announcement coming from the grand alliance along with the main opposition party bangladesh nationalist party would actually be a positive news for the population they want to have their choice of voting for the candidate of their choice they don't want to repeat of the two thousand and fourteen election which was marred with a lot of violence it was a walkover election now a lot of people we spoke to in the ground do still have some concern because the election will be held under the current gunmen and they can influence the election commission they say whether they'll be really a level playing field opposition didn't have enough time to prepare for the campaign now the opposition today declared that they want at least thirty day different of the election which is supposed to be held on december twenty third now the government say they don't have any objection to the different men for another thirty days but it will depend on the election commission to decide on that despite everything it was a strategic move bangladesh nationalist party spatially could have lost its

calls a toxic mix of violence and community mistrust the outbreak is not under control and it's been. so large a number of haitian in the town of dany and now we are very concerned about another town. where you have a million people and cases from a baby tribal area. and we are now worried that transmission in that town this he says is a window of opportunity a vaccination. graham has already reached some twenty five thousand people that he wanted to see senator levin neighboring uganda has become the first in the world to administer a vaccine without an active outbreak targeting frontline health workers near the border really trying your hardest to vaccinate as many people as possible without potential exposure to a bowl of ours because there seems there since really seems to work the problem is

it's challenging to access people because really the area and it's hard to ensure that people who have had a possible. actually no access. only for safety reasons and borders here are porous these roads like this one in south sudan lead across sovereign frontiers and as people travel they give him the ability to travel with them. becomes something difficult but it's good enough to know you don't have any. kissel few boileau even. states but. any cues that interest you to be very challenging to people who comes through the borders as the death toll mounts in the d.r. see neighboring countries are watching closely. al-jazeera. a recount has begun in florida for two k.

positions on the midterm elections ballots are being counted again in the races for governor and the u.s. senate the first count republican candidates held a slight lead or county have. a thursday deadline to complete the recount gabriel has more from washington d.c. . they're talking about how this is a could potentially be a replay of eighteen years ago we all can remember in year two thousand that was a famous recall of the votes in florida during the george w. bush al gore presidential race of course all the rest is history now but bush ended up winning the state of florida by less than six hundred votes and that was enough to get him into the white house and now we're seeing another recount in florida both republicans and democrats are accusing each other of foul play and stuffing the ballot boxes and trying to extend the election or change the results or what have you but the bottom line is this is

a recount of all of the votes there between the senate race between republican rick scott who got fifty eight point zero percent of it and bill nelson the democrat who got thirty nine point nine percent of the vote only about ten to twelve thousand vote difference there are more than eight million votes cast in the governor's race as well the republican also holds a narrow narrow lead he has forty nine point six percent of the vote to andrew gillum the democrat forty nine point two so you can see how tight these races are and that's why the recount of the votes is happening beginning on sunday expected to last at least five days but it's going to be a long process it could extend well beyond that. leadership elections are being held in rebel controlled eastern ukraine as president and germany's chancellor say that it's illegal and illegitimate critics say the votes and yet scanned the break a peace agreement signed three years ago the government in kiev says this and

illegal attempt by russian separatists to legitimize their four year occupation ten thousand people have been killed since the conflict began. the us president and turkey's leader budget five at the one have held talks on the killing of journalist. they met on the sidelines of the world war one commemorations in paris as turkey has shared audio recordings of lost more than with several world leaders. sources close to the presidents have told me that the turkish leader vegetate out of one described his meeting with his american counterpart as a positive one albeit the turkish presidency has still not revealed the details of exactly what was this cross between trump and earth one however we do understand

obviously the central through those talks was the case of john kushal the now obviously this comes of the backdrop of turkey trying to generate this international consensus to get as much support as it can from western countries and its european allies in order to bring to a close this case which has gone on for several weeks now but because this case has so many different levels and layers to it it is proving a difficult task to say the least one of those consequential topics that's come as a result of the murder of john hustle she has been saudi arabia policy. world for example the war on yemen we've seen that now countries and governments of talking about the possibility of the focus on tiger arabia being used now in order to bring an end to this war in fact there was a small but loud protests that took place outside the consulate earlier on sunday

it was organized by supporters of the forty militia they did hold up the picture of an american food the employees the flag however it's just goes to show that there is at least some sort of momentum the scene built with the scrutiny being placed on saudi arabia its leadership and the deadly policies that it has been pursuing that has allowed others to make use of that's now there were still room for the turkish authorities possibly to leak more information or more details with regards to the case of jamal casualty we still haven't seen for example. proof of what kind of weapons or tools were used to kill john hussle see we are hearing possibly that they may be really. at some point there is still talk about or questions being raised about the consul general why or where is he the key witness to this who was whisked away by the saudi authorities so all of that is that on the table. north and south korean troops have withdrawn from eleven god posts on the edges of the

