assassination attempt. a show of force how russia's biggest rock festival is mixing music with military might. a lot of students have blocked the roads for an eighth straight day in bangladesh and their campaign may be having some effect the prime minister and house to short time ago 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 the back up police fired tear gas to break up groups we'll get the latest. in a moment but first this report from paul. student protesters have blocked streets and bangladesh for the past week they're demanding government action to improve road safety traffic accidents kill at least seven thousand bangladeshis every year two young students were knocked down and killed by

a bus last week and even though the net i'm the one we have been protesting on the roads for a few days with some of that demands with demanding justice for those students of the college coup and by a bus and we want safe roads. over the weekend the peaceful protests became violent when police tried to break up the crowds demonstrators were further incensed by a government minister who questioned why there was uproar about two deaths in bangladesh and a lack of anger about thirty three dead in a bus crash in india the previous day i'm not sitting on a subway i'm the government that's out there we all are feeling threatened we wanted a peaceful protest we don't want any trouble occurring around here yet rubber bullets were shot on our brothers at mirco neighborhood they were dispersed one told us the government ordered schools and bus services to shut down the government's trying to quell the violence by cutting internet services to cripple social media and censoring both bangladeshi and international media on the topic

a lot of them of the pro-government students attacked us we broke the locks of a building around fifty boys and girls took shelter there and now the journalists how to us to leave the place the police fired tear gas and used the tongs pro-government students also attacked and roughed up at those. government leaders say they're going to implement the streets demands for improved road safety but more protests are feared as both the ruling in opposition parties campaign for elections due in december john al jazeera all ten here chad he joins us live now from the town of a way to things says stand in a moment in. well i mean a shocks cry right about two blocks away from there things are relatively calm the students are not in the street at this time of the night but it's very tense in the city there's no public buses there's been a very nightmare scenario for the general commuters average income people who rely

on public bus to commute from one end to out of the end of the city that hasn't been any bus plying on the road the bus owners have also gone on strike they said we don't feel secure plus a majority of the bus don't have the fitness study pick at many of our most of the drivers don't have valid driver's license and this is a police crackdown week so they're scared to feel like their boss will be seen but this is causing a real problem for the commuter in the city that people are relying on try will wreck shows or school or stall even walking to and fro from work back and forth plus the situation on the ground as far as journalists community goes they're very tense what happened last two days deadly five journalists were beaten up among them was journalist. he was very badly beaten up by the pro-government supporters in front of the police without any intervention the same thing happened to a few other journalists there was no intervention for a similar incident happened by five journalists was big enough female journalist

was also a bit of not she was drugged and molests said there was no intervention from the police the prime minister in a press conference today criticize a segment of the media for their coverage of the event and she said some people are trying to freshen the cloudy water the home minister made a statement today but a stern warning to everyone who is trying to test the patience of the government. taken a very strong stand and we'll probably not allow anyone to demonstrate anymore on this issue a very social issue is about traffic safety it's now taking a political town there's a back and forth between the political parties even the opposition criticize the government for cracking down on teenage students and the government saying that the opposition who capitalized on that and manipulated the process. in the election year of course at the very time the government is very sensitive and nervous about opposition wants to also carry out a demonstration in the street they're not getting permission but considering

everything put together this has been a negative point at least from public point of view in social media and people we talked in the street that these were children of thirteen years from the one years old the government shouldn't have cracked down like this and make the pain and some people say that they have been too long in the state average people who are suffering to commute back and forth but but generally most population in the thirty eight with that we spoke to where in favor of this student thing that we need some sort of traffic that's the plain considering everything we have to see if the students again able to mobilize and cut. and what happened to them not only the traffic issues. all right we'll leave it there ten we chant real life we're staring back and we have you stay safe as you continue to fall on this story for us now a tsunami warning has just been lifted in the indonesian islands of lombok and bali the warning was put in place after a magnitude seven earthquake struck off the coast of long island just over two

