when entering. we i think the great thing is the great joy that was. part of. a brief what does. president donald trump thanks to ron after the 2 countries exchange prisoners. i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up several saudi nationals in the u.s. are questioned over the deadly shooting at a naval base. and escalation of violence in iraq

thousands on to the streets to protest what they call the slaughter and baghdad. is on top of the world is once again the boxing heavyweight champion of the world after beating. as president donald trump has thanked iran for a very fair to go sheesh and that led to a prisoner swap between the 2 countries there a diplomatic breakthrough was brokered by switzerland and comes as the u.s. maintains tight sanctions on iran over its nuclear program and the chapelle has more. 2 men caught up in tensions between the united states and iran able to reunite with their families after a prisoner swap american graduate student. and iranian scientists mustard sulaimani a stem cell expert who'd been treating stroke patients at the best hospital in the nation the mayo clinic in minnesota so the money was arrested last year while trying to take medical materials back to iran it was far cheaper to buy in the

united states prosecutors said that was a violation of u.s. sanctions going to be. welcomed with tears he's back with his family and patients after spending a year in jail and that you know i told them that i had patients that needed my help and they said who cares let them die michael duffy on the same tarmac in zurich she was welcomed by the point man of trump's maximum pressure campaign brian hook a graduate student at princeton university chinese born wang maintains he was conducting research in iran for a history degree when he was convicted of espionage and sentenced to 10 years in prison recently at least where it is by no means his wife who campaigned for his release for 3 years said he was criminalized for his american citizenship. saturday's prisoner swap a rare acts of cooperation between the u.s. and iran president trump even thanking iran for a very fair negotiation i think it was a great thing for her and i think with great video that we can do something that

might have been a a breaker there as to what could be done dozens of iranians remain in u.s. prisons while at least 4 americans remain behind bars in iran returning them a priority for both countries whose long list of grievances rarely see such moments of cooperation and or chapell al-jazeera parsis the executive vice president of the quincy institute a political think tank he says the success of this swap may open the possibility of prisoners on both sides being free. i think they're very hopeful that perhaps something will take place because for the 1st 2 years of the trumpet ministration even though there had been existing negotiations during the obama administration that simply could have been continued they were really knocked pursued with the type of vigor that was needed so i think this is a very significant breakthrough in the sense that it does indicate that the trump administration is interested in such a swap and having succeeded this time perhaps they will be willing to go forward

and negotiate a swap for the other prisoners and whether that thing can create a foundation for further diplomacy between the united states and iran of course remains to be seen but it should be noted that even the 2015 nuclear agreement one of the key components that a key channels that was used in order to reach it which was through the omanis that channel actually came through as a result of the omanis intervening and helping 3 american prisoners get released out of iran and it was also a prisoner incidentally more than 30 people have died in a fire that swept through a factory in india's capital the devore laborers who were asleep when the fire broke out in new delhi at least 50 people had been rescued and the fire is now under control the saudi student behind a deadly attack at a u.s. naval base in florida is reported to have played videos of mass shootings and in a party earlier in the week on friday mohammed saeed al saran a shot at 3 of his fellow students at least 8 others were injured before he was

killed by a sheriff's deputy and best skaters are now questioning 10 saudi nationals in connection with that shooting as defense secretary says it's too early to call it an act of terrorism force we extend our condolences to all the families affected by it and touched by it and our military community downer but no i can't say it's terrorism at this time i think we need to let the investigators the f.b.i. do its work and tell us give us the facts and we'll move out from there. like hannah's in washington and says the investigation is focusing on whether the gunmen acted alone very early days in the investigation being carried out or headed by the f.b.i. both in the u.s. and also f.b.i. agents sent to riyadh to cooperate with saudi intelligence authorities there but certainly the latest news that at least 10 saudi nationals have been detained on the base a indication of the possibility of a wider conspiracy and not just the act off an individual in equally that

individual the gunman who carried out the attack his reports about a twitter feed that he had indicated an alert allegiance to an alliance with the sama bin laden as well as intense criticism of u.s. policy in the middle east in particular relating to jerusalem another indication of some kind of outside involvement was an associated press report that one of the saudi nationals detained on the naval base filmed the entire attack while it was taking place inside a classroom complex on the base but still as we heard from the secretary of defense investigators nowhere near any firm conclusion they will continue to do their work in a step wishing what the real motive was behind this attack. u.s. president says saudi arabia sent its condolences to victims' families but did not say of riyadh was helping in the investigation. with the king of jodi arabia. they are devastated jodi arabia we're finding out what took place whether it's one

