let's just touch on if we can more with the reports of a targeted attack by israel on a man that they say was financing hamas for iran does this represent a change of tactics by israel because israel hasn't carried out targeted assassinations for a long time that it does actually. it is a change of tactics by the by those that it is because over the past few years actually days that ease and the pressure from different parties actually the stop targeting senior hamas leaders because they want to on the other hand how to. i mean to get more moderate in relation in the relation with the with with with these like you said but i think this time they are back to their tactics and there isn't in my opinion a change in tactics from days like these thank you very much for your insight you know if there's one person has been confirmed dead in russia after an airliner made an emergency landing in flames let's cross over to mars you now with more on that

story from our european broadcast center mari mother to you. yes that's right daryn we've been watching these images of the plane just taking off from sheremetyevo airport north of moscow been for months when a fire broke out shortly after takeoff the pilots had to then turn around and make an emergency landing with the least one of the engines on fire now there have been russian media reports saying that there were seventy eight people on board many of them were able to escape but there are reports of at least one death and between five and ten injuries those are just some of the images that we've been watching joining us now of the skype is i'm male padre he's the head of aviation at university of west london west london and a qualified aerospace engineer thank you for taking the time to speak to us what are your initial thoughts on this the plane had to make an emergency landing after a fire broke out on board obviously the cause is not clear but what are your

initial observations. just looking at the incident looking at the pictures and trying to get all the facts the actual proven facts that we know about the aircraft it's difficult to say but it appears there a fire broke out horrible the aircraft. some point within the first half an hour of the aircraft taking off. the radar images show that the aircraft took off circled moscow for a while before it attempted its emergency landing and we me we are getting a few reports that the pilots indicated that there might be radio failure to start off with. and then they indicated that there was an emergency on board it doesn't appear that the pilots communicated the emergency with the ground verbal ian i think the amount of work involved once they knew that the emergency was was taking

place would have been quite high and it looks the as if of the pilots did excrete really well in trying to land the aircraft at the airport even with the aircraft on fire it's difficult to say what could be the cause of the fire. that it's important to realize that the aircraft had. taken off very quick. there it would have been full of pilot a fuel which would have helped and of course the the pictures that we can see from the airport is the most of the back of the aircraft is on fire and that many of the passengers were evacuated from the front of the aircraft yes and i want to ask you about that because we well i don't we know yet how many crew are on board but seventy eight passengers on board the plane many of them managed to escape through the emergency exits is that feasible or like that mean is it is it your expectation there could be more fatalities but when the aircraft was certified

a couple years back apart the certification process the manufacturer has to prove that being. cross can be evacuated and with this particular aircraft iraqi it demonstrated that it could be evacuated within seventy three seconds with mechs them capacity which is about ninety five passengers so. with slightly less passengers it's perfectly possible for all the passengers to evacuate within a minute or two from the aircraft the challenge here is that with an aircraft on fire but usually isn't the fire that is the issue is the smoke that fills up within the cabin very very quickly which causes a reduction in the evacuation time for an increase in evacuation time slowing the process down a bit but the p is there are many of the passengers did evacuate it's unclear at the moment if there are any fatalities or how many of those people that survived a bit injured and to what extent. russian investigators are saying that they have

opened now an investigation they're looking at where the pilot said breached essay fuels is it could this have been mechanical failure or might it have been a human error. it is difficult to say this stage i think as part of any aircraft accident investigation the investigators have to look at every possible cause. the the the reality is that the flight data recorders will be taken from the aircraft they will be analyzed hopefully the fire that has taken place is not damaged the flight data recorders that we will be able to figure out the course very very quickly. it's unlikely that human error would have caused something like this it's more likely that it might have been mechanical failure. but it's difficult to assess at this stage what would be the cause but it does appear that the pilots were rare of the incident and that they they did their best to get the aircraft back onto the ground and back to the airport which is what they did. and

