a standstill. and stargazers around the world witnessed the rare sight of mercury zooming between the sun and. on the palestinian armed group islamic jihad says there will be no limit to its retaliation following the killing of one of its commanders. and his wife were killed an israeli airstrike on his home and gaza overnight rockets have been fired into southern israel prompting the closure of schools and some transportation services israeli military has now shut all border crossings into gaza and syrian state media are also reporting an attack near the lebanese embassy in damascus the group islamic jihad says the attack targeted the home of another of its leaders at least 2 people were killed and 6 injured let's go live to harry fawcett and west jerusalem so what else do we know about these israeli airstrikes and these targets

that they hit every. well this all began very early in the morning before dawn with an airstrike by an israeli jets the israeli military says on a building inside gaza targeting they say the very floor in which. was sleeping the palestinian health ministry inside gaza says that both he and his wife were killed in the strike israeli military is so far only confirming the death of this very senior palestinian islamic jihad commander the man that it blames for being behind a spate of rocket launches against israel in recent months the israeli military is saying that it had information that he was planning further attacks and that they had tried to communicate warnings to islamic jihad that they knew of what he was planning they had leaked his meat name to the media in recent days as well the israeli military spokesman saying obviously those warnings went unheeded and that

is why this strike took place now in response to that as you say islamic jihad is promising an unlimited response as well as that we've heard from us from our sources saying that they also will be involved in any escalation of this will be a unified response it is risking certainly a more major escalation than what we've seen in recent months the israeli military saying that it is not going back to a position of targeted killings but that did act at this time to take out this one man that it sees as a potential as a particular threat the israeli responses to the rocket fire so far have largely targeted empty areas evacuated areas so there is a suggestion that israel is trying having done this to try to draw back to some extent but these are images also saying it is prepared for several days of war or at least several days of fighting and at the say. in time they are also for the 1st

time since 2014 instructing all non-essential businesses all schools everywhere from tel aviv south to remain closed today that's the 1st time in 5 years as i say that such a big blanket warning has been issued about closing down very large parts of israel's daily life and harry what else do we know about the attack in damascus. what we know that the man targeted was yuri that he's a political leader from islamic jihad that so far there's been no as is quite often the case no claiming of this by the israelis as far as palestinian islamic jihad is concerned they say that he was not killed in this explosion at this building but that is sung was so it waiting to see what emerges or definitively on that front the other issue to raise is that of course this is

a particularly sensitive time politically here in israel for such a big military decision to have been made there has been some criticism for instance the leader of the palestinian israeli joint list group of parties has accused of being cynical using a scorched earth policy to try and stay in power as he tries to form a unity government after the 2nd inclusive election in a row many others though are rallying behind netanyahu including his main opponent benny gantz and indeed the israeli prime minister the israeli president rather saying that this is a time for unity and a time to put israel's security above all else. life and must face on very thankless some of us alone as a palestinian journalist he joins us now from gaza so what do you make of the timing of these airstrikes. right now we're just hearing bombings in the sky right now some home yeah yeah right now at this moment we hear bombings

because there are some projectiles are being shot from gaza towards the towns and the israeli. interception is in terms of sitting so bombings in the sky and people in the city living. amid the fear and waiting before for waiting for god or all of them are looking at the sky looking for about rockets and except blue jeans and also they are afraid of the same scenario had been in 2012 when the israeli jet fighters assessing it it had mass command atmel jaberi on the same time like like like now it is in the middle of november and there. there is a confrontation or a war against gaza for a days at least one palestinian people has been killed have been killed of that

time so maybe it is the same scenario the people are afraid of that and also other human issues people are afraid of facing like lack of fuel or a gas cooking gas. etc do you know. from your experience do you do you or do you really think that this type of situation might escalate to that. it could be actually the latest because of the latest statement by the joint chambre of the palestinian factions the head of the palestinian resistance committees mujahid the clear that the chumba gave instructions to the to the fight or to tag it according to them since if they've targets in israel sensitive targets it's me it means that maybe they are ok it's will will not be a hit of in areas as usual in the last couple of months or years but maybe here.

