rising. made a call early morning on tuesday surrounded by a handful of soldiers that decided to switch sides but they were just few of them and this was followed by two days of very violent confrontations on the streets in particularly the capital caracas now white doll asked is supporters to demonstrate peacefully on saturday he wants this to be a peaceful demonstration and which to call once again on the military of course the question is how many people will indeed show up given the fact that some disappointment is creeping in among supporters after the failed attempt on tuesday and after a very harsh crackdown on part of the government on demonstrators four people have died hundreds injured and we also saw president nicolas maduro appearing once

again for a second time this week together with hundreds of soldiers in this case with cadets at a military base where he once again insisting that the military will remain loyal to his government in saying that this is a confrontation between the imperialist state the united states and that will be very and revolution on a standard thank you had a son drove. well i lots more ahead when we come back. why some south africans are out on the streets ahead of the election plus. this is not only that all this and deepest lake in the world it also holds a lot of secrets cuteness to diseases and answers to scientific questions i'm staff last in reporting from lake baikal in russia.

hello welcome to another look at the international forecast over some rather heavy rain affecting a good part of central and southern china at the my macleod descending in across so many areas into the gulf of tonkin the southwest seeing some wet weather and even cloud right never really too far away from hong kong over the next day or so whether pushes up into central posturing bootlicking on the disturb side sunday going on in some monday and if anything from monday that whets weather just pushing down towards the southeast winds coming in from the south easterly direction converging and causing some pretty heavy showers or longer spells of rain as a result of that was a long spells of rains of the northeast of indianapolis seeing up into bangladesh courtesy of trouble side close enough on e bay the worst of the system is now over the winds could still cause some problems could still see some of the storm surge around the eastern side of bangladesh but the heaviest rain has now gone functionally this system did move through pretty

quickly so that sunday's pitcher showers a possibility into the east and possibly at that pushing up into new polo showers east as we go on into monday but that driving wind could still cause a few problems with the storm surge elsewhere is still on the hot side no prob with a high of forty two. people have to weigh your own record on this trial in fact a few years ago there is place only for one state on the land of israel i do not believe in a two state solution the official story is unfair and on paper we will show you i don't care about the official story if you were to go visit today you would say what has the media been telling the world isn't black and white there's lots of race if you join me mad the hot sun on the 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.

found that one creature living here with extreme survival skills might be crucial to the discovery of new antibiotics the enfeebled a coup station often mistaken for a shrimp produce a spec to react that can be used to cure infections in humans. from a sort of course it's very significant for humanity what we do here because we are now facing increasing resistance to existing interviewer six meaning that there used to work are less effective. before this new antibiotics can be used on humans a lot more research needs to be done some pharmaceutical companies have already shown interest it usually takes ten years before a newly discovered antibiotics are produced the institute is also using the crustaceans to study the effects of climate change and other and via mental changes undef in creatures by injecting micro sensors into tiny bodies by observing different kinds of crustaceans living in different depths of the lake they hope to

obtain information about how humans can adapt as well scientists believe that this immense lake not only holds the cure to diseases but also the answer to and fire mental challenges our planet is facing but this league is still largely unexplored and to reveal its secrets some say the government should change its strategy and change the league into an international high tech research project so far lake baikal is mostly used as a tourist attraction and source for drinking water scientists say the world's largest freshwater reservoir can be better protected if it's turned into a center for biotechnological research instead rio limited to more than twenty five scientists. but there are a lot of questions with can be studied but twenty five thousand scientists from by co this is a unpatched resource of new. technology and biotech for well well nobody really knows about and via mentalist say they support the idea you

danced at the club but it will be political i believe this is a gigantic nature a library which can be source of information for an endless number of years can be part of our search for certain means of adaptation to life on this planet and if we learn how to use this bank then this can contribute to our lives and the habit of the lake can be protected the government didn't respond to our request to comment on the plan one of the obstacles to attract scientists to lake baikal could be the extreme weather conditions in siberia but while temperatures can reach minus thirty celsius in winter deep inside the lake the temperature has stayed the same for millions of years there are stations who can live up to twenty years and could hold the answer to the secret of a long life at least that is what scientists are eager to find out step fastened al-jazeera lake baikal russia.