of course you know to evacuate the aircraft would have been their priority as soon as the aircraft landed of course well thank you very much for sharing your insight with us do appreciate it i know pedro head of aviation at the university of west london i will bring you more on this story a bit later on in about forty minutes time now back to darrin in doha mary and we'll see you there and thank you very much right plenty more ahead on the news hour including the u.n. finally gains humanitarian access to the to one of the worst of there is in yemen. and we'll assess the impact of the worst india in twenty years and we'll have all the support the n.b.a. champions find out why a putting james harden in a bad mood isn't a good idea that's all still to come. now the u.s. says it will increase tariffs on chinese exports president trump has announced that tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods will rise to twenty

five percent on friday john hendren joins us live now from washington d.c. john so trunk seems to be goading the chinese air what's behind all this. he is indeed there and it's a rainy sunday afternoon here in washington d.c. at the white house reporters have been told there will be no more official events for the day and that often means that the president is watching television and tweeting that seems to be what he's doing now we just tweeted again a few minutes ago saying that robert mueller the special counsel should not testify before congress but on china he did make some substantive news saying that he going to raise tariffs from ten percent to twenty five percent on two hundred billion dollars worth of items and that three hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of chinese goods that are not taxed now will be subject to tariffs so why is he doing this he's doing it because they're in the middle of negotiations the top negotiator for china is going to come to the united states this week they're going to be talking a trade deal between the u.s.

and china and this is trump's effort to ratchet up the pressure he says that china is trying to renegotiate he doesn't want that and this is his effort to shut it down with additional tariffs so the president hopes to come to an agreement he says the white house says they hope that that will happen but right now he's ratcheting up the pressure on china down yeah john so what's the likelihood them that the two sides with agreed to a trade deal that might put the towers behind them. with president trump it's often hard to tell but the white house spokeswoman sarah sanders says she does expect that trump and choosing paying will sign an agreement together after the negotiations are over whether that takes this week or even longer we don't know but trump seems to be suggesting that the u.s. is not under a lot of pressure here he portrays it is if the u.s. is actually making money on those tariffs he says these payments are partially responsible for great economic results but in fact it's not china that pays the

tariffs that come into the u.s. it is the u.s. companies that are importing those goods so general motors for instance says that tariffs on steel and aluminum cost the company a billion dollars last year and of course that gets passed on to american consumers so for the economy overall most economists believe that it would be better for those tariffs to go away especially since china is retaliating with tariffs on u.s. farm and other goods whether that will happen we may know by the end of the week all right john hendren in washington d.c. john thank you for your section of state mike pompeo says russia's government should stop intervening in venezuela compare his comments come as he's expected to meet russia's foreign minister in finland this week i'm going to meet with foreign minister lavrov in a couple of days we'll have more conversations about this the objective was very clear we want the iranians up we want the russians we want the cubans out that's also what has to take place in order for venezuelan democracy to be restored.

russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is urging the u.s. to counsel plans to oust venezuela's president. as we now see an unprecedented campaign led by the united states in order to overthrow the legitimate venezuelan government we condemn this campaign which seriously violates all the principles of international law provided by the united nations statute. joins us live now from venezuela's capital caracas to reason so we have this upcoming meeting between russia and the u.s. in symlin but in the meantime the venezuelan foreign minister met with what role are the russians lots of playing for the talks. yes we're seeing this back and forth between russia and the united states from tail saying that they want russia cuba iran out of venezuela but in the past russia has already answered back saying that in order for russia to leave venezuela them the

united states will have to leave syria first and most definitely russia is talking about the possibility of some type of dialogue that includes countries like euro why mexico that have been in a way outside the group the thirteenth of the countries involved including the united states countries like brazil and argentina that have been pushing for a changing government here in venezuela the possibilities right now for a dialogue are almost nonexistent especially because of the stance of the united states and all of it as well and oppositions so what's in for russia in all of this russia has been a crucial supporter since the government of chavez already back in the year two thousand and two after there was an attempt to who were against what chavez mostly by the opposition but also supported by the united states russia has slowly become a strategic ally for venezuela they're involved in all of truck to projects here in venezuela building two factories for kalashnikov rifles and ammunition providing

