grow for a good one does a story is profound hope for our low community is beyond repair. and the dignity of the people is never fully extinguished. well andrew symonds joins us now live from galleon andras commemoration events so very much underway and likely to continue for some time morkie talents. quite a lot of the situation now is that the speech is the main speeches of be made by those on the rostrum in the convention center you heard from the one president there and now there's going to be a war corgan as a war of remembrance from the rwandan parliament to this position the national stadium which is likely to be filled with people in about three to four hours' time

there will be a series of community events here this will be really the gathering for the people of the real sharing of an atmosphere here that will be followed by a nighttime vigil a candlelight here and people will pray and remember think try to think forward just adding to his words there were earlier references from. the president of the european commission he spoke of the horrors that europe faced in the twentieth century an obvious reference to world war two and the holocaust and he went on to say that this event in africa was there could be no comfort nothing can heal the wounds he said of the victims he said the people of rwanda are courageous we will never forget them what we heard both from the belgian prime minister should this shows michel that.

i made a reference to the failure of the international community to stop the genocide a reference there to belgium no reference in words to france but france also implicated it would seem the united nations and not actually responding to the. in fact the united nations did actually pull out troops. troops killed but there was no no recognition of a preplanned preconceived act on the part. to kill and kill. on a mass scale he actually apologized for the he described it. to react to events so they're really quite a graphic admission of failure effectively which was of course the former colonial power that. became independent in one nine hundred sixty two now the preparations

are going on here there is a theme to this whole. event the commemoration of twenty five years that's aimed at the aimed at the next generation has said every day we learn to forgive and not forget and he highlighted highlighted that sixty percent of the population was born after the genocide so we have opposed genocide generation looking forward the key to it all the. way to go is reintegrating the killers and the victims and the new generation that is a massive process two million people have been before the. series of justice that's now over. the whole host of programs for forgiveness for

those who have served jail sentences to ask for forgiveness from their victims face to face there are communities where killers and victims live together effectively in the same communities it is an ambitious plan to do that but this is part of a whole series of initiatives. aimed healings trying to heal trying to soften the agony this country has suffered and we will see a whole process now over the next hundred days of mourning for the next week people will have only half day working for example because the rest of the day the other half of the day is allowed for reflection for community gatherings for thoughts about the future this is a colossal process that's going on here goes on every year but it's a special significance to the twenty first and certainly thank you very much under the summons there joining us live from garley will it stay with this simon adams is the executive director of the global censor for responsibility to protect sea joins

us now live from new york thank you very much for your it's high time we have been hearing throughout the day of the impact this genocide has has on the randoms themselves but what impact would you say it has had on the ways a region or the winds or worlds. sure and thank you for having me on yes so look i think rwanda had a huge impact on the u.n. and i think it obviously covered the u.n. in shame i think there's no event probably in the un's history with the possible addition of the genocide or trip in it so the following year that clouded the u.n. and more shame than what happened in rwanda in one thousand nine hundred ninety four when the u.n. security council was essentially silent and compliant and the international community chose inaction indifference rather than responding in a comprehensive way to what was going on so i think in the aftermath of that led

mainly by kofi annan i think there was a rethinking of what it means to have the united nations what it means to have an international community when it comes to these most conscient shocking crime so i think that we've still got a long way to go but i think things have hopefully improved somewhat since one thousand nine hundred four would you say improved somewhat but we are twenty five years saw and then given some of the events that we're still seeing to this day in many parts of the world do you think these lessons have been learned do you think the world has learned since intervene when it needs to. i think of the partly learned i think the the general policy before when faced with genocide anywhere in the world was one as i said of indifference and inaction so in a sense inconsistency is a form of progress so when we look at how the international community has responded

