it's a vigils in the u.s. in support of a black man on death row for killing a white woman 20 years ago and the struggle to close the gender pay gap we're looking at how women's wages be brought to par with men. so ceasefire in gaza between israel and the group islamic jihad has broken down less than 24 hours after it began just a few hours ago in fact israeli forces bombed numerous targets in response to rocket fire fighting between the 2 sides began on tuesday after israeli forces assassinated a senior leader of islamic jihad in gaza since then 34 palestinians have been killed we'll start with this powerful sit in gaza. in the early hours of friday morning another round of airstrikes from israel targeting it said islamic jihad

sites in the gaza strip we're hearing they were largely empty training grounds and the like but some of them were close to residential areas so some damage done to people injured after what had been a day in which it was proved it was already a tenuous cease fire. the single deadliest moment in 48 hours of fighting an israeli airstrike destroyed this house in central gaza killing 8 members of the same family including 5 children the israeli army said the target was rather. an islamic jihad commander of all and cohen they gave no warning usually they do but this time they kill the whole family it's not right. a mass funeral followed 8 buried and thousands on the streets by this time the rockets and air strikes a given way to attend cease fire islamic jihad saying it had one important concessions . the deal was made by islamic jihad on behalf of all the palestinians the

conditions are to stop assassination operations protect protesters during border protests for the vital return to start implementing steps to break the siege. but many in gaza are struggling with desperate poverty as well as violence a tiring of such claims. no i'm not satisfied because there is no benefit ceasefires it happened many times before and were useless. hours into the cease fire 5 rockets were launched from gaza city to them intercepted by israel's air defense system nonetheless israel eased restrictions imposed on its own citizens near gaza and reopened border crossings. and the i.d.f. achieve its goal in this mission we eliminated. that was in charge of. recent actions against. we will do anything necessary in order to avoid any. since israel assassinated the senior islamic

jihad commander. on tuesday morning it's shifted its longstanding policy of holding hamas responsible for all rocket fire out of gaza instead striking islamic jihad targets and fighters almost exclusively amass said it stood with islamic jihad in the battle but held back from launching its own rockets a possible sign of its concerns about a wider escalation. there was further rocket fire that came out of the gaza strip as night fell on thursday evening at around sunset there was a rocket that the israeli military said was intercepted by the iron dome anti-missile system a few hours later around 8 pm local time there was another rocket that was fired and fell inside gaza territory shortly after israel launched this new round of strikes the israeli military tweeted saying it was targeting islamic jihad and was doing so in response to breaches of the cease fire in terms of this rocket firing

throughout the course of the day on thursday islamic jihad also released a new statement saying it was on standby with its finger on the trigger to respond should there be further attacks from israel it said it had a new weapon available to it it said a domestically produced longer range rocket with a range of some 120 kilometers there were protests in various locations on thursday evening inside gaza with people upset at the ceasefire saying that there should be further rocket attacks on israel in response to the large scale loss of life in gaza particularly the civilian casualties particularly the children that were killed especially from wednesday into thursday overnight there have also been concerns expressed on the other side of the border fence local communities on the israeli side near gaza declaring that their schools should be closed again on friday for fear that the cease fire would break down. we move to other news and

thousands of antigovernment protesters in chip marking one year since an indigenous man was shot dead by police a case that was marred by accusations of a cover up security forces have tried to disperse the crowds by using water cannon this latest protest coming against the backdrop of almost 4 weeks now of demonstrations over inequality the finance minister is now warning of huge job losses and the peso touched a new low on thursday raising fears of fuel price rises as well here is latin america editor at the scene human in santiago. it's been exactly one year since comey looked at the young that was shot by police in the out crimea region of chile he was a muppet indigenous community leader and on this day thousands of people have come out on the street carrying them up which a flag wearing black as a sign of mourning not just for his death but also for the people who have been killed or seriously injured during the last 28 days of demonstrations people

