and we're at a vigil for a black man who's been on death row in the u.s. for killing a white woman more than 20 years ago. a ceasefire in gaza between israel and the armed group islamic jihad has broken down less than 24 hours after it began just a few hours ago israeli forces bombed you must targets in response to rocket fire fighting between the 2 sides began on tuesday after israeli forces assassinated a senior leader of the islamic jihad in gaza 34 palestinians have been killed since then are a force that has more now from gaza when 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. 2 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. cohen they gave no warning usually they do but this time they killed a 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 2 of 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. achieved 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. protests in chile have clashed with security forces this time to mark a year since an indigenous man was shot dead by police after 4 weeks of demonstrations the chilean government is meeting into the night trying to negotiate

reforms that will finally appease the demonstrators al-jazeera has left america at its own listen human reports from santiago. all over chile demonstrators carried flags and the photo of look at the young guy to pay homage to the indigenous community leader who was shot in the back of the head by police one year ago. the killing further outraged the country when it was revealed that police had tried to cover up the killing of libyan cities for young people don't let themselves be fooled by the press they look for information elsewhere and they know what the chilean state has done to our indigenous. a matching them up which is spiritual leader that is ceremony in placer. but on day 28 of daily demonstrations some protesters express their discontent by renaming it dignity plaza the word dignity was painted on some tablets main avenue for all to see. it's

what we want and what we did didn't see enough of so much injustice and inequality enough of a country that belongs to just a few. to address that issue chileans are calling for a new constitution. which the president admitting this week that overextended security forces can no longer stop looting and rioting nationwide lawmakers from the far left to the far right frantically negotiated the terms of what has become a key demand on the streets a constitution that obliges the state to guarantee basic rights i the hope is that it will help calm the own growing unrest along with other immediate social reforms that might have been on this stage like every other these medical students provided for. aid to people suffering from pellet gun wounds or tear gas inhalation but these aren't tears aren't the only ones with their hands for chile's health minister has just announced for the cause is senator

a margin see in 6 regions and 2 problems of the country because of the huge number of contortions and injuries in the public hospitals. a crisis that is taking a dramatic toll on chile's once famously strong economy which is plummeting as quickly as the country's reputation as a bastion of stability you see in human al-jazeera sente our. former president is calling on the united nations to mediate bolivia's political crisis it comes as the new interim president says moran is were barred from running in the next election while the former leader has sought asylum in mexico his supporters continue to demand his return to risible reports of. thousands of protesters around bolivia's presidential palace they came here to show support to their leader ever what eles. was even better william when you asked is a 25 year old student he says he's warned about what's happening in his country.

it's an interim government that does not represent us it's filled with white people that look at us with racism and hatred we came here to show who the original people of bolivia really are on wednesday interim president and 9 years in a new cabinet in a place where bolivia's mostly indigenous community was well represented and where this spirit of buy to mamma or mother earth secret to that community was once revered it's now been replaced with a bible across and mostly non indigenous representatives. if people are demanding the resignation of. i mean. they're also saying that now it's time for civil war. to a seriously or and even the new administration 6 that they want to go by the. most anything that is. not representative i like that. the government is

trying to quell the protests with police and military presence on the street they're also trying to paint a negative image of abel more alice and accuse him of excessive while in power by granting media access to his private quarters in the presidential palace give me a total recall he lived like a rich man and spoke and defended the poor this is an example of something he did and everything he has robbed even morale has never allowed the media to come to the floors of the presidential house in spite of the deep divisions in this country members of moralists m.e.'s party agree to hold a senate meeting with the legislators of the new interim administration they fear the party will be banned and one to be allowed to participate in the elections as it's unlikely it will more or less will be allowed to run. i would suggest to the movement for socialism party that from now on they have every right to participate

in the general elections but they need to start looking for a candidate evo morales is not qualified for a 4th term that's why they have been so many protests by bolivians on the streets. people say they are protesting because they feel they new interim administration does not represent them and want to make sure they won't lose the rights they were granted when a woman alice came to power almost 14 years ago. bolivia. supporters of a high profile u.s. death row inmates are calling for his release following new evidence that could prove his in. since 51 year old rodney reid is due to be executed next week in texas for the murder of a woman 23 years ago but his attorneys say new testament implicates the woman's fiance john hendren joins us live now from outside the governor's mansion in austin texas john so what's the atmosphere like there a lot of people been saying. well i'm standing right outside of the governor's

mansion is a little above freezing that is where the governor is being asked for a reprieve for the life of rodney reed who was sentenced to be killed by execution by the state of texas on wednesday the 20th of november but these people here are holding a good job and promised to stay here until 10 o'clock in the morning that's many hours from now and it's 10 o'clock at night so it's another 12 hours they plan on being here to go crying out for the governor to grant a reprieve that is because it rodney remarkably are have new evidence and that seems to corroborate his story so they're asking the governor to give a reprieve so that his story can be heard i spoke to the mother of rodney read a little earlier and this is what she had to say. to them because we have the truth that here in the world is watching and knowing the truth it's been

