took office on tuesday and promised a new approach to migrant reception prime minister giuseppe said on thursday that several countries had agreed to take in the rescued migrants paul brennan reports. the news brought tangible relief to ocean viking after nearly a week in limbo just heard. the sign and place of safety. it's wrong to spontaneous celebration among the rescued migrants infer that we're very happy about the news this is amazing we're going to arrive in a place people understand and listen to us they're happy to learn that we have to some. it's all these new prime minister become to has been in power just

a week the country since a left coalition government supports a more humane approach. than the hardline closed ports policy of the previous interior minister matteo salvini but ministers insist that does not mean it's only now has an open door policy. i believe is a big misunderstanding about the safe port given to ocean viking it was assigned to ports simply because the e.u. stuck to our request to take the majority of the microbes it must be clear that already is to ensure that those who arrive in italy or redistributed to other european countries but that hasn't stopped salvini from criticizing we have to report the redistributions in europe are just words because i am still waiting for the other european countries to take a few 1000 of those they have already promised to take so this is a surrender obviously one of contest promises to europe was that it really would return to being a refugee camp. back on board the grounds are already planning where they might be

a transport strike in paris on friday. palestinian israelis are being called on to vote and grace the numbers on tuesday in their national election that's after just half of them turned out to voters in the previous polls in april a leading palestinian israeli politician says it's time for palestinians to engage more fully in the political system perhaps even join a coalition government it's an unprecedented call and one that's provoked strong responses as harry forsett reports. big days left in the election campaign a clash over race voting in hidden cameras came to a head in the israeli parliament. you are a liar shouted knesset member i'm an hors de confronting israel's prime minister with a camera phone benjamin netanyahu had been trying unsuccessfully to force through last minute legislation allowing party activists to film inside polling stations palestinian israeli politicians saw that as an attempt to intimidate voters in arab

areas. but in this election i'm an order isn't just taking on what he calls netanyahu is racist campaign he's confronting a long held within palestinian israeli politics saying he would be prepared to be the 1st leader to take his grouping of mainly palestinian parties into israeli coalition government albeit with conditions that make it unlikely in the near future that you know that. we have a great influence on who will form the government if you put aside the arab vote netanyahu will be the pm if you include the arab vote then there are other scenarios. other members of his alliance have distanced themselves from his message but a recent poll suggests nearly 80 percent of palestinian israelis are in favor of either joining a coalition government or supporting one within the knesset nobody ever expected an arab politician to say it and the reason is for all sorts of historic internal debates among the arab palestinian citizens and israel there's been a very ambivalent feeling to what extent the parties should legitimize the israeli

government to what extent being part of the israeli government puts them in a position where they would have to give up on very significant principles in april's elections the turnout among palestinian israelis was down to a new low 50 percent so with this idea of more active political engagement lift that number. and voting is a very positive step people here don't do it and if you don't vote our vote goes to rival parties but i am against arab parties joining an israeli government. it's good if they join a left wing government not a right wing races government that works against arabs the palestinian citizens of israel there is a level of support for the idea of engaging in coalition government in the future but the palestinian israeli politicians they say the vital thing is that their electorate comes out and votes in greater numbers than they have before to have any chance of bringing down the administration of benjamin netanyahu netanyahu is him so if using or days starts to warn voters of the suppose

a danger in supporting the main opposition led by benny gantz and yeah i like pete will be me at the head of the likud or will it be the period and guns at the head of a leftist government that will include a move to be and i mean as minister of their government those politicians say no and you know who is trying to diligent in my eyes palestinian israelis in gauge meant in national politics the question is whether this time it might inspire them instead to engage more our aforesaid al jazeera israel. west african leaders have pledged a 1000000000 dollars to fight armed groups an emergency summit has been held and back in a faster to discuss growing threats from groups linked to al qaeda and i still catherine so i have the latest from. a moment of silence for 29 people who were killed in 2 separate attacks in northen book enough last week one of the attacks happened at a location where all just 0 was filming just a day alia a minibus carrying civilians drove over

southern parts of the philippines see this china of cloud that pushes up with a developing tropical feature that we have in the western side of the pacific the wetter weather is now making its way up towards lose on for sunday and we go on into monday will not a little further north has but much of luzon will be part of the philippines will see some very nasty outbreaks a very heavy rain over the next couple of days some very heavy rain continuing to weigh into the northern plains all of india some parts could see maybe 400 millimeters of rain over the next couple of days that right it's making its way north east. the weather sponsored by catherine. if you're in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships when miss somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world college chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like