hours ago and this is the same ireland where a trauma last week killed sixteen people and hundreds and injured hundreds of others dozens of families lost their homes was steadfast and joins us now from indonesia's capital jakarta so step what are you hearing there about this. yes exactly it's one week after that cultural earthquake hits lombok and now than it has been reported again on lombok island and also on bali it was very strongly felt on both islands a lot of tourists also on those islands at the moment in the peak season a lot of all tolled damage reported from the small of villages in the north of lombok and all to the west of lombok but the real accent of the damage will only getting clearer in the morning because it's already night there and most of the authorities have been busy trying to evacuate people from the north and also to western beaches of lombok because of the tsunami warning the tsunami warning has

now been lifted but a small a very tiny piece to nami has happened of not more than fifty centimeters high but a lot of concerns of course about the people who have been in those villages also already destroyed by last week's earthquake many of them were still sleeping and staying on the streets because they were too afraid to go back into their houses but of course that you can imagine the panic and trauma for these people going through all this again and this earthquake actually is a lot wider the area as wide as also was strongly felt at the international airport which was closed for a while that is now open again for passengers to fly out of lombok and given that the this quake it appears to be stronger than they do in the previous one was what's the sense that you're getting of of how well prepared or equipped to the government is to deal with this. well i have to say i just came back from a long walk to be honest after the first earthquake and the government is really

very much in control of the situation there unfortunately of course there is a lot of experience with earthquakes here in indonesia but i have to assist them that they immediately sat up so there were a lot of rescue workers on the scene at the moment at that time and also there was this a thousandth of more than a thousand tourists were actually in there climbing a volcano last week when the earthquake hit and they all had to be evacuated and one person that idea but more than a thousand people were rescued safely from that will kill you know of course now there's a lot of concern about more damage so of course the government and your storage of scrambling to get to these people as soon as possible steverson life first there in jakarta egypt says its military has killed fifty two people and arrested dozens in an ongoing crackdown in the sinai region egypt launched an offensive in february to target armed groups in the sinai the nahr delta and the western desert the campaign

involves the army navy air force and police the air force says it's also destroyed vehicles loaded with weapons while trying to infiltrate the country's western the border with libya. israel's prime minister has defended the controversial new nation state law but is trying to reassure the druze community at a cabinet meeting benjamin netanyahu said the law is meant to protect israel's status as a jewish state on saturday israel's druze community led a huge rally in a central tel aviv square against the law and they're angry that it defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language. isn't about the moon shall only you do 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 haunt 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 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 from all religions and its new cities andrew symonds has more now from west jerusalem. really benjamin netanyahu statement before the cabinet meeting doesn't move things on the committee he mentioned was already known about what it's going to do is a bit hazy and there is no breakthrough in talks with the minorities he did make a reference to the nation state nor remaining in place to mend it nor will he certainly won't get rid of it but he did say that it is democratic and that was an address not to the druze as such it was to all the israeli jews who were present at that vast demonstration they just came along some just passing by wanted to see

what was happening others intent on having their say apart from the political parties who some would regard as the usual suspects attaching to this sort of resistance to the government now where does this all lead well more protests and more pressure on benjamin netanyahu but it would appear he will continue to resist as long as he has the right numbers on the side in the knesset the parliament which is in recess right now but will be pulled back for days discussion of this on wednesday no voting rights there that now we have a situation where the security cabinet will be meeting later on sunday afternoon and discussing the whole issue of gaza and the u.n. special envoy nicole i'm led in off who has been desperately trying to get agreement between egypt of the house in gaza and israel well the situation there is that there is some sort of proposal on the desk of ministers here in

jerusalem and we will may well see some sort of indicator from these rated later on as to what happens unclear what the viewpoint is there are some optimistic opinions coming out of gaza or it would seem and indeed possibly kyra but nothing really in print yet nothing publicly that is to suggest that. going to happen whether it's going to fail with just carry on in the way. of the u.s. government denied having anything to do with an explosion that venezuela's president says want to tell was an attack on his life national security adviser john bolton says nicolas maduro accusations are unfounded with respect to what happened last afternoon could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the itself to something else he's made accusations accusing the outgoing president of columbia responsibility of what he calls the extreme right

