what extent is the country exposed to exploitation by a profit driven multinational corporation. with. zero. hello there i'm julie went on this is the news hour live from london coming up. rockets are launched from gaza into an israeli time israel conducts at least ten strikes in gaza. the united states says it will impose sanctions against russia over a nerve agent attack on expiry in bristol. the difference between canada and saudi arabia gathers steam with canadian prime minister justin trudeau speaking up

over human rights. because former first lady arrives told not to be granted amnesty and released from detention over her role in a civil war. in sports chelsea agree a world record free for a goalkeeper to sign out. and let that form a new born cultural get his wish of a transfer to royal madrid. israeli warplanes that carried out airstrikes in gaza after dozens of rockets were launched from the palestinian territory into an israeli town israel's military says thirty six well kids have been fired into israel in the past few hours but that it's managed to intercept several of them israel also confirmed as launch strikes targeting twelve hamas sites well under seven says live for us in gaza hi there

andrew do we have any idea about the destruction in gaza in terms of casualties and so on. because it is unclear at this stage in fact what we have is three. people injured no indication as to whether they fight is all civilians but it would seem that this has been primarily attacks upon the military targets we understand that something like twenty strikes have been reported not all of them confirmed but certainly here in gaza city a number of alakazam brigade that's the military wing of hamas barracks bases have been hit it is procedural the fight says to evacuate that bases when rockets are being fired not only rockets have been fired israel is report more to fire some parts of the strip out across to

a number of targets in his ready towns number of twelve in fact you've seen that picture of a rocket landing in steroids which was in fact. the start of the whole sequence of events now is this posturing in a strange sort of way ahead of a deal being signed well the intensity of this bombardment on the gaza strip by the israeli air force is not a good indicator there are some negative signs coming from cairo two newspapers reporting the deals are under huge stress if not collapse now that is far too early to confirm but certainly a nickel i'm not enough the. u.n. special envoy in the talks for a long term cease fire is actively trying to get in touch and really really talk to the military both sides that is according to is there

a source in cairo furthermore egypt is media. we can confirm trying to mediate a cease fire a temporary truce right now so that the negotiations can be held in a calmer atmosphere now coming back to those rockets fired out we have a total of twelve israeli and israeli report suggests that. the number of of injuries is around fourteen who mildly injured possibly just through shock but two injured and then we have as i say some uncertainty about the numbers here in gaza because you hear the siren there now because we've had some close hits here and quite nearby on the beach and that is known to be because some brigades barracks and also in the east of gaza one factory

has been hit as well a bit a lot of the attacks have been on open ground the reason for that normally is to. rock the ground and destroy tunnels but this is intense no doubt about it if it's effectively what some people call the last saurabh before signing a deal then it is surprisingly intense and you that was going to be my next question tightening wise why now you know why are we seeing these vulcans going over from gaza into israel but right now. well you'd have to be a political scientist to give yourself a little thought of answer on that and the to military specialist as well it could be for a number of reasons but it appears right now that the talks you know would effectively on track we heard from imus only a matter of about five hours ago out of cairo where

a senior delegation of arrived on a trip in having spent more than a week here in gaza intensity going through the documents being produced in all of these talks israel had read it read it and given a response but not gone public with what it felt all that was was a military response saying that they would be responding to anything that was thrown at them will those a fact anyway and so you had a situation whereby israel was the unknown in all of this had been fostering to some degree by making fairly. fairly threatening statements especially in view of an attack that happened on the on the gaza strip border where two fights as from the al qassam brigades shot dad wasn't shot dead but hit by a tank of fire in response to them firing now they were firing in a fact of

a training exercise of the military passing out parade this was a training barracks now the response that was the israelis did say that they accepted it that these shots were not fired at them now this is reason i explain this is that the what we've heard from in a tweet from how brigades. the saving that effectively it was saying we made a mistake like you made a mistake oh we we fired these two rockets now that all this leave wasn't a serious statement however it indicated the nature of what was going on. perhaps in terms of other information we're just hearing from sources about about the brigade's we have one response from islamic jihad in which they say effectively that the the war will continue it's it's not it's not a troll it's all peaceful we should we should protect people

and we will retaliate now nothing from hamas itself yet and certainly the mood here is extremely tense with screaming sirens earlier on the drone you can hear the drone above all the time the the roar of the f. sixteen jets coming down. dropping bombs on that sockets they do seem to have been positioned talks but it's too early to tell as to whether or not there are civilian injuries and deaths anderson is there live from down under thank you for that update the u.s. says it will impose sanctions against russia because of an attack on annex spine burson earlier this year the state department says russia used a chemical weapon to trying to assassinate surrogates going to power the former russian spy and his daughter were poisoned by the nerve agent know which all consoles free in march the kremlin has denied any involvement let's get more from she had pretense in washington d.c.

