israel strikes into gaza and then prime minister benjamin netanyahu makes an early return from the u.s. as an election looms. shall carry this is our life until the coming out. condemnation against president obama trumps a decision to recognize israel's claim to sovereignty over the occupied golan heights. how are you so i may be no use having nothing to break a deadlock on brecht said british m.p.'s wrestle control of the debate from prime minister theresa may. have been as well it goes dark again i'll tell you the government says behind the country's second power outage this month.

israel's prime minister is expected back home in the next few hours after cutting short his visit to the us boarded a plane after the israeli army launch strikes into gaza hitting several hamas targets interception brokered cease fire is now in place between hamas and israel we will go live to the israeli gaza border in a moment first for borg family reports. explosions throughout the night in gaza as israel launched airstrikes. the neighbors told us that israeli intelligence had told them to recreate the building we fled and later it was hoped that it was it was those in the first rockets which was a warning was fired then the second and third were fired to the north and east of the building five minutes later the whole building was hit and we didn't know where to go israel says it was targeting hamas internal security and intelligence base in

gaza. this included a multi-story building housing offices used by hamas leader ismail haniyeh. the asterix followed the firing of a rocket the land north of tel aviv hitting his right a family home and injuring seven people. that attack prompted prime minister benjamin netanyahu to cut short his visit to washington and return to israel he promised a forceful reaction 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 the israeli army also deployed more troops to the gaza border it reported more rockets being fired from gaza into israel many were intercepted the rest fell in rural areas netanyahu is in the midst of an election campaign where he's been criticised by the main rival army chief benny gantz for

not being able to contain the situation in gaza there are no good options at this point in time for prime minister nasser now i think he's ignored this for a long time he played lots of games with a gyptian zone the palestinians over the last several months and he couldn't reach a long term ceasefire as it was expected with egyptian assistance israel has also close to vital border crossings into the gaza strip a lifeline the provides food a medical supplies to the coastal enclave. in mali al jazeera. joins us from the border fence between israel and gaza so how is this ceasefire going is it holding hearing. well there are contradictory indications really richelle the the ceasefire was announced not by israel as is as is usual in these cases it was announced by officials shortly before ten o'clock last night and in the

hours before that there was quite a lot of rocket fire coming out of gaza much of it being intercepted by the anti missile system the iron dome we saw quite a lot of that from this location here on the fringes of northern gaza and then the israeli airstrikes continued for some time after that as well there seemed to be another flurry a little bit before three am this morning another according to the israeli military another about thirty rockets coming out of there were further israeli airstrikes after that so this is by no means a cut and dried cease fire indeed hamas is talking this morning about refresh efforts thanks to egyptian mediation towards renewing the cease fire so it's a pretty precarious situation still there is a lot of israeli armor that has been mobilized we saw a big group of tanks in the fields to the north of gaza or on our way here this morning and so the situation remains pretty finely balanced schools across the

area here in southern israel are shut down for the day as are universities people are being told only do non-essential jobs if you are close to a bomb shelter and inside gaza the those announcement last night that ministries would you open that schools would reopen officially that may be the case but our colleagues inside gaza are telling us that very few if any people are sending their children to school so harry what are you hearing about reinforcements on the border . the israeli military has mobilized two extra brigades they were we understand coming here in any case to relieve the the contingents that were here before then but so there is an expansion there as well as preparations being made to call up reservists if required a lot now rests on the figure of benjamin netanyahu is on his way back from

washington to israel as we speak he's due back around noon today and he's almost certain to go straight into a security cabinet meeting and much will rest on the decisions made in that meeting he is under pretty severe political pressure right now he's in the midst of an election campaign during which he's being challenged by a former israeli army chief on many fronts but not least the gaza front saying that he has failed in his policy to contain hamas and that a stronger response is required his education minister who's running as the head of a rival right wing party has called it embarrassing if indeed a cease fire has been reached so soon after that that rocket attack and without the kind of of widespread strike that he says it was appeared to be being trailed so benjamin netanyahu has some key decisions to make when he gets back and a lot will rest on exactly how he plays out those decisions in the coming hours all

right her thoughts that live press on this road border thank you launch of the airstrikes came as united states officially recognize israel's claim to sovereignty over the occupied golan heights that is in violation of international law and united nations resolution israel see such as strategically important area in one nine hundred sixty seven a diplomatic editor james 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 underway 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 were also where 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 golan 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 restraint on golan don't expect any action

a tool 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 syria describe trance decision as a blatant attack on its sovereignty and territorial integrity to mask it says it has a right to reclaim the territory russia warned the move could further deteriorate the situation in the region turkey called the decision unacceptable and plans to take action against the move and saudi arabia said it's a violation of international law. unprecedented move m.p.'s in britain have voted to take control of the bracks agenda from the government politicians say they want to make the process make progress rather after the government was defeated three hundred twenty nine votes to three hundred two on amendments to its rocks at agreement on wednesday politicians will begin the process of deciding on a series of alternatives to prime minister teresa mayes deal which has been

rejected twice today bob has latest from outside the u.k. parliament in london so what will happen in parliament this week nadeem. well rachele it's still not exists entirely clear exactly what we're going to see but this is new ground because what happens on monday night was unprecedented basically the house of commons taking control from the government in terms of the agenda in the house of commons his own wednesday we're going to see a series of what they call indicative votes on various proposals for ways in which we can get out of this i'm passed some of them would mean bracks it for example britain leaving the e.u. while a member of a customs union with the e.u. or perhaps staying in a single the single market other ideas include a no deal breaks it

