assassination attempt during a military rally on his for the first trophy of the new english football season is already up for grabs premier league champions manchester city about to take on chelsea for the community shield. students have blocked roads for an eighth straight day in bangladesh and that campaign may be having some effect the prime minister and house a short time ago the police are launching a drive to in their words bring discipline on the roads the roads in the capital were blocked by protesters again on sunday and in several places around dhaka police fired tear gas to break up groups we'll get to that in a moment but first this report from paul chandler again. student protesters have blocked streets and boggled us for the past week they're demanding governor. action
4:02 pm
to improve road safety to young students were knocked down and killed by a bus last week traffic accidents kill at least seven thousand bangladeshis every year and even though the net i'm going on what we've been protesting on the roads for a few days with some of out the months we had demanding justice for those students of the college killed by a bus and we want safe roads. over the weekend the peaceful protests became violent when police tried to break up the crowds rubber bullets and tear gas or fired at demonstrators the government ordered schools and bus services to shut down bus driver say they were attacked. we stopped running our buses and students attacked and damaged our vehicles we cannot go on the roads as students who don't drive was sort of a good move by the government trying to quell the violence by cutting internet services to cripple social media and censoring both bangladeshi and international media pro-government student groups are being accused of attacking protesters i'm
4:03 pm
not even a somebody i'm going with that's actually i mean all are feeling threatened we wanted a peaceful protest we don't want any trouble occurring around here you can rub a bullet was shot on our brothers at murch her neighborhood they were dispersed one told us. and the other demonstrators were further incensed by a government minister who questioned why there was uproar about two deaths and bangladesh and a lack of anger about thirty three dead in a bus crash in india the previous day government leaders say they're going to implement the strews demands for improved road safety but more protests are feared as both the ruling in opposition parties campaign for elections due in december poll chunder john al jazeera. has just gone seven pm in dhaka tanveer chadri joins us live now from the capital so tanveer what's happening there right now. well right now the streets are still very quiet but it's very tense up people are
4:04 pm
very apprehensive what is going on. on the report was mentioned i mean there was clashes in different parts of the city several students were injured and major concerns been brought up by the journalist community at least five members of the journalist community were between a.p. photo journalist was mercilessly between in front of the police by the ruling party student when members of a lot of water journalists were also bitten and this just happened today yesterday also at least five other journalists were between including at the mill journalist who was even not only didn't but she was also molested she worked for a major living english daily now this is becoming a major concern me. journalists doing their professional work i don't know what the government's strategy is on that why the police are stand by when the journalists have been harassed and between this would be a major concern for covering an event in coming days home minister gave a sign warning against anyone who test the limits of the patience of the government
4:05 pm
the prime minister's played today in televised debates that some people are trying to catch fish and cloudy water she was even critical last segment of the media for their coverage this is quite unprecedented why should criticize the media most of the media covers the events on the ground now as far as a student goes a teenager was ranging between thirteen eighteen and twenty one years old then they don't have an organized platform to mobilize so we don't know what will happen next two days are they going to be able to mobilize and come back in the street now their protests will not going to be just the social public safety issues but as well as why they were attacked by martin leslie. fired rubber bullets at student demonstrators tear gas and were beaten up by the ruling party man this is going to be a major concern as far as politics goes because. you know the government government is very sensitive about this crank the opposition is also in very strong footing it
4:06 pm
says it needs a caretaker government for the lection it will start demonstrating very strong in the pit as well so overall the climax of politics also is heating up we'll have to see how the student reacts to that the guardians on the parents are very concerned they never expected a crackdown of this kind of teenage student in the street by the government can be a thanks for that child real life in dhaka welsh idol alum is a photographer and social activist he says the police have asked on greece to disperse on arm students. it really is that and and that energy emotion anger that has been let loose this particular incident saturday is really the viral that allowed these to go group under the pressure of the prime minister of that reforms but then renee so this is done that's also part of the reason so this time of the students did go on protests. it again it went to
4:07 pm
a situation where they cannot control it and the prime minister has promised that she will see to that in months but of course people no longer believe she has no credibility he's made promises before it's got been accepted so now they don't do it but i think what we need to look at is what's happening in the street today the police specifically asked for help from these armed goons to combat a man students who minding say roads i mean out ridiculous is that today i was in the streets there are people. in in their hands chasing students and the police standing by watching it happen in some cases they are actually helping it out i mean i've been under this warning that was you know gassing and i saw the police going ganging up trying to catch these non-students whereas these armed goons so going out wielding sticks and michette it's
