likud ministers to throw nets now over the edge that may happen but i think the fact that he gave nothing out of the 1st crack at creating a government is. both good and bad it's sort of there is nothing i would be able to put something together that everybody kind of suspects is impossible but at the same time in going back to netanyahu has 9 lives it's impossible to count him out. firefighters in the french city of strong are trying to put out a fire at a chemical factory the blaze at the libbers old plant broke out in the early hours of thursday in the port city of all people in several surrounding communities have been asked to stay at home and some schools have been closed. and still ahead. we'll tell you what challenge embattled british prime minister boris johnson has set before the opposition. after more airstrikes on yemen the world and with these

a result consequently the atmosphere inside parliament became furious that it was. to death threats and appears. like that tell the prime minister that. this month's . try out. of iraq and keep it. moderate allawi it has to come from the prime minister blair's turn to make matters worse junction described those concerns about m.p. safety as the all in all it was the most angry parliamentary session anyone can remember the government accuses the opposition of running away from an election they say he broke the law over suspending parliament and fear he might do it again to the sense of democracy unraveling the whole thing is a horror show lawrence li al jazeera london. who say their offer to end hostilities with saudi arabia still stands despite reason airstrikes on yemen that killed civilians there were these claimed responsibility for attacks inside these oil

urgent problems of the country us version of all i promise not to answer political violence with violence but to answer with dialogue but after many attempts we've seen the house or senate isn't able to complete its constitutional duties a series of mass shootings in the u.s. have pushed democrats in congress to call for a bill on gun restrictions including a possible ban on assault style weapons but while the majority of americans support the move it's unlikely to become law how does joe castro has this report from washington the death of a 24 year old mother shot with an a k $47.00 style rifle at an el paso wal-mart in august was explained by the surgeon who tried and failed to save her life she was protecting a child and so she was actually shot in the back and through a shoulder she had this hole the size of a baseball at the top of her lungs so clearly investors were essentially

nonexistent if this injury had been caused by a small fire she may have had a chance of survival but there's absolutely nothing i could do to fix that kind interested in injury. wednesday's hearing before the house judiciary committee was meant to build support for a possible nationwide ban on assault weapons the firearms of choice of mass shooters in the us they have no purpose but to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible i want killers to rapidly repeatedly fire bullets at their human targets without stopping to reload so our weapons are designed for maximum bloodshed assault weapons were banned in the us between 19942004 today an estimated 16000000 such weapons are in circulation within the country recent polling shows that between 56 and 70 percent of americans want congress to ban assault. protestors against gun violence have regularly descended on the nation's

capital to urge lawmakers to take action. i want them to know that if they don't take action while i was going to be out was there to be at stake they were going to die it is the epidemic that we had to get really have to figure out we have to just and right now but a ban on assault weapons is still unlikely republicans who control the senate have bulked at more moderate measures like expanding background checks for gun buyers the powerful gun lobby has argued for focusing on mental health instead it is very clear when you look at mass public shooters what you see is much higher rates of untreated serious mental illness and there's the matter of the sheer number of guns in americans hands nearly half of all the guns in the world that's a fundamental difference between the u.s. and new zealand a country that rapidly responded to the christ church mass shooting by restricting gun sales and buying back weapons but in the u.s.

where the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the constitution a mandatory gun buyback would be highly controversial with some gun owners valuing they would never comply heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. hundreds of malaysian students are being flown off the island of sumatra in indonesia over health concerns caused by toxic haze the sit ins attend a university with tourists shut down when a state of emergency was declared in riyadh province air quality has worsened as thousands of forest fires burned across indonesia. some of the world's top athletes are in qatar for the world championships which kick off on friday the pressure is on for gisors to keep all of those who are participating in core the majority of the events will be held in a stadium with cooling technology a computer competitors and track and field world just have to take on the high temperatures and humidity levels and they were just in reports. track and field is

a challenge so we will watch all those metrics we do have extra precautions we do have extra stuff out on the course more medical support more water but yes it is going to be tough. probably a very different feel for the majority of events and any cooling system inside the main khalifa stadium will ensure the temperature hovers at around 25 degrees celsius and i know there was a lot of talk before coming here whether or not it was smart to do that i mean if it was great i think it's just going to make for the fact that they can control the temperature in the stadium which is unbelievable i had the privilege of racing here before and i've got the cooling system and i actually loved it another sprint i don't think it a bit of actors as much but i'm definitely happy that my parents were. heated to paint that won't be repeated at the football world cup the 2022 tournament will be held in the 4 cool months of november and december and the

