however this is activism not in the international community i mean if you're going to get my disease known since it's been a doozy please come as the dish up if you're going to get it i just know since this is will be on i didn't know he said nor do isn't someone should not be allowed anywhere in history this is not a national. social media platforms though have been used to organize both sides of the debates not all bad news but on sunday residents and chemists were on social media and called for demonstrations under the title can its citizens send a democratic message against violence and xenophobia now here in germany we do want to know your opinion on what's going on and how you're seeing this play out online and get in touch with us as always with our hash tag a.j. news good good background here on the political side of things the f.t. which last year became the first family right nationalist movement to end to the german parliament since hope will tell you that's pretty big really when you think about it the views of many i think summed up in this quote this is

a very important moment in german history they are trying to exploit people's fears and make them bigger if you search for germany. it is in the features section at al-jazeera dot com to libya where really things are going from bad to worse in the capital tripoli as rival groups fight for control it is a very confusing situation so we're going to explain it more on the map in a moment but for now we know about forty people have been killed since the violence picked up again a few days ago it's mostly been going on in the suburbs south of tripoli and the internationally recognized government has just declared a state of emergency with up to one hundred is there for us he sent us this. since the beginning of the clashes that broke out a week ago. many civilians were killed by ugandan rockets as the ministry of defense says and as the family members tell us here they're ok but it landed here and killed their top songs and you can also see you know their. remains

of the explosion here on this wall a. whole. team that the market was the explosion was very strong that. was hard to watch here was also destroyed by the explosions. it is a state of panic among civilians especially with which random rockets play rockets landing in densely populated areas and it seems that the government of national want is not a strong enough to put in this country people here and so many people in tripoli. are blaming the government for not doing enough to stop this conflict. so clearly this is complicated and we want to try to shed a little bit of light on what is going on in libya the logical starting point is

the fall of moammar gadhafi that's two thousand and eleven libya was in pieces two separate governing bodies in two different locations asserting control over the whole country and both backed by the armed factions so we'll start over here in the east brooke this is the base of the house of representatives that has the backing of the powerful warlord and former general khalifa haftar who still commands loyalty from large parts of the libyan national then we go all the way over to the west and we're looking at the capital tripoli the government of national accord the g.n.a.t. is recognized by the u.n. as the official government of libya but it is tripoli where these problems are the g.n.a.s. seems to be losing control protein a forces have been retreating to the center of the city there that of course leaves room for their rivals all of which there are many if not the seventh infantry brigade brigade i'm sorry and its allies from misrata who now control of we go out a little bit further the international airport which is further south down here as

well as military camps along that road which comes into the airport you've got forces from zintan who have moved into the south of tripoli so it really is two governments and all these armed forces it is as we say extremely complicated we have god however. with us now who is a senior libya analyst of the international crisis group to help explain it all joining us from tunis thank you so much for your time claudia. i don't want to go too broad here but why is this happening is it simply that there is just not enough strong leadership and these armed groups are seeing now an opportunity i guess. well first of all the armed groups that have been mobilizing towards tripoli this past week armed groups from neighboring cities in the tripoli outskirts one thing that has been building up over the past few months is this resentment by

the communities outside tripoli so the main cities in this case are. resentment from these communities and their armed groups for their absence from the capital and they say that the i'm groups in the capital which are tripoli based i'm groups commanded by people who are from tripoli that these groups and their leader is actually control the state and the greater accusation that has been made is that these armed groups are tapping into the state resources and actually calling the shots of what the internationally recognized governments do because so these i'm groups from outside tripoli want to move into the capital they say to get rid of these tripoli armed groups that are dictating the agenda in the capital and on the government they say to end this predation that they are carrying out of the state resources and said create a restart of the political roadmap but of course you know these armed groups

are very loosely associated to one another they're from different political orientations the group into who now has elements from the old gadhafi regime military in it the group from misrata is an islamist leaning i'm group and there's no coherent strategy that that they share except for wanting to move into the capital so these current maneuvers have the potential of creating even more chaos in the capital could you tell me about because you mentioned there the internationally recognized government in tripoli that sounds good it sounds that they have legitimacy but even our correspondent was saying before that they just don't really have control is there any strength in this government to actually do something. well the only power that this government has is first of all dictated by its international recognition so the power that it has in part is linked to the fact that the u.n.

