power into his own hands blazed the trail for players right. really understand the differences and see cultures across the world so no matter what we. conduct for that matter. a newly formed palestinian israeli party is projected to have won seats in the israeli election possibly giving it a big say and benjamin netanyahu is political future. santamaria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera with reports of thousands of children stranded by themselves on the us mexico border american

officials are heading to see for themselves. homeless again we report on the plight of tens of thousands of rangar refugees after a fire at their camp in bangladesh after weeks of international pressure mean massive military rulers release hundreds of protesters arrested after last month's to. 90 percent of the votes counted in israel's 4th election in 2 years and i expect i think it is a small palestinian israeli party which may hold the key it's the united arab list party which cross the threshold needed to enter parliament and with a majority out of reach for both the likud party and the coalition of opposition parties well prime minister benjamin netanyahu may have to rely on that small party for support and housing and i reports though from west to roost on that any coalition in israel would be a complicated. thing. according to israel's central elections committee

prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a path to forming the 5th government in 2 years but it'll be a difficult one it appears the netanyahu bloc is poised to secure $59.00 seats of a required 61 in the knesset there's no reason why we should go to a 5th election and that they must come to nothing you know and say we want to be part of the government we accept the results of this round and form a right of center a government that could aggressively pursue the opportunities we have ahead of us in. the religious zionist party an alliance of the far right fared better than anticipated and is expected to bring its projected 6 seats to a netanyahu government members of the party have been banned in the past for anti palestinian sentiment the palestinian israeli parties are projected to lose seats this round voter turnout was low the parties previously voted as one bloc under the

arab joint list but the group splintered at a 2nd conservative party called the united arab list formed now its leader months. could potentially do something unheard of previously support netanyahu government likud party members remain divided on what would be a historic alliance. critics such as opposition leader year look at the yes the tea party say netanyahu is drive to remain in power is centered on finding a way to evade prosecution on corruption charges and they argue forging ties with the religious zionist party would create a racist ultra conservative government but in this election netanyahu must attempt to forge a coalition with diverse smaller parties given the narrow divide between the pro and anti netanyahu camps that means these smaller parties and their leaders find

themselves with a huge influence in determining israel's political path forward natasha. was jerusalem. here's how it works forming a government in israel the knesset has 120 members which means the magic number to come to power is 61 and the projection shows are saying that number eludes netanyahu and the could also not likely possible for the coalition of the parties opposing him either so then as we say this is a small palestinian israeli policy which polls say could win as many as 5 seats and that is seen as one which may hold the balance of power as well as a let some electoral system is a complex form of proportional representation making it difficult for any one party to win out riots a senior political analyst is my own bashar he says it is extremely unlikely any right wing jewish parties would enter any coalition within our party. i don't think in real life we're going to see. enough studded benefit of the i mean the party

the extreme right wing parties sit with a bass in the same coalition center and they want to see the zionist religious party the most extreme of the most extreme religious fundamentalist jewish parties sitting together in the same coalition as an estimate party i don't see it at all what i would see is in the next month or $45.00 days that there would be a lot of maneuvering and that anyhow would use a bus and a bus with usenet and i would order for both of them to try to entice other parties to join but those with a bit of a memory was remember how netanyahu in the mid ninety's incited against then prime minister yitzhak rabin for a day ring to depend on a palestinian party in the knesset in order to pass

a resolution within parliament so much so that that incitement was whipped up sophie virtually that it led to the assassination of yitzhak rabin in 1995 that was not an elk and that is still netanyahu that the now that incited to the killing of one israeli prime minister because he depended on and on an out of party will not depend on on a party himself. now in the u.s. members of congress are to visit one of the emergency facilities that has been reopened after a surge of young migrants at the southern border a growing outcry after images revealed over crowded makeshift conditions and of the center in texas more than 15000 migrant children are in u.s. custody while the white house defends its handling of the crisis same president biden's already reversed the hardline policies of president trump former president

trump she ever tansey is in donna texas and behind you tell us about that particular facility. this is an a-z. was built in february to handle the increased numbers that we started seeing in february that in fact actually we saw increased numbers from november while the all drug was still in office which is why the simple joe biden has relaxed the rules narratives a complete nonsense frankly this is been a pattern that we've seen beginning in november when the judge ordered that unaccompanied children be allowed in having to having out donald trump refused to allow any undocumented migrants into the country using the pandemic as a reason and after a violation of international and domestic law for asylum seekers facing fleeing persecution this is a city we understand now is 1500 percent over its pandemic capacity pandemic capacity meaning with social distancing we know from the pictures and the video that's been coming out there isn't any social distancing going on in that

