this was a rare success for muslim worshippers who'd faced down israeli police over access to a hole in the x. a compound the most a gate was sealed by the police sixteen years ago because a court had banned a hamas affiliated group that met here the group was long ago despondent says alexis custodians but the police have consistently refused to unlock the chains so the worshippers did that at the mercy gates is an integra part of a and we sacrifice everything we have including ourselves including our children to the mosque the trust to walk says locking the gate is another example of israel trying to assert itself inside the axa compound at the root of this dispute is who controls the holy sites beyond that gates now israel claims sovereignty over all of east jerusalem but includes here in the old city on the alex

a compound but in nineteen sixty seven jordan and israel agree that the jordanian money to islamic trust would look after affairs inside the compound while israel would manage security outside. groups of jewish ultranationalists escorted by police regularly visit the site and in increasing numbers to them this is the temple mount non muslims are allowed to visit but not pray the ultranationalists want that rule changed. and earlier this week the israeli agriculture minister paid one of his regular visits to the mercy gate. to. israeli radio he'd like a synagogue built here i was to see all this as provocative some never before every muslim has the right to intervene pray in the music for many years the occupations unjust measures have stopped us praying here thank god today we prayed and held the friday prisoner. untouched for sixteen years the mercy gate toll now needs

extensive renovation but will also need approval from the israeli police were inspected the site this week only they can grant permission for building materials to be allowed in bernard smith al-jazeera in occupied east jerusalem hallways chief financial officer will appear in court next week after canada allowed an extradition request to go ahead when one joe was arrested at bank who were airport in december at the request of the us government it is accusing hmong and the chinese take charge of conspiring to violate sanctions on iran case triggered a diplomatic route between canada and china says it will be watching the case closely to go to justice will prevail in the end zone now in fact not only the chinese and canadian citizens but the whole world is extremely interested to hear how the canadian government answers this question of britain's looming exit from the european union is a major concern for the u.k.

science community they say it's scaring off students and academics who'd normally come to study and teach them hey we're reports from the university city of cambridge which voted overwhelmingly to stay in the european union. this is a team effort to because it's it works well with two people mattie islam gratitudes originally from germany is teaching the next generation of the scientifically he's lived in the u.k. since nine hundred eighty nine and what to cambridge university for more than twenty years the prospect of bricks it has left him feeling depressed about what the future may hold but the scientific community and society as a whole important people have left other people who normally would have come to take up jobs here are not coming students are worried some students are worried about coming we get increasingly questions about what you know what does it mean for us. yeah you know this the greatness of british signs comes

from english as an international language and therefore inviting in people from all over the interface of different ways of thinking come together that's where your creative seventy three percent of people in cambridge voted to remain in the e.u. in twenty six states many people from all over the world live here it is affluent and has one of the fastest growing local economies in the u.k. this part of cambridge the highest percentage of remain voters in the u.k. that's in part down to the largest student population really poor many who so i think inside there. cambridge of course is steeped in history but it's developed a multi-billion dollar science and technology sector its springboard for designing life saving medical equipment they're sold globally but the company has a large customer base in europe keeping trade as open as possible in a post breaks it world is vital to the sector value of customers by contrast

because we're about what we do and we can solve problems really quickly and effectively if that becomes slightly. less good. more hassle. a lot of choices many here in this remain stronghold hope that breadth can still somehow be avoided with just a month to go though they know that time is running out and the heywood al-jazeera in cambridge. all right once again for those of you watching us on facebook why the united nations has unveiled human rights violations committed by israel during last year's garza protests that's from our friends at a.j. and then andy's here with the sport to tell us why three countries could boycott this year's rugby world cup. by a major dish every weekly news cycle brings

a series of breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump told through the eyes of the world's journalists that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase means at all joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most embarrassing is a free palestine they're listening post on al-jazeera. grow in a very short time to be a trusted news source wherever you are in the world he really want to know what's going on there and find out very quickly we're not looking at the news from some nations prism. we are probably international everybody will learn something watching our coverage. be shown that we can be the best international news and most trusted source of stories that people actually can't find elsewhere and that's going to continue.

you reason is good let's find out what people are talking about as for today here's andy thank you so much as for players from pacific island nations and sets a vote on whether or not subodh caught this year's rugby world cup in japan it's a reaction to an idea that somehow it's hunger in fiji could be excluded from a new global league the sport's governing body has suggested the formation of a twelve same league that would exclude nations from the pacific islands concerned about player welfare have also been raised with leading maims fearing an overload of incentives matches a world rugby says any plan is yet to be finalised but they're hoping to have a new international global elite in place by early as next year the initial

proposal involves twelve teams including the usa in japan but excluding the pacific islands countries would play each other once a year culminating in semifinals and a final in december fiji samoa and tonga have all qualified for this year's world cup and around a quarter of the players at the event will be off pacific islands heritage well rugby writer alan demick says the threat of a boycott will have a big impact. pacific rugby players were after group released a statement willie said that they had the support of internationally players and percent roic players and condemning that proposal world rugby the idea was that they said that this is exactly what's been happening for years and they destroyed this as the pacific rugby disaster two point two so there's talk of boycott this is something that would terrify. simply politicians within the game powa brokers within the game because the rugby world cup is the engine that keeps the global