calling for social reforms in this country and while this goes on the congress is meeting trying desperately to reach an agreement between the opposition and the ruling political parties to try to come up with a way to propose a referendum a plebiscite for a new constitution that is one of the key demands now of the people on the streets but they can't agree on the format for this it looks like they have finally agreed about a short while ago but then one of the sectors went back into the meeting room and they still haven't come out with that while the people out on the street wait and see what they're going to propose because they say that unless there is a good agreement and the people are allowed to choose the constitution that they want they will remain out on the streets let's have a quick look at what's coming up for you on this news hour we will tell you why the opposition in guinea is rallying supporters against the country's president it's also the case of me and miles range of muslims gets a big boost from the international criminal court and in sports be

a live picture was an absolute pleasure trees in senegal. to host a breakthrough for. protesters in hong kong of blocks a major tunnel in the region overnight. low to. thursday parts of downtown were shut down as demonstrators targeted commuters for a 4th. straight day china's president says the unrest is jeopardizing the one country 2 systems principle xi jinping said controlling chaos and restoring order is urgently needed other development schools are being kept shut now until sunday and universities have canceled classes until the end of the year after the fighting on campuses let's go to rob mcbride in hong kong our rubbering is up to date now.

well that's right come out it's bad things are still very tense here in hong kong at the end of what's been an unprecedented week as you mentioned there we are one of the tunnels that goes on to hong kong's harbor this is a friday morning here this whole highway should just be jammed with traffic both ways on the cow loon side with traffic going across the hong kong island and vice versa as you can see it's completely closed down 3 there we know that there are highways around hong kong that are also being closed there are some stations that remain closed although the subway system is called the m.t.r. here that is working although there are delays but one or 2 of those lines have closed but we are waiting to see what develops next here particularly. this crossing the tunnel where the police will move in and try to reopen it the problem

here is that we are right next to one of the main universities here is called polytechnic university even if police do come in here when this is often a flash point and they clear away they reopen the tunnel the students can just come back from the campus again as soon as the police leave and close it down again now things have got a bit more permanent here as you're walking around you're seeing bags of cement and actually what they've been doing is they have been concreting the bricks into into the ground here and also using bags of cement to go and cement walls we've seen lots of barricades being built around campuses but now as the police seem to stay back it's allowing protesters both time to build more permanent defenses and here at the actual toll booths there were more fire attacks last night with petrol bombs molotov cocktails so there's not much point in police move again here to try to reopen it because there's no way you could actually take any money from drivers moving through a camera. rather it has been quite a week in hong kong and i emphasize that word week because we're used to seeing

things really ratchet up on the weekend given what we've seen this week now what are its people people expecting this weekend. it's a very good question i mean this is unprecedented it seems to each week seems to be worse than the week before and the week before that and it constantly evolves we we haven't seen this level of violence during working days before now i suppose there might be some people maybe in the office in the government here who were thinking maybe this is a change of tactics if ur students around during the week maybe they take the weekend off that may well be wishful thinking 'd maybe we are seeing a new level of violence here that students are prepared to take will violence direct action and sadly we are seeing more injuries and during the night we got news that one of the people who's been injured in a lot of the chaos this week he was a 70 year old man hit by a brick from

a protester he sadly died during the night so it is a now the death here that is being connected directly to these protests tomorrow thank you robin brian for that update live from hong kong. opposition groups say 3 people have died in guinea jury in protests against president alpha condé his attempts to change the constitution protest as a concern condé wants to see a 3rd term shelob else reports i don't. want to i don't know this is the price some guinea and so willing to pay to stop their president from running for a 3rd term. why they will foot the bill and that's what i meet with security forces and they have bullet proof truck they shot at me and the gas into my eyes they hit me with the truck. for months guinea's opposition has called on people to block the main arteries of the capital cannot craig they worry that president alpha condé is trying to change the constitution in order to seek