hi there shihab what more do we know about why the u.s. has made this decision. right we should be clear this isn't based on any new u.s. intelligence or u.s. investigation into the script oh incident but we've known for a long time that the u.s. administration's position has been to agree with the british investigation into the script of poisoning and the british clearly say that they believe the russians were involved independent persecutors or not who was responsible and russia as you said denies involvement so the u.s. already expelled sixty diplomats because of the british contention that the russians were involved and under u.s. law once that determination is made to the russians were responsible the u.s. is bound by law to impose sanctions all for a set amount of time about several bouts from after several weeks so the u.s. is a bit late in imposing these sanctions but these sanctions now will be imposed by the

end of august under congressional more pertaining to chemical and biological weapons so what that means is there will be what's called a presumption of denial on any export requests for goods that the u.s. deems to have potential national security implications they gave the example of turbines and other through other sort of quipping calibration equipment wasn't entirely clear what that meant but it does seem that i mean the sort of dual use potential goods i suppose things that can be used for military purposes. it may have a huge effect the state department said because a large proportion they said that actually over fifty percent of commerce department export licenses include at least one such potential national security item in the requests so this may affect hundreds of millions of dollars in trade for the for the russians and shihab it's kind of confusing picture right now of u.s. russian you know the u.s. you russian relationship it seems on the one hand that trump and the administration or trump particularly it's sort of warming up to thirteen and then on the other

hand we see this. right in fact actually if you look at the actions of the trumpet administration and the opinions of those around donald trump we've seen a hardening of positions against russia is quite clear and all the national security assessments we see see from the pentagon or the state department that that under the trumpet ministration russia has leapt to the top along with china as the main strategic strategic enemies of the united states and indeed when you look at the actions of the trumpet ministration from allowing the supply of lethal weapons to ukraine to to to actually increasing money to a european defense initiative specifically against the russians i mean all sorts of things even pulling out the iranian nuclear deal all of these things are against russian interests however as you say donald trump himself as a person obama did as well as we said and some national security advisers say you

know has been trying to forge a closer link with russia perhaps to counter china perhaps for all sorts of reasons clearly that it's a conspiracy theories here that suggest that you know russia has dirt on him and so on but the north quite sure about any of that what's what's motivating donald trump born you look at simply at the actions of the troubled ministration we have seen actually a hardening a hardening of positions against russia and these are just actually the latest in a raft of sanctions the trouble ministration is imposed on russia she have a chance here live from washington d.c. she had thank you canadian prime minister justin trudeau says this country will always speak strongly when it comes to questions of human rights and that's as a diplomatic spat between canada and saudi arabia over jailed civil society activists more steam we had stopped all medical treatment programs in canada on wednesday and says it will transfer all saudi patients from hospitals there. we continue to engage with the government of saudi arabia the minister of foreign affairs had

a long conversation with their foreign minister yesterday and diplomatic talks continue but as the minister has said and as we will repeat canada will always speak strongly and clearly in private and public on questions of human rights kristen slimmy has more now from toronto. prime minister justin trudeau promised that his government would continue to engage with saudi officials and acknowledge that the saudi government had made reforms in the realm of human rights but he failed to deliver the apology that saudi officials were looking for the saudi foreign minister has accused canada of meddling in a domestic internal national security issue and promised to ratchet up the pressure even further on canada so far the economic measures have been having little effect on the economy overall but it is affecting thousands of saudi nationals here in the country students people receiving medical care and medical students who've been

called back home or forced to leave the country and we heard also earlier today that the canadian muslims who are planning to travel to saudi arabia this week to attend the hottest have concerns about how they are going to get back home because saudi arabia airlines have suspended flights or will be suspended next week so many can leave but they're not sure how they are going to get back so some discussions and talk on the diplomatic front but at this stage still little progress towards resolving this dispute kristensen they mean they're now in the democratic republic of congo the government sometimes to president joseph will not be standing in december's election could be able to step down from his position and twenty sixteen the elections to replace him has been repeatedly delayed triggering violent process in which dozens were killed there was widespread speculation that he would try to seek a third term instead he's backing his former interior minister. should dari who is