game going with the money that it can reap some me only see the pacific nations compete world cups and the catch people unawares i mean a lot of people know fiji for example for their their exploits on the in the seventh circuit and how entertaining they are they are considered the greatest entertainers in the game people think of samoa for example world cup time as one of the biggest physical presences in the game there's no hiding away from the fact that if you play tests in the pacific islands you're not going to drop huge crowds it's going to be logistically difficult it's going to. be a hard sell timing wise in terms of. t.v. deals but by no means is any reason why you shouldn't try one of the biggest concerns they have with this potential shutout of the pacific nations is that the club versus country debate will not only get stronger you'll see a greater player drain from these these nations and the talented young players in

prison volume to potentially go into the club game at the elite club game and will never see them again on the international stage which then we can all agree with the nightmare of world rugby has been using seisure media to try and stem the flow of criticism this from the organizations c.e.o. fred gosper avalanche of media on world lead in the last twenty four hours many in accuracies world rugby has pushed for relegation and promotion which is a. not universally supported the two extra tickets it seems funded to answer the rugby championship will be selected on merits so no aciphex shuts outs many in new zealand asking the world champions to back the pacific nations if new zealand rugby voted for a twelve team global competition that doesn't include same from saumur fiji or hunger then they should hang their heads in shame they have a strong moral obligation to support rugby in the pacific or just pillage it and picking up on that theme of other countries naturalizing pacific island players is

former mon international dan leo imagine how sad it would be for rugby for the world going to become office if our windows against your pacific aren't as england's tongans and samoans against france's fijians because if a stand isn't made now that is what the game will become. well brendan rodgers decision to quit his job with scottish football champion celtic and psycho over as manager of leicester city in the english premier league has provoked a huge social media reaction very little of it positive base from a celtic perspective when rodgers arrived at celtic he declared himself a fan of the club and was insights of guarding them to a third straight league title but the season nearing its finale he took the decision to go south of the border for a club sitting eleventh in the premier league he takes charge of his first leicester game on sunday. obviously seen some of what's been said. but. this insulting supporters will hurt. you know i will understand how they feel.

their hurt their maybe a little bit worried. in terms of what what would maybe how often but with me leaving but also give me the confort to make the move results from knowing that what we put in place there in the nearly three use was going to stabilise the club moving forward well in celtic's first game post rogers the message from the fans was pretty clear as you can see here the banner says you traded immortality for mediocrity never a celts always a fraud this one of the polite and sweet saying that raj is from a celtic fan did brendan rodgers we always show our true colors in life or you showed yours you accepted the job and responsibility that came with it to celtic fans and even your own family you jumped ship at a crucial time for your own selfish ways disappointed disgusted your describe the parody account deluded brendan well that has more than three hundred and fifty thousand followers playing on rogers reputation for three so not being short on confidence here is why didn't quite say nice to be truly respected here at

leicester i didn't ask the teams about on one knee but it is much appreciated ok that is i suppose looking for now let's get back to us thanks andy now i want to tell you about. african cinema it's been celebrated at a top film festival in bikini a fast so more than one hundred sixty pictures being featured in this year's line up here's nicholas hard to tell us about it. the. comedy. and forbidden love. drama. and even animation. the world's biggest african film festival is celebrating fifty years of the continent's cinema. beyond the pomp and ceremony in brick enough asas capital an opportunity to discover and showcase some of the best storytellers on the continent. among them

a director. with her film their last set during the ivory coast civil war it's a story of a father in search of his wife and son the unlikely hero the film is is twelve year old daughter hyla who saves her father from despair and self-destruction. could be making history this year as her film is shortlisted for the prestigious prize of the jury never has a woman when the award show in the. minority there are only four women directors and. there have been many times when i've been the only woman and so we need to fight so that our peers finally recognize the roles we have and send it just like the character illustrated and i thought. well there is the increased threat of attacks from rebel groups in the south we're trying to overthrow the government targeting public gatherings people came out in numbers to watch the one hundred sixty movies being played out across all nine cinemas in ouagadougou to give

a kind of cinema continues to be a weapon for freedom it's our way to defend what's most precious to us and express our changing identity. a love story between two women was temporarily banned in kenya but it was saved a warm welcome from critics at the festival and is also a favorite to win a prize. africans. is a growing market estimated to be worth two billion dollars a year and yet filmmakers struggle to find funding and fortunately when private institutions that come from that stay here after america finance our cinema we are not able to voice what we need to was we're not able to have the political activism and social activism that we leave to say in our train. and now we need african cinema like any other cinema it's funny gritty and offers a fresh social commentary on society well for some of these movies are

a moment of escaping discovery for others they're an expression of raw unfiltered emotions depicting people too often ignored. nicholas hawk al-jazeera and that's it for the news good remember these are all the ways you can get in touch with us right here we'll see you back here fifteen hundred g.m.t. on sunday.
