have to decide whether the kind of airstrikes that israel has exacted on hamas will be seen in israel as enough of a price as will of course similar calculations being made inside gaza as well but both sides on the other side of the ledger have been committing themselves publicly and saying that it is worth trying to reach some kind of longer term truce so there is obviously a lot of calculation of debate going along on both sides and both sides are always hostage to events once military action gets underway perry thank you harry for said life on the israel side of that border with gaza let's bring in now angie nasser what are you seeing online and you on this well there's one moment from monday that many people online have certainly latched on to and that's the bombing of gaza's largest broadcasting channel t.v. by the israeli army the footage of this blast went viral on social media platforms especially this clip here you'll see the palestinian broadcaster building in a moment with fire and flames shooting out of it and maybe able to hear some of the

screams that can also be heard in the background and we heard from two journalists in gaza one of whom works in that building this is what they had to say this is a three day. to show its code of last night a very nice wise guys is a good preparation i was going through a good time they started with the civilian infrastructure if we know they were fishermen who lives there was in homes to spread fear into israel is used to kill journalists at least two were killed this year that are full of lots of t.v. will wear it even from their homes and streets they will continue sending the food and the messages to the whole world speaking about the crimes the israelis commit. so plenty of other people have been outraged by this attack calling it

a crime against journalists one israeli commentator tweeted that journalists should never be targets adding that he can't express enough outrage over this bombing another user said that it's not that israel targeted a t.v. station or even journalists he makes a point that as long as it's palestinians israel he believes has a readiness to attack now alex here says that israel destroyed the t.v. station by justifying that their link to hamas he says that the double standards are outrageous imagine the outrage if hamas bombs an israeli government news station located in civilian areas now in general we see the israeli army saying that house is overall responsible for burying the consequences of its actions in gaza but let us know what you think we'd like to hear your thoughts especially if you're in israel or in gaza connect with us on twitter using the hash tag edge and screwed by sensual joining us now is tell me a palestinian israeli affairs analyst live from london thanks very much for being

with us so what i mean i was asking this question before but i want to know what your thoughts are on it what are the chances now of any sort of a cease fire between israel and hamas at this point given given the latest violence and given the fact that it really isn't in the interests of either side to continue to escalate this. well indeed the escalation is not in the interest of either side than the we've been there before and this is not the first time. the two sides. were engaged in negotiations to reach a truce of some sort and then the israelis just go on attack this is what happened when the last war when they assassinated the top hamas commander jobbery who was actually on his way to a meeting to negotiate a cease fire but it seems to me that this operation by the israelis on sunday

evening was probably a rogue operation and i think netanyahu was at the time in paris someone must have decided to do it for his own purposes it went wrong and it led to this escalation i am convinced that it is still possible for both sides to resume negotiations so just to be clear when you're saying it's a rogue operation you're suggesting that this was done without the the prime minister's knowledge but isn't it the case though that any any lots of these operate these operations and operation is important this is not carried out without the prime minister signing off or it. well see just before he left for potus netanyahu was talking favorably about the negotiations with hamas. it is just inconceivable that at the same time he'd give his consent to such as

a silly operation provoking. or triggering this recent flare of violence. and i think is a doesn't want a war how must doesn't want a war egypt doesn't want a war there you end it is trying its best to broker a deal and they've been actually talking for months. until now i have master saying that they would they they will stop. launching rockets into israel when israel stops attacking them or what are the chances of that happening if that is true and i mean we saw what happened hamas immediately retaliated to the assassination of its commander by attacking a bus full of israeli troops and therefore the israelis know it israeli commanders know it that hamas you can't play with hamas you know you have to play in a toy around with hammers hamas is serious it is willing to enter into negotiations

but if you attack if you violate then you will receive some sort of murder spawn's we're just hearing as well now that a new cease fire has been agreed upon agreed upon and confirmed what are your thoughts on that given that we've. been here before with with with cease fires that are put in place and then and then broken well what do you what do you make of that . you see all parties in the region are in real predicament at the moment a cease fire a fairly a lot less a. slightly longer a sort of truce is needed by all all the parties the egyptians wanted for their own purposes the. palestinians wanted for their own purposes and the israelis as well so a cease fire is in favor of everybody but there are elements there finitely there are

