from a short distance a few months ago the damage to his arm could be permanent. we were in class when the settlers started throwing rocks and fire bombs the students started defending themselves as we were leaving the school some of the settlers were armed with weapons and sharp tools i was walking when to settle a shot at me with a life bullet that went into my arm such attacks have forced some students to study in other villages or drop out of school. miss with the. i was shocked by the declining number of students attending the school some parents say instead of losing their children to these attacks they protect them from harm and send them to labor market instead to make money. students you know what if it did at least 14 times since the beginning of the school year the legal settlements are so close it means that this school is exposed to regular attacks yet this is not the only risk palestinian students have to face. children's rights organizations say students are

being traumatized by school demolitions checkpoints and harassment this video shows 9 year old isn't it is being detained during a lesson this is really army told the children threw stones at israeli vehicles and the west bank and it says it has no choice but to interrogate and at us children believes may be involved in violence but you are not going to see attacks on schools by settlers are increasing sometimes backed by israeli forces the military law as a whole is a system of control rather than a system of justice and this is what they want they want to control in their daily life all the activities of palestinian children and adults and education is the main tool to control them hidden or if school attacks could happen and what students and teachers try to keep their school life as normal as they can in. the occupied west bank a court in hungary has ordered the arrest of the captain of

a great a hero a man who spoke out against corruption a man who challenge leaders such as the buddhist as they call laurent kabila and joseph kabila he spent decades in politics participated in several elections but he never managed to become president when joe could be refuted that down when his term ended it was the katie who led the forefront to try and convince him to leave office now all eyes will be on his side of the k b he won the election in december but it was controversial some people here believe opposition to the march of fire you won he went to court but he lost in court the judges they see that he had no case opposition critics some of them believe that perhaps some kind of deal was made with george at the beer the former president to make sure phillips of the katie becomes president and some kind of deal was made whereby we see capella still controlling some key functions the government which include parliament and senate both men deny those claims now the key thing of course is watching fillets of the k

a very talented person both trump and johnson have been critical of prime minister may's approach to brecht's it may is to step down as leader in a week's time but are staying on until her successor is chosen barker has more from london. i think it's fair to say that donald trump has a keen interest in power who has it who doesn't have it and is paying very very close attention to the leadership contest here in the u.k. and in this interview with the sun newspaper he appears to throw his weight behind the ex foreign secretary and hard line breaks a tear boris johnson saying that he would do a very good job i think he would be excellent said donald trump he also said he didn't believe the boys johnson's widely publicized extramarital affairs would stand against him in this leadership race some also some passing comments about some of the other leading contenders as well thumbs up for jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary largely because hunter said that he would spend much more in

defense something that donald trump has been insisting european governments do thumbs down though for the environment secretary michael gove another front runner in the leadership contest thumbs down for him largely after he accused donald trump of saber rattling over the u.s. is iran policy although the comments about johnson fall short of a full endorsement they are being seen as something of a bombshell intervention in british domestic politics only days away from donald trump's state visit here to the united kingdom trump was also keen to state there are other contenders in the leadership race had approached him for public support as well which is lit led to a whole raft of speculation over who those m.p.'s knew those contenders may be donald trump very much believes that he can have

80 percent from the tensions in that month of last year so the president has been getting a lot tougher and it's been noticeable on this side on people heading through and i think that's why he's saying that he thinks the united states might reassess 3 this measure in the days to come we'll have to see what the outcome is of those talks on wednesday police in the u.s. state of virginia have identified the gunman and his victims in friday's mass shooting through incredible can engineer who had worked for the city of virginia beach for 15 years shot and killed 12 of his coworkers the suspect died after a long gun battle with police it's the worst incidence of mass shooting in the u.s. so far this year the syrian government and its ally russia have reportedly bombed several rebel controlled areas in the country's northwest airstrikes have hit the city from a tied up in the western aleppo countryside and several towns and hama province

activists saying there's been bombing south. those are the headlines on al-jazeera people and power is coming up next. india's sprawling siege of government has the. exposing millions of its inhabitants range of life threatening response diseases so why is it so polluted and what if anything is being done to remedy. those born and raised in the city to

find out. delhi. a vibrant bustling metropolis with over 20000000 inhabitants the capital of a rapidly growing india expected to be the most populous city on the planet in the next decades. it's also my home i was born in delhi and i've lived most of my life but i've been away

for a few years and in that time delhi has been making the headlines for an alarming reason it's become the most polluted capital city in the world and its residents say there's snow leaving bison by the air they breathe air pollution is estimated to be the highest cause of death in india killing over a 1000000 people every year nearly 12000 people died in that lead 2017 because of the city's bad air some doctors are calling this a public health emergency. so i've come back to find out why like many big cities around the world this pollution from too much traffic and from industry but there are also specific local causes delis geographies one is another what i'm keen to know is why can't more be done to stop this i also want to hear some of those worst affected the sick and dying and those on the frontline the

