a profile ahead of the next election you know spring came after merkel's party experience big losses in a regional election in the western state of s. the party came first but with an eleven percent drop in support it was the second electoral setback in as many weeks for merkel's conservative alliance. her judea coalition partners the social democrat party has threatened to ns their partnership if there is no political improvement the poor results have sparked an energetic debate about who will succeed merkel and when her party has tolerated her because she was able to negotiate coalitions where they would be the strongest possible that's been less sense the last elections the social democrats would join the government if they got the post of foreign minister and finance minister and many in the party say well you sold with too cheaply political arm certainty in germany is also a worry for the european union at a time when the blocs dealing with rising populism a budget crisis in italy and brics it. she has been

another fifteen people were injured by live gunfire israeli forces have killed at least two hundred ten palestinians and injured more than eight hundred thousand since the protests began in march meanwhile funerals have been held for three palestinian teenage boys killed in israeli drone strikes in gaza on sunday the israeli army says they were trying to plant explosives near the border fence but their families insist they had no connections to armed groups harry fawcett reports . mourners gather at a hospital morgue in southern gaza inside like the bodies of three boys killed the night before it israeli strike israeli military said it targeted a cell that was laying explosives along the border fence the father of one of the boys tonight they were doing any such thing well you know. these were young boys planting explosives i wish they had been shot a lot of going to. meet in the middle was thirteen as was mohamed el sutter

here on the right on the left side was fourteen. dead bodies were brought briefly to the family homes in the village of what. locals here suggested. he might have been trying to set nets for the birds in the nearby fields when they were targeted as the convoy carried on to the mosque it passed the village school where classmates looked on the man. of the ham it was in my class even now that he's dead he will always be my friend he was a good student i will keep him in my heart attending the funeral hamas is most senior leader ismail haniya the faction which controls the gaza strip is now facing calls for retaliate. it follows friday's exchange of rockets launched by the palestinian group islamic jihad and israeli air strikes the israeli government itself and the domestic political pressure has promised toughened military responses to rocket fire incendiary balloons and breaches of the border fence such measures though heighten the chances of airstrikes like this one it's instructive

to get a sense of the geography here this is the cemetery where the boys are now being buried just a little distance down this road of the homes in which they lived in if we cross the road and have a look over here we can see just how close all of this is to the israeli border these boys lived and died within a few hundred meters of where they're now being buried. later on came the weekly protested seeking with the israeli border extends into the mediterranean sea the hamas leadership has signaled it doesn't want an escalation towards war if you said to be shared by the israeli government despite the bellicose language of its defense minister but every few days it seems dangerous forces are being let slip only to be reined in again no one can say how long that can last. a security conference has opened here in qatar focusing on ways in which countries can improve homeland security pakistan is one country attending qatar it has one of

the largest armies in the region and has been called on in the past to support enter in all security measures in the gulf last week saudi arabia gave six billion dollars in loans to help it overcome a looming financial crisis the government says the kingdom made no demands for the money meanwhile prime minister imran khan says his government is working to mediate between saudi arabia and the whole thing is to end the war in yemen let's speak to shivery our han afridi is joining me here on set he is the minister of the interior office pakistan minister gotta have you with us on al-jazeera thanks for speaking to us. so the big question coming out. after iran khan's trip to saudi arabia earlier this month in fact last week was what conditions were offered if any to pakistan when it comes to aiding saudi arabia and its war in yemen thank you so much for inviting me was pakistan and so would the relation and specially when it

comes to our border is exemplary deep rooted in what ultimately pakistan and the other key stakeholders in this region has realized that for today is. the existing disputes among different countries and for our coming generations peace is the order of the day and as far as with the initiative by giving six billion dollars to pakistan that shows the sort of understanding in respect both countries enjoy and let me assure you that this approach is applauded at all levels but has a slum about agreed at all to join saudi arabia as the military efforts in yemen well pakistan the honorable prime minister has conveyed loud and clear that bugs that is willing to play a role of a mediator because that is something which is very close to too hard for the sole reason that we ourselves are suffered enormously since one thousand nine hundred

ninety nine and i believe peace is the main prerequisite for not only for this region but for any responsible state so are you categorically denying then that pakistan will not be joining the military efforts in yemen no pakistan is solely concentrating in one particular area and that is to resolve issues diplomatically and through peaceful means here's the thing though saudi arabia in early october at the time did offer a loan to pakistan to help it fix its financial problems at the time islamabad refused so and the minister for information then said there were too many conditions attached what led to pakistan shifting its position and accepting the loan now. well let me tell you one thing. as i mentioned earlier relations are exemplary and the wisit speaks and i wore looms the way the honorable prime minister was welcomed and the sort of confidence which was shown by the saudi.