demilitarized zone which separates the two countries they're also discussing demolishing one of the navy two hundred god posts along the d.m.z. problem kelly is a professor of political science at south korea's press on national university and he says this is the start of a long process militarily it's not a particularly big deal right in the two koreas have large numbers of forward forces on the deliveries on and so these are only posts they're pretty small but it does sort of make the hair trigger a little bit less delicate and it does mean that there's a little bit less sort of immediate forward observation by the two sides so that's good it's something of a build down but it's mostly symbolic but that's what you would expect them something like this that's really sensitive right that what they would start with small steps first and then work up the d.m.z. is pretty the debility zone is pretty heavily militarized you were saying that mines and barbed wire and you know you've got north korean artillery and things like that i mean there's you know got american forces and south korean forces and some of these to the south and so what the current government is looking to do is sort of continue to expand the sort of demilitarized space to sort of you know the

mining has been mentioned removing barbed wire the no fly zone over the demilitarized zone has been expanded but a lot of that sort of depends on how these sort of small steps go the big really big thing would be if the two sides could actually start would draw forward based. forces right because the north korean artillery on the south koreans are really worried that if there's a war the north koreans would shell soul which is very close to the d.m.z. so that's really the big one but that's probably a couple years away. to stay with us on al-jazeera i'll be back in just a couple of minutes with another full of thank you for watching.

for nine hundred forty six to nine hundred fifty eight the united states detonated dozens of atomic bombs in the marshall islands when the u.s. was getting ready to clean up and leave in the one nine hundred seventy s. they picked the pit that had been left by one of those fall or atomic explosions and dumped a lot of this to tony i'm another radioactive waste into the pit the bottom of the dome it's permeable soil there was no effort to line it and therefore the seawater is is inside the dome when the stone was built there was no factoring in sea level rises caused by climate change now every day when the tide rolls out ready zero active isotopes from underneath the die roll out with it if it really they we're not talking just a marshall islands we're talking the whole smooth ocean. when

and another wounded. by from our headquarters in doha. and still ahead. the french president sounds a warning against nationalism at commemorations to mark a hundred years since the end of world war one. the u.s. calls for an end to hostilities. as the fight for the port city spills into residential areas as and florida begins recounted votes in the senate and governor races are the results but too close to declare a winner. israeli

special forces have carried out a raid and gaza and killed a military commander of the cussons brigades hamas' military wing and israeli soldier has also died in the operation with another wounded the israeli raid happened and khan yunis and the southern gaza strip five other palestinians and five other palestinians were injured in the corrosion. well an israeli army spokesperson confirmed an operation in the strip six more people have reportedly been injured tensions had appeared to be easing in the region with hamas scaling down weekly protests at the gaza israel border israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has cut short his visit to paris at the world war one commemorations and is on his way home let's go now to our correspondent that he is following the developments for us from west jerusalem what more do we know now harry about the attack the latest report that and is rarely soldier was killed and

one wounded. well indeed these reports have been coming out from gaza since quite early in the piece now it has been confirmed by the israeli military that an israeli officer was killed in this operation and one of the wounded previously they had just been denying any reports of any abductions and saying that all of the troops had withdrawn to the israeli side of the gaza border fence now what we understand took place at least from the hamas side the the. faction which controls the gaza strip has been saying since shortly after this all took place that an israeli covert special forces team was inside gaza territory three kilometers inside from the border fence traveling in a civilian vehicle and that it carried out an attack in which a senior commander of the hamas military wing the arkansas brigades in communis. a

man called nora baraka was shot and killed or at least was was killed in this operation a thirty seven year old senior commander and initially five others had been killed in the last half hour or so the palestinian health ministry inside gaza are saying that seven palestinians in total were killed in this operation once this operation was exposed once these israeli soldiers were exposed a firefight broke out they withdrew under cover from israeli air strikes a significant number of israeli airstrikes as they withdrew into israeli territory israel says that there have been at least ten projectiles fired from gaza and territory into israel in the aftermath of all this and that two of those were intercepted by the iron dome anti-missile system no injuries or fatalities reported on the israeli side from those rocket strikes and harry as we've been reporting