security council supports it and key west key countries u.s. u.k. france italy recognize it and have been supporting it throughout these past three years but in terms of power on the ground there are only backers. groups from tripoli that i mentioned earlier and few others from western libya they do not control the east of the country and there has been growing frustration towards internationally recognized government for its inability to to change the dynamics on the ground it has been you know it's supposed to be a unity government officially it's called the government of national accord because it stemmed out of a political negotiation process that was supposed to unify the country but it has been unable to bring together a political unification a military unification it has been unable to improve economic living conditions just last week or two weeks ago it announced that it would it would it would not be able to implement the economic reforms that libyans have been wanting and needing

in order to alleviate their living conditions and so you know there is extreme popular dissatisfaction towards these this government and you know in these past few days as the military escalation was taking place in tripoli we also saw announcements from the parliamentarians of the house of representatives that parliament. members of the state council the tripoli based sort of rival parliament public statements in which they asked the presidency council to step aside and call on the u.n. to restart political negotiations so these military this military escalation is happening with the backdrop of the popular discontent towards the government but unfortunately there's no know you. near negotiation for negotiating format on how to go ahead and rethink a political a new political set up of the country and of course there is there is the big risk that. if we embark on that then they will be power vacuum in tripoli for some time

and nobody at least none of the big internationals like the idea of a power vacuum kodiak isn't it great to talk to you and get your a considerable knowledge on what's going on in libya thank you unfortunately mention this before everything we're seeing in libya really as a result of the political mismanagement going back to two thousand and eleven after the overthrow of gadhafi you know the full un's team were looking at these problems four years ago and they came up with this edition of the show libya state of insecurity in their own words in post revolutionary libya faultlines finds a nation on reveling fault lines it is in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com little bit of news just coming into us and israel's navy has reportedly fired warning shots at boats attempting to breach the naval blockade of gaza. live pictures coming in from the beaches of gowns of the palestinian vessels a part of tila that plan to sail off the gaza strip and join the international

campaign against the siege carrying students activists and several patients who can't get the urgent treatment they need because of the blockade imposed by israel so this is boats trying to break the naval blockade from gaza heading further out and there are reports of the israeli navy firing warning shots at those boats we'll keep an eye on this live shot and see if anything further that develops there. now it is read as the russians take a public stance against the government but unpopular pension changes have again brought people onto the streets of moscow these protests were organized by the communist party the government wants to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty five for men and from fifty five to sixty four women president vladimir putin's made some concessions to the original plans but they have failed to dampen people's anger as you see he maintains it's the right thing to do arguing current pension arrangements will just send the country broke on a bush of sky is

a fellow at the washington institute focusing on russia's foreign and domestic policy we spoke to her earlier and she said putin's government did not expect this public outcry i think we're having a few problems with our video today but we did have a guess the earliest being from russia as i say these protests going on because of the rise in the rate in the age of pensions and as this was going to point out this is not been expected at all by the russian government we'll see if we can come back to that a little later on in the meantime in a turn this way because mr paul race is here to talk sport with us talking sport a little bit earlier today because well the asian games they've been a big deal haven't yeah they have we've had a scot heiler our correspondent there for the last two weeks and it could be getting even bigger they're hoping to host the olympics as well yet that is the big

question after the end of the asian games in tunisia have announced that they hope that capital city jakarta can host the olympics in twenty thirty two so our correspondent scott highlight has been in jakarta for the last two weeks he's had a look at whether this stream can become reality. with the ceremony described as a tribute to the athletes the two thousand eight hundred asian games drew to a close after sixteen days of more than forty competitions as expected team china takes home the most gold at one hundred and thirty two and most overall medals a two hundred eighty nine japan won the last gold of the games in the mixed triathlon and came in second in gold and overall medals south korea came in third. team indonesia came in a surprising fourth hoping for sixteen gold medals the final tally was almost double that at thirty one but the pride here also coming from how the games were

