the u.s. congress is looking into white nationalism and reports of increasing white supremacists violence rights groups and affected families attended the hearing as did represent the social media companies she have attends the reports. this rally in charlottesville virginia and twenty seventeen has become an iconic representation of the growing confidence of white supremacists in the u.s. and the house judiciary committee hearing on hate crimes and white nationalism began with this assessment white supremacists have been responsible for more than half fifty four percent of all domestic extremist related murders in the past ten years and in the last year that figure has risen to seventy eight percent of

all extremists related murders a father spoke of his grief of losing two of his children under saddam murdered by a white supremacist this condescending man told her he hated how she looked and. he made it very clear to my children that they were not welcome in their own neighborhood and representatives of facebook and google vowed to crack down on hate speech there is no place for terrorism or hate on facebook mentioned in passing the burning of three african-american churches in louisiana over recent days investigations continue into responsibility but officials say the fire was suspicious but then super congressional debate gave way to anger from the right a witness from a conservative group contended that despite the statistics there was in fact no rise in racist attacks is that they're manipulating statistics. the goal here is to scare blacks hispanics gays and muslims into helping them center to set helping

them censor dissenting opinions ultimately into helping them we gain control of our country's narrative which they feel they lost they feel that president donald trump should not have beats hillary another witness so the problem wasn't white right wing nationalists but muslims and left wing activists opposed to the israeli occupation incidents perpetrated by muslim and leftist campus groups are rarely satisfactorily resolved let's look at the statistics of a.t.o.s. worldwide survey of one hundred countries found that forty nine percent of muslims harbor anti-semitic out this tuesday but the a.d.l. representative rejected his analysis we are not seeing muslims in the united states attacking jews or vice versa if we don't join in coalition and have each other's backs no minority is safe and the only winners are those who so division and try to divide us it was a fascinating we concentrated picture of the debate regarding the rise of white

supremacy in the us meanwhile the live stream of the hearing on you tube was closed to view of postings because of what the site called the presence of hateful comments she abrahams the old zero washington. and uniforms national guard in mexico is getting help from the united nations to improve human rights and combat what it calls terrifying levels of crime the un's human rights commission and michelle bash me and president under this man lopez obrador signed a training deal aimed at reducing violations including torture and extra judicial killings manya rapinoe has more from mexico city. the united nations high commissioner on human rights michel but is in mexico city with a challenge for the national government rein in widespread violence and insecurity while also guaranteeing the human rights of citizens now through a signed agreement the united nations plans to provide. filesystems in the training of mexico's next generation police force the so-called one of the us you're not or

national guard to ensure that human rights are being respected now the high commissioner spoke at a press conference on a wide variety of topics ranging from the humanitarian crisis in venezuela to the plight of central american refugees that are seeking asylum in mexico the high commissioner also vowed to a cyst in the investigation of forty three students who went missing from mexico in two thousand and fourteen calling their case emblematic take a listen to what she had to say earlier at that press conference. the agassi case revealed to the world a major problem in mexico that of more than forty thousand missing people that's the official number one quarter of them a woman there an estimated twenty six thousand unidentified bodies catalogued by the state and since twenty sixteen more than eight hundred mass graves although we believe there are many more these numbers a terrifying even more worrisome is the fact that forced disappearances continue to

occur. installations featuring the portraits of the forty three students like the one that we're at now in downtown mexico city is evidence that the subject is still very much on the minds of people here and we have to keep in mind mexico is coming off of the most violent year in its history so an announcement that the united nations is partnering with the mexican government to to increase security is a welcome denouncement but it may not be enough to convince critics who warn that human rights could still be violated through the further militarization of the country's national police force. forces andy thank you so much foley we'll talk to one goal advances the second leg of their champions league side of munches to city but the quarter final win came at a cost for their caps and harry kane will says he missed a penalty in the first half in london and said you're aquarist spock it was saved by hugo to race twelve minutes from santorum south korean starts on him in school

