syria has killed at least thirty six people including civilians the cause of the blast is unclear but opposition activists suspect a rebel arms depot was detonated dozens of people were also wounded when the five story building collapsed in star mud and it looked province the province has undergone intense government airstrikes this week. a couple going to be up even more than twenty people most of them women and children have been killed by an explosion in a weapons and ammunition depot and this basement here in these residential buildings these buildings are composed of two blocks each with five floors civil defense managed to recover ten people alive from under the rubble they were sent to nearby hospitals more than twenty others lost their lives and the civil defense units are still working hard to recover more bodies also civil defense units are working on removing tons of rubble ambulance crews and civil defense units are on high alert and they might stay here for days and days working hard because of the

difficult situation and the huge amount of rubble there's some expectations that the death toll might exceed thirty people it's worth mentioning that northern syria is full of civilians and displaced people on the high floors full of families despite the shelling and bombardment. and still to come this news hour the taliban attacks came buildings in central afghan city of gaza neighbor the government and its u.s. allies say they're still in control. u.k. conservative politician boris johnson faces calls to step down after comments he made about bearcats. and fireworks are off and see which is the final enter on to the time now we'll have the details in sports. but counting has started in mali after the presidential runoff a polling station worker was killed in an attack by an armed group in the north of

the country the first round of voting in july was also marred by violence with three election workers killed and voting materials destroyed. him kate says it is expected to return to power opposition leaders. who won nearly eighteen percent in the first round is alleging voting fraud. mama vile has more from the capital bamako. the final hours of sunday have seen a little better turnout here in this holding center where i'm standing in marco in comparison to earlier in the day and also to what we saw on july twenty ninth but he has a bad history of turnouts and this one is not different apparently the opposition has been largely demoralized by the there is also many of the opposition leaders got in the first round and many of them have refused to stand behind a smile a c.c. who is now running against the president in the town of. we have reports of some

incidents in the north including the killing of the head of a polling station in the region of timbuktu not clear yet why this man was killed nor the identity of the people who killed him also reports of a very low turnout in the north and that has been expected because of the insecurity that's widespread there in the north and in the center of the country. expectations here about the president to him when this vote by a large majority the opposition has failed to united socks and the opposition leader the man running against. the c.c. has made a strong call to opposition leaders to stand behind him but they have many of them have refused to do that so the conclusion that insults of this election are highly expected as a big win for president abraham bucket are ok for more on this we can now speak to

journalist katrina hoyer who's been following the votes from the capital so catherine no way can you tell us we've heard about a instances of violence but what is the general view of how the vote has been conducted. well last we heard you say she has been looming over the selections since the fifty percent candidates including the main opponents of my less is signed the legations a fraud and ballot box starting about a week ago and business also marred the second round of votes today there has been a couple of security incidents that were heard electoral were killed in the northern part of the country ballot boxes that were stolen the night before elections but all in all the second round has been a bit calmer than the first found which is the least voting going as planned here in the capital. given that what are the chances of

a new government being voted in. as we heard the opposition has failed to gather strong opposition strong opposition coalition behind the main opponent against my let's see set and those people believe the president is booked at booker cato will get and ask votes for a second term but we saw figures coming out from the first polling station is that it's very even but it's also here in the capital where people don't feel a vote like in the rest of the country where possibly even. as a big of majority system. they were monitoring the situation in the country what kind of a sense are you getting are people happy with this government that is in place at the moment is is there enough. anger to to promote any kind of change. well people are actually happy with the government with the not so happy about this

is the performance of course you still have the insecurity in the north has over the past year has spread towards the center with attacks by groups and also jihadists that are becoming more frequent and sophisticated they're not happy with the president failure to fight corruption they're not happy with the lack of jobs and inequalities that very much reality. stillbirths people are. both overall. happy with the president of the cagers and probably not enough for them to vote for an opposition candidate that is still seen as part of the political establishment and then the same political establishment skater. thank you very much katrina holiday from bamako with the latest on the mali vote. taliban fighters have attacked police headquarters and other government buildings in gaza he has the battle for

