opposition and government structure a lot of the what the protesters are saying is it doesn't matter who's in power what is the opposition whether it's the government they are actually all working together so there needs to be a real change now the other thing that's quite interesting is some of the slogans that are being bandied about by the protesters one of the key ones i've noticed is something that goes we don't want to call for we want article two thousand and nineteen saying that this is the year for change within our jury and so the protesters feel that they have momentum on their side that they have the numbers on their side now however the army very concerned about political instability within the country itself so they are taking a carrot and stick approach almost saying ok fine we'll get the constitutional council to look at article one four but that's the protesters say isn't enough so there is now an impasse going on and the longer that impulse goes on the more powerful it's likely to be that the protest movement will become.

protests happening right now in gaza several palestinians have been injured at the gaza israel friends harry faucet has an update. there are efforts underway to try and minimize the scale of the outcome of these protests while still marking this year of protests with a significant number of people it's a fine balancing act that they're trying to achieve here and occasionally people are running to the fence millions of algerians have taken part in the largest nationwide anti-government protests so far and they're calling for the resignation of president of the laws he's beautifully and an overhaul of the entire political system britain remains deadlocked over the future of brecht said after politicians voted against the prime minister's deal for a third time to resume a has just under two weeks to come up with a new plan or the u.k. faces crushing out of the e.u. without a deal venezuela has been hit by another electricity blackout the third this week the power outage on friday night left the capital caracas in the dark as well as

several other major cities u.s. president donald trump has threatened to close the country's southern border next week unless mexico stops people from crossing over illegally trump warned it could affect all trade between the two nations mexico's president has reacted to trump's threat but was reluctant to get into a war forwards. absolutely i'm not going to start an argument over this i'm going to be very cautious due to a series of circumstances a long time because we want to lead a very good relationship with the government of the united states and the u.s. president reported to have demanded north korea hand over its nuclear weapons at the summit last month that's according to a report from the reuters news agency to have presented with a document calling for the transfer of pyongyang's nuclear weapons fuel to the u.s.

you're up to date with all the latest headlines on al-jazeera we'll have more news for you coming up right after inside story stay with us. a year of weekly protests more than two hundred fifty people killed and twenty nine thousand injured the people of gaza have been demonstrating near the israeli border demanding their rights but have they achieved their goal this is inside story.

and welcome to the program pollan march thirtieth marks a year since mass demonstrations began at the fence that separates gaza from israel and since then on friday afternoon prayers have been followed by demonstrations by hundreds of palestinians they are demanding their right to return to their homes and the land their families were expelled from seventy years ago israeli soldiers have responded by firing live ammunition and gaza's health ministry says that now killed more than two hundred fifty people and injured thousands of those hurt the united nations says more than one hundred twenty people have had one or both legs amputated and un investigators say israel has committed war crimes all this at a time of heightened tensions in the region so what is the way forward well there is plenty to discuss with our guest but first harry fawcett sets us up with this report's a toilet for human has been involved in the protests since the beginning his right

leg had to be amputated after you was shot by an israeli sniper last be free as soon as he was able he started going back again every week but this weekend's first anniversary he says is different. i'm not going anywhere why should i go on saturday there are going to be a lot of people killed tensions have risen again this week after a rocket fired from gaza hit a family home north of tel aviv injuring seven israeli airstrikes the follow destroyed the offices of hamas as political leader among dozens of targets israel has built up ground forces on the gaza border threatening further military action this is all israeli should know that if a comprehensive campaign is required we were entered strongly and after we have exhausted all of the other options those options centered on the gyptian mediation towards a deal understood to involve calm on the border and an end to rocket fire in exchange for an easing of israeli economic restrictions in the expansion of the un job

program seeds over the tension and conflict in the still are still existed in gaza strip unless the bigger problem for gaza which is a political in that there could be in the way the seed that there will be a more rounds of confrontation the great march return protests began on the thirtieth of march last year after a call to action against the israeli siege by civil society groups in gaza since then gaza's health ministry says israeli snipers have shot and injured more than six and a half thousand protesters killing more than two hundred fifty people children journalists and medical workers among them a un investigation found that while some protesters used violence the vast majority were unarmed and peaceful with stated that israel had no justification for using live bullets and they were reasonable grounds to believe it had committed serious violations of human rights for twelve months now the protests in these border areas have been an expression of the sheer desperation felt so widely in gaza but increasingly in evidence has also been how masses ability to dial them up and dial

them down now with the israeli army staging a major show of force on the other side of this fence gaza's ruling faction has to decide how to calibrate this weekend's events in order to get what they most want major concessions out of israel and hamas is under pressure. to get results earlier this month protesters went to the streets instead of the border over price rises and tax hikes from a security put the demonstrations down with beatings and arrests but the core of those protests the same feelings of despair and frustration that for a year now and despite all the risks that brought thousands to the border week after week harry fawcett out zero for inside story gaza. we can now bring in our guests from gaza city are abu sada professor of political science at al azhar university in gaza and from west jerusalem we have mitchell barak c.e.o. of kievan global research and he was the advisory to the former israeli president

