe. not from the newsrooms of
2:39 am
top american outlets so that's just that term should be changed in how we view things told me to interrupt you daniel is going to wrap up with a comment just saying that's a whole different interview to be done at some point in the future i suspect daniel lipman in washington for us thanks so much. thank you. tens of thousands of people living in the indian state of assam in the northeast of the country who fail to prove they are citizens could soon face expulsion seven million undocumented people who live there had until sunday to prove their legal residency government leaders are trying to calm fi is among residents who think their names won't be on the updated registry when it's published on monday is poll to judge a. forty five year old munawar a big boom is battling cancer and the national registry of citizens she has appeared at an n.r.c. foreigners tribunals six times to prove she's an indian citizen. seven million of
