his 1st singles title in 3 years. ah, now sees far between israel and the slamming g had in garza appears to be holding. as the skies went silent and these rarely bombardment finally ended, had estonians and now burying their dead. the truce was broken by egypt. the un and halter were also involved. or at least 40 for palestinians. mostly civilians were killed in the conflict which began on friday. 15 of them were children, these are the government says it was targeting members of the group is slamming. she had it says it's kill 2 of its leaders during the offensive. the arm group responded by firing hundreds of rockets into israel. most were intercepted by the iron dough missile defense system will speak to human. a said sure, lou,

standing by for us in garza but 1st his her report garza is quite on monday. no, he's really bombs, no collapsing, building, no air raid siren for now. 3 days at form, bard meant by israel has destroyed homes in kill dozens of palestinians. many of them children the seas wire began late on sunday, bringing relief and celebration. we hope we will not have wars. we are a people and we have the right to live our lives and gaza. we don't want was every year or every 2 days. now we haven't even recovered from the previous war because israel said hunt for leaders of the palestinian islamic jihad israel and its allies colbin tourists. but they are relatively small armed resistance group,

enjoy support among palestinians these sac heavy aerial at artillery attacks on neighborhoods in garza and retails the actor you rocket fire into israel. egypt mitigated the seas fire between israel and these lamb. if you had with support from the u. n. a cutter that had one and i did it because of this renewed aggression to guitar role was again as it always is, with the aim to stop this aggression and stop the continuous bloodshed. israel and his lamp, he had both reserved of right. they say to respond to future aggression, assuring a daycare long conflict is far from over. there was so rough i shot the zionist enemy, had a clear and specific goal, the annihilation of the islamic jihad movement. and its military wing the l could brigade, today, after the cautious stopped islamic jihad is clearly still strong. minutes before to

cease fire ticket sack a flurry of bombs in rockets flew back and forth between cause any israel before the skies fell silent people and garza don't get to go back to anything like normal because they're still living under israel's siege. that is a form of silent violence against every man, woman and child in gaza. 24 hours a day, $365.00 days a year, 15 years. so unfortunately it is fragile. this is going to happen again. i can't tell you if it's going to be in a day a week, a month or a year, but it's going to keep happening because israel enjoys total impunity for its crimes against the palestinian people. as crossover live down to him, the said in gaza una, how is that sci fi holding now?

me? well, hearing god, while people are trying to get back to their normal life, ah, many families are morning and in funerals of their last beloved ones in the past. try the other. is there a hospital with their injuries? but the situation remains very complicated, politically, where it's a very cautious side loans. it's a very fragile father. like you mentioned yourself. i mean according to me, you had the political leader, you're in the gaza strip. you had a boss who we have spoken to. they said that they have an agreement and they have promises by egypt made on the release of the messiah de la vega. and that is considered a promise for the wire to be implemented in the coming of 2 weeks of time

frame you said, or as soon as possible. the other had, is, is really internal security and minister said that the agreement of the fire did not include releasing of any high profile islamic you had a prisoner, is that in custody with israel? so, the ad, the kind of, also last night in his presser, after this, the fire agreement was reached, said that your kid and promises are releasing both inside the and out were made. and the not releasing them is considered a breeching of the fire that could take them back to or the group back to the attack. so basically it's a, it's a very complicated see the like very complicated silence. and these

fire agreements, the situation is still very and clear. it's still very fragile. on the other hand, you and you've been carry according to the 3 here read because the trip investigating the aftermath of these really strikes the power plant has said that by 15 g it should have all the fuel needed to operate to fully today at 15 g i, thanks so much jim. know how these really strikes mostly hit 3 areas. several people including children and an elderly woman were killed in the giovanni refugee camp in northern garza is ready air strikes. targeted and agricultural area in hon . unison. the south also hit was sites in the offer along the border with egypt. well, those strikes killed, palestinian islamic jihad member had a month for the spring and now palate of

a have he is the palestinian islamic jihad movements. media officer in lebanon joins is fine. skype from bay root the seems to be some differing narratives on what exactly was agreed to. let me start with a very clear question. in your understanding has israel agreed to the immediate release of palestinian islamic jihad figure holly the wilder and the release in 2 weeks of beth's aside, is that what you understand? israel has agreed to thank you for having me. the person the office of last night. that's a good reason has mentioned there's a big difference that there isn't agreement as being each bite is just show and then they could email and mom says, dad, i won't have to leave today. busy during the summer, sunday is to be read within 2 weeks. now it's sort of not