to somewhere like the central african republic or south sudan or the congo not genocidal situations but but situations where mass atrocities are happening i think that's a positive thing but of course look at the world in which we live look at syria look at what happened to the region minority in me in my word genocide was perpetrated in late twenty seventeen look at the situation in cameroon at the moment where the country is on fire and we can't even get it on the agenda of the un security council so i still think there is a. glaring gap between pretty words and consistent action in obviously i think we need to close that and consistently uphold our responsibility to protect people around the world when they're faced by these most conscience shocking crimes and how do we cause that gap what does that needs to be done do you feel in some way that this is a responsibility of world leaders or do you think perhaps that given the violence that we see on a daily daily basis perhaps people become desensitized to this how do we close that

gap. well i think there is a sense of kind of i don't know quite what to call it but a kind of atrocity attention deficit disorder i think the world seems chaotic to people can be very to proceed in demoralizing for people and so the tendency is to want to look away but i think there is something there is you know it's incumbent upon our leaders it's incumbent upon the u.n. you know united nations to not look away and to be involved and i think if you look at the situation like that in cameroon at the moment or of what happened in me n. ma in twenty seventeen or members of a very good case there was a genocide there we had years of early warning we had years of reports by human rights organizations like my own talking about the persecution of the reinjure talking about what was happening and then of course the trigger came the genocide happened and there was no action and that was partly because of you know the veto

on the un security council which has become an impediment to acting in many of these cases but i think i feel sometimes that the international community is still more content to mourn afterwards and to attend a commemoration service than it is to actually act in a timely and decisive way when people are facing the threat of the machete or the death squad or of the mass grave subring analysis there from simon adams director of the global center for the responsibility to protect thank you very much for speaking with us on al-jazeera today thank you. well among the stories we have still ahead for you with pretty much everything washed away we're inside a cycling ravaged part of mozambique to see how people are recovering plus. i'm currently in bangkok about indonesia to get that children who grow up here faith and unfettered future but one school is trying to change that. and in sports find

out why events are screwed when the italian league later with ads playing a game. of syrian government forces have killed at least fourteen people in the northwest of the country it happens and it lives countrysides the side of santa cruz was the hardest hit it liberates the last rebel held territory in syria it's supposed to be free of fighting and to reveal negotiated spy russia and turkey. now israel heads to the polls on cheese data elects a new governments the israeli palestinian conflict has been at the heart of foreign and domestic policies of israeli politicians prime minister benjamin netanyahu benefited greatly when his course are light on what trying to clear jerusalem's israel jerusalem israel's capital rather last year and moved the u.s.

embassy there just weeks ago trumped recognized israel's claims over the occupied sco and heights well in just the past year israeli forces have killed and maimed hundreds of palestinian protesters along the fence in gaza and israel netanyahu has also approved new illegal settlements and expanded existing ones and then there's the nation state law which defines israel as a jewish state effectively downgrading known g.'s to second class citizenship harry fawcett's has more now from west jerusalem. four years ago benjamin netanyahu pushed the raisman who don't boo boo's in a facebook video on polling day he used fears of the palestinian israeli vote to mobilize his own core support. for that but in this campaign israel's prime minister has deployed race as an issue unapologetically and much earlier in the

piece as most controversial move drink criticism from moderates at home and jewish organizations in the u.s. has been to engineer a coalition of smaller right wing parties that includes the supremacist jewish power one of whose candidates has been barred from standing for inciting racism against palestinians from all parties incitement racism against the palestinians in general and the palestinian minority in particular against the leadership of the palestinian minority. clear statements that they are not part of the political democratic game in israel. one. netanyahu is lines of attack against his main rival blue and white party has been that they would need the support of palestinian israeli parties to block him from forming a coalition that was taken up by israeli model lawyer and t.v. presenter returned salah who used her instagram page to ask and what's the problem with the arabs calling on the government to tell people they lived in

