to do more to help. an egyptian brokered cease fire appears to be holding between israel and hamas to asterix on gaza where rockets have also been fired israel's binyamin netanyahu has left washington d.c. and is now on his way back home following the military escalation well there were several explosions after the cease fire was due to come into force six hours ago but the situation is reported to be calm since earlier the two sides exchanged fire across the gaza israel border with multiple israeli airstrikes at least ten rockets launched from the strip into southern israel israeli jets hit hamas targets including the offices of the group's leader ismail haniya the also mobilized ground forces near the gaza border where the fighting on monday began when seven israelis were wounded by a rocket which landed on a house in a suburban area near tel aviv. israel will not tolerate this i will not

tolerate this and as we speak as i told you mr president just now israel is responding forcefully to this wanton aggression i have a simple message to israel's enemies we will do whatever we must do to defend our people and defend our state for a force that has this update from the israel gaza border. well despite reports of a ceasefire despite announcements of a ceasefire coming from senior hamas officials one of whom said that on tuesday the ministries and schools would be open again inside gaza there has been continued strikes coming from the israeli side and indeed rockets being fired out of gaza territory as well we heard some intercepted near our position here near the northern area of the gaza border in israeli territory and we can still hear strikes

going on in the background as well that is the message we're getting from our colleagues inside gaza that after this ten pm local time cease fire arrangements that have been declared by hamas there were still israeli strikes continuing and as i say we have seen rockets still coming out of gaza as well all of this following what happened earlier on tuesday a rocket fired out of gaza territory hitting an israeli family home northeast of tel aviv seven members of that family injured in that strike benjamin netanyahu promising forceful act reaction to that he is in the middle of a very hard fought election campaign in which he has been criticized by his main challenger the former israeli army chief benny gantz for his gaza policy for not bringing results in terms of containing hamas and so we were expecting a forceful and indeed major israeli military operation multi-story buildings housing what the israeli military says were the hamas internal security and an

insurance building which it said was a secret base for the military intelligence among other services as well as is mahoney the political leader of hamas his office building three major targets already destroyed inside gaza the army was promising that there was more to come. well al jazeera arabic correspondent reports from the scene of one of the israeli airstrikes in gaza and the thought. that this is the result of one of the israeli air strikes that hits a residential building here in central gaza the first floor of the building hosted the headquarters of insurance company the top floors were residential apartments which had been fully destroyed but residents had hardly any time to escape the strike fleeing the building only minutes before it was destroyed by israeli jets the house was hit first by a number of drone missiles then israeli jets fully destroyed it civil defense and

ambulances have arrived in this area is full of residential buildings hitting such buildings in central gaza is a sign of an escalation well the launch of the airstrikes came as the u.s. officially recognized israel's claim to sovereignty over the occupied golan heights in contravention of international law and united nations resolution diplomatic editor james bays reports. the u.n. secretary general here in new york is watching the situation in gaza with great concern. he's long warned of the dangers of a new conflict a new conflict now on the way the secretary general is gravely concerned by the latest developments regarding gaza today's firing of a rocket from gaza towards israel is a serious and unacceptable violation we're also wear of the latest reports of firing on gaza in a monitoring events we urge all sides to exercise maximum restraint this very

moment the secretary general spokesman was briefing reporters president trump was signing his declaration recognizing israel's sovereignty over the go land a direct challenge to the international consensus on the issue for the secretary general it is clear that the status of golan is not change the u.s. policy on the golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the security council you may notice a reticence to criticize president trump even though there's little doubt his proclamation is in breach of international law this will be a difficult issue too for the u.s. is close allies on the u.n. security council which meets to discuss israel palestine on choose day since the start of the trumpet ministration the council has allowed the u.s. to lead diplomacy on this file but there is growing unease among diplomats on gaza don't expect any action other than council members adding their voices to the calls for a straight on go land don't expect any action

a tall other council members of very unhappy about president trump's decision but even if they wanted to come up with a statement condemning it the u.s. would block it james pays out his era of the united nations. well trump's proclamation has received international condemnation with syria calling it a blatant attack on its sovereignty and territorial integrity it says it has a right to reclaim the territory russia's also warned that the move would further deteriorate the situation in the region turkey says the decision by the us is unacceptable and it will take action against the decision and the arab league has described transaction as illegitimate israel occupies nearly two thirds of the wider golan heights as a result of the nine hundred sixty seven conflict it's the annual gathering of the pro israel group known as a pact continues in washington u.s. vice president mike pence addressed the conference and expressed support for strong ties with israel mike hanna reports. tumultuous applause for u.s.