again i'm mr. a reminder of our top stories this hour u.s. secretary of state has accused iran of direct involvement in saturday's drone strikes on some of saudi arabia's most vital oil facilities he's accused of fake diplomacy and of launching an unprecedented attack on the global energy supply but yemen's truthy rebels have claimed responsibility for those attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities saudi arabia has been forced to cut its oil production by $5700000.00 barrels per day that's around hof of its usual altos. aid is pouring into the bahamas as the country is still assessing the full extent of the damage caused by hurricane dorian tropical storm humberto has now moved away from the islands heavy rainfall is hindering rescue efforts. well that's now return to our top story those drone attacks on saudi arabia's oil facilities

yemen's who thier rebels have been using drones and combat this small cheap to produce and capable of evading brage all systems the ruthie's of use drones to avoid saudi arabia's patriot missile defense systems allowing the rebels to fire ballistic missiles into the kingdom unchallenged saudi's vast oil fields and pipeline network have been a prime target saturday's strike on the cake facility has been the most the largest and daring to date and the rebels technology is becoming more sophisticated with their drones now able to reach targets in most of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. well earlier we spoke to brett volek of it choose a military drone expert and a former u.s. army special operations member he says saudi arabia just isn't prepared to deal with such attacks. drone strikes in this case hit deeper into saudi territory than previous strikes and that takes incredible sophistication it's very interesting that you know this attack happened with that level of sophistication that we

haven't seen before while we don't know the exact type of drone in the attack we can look at previous who's the strikes to point to drones of iranian origin and specifically a drone known as the cost if one because if one was created by the iranians and provided to do these back in 2015 but what is interesting about it is publicly the range of that drone is only known to be up to 150 kilometers we're talking about a location that was over 500 kilometers which means that they're getting additional help in some way from the iranians to be able to push the range of this particular drone that is basically used meant to be a suicide attack type of drone the problem is that they assumed that they were vulnerable i mean that's they're looking at intelligence indicating that potentially the drones can't reach that location there and they're not implementing what is known as counter drone technology which is technology that's available today to be able to detect and identify even automatically destroy these drones

before they're able to hit these pieces of critical infrastructures more of these critical facilities like this one need to start implementing an attack especially if we're talking about a situation now where half of the saudi's oil production is being stopped because of it i mean that is has wide ranging economic consequences that far surpassed just the physical damage. a new school year has begun in yemen well behind sched jewel millions of children have been deprived of an education and more than 300 schools have been damaged or destroyed since the war began who the rebels are accused of making children as young as 6 recite pledges of allegiance before classes. spoke to students and teachers in the capital sanaa. students of the capital sanaa started there is called here of 20192020 spider of the war. that their country is going through. that often they keep telling us do not go

there airstrikes and aggression especially in areas near the school but our family and school teachers keep encouraging us to come. back an explosion happened in an area very close to the school we were asked by teachers to go to the basement the teachers kept searching inside the building for other schoolmates not fearing for their lives as. we are now starting the 1st school year since the beginning of the saudi aggression on our country most of the educational infrastructure has been destroyed they have been many direct attacks on schools teachers and students and who could forget the merciless attack on the school bus of. in more than one occasion students and schools have been attacked but these students are determined to continue their education. after the relocation all the central bank of yemen to aden many teachers have been deprived from their monthly salary.

in there. even though we haven't received our salaries for months and we face difficult circumstances we feel obliged to fulfil our duties as teachers we are also forced to work in more than one place aside from public schools now students have been ruled now inside their classrooms hooping for better future. for see further and fruitful school year. son are. well it's now been 8 here since june as he became the only success story of the 20 levin arab spring but as the country heads for its 2nd democratic presidential election in the coming hours many voters say they are disenchanted our correspondent stephanie decker spoke to some of them and the capital tunis. for 20 years feisal has been sitting in this exact same spot in tunis is ancient medina

creating souvenirs engraved with tunisia's past but the future is far harder to hammer out militant ideas with been going downhill since 20 leven everything politicians are arguing and we pay the price what used to cost $1.00 do you know is now 10 or more used to cost team day now now it's $30.00 we ask him if he will vote in sunday's election i don't know maybe no but. he voted many times before he tells us and that's been more than enough for him he doesn't trust the politicians . 36 year old abdul harder feels the same disappointment he will go to the polling booth on sunday but in protest exemption for commercial police just i will cast a blank vote so no one else can use it many of us are not satisfied the presidential elections were brought forward by 2 months after the death of the late president 92 year old. it's the 2nd major elections to be held here 8