royal family and his highness so all i strongly believe in is that mutual understanding is more important than any other thing and the sort of impact which has created it has brought all the key stakeholders on board and that's why the honorable prime minister has can read that through peaceful means all the despair outstanding disputes which exist in this region will be taken seriously and will be sorted out on probation let's turn to the u.s. and south asia policy as well as the taliban so just a few days ago the secretary of state of the us michael said this that their expectation is that pakistan will not provide safe harbor to terrorists on their western border he's also said that pakistan will be held to account if they don't achieve that if they're not sincere in their effort what is their response to what i understand is suffered enormously and august and second phase is known to the entire globe and we have made it to a point despite tickler government under the guide leadership honorable prime

minister that national security is broader to number one we won't compromise it's a zero tolerance we are taking all of the measures our law enforcing agencies all the key stakeholders a working dinner date and specially my f.i.f.a. has done a fabulous job when it when it comes to all those areas which is haunting the image of pakistan but let me assure you the initiatives are unprecedented and the message is loud and clear to the entire globe that pakistan. in achievements and it's the rule is not only applauded by the end but here's the thing the u.s. state department said this in a reports in a recent report that the government in the past year has not restricted the taliban or its offshoot group the haqqani network from operating within its territory despite vows by the pakistani governments are you disputing what the u.s. state department in order to chill in each of their opinion it's all about it's not enough money and this is a this is a us later apartments report well when it comes to them get into it everyone is entitled to give their own opinion but all i would say is that pakistan is fighting

the biggest war on land we have made lot of secure faces approximately seventy thousand pakistanis lost their lives to the economy have suffered enormously but in spite of their resilience speaks and i wore looms every day our law enforcing agencies they have secured facing their lives for whom not for pakistan but for the coming generation and for the entire globe we are fighting the war of for the entire humanity and this needs to be applauded and i would strongly believe in korea message that if somebody somebody has any there is a ration the these do should come and see you simply the honorable senators from us not to zeerust on the initiatives which reach deep pockets on the gum industry can weather prodded by them so ok well speaking of the united states then how would you describe the state of relations right now between the us i mean the trump administrator we know suspended security assistance to pakistan and he publicly

chastised pakistan saying that it provided a safe haven for terrorists well look our sole objective is to do our all to contribute to be to take exemplary measures which we are taking taking a lot of operations are going on in pakistan against all those who want to be the what are creating problems but let me assure you. the the the crime but it has gone to the lawyers to have and that which we have been can waiting to the entire globe and for that interaction at all level is the order of the day on the on the basis of assumptions nobody can decide anything so i strongly believe in that this is high time now that we need to start giving due importance the role which pakistan displayed and us the other for example now it is up to us to play a proactive role brick to go dramatic initiative is the order of the day and to convey the to the entire globe the disorder of initiative which pakistan has taken the unprecedented internally displaced people are still in pakistan who had

to leave their own homes their did they left everything for the sake of peace so this is something which needs to be applauded at the level minister. we thank you very much for talking to us on al-jazeera. let's not return to our top story on the murder of the saudi journalist. in the middle east monitor that's one of the publications have seen used to write for is holding a memorial right now in london that is where jonah hall is joining us from so how are his colleagues and those who knew him john are remembering is a. well this event will take take place in about half an hour forty five minutes time there are a number of speakers lined up to address those gathered here in central london remembering the life of jamal khashoggi he addressed this group the middle east military group just a month ago twenty ninth of september here in london only

a few days before they knew him well as you as you pointed out there are journalists here speaking representing british newspapers that are activists there colleagues of mr jones and also of course his fiance a teacher. will be speaking she hasn't had much to say over the last few weeks but has been speaking in the last couple of days demanding accountability for. his death will be hearing from her a little later on but first let me bring in my guest dr di wood of dollar he's the director of middle east monitoring group thank you so much for speaking to us or your group new mr herzog well what is the sort of central message that we expect will come out of the students about two fundamental messages one reads the devalues that articulated these were universal values justice freedom of speech freedom of assembly the right to ownership values that resonate everywhere and this is why this story has continued for so long because it appeals to the conscience of the