the one that didn't have any 1st. or 1st rate or. second tier information from what i understand you have to figure that out for yourself. but i've spoken with leader kevin mccarthy and the republicans many of them. and we were going to do this anyway but i've informed them. all of the house members that i fully support transparency on the so-called whistleblower information the trump administration has barred senior iranian government officials from entering the u.s. that ban came on the same day president hassan rouhani addressed the u.n. general assembly and his speech writing ruled out negotiations a nuclear program as long as american sanctions stay in place they also accuse the u.s. of the economic terrorism israel's president has been in that in the out to try and

form a new government a prime minister so has no clear path to fit after emerging from the september 17th rerun election without a majority he now has up to 6 weeks to form a coalition. and britain's prime minister says he won't ask for an extension to bragg's it that's despite of and new law that requires him to do so boris johnson is also challenging opposition parties to call a motion of no confidence in him that could lead to a general election he's facing calls to resign since the supreme court ruled his decision to spend parliament illegal. and fighting has broken out between supporters of malawi's government and opposition groups in the financial capital blantyre hundreds of people were calling for the head of the electoral commission to resign when the situation turned violent have been protesting against the reelection of the president peter once a week in may well those other headlines

a lot more news but up next it's the stream to stay with us. every. conditions for rainbow refugees continue to the terror right they face an untenable feature in overcrowded bangladesh but it's still too unsafe to go home to me i'm all i said and i'm here in the stream joined us in our live you tube chat on twitter. i have covered. i have covered violence throughout my career but i have never heard of anything like that happening to human beings. the

time i arrived to the camps it was unlike anything i've experienced before it was pain and misery and trauma in a school so large that it was almost unfathomable even for somebody who was seeing it right in front of their eyes it's a place that isn't equipped to deal doesn't have the infrastructure it doesn't have the sanitation it doesn't have you know the sort of facilities that that amount of people. just a glimpse of what life is like for the 1200000 rectangle refugees coming in living in bangladesh this small things became even worse many migrants lost the only lifeline to the world where the government blocked mobile phone access in the camps the move was apparently for security reasons but the waiting the worry it's just another sign that they've outworn their welcome overwhelmed by the refugee crisis

bangladesh has tried and failed to send the wrong in the back to me and mark twice in the past year but refugees have refused fearing renewed violence at home just last week the united nations warned that genocidal conditions unquote still remain in myanmar and its urged the government to do more to improve conditions. lacking international pressure the mostly but his country of mia mom has done little to welcome the muslim rain go home meanwhile bangladesh is planning to relocate some refugees to remote flood prone island in the next few months and officials have made it quite clear that they can't play host much longer so what will happen to their hang their people well joining us to discuss is mohammed senior correspondent for al-jazeera english he speaks to us from doha qatar we also have a need to show head of women and children's affairs for the european council and he joins us from the brook in germany and finally roman a son when they sign is the coordinator of the campaign

a media relations at the coalition and he's come in frankfurt germany we also invited several fishel from bangladesh and miramar to join the program but none of them were available guess it is good to have you thank you for your time i want to start here with a comment from bangladesh's foreign minister he says we are willing to send them anywhere to anyone who wants to take them we cannot afford to keep them for years then being the mohammed you were reporting at the end of 2018 from cox's bazaar where so many of the remainder are actually there in refugee camps does this indicate a sense that bangladesh is it is also it is tired it has no more time for handling the rehang a crisis and the refugee situation. it certainly does femi and you know we're starting to hear more of this type of rhetoric from bangladesh officials look bangladesh it's a difficult situation for them because the country is really polarized when it

comes to this issue and there are many people in bangladesh that will ardently support their anger and the country has been quite generous already to refugees but there are also many in the country that do not support refugees and would like to see them gone so the fact that this rhetoric has been ratcheting up that we it's been reported at least in bangladeshi media the last month or so that they're actually beneficial that have said that if their anger don't want to leave that they're going to actively make conditions more difficult for them in the camps which is hard to imagine because you know i've been to those camps 4 separate times and the conditions are appalling i mean they're much improved to where they were a few years as ago but they're still terrible conditions so when you hear that it certainly looks like the bomb that as she's are now really sort of running out of patience with the situation and trying to figure out what to do about it the problem for them is that every time they go down the route of these 3 patriae sion schemes they have to involve the u.n.h.c.r. the refugee agency so when there are bangladesh's government agrees with me in

march government that there is going to be repatriated averring backed me and more well the u.n.h.c.r. the refugee agency has to then go and interview the people that are wrong but 'd really be repatriated and every time the un has done that everybody that they've spoken with has said they do not want to go back and can you blame them the u.n. has repeatedly said that conditions are still not safe on the ground in myanmar for any kind of return that range will not be guaranteed in east is a ship right or freedom of movement and just last week as you mentioned a few moments ago a u.n. fact finding mission independent investigator said that 600000 remained in myanmar still live under the threat of genocide so it's a very difficult situation for bangladesh it's a very very difficult situation for the refugees and human. it appears that the bangladeshi government is running out of patience i think that that is something our audience but completely agree with so we posited this to them this headline that bangladesh's prime minister has proposed relocating thousands of refugees to