elements within israel that do not favor a ceasefire and probably one of those elements is the one who ordered that silly operation on sunday evening i sent to me thanks very much for being with us or i will if you want to explore more background on this on line palestinians in gaza have been protesting along the fence with israel demanding the right to return to the homes their families were expelled from seventy years ago our colleagues at al jazeera dot com have a page which updates all the latest developments on those protests going back more than six months now libya's two main rival leaders have met on the italian island of sicily at a summit aimed at ending seven years of fighting there the leader of the un back

government in tripoli fay is sarah bajc came face to face with a renegade general after for the first time in five months after is still refusing to take part in the wider libya talks with other factions though continuing violence has forced the u.n. to hold off on elections which were planned for next month. well john hole has more on this from so journo what has come out of this international conference on libya at this point. well we're waiting as we speak hours and for the final press conference due to be given any minute now by prime minister recep because of italy the hosts here of course the talks the wider talks as you mentioned are over thirty countries had been participating but really it was only one key meeting i think that everyone was interested in that was as you mentioned meeting khalifa haftar along with the along with the u.n.

envoy. may along with the various foreign backers of both of those sides the egyptians the russians and the french on the haft our side he controls of course the east of the country and the italians of the u.n. who normally back the house or irish government and you know that meeting it seems we expect to hear more as i say perhaps have a little more fleshed out by the italian prime minister it seems resulted in some form of security guarantee that there would be relative peace and stability in the country leading towards a new u.n. track a new u.n. timeline towards elections middle of next year that would involve a national conference in libya happening sometime in the early part of next year and allowing the libyans themselves in an atmosphere of relative stability to get together and decide what sort of electoral system they want to see in place whether they want to vote for a parliamentary system or presidential system to approve an electoral more they

don't even have one of those in place at the moment and then as i say leading to a vote a few months later so i think what we'll hear from mr conti is that they reached agreements on security and that they reached agreements that all concerned parties would fall in line behind this u.n. plan what we don't know and what we may yet find out. is whether there was any firm commitment given in writing or whether all of this is being taken essentially on trust as a verbal agreement between these men and i suppose it's fitting jonah that this conference is taking place in sicily because italy has a real stake in the stability of libya as a country because of the ongoing migrant situation with so many of them coming from from africa trying to get to southern europe through libya. well i think that will have been a large element of the sort of security talks and of course the backdrop to this whole conference is there is a rivalry

a not so quiet rivalry between italy and france over which of those two e.u. countries would take the lead in diplomacy on libya they both have deep vested interests in in in energy and so on but diverging interests on security italy of course as you say look very keen to halt the flow of migrants and refugees across the mediterranean france rather more keen on establishing security towards the south closer to its former colonies in the side hell if their forces have tired a strongman as it's favorite and italy rather more used to dealing with the size of the government and the u.n. structures in tripoli so a rivalry between italy and france whether that's been put to bed here we've yet to see journey thanks for that jonah how in italy how soon lanka supremes court has blocked the president's move to dissolve parliament it is the latest twist in a constitutional crisis that began when president martelly policy be seen as sacked

and replaced the prime minister alive now to sri lanka's capital colombo where we have a bernard smith so to tell us more about the supreme court ruling. well this is a real slap down because president from the supreme court it said that there is a case to be answered in an argument that the president has acted unconstitutionally in dissolving parliament and setting new elections in january and things have really gone from bad to worse for president serious a innocency fired prime minister with a single of the prime minister has said well i'm not going you this is been unconstitutional president says i've got the numbers in palm and so will recall parliament to prove that i'm right and my replacement is the just prime minister mahinda rajapaksa but then it seems the president doesn't have the numbers because he doesn't call it dissolves it instead and this is when plaintiffs are opposition

parties and civil society groups step in and say this is just going against the grain the constitution was changed to take power from the president and give it to politicians a couple of years ago and supporters outside the court earlier this evening were delighted with the supreme court's ruling and of course as we said this is the latest twist in what many are saying is a constitutional crisis playing out in sri lanka right now so what happens next. for parliament sits tomorrow we know is going to local time tomorrow wednesday because that was when it was supposed to sit before the president tried to dissolve it parliament sits it's expected that they will vote on who they believe should be prime minister serrano were missing because he's still got the support and if that is the case then he can stay in temple trees the official residence where he's been holding out since the prime minister fired in the end of october meanwhile mahinda

rajapaksa who's been acting as prime minister has appointed a cabinet has been using the prime minister's office is well he's. also would have been humiliated by water. but over the last couple of weeks but the biggest problem will be the press or in iraq we're going to and we're going to have to leave it there because really go live now to palermo in italy where that news conference is taking place now on the future of italy of the future of libya success and as an important milestone in our common struggle to bring back peace security and prosperity to the libyan people. the libyan people deserve. a life that is much better than the one they are now under and to see that the international community can gather.