this is al jazeera let's get around that now of off the top stories israeli air strikes and artillery have attacked gaza after palestinian fighters fired rockets into israel the ministry of health in gaza says one palestinian has been killed israeli military commanders say at least one hundred fifty rockets were fired from gaza injuring two israelis. cyclon forney has stormed into bangladesh killing at least twelve people were forcing two million to seek shelter it's weakened since devastated communities along the east coast of india on friday venezuela's opposition leader one who says he's the president is stepping up his campaign for military support commanders remained loyal to president nicolas maduro so far. supporters to march to army bases the u.s. says tight restrictions on iran's nuclear program by failing to renew two key

sanctions waivers in response iran's president is accusing the u.s. of trying to sow division among people. as the united states is violating international laws and pressuring companies to prevent them cooperating with iran and seeking to weaken our currency and the independence of our country there are huge conspiracies against our country and the american administration is waging a political and psychological war against us a decision to change the regime in iran washington aims to spread division in the country and the iranians must unite to peace this war. sri lanka's president says he believes eisel is behind the sunday bombings the left two hundred fifty people dead catholic sunday church services have been cancelled again over threats of further attacks tilings king. has been crowned monaco after two years of mourning his father. he placed the seven point three crown on his head in

a coronation ceremony mixing buddhist and hindu traditions those are the headlines up front is next. a university degree to be a doctor or a teacher any study or exam is one of the best to gates the pakistani at least selling a degree to thousands of around the world on al-jazeera as india goes to the polls what's the future for muslims christians and other minorities if they're in there most of the in the b j p when again. i met the arson in the recent easter sunday attacks that left hundreds dead across sri lanka reports now suggest at least one of the suicide bombers trained in syria with i thought so is it too dangerous to allow former i saw fighters who have been

in syria or iraq or even their family members to return to their home countries that's our debate but first the world's biggest exercise in democracy is underway in india with more than one hundred million eligible voters and two thousand political parties prime minister narendra modi and his right wing nationalist party the b j p are looking to secure another victory but given the dramatic rise in hate speech and communal violence why should indians reelect modi for another five years all of this week's headliner spokes person alan kohler. balun kohli thanks for joining me on up front india is in the midst of elections and your party the b j p has been in power since twenty fourteen when they're in the remote is your country's prime minister but given your term in office has been marked by a nearly thirty percent rise in communal violence according to your own government ministry figures why should the people of india especially people from minority communities reelect the b j p. there are two reasons that you would see

increase in statistics when i speak also and as as an advocate is there too we also encourage greater reporting for example sometimes it's said that rapes in india are increased simultaneously you also have importing which means encouraging weak teams to come out and call and report so that's one part to it so statistics don't always give you the complete picture so if you would ask me as a government why should minorities or as a matter of fact why should any indian citizen look at the b j p back to power and prime minister morley specifically so michael the question is now show me a single deet of prime minister more these government that distinguishes between a in lieu of muslim a christian a bulldozed a jew policy or any other religion that is in india in any way show us the scheme that is discriminatory in any sense violates the constitutional principle of equality before the law so therefore i don't see it basically charges are made on

us but i don't deny that agenda and work ever shows that well we're coming to inequality discrimination in a moment just on the attacks so when the un high commissioner for human rights michel but warns of increasing harassment and targeting of minorities in particular muslims and balance she's just a victim of misreporting in your view. well actually i personally reject it i don't hold them in very high regard personally because i think if they would like to travel it'll be on the country and their offices i think they'll have enough work to do in the world that we live in india it's not the place that they need to be focusing on indians are focused on what's going on in india according to a study by india's and the t.v. network since your government came to office the use of hateful and divisive language by top politicians in india shot by nearly five hundred percent they say your party's president for example i met shar recently referred to undocumented muslim immigrants from bangladesh as quote termites and infiltrators are you ok with that kind of basically nazi like dehumanizing language just the kind of