economic aid and assist. so it's a very strategic role in this country and even though most of the people we have spoken to say that this role is not wholly economic as we're seeing right now but it's also a power play out way of pressuring the united states that they're in this continent and that they're more interested in that in keeping an equal out mother in power and away from the diplomacy juries i want supplement with the opposition now i mean things didn't go quite according to plan with their latest protests so what happens next. well that's correct even opposition leader one way though has already said that i tempted uprising that happened here past tuesday that it seemed that the status quo could change here in venice well that did not work out us planned and what they're doing now is basically continue to ask people to take to the streets we saw here on the saturday

how people went out on the street very small groups of people let me tell you go out to the soldiers talk to them trying to convince them to switch sides and to support protestors on the streets but he's also asking that this sunday later today people will hold a vigil for those who died during the protests five people died during the demonstrations that happened here on april thirtieth may first but we also know that he's becoming quite desperate why though does not have another plan the military is failing to respond or not rising up in general against the government would run in a recent interview he said that if there is an option to call for the article one hundred eighty seven from the constitution that allows in a way that military intervention he would definitely consider it at the national assembly the biggest threat for why though right now is that people in a way start losing hope those who are suffering in this country of course struggling for food for medicine that won't other things in a way have their hopes risen up because of everything as being on going on in the

past few months well if he doesn't deliver that it's going to be a big big disappointment for many of the people living here. in qatar kusturica thank you for. the un's world food program says it's going to access to food aid in the yemeni port city of the data the delaying the mission for security reasons the u.n. food agency accused who the rebels of blocking access to a mill warehouse in april fifty one thousand tons of wheat had been stored at the warehouse to feed more than three million people affected by the war for a month let's bring in stephen anderson in djibouti he's the devil with becomes the representative and country director in yemen. so we understand that we have now regained access to the mills that must come as some are meet but what condition was the mill and all the great i mean when your teams finally went in. well we lost access to this mill in september of last year and the mill contains about fifty one

thousand metric tons of wheat which is to feed three point seven million people for a months we managed to first gain access despite repeated attempts in late february and at that time we could see that the grain that was remaining in the grain was in advanced stage of infestation so we've done our best to try to gain access and we've managed to insert a team there earlier today and they're going to restart the mill and try to get the fumigation under way so that we can get this food out to the people who need it most as you may know yemen is gripped with the world's largest humanitarian crisis with seventy percent of the world of the entire population considered hungry and about ten million. extremely needy and dependent on.

dense state and we know that the mail is close to the front line area so what sort of security challenges does that present. is correct that the middle is situated in the southern part of the data city and that is right next to our front line area which is pose the big challenge to us to gain access so we have we. must have. access to this mill so that we can get this food out and get it to the people who need it most so so just a final thought from stephen so where does this now leave the court's challenge of getting food as you say to the millions of yemenis who have desperately needed help and and to keep that aid flowing by having unimpeded access to these vital grain stores well food i believe that the food assistance that's

been provided in the last year and continuing this year has been critical in terms of helping to avert a famine and now we are scaling up to twelve million people a month so every bit of green that we can get and support is vitally needed at this time stephen emmerson from the world food program thank you very much indeed for talking to our jazeera time for a short break here on just when we come back. sudan's military announces plans for change but the opposition remains unconvinced. and bad news for gamers in iraq looking for a virtual escape we see where the government is banning a popular online video game. and without all the sports find out which moto g.p. writer put on a thrilling performance in front of his home crowd sort of behavior that story in the sport after the break more of the state of.