a unified message to them that it is high time they take their destiny in their own hands with our support. is crucial. palermo will be remembered as a milestone in this common effort to help our b. and friends. have a clear path forward out of the situation. in which the country has slipped into. so thank you mr president for taking this initiative and i am sure i speak for my libyan friends when i say thanks for your concern. thanks for the fact that you have allowed these stakeholders to come together in the beautiful city of palermo in such a beautiful weather and the trip beautiful place. with

it does this. special have them boy thank you dear friend. i wish to. really thing all of the participants for the conference and in particular you for the commitment you have constantly given in pursuing this objective and i am really pleased you have appreciated the spirit of palermo the good atmosphere we experienced. and we can bear witness to what has been achieved in these two days and. for the presence of the in libya in. two

pursuant and are convinced. about this journey forward there's a great hope. we shall leave them or we're all about to leave but what we take with us is a feeling of trust. for stabilization for libya. and way don't want any. disappointments with one to any delusions and i said right from the start. my government. did not think that this conference was just a showcase we. we wanted to achieve something it's not an opportunity we wish to contribute

also as a country towards the initiative undertaken by the united nations which you are carrying out and. moving forward because we want to reassure and ensure the libyans six million citizens men and women who wish to vote to decide to the destiny and have stability of with a united libya a stable libya and they're looking forward to reach these goals libya is a friend for us we have been linked for a long time ago through friendship economic cooperation cultural links and we really feel responsible. in by offering a contribution towards these results in particular we have tackled during the

conference several subjects' theme. and. the international community will remain. and already to support. libyan friends. this is the spirit of the international community we have. terkel's specific the us also with regard to politics improving security for the country. and accelerate. economic reforms for the country i thank you for taking. so many of you have taken part and have followed very carefully the conference now are there any questions yes we have some questions. all right so you've just been listening there to italian prime minister conti speaking

at the close of this international conference on the future of libya we just heard a little bit earlier before. we heard from the special u.n. envoy on libya talking as well reaffirming their efforts to bring stability to the country. he is the u.n. envoy for libya had earlier wanted elections to take place in in december this year because of the recent violence has talked about putting that off until next summer we'll have more developments on that as and when they happen let's go back to the whole now in palermo so john you were just hearing there. from the italian prime minister reaffirming. their commitment to libya's future and laying out the priorities certainly as far as italy is concerned.

yes i think what we've heard there are certainly positive words from the italian prime minister and crucially from the u.n. envoy son sell in may as well at the conclusion of this conference mr sullum a saying in his view it was a success he's rarely seen such a spirit of cordiality and cohesion among the key players of course we had earlier today a meeting between the u.n. backed prime minister in tripoli are surrounded and khalifa haftar the renegade general who controls the east the first time they've met since may we've seen pictures of them shaking hands with mr saddam at least with mr conti smiling and appearing at that meeting took place in warm circumstances if we have a suggestion from both sides both conti and may that the international community is united behind the new u.n. path but for see you libyan national conference taking place early next year

allowing the libyans themselves to decide on the type of elections they want to have leading to a vote by the middle of next year what i think is notably absent in the comments we've just heard are any specifics they've said that security was on the agenda and they've received assurances about security they've made progress on the economy no specifics and crucially we're not being told that anything was actually signed between the parties here we know that mr. tweeted his support of the u.n. plan we know that mr fairlie for mr have said virt he had no intention of changing horses before the finish line suggesting that he was happy to see soros continue as prime minister ahead of elections tacitly therefore supporting the u.n. line that's i think the best that this conference has been able to achieve some sort of tacit agreement among the international community to back opposite sides and between those two opposite sides that they will for the time being at least follow a new u.n. agenda a new u.n.