the only goal of the game. but england captain kane well he left the stadium on crutches after injuring his ankle is spurs manager fears the striker could be out for the rest of the season so be full but. well we're going to know and boss will know only too look look forward and pray that this is not a big issue and try to recover earlier soon as possible but the saluki. would liverpool be a poor sight suno in the first leg of tuesday's of a quarter final nobby kates and rebirth so for me now with the goals for last season's runners up. well a new project in goals is giving hope to palestinian emphases who want to carry on playing football over the last year one hundred and thirty six people have lost limbs after being wounded in both the violence reports. in a place where hope always seems in short supply these football players are showcasing nothing but determination a life

a clinic and everywhere i go i like to prove myself these radio keep patient believes i've become disabled and then i'm useless but i am not disabled i am useful i can now do things that i couldn't even do when i had two legs. bassam up or a bit tells us that like many here his leg was amputated after he was shot by an israeli sniper while attending one of the weekly great march of return border protests last year he is one of dozens of amputee football players from gaza happy to be taking part in this new program organized by the international committee of the red cross or i.c.r.c. schools have got better simon baker founder of the irish amputee football association and also an amputee has traveled here in order to both train and inspire he's all odd by the resilience he sees all around him they don't want sympathy don't want pity they want to be self-sufficient and they want to get into their i would say and then i will need to tell them what to do they want me to

healthful suppose a little go at it and that's all we hear it's a joke that's the other players say that so far the plan is working. ok if i've got that enough see it made me develop myself to be a real football player and not to think about my amputated leg when i come here to play and i forget about it completely and of insemination at the end of the practice may be tough but spirits are high according to the i.c.r.c. this is the first such program of its kind here in gaza and over the course of the next several days sixty players fifteen coaches and twelve referees will receive training despite the smiles on display. organizers are keenly aware how tough it is to survive in gaza you need to find work you need to you know like a lot of effort just to get by every single day the fact that all of them they left whatever they had to do on this particular day if they came here to play sports just shows how important this program really is. for now though it's camaraderie

and competition a decision to revel in the fun of football no matter how many difficulties life has thrown their way. and gaza magic johnson has resigned as the presidents of the l.a. lakers the basketball legend played a key role in bringing upon james the franchise but for a six straight season the same as missed out on the playoffs. you know we're halfway there we're coming i think this summer with another star coming in who i was going to bring him in i think this team is going to be in position to really continue for a championship with the growth of the young players. tiger woods says he's confident his major winning days on behind him would said sin city thursday's masters without a win at one of the four major championships since two thousand and eight a full time masters winner has had multiple back operations in recent years but has recovered to reach twelve in the world rankings. i just feel that i have improved

a lot in the past twelve fourteen months but of more they think i just proved to myself that i can play at this level i worked my way back to. you know the players. the united states has ended an agreement that made it easier for cuban baseball players to sign up for american teams the deal had meant the players no longer had to defect in order to join major league baseball and the gallagher reports from miami. when president obama visited cuba in two thousand and sixteen it was hailed as a new era in u.s. cuba relations a so-called normalization process began to thaw decades of animosity and part of that sore intense negotiations over of all things a sport both countries love baseball the two countries eventually agreed on a baseball player transfer deal it enabled cubans to play major league baseball in the u.s. without being forced to politically defect and then suffer being banned from ever

returning to their home island but president trump has now scrapped the agreement saying it violates u.s. trade laws that's because player transfers involved a payment to the cuban government's baseball federation something orlando gutierrez who broadcast radio programs to cuba says is a clear violation of the sixty year old u.s. embargo on cuba the idea that he will be for federation has an identity different in this thing from the comments are doing is totally false so payments were would would have been made to the cuban government to a customer in order to buy these these players are slaves in havana the trumpet ministrations decision is being viewed as a loss for cuba that a lot of putting out this month says talented players will never realize their full potential semantic there yet another says it's broken the future for young players and this is you playing baseball here to play ball in cuba in the beach santa maria beach four year old gonzalo not i hope played in the major leagues his career in the u.s. began in the one nine hundred fifty s. during the cuban revolution the former pittsburgh pirates player says politics has