a remote island in the bay of bengal here's what gordon had to say about data member of our community sounds like she is trying to get rid of them the she being shaped has seen or why not integrate them into society and need i'll give this one to you the idea of trying to get rid of them is that how you see this is this trying to make conditions so harsh for refugees that they want to leave. 1st of all i would like to mention to the public. we are very grateful all the ring of people are grateful for saving our lives but the conditions what we are facing in the camps are also not worthy as dignified life we want to return home but you have to help. relocating us from one camp to bush and charlotte is not part of the durable solution pushing us back to was. to do a hand to the very hands of the perpetrators who committed genocide against our

community is not part of the durable solution that's why the international community what it has to do it cannot just simply carry on seeing dignified voluntary and safe return for the one yes it has to act upon it has to pressure the government of myanmar to create conditions all still but under this government cannot simply restrict our movements take over our lifetimes like the mobile phones but instead of that it has to refer me m r 2 to international criminal court or bring the corporate traitors of genocide to i.c.c. this is what this government can do that is part of the durable solution fight for our rights that we get our rights back in your mar as well as those we are at any time ready to return and i am here i want to show our audience what i need to means by this idea of drop paying some of the refugees off at another location have

a look here on my laptop i know you really know this but for the benefit of our viewers this is where 1200000 refugees are this is bus and charter and need to mentioned and i'm a leak or so put up this tiny little island here the idea is that the refugees are relocated i understand they're not going to be forced to move there but this is what the accommodation will look like when they get there and the options are because there is a lake that they can fish but that's about it in a sand when you heard about that as a plan as a way to address the situation in cox's bazaar what do you make of that it's happening. you know them but by the foreign minister had a interview with fairly german media recently he said do you know they are going to fold $100.00 in refugee to send char but that they said you know they are not going to force anyone but they have made it clear that that the whole of the 100000 to

that this island this island he said you know how can we how coming to that how can we force them. because you know we are we have no alternate option we have only they give us their land and they are hosting os sol. they are trying to do what they want but you know without a lot constant and on and you know they are saying well we will have to live you feel old there you know that the people can see and you don't like i live in germany i have visited many cause and tracy and can hear their memory of places well with the lifestyle law and has looked like a concentration camp and also there is no guarantee that you know these islands when it will be a decent banner from the. from there you go so it has negative debt no guarantee of utility that the lack of that this $100.00 and those who will be forcibly if you

don't get that there will still do this you know like it i would call it you know it is it killing see that killing thieves we escaped from that came from yemen now we are again going to face another killing seeing in public they age. i mean to me can i also just add to that the hit on a son his point about us i'm sure because i keep in touch with many of the refugees who i've interviewed in cox's bazaar and they are so scared about the prospect of potentially being forced to go to this island and we must put that into some kind of context here too because you have this is a population is considered to be the most or one of the most persecuted minorities in the world when they were living in me and more they were marginalized to the extreme they were persecuted for decades they didn't have freedom of movement now the ones that are in bangladesh they can't move around freely they're essentially

trapped in these camps in these very poor conditions and now they may be even further marginalized if if it does happen if it does occur that they are forced to go however many of them whether it be 100000 or 200002 this island and it's not just that they wouldn't have freedom of movement on that island you have rights groups that are said repeatedly they're concerned that these could be prison like conditions they are concerned about the weather and the effect that it would have on this island which is made out of silt off the bay of you know in the bay of bengal which is prone to flooding as you mentioned before they're saying that one of the most vulnerable populations in the world could become a lot more vulnerable if they are forced to go to the site of part of the reasons that we will have because of political well will and how what to done so far from a whole new drive which until now have had a. as you mentioned on instagram that there's a brand new report from the united nations that report was talking about the potential for voc all genocide of the rich people running at.

the u.n. reputable for human rights this is what he said just recently have a listen ma'am i has done nothing to dismantle the system of violence and present condition and the rohinton have a main rakhine live in this. same dire circumstances that they did prior to the events of august 2017 we are denied citizenship and recognition face regular violence including in the context of the ongoing conflict between the economy and get out my door neighbor to move freely and have limited little access to food health care and education livelihoods and services soni said these are some of the main reasons that they don't want to go back home they don't feel that they will be safe back home can you explain a few more reasons as to what the situation might be back home for them and why they would prefer to call it is bizarre.