time line towards libyan driven of course elections next year jonah thank you are jenna how life for us in parliament. are to some breaking news now on one of our top stories a new cease fire has been agreed between israel and the palestinian factions in gaza we were just to mention that earlier with our guest was going to harry foresaid who is a lifer sanaa how laws on the israel border israel gaza border zahari what more are we hearing on that. well this is coming from inside gaza or it's coming from the palestinian armed factions the so-called joint operations room of those factions led obviously by hamas and hamas military wing the arcus summer agaves and they are saying that yes they have reached a ceasefire through gyptian mediation once more to to restart the situation that prevailed up until sunday night a cease fire between israel and hamas after all the military escalation that we've

seen over just over the last twenty four hours as for the israelis they typically do not confirm or deny such things when we've seen military escalation is reaching the brink of a of a real escalation towards war in recent months this is the typical way that these things start to wind down that the palestinians announce that they have reached a cease fire israel remains very quiet however israeli media are reporting quoting an unnamed official who says that the palestinian factions tried through four separate mediators to request a cease fire and that israel maintains it will assess the situation on the ground and act accordingly so that is a tacit i would say i'll even go so far to say that is a tacit admission that there is at least the start of a resumption of a ceasefire under way we heard from the end of the very long israeli security cabinet meeting

a very terse statement after that saying that the military had been directed to continue its actions in gaza as required or as necessary well if there is a cease fire perhaps no further actions are necessary things still remain very delicately balanced but there does seem to be some limited at least breakthrough that's what we're seeing at the moment we're certainly not hearing any more airstrikes in the last hour or so and there does seem to be real progress here yeah delicately balanced indeed and not to put a damper on this harry but as we know a cease fire is like this have come and gone before what are the chances that this one will hold. well it's always hard to say however i think given just how significant the exchange of of fire has been over the last day or so i think there is a lot vested in this i mean the fact that some four hundred rockets were launched

out of gaza the fact that the israeli air strikes have been different in character from what we've seen earlier in the year they've been attacking hamas and hamas linked targets in built up areas there was a real prospect of this descending into a much wider scale conflict and as things stand there have been seven palestinians killed since this exchange of fire of course there was the israeli incursion on sunday in which seven palestinians were killed when israeli covert soldier was killed as well then but since this response from hamas and the air strikes that have begun in response to that from israel being seven deaths inside gaza one on the israeli side that death of a palestinian man living inside israel if things continue to carry on there's always the risk of something happening that the logic of military escalation would just kick in and it would be unavoidable so perhaps both sides are trying as much as they can to stop it before it goes too far that's obviously the hope of so many

people in gaza and around it indeed to harry force a life for us there in the house on the israel gaza border on the latest developments there this agreed ceasefire between the two sides are the united nations human rights chief has called on bangladesh to stop plans to send range of refugees back to myanmar two thousand two hundred ranger are due to return from crowded camps where hundreds of thousands fled to get away from a man mom military crackdown. mohamad mtume has been following this story for us from cox's bazar in bangladesh somehow at the u.n. adding that it won't assist refugees who get interned in camps in myanmar what more on that. yeah that's right how is it and let's go back for a second to that statement that very significant statement from michelle by chalet

who is of course the u.n. high commissioner on human rights this is a very dire warning she said in a statement was released just in the past few hours that returning rohinton are refugees to me and more would not to be a violation of international law but also that it would be a serious danger to the lives and freedom of those for him to refugees and we must remember that we are just about two months since a u.n. fact finding mission said that they believe that a genocide has been her pretreated against they were him to and that members of me in mars military should be prosecuted for genocidal intent just in the past few weeks one member of that u.n. fact finding mission said that they believe that the genocide in iraq and say to me any more it was ongoing against there were hidden what we must remember is that there has yet to be any mechanism created that would ensure the safe return that

would guarantee the safety and security over him if they were to go back to me and more now we are told by bangladesh officials that this deal that bangladesh has made with me and more in order to repatriate possibly two thousand two hundred refugees is still on track to start on thursday two days from now november fifteenth but it is riddled with complications and many of the refugees who say they have been notified their names are on this list say that they do not want to go back the government of bangladesh is saying that nobody will be forced to return but there is a growing sense of panic in many quarters of the or hinder community here in cox's bizarre that perhaps it will be non-voluntary that perhaps they will be forced and they are terrified at the prospect of going back having suffered such atrocity. yes at the hands of me and more is military and others in iraq and state just over a year ago so it's a very complicated situation we're just not sure at this point if it is actually

going to start or not bangladesh government officials tell us they believe that it will u.n.h.c.r. members here in the refugee agency here in cox's are say that they are still assessing they are trying to determine if the names that are on the list if these are interesting g.'s that would want to return and of course they would not recommend that anybody return unless they want to return so it's very complex it's very nuanced but growing concern you're hearing now not just from him to refugees but all the way to the top of the ladder as the u.n. as far as what this could mean these are very dire warnings this is very serious these circumstances and many are saying that this repatriation should just not happen right now has a very uncertain situation for people in those camps in bangladesh for the moment mohammed gen jim lifeless in cox is bizarre. french president emanuel mccraw has found himself the target of donald trump's latest tweet stormed the u.s.

