flown in but officials fear the worst is yet to come. as prone to earthquakes as it lies on the ring of fire the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire pacific rim door such a bar al jazeera. it is head of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies in indonesia he says rescuers are struggling to reach coastal areas west hit by the earthquakes. it events like this i mean the whilst we hope that there would be no war it's not uncommon for those numbers to rout to rise as more rescue teams can be ended more of the collapsed buildings or are searched they haven't even got to all of the areas we don't have information although across the coast and not even getting into some of the more remote areas when you have it in an earthquake that is that high a seven point seven in that shallow or ten kilometers it does significant damage so

i would not be surprised unfortunately and sadly not to say that those numbers will likely go on who are related we have people who threw down the from the indonesian red jost that are having to travel ten to twelve hours what have you are a lot of roads that are no no there shouldn't be where you water trucks the shelter gets burning car all these other things that occurred and needed well hopefully the faster we can clear some about a way that's absolutely everyone in the humanitarian community really stuff to people that they need quickly and more efficiently. syria's foreign minister has called on all chip set from the u.s. france and tacky to withdraw from his country calling them occupation forces why didn't law and i'm also told the u.n. general assembly that syria was close to winning

a seven year war and in his words defeating terrorism he said that syria was now ready for the return of refugees and fled the fighting. ladies and gentlemen today the situation on the ground is more stable and secure thanks to progress made in combating terrorism that the government continues to rehabilitate the areas destroyed by terrorists how to restore normalcy all conditions in our present for the voluntary return of syrian refugees to the country the country they had to leave because of terrorism and the unilateral economic measures that targeted their daily lives and their livelihoods and get more national he's at the united nations in new york ashleigh what can you tell us about. the exit of foreign forces i think it was a masses of the international community to recognize the fact that president bashar assad now has the upper hand and that is just about time before the his army can

take over the province of which is the last remaining stronghold for the rebels in syria but there's absolutely no way that the syrian army can take any action against this troops for one simple reason because the in terms of military capabilities the syrian army pales in comparison to the presence of the turkish french or american troops took you for example made it quite clear that their presence in syria will continue and till they are sure that the kurdish militias operating in the area will move of the euphrates the americans and the french made also quite clear that their presence is to provide assistance to the. to the kurdish militias in their fight against isis so this is something i think that ultimately will come down to the moment the international community and the three key players russia france sorry turkey france and the u.s.

decide it's time to pull of forces from there and what about his comments on the return of refugees how likely is that to happen. i've personally been talking to different. people who have been evicted out of their country since the start of the conflict in syria basically this is something that you hear again and again from syrian refugees the concern that if there we turn they might face retaliation they have no guarantees that they will be granted safe return home and then even if they return home some of these people have been forced to leave. the askers of the capital damascus the villages were completely raised during the eight years the almost eighty year war in syria so this is an issue of. guarantees many people say that although we're still out of our country but there's absolutely no way we're going

to go back home until a bizarre as that steps aside so we're talking about of still a complex political situation for example. more than three million refugees live in turkey and this by the fact that these people live just all the border with syria and they are following and watching the news and they see that bashar assad there was almost winning the war but people are saying that no we're not going to go back home because if the they are scared about the potential of going back home . the u.n. thank you very much indeed thousands of people have attended the funerals of seven palestinians killed by israeli fire during protests on friday among the dead a two children but instructions were the deadliest gaza has seen in weeks and palestinian armed factions are believed to be deciding on a collective response to the violence imran khan has more from ramallah. goals and

warns it's dead again seven palestinians two of them children were killed by israeli fire on friday was the funerals took place across the gaza strip at this one in gaza city hamas had a message of defiance. and struggle and confrontation and i rejection to the siege has led to the world to listen to us because it is a great place and a great people because it is the one that goes for the jihad and no one is replacing the jihad of gaza. more than five hundred people were also injured many requiring hospital treatment gaza's hospitals already under pressure they're running out of equipment to medicines and the struggling to cope with the number of wounded arriving every friday. i went to the border in the afternoon to take part in the demonstration i saw the israeli snipers shoot someone in the neck. of the border and i went to rescue him but when i got there i couldn't help

so i ran back as i ran back i was shot in the leg i was the israeli army has killed at least one hundred ninety palestinians since the protests began on march thirtieth to demand the right of return of the palestinians and an end to the israeli egypt's siege of the strip. the israeli army has been criticised by human rights groups and some foreign governments the using heavy handed tactics to disperse the crowds as well as the israeli army used tear gas on the drawings and tear gas fired from vehicles. israel says the palestinians are flying what it calls terror over the girls offense that are causing far as and damage to property. however in a statement on friday about the latest protest. no soldiers were injured and local party damaged friday was the deadliest day the protests have seen in recent weeks and despite that they show no signs of slowing down diplomatic efforts are a standstill so there's no reason to doubt they'll come to an end anytime soon.