but is it in sharon or military points so it is expected to be escalated if there is no. more international. intervention to put or to tour. to care of this nation actually also people are afraid there that the israeli political crisis maybe it is one of the. reasons behind the fact that they haven't any form of government yeah because of the unity government now that is something like competition between the whole event began between decode by and if any are whole and who is go or is going to form the. government the new one after the 2nd elections and they are trying to avoid the 3rd elections and who is better who is stronger who is the man who can achieve security for israel so i think it is it could be understood that

the palestinian blood is one of the winning cards for achieving all of for forming a new government and isn't. sami abu salem palestinian journalist joining us from gaza thank you very much for your insight we appreciate it. the former bolivian president evo morales has left the country after seeking asylum in mexico but his flight has been diverted to paraguay or alice resigned on sunday after weeks of protests following his disputed reelection meanwhile the country's least behind is bracing for more violence as thousands of his supporters march towards the capital . army's conducting joint operations with police against what they call vandals are on a sanchez has more from bolivia's capital he is on his way to mexico. but at the foreign minister of mexico said that they sent a plane that belongs to the government of mexico to secure a safe passage of the former president there they have

a tradition of granting asylum is so that's what they have done with president former president they will morality and also with 20 other former government officials who have taken refuge in a residence here in the us. residents of that belong to the government of mexico no more alice was leaving we're not sure if he said this from the airplane or as he was getting on the plane said that he was thankful for the government of mexico for taking care of his life let's not forget that he's been he has tweeted in the past 24 hours resigned that there was an arrest in order against him and that police were out to get him something that many politicians that we've spoken to have completely denied that there was no order of a risk against him then morale is also said that it hurts to leave him for political reasons he's also been tweeting and saying that this is a result of

a coup to top his. regional allies as he got out of cuba. and how. they support this version through to mexico that this is a coup to top. anti-government protesters in hong kong have once again paralyzed the streets and subways of the city demonstrators litter the streets with bricks and set up barricades on kong's leader kerry land has called the protest a very selfish act a bubble some of the most violent demonstrations seen in months on monday with a protester being shot and a pro-government supporter being set on fire it is appalling joins us now from hong kong so kerry lamb has spoken twice in 2 days what it what is she saying. that's right michelle she's been twice in 2 days essentially blaming the the protesters for the disruptions that are called that are being cost in hong kong she

also said that violence in no way will help their costs in any way the government will not concede to their demands if the violent protests continue but richelle before we go into that let me talk about exactly where i am i am in the central business district this is the heart of hong kong's financial center earlier thousands of office workers were here standing shouting stand with hong kong and sorry stand with hong kong and 5 demands supporting the demands of the protesters now most of the office workers have dispersed at lunchtime is over and said what you're seeing is a gathering of the more hardcore protesters that shuts off much of the central financial district the blocked roads on either way using barricades from public property they're trying to shut down the beating heart of the city essentially which is exactly what kerry did not want to happen she said that they were trying

to minimize disruptions it's backfired so instead what you're seeing is the city center coming to a standstill. all right and again what is what is the message that kerry lamb is trying to get to the protesters as things seem to be escalating a bit. well the main message paradigm is going to the protesters is that their actions won't make any difference and the more violent they get the less likely the government will be respond to them and she also called them selfish but she also said that gave insinuated that most of hong kong to support doesn't support them and these are just a handful of radical protestors but that doesn't seem to have seemed to have resonated across the city and said what you're getting is more and more people joining the protest today's lunchtime protests you saw people that had very little to do with the movement before are now saying that they are supporting the protests that they're calling for investigations into police brutality yesterday once again

protests got out of hand and we saw some of the most violent days after police shot a young man and another for the probe aging supporter was set on fire so instead of being able to quell the situation or calmed down the people of hong kong or give any confidence that the government will be able to handle the situation it's instead of seeming to rile up the protesters and not only the protesters but every day people of hong kong who originally had did not want to be part of this movement all right to begin polling with the latest from hong kong to via thank you so ahead on al-jazeera. one battle one celebrations in chile it plans to bring bright a constitution that dates back to its military dictatorship. and fire officials in australia are warning the worst is yet to come as high winds fanned the flames.

should be health 1st so that people's views can be considered current as i said dates back to chile's pinochet era which many say excludes protections for social rights in his move was aimed at appeasing demonstrators who have been protesting against income inequality a lot america has more from santiago. the unmistakable sight and sound of the quick cheese national dance. in the same plaza where largest protests are taking place these people came to remind chileans that there are things that unite them all they feel like this is a decisive time it's making us reflect on what we are and what we want to become we need to feel empowered and also take responsibility for the solutions to these. one of them is a new constitution in nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests it's widely being seen as indispensable to pave the way to structural changes to chile's free market

system. the current constitution was imposed in 1980 under the pinochet dictatorship and. the model of the 1980 constitution hands education health social security and labor relations over to the private sector the state plays a minimal role so people are feeling abused by a constitution that instead of benefiting the collective needs tends to concentrate resources in a few hands without providing the necessary services. but other experts argue that the current constitution is not to blame rather the laws and public policies that. failed to meet people's needs. i'm not saying this is a new constitution can't improve the magna carta was a theory that will be a huge quest between people's expectations and the reality of what the constitution and can't do. after nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests it's widely being