the southern southeastern afghan city and to its third day u.s. aircraft have conducted at least four airstrikes in support of afghan national forces they insist the city is not under threat of collapse of politicians from gaza and say the taliban is in control of much of the city after launching an attack in the early hours of friday morning more than one hundred people and many of the members of the security forces are said to have been killed. as correspondent eunice yes and has sent us this update from kabul. this situation doesn't he is very tense a source told the just the era that taliban fighters attacked the election committee office in the city and they said the building on fire. didn't provide any further information meanwhile the afghan military chief of staff said that his troops can clear the city within two days he said also that there are more troops headed to the city to assist the special forces that are already there fighting the

remaining taliban fighters in the west side of the city there are little information coming from. the main road linking kabul where i am and that has me one hundred fifty kilometers to the east is broke now three days and electricity in its work at the the phone networks are not working even the local redos are off . so there is little information but our sources given us that. people are not very happy with the performance of the government managing this crisis now three days because people told us that they cannot even risk you or the wounded people in the streets we don't have any clear idea on the numbers of civilian people wounded or killed in the cities because of numbers we have only one version of the story is the ministry of defense said yesterday that they managed to kill one hundred fifty thirty band members and they said also that the last twenty six member soldiers

between killed or wounded taliban has yet to comment on those numbers. here opinion has our society arabia for more details about the arrests of female human rights activists and what charges they face saudi arabia has in recent months detained several women's rights activists some of her had campaigned for the right to drive an end to the kingdom's male guardianship system the detentions have triggered a major diplomatic route with canada after the canadians demanded the immediate release of the jailed activists. and thousands of people have attended the funeral for one of the jordanian police officers killed during a raid on a house where suspected isolette tacklers were sheltering the ceremony honored one of the officers who died after security forces stormed a building in the town of salt to the west of the capital amman on saturday four police officers were killed during the operation when explosive devices were set

off inside the building which also caused the deaths of three armed men and funerals have been held for some of the twenty nine yemeni schoolchildren killed in a saudi led coalition air strike on thursday the united nations has called for a credible and transparent investigation into their deaths which happened when saudi ever r.t. warplanes struck at their bus why would i do has more of this from djibouti. oh yeah you know floyd is one of the many for those in yemen some of the provinces in mourning for the. bomb it was his only son the nine year old was on the bus full of children the tools hit in a sodium. strike. my son used to go to the mosque and to school until the day before his death he told me that there was a trip to visit some other school i didn't want to let him go because he likes to swim and he's my only son is but he promised me he's not going to swim and his

mother asked me to allow him to go. muhammad and his classmates what a tonic from a school summer camp but when their bus stopped at the busy market it was targeted by airstrikes. i heard the shelling and i went out thinking a house has been hit as usual to kill women and children but i was shocked to hear by a neighbor ibrahim whose son was with mine in the bus telling me that the children's bus had been targeted i shouted and i said i lost my son this was around nine am and i spent like three hours searching for my son until i received a very bad news. this was the wast of talk on children since humans brutal war escalated in two thousand and fifteen according to unicef you. have the local hospital medical workers do what they can to treat the wounded while they are. in

a cemetery two to nine times flies graves have been prepared for the victims but the joint rules been ruled out due to security concerns and fears of one of the talk some of the children will eventually be diverted here though. the province is the baath place of the old rebellion on the tag at the most of the coalition's strikes. the conflict in yemen pits the richest countries in the region so that a be on the united arab emirates against the poorest the sodium at autocorrelation has been reports that criticised for targeting civilian areas in the war against fighters which killed files and left millions on the brink of starvation mohamad all the while just. now the former british foreign minister boris johnson is under fire over recent comments he made about muslim women who wear full face veils it's renewed calls for an inquiry into islamophobia within the ruling conservative party

so there has to detail. the politics of prejudice creating a summer of discontent in the u.k. the labor party dogged by accusations of anti semitism and islamophobia costing a shadow over the governing conservative party triggered by the ex foreign secretary boris johnson's article in which he outlined his position against a ban on facebook ales describing women who wear them as looking like letter boxes and bank robbers that prompted an inquiry into mr johnson's behavior and criticism from the prime minister the question of how a woman should dress is a matter for a woman. individual choice nobody should be trying to tell a woman how to dress in these tense times where the u.k. is shoppy divided over issues of breck's it immigration and a high a presence of extreme right wing politics somewhat worried that the current debate is leading to a rise in hate crime especially given mr johnson's recent article. two weeks.