the palestinians are filed a lawsuit at the international court of justice against the u.s. over the relocation of its embassy last year trump's administration officially recognized jerusalem as israel's capital and later moved the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv in may the palestinian foreign minister says that move breached international law and i've asked the i.c.j. to order the u.s. to move it back rough wild is an international lawyer based at university college london he says the case will hinge on palestinian statehood that has never been before the international court of justice however the un general assembly. made an important decision to recognize palestine as a norm member state which then the court will have to address in this decision since the court's jurisdiction in this case will only be

possible if it can conclude that palestine meets the international law test for statehood as far as the court's jurisdiction relates to that there is a parallel situation with the nicaragua case that was brought against the u.s. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and in that case as perhaps will happen here the u.s. argued that the i.c.j. didn't have jurisdiction and when the court found that it did have jurisdiction the u.s. then withdrew from one of the particular ways that the court can exercise jurisdiction but what we might see is the u.s. arguing against this and it may take further steps as it did in the nick or argue a case for example within the u.n. security council to try to impede any decision of the i.c.j.

against it. so i had on the program the deadline news that britain has just six months into this detailing of the e.u. but negotiations remain at a deadlock. and forming a united front opposition groups rally in the democratic republic of congo added december's presidential election. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast we're going to start this hour in europe with a couple different scenarios going on first of all we have a funnel boundary that's pushing across eastern parts of europe as well as this area of low pressure down here by greece we've been watching this for days and this is still going to bring some very gusty winds as well as some heavy rain across the region particularly across southern greece and we do think that flooding is going to be a major problem we do have burn scars across the area because of some wildfires

earlier so that is going to cause the likelihood of those months lies to increase over the next few days then that storm system is going to be making its way to the know what to the northeast and istanbul ankara you also see some very heavy rain over the next few days well that same system is also going to be causing some some clouds here across parts of egypt now the could be some embedded showers in that as well so for cairo thirty six degrees will be a high lot of clouds in the forecast there and then as we go towards monday a lot of those clouds make their way towards the eastern med over here across parts of algeria as well as over towards libya we do have this line of clouds right here and there is some showers in those clouds so we do need to be careful for the possibility some localized flooding tripoli you'll be seeing about twenty nine degrees here on monday and up towards tunis a partly cloudy day at twenty eight degrees for you. this is our previous as

a nation where we can find full blown devious cases everything davies beijing hi good might do with that would be of for me even laboratory appreciates that what he does contribute to the prevention of such we big together many sectors to achieve one goal eliminate the freebies island by lifeline the quest for global health on al-jazeera. and one of the top stories on our zero strong aftershocks have continued to hit the indonesian island of sort of ways if you are a major earthquake and tsunami killed nearly four hundred people. syria's foreign

minister has called on trips from the u.s. france and turkey to withdrawal from his country calling them occupation forces wanted a model m. says that his country is close to winning the seven year war and that refugees could now return. thousands of people attended the funerals of seven palestinians killed by israeli security forces during protests on friday. both korea's foreign minister has accused the us of deepening mistrust between the countries through sanctions or your own home made the comments during his address to the united nations general assembly he says it's unrealistic for washington to expect pyongyang to denuclearize while sanctions are in place sharper times he has more. the north korean foreign minister picked up on the theme that we also heard from the chinese and russian foreign ministers of the un general assembly that the north koreans had shown their goodwill their commitment to denuclearization by dismantling that test site by ending the testing of nuclear weapons and missiles so

it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action i think easing sanctions or declaring an end to the korean war the north korean foreign minister pointing out that north korea has more reason to mistrust the u.s. than the other way around the u.s. after all is the only country in the world to actually use nuclear weapons against another country and has consistently threatened to annihilate north korea using nuclear weapons it was time for the us now to act to. the idea that sanctions can bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about us but the problem is that the continued sanctions are deepening our mistrust the reason behind the recent deadlock is because the us relies on chorus of measures which are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us will be no confidence in our national security and to such circumstances there is no way we'll unilaterally cells first but the u.s. position here at the u.n. general assembly was consistent nikki haley both saying that maximum pressure still

needs to be applied on north korea before new craze ation and only then would north korea see the rewards however donald trump was very upbeat here in new york saying a great deal of progress has been going on behind the scenes there will be revealed shortly that he's not worried about timeframes so it will be interesting to see whether this latest appeal makes donald trump who after all is the most invested in this process in the white house think again about whether it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action. in the democratic republic of congo a coalition of opposition figures have come together in a united front holding a joint rally in the capital kinshasa leaders warn thousands of supporters of what they say are moves by the government to steal december's presidential election but angry of the introduction of at trying voting and the exclusion of a number of candidates catherine sawyer was at the rally in contrast has this update. these are supporters though some of the most of the opposition the bodies of the good ol homeboy to laugh each to get them together like this they have their

flags fly and opposition the does pop fall for this joint friday to put pressure on the electoral commission the lists and address some of the demands in one of the biggest problems is the use of the senate foreign exhorting missiles at the opposition saying that it is not security does not provide its role in the unknown and it can be. and they also have a problem with some sixteen million dollars would have been registered without having the privilege they said this is the correct facts that electoral commission the shoals are saying that it is not supply requirement for people to be registered using the prince the saying that you know you have some people here. for some reason governing the prince could not be taken by the machines shouldn't be max out of the election that was the catholic charge wasn't trying to get to the next hold particular needs to that letter from the sun and come to

a consensus. ensues but that has not been possible that that's a promise and i said nothing is going to do will be stimulated to change that it's funny voting system to anything else and the lesson is going to carry on as scheduled back to your opposition i did little saying that these cannot do that then they need credit markets and they're. going to be money from such as and so our japanese comic has become and i just come from nature.