vice president mike pence the trumpet ministration is wildly popular in israel and this reflected in what is nominally a bipartisan lobbying organization pen seizing the opportunity to hammer democratic party members who stayed away from the gathering in pointed protest against the methods of the pro israeli lobby eight democratic candidates for president are actually boycotting this very conference so let me be clear on this point. anyone who aspires to the highest office in the land should not be afraid to stand with the strongest supporters of israel in america restrained applause for the democratic party leaders that did turn up including both the senate minority leader and speaker of the house. the major event of the day though took place down the road where prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrived for a meeting with the u.s. president. to mark the occasion by signing

a presidential decree recognizing israel's claim to suffering teeth over the occupied golan heights. committed by the israeli prime minister's breathless gratitude mr president over the use. israel has been blessed to have many friends who sat in the oval office but israel has never had a better friend than you israeli opposition leader benny gantz says grateful as the prime minister put the u.s. move but at the same time warning against israel taking sides in the u.s. political process we want all of america republicans and democrats all of america's republican and democrats. to move forward with us in this period of true by brute as and it did not save the south did served us so well in the past all delegates here are keenly aware of the

elections taking place in israel next month many will be voting in that one but a significant number two will also have a say in the u.s. electoral process in twenty twenty and president trumps the city was pro israel policy perhaps a recognition of this lebanese influence in that process or does mike hanna al-jazeera washington. british m.p.'s have voted to take control of the brags that agenda away from the government it's another crushing blow to prime minister to resign may be forced to hand over control to parliament on wednesday and m.p.'s will then try and work out a way forward a block of reports. defining the bricks in battle ground and piece of dealt another blow to the british prime minister by voting in favor of changes to to reserve may's next breaks it steps many of those m.p.'s before may's own party three junior ministers have resigned after voting against the government i still

every day at five am to supervise the operation and try and restore hope we also are trying to tell the people there's no food. but we need to work we need to work off hours so we need to rebuild our selves people are living in schools and on street corners it's a miserable existence even for families familiar with hardship before the psych loan struck this region had an unemployment rate of seventy percent with forty percent of those making living on the streets the majority of big companies that employ most a beer is full time work force have been devastated by it i many have gone bust and getting the economy back up and running is now one of the top priorities it's been a climatic battleground here but also a political one vera has been hard core opposition and has voted five times against the ruling for lemo government in parliamentary and presidential elections and some people here believe they're paying

a price for that opposition critics accuse government leaders in the capital much of previously failing to invest in infrastructure including schools and hospitals and of not doing enough to help victims of the disaster there so question i asked grogs. god why are you bricking psycho. i want to get. only god can tell me that. i'm safe to say that only the central government can tell us what i do a lot giving us government supporters maintaining all it can with limited funds and that. funding is allocated regardless of which party is governing and all provinces what is important is the direction of the country and not the party. but politics is a game that few of mozambique's poor and destitute play their lives are always been a struggle from birth to has been unemployed for twenty five years he lived in a shack and survived a lot of jobs the cycle only left him with nothing. and did at least i had

its laws in the wake of the mosque shootings gumbel's in australia where the alleged attack a came from a much tougher but officials from america's powerful gun lobby the n.r.a. have been filled by al-jazeera as investigative unit advising on a strain on political parties on how to deal with public opinion in the wake of a mass shooting peter charlie reports. on a visit to washington last attempt a team from pauline hanson's one nation party sold help from the n.r.a. in order to change his trail years strict gun control laws in the country where you live on this it's pretty obvious. in a series of meetings one nation was given advice on how best to prepare a stranger for a change to its laws i think beneficial they are and they take steps in the right direction to start providing protection to people and again that.