wing in venezuela that means the vast opposition to his authoritarian rule and he's blamed financer is in the united states these are things he's said before and you have to take them for what they're worth if the government of venezuela has hard information that they want to present that would show a potential violation of u.s. criminal law we'll take a serious look at it but in the meantime i think what we really should focus on is the corruption and the oppression of the majority in venezuela u.s. national security advisor john bolton that will the duro was speaking at a military parade in the capital caracas when the blasts interrupted the event mike hanna reports on that. that's the life boat cost of the ceremony on national television the camera begins to shake and president maduro looks into the as explosions before the cut. soldiers who had been on parade or seeing the in panic number reported to be injured in the blasts. only investigation as evidence

that shows those that didn't in the constitution of the go in the public knew. that a group calling itself the last day for and their last claimed responsibility in a series of tweets this one with the phrase time is running out a few hours after the attack president maduro addressed the nation saying right wing groups within the country were responsible but also accusing the colombian president. of involvement there looking for america i have to inform you that some of those who carried out the attack against me today have already been apprehended and they are now being processed in nothing although the they tried to assassinate me and i have no doubt that everything points to the right the venezuelan ultra right in alliance with the colombian ultra right and that the name of juan manuel santos is behind this attempt president maduro praying to victory in elections earlier this year but his political opponents insisted the process was rigged many

venezuelans hold him accountable for a major economic collapse that could see the inflation rate hit one million percent by the end of the year mike hanna. a lot more still ahead on al-jazeera when we come back the growing on rest in ethiopia's east and some of the regions federal troops try to take control. and flying solo manufacturers' rush to deliver planes to iran for a u.s. sanctions deadline. welcome back let's look at the weather across central southern parts of china and taiwan and you can see in the supplementary some shower clouds there some if any intense downpours likely but quite a spell of weather for the most part hong kong actually should be fairly bright

meanwhile i think the heaviest rain still for coastal parts of miramar and bangladesh nice ests of india also seen some very heavy rain which continues as we head on through to choose they so expect to work one in yang gong across into south asia and here across more eastern areas we've seen some pretty intense rain for the shots came in from very nasty banks the ganges river and you see the extent of the flooding which is being caused there well certainly more heavy rain is likely in the forecast last twenty four hours also produced some pretty intense rainfall across this region some decent rainfall still being reported down through the west coast to the right material but look at the forecast is across the east where we see the circulation the bear. particular where delhi will see some shower activity to but meanwhile in pakistan it should be fine for crouchie with highs of thirty two here in the arabian peninsula pretty warm in doha highs of forty five but enough pretty sikkim the humidity values well down as it head on through into

so-called surrender deals but the syrian government's ally russia appears to be giving turkey a chance to what it called stabilize the province turkey is being asked to fulfill agreed commitments in the so-called fast enough process. has been accepting responsibility for the situation in. expected to fight terrorists. russia says turkey was supposed to expel or dissolve the heater sham the group formerly known as al nasra as well as what our city in the syrian branch of al qaida those fighters are designated as terrorists by the international community they are powerful and they have in the past we checked the ultimatums to disband. that all turkey wants to avoid military action so it's using the threat of military

action to force will start to disband the announcement that see a rebel groups are united on the one command is an example. part of it lived lies on the border with turkey which wants to avoid any military offensive that would cause human suffering further displacement and the collapse of the ass and a process there. for three years especially in the sunni area. syrian army. started. for months now members of the so-called radical groups have been targeted in unclaimed attacks that some link to a campaign to eliminate the province from foreign fighters disagreements over at liberty turkey and russia were evident during talks on syria and saw the province was not mentioned in the final statement it live was mentioned in a separate statement issued by turkey's foreign ministry emphasizing that the