a 3rd term. sort of when you have seen it they are coming shooting live bullets alpha deol oh a student 16 years old just lost his life look at this other boy they shot in the leg they have been doing this since president condé came to power we cannot accept this. a she one year old condé is getting his 1st democratically elected president his mandate expires next year the end of the 2nd 5 year term. he is not a clear he will run for a 3rd term but he has lost his government to draft a revised constitution that would allow him to do it his government's defames the canadian people should get to vote for the option the opposition boycotted the process formed a coalition and called people to the streets security forces have used live rounds in a race to organize his least 14 people have been killed. condé said he would investigate the deaths and replaced a security minister earlier this week he announced in late parliamentary elections

would go ahead in february and change his policy to allow protests on government sanctioned groups. but on thursday when protesters deviated security forces crowd. them are some are something you. made that we were out to protest as it was authorized by the government we came as far as to see if we were blocked there was a lot of security present they were driving into us with. all this because of a question going on will condé seek a 3rd term charlotte ballasts. the international criminal court has agreed to investigate crimes against range of muslims in manama more than 700000 range of fled to neighboring bangladesh for more human rights officials have called ethnic cleansing the i.c.c. says there is reason to believe me and military committed crimes against humanity in 2017 here's what's happened just as

a reminder of the past 2 years the violence began in october sorry august 27th rakhine state it led to more than $700000.00 ranger escaping to neighboring bangladesh just weeks into the crisis the un human rights chief described it as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing after satellite images and accounts of mass killings emerged a year later u.n. investigators released a comprehensive findings and called for me and miles top military leaders to be prosecuted for genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes those same experts warned last month that there is an ongoing threat of genocide against rangers remaining in me and mar the repatriation efforts last year had failed so with us on skype now from north bergen new jersey is kumar the director of crisis advocacy at human rights watch thanks for your time as i read through that whole list there has been this call about and it's use the words it's use the words

genocide and crimes against humanity for quite some time now what sort of weight does the international criminal court add to that. well the international criminal court adds of course the weight and authority of this justice bloody in the hague giving victims a day in court but it also adds the specter of really be able to put the individuals responsible one day behind bars and no other court in the world will be able to do that but this court has now ruled that the prosecutor can continue looking into all crimes that have been committed that has resulted in the forcible transfer of range of muslims from myanmar into bangladesh and this is a really important bit of today's ruling they can also look at any future crimes committed against the community as long as they have a connection to their brother these for some other state party to the rome statute realistically though the issue is despite the weight that comes with the i.c.c.

words the actual prospect of getting anyone in front of the i.c.c. in front of the court in the hague isn't it it's it's it's a it's a good idea but it takes some work. that's right it's that it's definitely a long process that the process that we're just at the very beginning of the prosecutor hasn't even filed charges let alone ask for arrest warrants or thought to have those warrants enforced but on the other hand just a few days ago we saw boston boston tonight a congo these warlords was not just stabbed prosecuted taken to the dock but actually convicted to 30 years in jail to be behind bars for war crimes that he committed many many years ago so you see that this court really does have the potential if there is cooperation to provide

a unique kind of justice for justice on a really global feel the fact that those u.n. investigators are saying as recently as last month that there is. an ongoing threat of genocide against ranger i mean 2 years later and we've still got no change no no intervention from anyone to stop a potential genocide. i mean that's really the heartbreaking part of all of this the u.n. security council in new york i should be the body that would be seized with responding to this crisis that they have had some meetings they took a trip to the refugee camps in the bottom of the nation they gauge for the refugees they heard their stories they haven't really asked them in fact a missing piece of this accountability of just if part of and a missing piece of ending that ongoing specter of genocide eve decisive security

council action one step that they could take a really significant step would be to refer the all situation in myanmar to the international criminal court so that we're not in a situation of selective justice where we're only looking at the particular crimes that relates to crossing the border into bomb of the but we are can also dip into that crime and mean justice that cause the ringette flee in the 1st place as well as all of the other communities in side of myanmar including in shannon kitchens who are faced against humanity as well which i come out from human rights watch many thanks for your time thank you equal pay day was marked in the u.k. on thursday when women effectively start working for free because of the wage disparity with men the ukase of pay gap is one of the worst in europe many women don't even