no place in sport but we are in the middle all the host of the bob how we call model that in the best way we can recall. calling through the. you who want to play baseball the cuban baseball federation say the decision only harms athletes and their families trumpet ministration says when cuba is a democracy things will change in all more than thirty cuban players would you to transfer to major league baseball under the old bomber agreement but their fate now seems to have been sealed like many others seeking a better life in the united states their only option is to defect in a statement major league baseball said they stood by the goals of the agreement to ensure and trafficking from cuba and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida well the boston red sox have been celebrating their twenty eighteen world series title when the nine time champions took on and lost to the toronto blue jays in their first time going with this season the red sox of might their worst start since twenty

eleven losing nine of the opening twelve games. ok that is i suppose looking for andy thank you very much for that that's it for this news hour on al-jazeera do stay with us though plenty more wild news coming up next with sammy did say don thanks so much. when we live in a time of war and tragedies crimes against humanity. and activist repression. enforced disappearance arbitrary arrests. extrajudicial executions brutal torture the list goes on. who investigates who judges the criminals. who compensates the victims the international conference on national regional and international mechanisms to combat and ensure accountability under international law. organized by the

national human rights committee. united nations human rights office of the high commissioner. european parliament. and global alliance of national human rights institutions. twenty one the teenage years are left behind still trying to find my place trying to see where i fit in the whole picture and adult hood begins to take form i did cook occasionally but the great doesn't really want me to you wants me to stay off my feet in two thousand and six south africa revisits the children of apartheid for

the time and much has changed over the past forty menas twenty one up south africa announces iraq. well you know. some of the. time between the two main parties in israel but benjamin netanyahu has the advantage in coalition talks. time sam is a guy and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up i. thousands around sudan's military headquarters for

a fourth night as western nations join the call for political transition. british prime minister about to head to an e.u. emergency summit on. first she faces questions parliament. russia's president puts forward an ambitious program to secure moscow's foothold in the arctic. now benjamin netanyahu looks set for a fifth prime minister despite the party of his main rival winning as many seats both netanyahu the likud and the blue and white coalition of benny gantz secured thirty five seats but netanyahu is expected to get the support of smaller right wing parties to form a coalition government in a moment we'll get the palestinian reaction from brahimi but first let's go with the stephanie deca she's in west jerusalem so he may have

a fifth term but what kind of term is that going to shape up to be for israeli politics. well it seems that it's going to be more of a shift to the right than we've already seen here before sammy and also i think a big question mark remains about what these corruption charges the indictment hanging over him what kind of results these are going to have i can tell you just been speaking to people here and a lot of people have expressed disappointment in the fact that he seems to be set for a fifth term not because of any issues when it comes to let's say the palestinian issue it's more about the corruption issue and people also saying that ten years plus three that he served as prime minister before is enough that they want to change even though he did have quite a good turnout in jerusalem so i think we're going to have to wait and see will know at least a month from now what this government is going to look like some people saying well perhaps a good idea would be if president rivlin makes both men netanyahu and form

a unity government i think again we're going to have to wait and see how the politics are going to unfold but certainly there is a shift to the right when it comes to the politics here sammy even actively his campaign benjamin netanyahu using the left as a dirty word warning his support base that if they didn't go out to vote that they would wake up to a left wing prime minister even though the other option the main contender benny gantz i don't think we can describe him as left wing certainly being you know the main cost army chief of staff in charge of the gaza war in twenty fourteen but that is what we're seeing here is certainly very much a shift to the right when it comes to the bigger picture of politics stuff you mentioned briefly that the corruption charges we can't forget about that how how will that impact that fifty. well in july he's going to have to answer to the attorney general that is his right of return let's say before the attorney general decides on any charges against him he can mentation his

position as prime minister there's no legal precedent that means he needs to stand down walls this case goes on but some people have been speaking to people who've advised the government before political analysts have been watching what goes on here politically question whether he will be able to sustain the pressure and whether he may still be prime minister in the next ten months because in february of twenty twenty a final say will be given whether the attorney general will charge him or not so i think it's all up in the air we do know that he's facing the heat this is why we saw netanyahu really campaigning to the last minutes yesterday on social media going to the beach getting people to vote of course he is very much a savvy political operator but just because he seems to be set to be the next prime minister against time we do.