language this preceded ethnic cleansing and genocide in countries across the world infiltrators termites william use multiple questions into one so let's try and address each one of them so let's basically look at the analogy of a termite essentially and in india we are used to it because we do have a lot of it's they come from the ground and they eat you up hollow from inside and therefore in india if you would travel and ask people who live in the east india which has been inundated by millions of illegal immigrants we have districts in the state of assam that no longer have indian citizens and when i say indian citizens we including indian muslims too who are just on the language. and infiltrators that's not dehumanizing language no i think it's an analogy and it's a perfectly apt analogy because we make for cases when we raise these issues of illegal immigrants we point out that they are the security of us because we had in terms of

reports coming out of links to terrorist networks and we have been of terrorism for almost three decades particularly from pakistan the second part is in terms of draining resources meant for indian citizens indian citizens are including muslim citizens and if you are going to have people who are not natural. citizens of yours coming in there and let's look at it immigration is a problem that many countries in the west or whether it's you or whether it's the united states a lot and i'm going to jump in there was a different terminologies and donald trump has been criticized for racist language so not the best analogy maybe how about the government minister of union minister on a day who has said and i quote as long as there is islam in the world there will be terrorism until we uproot islam we can't remove terrorism you're ok with that rhetoric you're ok with him being in government representing the b.g.p. well number one i do i'm in my position to basically say that every individual has

a right to articulate their point of view in his individual capacity as individual capacity and he has not spoken that in terms of a government policy to you ask me in my view i think i respect every religion and as far as i see it i am concerned about violence in the world but then i have the greatest respect for islam as much as i doubt for any other religion which is. someone who respects islam and indian muslims how do you feel about a b.g.p. minister saying until we uproot islam we can move terrorism if you'd said until we were hindu ism would you be ok with that we wouldn't be ok with that why are you ok with this one is he not designed when he was you know as any fired. well i get that is that if we start looking at it only from the perspective of what b.g.p. says it then i'd say that you'd first have to do it if you want to make a case against egypt you have to look at the performance of every government and the statements and wild statements and crazy you see i mean coming from a lot of the. lawyers you know them well i don't i'm. going to tell you you're

going to answer but this is what about is about you know saying what about congress what about other people i'm asking all of them when they're on my show i've interviewed shooter on the show happy to ask him all those questions i'm asking you on behalf of the b.g.p. you have a minister in government who says i repeat until we are islam we can't remove terrorism how does he stay in his job after making such an outrageous claim well i think there are three parts to it so if you ask me i'll say it also frankly. if we look at the global terrorist map there is the misuse of the slot by a large number of people and i know that it's not going to be without a fight it too will know that what he said we just respect let me know you love to hear this because it's uncomfortable so let's stop the encompass a lot of trouble we've devoted into isis and to muslim terrorism yeah but you know i'm not going to let it finish that until we are brute islam yes the world you're ok with so let me just no one you're trying to get an answer from me without letting me complete it so i will get this is the only color of authority but ok who

has he spoken after perhaps. ten years coming and blowing up a few individuals we see as hundreds and thousands of people who have suffered from terrorism so that it may be more in that context he may be giving up point of view which we not be what you and i me use the same kind of language but he's entitled to under the constitution to have a point of view these as a point of view interestingly you mention kind of islamist terrorism and clearly muslims are involved in terrorism around the world christians have been involved in terrorism jews have been involved in terrorism and yet your prime minister nuri in the modi said last month that quote nowhere in history have any hindus been involved in terrorism that's a ridiculous statement to make isn't it of course they have. well in the vast majority you would look at it in a somewhat half solution reassurance a vast majority and giving a straight answer no you're not going to but i don't feel you're literally jumped away and i was asked what i wrote he said nowhere in history i'm quoting your prime minister no where in history have hindus been involved in terms of that's not true we can both agree on that right well at least i've not heard of anybody using it.

