a person citizenship if they deemed a security risk providing it doesn't leave them stateless it's believed begum has bangladeshi heritage and is eligible for citizenship but when asked about the case the country's foreign ministry said teenage begum is not a bangladeshi citizen there is no question of begum being allowed to enter bangladesh bacon's infant son is a british national by birth the british government says his rights are not affected . this is bethnal green where she grew up an area with a large bangladeshi community in london's eastend the case is divided opinion here . there's just so many factors in this and i'm actually quite bit torn to that one hundred it was the truth but this is a ship i want them to bring her in the baby ava but the other hand i'm like she did go away and she did join you know terrorist group. only fifteen when she left for syria. including the former head of britain's foreign intelligence service m i six

wedding procession was going through with cars this is normally a very busy total fare lots of rickshaws even cars go through barely fourteen feet wide a lot of restaurants shops people living quite are it's an all part of the dhaka capital city so lots of people here what happened according to the witness was one of the caught in the wedding party that the cylinder a lot of the cars run on natural gas here they said the cylinder exploded on the car went out few feet high and that explosion spread to the restaurant in that building you had cooking still and that exploded and there was a storage underneath for part film chemical and the fire spread is only and destroying at least four houses and at least a dozen people in that wedding procession or people in the street rather who are in the rickshaw has got burned and according to the witness some of them died on the

spot a few to the explosion i spoke to a major shock in disaster expired for fire management he pretty much said that that possibly is the case but they don't know for sure whether that cylinder was from the restaurant that explosion was due to the car they're still investigating but people are devastated he had many people lost their dear ones air by that can go in this is restricted normally this whole area is full of rickshaws a very vibrant place a lot of shops clothing shops in the restaurants and people living in this but top off and most importantly this sort of incident happened in two thousand and ten hundred twenty three p. . died in a plastic molding factory despite all the promises the government made there are still issues related to chemical and plastic within the living quarters of the old city and people are concerned about that i'm sure they'll be a promise that things will be better but it's just the way of the economy runs and

there's the old city it's difficult people to stay with their businesses. without summer assistance. speaking to us live from dhaka thank you for that. the head of the catholic church has angered survivors of sexual abuse the four a four day conference of the basque and even begins the pope was jews and made to victims on wednesday ahead of the meeting of senior clergy but he didn't show up for a challenge reports from. each of these people have stories to tell their own stories or other people's stories of years of suffering in the hands of catholic priests bishops and cardinals. on the eve of an unprecedented meeting on sexual abuse at the vatican they brought their stories to tell francis. speaking to journalists and earlier in the day survivors explained what they wanted but zero tolerance if you've abused a child you're not going to be

a priest anymore and if you've covered up for that abuse or. you too are not going to be a priest anymore. starting from when he was seven peter saunders was abused by three different men it was it was sexual assault i don't i don't i don't need to go into a graphic detail but i was sexually assaulted by these characters and i have recovered in the physical sense it didn't have any. effect on me what these creatures did to me i still actually have a weekly therapy session because it messes your mind up it's abuse like this that the vatican says it's determined to put a stop to the four day meeting is vital in impressing on senior clarity who've come from around the world that it's their responsibility to do so but cardinals and bishops will hear video testimony from victims of sexual abuse no survivors of being given the chance to speak there in person so they were putting great

importance on their expected separate meeting with the pope but it didn't go as planned first of all pope francis wasn't there but made it very clear some of us that's not ok where as a victim see it as a sign of disrespect that the leader of the catholic church sent bishops instead this vatican summits on sexual abuse may be unprecedented in its size and its scope but survivors have still told us that they are skeptical that it's going to lead to any meaningful change and their experiences on wednesday have only reinforced that feeling for them the summit has got off to a bad start before it's even begun. al-jazeera the vatican weather is still ahead on al-jazeera from. the elements. but the tech giant says it forgot to tell customers.

hello there the weather is all coming down for many of us in the middle east at the moment we've had one very active system that's working its way eastwards at the moment it has given us a fair amount of snow and rain to some of us in afghanistan and that's gradually clearing as we head through into thursday so for kabul the temperatures should get to around five degrees so we will see a lot of that snow melting further west and it should be calm and settled for many places here i think we'll see a few will showers as we head through the day on friday but nothing too significant a bit further towards the south and here in doha it's going to stay cool as we head through thursday so a maximum temperature of twenty three degrees and you can see the winds firing down from the northwest so that's why it's feeling a little bit fresher than it might to as we head through into friday no major change for us but i think for some places in saudi arabia that wind will be coming

up from the south and that will drag in some milder air as we head down towards a southern parts of africa or plenty of showers in the northern part of our map stretching down towards madagascar madagascar expecting more in the way of heavy rains the southern part there is drying up there is should be an improvement and across the southern parts of southern africa there should be some dry weather to be found to devon twenty seven degrees will be our maximum temperature there on thursday and cape town at twenty five. with. every dude he's been it's been really measure to support those insurgencies all the time to do things in secret that are a little small or politically embarrassing all of the colleagues that are you knew chose to retire from. he could not stand by and see all the work that they had to