ponza benjamin netanyahu has cut short his trip to paris he's on his way home and just how serious and incident an escalation as this given that a senior commander says military one has been killed and also an israeli soldier. well it's extremely serious we have seen in recent months various moments of potential military escalation exchanges of rocket fire and israeli air strikes which have really been bringing things up to the point of a serious military escalation however up until this point both sides do seem to have been committed to trying to calibrate such military actions so that they wouldn't spillover into an all out war indeed both sides appear to have been committed to trying to come to some kind of negotiated long term truce that is the objective that is being endeavored towards by the egyptians have been brokering

this process along with the united nations along with the assistance of the catteries as well with country money coming in to fund the fuel for the gazan power station which is seen atrocities supplies vastly improved over the terrible situation just over a week ago and also money coming in from qatar to supply funding for gaza employees hamas employees civil servants and the like inside gaza now this comes at considerable political risk both to the leadership and indeed benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister he was criticized for allowing that money to go into gaza during the course of last week and earlier on sunday in paris he was saying that israel was was working towards calm that he was trying to get some kind of calming of the situation in the southern area and saying that that kind of political leadership comes with costs so for this to have happened while he was

outside the country is itself very interesting if it was from the off and attempt to target either capture or kill the senior hamas leader how much military wing leader then that is a significantly risky decision for israel to take it such a. sensitive time especially with the prime minister out of the country if it was a less. a lesser mission some kind of intelligence mission which went wrong that would put a different different kind of characterization on it but it's very clear that netanyahu itself is concerned about where this may go in the coming hours and days and he's coming back very quickly to try and resume command of the situation which has which is taken place with him out of the country harry thank you very much for that for now that's how i force it with all the latest live in west jerusalem let's bring in our correspondent in washington d.c. now mike hanna is joining us from there how talking about the efforts being taken

by the united nations by israel in trying to calm tensions by egypt rather than trying to calm tensions between israel and hamas but this attack is also coming at a time mike that the u.s. was thought to be close to revealing its peace initiative for israel and hamas and palestine. here's indeed there's been indication in recent days that president trump is about to unveil his so-called peace initiative back in september following a meeting with benjamin netanyahu president trump said that he would release the initiative in two to four months is what he said then that would bring it up to around the beginning of december in the last week the representative for the region president trump's representative jason green blatt told the meeting in london that the initiative was about to be made public so clearly they were contemplating making whatever the initiative is a one drawn up it's believed by jared cushion of the president's son in law that

they were going to make it public in coming days or weeks as it may be but obviously the situation in gaza may well put a brake on this particular process should it be under way and not that the palestinians would have been expecting anything from this peace initiative michael given the steps that this u.s. administration has taken this year everything from recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem to the other actions that it has taken. yes indeed the palestinian leadership has been absolutely adamant that they will have no part in discussing or negotiating any initiative that president trump would be released the simple reason they argue is that the u.s. cannot be seen as an independent impartial arbiter in the ongoing crisis this because they see the trump administration as completely openly biased towards

israel something incidentally that the trumpet ministration does not deny in any way president trump has made quite clear that his national priority is to insure israeli security to protect israel that is his public position and from the palestinian side there is no interest whatsoever in taking part in a process that they believe is biased towards israel from the out and one must also to see the deterioration of the relationship between the u.s. and palestinian and why the terms that embassy has been shut down in washington diplomats have been had their visas taken away their families visas taken away so certainly if the speech initiative is made public there is not going to be any involvement by the palestinian leadership which obviously would undercut the entire process from the very beginning and i know mike that you've reached out to the state department i don't know if you've heard back from them but we can expect the

trumpet ministration. if and when it does react to this attack to react in the same way that actually any other administration before it has in terms of supporting completely supporting what israel does. well we have approached both state department and the white house for comment on the situation has had any common forthcoming. mention the white house says the trumpet ministration in particular has made very clear that its primary interest is the security of israel so any reaction that is forthcoming would be very much along those lines mike thank you very much for that final that's mike hanna he's live in washington d.c. we're going to hear from diplomatic editor james bass now he's in paris and he spoke to was saying that the raid will likely be a focus of talks between world leaders in france of course commemorating one hundred years since the end of world war one but i think it's likely in the coming

hours the focus of diplomacy may well be here in the french capital because all the commemorations of well. we've had a large group of global leaders here over seventy leaders here in this city at the same time actually some of the president have made that way but others are still in the city and benjamin met netanyahu who clearly has been briefed on what's been going on in gaza i'm sure was fully briefed on this and it's interesting to know whether he at any point when he spoke to president trump told him about any israeli plan this is something that the u.n. security council had been warned about fresh problem clicked breaking out in gaza and clearly is one of the problems members of the u.n. security council talking of the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh conflicts of company climber who was the u.n. special court based in jerusalem and he was holding the ground for.

the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he has a meeting with president macro in.