so disability you can see. just tell us more about this new evidence that's been revealed. well there are a number of new affidavits that rodney reid's lawyers have secured there's a written statements by people one of them is from a coworker of the victim stacy stites and that says that states was not looking forward to the upcoming wedding with her fiance because she was having an affair with an african-american man named rodney that's all the friend knew but it's important because right. reads d.n.a. was found on the victim and there was another blockbuster bit of information an area naish marion brotherhood member named arthur wright says he was in prison with that fiance a man a man who has the originally been suspected of being involved in those that later

on was cleared well that fiance apparently confessed according to this area brotherhood member he killed stites because he found out she was having an affair with an african-american man so now they're asking the governor to appeal on that basis and there is also a request in with the u.s. supreme court many miles from here right now but time is running out all right john hendren the in austin texas john thank you. time for a short break here now just when we come back hopes the justice the international criminal court agrees to investigate crimes against brechin the muslims and me and mom and i'm said pay for an honest day's work find out which european country is the worst when it comes to the gender pay gap more in that state this.

but we are going to watch what happens over here towards medicare scar barry heavy rain over the next few days of towards harare though it is going to be a cloudy day few maybe some rain in the forecast with a temperature of 27 degrees. whether sponsored by catalona is. what are you protesting about how does this impact whether on line will i face mental state i'm directly out of translating slavery or if you join us on saturday this is an attack on academic freedom and on our ability to do research and teach freely they say is a dialogue myanmar is not making it very welcoming for people to come back everyone has a voice climate change is real 'd the discussion is real and i'm here to talk about the solutions on audi's iraq.

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on the al-jazeera the ceasefire in gaza appears to have collapsed less than 24 hours after it began israel has bombed numerous targets following rocket fire from the palestinian group islamic jihad. thousands of protesters in chile mocking the u.s. since an indigenous man was shot dead by police it's putting more pressure on the government after almost 4 weeks of demonstrations and by libya's former president ever more all is calling for u.n. mediation to end the political crisis around his insists he's even just a mic president but the interim leader says he will not be allowed to run in the next election. the hong kong is bracing itself for an unprecedented 5th straight day of midweek protests overnight and major tunnel was blocked causing commuter chaos in the morning schools are being kept shut until sunday bright as the latest

now from across the tunnel which was targeted over night. a very tense and uneasy calm here in hong kong this friday after another night of violence there is still disruption to a number of train systems and a number of highways are still closed and also at most of the university campuses around hong kong there is still a standoff between protesting students have been setting up barricades and riot police who largely been holding back the main cross harbor tunnel here has been completely closed there are other tunnels that go under the harbor but normally on a friday this would be completely packed with traffic this is being closed now for the past couple of days and part of the problem is it's right next to one of those campuses where we have protesting students there are students on the bridges over the highways here and then during thursday night again they attacked the. boobs

here that collected the tolls with firebombs petrol bombs also smashing windows so it's unclear whether police would move in to reopen this tunnel because it simply can't operate as a tunnel as it is at the moment what we're also seeing is that in building of the barricades and blocks of bricks on the carriageway here and also barricades around the campuses protesters have been using cement so there's a more of a permanence now to some of these defenses and also of course behind these defenses we know when we see him students building up large stockpiles of petrol bombs molotov cocktails so remains to be seen just what the next stage is as we come into another weekend which as we know over these months of violence have tended to see the most violent protests. the international criminal court has agreed to investigate crimes against random muslims and men mob more than 700000 range fled

to neighboring bangladesh in 2017 the i.c.c. says there is reason to believe me and mas military committed wives. the acts of violence amounting to possible crimes against humanity let's bring in emma palmer she's electra at the griffith law school at griffith university she joins us via skype from bangalow in australia emma how significant is this ruling by judges at the i.c.c. and do you think it was very much anticipated. and change here i believe that a significant ruling at a was probably anticipated the prosecutor so it's a preliminary examination some months ago and so we've been awaiting this decision by the pretrial chamber it's a relatively low threshold but they need to find any firm that they thought reasonable basis to say with an investigation which they have done sorry see on the basis of want to put forward by the prosecutor as well as mature and put forward by victims and to the courts and emma there seems to be now 3 parts of action against