is the director of the africa program of the year asia group and she joins me now from washington d.c. and their warm welcome to the program thank you for your company what's your reaction to the former first lady's presidential. thank you julie for having me on you know it's not entirely a surprise it's been an issue that a lot of political act does a lot of prominent actors in code of war had been talking about for a while now. who's a president of the national assembly has been calling for the release of political prisoners beyond who's also a presidential candidate of the ruling party's partner p.c.i. has also been calling for release of political pressure prisoners we also saw the e.u. in the the report that they released recently also kind of put in pressure on what to do this so it's not entirely surprised that it's coming now how is it being seen

and i wonder. is it being considered a step too far given you know the gravity of her alleged crimes. i don't think so i mean so this has been an issue for real long time in court of what that people feel like only one side to the conflict has been prosecuted and so you know the former president laura bob or his wife a lot of people there were loyal to him have been prosecuted and tried some by the i.c.c. some locally but no one on the side of ouattara the current president and the people who supported him have been prosecuted it was it wasn't a once it was a war a civil war means that there were probably atrocities on both sides there was a rebel group that supported the current president and so there's always been a feeling in the could avoid that this has been one sided victors just victor's

justice and so with that context it's not a step too far at all in fact most people see it as well if you're not going to try everyone implicated in human rights atrocities then better to release the people who are in jail because this is point being made as well that you know partly this is about shooting political tensions ahead of elections in twenty twenty just give us like the current political context if you will. yeah i mean certainly i think that is a part of the dynamic here so the current political context is that president ouattara is currently on his last term in office he really wants to choose his successor he really kind of wanted to install the next president and initially his strategy was to merge the ruling coalition. into one party the irish d.p. that strategy field right and so on it's now sort of it's increased the tensions in

the party as people feel like ouattara kind of wants to bulldoze it's his way into installing his successor and so in a way this move helps him both for his own credibility as sort of a you know he has this he had had this international reputation as somebody who was a good economic manager he came from the if he's been a good you know his lead could've won through years of really strong growth and the events of this past year had started to really eat away at that reputation right and so people started to see him a little bit as a power hungry african another power hungry african president and so this move really helps him maybe start to kind of claw back that credibility a bit more and you know it might ultimately he might also see it as maybe even helping him by complicated in the political environment

a bit more so if you have cmon bob will come back it would strengthen the there are the his the party that was left by a bob or potentially make more competitive election in twenty twenty and weaker and their direct to the africa program the group i'm called thanks very much for joining us thank you very much for having me. so argentina and i were cynicism debating a bill that would legalize abortions during the first fourteen weeks of pregnancy if asked the deeply catholic nation would become the third country in latin america to broadly legalize abortion well there have been widespread protests since the measure passed the lore has the last moment that america edited lucy and human found the sump date from the latest demonstration. the abortion rate here in argentina is a problem coded one move for the opposing i agree with those favor abortion rights advocates here there are. the men

they are. hoping the bush is looking for her just up the street inside the senate disease very important for all of the society because a lot of women are dying because they make their status that abortion because they want to be brothers and it's a right you can't just to be a mother or not own idea and an equal or easily go women will continue having abortions and we ask that women don't die and can have the right to a legal safe and free procedure the decision is not expected until after midnight you are here for the long argued like recusing and all right now there are real activists out on the street perhaps it's because we have to. promote our hearing likely that we will move them in the senate less than five seven years change their mind at the last minute this is the start vote in south america's second largest country and it's a debate that has both galvanized and divided public opinion in

a country where planned destiny i would say for portions of the long poles of maternal deaths. well across latin america both the catholic church and most major political parties have been against abortion for a very long time one of the countries in latin america and the caribbean cuba you a guy and the mexican capital mexico city are the only ones to allow abortion up to ten and twelve leagues however last year chile legalized abortions for certain circumstances and cases of rape or when the mother's life is endangered or a fetus is malformed brazil is currently deciding whether to legalize abortion up to twelve weeks there's a hearing in the supreme court with more than sixty experts on both sides making their case abortion however is completely banned in nicaragua honduras el salvador the dominican republic haiti and and sewer. well kathleen martina's chorale is the