as a. just so the most famous probably terrorist in indian history who murdered mahatma gandhi the rightwing hindu nationalists not to run god say member of the r.s.s. the volunteer group that mr modi is also a member of he's not a hindu terrorist he's not a hindu committed an act of terrorism or well i mean i don't want that then perhaps you are looking at every murder to be touted as a that's a new death and no i think the assassination of mohammad gandhi was an act of terror i think that's fair to say it's a murder ok it's as simple but you're defining it as terror ok i'm looking at it as this so let's go one by one how do we define in fact this is an interesting you know you define terrorism by a number of muslims let me just do my understanding of terrorism is when an individual in any capacity individually or backed up by a group in any pieces picks up and goes out and kills more than single individual human being by a bomb blowing themselves up picking up a gun and that's also an you know an act of terror in that sense because it's terrorizing more than a single human being that's not what i want to sort of terrorism that the u.n.

uses or the u.s. or the e.u. it's not about numbers of people dead it's about the political objectives but even if you take your definition of multiple people in to look a little security just get them two thousand people going to finish and i told them as i got i got all that i need to ask a question that. hundreds of people were killed by hindu nationalists terrorists whether or not that was hundreds of people killed by hindu nationalist i will disagree with you completely because you see on the good routings i worked on that too so while everybody looks out the best to be korean looks at the muslims who got killed while we also talk about the indians who went out and saved the muslims why don't we talk of the good job police that went into the nude i mean by spitting. in short i don't mean i thought this is not a terrorist group because iraqi police fight them that's a weird analogy you know that we have been talking about the people who killed people in the drop whether or not terrorists yes or no have you finished so let me put it like this. number one you are looking some way to make

a interesting headline that terrorism is defined in a new way when it comes to look at it at the india i'm going to reject that outright as a political person and as an advocate i can count you out all the lights in india which is the part of india's history starting from one nine hundred forty seven right up still no one's ability to speak i mean no no no no no no so there's no no there's a lot of things we have i don't disagree with genocide i'm sorry let's you know but what about the genocide of eighty four again you're not about a motive you're literally saying what about about i'm not going to think that i don't question it a lot i get it in fact i begin to holland's editors and not to let me get in there i saying muslims jews christians sikhs all carry out acts of terror you're the only one saying hindu there's not every act of violence mel and i disagree with you and i will continue to disagree because you're looking at defining every act of violence as dead or doesn't and i making a qualified well let's take it that if it were running out of time let's take a specific case right now the g.o.p. has nominated for parliament

a radical hindu nationalist name praga singh tuck or who is currently on bail facing tara charges under your indian legal system for her alleged involvement in a two thousand and eight bomb attack that killed six people can you point to a governing party anywhere in the democratic world which nominates candidates for office who are on trial for terrorism. well you should have come in that ended her being in the honorable supreme court where within that. in so many years of investigation under different regimes of government and i'm talking pragmatically of how to position body the congress party which went in and couldn't find an iota of evidence against you can't delete a person just because you believe that she may have committed an act of confused it's as simple as that lays out on bail maybe i'm mistaken she's not on trial for terrorism not she is i'm saying that you're ok with i wasn't on trial for terrorism standing in parno she has a man i guess i'm waiting all right maybe she was framed but right now she's currently on trial for terrorism and she's running as

a candidate for your party and my answer to that is exactly what i said a moment ago all the supreme court is where finally she got to be on the basic guns go read the judgment don't ask me read the judgment only tell your viewers so solemnly throughout the case and she's innocent is that what you're saying i never said that was only when the central point i'm simply saying that there is not an iota of evidence that trial is going to trial eventually as it's happened with another person of the similar goods that we agree on trial you believe she's innocent but right now she is on trial for terrorism including one final question given we've seen this insurance in communal violence the car vigilante killings which we didn't have time to discuss the anti muslim rhetoric which we did discuss your government's even been accused of rewriting history books to take out the muslim rulers there's a lot of talk about hindu nationalism right now on your watch is it fair to say that the ultimate goal of a b j p government in the long run is to turn india into