know their earning less than their male colleagues as they barker reports now from london. paying men and women differently for doing the same or equivalent job is illegal but new research by a prominent women's rights charity has found that because of a lack of transparency many women don't know when the law is broken and when they're being underpaid 6 in 10 women say that i they don't know what they are now police and or speak them out colleagues and more than in the way women have a right to equal pay. but they can't be exercised that might have been put on hold all the data holds all the cards that they're in a very strong position they don't have to disclose pay for mation to their staff until they get to try to be in a situation olivia not her real name had a senior position in a bank the only female director in the business she found out she was being paid less than the male colleagues she managed she gave us a statement right here by one of our producers i feel quite angry that my employer has allowed this illegal act to happen and that i'm having to pursue

a claim in order to secure justice i feel degraded because my employer has effectively been saying i'm not worth as much as male subordinates she's now suing the company. is just failing to loss of confidence they feel taken advantage and the thing that really comes through a lot is the sense of shame that women are sitting there working to give everything they've got and their employers essentially they feel that they've lost being paid less than someone who's doing the same job so a high profile pay disputes including that of b.b.c. journalist samir amyt of encourage more women to speak out she discovered she was being paid thousands of dollars less than a male colleague for similar work after the b.b.c. publish salary details of top earners ok she is currently being considered by an employment tribunal. on average women across the world are paid 63 percent of what man in laos in southeast asia is closest to achieving parity with women earning 91

percent of what men make is followed by barbados or the bahamas so even has the highest level of economic equality in the e.u. with women earning 80 percent of what men and some of the lowest levels are in south korea india and bottom of the list iraq. but tends to be less of a paid up in countries with large numbers of minor workers on low incomes but in developed economies in cities like london the has large numbers of high fliers with big salaries the paid gap between men and women can be immense and that gap increases even further when you compare what's a white man and with a woman of color pay discrimination may be illegal but the pay gap is not companies don't have to do anything to close it rights groups now want to change the law to end all secrecy over salaries and a commitment by companies to do more to narrow the gap. couches era london

with us and scott now from minneapolis margarito its owner who's professor of finance at cornell university and the co-author of a harvard business research piece entitled gender pay gap shrink when companies are required to disclose them and we'll talk more about that disclosure in a moment migration i wonder if you could just 1st of all for anyone who doesn't quite get this equal pay day idea the idea that at this point women stop all women effectively start working for free yes so it's true that there are things you preserving to be sure but it's true that going over the world we have a barrier that though we may. be less or even in developed countries and in the country we are looking that you know it's not like them are very they're your baby have been made and seen me you know we've been seeing that with dad it's not improving is it at all i mean it's hard to believe that in 2019

and with all the social developments we've had in the in the last few years as well about women's equality that this is even still an issue. i still wasn't god thing is that it's improving over time but i would look was there that i think what we see is that the i'm explain because of the god the product is not you know the same by this in the station so it's different possible plus all mobs out the hour or at least 20 not waste time but i think there's much to put improvement so you'll pipe talking about companies being required to disclose the pay gap tell us a little more about that are you actually seeing changes there and how disclosing that pay gap affects women it's amazing some of this moves up to just regulations that require companies to disclose state i didn't do and sometimes it does so by

that end of patient so we're looking now and then my that's proof that there are delays in the place so see that require well for me is us how we're also decide on the lease and more and not men and women in a certain that the patients disclose way he buys did it and of patients so what are we sure that this includes on foreign policy that was the quiet by the little other night that about it dr lee bequeaths that they got to minus the string that they up and whether someone to sing it the way they wanted to duffy. with might be something to see when the thing about the whole estate i think that i thought was that that that by actually not blowing up mosques he put that taken off man but what happened then that may matter so they say that it beats insurgent the spy's it seems to be clear that they. migrate had some sort of talking gender pay