organized and presented. and i feel like we are now very trusted by the outside world we have been very successful ready to host the olympics as a nation we are becoming more advanced encouraged by the record breaking performance of team indonesia on the pitch the mood of the people here has been growing steadily more enthusiastic throughout the sixteen days of the games culminating here at the closing ceremony despite the rainfall the man who led the team to put on the games says streamlining was the key really. being that we were very we need. to have a bigger games because all the faith in us that will be a lot of. people has been we cannot stop an hour. and a day before the asian games came to a close he showed that they were not stopping officially announcing their bid for

the twenty thirty two olympics a journalist who covers multi-sport events sees this year's games proof indonesia can be an international host country but the olympics are a long shot i think specifically with with indonesia there is a couple problems that will seriously hamper any potential bid indonesians don't come to anything that's not bad but that will that is a serious issue the traffic is a serious issue the venues while good for an asian games would almost assuredly need a lot of renovation and a lot of work. another issue the high price and difficulty getting tickets to the big events we don have the connection if you don't know the right people that i don't think you'd be able to get that they could afford the marquee event but even with those challenges indonesia as this year's asian games host is mostly viewed as a success both on and off the pitch the games and torch are now in china's court

host for the twenty twenty two asian games got harder al-jazeera jakarta. so indonesia won the olympics come and get them the international olympic committee president thomas bach believes that based on what he seen at the asian games that became people hosts indonesia there is on the move. do you see the enthusiasm of the people. you see the volunteers delivering there with the organizing committee a very good organization and it's a very young country and this of course makes it all too very interesting for the i.o.c. well let's get more on this now olympic journalist john goodbody joins us from our studios in london john you've covered thirteen olympic games since nine hundred sixty eight i believe what was your initial reaction to an india indonesia

announcing they want your car to host the games. i wasn't entirely surprised because it's so natural state for a country like indonesia having satiation games who says i'm a big big operation i mean it's thirteen thousand athletes. and a lot of countries want to beat for these games for the olympics and thomas bach the i.o.c. president quite understandably woods in susie ass stick up about promoting the idea of a car turned into an easier itself staging the summer games because at the moment the i.o.c. are under considerable pressure to get countries and cities to bid for the games the next to some a games twenty twenty four in paris and twenty twenty eight in los angels east both

of those games have been allocated the question is afterwards and there have been a lot of cities that have pulled out of the winter games and indeed the summer games because paris and los angeles got the games because they would be only two cities left standing in the end so it's in thomas box interest for all cities to bid for the games particularly from a country like indonesia which of course has never staged them now we've seen former asian games host maybe most notably doha qatar bid for the olympics miss out twice is there something indonesia can learn from that. yes i think it is some our think big huge advantage that indonesia has is that it's a country of about two hundred sixty million people now to have a which is the fourth biggest in the world and the i.o.c. very much likes to spread the olympic missy the olympic ideal choice many

countries as possible particularly those countries which have very large like indonesia so and that sense that. an amount stronger position than say the gulf states my feeling though is that the i.o.c. will look with some worry about whether in fact internees here is yet ready to host the summer games now it's going to cost them a lot of money there were protests in rio before the olympics there in twenty sixteen is this something indonesian in sydney's he said realistically be doing with its money. probably not i would say and don't forget the problems with brazil will that occurred before the games and in fact afterwards after all the head of the organizing committee called the simpson

newsman is currently facing criminal charges. for having been party to buying the games through the agency of lim india the former. president of the international association of athletics federations allegations that he denies. so. indonesia should realize that you know a lot of the olympic facilities let's take a sport like rowing will not be huge probably after the games because you've got to build a two hundred metre course for the rowing are there enough internees ians really who are going to be interested in rowing or shouldn't that money being spent on other things as should have been spent in brazil on their extreme poverty and. the lack of