4:08 pm
a walking past. and they're standing by. israel's prime minister has defended the controversial new nation state law but is trying to reassure the druze community cabinet meeting at benjamin netanyahu said the law is meant to protect israel status as a jewish state on saturday israel's jewish community let a huge rally in central tel aviv square against the more they're angry that it defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language. the state of israel is the nation state of the jewish people israel is a jewish and democratic state individual rights are anchored in many laws including the basic law of human freedom and dignity no one harmed and no one intends to harm these individual rights without the nation state law the future of israel as the jewish nation state cannot be ensured for generations to come therefore we will establish today a special ministry
4:09 pm
a committee that will advance those ties and these commitments and in parallel will also recognize those who serve in the israeli military and security services or religions and its necessities. joins me live now from. any response yet from the cabinet to demonstrations last night. really that's so do you have that statement by benjamin netanyahu ahead of the cabinet meeting that meeting is now over and we are now waiting for a security cabinet meeting to discuss other big issues more on that later but dealing with this there is really a feeling in the public of a split being polarized even more by the situation with the nation state law because what we're seeing is minorities like the druze feeling that nothing less than revoking the law will be enough or maybe an amendment now benjamin netanyahu
4:10 pm
from the tone of that address and what else he said doesn't want to know about that we're hearing more and more now about the negotiations between the druze leadership and the prime minister last week very very angry scenes it seems and even allegations by some sides that the israeli government gauged in some sort of fake news effort via social media no proof of that in full terms but certainly certainly no love lost right now it would appear that benjamin netanyahu is going to be using a classic tactic of divide and rule he can see this opposition he will portray the people you're seeing in these demonstrations as people who are against the state people or effectively subversive and of course he will use the angle of those serving in the military threatening to pull out or whatever and being threatened with suspension and pushed out harder and harder to his supporters he feels he's
4:11 pm
got enough on his side in the way of votes in the knesset and the way of support within the coalition and so therefore you're going to see more of the same politically but the street you will perhaps influence the final outcome because we will have more protests and they will continue it would seem unless there's a big break in what mr netanyahu has to say. the other story right now is is what's going on as far as gaza will the cabinet discuss the negotiations for a long term they've been discussing these negotiations for a long term ceasefire deal with ham ass in gaza. they have indeed you hit on a very serious point. not in all of the u.n. special envoy who's been shuttling between egypt's hamas in gaza and the israelis
4:12 pm
here to try to get a deal egypt has been really involved to a high level and it has to be said that there are some optimistic sounds coming out of the talks right now we're at a stage at this instance when the papers are on the desk of the israeli security cabinet that's intelligence officials high level ministers top brass from the military there in session later on on sunday the cabinet meeting discussing other issues is over there has been no statement after that so we await to see what if anything the israeli security cabinet will announce after its session now there are lots of options and one of them is that the israelis may put this back into the egyptian courts but to the egyptians with some demands whether they'll be made public is unclear but there could be a stage by stage deal in which israel will open the border crossings and make
4:13 pm
things easier in return for the for bodies of israeli soldiers being released that there's all sorts of permutations but no one knows the exact small print on any proposed deal but no one is sure of what the outcome will be or what the timeframe will be will there if there is a decision to be announcement here in israel or will there be an announcement in karo or indeed perhaps gaza where a very high level house dedication is present and having talk talks with hamas on the ground so that something is moving whether it actually moves in the direction of a longer wait isn't that girls are people really really hopeful hope. for some sort of long term suspension of hostilities well that is not certain right now and i can't give you any further news on that until we hear something from the security council is all right for the moment andrew symonds live for us there in west
4:14 pm

boeing thirty nine billion dollars worth of planes that was approximately two hundred plus planes they were intending to buy over the next few years of those they've only taken delivery of three so while this is a positive step it's a very small one and they've got a long way to go to modernize what is effectively an aging air fleet traveling by air in iran can be a dangerous prospect hundreds of people have died in air related incidents in accidents over the last few years and really the crux of this is that since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine they've been unable to buy any new aircraft any aircraft with u.s. parts in it or developed or manufactured by the united states has effectively been unsellable to the iranian market one of the benefits that was going to be enjoyed of the twenty fifty nuclear deal directly by the civilians was going to be air travel that was ten jubal that was visible it would have been something that would