version or a number of people. will be involved in taking care of family their loved ones you feel very strongly very very devastated by what happened what. state media says the country has conducted a very significant test at its satellite launch site hours earlier pyongyang said in a clear is ation was off the table in any future talks with the u.s. for now both korea's ambassador to the u.n. added washington's efforts for ongoing dialogue or soley for its own domestic agenda talks on the nuclearization have been largely deadlock since a summit between donald trump and kim jong un failed in february. where there's been a dramatic escalation of violence and the past 2 days on saturday an armed drone targeted the home of a prominent shia cleric. it was not home at the time the spokesman has warned such an attack could lead to a civil war. at 3 40 am

a drone was carrying a bomb which fell near the home of a stomach bug which is an unfortunate and unacceptable incident groups that want to incite conflict with them but our brothers of the southern movement are dealing with the situation with lots of wisdom as they initiated the call for calm and sort of hold on is following developments in baghdad she says the government's response rather to the violence has been slow. well the ministry of interior has said it has begun an investigation into last night's attack i have a tax but as of now it's still uncertain who is responsible president barham saleh issued a statement just a few hours ago blaming the attack on criminal gangs and outlaws so it's still unclear at this point who exactly is responsible the protesters themselves have blamed militia as well as parties for this attack but this is something that hasn't been confirmed at the moment the parliament has also called for an extraordinary

session to morrow morning several military commanders to try to better understand this situation but for now the slower the response of the government has been very slow and has raised concerns among protesters that as this violence really risks escalating even more the government should take a much stronger stand and push for a fast investigation to really bring those responsible to account. legal advisor to the national council for iraq a opposition it says the protesters demands are becoming more credible every day. their demands are being what crystallized as time went by i think the call for the accounting of the entire political system that was founded post 2003 invasion of iraq is now full in all people pulling on the ears of people who are understanding and appreciating and sometimes accepting what these protesters are saying. we are talking about an entire political system that is corrupt and that is backed by all

political factions most of those on political factions were accused by the group just this yesterday of carrying out the attacks on them so the question is being asked how could i how can a corrupt system how can a corrupt system corrupt elements. correctly reform itself that is where the difficulty lies and that's where what that's where the grievances that's where the grievances are howard and hence i think the the amounts that the entire political system is uprooted and completely replaced under under the supervision of an internationally and if i need your national body preferably in the united nations it is actually a very credible demand. fighters loyal to libya's your mechanize government say they shot down a fighter jet long into warlord khalifa haftar are reportedly happened in the south a tripling of the western coastal city of zawiya a task force says have been fighting to take the capital from the entering the

mostly gambian migrants 85 managed to swim to safety and were found by the mauritanian military near the northern city of what they were given food cloth and shelter by mauritanian authorities and various you and agencies including the international organization for migration. the room did receive treatment at the local hospital the bodies of dozens perished buried outside on thursday. i paid more than $700.00 to get to europe i took the ship with gambians and the single when the disaster happened we were on the edge of death thank god we are risk youth by the mauritanian authorities i am from the republic of senegal i was on my way to spain for better walk it was a cruel journey and we were deceived. deceived too where these families back in who thought the smugglers could help relatives. this woman in the town of lost her 17 year old grandson in the boating accident could. put it here we don't

really know him they went to the migrants. just many others drowned on that board i know about it from my family in gambia no one deserves that. on friday and other boat carrying 100 of the 92 migrants also mostly from gambia was intercepted by mauritania coast guard compared to the relatively short voyages across the mediterranean sea the atlantic route from gambia to the nearest spanish source is about 1600 kilometers trying to make it on a smuggler's boat is seen by some as an act of suicide yet hundreds on this voyage every year. the i.o.m. says up to 158 people have died so far trying to reach the kind of the islands. the death toll was 43 the current surge is causing concern in african and european countries trying to curb the flow of illegal african migration to the west.