support for many of the people who are living in who were living and are living in the for that in rio de janiero. good point john goodbody live for us from london thank you very much indeed. well if you want to connect with us you can can do with the hash tag a.j. news grid on twitter or you can get in touch straight with me on twitter at reese at tatyana we'll be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t. for now i'll hand you back to call and people energy to explain it to me later palla this is the news grid still ahead for you the video of ariana grande day that has gone viral unfortunately not much to do with his singing the latest on a controversy that is dominating social platforms in just a moment. hello

again well i do want to take you across the levant right now because temperatures in kuwait city are coming down but that's not necessarily good news because when the temperatures come down like that this time of year that also means that the committee is probably rising early we had temperatures in the last few days maybe forty six forty seven degrees so your high temperature on monday forty three but very humid conditions are going to be in place as we go from monday as well as into tuesday up towards tehran one day for you as well we expect to see about thirty two degrees there now down here along the gulf we are looking at really a lot of humidity across much of the region towards riyadh though of course dry conditions there at about forty two degrees a lot of clouds that we had down here along the coast of oman not really in the forecast here we may see a cloud or two just skirting over to the south of moscow but attempt to fume and about thirty degrees then as you make your way down towards the southern reaches of

africa we are seeing in south africa a funnel boundary kind of laying out on the satellite image you can see those clouds right there now we do have a significant fire danger up here towards the north or for cape town really not looking too bad temptress few at about sixteen degrees but notice that front just off the coast as we go towards tuesday that front approaches bring some gusty winds as well and then on wednesday some rain in your forecast. unless we have new generations growing out to understand that a population of chick with a natural. soon there will be nothing left and will suffer primatologist and conservationist dr jane goodall towards to al-jazeera. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so

no matter where you call harm al-jazeera international bringing the news and current affirms that might to tease. al-jazeera. on counting the cost after a week of nafta talks we'll look at the impact donald trump's trade policy is having globally plus why celebrity social media influences have a new set of online followers advertising regulates. counting the cost and i just see it up.

headlines from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending we talked about pakistan over the funding ended there of course yesterday was all about fun beginning for palestinians for under us take another look at that story still number one on the what's trending list of the latest number three as well on the yemen school bus attack which saudi arabia with some tapi it's good site was unjustified that is what's trending this sunday at al-jazeera dot com. just on the pulse story so many comments coming through and i'm really interested to see. the variety that's come the results from the raid if you had a message on whatsapp actually if you do send a message on whatsapp to leave you know i'm there as well there's no trust in the us anymore first tariffs on its allies then and now

a strategic partner in the war of terrorism good luck getting out of this hole that trump is digging a few of those sorts of things but such the show on facebook facebook dot com slash al-jazeera for the live stream has said the u.s. is not causing eid the correct narrative is that it stopped putting money in the bowl of back stabbers questioning the pakistanis commitment there and one more i did say said and i think this is quite interesting saying i think what's happening is great because countries will slowly depend less and less on the united states and probably for all players involved that would be some sort of long to go with they've got more self-sufficiency thank you for your comments questions as well for i guess and correspondent send them in the hash tag is a news grid now a wreath of franklin's funeral and been trending awake partly because the celebrations literally went on all week but at the main funeral service in detroit later something pretty peculiar and actually quite concerning went on it is and it's just really really hard and horrible to watch it involves us singer ariana

grande a it's not about her performance but it was about what happened right afterwards. right after she finished singing bishop charles alice the third greeted her and put his arm around her like you see there he officiated franklin's funeral and it's hard to see so closely but these moments here are what went viral comedian trevor noah was first to point out what everyone is now talking about he asked what's up with the pastor's hand encircled the bishop's hand with a red circle grabbing ground day near her breast this video shows this video now has more than two and a half million views and thousands of comments like this one post this woman posted a picture of the pastor hugging another short woman saying exhibit a a respectful hug first a disrespectful hug and points out that both women are short because some people are saying that grown days just heat size made it hard for the bishop to put his