province's status as a deescalation zone must be preserved turkey's military presence won't deter campaigns on the fringes of it lip that are aimed at opening highways linking government controlled cities and preventing attacks on the russian and syrian military in nearby latakia province that is likely what russia syria and boy meant when he said there are no plans for a large scale assault on it live for now russia and turkey still need each other but this time around government leaders in ankara may be given limited time to deliver. beirut three soldiers from the czech republic have been killed in a suicide attack in afghanistan they were serving with the nato force in eastern part one province north of kabul one u.s. and two afghan soldiers have also been injured it is the first time in more than a year the three nato service members have been killed in a single incident in afghanistan. european manufacturers are rushing to deliver

airliners to iran a day before u.s. sanctions are re-imposed thirteen of twenty eight planes four from the franco italian company have landed in iran iranian leaders say the same sions are endangering lives by blocking new aircraft as well as spare parts for its aging fleet. iran signed a five hundred thirty six million dollar deal with eighty on air bus and boeing of already pulled out of iran during the ninety day wind down period after donald trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal iran and was planning to buy thirty eight billion dollars worth of new jets from them zain has more from tehran. well it has to be said any time something like this happens the delivery of new aircraft it is a positive thing it's a happy occasion in iran many officials were at the international airport to celebrate the arrival of five more new planes but let's look at the real numbers here in the grand scheme of things it's just

a drop in the bucket these planes five of them each of them can carry between seventy and eighty people and they've got five they wanted to buy from airbus and 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 have directly affected people's lives and it was going to be a win win for civilian air travel within the country and outside of iran and it was going to be a win for the government who could say to their people look we made this deal and now we've got better plane safer planes for you to travel around in but that is not happening and that's another frustration that people here are feeling because of those u.s. sanctions a rock music festival in russia has lots of heavy metal on show and it's not just on stage tens of thousands of fans flock to see their favorite bands and some of russia's latest weapons i mean is there. it's a summer staple for many russians just being is the largest rock festival some also call it russia's woodstock a yearly appointment with the finest of the country's music scene. which. has been missed for the past three seasons it's amazing. that you can like hear

your favorite musicians all your favorite musicians in one place the festival started two decades ago after the fall of the soviet union but recently it also became an exhibit ground for the most unlikely of institutions the russian ministry of defense its presence felt from the air with the performance of the russian knights aerobatic team to do the life of middle. class the story of this is the love we think it's not just the pride professed the whole country the presence of the ministry of defense is the sponsorship or some kind of special cream and that's a story which came to life because people are interested in taking part in a by the ministry of over the past five years the ministry expanded its presence from air shows to a full on display of power it might be surprising to have a military exhibit at a rock festival but these days in russia there's

a great sense of national pride and ask anyone here they will credit that feeling to the army. some of the new is equipment and weapons are shown here like this armored personnel vehicles already in use by the infantry division here such piece of modern hardware has a different purpose but the ability of normal we want to show people young men in particular what kind of equipment we have and what our army is capable of when people want to see this up close patriotism increases when you see them you get some kind of pride for your country for your fatherland and you are confident in tomorrow some artists pull out in protest but many big names like the. lead singer of minutes one of the most famous russian bands indorse the festival nothing like that happens at the european festivals but because the because the

russian society some of the tryst were so fond of victory parades and we can never escape it's so basically i decided for myself just accept it at this festival. it's not clear whether this marriage of music and military is a spontaneous one or it was in pose but it's the detail that many here seem to care about the depth of hamid al jazeera. festival. and has i'm saying let's get a roundup of the headlines on al-jazeera the prime minister of bangladesh has announced a road safety campaign as students demonstrated for the eighth successive day to demand improvements to students were killed by a speeding bus last week at least five tear gas to break up demonstrators earlier on sunday a magnitude seven earthquake has hit off the coast of long island in indonesia