hello there we've got a lot of clouds aspiring its way across the middle east at the moment the satellite picture showing it making its way through post of iran working its way across the caspian sea there is no giving a great deal of wet weather but it is making things rather hazy picking up a fair amount of dust as well is still here loops its way across us as we head through the day on monday but breaking off a little bit as it works its way eastwards behind it there's a bit of cloud this drifting its way again over parts of turkey that will give us one or two showers particularly in the northeast and in the eastern parts as we head into cheese day for the south and across the arabian peninsula the still a fair amount of cloud that's going to stick around as we head through the day on monday rather gray rather hazy for many of us here one choose day it begins to break up we'll see the winds begin to work down from the northwest so here in doha hopefully the ash should begin to clear out a little bit so

a lot of will still be humid though here will be getting to around thirty two degrees down towards the southern parts of africa and here there's a lot of dry weather around still some showers though for the northern policies of mozambique and up into parts of thames and he is still plaguing that area that was hit by all cyclamen still flooded in some regions more showers are expected to arrive in the next few days else weather largely fine and dry except along the south coast where more clout will make it. as we embrace new technologies really do we start to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to determine if this were true on the job that investigation reveals how even the smallest devices deadly environmental and health conscious we think ok will send our you ways to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the

globe death by design on al-jazeera. we know because we know the problems that affect this part of the world very very well and that is something that we're trying to take to the rest of the world we have gone to places and reported on a story that it might take an international networks months to be able to do with united nations peacekeepers out there knowing i'm tired and old. we are challenging the forces we're challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. welcome back at work i'm out of the top stories at this hour israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is threatening to intensify as strikes on gaza the military says

more than two hundred twenty have been carried out since saturday palestinian fighters are fired hundreds of rockets into israel. gaza's health ministry says nineteen palestinians have been killed in the past twenty four hours meanwhile israeli authorities are reporting that at least four people in israel have been killed by rockets there and russian state media is reporting at least one person has been killed after a plane crash landed in moscow so the crew of the so-called jet were making an emergency landing. pope francis is being urged by campaigners to return to his homeland to deal with revelations of child sex abuse committed by roman catholic clergy two international campaign groups are in argentina to meet victims there they're also calling for clergymen valving abused move from office and prosecuted that national reports now from one of the iris. these are victims of abuse by catholic church clergy those who were found the strength to speak out to

demand justice they say there are many many more who are still too traumatized still summoning up the courage to talk. for ten years i could not speak about what had happened to me throughout my adolescence i could not put it into words i couldn't ask anyone for help. thirteen years old when he was sexually assaulted by a priest at his school he did finally manage to name his abuser who have ventured he was tried and jailed. testimonies voice. isn't stories in public stimulation energize other victims to lose the shame to feel that they can share and take a step forward but the tide he says is turning in argentina in the around the world activists from the united states are in argentina to meet victims to share experiences of a global scandal if we can cite several cases where bishops recently have refused to disclose information to prosecutors about crimes by their priests. and they

can get away with it here because they operate with legal impunity. that has to change if the church here is going to become lawful and if it's ever going to become safe for kids ninety six priests in argentina have been accused of sexual abuse but it's estimated there are hundreds more because the ham for the been prosecuted and thrown out of the church only now is the full extent of abuse in the catholic church coming into the open as more and more of these victims speak out so why they're asking is the vatican not listening to them not doing more to tackle the scourge of child abuse. the head of the roman catholic church pope francis has called the abuses ravenous wolves who must prepare for divine justice zero tolerance plank this needs to get back here early zero tolerance.