gap is with us thank you for your time thank you so much. well supporters of a high profile u.s. death row inmates are gathering to call for his release in light of new evidence that could prove his innocence 51 year old rodney rate is set to be executed next week in texas for the murder of a woman 23 years ago his attorneys though are saying new testimonies implicate the woman's fiance rights groups say the case against reed is deeply flawed john hendren joining us now from bastrop texas maybe just a bit of background 1st of all if you could john about this case. absolutely tomorrow i'm outside of a vigil right here for rodney read it includes his mother and a number of supporters were outside of the bastrop county courthouse in texas this is where he was convicted of the rape and murder stites it is also where he was sentenced to death by lethal injection an execution scheduled to take place on

wednesday november 20th so you would expect this to be a somber time for his friends and supporters but listen to this it's not what's happening right now. this is actually an uplifting celebration and that is because they have new evidence that makes it possible that might of the freeze there is evidence that suggests not only that corroborate his story that he had a long time relationship with the victim and that explains why his d.n.a. was on her at the time she was found dead on the side of the road here in bastrop county and there's also evidence that points to another potential suspect i spoke to his mother just a few minutes ago this is a little of what she had to say. to them told me. that here in the world is watching and. knowing the truth. and phone disability you can see.

so what is that new evidence well it's a series of affidavits these are signed statements that his lawyers have gotten one of them is from a coworker of the victim and that coworkers says that she said she was looking forward to her upcoming marriage upcoming marriage to a man named jimmy and now a police officer because she was having an affair with an african-american man named russell that seems to be all that the friend knows but there was another blockbuster piece of evidence and that is that a member of the arion brotherhood. a man named arthur snow claims that he spoke to that fiance jimmy for now in prison where fanelli was being held on an unrelated rape this is a sexual assault case and according to the arean brotherhood member admitted that he killed steinitz and that he did so because she was having an affair with an

african-american man so these friends and supporters behind me and the attorneys for rodney reed have appealed 1st of all to gregory abbott that is the governor of texas for a reprieve so that there could be time to review this new evidence and they've also appealed to the u.s. supreme court but there are only 6 days to go and time is running short commom fascinating case we'll keep an eye on that in the next week thank you john hendren . still ahead for you an al-jazeera where looking at the front runners in sri lanka's presidential election just days before the polls saturday. hundreds have been killed in a drugs crackdown in bangladesh that has just as actually been served. and in sport fellow riders paying tribute to the 3 time moto g.p. world champion who's getting ready for his last press.

a few of $32.00 degrees still looking at a big problem in terms of the smog across new delhi but down towards the south things are much better in terms of the rain a few scattered showers in the forecast of the next few days particular over here towards tonight maybe down towards colombo as well but for bangalore rue as well as diaper we are looking at some clear skies 30 degrees there over towards kolkata it is going to be a nice day with a temperature of 30 degrees also. the weather sponsored by qatar and. was taken to military are at our same image and i'm not blaming falls they were say don't think the intention was to make sure that injures women no longer entitle to be the basic rights for citizenship rights once their villages were burned were funneled into what is now become complex we're moving into our basic you're presuming exiles coming soon on al-jazeera.

after it began israeli forces a bombing numerous targets in response to rocket fire 34 hours to means have died in 2 days of fighting which began when israelis assassinated a senior leader office on the cheap. thousands of protesters in chile a marking a year since an indigenous man was shot dead by police the case was marred by accusations of a cover up putting further pressure on the government after almost 4 weeks of demonstrations against equality and opposition groups say 3 people have died in guinea during protests against president off the condo's attempts to change the constitution is he one year old is asked his government to draft a revised constitution that could allow him to seek a 3rd term. foreign ministers from more than 30 countries are in washington d.c. at the moment talking about how to take on what's left of eisel they have been concerns about the us is commitment in the fight against the armed group because president on trumpeter troops from syria however the u.s.