yet it's for a noun one, which one is right and which one is saying that to the agreement 3 be have it once. but as we heard from our correspondent, that is resources are indicating that they have not agreed to release these figures . what will it mean if, if they are not released within 2 weeks, what does that mean? a return to conflict? yes, yes, sure. we have a medical decision that without leaving the summer stop, there will be ne agreement that will be a pretty or agreement from that isn't a 55. we continue. let me just go into

a little more detail. try and clarify this. there is a difference between saying we understand the egyptians, all the mediators or the un will work towards the release of these 2 people. you're saying that's not your understand. your understanding is not a vague promise to work for the release of a louder and aside. the, your understanding is that they will be released. that is the agreement, correct? yes, that's if you remember the digestion declaration have to be made 5 mean late or so on. there was a difference between the commission and the position and the part is going to have a certain that without mentioning that he would not be and then we'd be more use fire agreement. so that exception have to take that into

consideration. and they mention that into the announcement, where is this agreement that has been no release of an official text of this agreement? right? you know, i think it's in your hands to say what, what they're getting month and how to deal with tuition. this is not the 1st time that break agreements. we know that and we believe that minute and get more run had to make victory at the expense of the people at the expense of the policy, not a blog. this is not the 1st time the government to this fall. now we have a agreement with it. there would be more to use fire. we were really clear that we kind of thought that we thought launching supp

plan to fire on the conditions that allow that to be released soon. i mean this morning and the some astronomy shouldn't be released within 2 weeks or so on shows they demand that not to be limited with one week and to make more time. yeah, let me just think this time is running out. you mentioned the launching of rockets . how do you respond to the criticism that the launching of rockets this time hasn't really achieved much towards ending the occupation of the palestinians. these really occupational cities that hasn't contributed much towards ending the siege of gods. all it's done is possibly violate the laws of wars by targeting civilian areas and israel rockets against li are going to submit

a pre authorization against us. we are going towards civilian areas, not just military target. so the, the rockets are going toward civilian areas, military target. nothing is really for to get a saturday from inside home and june, january, there was no planning. there was no battle is ottoman. may have made a mistake or again to be then or go they say that it was in that it's not a good you can give me a little bit of options and leaders one. nope, nope. i think going on or i thank you very much for your time and for sharing your perspective. thank you. thank you. now is ready, forces have demolished palestinian homes during a raid in the northern occupied west bank. bulldoze is accompanied by israeli

forces destroyed 2 houses in the village of romantic narr, jeanine. one belong to the grandfather of a 20 year old kind of sin in news, accused of killing 3 israelis and early may. well, the village of romana is 17 kilometers northwest of the palestinian city of jeanine . it's home to some 6 and a half 1000 people need abraham sent this report from the demolition site in the man. this is what remains of the hot family home after israeli forces rated that a man a village and demolished the house. it belongs to the property of its when eager old palestinian, who has been accused by israel, of killing 3 israelis in an attack in may. the grandfather from his behalf. this was his dream home. he worked abroad for 30 years and it was his re to come back here and build a 3 story house. but now him and 16 other members of his family are homeless

and of a cooler donnie. the destruction of this building here only increased hatred and not for me. my children and grandchildren are not afraid. they are showing the seeds of hatred amongst a new generation. but i told the israeli commander, all occupations will come to an end. the house of 19 year old as either if i had been demolished as well. both men were detained in israel after a 3 day man hunt. the families here say they had no idea of their son's intentions . i'm joined here now by the uncle of us. are the. refer you mister aguilar. i will ask you, can you rebuild this house? heard from him? none us thought the we can't even remove the robbery before we get the approval of the israeli occupation. we can't rebuild the house. now, 8 family members have lost their home and have nowhere to go. many here are telling us that they're following the news of the latest israeli escalation on the besieged