me are isn't there i mean we have this i.c.c. ruling now and there are filings by gambia and also by argentina against unsung suchi just time all these 3 together for us where you. yeah absolutely so it's been a very busy way to end in important way to those seeking accountability for balance in them are we now have these trade events mechanisms international legal mechanisms responding to the balanced so the international criminal court is focused on individual prosecutions it has a relatively narrow jurisdiction in this case the consequent tatton men want it because then with ashes on to the courts now mines once so called asparagus up crimes such as deprivation and prostitution sorry state. although it has left open the opportunity to look at our crimes but they're not so because partly in by what the standing is in this international court of justice the gambia has no ups and application to the international court of justice this was based on state

responsibility so they're arguing that now my hands reached its obligations under the genocide convention and so as a state is responsible in that sense for approaching one's international legal obligations. and that there can be focused on on genocide specifically and the then is omega and that's quite interesting as also announced on wednesday is that when and what a criminal case is being brought on the basis of what's called universal jurisdiction reportedly before courts in contain at least a criminal complaint has been submitted that was also discussing crimes against humanity and genocide and it's looking at drawing upon evidence gathered by 2 un mechanisms the fact finding mission for myanmar and also to locate a tenant investor concern. how important is the right in the case to the i.c.c. because in the past the i.c.c. has been accused of being too africa focused isnt it. yes it has and so there are

various reasons why it has focused on less particular cases in africa but i think and the prosecutor certainly here is responding to that communications in the evidence that she's been given rather than necessarily kicking in a geographic vikas that it does mainly in practice the international criminal court is now looking at has a full investigation into this case and more market has not wanting to join and if we look at the list of preliminary examination that situations that the prosecutor is looking at that have not yet had an investigation formally approved. today we can see the philippines palestine afghanistan in ukraine as well it's one b. you know a lot mistook countries outside africa which potentially in a case that there would be a shift at least in the courts and attention resources perhaps in germany is now of course not all of those go only examinations will end up being preventing protests and there are only 2 investigation ok it is interesting shipped

a palmer thank you very much indeed for talking to us here at al-jazeera thank you . thank you so much. now sri lankans are preparing to vote in a presidential election on saturday got by rajapaksa the brother of the former president mahinda is a favorite to win he's campaigned on national security following the easter sunday bombings ben smith reports now from colombo. manda rajapaksa is not running for president he's already served the maximum 2 terms yet he's the man these people have waited hours in the rain to see. if he's older less charismatic brother got a buyer who's on the ballot politics is a family business for the rajapaksa it's. got a buyer announced his candidacy after the easter sunday suicide bombings the targeted churches and hotels killing 263 people. we want to save the country and make it a safer place in the future. we're hoping that he's the one who can save the country

for our children. as defense minister and president rajapaksa as were credited with crushing the towel tigers in the civil war got to by our faces lawsuits in the u.s. in relation to human rights atrocities allegedly committed joining the conflict in peace time the rajapakse has borrowed billions of dollars from china for infrastructure projects trying to sit in the middle of strategic indian ocean shipping lanes china has a 99 year lease on a port on the southern coast if supporters have any concerns about that they've been put to one side what has become important for them is true we assured to be able to make the assumption that i can go out of my house i can send my children to school whatever that there is no question of an imminent threat to them rajapaksa has promised another $5000000000.00 on new infrastructure projects if he wins. this can rely on strong. majority

always some votes. you know it is a secure. that vote. candidate for the ruling coalition. also has support from the cinema community and he has a wider appeal among some grassroots tamela muslim voters worried about the return of the rajapaksa i but he serves in a government that is presiding over a stalling economy and has been found responsible for ignoring intelligence warnings that could have stopped the easter sunday attacks big hurdles premadasa to overcome if he's to achieve victory. in a smith al-jazeera colomba. 2 students have been killed and several wounded after one of their classmates opened fire at a high school in the u.s. state of california police say the 16 year old suspect is now in the hospital after a shooting himself after the attack that happened in the city of santa clarita the

the situation in libya know 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 read 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 a 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 more pleasurable is just feeling devalued 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 giving everything they've got and their employers essentially they feel they're being laughed at because they're being paid less than someone who's doing the same job so a high profile pay disputes including that of b.b.c. journalists a mirror 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.

published 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 men earn 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 we don't have the highest level of economic equality in the e.u. with women earning 80 percent of what men earn some of the lowest levels are in south korea india and bottom of the list iraq. but tends to be less of a paid gap in countries with large numbers of manual workers on low incomes but in developed economies in cities like london the has large numbers of high fliers with big salaries the pay gap between men and women can be immense and that gap increases even further when you compare what a white man and with

a woman of color pay discrimination may be illegal but the pay gap is not and 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. park al-jazeera london. a quick check of the headlines here this hour the ceasefire in gaza appears to have collapsed less than 24 hours after it began israel has bombed many targets following rocket fire from the palestinian group islamic jihad or a force that has more now from 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