we've seen the video we've seen the photographs of hundreds of children packed into the polls are about 8 holds in each one of these tents each one is supposed to house about 260 people at least one on sunday we saw had about 400 other company male male children and this is packed and we're not sure necessarily whether what we're witnessing at the border was anything but what we usually see in the springtime which is a more migration because the winter is over it's before the summer you see migrants crossing as the conditions improve now unaccompanied children have been being let in since november and we were unsure what the what was being presented as a said really was a surge in february and perhaps it was pretty much on pretty seasonal actually a little february but now in march we're saying there is a drum we're now on track for 17000 unaccompanied children crossing the border and getting into getting into detention in march by comparison in the last 2019 that

was around 11000 so there is there are definitely more children coming but there's a complex web of reasons why which defies the easy narratives the way hearing from politicians certainly in the u.s. . i mentioned she had that congress people were on there why politicians american politicians what's the point of that trip and i wonder what will they actually say what will be shown right so there's one visit going on today in korea springs is about 400 kilometers north of us where the border. going to be visiting a facility that on friday as well will see these jude and delegations visiting the area a democratic members democratic members of congress visiting that same facility on friday will give the republicans visiting the border area on friday when the actu truth is by a succession of republican and democrat administrations and members of congress are

to blame for all this is a highly predictable we knew this happens happens almost every year but we'll see this will be used as a political football as children are suffering behind me and elsewhere but there are so many reasons why this was so predictable because i'm starting i mean again we saw this rise in november about the company children we should be very clear though putting this in the overall context of migration which is often confused with the republicans are trying to confuse things with overall migration patterns of normal levels in fact the biden ministration much to the annoyance and anger migrant groups and in fact international law is still refusing to give due process and asylum rights to adults coming in to the border without children so that is a real problem that's working its way through the courts it's what we're seeing here is a specific issue but children with their with saying that this began in november we started seeing that influx of children on the donald trump so that he started getting booked at what's supposed to happen as a kid is supposed to come to the border taken into detention by c.b.p.

customs and border protection they should be in facilities like this for no more than 3 days because of the pandemic the shelters which they're supposed to be transferred to were at 40 percent capacity for social distancing only in the last few days as the biden ministration out revoked that rule which of course has its own implications as well but there is clearly this this this this this. you know too many people in the system in addition mexico have stopped allowing the blood in the search to expel families so that's actually increasing numbers mexico says they just have the normal space in addition we have that seasonal seasonal job that we see every year which is when added to because trump close the border completely between march and nevada those people who wanted to cross last year and adding to what we usually have every year anyway and waiting will people then of course we have central american climate change the pandemic all these factors are also in and we also have joe biden continuing this draconian rule which doesn't allow adults in and how do you process under international and domestic law which means when we say

on the company sheilds that is actually a technical term unaccompanied means not with a parent but if a child comes with a member of their extended family or a guardian that's split up from them because there is a god and extended family members all being given due process they just sent back over so then they become unaccompanied literally on the company children and say that that should not be so there's a whole tapestry of reasons as to why we're at this situation and you're right there on friday it's very unlikely that the complexity of the situation will be explored because again both parties are to blame $40000000000.00 goes into the department of homeland security but militarizing the border but not necessarily to help with the facilities to treat people humanely and the bureaucracy to get kids to that audience and sponsors in the u.s. 80 percent of these kids have people in the u.s. you can take care of care for tansy with more of the reality of what's going on there in the u.k. u.s. and our next want to thank you. i want to talk about the u.k.

showers that just creeping their way into syria as we go on through friday when she makes pushing across the far north of africa to stop kabul at around 21 celsius so certainly not to wintry and those sort of winds are of course across the central parts of africa it's fine and dry lots of warm sunshine coming through the showers popping up once again into the democratic republic of congo easing up towards the gulf of guinea more big downpours here now shows well i come down across the heart of africa it's impossible to go to sink some heavy showers so well the weather too into that ace's side of south africa for a time moving east. this was wrong to take children away from their parents and herd them into a school against their will there was no mother no father figures they put his

growing out crime after images revealed there are overcrowded conditions britain wants to make it harder for refugees who enter the u.k. illegally to apply for asylum home secretary has proposed new legislation to overhaul the country's asylum system. officials in bangladesh are investigating just what caused a fire at the world's largest refugee camp these 15 people were killed and hundreds more are missing in cox's bazar monday's fire destroyed thousands of shelters the camp houses more than a 1000000 range of refugees from 1000000 dollar in the u.n. says many 45000 of them have lost their time to chandra has more from cuts is bizarre. what you see behind me is the last. now many of these huts were actually burned they were built overnight some of them are 10 some of them are bumble toppling so they were built overnight to provide shelter but there is a coordinated effort by all the aid agency is and the government to clear this area