north and mauritania. thousands of women in lebanon have marched to protest sexual harassment they are fighting to change a system they say is unjust to them and as they know how to reports from beirut a wider anti-government protest movement has given them a new platform. they are speaking out in solidarity with those who recently gathered the courage to do so a flash mob was organized by lebanese women to support others who have been sexually abused and harassed dozens have broken their silence of the past few weeks since the start of the so-called october revolution in a society where the victim and not the rapist is condemned this is a challenge to the norms of the service or health conditions for many many many women are in the minority as her children women speak up including ourselves more look for something that's been happening to us that the government is not taking into consideration not even the police and anti establishment movement against the

ruling elite has given these women a new platform like other lebanese they are calling for an end to corruption unemployment better living conditions and an overhaul of the political system there are so many just going to. laws against women i'm gonna just states the main source of the problem it's the fact that we have no civil cold's for personal status so basically there are really just courts that's run our and fairs lebanon is home to many religious sects whose leaders preside over personal domestic issues such as marriage and divorce women have an active and vocal role in the protest movement against their leaders they have taken part in protests a blocked roads led reconciliation initiatives by crossing frontlines in order to preserve national unity for many of them this is their chance to bring down the sectarian political system that human rights groups say make them victims.

activists say one in every 4 lebanese women have been assaulted yet there are no laws that criminalize sexual abuse and harassment women also have little protection from violence partners custody of children more often than not is granted to fathers and the list goes on bringing about change won't be. the greatest things are cheap to small steps. so i will i would always encourage to just take up slowly because all we need is patience if we want to peaceful protest if you want to peaceful revolution we're going to have to give it its type women who have been challenging the system for years are no longer alone and calling for a secular state the uprising may have divided society but these women believe there is already a new beginning for their favorite. place in a new used water cannon on protesters demanding justice for a woman who died after being set on fire and the man accused of raping her.

a political crisis but an economic downturn. believe in plans been to keep the holy theme production chain in the country under a state run firm why it will be. this pilot plants part of a trial that's taking years to see if that plan can actually work but from november there's been big setbacks. while b. was planning to partner with the germans to finally cherno electric car batteries on an industrial scale but it's fallen through and it's tough to find others willing to be a junior partner with the state which doesn't present this to hit us look at foreign companies what they want is to get the most profits so it's very difficult that someone comes in with the conditions you lay down which gives more benefits to the country. so. shortly after the german setback ever more rallies a president keen on nationalizing industries and who championed lithium was going

to. i don't certainty won't help investment no one knows who will be in charge next or even if they want the current model to continue. at least ask about agus says any future government would privatized lithium production and the peril. though that will lead to all of bolivia would rise up not just potosi which is in the state in which the uni salt flats are located and which has been most militant but now all bolivians have the contracts to defend our natural resources. though he would agree that even if the stay company remains there are other obstacles bolivia has to negotiate to take advantage of its lithium there's more than enough lithium underneath these so flats but there are questions about the viability of getting it out and one of the reasons for that is if it's mixed in with a lot more magnesium than elsewhere and separating it from that magnesium dries production costs up. those higher projected costs

a part of the reason why plenty believe the believe in lithium dream is due to fate but those still getting it out of the ground here refuse to stop believing. john home and al jazeera uni so flat's bolivia africa's largest lake is feeling the effects of climate change like the tories a major source of fresh water but the straw men and women who depend on it for their livelihood fear they may be out of what if action is not taken now they are met hasa as well from the ugandan capital kampala. john say while it has been a fisherman in all his life so is his father and grandfather too it's how the bills get paid but he says something has not been right for a long time on lake victoria. the water is warmer than yes before this is the 1st fish she's caught in alice. waters every time i come to fish i catch very little it's said sometimes i don't get enough to properly take care of my family.

scientists one life in africa's largest freshwater lake could die if the warning signs continue to be ignored millions in east africa depend on lake victoria but when think fish stocks are being blamed on overfishing pollution and climate change its pressure will we have issues lifting it would live within the city where to live was country nor the expose idiot read this issues tend to breed which is late enough people believe the eggs in mists switch up with new sun i don't be sure and even the limited changes and look at what it is it is loosing getting exposed and the production. fish farming is one way of repaying missing stocks for the domestic and international markets fish a rate in cages and given food and stable it usually takes about 9 months but sloppier fish to reach maturity. will be in a smaller short big volume of water we bought for mark's amount of activity.

here view of things behind us if the kid who has the top dog should be for volume of 698 it. may pass out over this the kid you would stalk $55.00 on the fish and the from the $50000.00 fish when we harvested them up about a 4 day weight or 500 grams. of 90 percent we gave. 25 tons of fish from this small volume. with the rising temperatures contributing to climate change and threatening to wipe out entire species fish farming is being encouraged but the cages are expensive to buy for poor fishermen. fishing is one of uganda's leading exporter and as if the fish in lake victoria continue to disappear it's not only the economy that will be devastated but entire communities for generations to come how to al-jazeera. friends have