world someone who articulated these values and stood up for these values were his life was taken only so brutal but on another level the central message is we need the disclosure of where the body is we believe that someone of his stand in indeed any human being who dies should be afforded that dignified food burial and this has been denied to jump. at the end of the day we think that these he was murdered it was murder he was murdered on their premises we see tell us where the body is give them a dignified burial as he still deserves to would you stand by the comments of the g.g. changes his fiance who believes it is not yet enough investigation taking place indeed the fact is i don't believe even the turks. are certain

or have any information where the body is or the remains of it and this is the last jig the last. link in the in this saga the body where it is and then we can have him measure of closure not at all because there has to be a trial there has to be accountability but in the immediate future it did deliver. the body a dignified burial is imperative there's bound to be a political message along those lines emerging the city but above all of course it's a it's an event to honor and remember the life of a man and a professional for using work put out a little bit in context for us what he meant to your group and to the work that you do. with not just us all the journalists he was an internationalist his message and his look to transcend it so would be covered conflicts many conflicts with decades across the region and in this in his latter years in the closing do you out

of his career he was in washington it big cup it's a major news but one of the most widely circulated you speak where you had a platform where it's fair to say he was a controversial figure and quite possibly made some pretty powerful enemies or yes you had strong views he was a man of principle you never you never denied those and this is why he you know you run foul of this that this meant because he was prepared to speak his mind and to critique when he saw it necessary you know. many thanks you for your time this event kicks off in about half an hour's time as i say we expect within the hour to hear from damascus obvious fiance among others but you are a jonah hill reporting from london jonah thank you the far right former army captain john europol sonera has promised to take brazil and a radically new direction after winning a bitterly fought presidential run all votes he says he wants to visit israel after going to chile and the united states so your boss an hour ahead earlier vowed to

according to this person from the synagogue the first three people that treated him were in fact jewish the first of the funerals of those people who died on saturday will take place on tuesday that will be the two brothers that were killed by the suspected shooter bowers but overall this is a community that is pulling together people are raising money for those people that were killed one of those groups being a muslim group this raise one hundred twenty thousand dollars and the symbol hate has no home here is going up all over the city of pittsburgh sri lanka sacked all minister has been granted bail after his arrest police say are a jew not run onto a security guard opened fire on a crowd of people who had come to his ministry to protest shooting was the first act of violence since presidents matter policy resendiz sacked the prime minister plunging the country into a constitutional crisis meanwhile the new prime minister has assumed duties but parliament is still suspended bernard smith has more from colombo. in the

presidencies offices behind me presidents are saying the swearing in the new members of the cabinet who are going to serve under now prime minister mahinda rajapaksa but not so far away sitting in the prime minister's official residence is run away from a single who says i'm still prime minister i still have the parliamentary majority to prove it the problem is the president has suspended parliament until november sixteenth so witnessing a contest claim on the suggestion is the president has let suspended because he wants to give the newly appointed prime minister rajapaksa enough time to pull in support to give him the parliamentary majority of the chinese for the first to call in on rajapaksa an offer that congratulations he of course when president of sri lanka brought in millions of dollars of chinese. vessel meant at the end of the country's civil war was converse to the united states the european union and the indians of that will hang on

hundred thirty s. turned into people during this hour long ceremony every year more people are turning up to call out the names of the professions in the days of executions of the thousands killed in moscow right here in front of the former k.g.b. office the former secret service the so-called return of the name ceremony nearly did not happen here this year moscow thought is initially didn't want to give organizers a permission because they said it would hamper reconstruction work but after a public outcry the event was allowed to go ahead. the life in the country today is that the political prisoners haven't disappeared they're here and you want to appear and they don't get released immediately of course it is relevant today it is good that there is so many people different and god willing no one will be standing in their way the human rights organization who is organizing this event has recently been branded

a foreign agent by the authorities because it receives foreign funding it also has become increasingly under pressure at the same time monuments for your sprung up around the country and a recent survey done last year shows that forty three percent of the people here in russia say it's atrocities would justify. the main thing is for people to know what has happened and why has it happened there is a restriction of freedom of speech which we can see that already exclusion of political competition which we can also see a limitation of citizens rights for freedom of gathering. yes what we can witness now if people understand what it leads to in the past they will be more vigilant now. the more reason for those here today is to say they keep fighting for these events not only to remember those killed in the past but as a warning for what is happening today. the sea off the coast of west africa is rich with marine life but illegal fishing has been threatening stocks and costing sirrah
