that same area as we go from thursday or friday watch how little movement we see with that storm system so that is going to be the big problem and they're considering this to be a catastrophic storm system as it makes its way onshore and also we're going to be watching this through the weekend as a break away down here towards parts of the caribbean we are watching what is happening out towards the east very carefully that is isaac out there a tropical storm system it's moving quite quickly across the eastern areas and it's going to bring some showers maybe a little localized flooding but because that storm system isn't staying around very long then it is going to be clearing up fairly quickly behind that system up here towards the gulf of mexico well we do have a tropical wave there that system is going to pass over cozumel in the yucatan peninsula and head towards texas we do expect to see some flooding as we go probably towards the end of the weekend. in germany's capital there is a barber like no other sort of what it is. possible.

a few days ago temporary structures were put up by activists in solidarity with the villages as of wednesday morning this week the israeli courts have allowed israeli forces to come in to demolish the village in its entirety so just tell us that isn't what is happening today they're concentrating on this area here where these temporary structures have been put in place and this is now a closed military zone until five pm today so it's going to be a twelve hour closure as a military zone during the course of this operation they say they are moving into the village itself but that of course is the main threat that is overhanging this entire area there's been a great deal of international opposition to this potential move the e.u. this week saying that it could affect the possibility of a potential future palestinian state that is because it's widely seen that the plan behind all this is to extend settlement building illegal settlement building in the area east of jerusalem ringing occupied east jerusalem even more potentially

affecting the continuity of any future palestinian state that is why there is this huge pressure on israel not to go ahead with these plans however so far it is making the first steps it seems at least in this valley next to the village u.n. human rights investigators say syrian government forces have used chlorine gas against rebel held areas three times and see if these comments in the u.n. commission of inquiry is latest report which also says and imprison is the number of people been forced from their homes in syria this year many of them now in the last a rebel held province of it and baka as well the syrian war is harming the syrian people on a massive scale. the un's international commission of inquiry on syria says fighting displaced more than a million men women and children in six major battles nationwide between january and july levels not seen before in the seven year conflict if as many diplomats

expect as an escalation in the syrian government offensive in italy a province to try and capture the last remaining rebel stronghold it could trigger a massive exodus of civilians you are fighting them thousand. people terrorists and the population will be the prize to fight off most you don't have any figures fighting against terrorists but something has to be done to protect the rights of three million people and one million children if we had lived goes the same way as we've seen in other places then it's a complete failure of the international system and it's a complete failure of many of us to be able to prevent work we've seen happening time and again the u.n. commission blames all sides of the conflict for violations the syrian government

for again firing the banned chemical weapon chlorine gas using rockets made in iran . turkish forces for bombing a medical convoy and an archaeological site in the battle for african and kurdish fighters for attacking a psychiatric hospital it's hope that all the analysis carried out by the commission of inquiry on syria will one day lay the groundwork for legal proceedings against those accused of war crimes and of violating human rights in the hope that when the war is finally over the guilty will be brought to justice but with fears growing of an imminent assault and. the u.n. is preparing for an even larger humanitarian crisis we've barkha al jazeera geneva . me and miles later on sang suchi says our government is facing many challenges in a kind state remember hundreds of thousands of ranger muslims live there before august last year when they fled a massive military crackdown. she admitted the remainder crisis could have been

handled differently and reiterated the government position that the two jailed reuters journalists violated the official secrets act there are of course. we simply too with hindsight might think that the situation could have been handled better but we believe that for the sake of long term stability and security we have to be fair to all sides the rule of law must apply to everybody we cannot choose and pick who should be protected by the rule of law and i have to keep repeating because people are very few are interested in that aspect of the situation that in the rakhine there are many many small groups ethnic groups and religious groups and they are don't just the muslims and the cons and seem to be the section of much of the world for example we have very small ethnic groups which are fast disappearing but nobody seems to be interested in them and yet they are the ones who could

disappear altogether because some are now down to four fingers. rival factions in south sudan have signed what's being called a final peace deal after months of negotiations but it is all now form a transitional government president salva kiir will have his rival rick musharraf his deputy again as well as for other vice presidents catherine sawyer reports from ethiopia's capital and with that he'll sign. another grim end aimed at peace in south sudan the last time this leaders signed a passé deal in twenty fifteen it collapsed. after valent clashes between the two are in sides in the capital juba they say this time the deal that provides for man other things five us presidents and five hundred fifty members of parliament will halt despite mistrust between the groups the confidence building is a process it is not an event so it is a process which is actually shown through the conduct and the conduct of the people

and i'm sure this will happen that trust will be built the confidence will be built as we are we move. to implement the agreement. south sudan's leaders are under immense pressure at home and internationally to make it work the regional heads of state did not specify any action against spineless it still remains a possibility i think they sanctions and things like air possible sanctions and sanctions and. now a lot of them going to us today and it's not it's not the not but we know the use of those terminologies who had them we said before and i must say. i'm not ruling out if anything happens now if there's any good for good fracture. all the signatories say it's not a perfect still but they are committed to implementing it so now we have eight months to form a transitional government which will run for three years opposition groups that have signed this they have concerns with the division of roles in the executive and

legislature security arrangements as well as the number of states and boundary demarkation and. they also have reservations about how and who will be involved in driving a constitution whatever we do not get. this process is a progressive process and it is a process a transitional process that will take. two years or three years. we will add on hours of this thing as we go along. regional leaders and other stakeholders who witness assignee expressed optimism they say failure is not an option anymore for millions of south sudanese displaced from their homes those unable to fend for their families because of their kind of me or those who continue to live in fear of violence in their own country catching saif al jazeera i disabled the police are banning public gatherings in zimbabwe's capital to try to

made clear that they see this as a truly serious problem and they recognize that it's the actions of the industry that is made the problem worse what's unfortunate is that there are experiences shown that given the opportunity the tobacco industry and the east cigarette industry won't reform itself they can't police themselves the only solution is for our government to ban flavored products that appeal to kids ban the kind of advertising that we have seen over the last couple of years in eliminate the kind of online sales that make it easy for kids to get the products unless the government acts it won't be solved and i have faith that this food and drug administration does not want to be known as the food and drug administration that allowed another generation of americans to become hooked the algerian singer at russia as died of a heart attack i had fifty nine. which