levels of pollution that i it's a it's a very dangerous situation dr ivan kumar has been a lung cancer surgeon in delhi for over 30 years most of his patients used to be male smokers in their fifty's and sixty's but that's all changed when we analyzed over data last year and we follow. and the price of $5050.00 distribution between smokers and so-called nonsmokers from hardly any lady 40 percent female then age group from fifty's and sixty's we were now seeing patients in thirty's and forty's and nearly 8 percent of my patients were under 40 years of age i rarely see along with just being even when i'm operating on teenagers we are fighting big black black deposits and much of this dr kumar believes is down to the city's dirty air. the only requirement

for you to be affected by the ill effects of air pollution is that you should be breathing. to get a better sense of what that means i had back out to the streets it's early summer and the city is gearing up for national elections pollution levels are generally lower at this time of the year than in the winter. but things are still pretty bad . i've met up with ron aqsa taria who has developed an equity wanted to ring network with piety khan for and duke university to my surprise he just my attention 1st to something quite mundane the road speed thing almost like 50 micrograms off of dust which was picking up just when that activity was happening ron extra vice monitors fine particles in the air including something

called b.m. $2.00 which is smaller than the wit of human hair this tiny particle is a mighty killer it has been linked to nearly 3000000 deaths around the world in 2017 but more than half of them occurring in china and india. although the indian government disputes mortality figures to. linked to absolution b.m.p. work by one of the most harmful pollutants to humans you know it goes deeper than the body it settles in the lungs and over an extended eurasian you know it definitely caused all the respiratory problems many disorders people like i was fostered but the people who are actually doing the work they're exposed to this on an extended duration day after day. there's more to delhi's application than just to go dusted. and so we set off to take measurements around the 6 x. 7 right now we have quite a bit larger than the field $2.00 level here is higher than 60 in the last 24 hour

standard how much of a problem is that if you know. the rate of actually call them or $30.00 to $35.00 but friend of belief would you break up going over the top unless it is regulated to keep going. with around $10000000.00 vehicles fighting for space in dallas crowded streets it's unavoidable and sadly ironic that among those in the news them are some of the victims of the city's policing crisis. i'm a 26 year old new delhi resident about 6 months ago i got diagnosed with stage 4 met a static lung cancer. priyanka jin is a digital marketing consultant an only child she lives with her mother in south delhi the right lung is completely damaged the cancer has spread so much that it's just not visible on extra hazards less than

a year ago she used to drive for an hour and a half one way to get to her office nearly 25 kilometers away. now many of her journeys to and from the hospital the city's evolution has been a significant contribution to my health issue it was very very difficult because i was you know working i was living my daily life i was happy and then all of a sudden i started experiencing these breathing issues i would go breathless and then one day i was hospitalized i still feel that. i'm not sure if i would even make it for the new year and i don't know how many how many days do i have. any of think about it is pretty evident that she's too young to

have any cancer at all and then to have a longer answer which is classically related to smoking is almost impossible because priyanka as dr need patients out again has been on colleges in delhi for the past 7 years he's noticed a rise in the lung cancer among his patients we used to talk about smoking go back every day for 25 years causes cancer say 46 so it's quite obvious that that may not be the reason that comes to chemical industries somebody who's exposed well she's not exposed to that i then you start thinking of family history she doesn't have the idea that you have to stop a. pollution actually be your reasons for a cancer somebody guard young there's enough evidence in the world that pollution can do that i really wonder if that was the main cord to betray factor if so then

it could be in accord with the latest state of global air report on air quality and health it states that 33 percent of lung cancer deaths in india can be attributed. living in a city like delhi you're directly but heeding him in him being. when all look and serve warming chemicals not for one day an awkward order or do you been doing this for years together i can not see or stop it and say that's katie. and rhonda keeps me some more disturbing news in the past 6 months he has put monitors in 15 of. the city he's noticed high levels of police and even your hospitals in a neighborhood where i grew up. this is bad news for patients to risk of having respiratory ailments from the air that they breathe is very high for you know

places like these it is particularly more important to make sure that the air is far more cleaner. it also helps explain why we could see a lot of nebulized and mosques being sold around us people used to buy headache. pain killers buying breathing about it is which is becoming a medical equipment you know requiring still the unfortunate reality you know what is happening to the i don't doubt. it's been shown by studies that men of lung capacity in generation born and brought up in the new cities like delhi is much less than their counterparts in polluted cities. children no miss because some of the most exposed to the cities and pollution i meet them just a few kilometers away from where i live a poor community that helps clean up danny but is he clearly vulnerable to it's

dirty and. covered up go of her. name. but actually. it's a learning center run by an n.g.o.s children surprise me at the knowledge of how full eating their daily chores are but they see they have no other choice. but to. fire you must hire a leading cause of household and the indian government has made a commitment to replace the. with gas and windows and $50000000.00 homes according to official figures almost $71000000.00 have benefited from this so far but many of

the poorest communities like these have yet to be reached that. being here has made me realize that denny's apa new ssion comes from many sources big and small. it's all made worse by the city's unique job of food and atmospheric conditions but from other areas gets blown here and then gets trapped. what is surprising is that the fight for clean air was 1st spotted decades ago and partially won but experts say the gains have now been lost we cleaned out the public transport sector we cleaned up the auto rickshaws the grass polluting sector but then.