a hindu rashtra a hindu state is that the ultimate goal. constitutionally india is a country where every religion is given equal rights all indian citizens we are first indian citizens then we are in those muslims christians but the so whatever think that's how it is the muslims who stayed back in one thousand forty seven chose to make india their land and then two of the constitution got rights for themselves as muslims or christians or whatever and so that's not something you support you don't support a hindu russia i mean let me said bluntly muslims are as much citizens of india as in those us so are christians so our borders so there is no denial of the fact that we are all indian citizens first you say the constitution of gives you that likely but you still got out of the question do you support a hindu state building just hindu state yes or no we are a country that does not if you are logical you rooted in. logic we are a country that runs on the constitution that's your answer pick up the constitution and the constitution doesn't speak of it in the lot of muslim state pakistan india

and all members of the b.g.p. do talk about hindu states i'm just wondering do you know in cali support that call for a hindu state well that's a thirty minute debate to understand in what context its use not to convert india into a theologically driven induced state unfortunately we have another thirty minutes and ellen callie. not appreciate you joining me on that front thank you. more than two hundred fifty people were killed on easter sunday when eight coordinated bomb blasts tore through multiple sites in sri lanka i still claim responsibility and according to a new report at least one of the suicide bombers trained in syria with the group and that's reignited the debate in the west over what to do with the thousands of foreign fighters who've been captured should they be allowed to return home earlier i spoke to mr gifford a self-styled anti eisel campaigner who fought with the kurdish why p.g. in syria and just a middle girl former pentagon official in the obama administration i began by asking jasmine why she believes eisel fighters should be repatriated back to the

u.s. the u.k. and elsewhere so the alternative to law. taking them back now to leave them where they are right now and that means leaving some of them under control of the s.d.f. in syria which is a non-state actor and has no capacity to handle them and the other option is to leave the others and iraq under the capacity or under the jurisdiction of the iraqi government which has really shown that it also doesn't have the capacity to try them in a fair or humane manner where people are shoved into courtrooms and they have five minute trials after which they could be sentenced to death for those isis fighters who are not able to be tried in courts there are languishing in prisons they could either escape or in the meantime be further radicalized neither of those options are good for the west what's wrong with bringing them back to their home countries where they were born and raised where they have citizenship i'm trying them i actually disagree with just one of the options on the table that has already declared is that they're willing to crane's in international courts in syria pops

on the syrian iraqi border to try. fighters and their supporters at the moment they remain a huge threat to the west they've been eyed. indoctrinated since their arrival and . been receiving a huge amount of military training and we simply can't take the risk of allowing these people hundreds of well trained jihadi to float back into the west back into britain back into your back to america and potentially cause another terrorist acts but most of not all of them are quote unquote drew how do you use or terrorists or fighters we read a lot these days in the babies about the quote unquote brides young women who went down for whatever reason. to defend why they went but go and get married have kids and now realise they made a big mistake may have committed crimes too but not terrorists i want to come home

and i'm going to face the music how can you be approached to go. no i disagree that . the women are just as culpable as the men many of them women for two long side isis fighters on the front line as evidence of this young lady for instance. stitching suicide vests on to islamic states since these people are well trained as much of part of a part of the islamic state machinery as the men and alone the back and into the west is incredibly dangerous take one example someone debating a young man that spent time in libya whose father and brother was fighting in libya and he came was allowed to come back to this country where he detonated a suicide vest in manchester arena killing dozens of us so that's the threat that we face just one of these people who commit a terrible crime drug reform did on ability. first of all it's really really difficult to hold an international tribunal to try isis fighters because