president mocking micron's approval ratings and suggesting france would have lost both world wars if america didn't step in it follows a veiled swipe from mccrone during world war one commemorations over the weekend emmanuel mar cross suggests building its own army to protect europe against the us china and russia but it has germany in world wars one and two how did that work out for france this is the present president trying to tweak they were starting to learn german in paris before the u.s. came along pay for nato or not. goes on the problem is that manual macross suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent and an unemployment rate of almost ten percent he was just trying to get on to another subject by the way there is no country more nationalist than france very proud people and rightfully so we can believe how kit is live for us from washington so kimberly what else has

president trying to eat it. this was a sit in the this was a series of tweets this is the twitter stream on tuesday morning but it started last week and there's no question that emanuel has touched a nerve when it comes to donald trump and his view of world history and the contributions that the united states he believes and you know i would say the majority of americans believe that there was a significant role played by the united states particularly in protecting europe and the fact that manual mccraw has sort of sparred with donald trump on a particularly significant historical day is not sitting well with the u.s. president so we saw him fighting back this verbal sparring match when the. called for a true european army to act as a counterweight to the united states we saw the president pushing back calling that insulting as he tweeted from air force one and that has continued today with

a series of tweets where the president has not only hit back jabbing at manual macross low approval ratings but everything about the tariffs involving wine and so this is certainly what many would say would be at least a temporary halt to the bromance that we saw between the two you will remember that the president did host emmanuel mccraw for his first state dinner some months ago in the spring earlier this year where the two seem to get along rather well but again it appears that he's touched on a nerve the president tweeting out that not only sort of continuing that argument that he's long made that the united states has played an important role in terms of nato pushing for all member states to pay two percent of their gross domestic product or g.d.p. something that has increased under donald trump but the president feels still needs to be accomplished further but also the fact that he believes that there is a lack of recognition for the contributions that the united states has played so

far and historically something that he wanted to highlight on twitter. kimberly how good live in washington are to the western u.s. now where search teams are trying to recover bodies from california's worst ever wildfire that's killed at least forty two people other fires continue to burn out of control across the strait across the state a red flag warning stretches from north to south in the south the smaller hill fire is mostly contained but the larger woolsey blaze has already claimed two lives and left a trail of destruction of beach resorts including malibu in northern california the town of powered ice has been wiped out as the camp fire continues to burn stasia take reports. in the forests of northern california night brings little respond and these firefighters have been working on multiple fronts and this is my first day on the fire it's been going for about three days now but i spent the first two

to three days just dealing with the threat to my own home in my own community and then to come out here i mean this is the calling in the nearby town of chico some of the quarter million people forced to flee their homes across the state are now wondering what the future holds we will rebuild. one step at a time we were rebuild our home he will be a part of rebuilding that town because it's a futile happen. and you know thank you so much everybody's been so wonderful just have to count our blessings. and not count the losses. but there have been so many losses this is what's left of paradise more than two hundred people a still missing investigators now combing through the debris and ashes of this incinerated town and. some bodies have been found and gutted cause the flames moving faster than they could drive to my bow being brought in to help identify the

dead but officials warn finding bodies could take weeks as of today an additional thirteen human remains have been recovered which brings the total number to forty two if i understand that makes this the deadliest fire in the history of the united states wild land fire in history united states south in los angeles county the hills are still smoking the fire here is only ten percent contained. in parts of malibu some residents are returning to the scorched slopes my neighbors i see my house was in for then i wouldn't be here there's lots of. areas here that men burn they came over here with water buckets and put out fires and. just very very grateful to them for sure. others stayed to defend their own homes when the fire came over the hill here and there was about sixty mile an hour plus turn pitch