and to start building new shelters a lot of the people on know taking shelter in their family and friends houses some of them has been eco mandated in temporary tents others in community centers and schools now this camp was one of the largest area that got burned they had clinics that learning centers in formal school days are gone they took years to build them and a lot of question will be raised why this fire incident happening what is the reason i mean one of the culprit is the gas cylinder used for cooking but the refugees are not trained to deal with these issues why frequently this thing happen in future this has to be dealt with i mean a lot of life being last about hundreds of people are still missing many of them are children you've got to realize half the population in this camp are children they are highly traumatized the gunman is also taking many of them to remote coastline and the plan is to move 100000 people there 14000 have been moved they

said it's because of security and decongestion reason so this people are really frustrated and shows they don't know what their future holds with the political situation in myanmar and their fate is up to others they don't have much say on the decision making process. since the czar's louise donovan a spokeswoman for the un refugee agency she spoke with so here and said the situation is dire. honestly the the images the pictures don't do justice to the scale of the devastation it's really it's the biggest fire that we've never experienced in the camps and and it's affected huge numbers of people 45000 people have been made homeless over nice you know the numbers of injured as over 400 people and there are still more than 300 people who are unaccounted for so i mean we're working around the clock all of the humanitarian agencies in terms of shelter food and water but also to deal with the trauma that these people have been through most of these people fled violence terrible pressing question in myanmar just over 3 years ago and to have to go through such

a severe trauma again it's really really devastating obviously in such densely populated refugee camps when a fire does does stars it's very difficult to control people are living in in flimsy shelters tarpaulin them the majority of the refugees who were affected in yesterday's fire are being are being housed by neighbors by relatives and friends in camps nearby and we're also providing temporary accommodation in learning centers and communal facilities so at the moment our priority is to respond to the immediate needs and and you know we need additional support the call on the international community to support us and support the whole humanitarian community to respond to these needs and in just a terribly desperate situation now may in moscow television says the military has actually released more than 600 protesters arrested since last month's coup they were released from prison and yeah go on a local human rights group says at least 2000 people have been arrested all up in this military crackdown since last month for him so he's following the story from

kuala lumpur. dozens of buses were seen leaving insein prison in yangon city on wednesday morning but even with the release of more than 600 detainees there's still hundreds more in detention and then geo that keeps track of political prisoners says that as of 23rd march 3rd just a day before the release on wednesday morning there were more than 2400 people in detention or who had outstanding warrants now and the non-monetary possibly want to see this release as a goodwill gesture but it certainly shouldn't be taken as a sign that it's going to be taking a soft a stance a man monetary spokesman said that the internet restrictions in myanmar are going to remain in place and that the focus next is going to be on those who provoke on rest now the protesters are not out on the streets on wednesday but this isn't a sign that there's going to that the opposition to the coup is dying down even though people are genuinely afraid that they are going to be arrested they are

changing their tactics now protesters instead of staying home the organizers say these this is called they're calling it a slide and strike and the objective one of the objectives is to honor those who died throughout the weeks of protests but another objective really is to counter what the gentleman saying that things are slowly returning back to normal in myanmar now wednesday was also supposed to be the day that hearing day for the trial of aung san suu kyi the democratically elected leader but her trial has once again been postponed and those postponement is likely to add on to many people's believe that she's not going to get a fair trial. coronavirus news on the german chancellor angela merkel is reversing tough restriction measures for the easter holiday just a day after they were announced the decision fell as widespread criticism over the government's latest plans to try to curb the spread of coded 19 michael says the plan shutdown actually risks doing more harm than good it included a ban on large gatherings and the closure of most shops for 5 days from the 1st of

2 things really it's putting more eggs into one basket you know hell of a lot more containers so when things do go wrong. there's a bigger disruption just from one vessel and of course the fact that they are launching means that when it goes wrong you are more likely to have a a more severe problem to sort out as the same with this particular vessel which of course has completely blocked the can now as we see in the past you know series canal has been shut actually for much longer periods as a result of conflict in the region so well that's showing is there is there is an inherent bonobos here a lot of shipping goes through it and if something does happen many can be very very disruptive to well shipping and be a been a c.e.o. of the global community to get goods from one end. of the world to the other. little news coming in from libya for you a commander loyal to the ward cleaver how after he's been assassinated we're