hand anywhere else others are saying that this is being blown out of proportion a few hours later though bishop charles ellis apologized for his behavior. it would never be my intention to tell you to read. all the old you know this is in the mail to see everybody the result should be and. that's true. and again maybe an order maybe it was to print media again. ariana grande a has not commented on the situation however a few hours ago she posted this to her twitter page saying love you so much there are significantly more tweets and read tweets and comments on this one than her other posts most of the comments and questions though are asking her how she's doing we'll continue to have updates on the story especially on my twitter page on between about it at least harding a.j. . thank you for that we're going to take

a look at some of the other major stories from around the world now and the am group al shabaab says it is behind a car bombing that's killed at least six people in somalia's capital mogadishu the suicide attack a set off the blast near a government building which isn't far from a school and they could be more casualties because the explosion brought down some buildings including a mosque this from osama bin. the loud explosion was heard across the somali capital mogadishu soldiers stationed near the entrance of district headquarters tried to stop the suicide bomber. the attacker tried to enter the compound with an explosive laden car and when the security tried to stop it the car exploded killing three of the soldiers the deputy commissioner for security and politics was also injured in the attack children were among those killed and injured as a nearby school collapsed you know i saw bodies scattered on the ground after the explosion before the ambulances and the paramedics reached there and the whole

scene was very out. the roof was blown of a mosque and homes in the area were also damaged. as you can see the explosion caused a lot of destruction there are mosques and islamic schools next to the district compound. by the linked hardline group of shabaab says it was behind the attack a statement says the meeting in the district office was the target al shabaab has been carrying out attacks for more than a decade that includes a deadly truck attack last year which can more than five hundred people the un backed government which took charge in twenty twelve has not been able to control much territory beyond look at issue. for mali is devastated health infrastructure has struggled to do the casualties in the past. and as the war with begun in the one nine hundred ninety s. goes on somali civilians continue to suffer. there a new u.s. army general is taking over command of nato forces in afghanistan general scott miller was sworn in to his new role in

a handover ceremony in kabul one of his top priorities will be helping afghanistan's army get on top of a resurgent taliban. protesters in iraq's southern city of basra demanding jobs and better public services they gathered outside an oil field complaining opportunities are often given to foreigners demonstrators also blocked a key highway in the northern part of the city the protests broke out. of the corruption and a lack of investments. syrian state media has denied there was an israeli attack on an air base near damascus on saturday night. blasts had been heard. on the western outskirts of damascus state media says an electrical fault led to the blast at a munitions depart stephanie decker with more for you from the turkey syria border . the first you know the first thought and the first for a lot of people certainty is that israel would have been behind this it's not the

first time that israel has struck this military base outskirts of damascus israel's concern of course is always iran whetton shipments to iranian forces particularly hezbollah that can then threaten israel security israel never comments on these strikes however they do admit that yes they do target these kinds of weapons shipments or weapons storage is syrian state television quoting military sources saying it wasn't israel it was an electrical fault but there is a lot of skepticism about that there's other syrian military sources being quoted saying that israel was behind it the syrian observatory which monitors the war saying that israel was behind the work will tease we do know there were reports of ambulances racing to the scene last night multiple explosions so again these things are very difficult to confirm independently always of course a lot of skepticism when it comes to a particular attack like this or an explosion in a weapons depot in a very important military base whether that was

a form of an electrical hook up or whether that was israel target won't be able to confirm but certain a lot of skepticism about that denial from syrian state television now it's no secret china's influence is growing hugely across africa in recent decades something president xi jinping will be keen to celebrate as he hosts leaders from more than fifty countries this week with investment has come people more than a million chinese migrants actually now live and work in africa the number of africans in china is thought to be about half that china correspondent brown with more. and some sandra's from cameroon but his son is chinese because he was born here both appear a lot these days on a popular chinese social media network marriage between a chinese man and an african woman is still a curiosity here. so she under husband decided to stream their day to day lives fans send virtual gifts which represent money dollars don't know i adore