latin america and caribbean director the center for reproductive rights and she joins us live now from all the time colombia a very warm welcome to the program thanks for being with us how much disappointment will there be if this doesn't pass. thank you julie for having me well if true then if tonight is is not approved this is going to be a true woman in argentina for three main reasons the first one because women are going to continue looking for unsafe and clandestine abortions the second one because they're right of two four or four men to be free and to have autonomy over their bodies is not going to be recognized in argentina and the third one because only you are men that have economical resources are going to continue accessing abortion and marginalized women are going to continue will be phase two

to look for unsafe abortions so argentina will lose a historic opportunity to to improve woman's rights in the country and kathleen if it doesn't pass what are the options then for a woman with an unwanted pregnancy. in argentina abortion is legal under three circumstances one life and health of the woman and are in danger when the pregnancy is a result of a rape or when the fetus has a mile from a shining compatible with life so women are going to continue to have access under these circumstances. is not going to be fully legalized that is why the big congress is going to the east coast today but i want to add that if today the bill is not approved by the congress one man organisations and human rights organization

in the country have already won a lot in this process because they have right now a public opinion that is father abul a for the subjects that's very important for the tree they have had a very important than social mobility station in the coal industry and they are having a huge impact in the region and a woman's in argentina iran you spear a show right now for other countries in latin america. so if more than sixty percent of argentinians especially young people i'm thinking about are in favor of legalizing abortion. why then is parliament still against. well i have to say that congress in argentina is very conservative and that our region is very concerned about the fuzz well right now we have six contras a in latino mary that have taught all criminality is a sort of abortion we have

a huge influence of the couple of the church there are multiple is tell you. to ride and that's to abortion so. having a conservative congress in argentina is not very helpful for the cause even though the public opinion is how approving the law kathleen martini's there latin american caribbean director of the center for reproductive rights thank you so much for joining us. well as much to come out much more to come on the news hour including we meet the wives and children advice they'll fight to see fear returning to their homes because of violent reprisals. from human rights icons and military apologists we examine the rise and fall of man money down some searching. in a sport in his cricket captain says his team are ready to head back in their series with england.

a report of which was no good. they don't know what but don't think they are among the tens of thousands of people who have crossed from africa to europe this year the ones that make it the lucky ones. many do not survive. amnesty international says that in june and july of this year more than seven hundred people drowned in the mediterranean an increase in deaths from the same time last year and that's despite a drop in the numbers of people making that same journey. alongside this there has also been a dramatic rise in the number of people being held in overcrowded detention centers in libya in recent months the number of detainees has shot up to four thousand four hundred in march to more than ten thousand by the end of july nearly all were taken to centers such as this after being intercepted at sea and returned to libya by the libyan coast guard. the search comes after

here were given a very graphic illustration of the lengths to which russia was prepared to go to prevent that. at a military cemetery outside tbilisi. needs it has come to remember some of those who fought and died ten years ago she and her family lost their home in georgia's brief war with russia in august two thousand and eight. to marry now lives in a settlement built to house twenty thousand i.d.p.'s or internally displaced people their homes and villages were swallowed up by a forty five boundary separating georgia from the russian backed breakaway regions of south of setia and up cars here. some of the i.d.p.'s preferred to forget what happened children are not towards their families history of floor and occupation forgetting sists things is unbelievable to me.

many georgians refuse to forget outside the building that was the russian embassy until the two countries said the diplomatic ties after the war they demand that russia end what they call its occupation. it's our history we are european country and you will be part of europe i want russia to go all the time. but russia shows no sign of withdrawing thousands of its troops stationed in the breakaway regions despite being required to do so under the e.u. brokered. deal that ended the war and there's good reason for that. war is russia far more a loss of diplomatic ties with this former soviet republic far more than this is a pretty on diplomatic protest is needed is to an expansion of nato taking in georgia as a member and bringing that western alliance right up to russia's doorstep. nato has promised to georgia in early two thousand and eight of

surprising russia has always made it abundantly clear that it views the nato alliance as a direct threat and is prepared to counter any efforts aimed at its eastward expansion so that war ten years ago not forgotten by anyone on any side and nor can anyone be a tool sure that it won't happen again. an opposition politician from zimbabwe will be deforested after being denied asylum insomnia former finance minister tendai biti party is part of the country's main opposition alliance and his lawyer says he's being investigated by the place for allegedly inciting violence during protest the fall of last week's presidential election. could you rebels say at least eighteen civilians including children have been killed by side led coalition air strikes in yemen according to the rebels two separate airstrikes targeted bedouin tents in the province killing twelve people six of those were killed when air