saying. we remain wary. but he went on to go so when you bury abusive. language we will go already oh holding muslim women used in the street. supporters of the former foreign secretary have said that he was merely exercising his right to freedom of speech but there are all codes of conduct like that of and the behavior of public officials british muslims feel that these remarks are merely contributing to the normalization of islamophobia in british politics slowly but surely there is an increasing islamophobia and i think muslim women being kind of the visible face of islam because obviously we are covered people can see we're muslim. we tend to be the ones that get the most hate and the most jokes made about

us the hard right of the government have looked to bars johnson as a possible successor to reason may but there to be a leadership challenge later in the year his comments may have emboldened their views but any short term success would come at the cost of alienating a whole section of britons who grow more uneasy at the direction the country's politics is headed so now you go out jazeera london. still to come this news hour three two one zero. liftoff that's the launch of the fastest manmade object in history that's the probe on locking the scientific secrets of the sun thoughts. on andrew thomas in the northeastern indian state of assam where there's real concern about a new register of citizens which is left four million people. the concerns they're about to be made study. for the baltimore orioles break

twenty's now struggling to reach twenty degrees celsius southeastern parts of europe are looking fine though temperatures expected to be into the thirty's on the other side of the mediterranean the weather is looking fine plenty of sunshine around for most of you have got some showers for coastal parts of all cheerier and to choose is something to watch out for otherwise a largely fine picture and brighter conditions coming into these regions during the course of choose day into central parts of africa and we have some showers a long way north across chad and to into mali so we'd like to see one of two showers affect in bamako highs here expects to reach twenty eight. denied citizenship. health care and education. forced from their homes to live in camps. subject to devastating physical

again here's a reminder for top stories and. dozens of far right protesters and hundreds of counter demonstrators have gathered in washington d.c. to mark the anniversary of last year's deadly white supremacist rally in charlotte . the leaders of russia iran kazakhstan azerbaijan and turkmenistan signed to the grievance on the legal status of the caspian sea it means that they can share the resource rich in the body of water. an explosion in northern syria has killed at least thirty six people the cost of the blast is unclear but opposition activists suspect arms depot was detonated. now one of now says most ambitious space missions has blasted off.

the parkers solar probe will fly into the atmosphere that's closer than any previous satellite the probe will travel at speeds of seven hundred thousand kilometers an hour and brave temperatures of more than eight thousand degrees the numbers are staggering the probe will travel one hundred ninety kilometers per second for the next seven years that'll make it the fastest moving manmade object in history it will get as close as six million kilometers from the sun the previous record was forty three million kilometers and it will have to endure temperatures of a thousand three hundred degrees celsius well for more on this i'm joined via skype by dr c. alex young from nasa as he knew a physics division thank you very much for talking to us so it must be quite a relief to get that off the ground after the delay it a nutshell what would you say this proves mission. this probes mission is to do two

fundamental pieces of science one why is the sun's corona the part we see during a total solar eclipse so much hotter than the surface the surface is about six thousand degrees the corona is several million degrees and also why does the sun's atmosphere stream away in the form of a solar wind that fills the whole solar system we want to understand that to understand our sun and other stars and ultimately to be able to predict space weather that impacts our technology here on earth and can we get a very quick scientific lesson on how it can withstand those kinds of heat it's an engine nearing marble we have a heat shield that's a carbon foam composite that it's about eleven and a half centimeters thick and we also have a radiator with norwich just regular water several leaders of which they keep the spacecraft cool so that behind that shield the instrumentation is actually at room temperature dr young have been working are watching this for a long time what was it like to see that successful launch it was exhilarating

built launch was beautiful and so know that all of these engineers and scientists who have been working for years were able to make this happen and that eugene parker who predicted the solar wind sixty years ago is seeing his life's work come to fruition with the data that we're going to gather from this mission and spam which is going to be a seven year mission but how soon can we get data that says that will be significant we'll get a small set of data when we pat we're passing by the sun in november so early december we'll have the first look at the data and then next year we get a more extensive said we get close discouraging to the sun in two thousand and twenty four but over the mission will be gathering. data each time we pass the sun over its twenty four orbits i want to say a mission like this means for nasa. well this isn't a amazing mission because of its engine you're entering because of all the teams