hear more from layer in a moment but basically online accounts or blogs with more than five thousand followers will be monitored as media outlets even if they are private uses journalists accused of publishing so-called fake news can then be fined or face jail time but rights groups say it's another sign of the ongoing crackdown on press freedom. that's right them all to give you some context about fifteen million egyptians are on facebook and twitter out of a population of ninety million this user here explains that the news explains some of the new to her followers while this man in arabic joked that it's time for him to just delete his account and delete all of his tweets another one here also in arabic calls for the new law says the new law rather is a horror and then this cartoon is being shared online summing up the fears of this new social media law a get suspended over a writing hand egypt is just one of the latest african countries though to regulate

social media kenya uganda tanzania and rwanda have also recently moved to regulate social media use uganda attracted most attention though for its so-called anti gossip tax the government literally said that the tax would prevent the spread of fake news with the added bonus of raising more revenue the tax charges people two hundred ugandan shillings worth about five cents a day for using any social media platform that may not sound like a lot but it's a hard hit for people in a country where the minimum wage is about one dollar sixty a month. and the new law in egypt also highlighted conversations about one of us an egyptian blogger and human rights activist who's been in pretrial detention for more than one hundred days people are using the hash tag free to call for his release of us came to prominence in two thousand and six for posting video showing

headlines coming out of gaza have been relentlessly grim haven't they three wars was saying humanitarian crisis political division all playing out and we saw it earlier in the bulletin on to some restrictive israeli siege but there are pockets of normal life where people especially children can escape the chaos harry force that's been to visit one such place where competition discipline and a love of animals is giving some young palestinians a bit odd. as the fierce heat of the day starts to ebb it's time to get ready last minute grooming final checks on saddles and stirrups. and then out into the arena here in northern gaza given the territories recent history of conflict blockade and economic crisis it's perhaps a surprise to find young people here competing in what around the world is viewed as an elitist sport. ahmed are zazi is aiming himself to be an elite showjumper taking advantage of the recent opening of gaza's southern crossing with egypt he

traveled to jordan and then germany excelling in two five nation tournaments and i struggled for all of my ambition is to compete internationally in the recent tournaments i won first and second places some competitions allow us to qualify for the world cup but we've missed out on so many because of the siege and the closure of the crossings this is final training for a gaza wide competition unlike many sports in this conservative society here girls and boys train and compete together the contests a split according to the heights of the jumps not the competitors gender. there's no difference we like brothers and sisters and i'm ready to compete society does ban women from doing a few things that contradict additions but i didn't catch all continue. but the egalitarian ism only goes so far this is an activity reserved for the very few in gaza who can afford it stabling costs about two hundred dollars a month some of the horses imported from israel even europe are worth thousands.

most of gaza's horses are used for heavy labor not sport unemployment stands at forty four percent more than half the population relies on food aid all around the world this is a sport that carries connotations of elite isn't and wealth but here in gaza more than most places the contrast between scenes like this and the realities of daily life for so many is particularly stark. dima trainer made ramsey says working with horses helps children who no matter their relative wealth have had childhoods marred by conflict and siege but he says the costs are becoming harder to sustain. that it has even well off families are now reducing their expenses including on this port many will send their son to get trained but when they reach a certain level with competition and fees and so on then they stop. well a few days later and it's competition time relatives friends nervous parents lined the side of the arena star rider made is finding his horse covered gold

a bit hot to handle the places. where you know. i did my best and i trained very well and i hope next time to win a better place it's the kind of attitude required of young athletes around the world but perhaps especially of those growing up in gaza perry forsett gaza nice story isn't it something a little different out of gaza still ahead for you on the grid we're going to bring you this. is not a ton of the oysters but we're going to talk about a billion of them anyway. separates the target of an ambitious plan to replenish the waterways of new york first started let's have a look at some wild weather. for