that is assault that probably. their responsibility. then message is that if he can't tackle the issue in his own country which he's not visited since he became pope in two thousand and thirteen he won't be able to deal with the scandal in the rest of the world in the meantime the voices of the abused only growing louder. when osiris well let's talk to peter saunders in london peter is the founder of the national association for people abused in childhood and peter let's talk about argentina because argentina suffered a number of high profile sexual abuse cases but the perpetrators rarely been held accountable so what do you think these two international campaign groups will find on their trip to argentina what are you hoping. well good evening baron v. i think one thing that is beyond the on down now sadly is is that the roman catholic

church the institution of the church when i say the institution i don't mean the broad people of the church i mean the people who run the church the clerics. the institution is undoubtedly the largest employer of child abusers and child rapists on the planet as an organization i think that is a dreadful dreadful indictment and it's the church that i grew up believing believing then. i still have my faith thank god but not not in the institutional church. my friends and colleagues are in argentina to stand alongside argentinean survivors who have been largely ignored in fact totally ignored by pope francis i think we're all astounded that after six years of his papacy he hasn't returned to his home country and i can't help but think that part of the

reason for that daryn is because he did very little to address this violence you these these this criminal issue when he was in the archbishop in bonnie's aires before he was elected pope so little wonder he doesn't want to go back and face his own people because in his six years in his six years of i can just finish he's been very good on words very heavy on words but completely light on on action i'm what survivors victims around the world wants and what we are putting pressure on as survivors we do not want this to happen to children and it's there are things the pope could do and he must do those now yeah it's an important point to make because many people thought the pope and the church was serious about getting to grips with the issue but there's a feeling that not enough action has been taken as you say he he still hasn't been

home d'argent tina since he became pope and that perhaps he doesn't want to face the issues so what do you think he needs to do particularly it comes to argentina. well i think he needs to go home i think he needs to go home and money i think he needs to meet with his people and i think he needs to meet with the survivors in the victims of these crimes in his in his home country but there are things that the pope i was in rome a couple of months ago in fact speaking to your colleagues in rome a couple of months ago where again there was a summit of bishops from around the world including bishops from from argentina lots of talk going on it's a commitment to to continuing to talk but actually no firm commitment to make real change in the things those two things are very simple things that the pope can do one is to change canon law he can do that the stroke of a pen to exclude as peter isley just said earlier on your on your clip to exclude permanently anybody who abuses children and anybody such as a cardinal or

a bishop or a pope who covers up for those crimes they must be excluded from the church permanently they cannot possibly have that place of privilege but equally important the church if it is serious must hand over all the information that it holds about abusers to the civil authorities and in this country in england and wales we have the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse with that is happening at the moment here in in london as you know and already the spotlight a showcase on the the many many shortcomings of the church in this country as well so it's it's a global problem darren and it needs a global response but we survivors victims are not going to go away the protection and the safety of algonquian is far too important for peter saunders thank you very much indeed for talking to us here on al-jazeera. well the cleanup after india's biggest clone in twenty years is now underway dozens of people were killed off in the extreme storm state. reports now from point where there is mounting concern

about what happens next for the people left homeless. sanyo ronnie part nyuk has lived in for thirty years making a living selling souvenirs to tourists visiting this hindu holy city when cycled funny slammed ashore her life changed forever. we lost everything we don't have money to build a house to even feed our family people have come to look at our house but no help we just want someone to help us rebuild. not far away in the village of two thousand people were brought to this school complex for shelter before the storm they were promised food in a place to stay for fifteen days. we are in big trouble we don't have a place to stay i'm staying with my family here they gave us food for two days and now want us to leave where will we go they should at least let us stay until we can

build our own shelter. and that concern about what comes next in the wake of the cycle and it is shared by many others the indian government has been congratulated on its pre storm planning preventing a large number of casualties but local communities here importing are very frustrated because the lack of post storm service is setting up several roadblocks on the main road in the town. got about but only just finished elections before the cyclon hit and we lost so much the houses in the farmers lost crops there's no help from the government no visits by offices that is why we are blocking the road. and about two hours away the bustle of a decent state capital bhubaneshwar has partly returned but worry over fuel supplies created long lines at fuel stations underlining the challenges ahead. life in no discernible take months if not years to completely return to nor. most people are well aware of that but there's early concern over how equally the funding and the rebuilding will be distributed it's got harder al-jazeera prudy india sudan's