years after mass protests forced the ouster of strongman saying that aberdeen ben ali there are $26.00 candidates among the prime minister and defense minister a former president a couple of lawyers and even a media tycoon who is currently in prison they represent a cross-section of political social and religious ideals illusions have a lot of toys and that's a real difference from before the protests broke out here in 2011 which is in decades of single party rule tunisia is often cited as the only success story of the uprisings which swept across north africa in the middle east for 2011 but it's not that simple 1st of all i mean having. democratization process succeeding and this is happening because in the middle of the middle east and north africa this is unique this is an exception we cannot deny that at the same time what can democracy provide in terms of economic demand. that's the major challenge so it's a mixed story we meet a group of ladies in the medina they too aren't happy with what's been achieved in

the last 8 years economy security corruption the main issues everyone highlights after the revolution everything had to change but nothing has changed everything is actually worse infrastructure for instance we just had terrible floods here the economy before everything was covered up but after the revolution it's now out there for to see tunisians go to the polls on sunday if no candidate gets over 50 percent of the vote there will be a runoff in november many will tell you that is an almost certain scenario parliamentary elections will take place in october or the next 2 months could reshape the entire political landscape and determine what tunisia will look like moving forward stephanie decker al-jazeera tunis u.s. president donald trump has acknowledged the death of former al qaeda leader osama bin laden's son hands or for the 1st time he was reportedly killed in a counterterrorism operation on the afghan pakistan border hamza bin laden was

a prominent al qaeda figure who had been groomed by his father osama to lead the group afghan security forces have broken up what they say was an eyesore cell and kabul responsible for a series of suicide bombings including last month's wedding attack now 3 men have been arrested but there are concerns that other groups may be waiting to be activated tony betty reports these 3 men are what afghan security forces say were part of an eyesore terrorist cell that's been busting kabul it's claimed they're responsible for 29 dead the attacks in the capital. they're been recruiting from very from the educated society the. young educated youth and they've been very savvy went to quality and even the ability to to to plan and launch attacks they have valid a lot of innocent blood on their hand so it was

a huge huge bust the hunt for eisel or die as it's called locally is not easy for the security forces the group has become more sophisticated and difficult to track down it is a relative newcomer to the afghan conflict but is making its presence felt with a string of attacks and suicide bombings. this is one of their biggest a few weeks ago the target was a shia wedding reception in kabul more than 60 people were killed and 180 injured the largely home base group is relatively small in number but it is developing and expanding into more areas. the people who are fighting in the name of the they're all old hard core taliban who support it are trying taliban and they are supported from some elements from outside but the afghan army believes that as i saw fighters are driven out of syria some are making their way to remote areas of afghanistan but also that i saw ranks will swell with disaffected taliban fighters that oppose

a peace deal. the cornerstone for the us of any peace agreement is that the taliban agrees to prevent any group from using afghanistan as a base to launch attacks on the us in the west taliban nor matter how the guarantee they cannot fight on their own with support of the government support of the army and support of the international community but that's probably a long way in the future if the attacks in afghanistan now that frighten people abdul-latif knows the pain eisel can inflict his youngest son abdul jamil was a musician who was killed in the car will wedding hall bombing. them they are against humanity they're not muslims and nothing about our religion allows you to go and blow someone up this was not a military police this was just a betting party breaking up this group has been a big success for the security forces but there has been some concern and surprise that it took so long to catch them and there are worries that there may be further

isolate cells waiting to be activated it is clear that when afghanistan eventually a cheese piece i saw will still be a big problem that will be difficult to solve tony berty al jazeera kabul. now fights have broken out in hong kong as political rivals traded blows in a shopping mall video posted online showed groups of men many waving chinese flags attacking people they thought were pro-democracy protesters hong kong has been gripped by weeks of sometimes violent demonstrations against beijing's influence correspondent tamara underground was at an anti-government rally in central hong kong. the political turmoil here in hong kong is well into its 3rd month now and despite growing police crackdown and violence in the streets there seems to be no signs of protesters are growing slow down here i don't heading for a place right at the center of hong kong is this strict secondary students who are