a country of all its citizens and all people are born equal israel's prime minister engaged telling his own six million strong social media following an important correction israel is not a country of all its citizens adding israel is the nation state of the jewish nation and it's alone israeli jews are concerned and in some cases with good reason about the attitudes to israel of the duly elected arab leadership and therefore he's tapping into something that you know has some that exists and has some basis i would say for lots of israelis but he's taking it into. very disharmonious directions netanyahu denies it he's a few division insisting his likud party has served the interests of palestinian israelis benjamin netanyahu is throwing everything he can at this campaign as he battles to stay in office face down corruption charges and cement his legacy but his opponents say that legacy will be permanently tainted by the way he's chosen to fight this election are

a force that al-jazeera westerners. it's time now for the weather and there's yet more flooding in the eastern mediterranean rob the winter rains have moved into spring rains not as bad as very wet winter but they're still there we're talking about creech this time zone these this massive cloud is brought out from the south and then mixed in some moisture with it and surprisingly doesn't take much to give it a flooding over lands i said has had a pretty wet winter this is on the island of crete in situ which is in the east pretty widespread flooding as you can see from and to be honest not very much rain as reported that's the thing that's gone through this is about last thirty six hours with a satellite pictures has not been dispersed and gone. through turkey as you can see in our under nice clear skies the thing is about fifty so reported much the same on the mainland agrees but in turkey mommer is nearly double that now along the whole the south coast of turkey there was flooding during the winter so this will easily produce flooding one small forecast why it's rosalee dry in turkey but time

fortunately this time tomorrow the rains come back to greece expect yes more flooding as a quick look at further east in iran where of course is extensive flooding for a very wet last couple of weeks the figure of hundred thirty six images meets up in the mountains in the province of lower stan the lower that's come down and move in the floodplain further south we've got the worst of the flooding the good news is over the next three or four days there's not much more rain to come halloa. the nearly two million people in mozambique need food aid to survive as they try to rebuild their lives after a cycle in its eye the storm washed away hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmlands leaving people without anything to harvest from either miller has more from china macondo. the heat is sweltering but these people in china more condo in central wasn't be equal q four hours they're waiting for food one of them is also guster she says she lost her home and small farm to the psych loan and the

floods also carefully shares the rice beans and oil she's collected with her neighbors she hopes these basic necessities will last two weeks but with seven miles to feed it's going to be difficult and i was in the city where did they get well i feel a bit better because the peace time getting some help through at this time it has been suffering and more suffering i was expecting help from the government. people here usually farmer rice potatoes and maize but those crops will last a flood waters up to eleven meters high now that the flood waters receded the aid agencies are able to reach remote areas that two weeks ago were submerged so far the world food program says it's helped half a million people and in the weeks to come once to triple that number. the floods not only devastated farms and wasn't baek but to malawi and zimbabwe as well the un says one point eight million people urgently need emergency humanitarian assistance

it's the worst natural disaster that was on beach has ever faced and we knew that before even though the site role there was very high level of monks ration in the country and those level are really pushed to another limits so it's quite critical to be here as soon as possible as soon as we can reach those people to provide assistance to everybody in his village because these are farmers in farming communities they've lost their crops the government estimates that more than seven hundred thousand head. of agricultural land has been flooded people here say if they're to recover they need seeds to plant as soon as possible without them they fear they'll have to depend on help from outside when and if it arrives from al-jazeera macondo mozambique. still to come in the second half of this news our greek law says these refugee children must be offered free education well luke was keeping them out of cos.

people have to weigh your own record on this trouble in fact a few years ago there was place only for one state on the land of israel i do not believe in a two state solution the official story isn't there and i'm sure we all feel sorry i don't care about the official story if you were a little visit today you would say what has the media been telling the world isn't watching why there's lots to graze in here join me mad the hot sun on our front of my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories on the big issues here on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. where every. year watching al-jazeera quick to mind all the top stories this hour. the u.n. is calling for an urgent two hour truce to allow injured people on civilians to escape from southern tripoli before says loyal to these two rival governments have been fighting. sit on the. embattled president a while bashir has met army leaders and says he wants to continue dialogue with all groups thousands of anti-government protesters want the army to back then and their demand to force bashir outs of power they've been defying

a curfew and continuing their process for a second day in a row. commemorations are underway in rwanda twenty five years after the start of a genocide that killed eight hundred thousand people marks the beginning of one hundred days of national mourning. well let's stay with our top story on libya. a senior fellow at the foreign policy institute at john hopkins university he's joining us live from washington d.c. . there is of course a very fluid situation happening in trip to tripoli right now this is all coming just weeks before a supposed peace conference what do you make of the timing of half those assaults.