a second referendum on holding the process all together revoking article fifty that's something that has been called on by more than five million people in a petition in the last few days theresa may says it sets a dangerous precedent but the rebels within her own conservative party thirty of them who voted against it to get these indicative votes say that it really needs to be done and listen to this by one of one of them if the government refuses to listen to what parliament has voted for we will bring forward a bill that requires it's to reflect parliament's wishes that's because theresa may has hinted that she might not actually take into consideration might not act on anything that comes out from those votes we don't know if those votes will produce one clear option but there is a lot of strength of feeling that something has to be done because basically nobody has any faith that teresa mayes deal as it stands would stand

a chance of getting through if she brought it back to the house which we know we know for now she's not going to somewhere to sustain the prospects for a six. well it's hard to say but that's what's in many people's minds and that's what's driving this push to try to take back control to try to see if there is consensus for anything else because unless there is agreement on a plan b. apart from to resume may's deal then the the the default position is now with an extended deadline from the e.u. that on april the twelfth the u.k. would leave the e.u. with no deal that's the deadline they've given the government to come back and say what they plan to do now so far to resume is just said a woman no deal bret's it can't happen without the approval of parliament but in fact it will happen unless there is a firm plan many people are so worried about that that they're talking now about

a people's vote jeremy corbin the opposition leader said whatever vote is agreed on him might be might have to go back to the public for approval in a referendum so things are shifting but everyone's aware of the hard deadline what some people call a cliff age right now a lot of us in london thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera. we. need to work well for what we need to rebuild all us so clean up after cycling to die would be survivors in one town in mozambique until the government has forgotten about. more laws for families as they face the long term impact of mass shootings a year after park.

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 cyc 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 are paying a price for that opposition critics accuse government leaders in the capital murder 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 breaking cycle and here i want to get. only god can tell me that. i'm saying the same that all of the central government can't and that's what i do a lot giving us. government supporters maintaining stewing all it can with limited funds and that. funding is allocated regardless of which party is governing 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 humbert who 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 a home before the cycle of my life was a little normal even though i didn't have much but now i have lost everything it's

not just me sleeping here the streets are full of families with children. plenty of beer is new street dwellers don't know what even care this is an election year in mozambique for them life is about if and when they will next eat not when they'll vote. we did i don't care about politics we just need help there's nothing to eat and we don't have medication we don't even have pots and plates. the misery for many of mozambique cycling victims won't end until help arrives tony berkeley al-jazeera beera the lights have gone out and much of venezuela for the second time this month because of widespread electricity blackouts it's not clear what caused the latest cuts information minister says the main hydroelectric dam was attacked. in the story from neighboring colombia. the capital caracas and at least half of them in this well and states suffered another major blackout on monday this was

started around one thirty pm it continued through the afternoon and at the beginning of the evening just served as people were trying to go back home metro system was down in caracas in another number of cities many stores closed fearing the looting and the kind of chaos that we've seen two weeks ago in venezuela when the country was paralyzed by the longest blackout in its history and just like two weeks ago the government of president nicolas maduro blamed the opposition and their allies starting with the united states as being behind an attack on. the largest and most important hydroelectric plant in the country this serves most of the swelling in the meantime also the political international confrontation surrounding the government of nicolas maduro continued

to military to russian military airplane landed in caracas over the weekend with the troops the u.s. is now calling that a reckless escalation of the situation in venezuela promising some type of retaliation so as we can see both inside and internationally the confrontation continues for the future of the country australia's prime minister says he is very concerned about alpha serious investigation that reveal links between the us gun lobby and an australian political party officials from the n.r.a. were filmed by al-jazeera investigative unit advising australia's one nation party how to deal with public opinion in the wake of the mass shooting here charlie reports. on a visit to go to. a team from pauline hanson's one nation party. in order to truly. just rail use strict gun control laws in the country where you

live on this let's put it. 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 you are and take steps in the right direction to start providing protection to people and again that helps us. with. a look at australia astray severely restricted the sale of semiautomatic and automatic guns following a message 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 go to wipe out a national gun ban overnight but if you can work around the market with eight improve the lives of going on a daily basis it does demonstrate that with big you know did not get smoke you can

start making a difference in a break down the narrative so that people's reaction to going to isn't make it. astray strict gun control laws are problematic for the n.r.a. is officials have said they fear that success could be used to limit gun ownership in america it's the left wing anti gun owners who literally point to wash trail you as this shining model as to why we need gun bans and gun confiscation in the run up to the port arthur massacre destroyed or was tracking a liberal and right now shootings as the americans since not having any six their brain zero mass shootings people would not be silent in stride if. one nation was coached on how to react if soft a gun was a village to another measure shooting in a strenuous and iraqi 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 you there. for. the really good that's a great way to go 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 and it's coming from that community we will have we're all behind this charlie al-jazeera sydney and her thomas has more on the prime minister's reaction. early on tuesday australia's prime minister scott morrison sent a tweet saying that reports that senior one nation officials call to forward 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 the 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 was 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 to killing 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 state 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 you can watch the full program from out a serious investigative unit how to sell a massacre on al-jazeera tuesday at twelve g.m.t. . as family and friends of mass shooting victims attempt to piece their lives together some are confronted by new tragedies to survivors of the parklane shooting in florida who died an apparent suicide within the span of a week anything years are urging parents to speak to their children about the trauma that still haunts many of the students reports and we are the parents of