black the firestorm came over after that just right around and put out fires but not all the fires have been pushed out and with no rain forecast and strong winds still blowing there's nothing to stop them burning. al-jazeera. how the man known as the father of superheroes stan lee died on monday in los angeles at the age of ninety five a massive number of tributes are being shed on him and his back to tell us what people are saying and things has him well we took a look at this and there's been more than five million mentions of his name on twitter alone over the last twenty four hours so many people tweeting about this especially from the united states brazil the u.k. and mexico and there's really no wonder when you look back at some of the comic book legends the characters that he has created i'm not a massive fan myself but then once i looked into this i really realized that i am i

mean just look at some of these names black panther spider-man x.-men for iron man the fantastic four incredible hulk daredevil and man and others so many characters and many of the tributes that are pouring in are about stanley the man but so many others or about the characters that he created and what they have done for marvel fans take a listen. if it wasn't for those characters there's a lot of people that have turned out differently i know personally that the whole spiderman were kind of morphed my. my my persona they can be both they can be destroyed they can be broken but at the same time it's what they that's what he does with that brokenness and overcoming the obstacles that these characters have to basically rise out of the rise out of their. and out their desperate situations and become a hero and continue to save the world even if they're not making the right decision it's showing. a path that even if it's a path that you shouldn't take it's showing you specific decisions and it can be

instructive in that way. so i think stan's legacy is ultimately to. make human society function better and lots of big names in hollywood are sharing many of these similar sorts of thoughts the actor seth rogan here expressing his thanks to stan lee for making people who feel different realize they are special another one here from the law must many people might consider him sort of a real life tony stark if you will and he wrote that the many worlds of imagination and the light that you created for humanity will last forever the astrologist sorry about these dollars the american astrophysicist very different neil de grasse tyson credited with creating an expanding universe of scientifically literate superheroes who knows how many people those characters and stanley has inspired over the years to study science or engineering and you know remember that his first job in comic books paid him just eight dollars a week by the time he died stanley's creations grossed more than twenty four

billion dollars at the box office and he actually made cameos in thirty five of them so the next time you watch one of his films look out for one of his characters who often the spent some life and rich ng advice hasn't. the late great stan lee who died on monday joe has your sport in just a moment how much is a player's brian wood the national hockey league has agreed a settlement with former players suffering from brain injuries the reaction. of her. feel. you.

feel. you you. feel . i knew.

i don't again so before the break i asked you how much a hockey player is brain is worth joe has the answer i do has according to the national hockey league it's around twenty thousand dollars that's the amount that more than three hundred retired players are being offered in a settlement by the league after a concussion lawsuit that's lasted more than four years players will also be paid some extra medical costs but they have seventy five days to decide whether to accept the deal and the league is refusing to take responsibility for injuries now three hundred eighteen players sued the n.h.l. accusing it of failing to protect them from head injuries or warning them the risks involved with playing well the n.h.l. has refused to accept a link between neurological problems in the game they did make changes to their concussion rules two seasons ago employing independent spotters who could force players out of the games they showed signs of concussion but the n.h.l. eighteen point nine million dollars settlement pales in comparison to that of the national football league who create a one billion dollars payout with former players in two thousand and thirteen

daniel costello who's a two time stanley cup winner and one of those players involved in the lawsuit has a play is not to accept the settlement a wrote this on twitter today was a highly emotional day for me i'm home with my son now holding him having a good cry it's hard to imagine losing my memory and possibly one day not recognizing his face and my going to die at a young age because i played hockey for a living the former chicago blackhawks player even made a video for the players tribune on the fight to save his brain from post-concussion syndrome what's the point of. point fashion sports. is supposed to be for memories you know. can't remember that anymore it's. really scary yeah. i played the game very hard and yeah so you have many traumatic brain injuries

sustained i would give back all of my money and give back all of the time you can take my name off the stanley cup twice over but i can't can't live like that. you just can't. all right but the pressure will be on roger federer the a.t.p. world tour finals in london later the swiss is going phase one hundred create title this week but a frustrating outing a couple of days ago isn't a cane issue corey will be hoping things go a bit better when he plays dominic tame in his second group much as was fighting for his survival on court federer also finds himself at the center of about favoritism is off to doubles players union bennett's home claimed in an interview on french radio that tournament organizers are often conduct of federal when it comes to scheduling much is now but it's also a criticized federer's financial involvement in the leyva cop a rival team event to the davis cup which is backed by federer's management company