it is because i believe it's because of the peace conference i think that it wants to dictate terms and wants to. impose his will not only militarily in libya but also on any political process in the future and he has always tried to do that over the years and i think sadly. and the international community over the last two or three days have not taken the strong stand that they should take in terms of naming him directly as a spoiler to political process something they have promised over the years over and over again in all of their press releases all of the u.n. meetings and i think they're with that they send a signal to other armed militias in libya that it's ok to use guns to impose a political will so what do you suppose the un is doing that do you think the international community is sitting on its hands and if so why.

that's that's what it seems like i mean they issued a statement they met in a closed door session today is a good security council. they have not issued a clear direct statement to have to stop and desist and they did not commit themselves to any reaction or military reaction to protect tripoli so it seems there are sitting on their hands indeed how far they're willing to do this. and what signals are they sending behind the scenes to have is not clear i think. is something has to happen and i think either the u.n. as a whole or even in this case the united states separately needs to warn him directly to stop. i think there is

a confusion here between huffed as an individual and the libyan army which is divided there is a libyan army in tripoli a libyan army in benghazi which he leads however i think it's important to make a president would have done himself to send the signal that the international community is not willing to accept any one using guns to impose a political will on and on libya. thanks very much for bringing us your thoughts and analysis there as half at our quell senior fellow at the foreign policy institute at john hopkins joining us from washington d.c. thank you. now we're getting reports from society state media that a security checkpoint has been attacks with explosives in abu dehra surround five hundred kilometers northeast of the capital riyadh is understood two people were killed and two others have been arrested more on that when it comes in. the u.s.

president has ridiculous the system which give much gives migrants a safe passage donald trump says people seeking asylum at the border with mexico look like mixed martial arts fighters he was addressing a republican jewish coalition in las vegas. style of progress. is a scary. some of the roughest people you've ever seen people that looked like they should be fighting for the u.f.c. . they read a little page given by lawyers are all over the place your own lawyers tell him what to say you look at this guy years or wow that's a tough cookie. a greece is trying to offer educations a young refugees on the gene islands but getting children into costs is proving difficult local say already thin resources are being stretched too far refugee

parents are concerns about greek schools johns our populace has more from some us. naveed ahmadi is a fifteen year old afghan who dreams of becoming a civil engineer he missed a year of school while his family made its way from iran to greece something he can ill afford if he has to and to university now he has enrolled in a high school on summers but some local parents don't want refugees like mingling with their children one reason appears to be that refugees live in squalor four thousand of them a packed in and around a camp meant for six hundred fifty naveed as lucky to live in a mobile home for most there is no proper sewage no electricity and no washing facilities we try to have the same life as we have the past but it's. this is our situations don't we can't do anything is the canvas. and the game is

very lives we don't. we can't do anything many refugees opt for informal education offered by private charities that also gives them a break from the difficulties of camp life formal education for refugees and asylum seekers is a recent development here for them. when a representative from the great center for disease control came to talk to parents he said we're looking at a public health timebomb to shop basically vaccinated they get a single shot for measles mumps and rubella that doesn't mean it's going moment requirements refugees who arrive on the aegean islands are kept here for much of their asylum process in case they have to be deported back to neighboring turkey so they've been seen by many as a temporary population when the government offered education to asylum seekers and twenty sixteen refugees living on the islands were left out but the asylum process is so slow they are now stuck here for years last september the government extended

