you know i hope of finally laying the pass to rest and giving peace to the victims' families because i need to if i could just find a finger i could bury her bone hunter on al-jazeera. tens of thousands of people rally in tel aviv against a controversial nation state law that defines israel as a jewish state. hello i'm maryanne demasi in london you're with al-jazeera also coming up yemen's hoofy rebels say they used a drone to hit saudi arabia's king holiday based targeting a wrong way the kingdom uses to launch its fighter jets. a leaked report reveals pyongyang is forging ahead with its nuclear program and invading sanctions on

a massive scale. and bail denied in zimbabwe for position members who have paid in court on charges critics say are unwitting can motivated. we begin in israel where tens of thousands of people are protesting against the controversial nation state law which defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language this is the scene in tel aviv where people are waving both israeli and druze flags critics say the new law turns israel's non jewish minorities into second class citizens andrew symonds is at the demonstration in tel aviv and joins us now under tell us more about who specifically has turned out for this demonstration today. why will probably the church large numbers it has to be said for larger the many people expected of one

stage rabin square was packed german full and not just full of the druze it has to be said also full of jewish people coming to protest against the government's actions nor the solely fully in support of the true some of them but to protest against a bill with a law which they say is really racist in fact breaks all the rules of democracy this is what a few of the people have to sir. this no should be changed should be changed or marigold a citizen is a man. we cannot accept something else because we are citizen bit dark set of army our duty year and we expect from the co of the government to look to us like everybody i mean israeli jew i'm originally from the united states i'm proud to stand with my jewish brothers and sisters for equality because everyone deserves

a fair chance and safety and opportunity our message that is that we're all equal ok so where want equal rights for everyone for druids or jewish people for eg to be t.v. people for everyone. but andrew overall how much opposition is that to this legislation and is it likely to change anything. well bill says the us is difficult it's like it's a change the law that's for sure but it could change the climate the political climate the numbers are right for benjamin netanyahu to continue the way as done in the knesset for the knesset is being recalled this week in the coming days on august the eighth and it will have to debate many issues related to this lol however there will be no decisions made no hopes and therefore difficult to see

where goes from here it depends on whether protests like this will continue it has to be said it's a rare event the druze to gather in such large numbers travelling very long distances from northern galilee and coming to have their say there's another aspect to it as well and that is that the druze are necessarily build together on the issue of military service not a soul it was a druze leadership that agreed with the israeli government a long time ago that it would take. compulsory service now the drews amount to two percent and the israeli arabs amount to twenty percent so there are a larger grouping of two groupings don't get on whatsoever but israeli arabs will be protesting as well with the arab list in the knesset who called for this callback of of parliament in the coming days and furthermore we're seeing an interesting situation with the jewish public in the way they've turned up for this

demonstration some just passing by to listen and look but many coming here with the intent and intent to protest yes it's the left yes it's liberals the ordinary folk young and old have also turned up for this demonstration we've spoken to a number of them as you saw earlier in part of that vox pop but also it has to be said that they are impatient with the government in terms of not only its direction but the way it is dealing with this situation of resistance from minority groupings it would appear that netanyahu in turn intends to railroad any objections by portraying all of the people here as somewhat extreme in the way they go about things and also any of the left and other parts of the opposition as being really not on the right side and being disloyal to the jewish cause so remains to be seen

it's hard to answer that question it's not just outlined but watch this space resistance can climb and reach higher numbers change can happen through movements who knows but at the moment very little chance of any political change on the floor all right thank you very much anderson is with all the latest from nap right hass in tel aviv. now here's the rebels in yemen say they've attacked taking khalid ebay since out in saudi arabia using an armed cuss if one drone if they say they targeted a runway used by the saudi an m rashid a coalition to launch as strikes on yemen the rebels unveiled a cost of one drone last year and have previously used it to attack a saudi aramco facility and an airport in saudi arabia i'm going to doe has the latest from neighboring djibouti

a spokesman for the who fought to say that they are tucked out of runway on the king's college in the south of so that a b. which is mainly used by sodhi and. fly to jets to carry out the talks on the positions of filthy fighters inside yemen he called the targets justified and said this is a rule and that they were fighting so d. and u.e. attempts to try and impose an popular government all the people of yemen it's not the first time who with the fight is claimed to have cut of alpha talks deep in saudi and you eat territory last week they claim total tucked up or defined to be in the saudi couple realities on that one sixth of july they say that kind of out on a toc or international airport something that was quickly didn't i buy you a officials if it is true that they've been cutting out these talks it tells you