team eight and federer is of course a huge fan favorite most seem to believe that he's earned all the benefits he gets that sentiment is also backed by novak djokovic. i mean i understand julien's point because sometimes it does seem you know that. maybe certain players get more favored year after year in certain tournaments but you've got to have to kind of follow the pattern to really understand whether there is a case or not but. again on the other side you have to understand that these you know also said there is a driving force of tennis in terms of revenue in terms of attention in terms of all these different things so julian and guys you know guys like you like him are also benefiting from from tennis a lot because of roger you know because of what he has done for the sport and there was no drama for joke of it on the court on monday the serbian sail past john isner

underlining his credentials as favorite to win a six year entitle there are plenty of famous faces sides thoughts christiane or another skills as a ball boy leave a lot to be desired thankfully the event is in portugal he's much better with the at his. pace will be back more sport at eighteen hundred g.m.t. but for now it is back to have them. thanks joe these are all the ways you can get in touch with us that is it for the news grid we'll be back here twenty four hours from now. i think this is fun for me you think i'm having fun it. isn't her. feet. just. think.

they're waiting for someone you know just looking. to. getting to the heart of the matter how can you be a refugee after you while eight borders between five safe countries facing new

realities the pain starts from the very beginning of the ballet exclusively providing context housing is not just about four walls and a roof hear their story and talk to how does iraq. a congress divided between democrats and republicans. what does it mean for america and the world in these remaining two years of donald trump's presidency to. find out on al-jazeera. a cease fire is agreed between israel and palestinian factions which could bring days of cross border violence to an end.

i know i'm maryanne demasi in london now with al jazeera also coming up the airport x. ray images that could offer clues into how a saudi hit squad may have carried out the murder of jamal khashoggi. court deals a blow to the president rule ruling against his decision to dissolve parliament. and. california as authorities prepare for a rise in the death toll from the deadliest fires in the state's history. but we begin with confirmation that a cease fire has been agreed between israel and palestinian factions in gaza bringing to an end days of cross border violence which began on sunday let's go straight to force it to is in southern israel near the border with gaza take us through exactly what's been agreed here. well yes it's we're saying that this confirmation is only coming from one side at least in any depth or detail not side

is from inside gaza behind me the the joint operations room of the palestinian armed factions of course the most senior of those being the the brigades of hamas hamas as movie wing they have come out with a statement saying that they have reached a cease fire thanks to egyptian mediation and that cease fire will be restarting as long as israelis the israeli military does not carry out any further attacks on gaza so far as israel is concerned we're getting no official statement from the israelis but we are hearing israeli media reporting an unnamed official from the israeli government saying that israel had been given the request through four separate mediation re channels from the palestinians for a cease fire saying that they will continue to operate as things play out on the

ground so that does at least leave open that the prospect that this cease fire will hold the israelis aren't saying that they're going to continue their military operations there was this six hour security cabinet meeting that took place led by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the end of that was a very terse statement saying that the israeli military had been given the go ahead to continue its actions in gaza as required well if the requirement is to see how the cease fire plays out there is at least room for it potentially to work. harry clearly both sides have their domestic constituencies to think all there is pressure on the one hand for this to escalate that's always there but also but political important political gains to be had from pulling back from any all out offensive. yes there are very fine calicut calculations to be made on both sides as far as the palestinians are concerned there was this israeli incursion into gaza

territory on sunday night it resulted in the deaths of seven members of the alka some brigades one of them a senior regional command of and from the south east of gaza so that as far as many in in gaza are concerned especially in the leadership that mandated a significant response and we saw a huge faraj rocket fire coming out of gaza. less than twenty four hours later that is being responded to by the israelis there is pressure on the israelis to show that they. exacting the right kind of price from hamas for allowing and of and for firing so many rockets out of gaza into the surrounding israeli areas the question is whether they will both be satisfied on both sides it enough has been done the other motivation the counter motivation is for hamas to secure the gains that have been made from these cease fire talks in recent weeks the fuel coming in to fuel the electricity power station the money coming in to allow some salaries of

civil servants to be paid getting some sort of fuel back into the economy which is being on the verge of collapse these are significant things especially for the residents of gaza and you just heard a couple days ago from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that he had built up some political capital over the recent years and it was worth trying to spend that on trying to reach a ceasefire agreement here in southern israel on the borders with gaza and that if there was some political backlash then it might be worth it that of course was before this latest round of escalation for now though things seem to be holding and there is at least room to try another ceasefire attempt thank you very much aaron force it with all the latest from southern israel there just near the border with gaza thank you harry.