seen as a necessary step to pave the way for structural changes to chile's free market system. for many that's no longer enough former presidential candidate alexandra de year says ping it out must call for early general elections before chile can tackle a new national charter. so discredited but we need to legitimize social changes by turning to our citizens they inevitably and this is seriously must be consulted actively and that starts by letting them choose who will represent them. the undemocratic origin of current to magna carta is indisputable like a new one will not rectify all the countries wrongs but it may be a good way to start over to boost the tarnish legitimacy of the country's democracy you see in human al-jazeera santiago america's oldest living president has been

admitted to the hospital and atlanta 95 year old jimmy carter a sutta undergo a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain from bleeding after a series of falls he served as president from 1977 to 1801 a vast area of eastern australia has been given one of the country's most serious wildfire warnings the city region has been given a catastrophic danger level for the 1st time i went on rising temperatures are fanning flames closer to sydney's outskirts the rest of new south wales and queensland are also under warning. under these sorts of conditions there is a significant amount of unpredictability instability and aggressive fire behavior and fast bred u.u. we know that under under di's of catastrophic if a fast starts and takes hold if we are not there so quickly that we can bring it under control if it tides hold we are not going to stop it we are not going to control fires under catastrophic conditions by have the ability to develop and grow

extremely quickly. and our thomas joins us now from sydney i think it's fair to say those are pretty dire words we're getting from officials. with the word they use is catastrophic and that relates not to the conditions as they will be understood in the rest of the well the i.e. but they've got some kind of catastrophic additions happening right now the catastrophic refers to the weather conditions which if a fall is a tight hold its consequences could be catastrophic because it's so windy and so hot that bottled tight control of itself but the control by authorities very very quickly and that has been the case for a 70 fires across the state of new south wales alone are you with the cools. buys the freak out of control 13 of them brought now or will they imagine sea level that means that people in the vicinity of those guys are told to hunker down and try to survive if i can because if they move if they try to flee then they're more likely

to die because they can't guarantee getting to any of the people impacted by those fires and getting on a stand up where those fires all on here are the closest one that there has been on tuesday to sydney city same time we're just seen kilometers away from sydney's hall the great chair very much within the city limits and turned off hours ago there was no fire here at school but it took hold exceptionally tossed the cold steel torches we're expecting tuesday to be a dive day that goes on top of it very very quickly had planes in the air bombing it from the air and i had thought fighters like these on the ground very fast as well we're now within what i call the 5 ground hence all of these places have made us where they stick i mean to hear but show enough 8 who all introduce you to he was at home bases his home as you saw the fought so i called to him off hours ago now pick up a story from mission well something where i heard the sirens rushing and i came out from there right at the very homey deciding i'm sorry i thought is everywhere

so the salmon the flames when they combine that with temperatures in the high thirty's which they're happy for much of dipping a little now and very high winds the wind temporarily seems to drop right now but the trouble is when that wind picks up the flames it can spread the bot very very quickly i don't talk about embers from existing 5 comply sometimes 10 kilometers ahead of what they call the fire front unlike the fire as we can feel that right now it is actually coming down on us and in that still you can still see flames of the lights is hosing down this isn't over yet is going to be a strong wind from the south as tuesday goes on across the state of new south wales as a site there are $75.00 burning in the states alone of the 50 plus in queensland to the north and right side over on the other side of australia and western australia which is a 5 hour flight from sydney to give you an idea of scale of this country the rafah is putting there as well many of the use within city limits so this really is a nationwide emergency ok and for thomas with the latest from sydney thank you.

a pretty big deal transit or mercury is cool because it just doesn't happen all that often. a transit occurs when a planet like mercury or venus process face of the sun as seen from earth. every century it only occurs for mercury 13 times there are only 2 planets between the earth and sun the last time mercury was visible crossing the solar face was in 2016 the next in 2032 transits a venus or even rarer if you missed it in 2012 and want to see it live healthily it won't happen again till 2117 for centuries when mercury transit in the sun nobody noticed because it's so small by comparison to give you an idea how small if this is the size of mercury that is the size of the sun. by watching the way planets cross the sun in our solar system scientists are able to identify new planets or exile planets in others more than 4000 exoplanets have been discovered since 1992

universes billions of years own this like human life is only so short and there's only so many things we can see in our share amount of time so for me it's like being able to see as much as bad our universe as possible and learning more about the universe by watching a pinprick of darkness crawl across the sun helps those of us here on earth understand a little better how we fit into it john hendren al jazeera chicago. take a look at the headlines right now on al-jazeera palestinian armed group islamic jihad has fired rockets into israeli territory following the killing of one of its commanders the leader and his wife were killed in an airstrike on his home in gaza israel has closed schools and some transport services along with the border crossing in to gaza the leader of islamic jihad has been targeted internet stack in syria's capital the armed group says commander. survived the attack on his home in