that the who's who fights us up to the teeth on the so you equally should family believes that it's iran that is supplying the who fight us with these but weapons one of the reasons why they are cutting out the talk on the city of they do that and want the huth used to see it is a port which they have been using to rearm themselves. a u.n. report says north korea is still building nuclear weapons and engaging in illegal trade all in violation of international sanctions meanwhile the u.s. and north korea say that all of that disarmament dale was enjoying reports on the rainy diplomatic tensions around. north korea promised the u.s. in june that it was committed to ridding the peninsula of all nuclear weapons but experts monitoring north korea's disarmament efforts have just given the u.n. security council a report saying kim jong un is breaking his promise and violating other

international sanctions in the process the expert's report says the north continues to build nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles and it's still illegally trading in oil coal textiles and weapons it's also making deals the report says with movie fighters in yemen the syrian government and libyan rebels at the all see on security forum in singapore u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o told reporters it's clear the north koreans are violating international sanctions including the complete shutdown of illegal ship to ship transfers of petroleum destined for north korea we have seen reports that russia is allowing for joint ventures with north korean firms and granting new work permits to north korean guest workers pump a zero and foreign minister re on hold greeted each other during the singapore meeting just as the u.s. was imposing new sanctions on to north koreans illegally doing business in russia

later accused the u.s. of not acting in good faith. in order to build full confidence between the d.p. r. k. and the u.s. it is essential for both sides to take similar taney its actions and phase steps to do what is possible one after another what is alarming however is the insistent moves manifest it within the us to go back to the old far from its leaders intention. some critics of trump and singapore summit in june say the u.s. did not demand enough accountability from north korea and so this new u.n. report really is no surprise many of us will be watching this very closely understand of mutual behavior deception is part of its business model if you like and so you've been very skeptical all along about north korea in stepping up to in . the spirit of its commitments that has articulated over the last few months the

expert's report on north korea has not been officially released but the linked report is raising new questions about whether p.r. is serious about giving up its nuclear weapons program and about whether the international community has the will and the ability to make it do so rosalyn jordan al-jazeera at the united nations more than twenty opposition supporters in zimbabwe have been denied bail after being arrested and charged with inciting public violence six people were killed on wednesday when soldiers opened fire to protest against alleged vote rigging in monday's election malcolm webb is in the capital harare but. police say these people were responsible for election violence in harare on wednesday the supporters of zimbabwe's main opposition party the movement for democratic change people have been charged with inciting violence and refused bail. and d.c. officials say the charges a politically motivated because the government's trying to prevent

welcome back a quick look at the top stories now thousands of israelis many of them from the minority druze community are protesting against the controversial nation state law it defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language the rebels in yemen say they've launched a drone strike on an ad base in southern saudi arabia they say they targeted a runway used by the saudi an m.r.i. coalition to launch strikes on yemen and north korea's foreign minister has criticized u.s. demands for full denuclearization before sanctions can be lifted meanwhile a leaked u.n. report suggested the north is continuing its nuclear and missile programs. now brazil's jailed former leader luisa naseer relate to silva has been nominated as the candidate his party in october his election is currently serving twelve years in prison for money laundering and corruption polls suggest he remains the most popular leader in brazil daniel china has more from south korea. from the outside

many might be surprised that the former president luiz inacio lula da silva has been selected as the candidate by his workers' party the standing in october's elections they're convinced he is the man for the job he is the man to take brazil out of the current economic slump political problems it is suffering now almost in some ways putting to one side the fact he is in prison in the southern city of could achieve serving a twelve year prison sentence for corruption the money laundering charges and even if he were allowed out even if they let him out on the writ of habeas corpus to continue the appeals against that sentence it's still not clear whether he would be eligible to stand. by intellectual cause a lot of ifs buts and maybes in this equation in the meantime the other parties the other candidates put him in names forward ahead of sunday's deadline for the october elections most notably the former environment minister in.