that have brought together so in that sense it's a huge success but it's answering fundamental questions not only about the sun but it's telling us about all the stars in the universe so this is giving us a detailed look into the physics of why we're here why this sun works and while the other stars in the solar system in the universe work so it's just an unbelievable feat and in very practical terms what do you think this would mean for or how could this be use for our population here on earth the kind of the kind of information you'll be getting yeah the key thing is this region that we're understanding the corona is where all space weather phenomena happens solar flares coronal mass ejections which impact us here on earth they give us the beautiful aurora but they also knock out power grids in the stream cases it makes dangerous and viral for astronauts it can disrupt our communication so we are a technological society and we're susceptible to the sun's activity this is giving us the details we need to one day have space weather forecasting similar to what we

have here with terrestrial weather exciting and fascinating thank you very much stock to see alex young from nasa. thank you. these are the prime minister has reacted angrily to mass protests and tel aviv against the nation state law tens of thousands of people took part in the protest which is led by israel's palestinian minority a new law officially affirms israel's jewish character but critics believe it also turns non jewish minorities into second class citizens a protest came a week after israel's jews community also rallied against the law and human netanyahu took particular aim at the presence of palestinian flags among the crowd . when with more of the billy bush we saw the palestine liberation organization flags yesterday flying in the heart of tel aviv in the heart of tel aviv we heard the chants with blood in fire we will redeem palestine many of the protesters want to cancel the law of return for jews they want to and

all the anthem they want to fold up our flag they want to nullify israel as the nation state of the jewish people and turn it as some of them say into an israeli palestinian state others will say a state of all its citizens precisely for this reason we passed the nation state law. a confidential report by israeli military police investigators say an armed drone deliberately killed four palestinian boys who were playing on a gaza beach in two thousand and fourteen that's according to the online publication the intercept the reports includes testimony from officers involved in the attack who say the four cousins aged nine to eleven were pursued and killed by drone operators they were mistaken for hamas fighters the testimony raises new questions about whether the attack was carried out with reckless disregard for civilian life and without proper authorization. it has been six hundred days since al jazeera journalist awkward hussein was arrested and jailed in egypt

illegal immigrants from bangladesh and the government is insisting it is a genuine attempt at a census but as our thomas reports from langley and us some some believe the exercise is about whipping up nationalism ahead of elections. all has been nessa knows about her is that her younger sister is ninety seven so she must be older passport she says has her date of birth wrong but she does have an indian passport she is she insists indian. yet when the state government of a sound published a draft national register of citizens or n r c list two weeks ago her name wasn't on it. it's insulting i was born here my father and my grandfather were born here we are all from here. it's about thirty three million people in assam four million are not on the register has an unnecessary is on the list but his wife's name is missing as well as his mother's he thinks the whole list exercise is targeted at

muslims only one lord can be described as disasters i mean when you are normal indian citizen i mean you know you can be a pretty woman you. ethnically and religiously assam has always been one of india's most diverse states but there's a perception among some of rampant illegal immigration from neighboring bangladesh . india's hindu nationalist b j p party in power both national and state level says the only way to address it is to find those they call infiltrators and strip them of citizenship they cannot order the demography or the politburo for some movie in fact right just as some in this country should do lead for us or to the politics of india no demography of india no. you have. in some predominantly muslim villages a majority of people are not on the list most of this crisis meeting in langley

a part of an extended family of forty just four of them are on the list people here think the number left off the n.r.c. list has been kept the liberally high for political reasons they say the announcement of the could be as many as four million infiltrators in assam state is meant to send a signal nationally. prime minister narendra modi's government is facing reelection next year highlighting action against illegal immigration will probably win the votes. are those missing from the list and there are many who are hindu as well as muslims can appeal few yet suggesting the porting those made status just a severe restriction of their rights but that's little comfort to those who citizenship is in doubt andrew thomas al-jazeera langat in a sense to india. so to come in our does there are exploring the legacy of the nobel prize winning author died at the age of five. and a hot head play.