be used for mass surveillance digital dissidents on al-jazeera. hello again i'm just. a reminder of the news the salah fire has destroyed several buildings in an old possum the bangladeshi capital dhaka at least seventy people are dead but that number is expected to rise the buildings housed residential apartments as well as plastics and chemicals. western governments are ruling on whether i still fighters and their families can return home nineteen year old bag of a has been stripped of british that citizenship and donald trump has directed the state

government who are deeply concerned about this no deal becoming a real a real possibility and it will give them the coverage next week to do it but frankly some of them should on a long time. in their joint resignation letter the three former conservatives say that their final straw was the government's disastrous handling of it it was unconscionable they wrote that a conservative government was recklessly marching the country to the cliff edge of no deal and they lamented the failure of politics in general the resignations of the elephant in the room at the weekly session of prime minister's questions despite the eleven new independent tempi sitting very noticeably in new seats in the chamber by the theresa may not jeremy corbyn acknowledge that here mark hurd. this place as at war with itself the tories and the labor party are employed to scotland deserves better we. are hearing from the right but

if the british prime minister's way out was to travel from london to brussels to meet the european commission president. and his chief negotiator michel barnier they did not shake hands for the cameras and in fact the fancy dress unicom protesters outside looked more optimistic than the diplomats inside. no breakthrough was predicted and by the time the prime minister's convoy departed no compromise had been reached but there is a growing sense of time running out and some suggest that the emergence of the independent group will embolden other dissenters we don't know how it will impact how it all turns out. it does make it look but now there is a new independent group but they'll make more independent action from other m.p.'s moreover the less likely perhaps the most interesting aspect of the resignations of these eleven m. peace is not the individual grievances but the collective grievance that politics in the u.k. is broken and that the political landscape dominated by just two main parties is

ill equipped to deal with the polarizing nature of the brics it debates the real test will be how many more m.p.'s they can persuade to join them ahead of the meaningful vote or the next step for brics it next week. brennan al-jazeera westminster french president emmanuel macron has announced new measures to fight anti semitism after a series of high profile incidents mccrone was attending the annual dinner of the jewish organization saying anti semitism has reached its worst level since world war two in some parts of europe he says legislation to fight hate speech on the internet will be introduced in may it comes a day after thousands of people rallied in cities across france to denounce hostility towards jews donald trump says the u.s. could tax european car imports if it fails to broker a fair trade deal with the e.u. the american president gave the warning after musing austria's chancellor us about cuts at the white house the commerce department has been investigating whether

a live body but full of spirit roughly oh my organ exudes the kind of calm determination most people in his condition would find hard to muster. before being transported to this hospital in neighboring brazil the thirty year old venezuelan was at death's door and while he's still extremely weak he's also much improved. by the just sexy he had skin rashes pneumonia and all of his conditions would derive from his diabetes which was uncontrolled that's most probably because access to things like insulin is real and venezuela is insulin a medication for diabetes patients readily available in most countries the world over but rafael whose aunt watches over him now just as she had prayed over him when he was in a coma wasn't so lucky i've been afraid in venezuela we can't get anything life just isn't good we can't get medicine we can't get insulin and nothing else stayed

there he wouldn't be alive today. for the time being roughly zero is unable to speak but he is communicative his doctor who studied medicine in venezuela still finds it hard to believe things have gotten so bad in her patients homeland. when i was a student venezuela had to acknowledge that we couldn't find in brazil not just equipment but also medicine we now see that in only a few years the house system deteriorated to the point that they don't even have the most basic needs. in this relatively poor part of. the influx of so many even israel is in need of medical care has put further strain on the area's already stretched healthcare facilities walking through crowded corridors of her i'm a general hospital the director general shows me how they no longer have space for all the patients sadly rafael is one of many venezuelans at this hospital suffering from a medical condition that should have been easily treatable another stark reminder

of the near complete collapse of the health care system in venezuela. before coming to brazil thirty four year old ricci cordoba kept going to see the doctor about the pain in his abdomen he was assured many times it was nothing serious but months after arriving here in the city of boston he got the proper diagnosis appendicitis and an all sore and i mean that it in my job in a salon it's a shame venezuelans have to leave the country we will born because of the economic situation and because of the lack of medicines for the illness and go to other countries who receive us with a friendly embrace. some may call it an embrace others may call it treatment for many ailing venezuelans though it's a much needed road to recovery they simply cannot find at home mohammed atta. in what i am a state resume tech giant google it says its failure to inform uses of a hidden microphone inside its nest god home security device was

something that you place in your home you know and consumers who place things their home there's a greater amount of trust that you encroach upon the user themselves in a consumer themselves when it's a difference between using an application and using a web site versus putting something into your home that you trust so that's concerns a lot of users and i think in that way because of the fact that it feels like someone has invaded their home and there's something existed there that they didn't realize what was already there they claim that you know that the microphone was disabled and that you can enable it on your own but is just a matter of having that knowledge of what's in your home is most important and there's now a smart phone and then you can bend in hoff samsung has just unveiled its next generation of devices and treating the galaxy fold but will it be enough for the industry needed to overcome a shrinking market kristensen amy has more from new york. the next generation