internationally there is no one agreed upon definition of terrorism on the ice of brides i fundamentally disagree with this idea that we know that every single woman and then you for minors who went to travel to syria to join isis were doing so because they wanted to commit crimes to commit terrorist attacks or in the case of show my might be good which i agree with may say that she actually was culpable because they wanted to help recruit other women many of these women and we know this both anecdotally and from intelligence genuinely wanted to go live under an islamic state they were tired of being looked at as the other in europe tired of being looked at differently because they were wearing a head job or a niqab and they just wanted to practice a pious life now once they got there they realized that that was not what was happening and a lot of them have since expressed a desire to come home to live with i'm going to make a very good point made so you made the point that if if even one of them comes about it could be dangerous could you turn that on its head not all of them are

dangerous even though. all of them just made a mistake with a young person a teenager was to come home and fix their life an obstacle whatever crimes that may be avoided how can you be against that. maybe even if ninety percent ninety five percent of them want to return back to the u.k. and return back to their normal lives. one present a risk there is an argument they can come back for the truth then it just takes more but more important than that what does that say about our country that we allow these people to leave the u.k. to leave to leave europe go to syria to fight alongside the islamic state that has devastated syria iraq kill thousands of young boys and men in ditches as a one thousand dollars dillinger's across the mesa but was also about the u.k. or the us that they would strip citizenship from these people the u.k. is strips of the ship from should be a big a on the grounds that she is the daughter of bangladeshi immigrants to the u.k. that seems to a lot of people to be racist you don't stripping citizenship from white isis

fighters only from the brown ones well that's not true it hasn't been stripped of his citizenship yet but there's one young man so-called jihadi jack jack let's he is liable to have his citizenship renewed since he is also a citizen of canada hasn't got a lot of that of any other country she was born of brought up in the u.k. she's raised in the u.k. she the citizen of the u.k. shouldn't she therefore be tried in the u.k. under the rights that she has a citizen but under british law you can have your citizenship removed if your parents are from a remote but that's not a country or if you're going to from another country but if your parents are not from another country you can't have your for them to rule that is a double standard based on immigrant status many would say that's racist to me for british law but just because i disagree that i really don't exist. if i can just as jack to. see if i can do that so i think until this i'd like to make a point first of all. u.k.

foreign minister does want. to strip her of citizenship because he says that she is a citizen of bangladesh both both her share self and the government of bangladesh has said she is not a citizen of bangladesh so effectively she would be stripped of her citizenship and we cannot render any person stateless the second is that we cannot deny a person's right to return to their country of origin which as you know assad in syria is doing to refugees who want to come home it's against international law it's against the geneva conventions the other thing is that we have an obligation to follow the principles of humanity and we have to act humanely in an armed conflict to there's. a lot of these people boom proudly so that is such a good point and i do that is such an important point because what a lot of people who are against the idea of repatriation are saying is exactly what you just said these people were revoked of their own right to be citizens of our

countries they burned their passports they left they want to fight us and destroy our civilizations yes that is what isis wanted to do that is not what we do as western states that is not who we are that is not who the united states is it's not with the united kingdom is we don't abide by the standards that isis set so we follow our own law we follow international law because the worst thing to do right now is after working so hard and spending so much money blood and treasure to defeat isis militarily it's to give them that propaganda victory that moral victory to let them know that they made us walk away from our friends and our values the only thing that i would say is that she is coming and she's lost her liberty she's and i present company on syria the british government has taken the view that she's a threat to the u.k. that she has. parents citizenship is not an automatic rights. and she has been stripped of us as chair and national returned to our families country

for drug. to make any sense that is not a home base so you keep repeating it what do you mean bangladesh is i have not heard of montreal are experiencing a very for not. just me. but that's not that's not the same so in the in the united states if you are born in the us you are a citizen of the us if you are born in the u.k. under british law that doesn't automatically mean that your apartment citizen. says that you have a right to be implications and she will just punish you as a british something that was stripped jasmine let me ask you this day and talk about quote unquote deal radicalisation are you saying that they should be brought back and rehabilitated or brought back and punished. i'm just saying they should be brought back and put under trial and determined whether they were actually a criminal and a threat in which case we should prosecute them to the fullest extent of our laws or if they were deemed to be ideologically sort of straying and want to go to the