education to island refugees about thirty have been rolled so far here on sa most but as many as a thousand a logical that's equal to two thirds of the local greek school population many of the people of south most and other reste adjourn islands consider that an unfair burden on the school system some of. us have shouldered all the refugee burden for europe's sake we've been left to our fate and people are worn out we don't have a problem with refugees we've got a problem with those who are responsible for the situation greece and especially the islands of the east a-g. and act as europe's buffer against irregular migration from turkey most seem resigned to that fate but here at the border they want to europe to do a better job of demonstrating its humanitarian values jumpstart ople us al jazeera some of us. venezuela's president son the man trying to force him from power have held rival rallies in caracas nicolas maduro and on blames each other for the

electricity outages plaguing the country well shortly we'll hear from jim who was with the president supporters but first here's our latin america editor lucien newman who was among the opposition crites. this is what opponents of nicolas maduro call the first stage of what they've labeled operation liberty in actual fact it's an attempt to gauge just how successfully they can continue to bring supporters out onto the streets not just here but throughout than israela. they want to show that they have not grown tired or afraid despite increased threats from armed paramilitary groups loyal to the government to fire tear gas and he didn't bullets at protesters but but this if it is says she's not afraid. but you know is incompetent he talks about socialism but he lives like a millionaire like an imperialist but we haven't had any water in my neighborhood

for more than a year. and. opposition leader apologized for the improvised stage and the poor sound quality he said intelligence police operatives have confiscated for generators and two trucks for the rally and arrested the drivers are going to run in let me. tell you it's just not water and electricity that we are demanding no we're here to demand freedom and democracy food education and a future and nothing will stop us until we achieve it. but nearly three months into the standoff now google is on the offensive tuesday the supreme court which is loyal to the government stripped of his legislative immunity which means he can be arrested at any moment despite warnings of retaliation from the united states. the sign reads the next exit is meet a flautist meet afloat as is the presidential palace but it is wishful thinking if

these people believe that president nicolas maduro is going anywhere anytime soon and so the real task of the opposition leaders now is to try to keep these people out on the streets for the long haul. the large demonstration in caracas was peaceful but in the northern city of by a riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters why the admitted that more sacrifices are needed. but his most sobering message was directed at those who are calling for u.s. military intervention. why though says it's up to the nice wayland's to lead the charge for regime change a clear reference to the trumpet ministrations recent admission that military action is not in the cards for now. seeing human i've just. seen. president nicolas maduro put out the call to supporters and they heeded that pool thousands of them taking to the streets of central correctness to show that them

back to president still enjoys a lot of support amongst the people men and women young and old we've gathered here to show that not only they supports president nicolas maduro but they are them and three opposed to the u.s. sanctions imposed against an israeli let's speak to a couple of them house the first why why are you here today but. we are afraid the hour will lead to a stand with president nicholas motherhood and the socialist i want to show until the very end we want to make they will grow at their top class and move. well that's one of the fears obviously one of the things that the u.s. has been banking on is not the continuous power shortages and water cuts would make people turn against the president's charm or to ask this gentleman here with these we're told shortages of electricity cuts doesn't know made you lose faith in the government through them and they put it as absolutely not we know destructive acts are meant to break us but we will resist we need achieve southam powermat we know

that imperil ism is a reality so we must resist it. thank you now aside from showing their support for nicolas maduro the essential message that is also expressed by the people gathered these large crowds in caracas is that they want to support their revolution they believe that the foreign intervention as they've described that particular from the united states is an attempt to defeat the socialist revolution here and they say. the bay are against any foreign intervention that they are in support of the president and that they are here to defend the revolution. civilians are being periodically barred from using a major highway and indian administered kashmir authorities are only a living military and paramilitary units to use it for two days a week until next month the government says it's to prevent attacks similar to the one in february which killed forty indian soldiers was staying at indian minister