now to new developments in the case of mudded saudi journalist jamal khashoggi a turkish newspaper has published x. ray images of the suitcases carried by the saudi hit squad which carried out the killing in istanbul last month and the white house national security adviser john bolton has also suggested apparent audio recordings do not link the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sell none to the crime so let's go live now to demolish al who is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul first of all these extra images what do they show. well they don't show the main tool widely believed to have been used to dismember the body of jamal khashoggi namely the bonsall which has become so linked to this case at least since the beginning however the images show syringes the show. jamming devices the show we close our kids' telecommunication handsets that are used for secure

communication between special forces and intelligence operatives they show tasers and other things like that's obviously the narrative that we had broken several weeks ago from our sources was that it was believed that after dramatically entered the consulate and there was some form of shouting board or discussion so that he was descended upon by members of this kill squad and then injected whether he was injected with a lethal injection or something that subdued him we weren't quite sure so therefore there is a link that possibly those syringes were behind it but the fact that these now were released over a month after the. operation to kill him to assassinate him is telling it shows that the turks still have evidence they haven't disclosed it shows that maybe they are still keeping their options open considering that they say and they feel that they have not been given the cooperation or met with the cooperation they demand from the saudis nor even from the international community that's even though

they've shared intelligence with the united states united kingdom germany and others they still haven't seen that international consensus demanding that the saudis reveal who ordered this how it was done and how the perpetrators will be brought to justice and some very significant comments from the u.s. national security adviser john bolton he is saying that the old recordings that have been released by taki don't implicate the crown prince and. well the u.s. continues to double down on its man in riyadh namely crown prince mohammed bin some an obviously the relationship between the trumpet ministration and the defacto ruler of saudi arabia is well known and. john bolton is no different than george christian or donald trump in the sense that he is a strong supporter of the regime there so he's come out and responded to questions by journalists saying that's according to a transcript of a phone conversation between modern melted they had over the kills board whilst he

was in turkey ones the assassination operation was concluded he made a phone call to the secretary of crown prince mohammed bin said a man in it's he told the person on the other line believed to be obviously in saudi arabia tell your boss that the operation has been concluded or the deed has been done this is a loose translation obviously we haven't heard the actual original arabic of it's by your boss it is widely believed understood that that is in reference to crown prince mohammed bin sort of man but because he felt short or at least that transcript doesn't show that he specifically said to have been summoned there for bolton sees that this doesn't necessarily link him but the common belief amongst those who have been privy to it they say that it is pretty as close as you could get to a smoking gun the question is will the charges actually interprets it officially like that's will they come out and say this is the evidence we have and it proves or do they have specific evidence which clearly links might have been some money even more want to quite sure but till now they have continuously eluded to the fact

that they believe albeit they haven't said that explicitly but they do believe that this operation could not have happened were not for the knowledge and or or the decree of crown prince mohammed bin samantha thank you very much shall that in istanbul. priem court has overruled the president's bid to dissolve parliament on hold snap elections in january this is the latest twist in a power struggle that began when my trip palliser cena sacked the prime minister and replaced him with the former president and the rajapaksa the two hundred twenty five member parliament could meet as early as wednesday to decide which of the dealing pat it backs let's go for it but it's myth and colombo for more so we have here top court overruling the president's decision what happens now

mario is a significant slap down really of the president by the supreme court it says there is an argument to hear that the president is acted unconstitutionally by dissolving polling calling you elections in january things are really going from bad to worse for present policy to say in a sense he fired one present prime minister at the end of october the prime minister refused to leave and said he was actually going constitutionally the president said ok i'll go to be recalled parliament i've got the numbers to back my decision up but it transpires that the president doesn't really have the numbers so instead he dissolved parliament which brings us to the case that was brought to the supreme court today and it is ruled in favor of those plaintiffs outside court those people who brought our case would like to. hear we have an independent and just judiciary. clinically interpreting the

provisions and stipulations in the constitution and abiding by older legal norms and traditions look for more democracy justice and fairness. now significantly what happens is that palm and will now meet and will meet tomorrow wednesday. and eventually m.p.'s will get to vote on who they believe should be prime minister is he going to be running a single well he says he still has the numbers and so he gets to stay in the prime minister's residence official residence where he's been holding out since the end of october and if he goes there for against mahinda rajapaksa sworn in only at the end of october by the president then he's out and out within go all the cabinet ministers that were appointed in the in the days after his.