islamic state just to live under islamic law then they should be rehabilitated my point mehdi is an important one here because i want to challenge the premise that we are allowing them to come back and just wander in the streets and hang out at starbucks and pose a threat to our societies that's not what i'm saying these western countries including the u.k. have the capabilities to bring them back put them under trial under criminal laws in those countries which wasn't easy to really prosecute i think fourteen of the four hundred people have come back. to prosecute these people in the. park ok but what it's not easy it's not easy but it's not him but it's not easy but it's not impossible we have laws on the books the alternative to bringing them back and trying them however difficult it is is to let them stay in syria and iraq potentially becoming more radicalized and posing a greater risk to us in the future in a place where we can't control them or account for them already radicalized doesn't mean a good model makes a good food we'll have to leave it there thank you both for joining me tonight from

thailand crowns its new king two years after inherited the throne. and the scientific secrets which may be lurking in. the world's deepest lake and what they could mean for. the sport at the olympics. ready to race in kentucky but america's big weekend is over. drugs and. welcome to the program israeli airstrikes have hit gaza after palestinian fighters fahd rockets into israel israeli military commanders say at least one hundred fifty rockets were launched from the territory the ministry of health in gaza says at least one palestinian has been killed but israel says palestinian rockets targeted at least a dozen areas some reaching as far as the town of big money that's around twenty

kilometers from gaza to casualties in israel have been reported warplanes and artillery hit the palestinian territory including gaza city. and we'll have a force that joins us live now from west jerusalem harry so we understand that more rockets have now been fired just bring us up to date with the latest situation on the ground. well that's right yes the this military escalation continues the israeli military is saying that more than one hundred fifty rockets have been fired out of gaza throughout the course of the day in the last few minutes these are military is saying that among the targets that it struck it's been striking it says both islamic jihad and hamas targets inside gaza was a tunnel which it said work had been accelerating on recently an islamic jihad tunnel it says and so this is a continuing escalation. very much on the israeli side as well as this very large barrels of rockets that we've seen coming out being fired by the fighting factions

inside gaza two israeli injuries that have been confirmed by the israeli authorities so far one a woman who was struck by shut shrapnel and was seriously injured in as a serious but stable condition apparently another man injured in the town of ashkelon on the palestinian side so far still just one cash one death reported by the gaza health ministry so far today all of the israeli military says that it may well have killed more than knotted it estimates and of course there were two hamas . brigades fighters who were killed in an attack by israeli forces on friday that coming after a sniper attack on israeli soldiers were injured two soldiers and two of the palestinian protesters on the border on friday who was shot and killed by israeli snipers with fifty others injured and how do we understand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is meeting his security advisers in tel aviv can you

expect anything from that meeting. well the thing concrete as yet but i think what we can interpret and we should also say that he's also planning to convene a full security cabinet meeting on sunday i think what we can see from the response so far is that it is a pretty major one from the israeli side but that it perhaps is being calibrated as they have been in the past we've seen a lot of these military escalations in recent months from the course of twenty eighteen and of course now in twenty nine thousand there was one just a month ago and so far both sides have been able to just about manage to pull back from a full escalation towards a full conflict of course the most recent one came just before the israeli election and it was staved off really by israeli commitments understood to have been made in talks both to extend the fishing zone in inside gaza allow more cattery funding to

come into gaza and ease other economic restrictions and make other sort of improvements to daily life inside gaza so far the only real fruit of that has been the extent of fishing zone which in the light of all this has been reduced right back to zero along with the crossings of erez and carry kerem shalom being closed as well the first payment of forty million us dollars from gaza has not come through how much blames israel for that delay and there be no other easing of the restrictions either so it may well be that hamas and islamic jihad feel that this time right now in the run up to both the israeli independence day known as not by the catastrophe of palestinians and a major international event in tel aviv the your vision song contest on the eighteenth of may this is a time to try to see if it can get israel to follow through or make further such undertakings of course it's always an extremely tricky and risky business. even