i would get from a look at australia astray or severely restricted the sale of semiautomatic an automatic guns following a massacre in the tasmanian town of port arthur in one thousand nine hundred six. thirty five people were murdered by a gunman using an fifteen assault rifle six hundred fifty thousand weapons would confiscated and destroyed you probably don't really have to call to wipe out a national gun ban overnight but if you can work around the market where there goes eight improve the lives going on a daily basis it does demonstrate that we begin tonight in the kids walk you can start making a difference in a break down the narrative so that people on this reaction to going to use it make it. astray strict gun control laws are problematic for the n.r.a. is officials have said they fear success could be used to limit gun ownership in america it's the left wing anti gun owners who literally point to australia as this

shining model as to why we need gun bans and gun confiscation in the run up to the port arthur massacre the struggle was tracking on the label and right now shootings as the americans since not having any six their brain zero mass shootings of people would not be silent in stride no. one nation was coached on how to react if soft a gun was a believe to another measure in a strenuous n.r.a. officials suggested to one nation that they smear advocates of gun control for exploiting the massacre there used to raise children or. if your policy isn't good enough to stand. there. for. the really good that's a great way to get on the n.r.a. playbook also included planting articles there's a lot of times we'll write down for like

a local sheriff in wisconsin or whatever and we'll draft dinner see what's up distract it we'll do a lot of the legwork because these people are busy and this is our job so we'll help them and then they'll submit it with their name on it so that it looks organic you know that it's coming from that community we will have we're all behind this charlie al-jazeera sydney. well australia's prime minister says he's very concerned over the al jazeera investigation showing the links between the us gun lobby group and a political party under thomas reports from sydney. early on tuesday australia's prime minister scott morrison sent a tweet saying that reports that senior one nation officials courted a foreign political donations from the us gun lobby to influence our elections and undermine our gun laws are deeply concerning and that really gets to the heart of the two crucial aspects of this story first that one nation a political party was trying to get money from a foreign organization in this case the national rifle association in order to

swing elections here now this secret footage was recorded at the end of last year but since the beginning of this year foreign donations to political parties have been illegal in australia and even then they were highly controversial ironically with one nation foremost among those calling for a change and for foreign donations for political parties to become illegal so not a good look there and then there is the aspect of getting that money to try and weaken australia strict gun laws the gun laws were tightened here in australia in the wake of a massacre back in one thousand nine hundred six and there's a lot of concern among australians that those gun laws could be weakened in months and years to come but securely of course in the wake of what happened what twelve days ago in new zealand with the massacre in christ church one nation for their part they're trying to turn the tables they put out a statement early on tuesday as well accusing al jazeera of being a foreign agent a state owned propaganda arm of the qatari government they say not a legitimate media organization they have also accused the undercover reporter of himself being a foreign agent and they say they refer this whole matter to the australian federal

police questioning whether it amounts to foreign interference into australian politics that's not yet having much traction though at the moment all the pressure here is on one nation themselves well how does iraq contacted all those who featured in the report but no one responded and you can watch the full programme to mount a serious investigative unit how to sell a massacre on al-jazeera on tuesday a twelve hundred g.m.t. . u.s. democrats in the house of representatives have given the justice department a deadline of second april's wonder with a full report of special counsel robert muller his inquiry found there was no collusion between the trump election campaign and russian officials but only a summary has been made public particle he reports from washington d.c. . u.s. president trump feeling vindicated and victimized it was a terrible thing. we can never let this happen to another president again i can tell you that i said very strongly. very few people i know could have handled it.

we can never ever let this happen to another president again with that he's calling for an investigation into how the investigation of him began and one of his top allies in the senate ready is complying what makes no sense to me is all the abuse by the department of justice in the f.b.i. the unprofessional conduct the shady behavior nobody seems to think this much important. well that's going to change i hope this summary of miller's report says the special counsel didn't decide if the president obstructed justice saying he didn't conclude the president committed a crime it also does not exonerate him democrats want to know what that means they want to see the evidence for themselves we have a four page summary written by somebody else not by rubber roller and that somebody else is not a disinterested party he's a political appointee. donald j. trump they will call the attorney general and the special counsel to testify before

congress and they will push to get the report made public this investigation means trump will avoid a criminal court in this case but democrats are hoping that he can still lose in the court of public opinion. al-jazeera washington. time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera an egyptian brokered ceasefire appears to be holding between israel and hamas off across the border fighting on monday as strikes were carried out by israel across the gaza strip and hamas moans at least ten rockets into southern israel but only on monday netanyahu met with the u.s. president donald trump signed a presidential proclamation saying the u.s. recognizes israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. the united states recognizes