his government and also right wing the maverick candidates in many eyes. a figure who attracts a great deal of controversy but is gaining in the opinion polls so the brazilian electorate feeling they don't have many options more than hoffa said not knowing who they are going to vote for going to move vote for none of the candidates or those voting is obligatory so it's a great deal of uncertainty in these two months and so the elections. spanish authorities say they've rescued two hundred twenty three refugees trying to cross the mediterranean four boats were found in spanish waters on saturday bring the number rescued to close to fifteen thousand since the end of may spain has become a preferred destination for migrants after italy shut its ports to aid groups in june or the german government has begun opening what it calls and has sent us for refugees to a place for them to stay while their asylum applications are being processed ministers say the shelters can speed up the asylum process but critics are saying

they further isolate the refugees dominic kane reports from one of the new centers in bavaria. on a hot day in august people queue to enter the regensburg and care center right now this is their home inside a series of residential blocks makeshift children's play areas and offices kitchens with ample space to feed the hundreds of people expected there are classrooms where children will be encouraged to learn german all part of an effort to ease the worries of people who status remains undecided reverdy said no it's not what. you did but if they keep telling me to wait every week every day the police come to deport people to finland iraq syria sweden what is that everyone is afraid they'll get sick if they stay in here every day we're stressed about getting deported we don't need anything from here i just want to stay here in germany and work and make

a good life for myself. in fact this center has been housing migrants and refugees for some time meaning not much is really new here other than the name analysts say the principle of the scheme is to bring all the migrants in the agencies processing them into one manageable area the centers were sold as integration and some of these elements i think the centralization of different authorities in one place could be a good innovation but to what extent will it happen the next month have to show something the man who came up with the plan will be particularly keen to see. is. the point is to maintain order while preserving humanity we need to balance readiness to help with what is actually possible to achieve no country can take an unlimited number of refugees. the federal government clearly believes that institutions like this one and the other six being set up are an answer to the

migration crisis but still the question over civil liberties about the access people have in these institutions is something that's really playing on the minds of many people not least the families in this center many of whom have been living with uncertainty for a long time dominic cain zerah reagan spoke a muslim woman in denmark has become the first person in the country to be charged with wearing a full face veil in public she came to the police's attention after a fight broke out between her and another woman who try to tear off her veil the woman wearing the covering has been fined one hundred fifty dollars a ban on the full face veil came into effect on wednesday. well lena lawson is the project director of the oslo coalition on freedom of religion or belief at the university of oslo she says this law won't help with integration or peaceful

coexistence and i believe that this law in general to legalize clothing. look productive all to obtain. and wanted in any society if one we have over the experience we've got the country has forced people to where the job. has probably been and now when europe we have the prohibition against him and i don't think this octane any. productive aim of integration or peaceful coexistence or. gun control supporters in the u.s. have marched on the headquarters of the powerful lobby group the national rifle association calling for tighter legislation on firearms rob reynolds is at the protest in fairfax virginia. a large group of people have gathered outside the headquarters of the national rifle association in suburban washington they are

demanding changes in the nation's gun laws and here you can see that on the ground here are photographs of some of the people who have recently died as a result of gun violence this of course adding a great emotional punch to this event there are also a number of people here are issuing or stressing their support for the n.r.a. and disputing with some of the members of the crowd but the police have kept them at quite a distance from the main crowd so it's been an entirely peaceful event this is an outgrowth of the march for our lives movement that began after the slayings at marjorie stoneman douglas high school in florida earlier this year students from that group are supporting this rally they've also been traveling around the country in a bus caravan trying to get people organized to vote on issues of gun control what

they would like to see among other things is a comprehensive. ban on assault weapons in the united states universal background checks of all people including people who sell guns privately or in so-called launch shows as well as an end to the issue that recently came to the fore of three d. principle guns all these things that people here say are leading to mass carnage in the united states we had an opportunity to talk to a lady who's who lost her husband in the recent killings at a newspaper in an apple is my husband works in the sale in town where the men's to wear pink shorts and it was a bucolic lovely little town. and it happened there and have. and in elementary schools it happens in high schools happens in movie theaters there's nowhere

doesn't happen anymore and so we can't afford to be complacent if we want to be safe we need to just to be sensible gun control and come out of our corners with our dukes down and find out where we agree because i think there's lots of room for agreement here. in addition to demanding stricter gun laws people here are mounting a strong drive to register people to vote and to vote on this issue including young people the age for voting in the united states is eighteen years old eighteen year olds do not have a strong a record of voting in great numbers but the people here who are organizing this and events like it hope to change that. a helicopter has crashed in siberia killing eighteen people it's believed it hit congo which was being carried by another helicopter before crashing the second aircraft landed safely those helicopters black boxes have been recovered and will be sent to moscow for analysis. protesters