though both sides have come through the sort of escalations and deescalated recently. once the military operations are underway and if it can happen and they can develop a momentum of their own right to have a force that they in western the maori thank you for that. saddam is a professor of political science at al azhar university in gaza he says israel has not committed to past agreements that were brokered by gyptian mediation it's the israeli government who has not implemented the latest understanding's or the good note of quiet understandings between israel and hamas which were brokered by the egyptians before is what he did which were killed on april ninth last month and also the israeli yesterday killed the three palestinians one of them is a palestinian civilian who was put this thing along the borders between gaza and israel and when i say timing is important it means that i have mass and other

palestinian resistance to go oops i believe that this is the right timing to put more pressure on not than you know on this way to government to make israel abide by the previous understanding's timing is very sensitive israel is approaching its seventy first and independence day and also there univision festivities which are supposed to be held in tel aviv in may fifteenth of this month and definitely israel would not skim it further with the palestinians at least until independence day and. festivities that's why the palestinians are pushing further to make its way and make more concessions anthemic also israel to abide by the previous understanding's well let's bring in our end in tel aviv he's an analyst an israeli defense on government affairs. so another military escalation between israel and gaza we know that israeli forces killed four palestinians in

separate incidents yesterday so how significant is this latest escalation how serious could it be. there are two basic trends here which one should superimpose on the calendar which you already cited regarding what is happening over the next couple of weeks the first trend is that yes indeed there are a negotiations regarding a de facto arrangement between hamas and israel being conducted in cairo. egypt sion and the un mediation this is the good news the bad news the second trend is that there while hamas has become relatively moderate under the leadership of you here soon why are police doing an islamic jihad which is a smaller but more militant group guided by iran is now drawing be reluctant hamas into confrontation with israel and according to be

israeli narrative what happened last night friday was that out of some peaceful demonstrations came a sniper who bed leewood an officer and another soldier and then it is roca how the eight did so this was not preplanned by hamas but hamas join k b. b slimy jihad i mean so what about the timing of this i mean because israel as we were saying earlier to our correspondent israel has seven major has several major events coming up independence day and the euro vision song contest will netanyahu be under pressure not to cancel these despite the security situation. well if push comes to shove the contest will be cancelled because obviously life. dearer than. television shows with all due

respect to the medium in which we are now meeting but netanyahu has another problem he's yet to form his cabinet the election is over but coalition talks are ongoing. still difficult and the security cabinet which was mentioned earlier still carries on ministers from be a form of government who are not elected such a sudden a fairly bennett and other check ahead and they are going to precedent for much harsher measures which is one reason why you didn't call them in today saturday but rather put it off until tomorrow obviously hoping that by tomorrow it will all be over let me just take you back to a point that you made earlier because we know that hamas and islamic jihad officials have been in egypt talking to mediate has to try to revive a flagging ceasefire with israel how is that likely to play out i mean i mean can it gyptian prevent a further escalation in the violence. the gyptian so

obviously have a lot of leverage over whoever controls gaza they control the only real opening go to gaza at roughly a crossing and they are of course. deadly enemies of the muslim brotherhood who are in cahoots with hamas but there is a limit to what the options can do because hamas seems spiralis to suppress what the slimy jihad has been doing and this brings into question the variability off any arrangement israel could reach with hamas because he's not going to impose its will on be other factions in gaza the result leon he was in it ok i'm here and we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for your time thank you now the syrian government has stepped up airstrikes on a rebel held it lit province killing at least twenty two people heavy shelling

forced evacuation of the city's university on thursday schools and residential neighborhoods in the town of were hit in what the u.n. described as the worst by a bombing campaign in fifteen months in libya's designated a deescalation zone under an agreement between russia and turkey let's bring in a hike of the men in beirut he's the project director for iraq syria and lebanon but the international crisis group. the assad regime backed by russia is clearly escalating its military operations across northwest syria in places like it was the reason why we're seeing these increased strikes by the russians was i mean this has been going on for a couple of days now an. obvious way back. we've seen that from both sides we've seen some of the media radical factions. actually launching missiles at bases maybe so it's coming from.