secretary of state downplayed those concerns might pompei or instead called on coalition members to carry out justice against suspected members of feisal on that country. coalition members must take back the thousands of foreign terrorist fighters in custody and oppose accountability for the atrocities that they have perpetrated and on the other side of the atlantic turkey is now sending more suspected eisel fighters and their families back to their home countries 7 german citizens landed in berlin earlier on thursday we can hear from john mccain in a moment about that repatch relations but 1st rosalynn jordan with the word from the meeting in washington. one of the main issues about dealing with isis is what do you do with the people who came from other countries to fight for the caliphate there is a general agreement that these people if possible should be returned to their home countries but there are a few countries particularly in europe that don't want foreign fighters coming back

to their territory they would rather that the countries where they have been living and fighting actually arrest them prosecute them and imprison them however u.s. officials say that's simply not a realistic ask the united states and a number of countries have taken the position that as a matter of coalition burden sharing each country has a responsibility to handle this situation on their own. our view is that it is not a fusible option it is not a viable option to ask other countries in the region to imports another country's foreign fighters and pursue prosecution and incarceration there the ministers also recognize that part of the reason why i still was able to establish a caliphate so easily and so thoroughly was because of the ongoing civil war inside syria the ministers are agreeing that much more needs to be done to promote

diplomatic efforts in keeping with the u.n. security council resolution 2254 and say that as long as they can keep focused on trying to end the civil war it will make it harder for eisel and for other such groups to try to reestablish themselves inside that war torn country. this is the 1st wave of returns by the official fora tease of german citizens or german residents who have been in turkish custody people who have been decided upon by the turkish authorities as being so dangerous that they can no longer stay on turkish soil. and yet for the german or for a t's the difficulty that they face is that on the face of it these specific 7 individuals have no charges against them they cannot be charged for any activities or their participation in any activities in the middle east under german law and as i say these people are then perceived to be innocent they can go about their own

lives back in germany for the government there is the serious issue that many people in this country are opposed to the return of people who the turkish government have referred to in such disparaging terms but they must also a bay the law the government just as much as these individuals it is polarizing opinion in this country and of course there are more people of the turkish government says it wants to return to germany. at least 4 people have been killed in iraq's capital baghdad during anti-government protests 35 others were injured many of them of a choking on tear gas will hit by of a bullets and 300 people have now been killed since the beginning of october in the anger over corruption and a lack of basic services more from jim in baghdad. we've been told daily that there are going to be substantive measures discussed and taken in

parliamentary sessions and really they have yet to really transpire the parliament continues to meet there are expectations by a multitude of protesters on the streets that they will hear perhaps some news that would indicate to them that the government is actually taking their concerns and their demands under consideration discussing them in parliament and yet that doesn't seem to be the case yesterday as well as today it had been expected that perhaps a part of electoral reform would be taken up in the parliament that perhaps ways of combating corruption would be taken up in the parliament that doesn't seem to have happened it didn't happen yesterday despite the presence of the head of the united nations assistance mission here in iraq today we're told it has not happened as far as we can tell what we've been told by some officials is that there was a draft law that was completed by the president's office with regard to electoral

reform that was then given to the head of parliament rather the cabinet and then it has gone to the president of parliament and that it will be discussed at some point we just don't know when and that's one of the reasons the people that day after day continue to protest despite the threat of violence and that's one of the reasons they keep coming out. china's president says mounting protectionism has eroded international trade and investment he made those comments as leaders from the 5 major emerging economies met for the 2nd day of the brics summit in brazil's capital and on all rappler was there for us. the brazilian capital but. at the 11th annual international brics summit. the so-called brics nations comprised of brazil russia india china and south africa are considered the world's top 5 emerging economies offer was great at one point during the summit chinese president xi jinping took subtle jabs at the united states saying tactics of quote