shimon peres and speechwriter for the ex prime minister ariel sharon and from haifa israel by skype he jazzy is the deputy regional director covering the middle east and north africa region for amnesty international thank you all very much for joining us now i'm going to get straight to it and let's start in gaza in gaza with more. firstly as we're it's talking about these anniversary as the anniversary of the protests is coming up what's your expectation for it do you expect that there will be a large turnout will see the kind of momentum that has been building up. well let me start by saying that the palestinian factions mainly hamas and islamic jihad and other palestinian factions have been preparing for this first anniversary of the gaza are big mush of return and breaking the siege for many days now and it is expected to be a big ten now tomorrow another question with oh there would be violence or there

would be defend injuries tomorrow or not it would be seen but my it my understanding is that the egyptian security delegation who have been shuttling between tel aviv and gaza for the past forty eight hours are trying to defuse any further violence between gaza and israel along the border tomorrow but my estimation is that there will be tens of thousands of palestinians committing the first anniversary of the get most of it in and also it's court sided with monday out in palestine. but i believe that there are at the house on the security services which belong to hamas they will try to destroy a in palestinian protesters from approaching the separation fence between gaza and israel and try to minimize the number of casualties on the palestinian side but it also depends on the behavior this way the snipers and its way to soldiers who over

the past year have killed more than two hundred and sixty palestinians and injured thousands of palestinians over the past year now to back i've seen you not to ever there i am what is your expectation and what is the expectation from the israeli side as we come up to this big day. well i'm sure it'll be a successful turnout because as he says a hamas and islamic jihad two terror organizations bent on the destruction of israel have arrested hundreds of buses and there are thirty eight different locations throughout the gaza strip and they're going to be bussing people to five different locations on the border so i'm sure it's going to be a very big turnout but my question is are you going to let kids on the bus is this going to be where you put kids in the front line like you did all last year and all last summer we're going to push them up to the front lines and tell them to go rush the fence i think you have to have some responsibility here and understand that rushing a fence and trying to break through a border or releasing flaming kites or putting kids in the frontline or launching

missiles even by accident which you say you do is not going to go on the israeli side israel will be there with massive force to protect its border and to make sure that nobody comes through and that cuts aren't launched and that's been the problem in the last year is that israel has had to respond to all these new kinds of threats over the border and that's where it stands on the israeli side israel is not looking for alter cation is not looking for a fight is not looking to use force especially now right before the election so let's see how the other side behaves but if you're bussing people in then you've got to control those people again brought up so many points we need to talk about that but first let's go over to high five and one let's let's stay with us line of responsibility misty's been documented in the past year of protest tell us about the findings off your latest report which i believe you are an author to and the

main message that comes out if it. says you said we've been monitoring and documenting the punish and the potential to put this you know exactly. this will say it's been done by whom going to be musicians c.n.n. has really and we've also been. u.n. commission of inquiry report published in a couple of weeks ago in the human rights council what we found is that israeli forces have been using a lot of. lethal force excessive force against and see them straight on the fence this which has led to a lawful killings many of which amount to work rights there's also we've. documented the pattern of the use of force that has lead to severe injury life changing injury of protesters and that's what's as pointed to what seems like

a policy meaning and causing the severe injuries to the protesters targeting has also included medics journalists and children according to the u.n. offices for the commission of human ten affairs in the uk quite honestly the territories or chop one hundred ninety five cities have been killed in the context of protests. in know this one year span including forty one children and there's been more than twenty nine thousand injuries according to the commission of inquiry to put. it over underneath achille's. as well as injuries and in the report they expose one hundred twenty two injuries. and it was life changing injuries where people have lost their lives these include twenty one children so this is a very dangerous part and we are extremely worried that was going to happen tomorrow israel has an obligation to refrain from using excessive force and this is

. it in terms of law it's a policing of them stretches it's not it's not active hostilities and therefore israel should as also the occupying out have the safety of the people to stop because. we'll go through some of those points you talked about in detail but first let me go back to my first one of the themes of this program is what has been achieved by these protests and to put it bluntly as we're hearing those numbers aside from more injuries aggression from israel dats what have these protests actually achieved for the palestinian people but a please if you could allow me just just to respond to what was mentioned by mitchell about art from jerusalem before i also do a question it seems to me that mr about arc is ignoring the fact that israel is occupying palestinian land for more than half a century now and also is what is besieging the gazans to enforcing looked at

punishment on two million palestinians in gaza women live conditions have deteriorated to other to no love in a little also our lives you have just missed of iraq that is his way to snipers and his way to soldiers who have killed hundreds of palestinians and just thousands of palestinians not all of them approach the fence some of those yes some of those who were killed and injured were approaching and will try to infiltrate the fence but as it draws documented by amnesty international there were many palestinian civilians a journalist a part a mother and civilians children who were at shot and killed and there were very far away from these to footage and things between gaza and israel and the way to go and i have to question what has been achieved over the past year yes the palestinians have picked up that is the prize in terms of the sacrifices that they have faded but i believe that the mother get most of it to.