gauze, esther. and they say, even when a cease fire has been reached israeli occupation, its violations and its measures are still ongoing. plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including kenyans will like the next president in less than 24 hours heavy. who's running their promises? china extend military drills in circling taiwan, define condemnation by the u. s. and his allies for the heat is on at manchester united. find out why christiana ronaldo didn't start the teams. disappointing please. and open up the head of ukraine state nuclear energy companies, calling for those parisha power plant to be made a military free zone located in southeast, in ukraine. it's the biggest atomic power complex in europe. both ukraine and russia. blame each other for shelling at the facility. ukrainian officials of

accused moscow trying to cause power black house, un secretary general, and tony would tell us once international inspectors to visit the plump, any attack to a nuclear plant is suicidal sink. and i hope that those attacks will end and that the same time, i hope that i will be able to have access to the plant and to exercise its meant that competencies john henry now joins us live from k of. so 1st of all, what is the situation at that plant? the russians is saying, hey, operation back to normal. is that giving anyone the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief? well, possibly because it sounds like we have a breakthrough. and that impasse over whether international figures will be allowed to go and monitor that particular facility. and that's because the russian

permanent representative to be international, atomic energy agency says, now that russia is now willing to facilitate i a monitors at that site. what does that mean? we don't know yet because this is breaking news, but what happened up till now is that in the past 2 days, that facility has been twice struck during fighting russia and ukraine. each blame the other for those strikes. but the concern from the international community is that this is the largest facility in europe, the largest nuclear facility, and a disaster. there would be a problem, not just for ukraine, but for all of europe. and that's why the head of the un. anton gutierrez says that he wants to see in, or national atomic officials, they're at that site. they had a, b, i. e, a roughly a growth. he says he wants to send people there until now. we hadn't heard anything from the russian side or whether they were going to allow that. and this is

important because that is the scene of intensified fighting ukrainians are trying to take back the area of her song which is right around where that nuclear side is . but that nuclear site is behind russian lines, so it is secured by the russian military. but inside there are ukrainian workers who have been ordered by the russians to continue operating. meanwhile, there's firing outside with a very tenuous situation and the world community was growing extremely concerned. will this resolve all those problems? we don't know, but it looks like we might have a step forward, sammy, right, despite the risk of nuclear obliteration, i understand you've been spending time with people who are going back and trying to put things back together. tell us about that. that's right. we'd heard about what were called cleanup braves, and so we followed a group of young people who hired coaches after raising money by themselves and crowd funding some other money. and they drove 2 hours north of chief. certainly

these people were from as far away as the united kingdom and we watch them. they spent 2 days and they would sleep outside bathing in a lake. it was crazy and they would spend their days tearing down these houses that had been turned to rubble by the fighting up there. and remember in that region, north of key van is where ukrainian troops drove away the russian troops. and we talked to those young people about exactly why they were doing that. and this is what they had to say. i. this is the sound of a new generation of ukrainians, unbound by war, resurrecting what's been lost each weekend. hundreds of young volunteers from across ukraine and as far away as london donate their own money raise more through crowd funding and higher coaches to carry them 2 hours north from keith to get here . then they go to work. they call it

a clean up res. we cannot all be on the front line ah, shooting and struggling for our country, but we can do something useful here, staying at our home, said our country as so, so, and destroys our country. and so once a, someone needs to rebuild russian rocket strikes turned the house from this into this with no hope of saving it. the workers clear the way for reconstruction, the spirit and the pin for dot com find out around. and it's, it's, it's really touching on march 5th, this man, his pregnant wife and his brother were in the basement when rocket struck somehow. every one survived. for a couple holiday, 7 or 30 so many people have come together. and what a great book of that bob, we'll try to adopt a bill and move forward to victory through pouring rain searing heat and

summer sun. they work until the site is clear. these volunteers came here to listen to the music, have a good time and rebuild their country. brick by brick. it when it's done, intern, pull yaks, bother in law. who owns the home? says thank you. ah, the reward. a free concert from ukrainian electro folks t r o nuka, who says she takes inspiration from the youth of ukraine in its defiance in the face of an ongoing war. i to feel it in there. i say, and i think that if we have such powerful young generations, so impressive. so encouraged and i him know his attention that ukraine run stent with this then they party is only their generation can oh, celebrating in a torrential downpour in

a cultural center. gutted by shelling in the region where the ukrainian army drove out russian forces. john henderson al jazeera yvonne if good, northern ukraine. a ship carrying 12000 tons of calling from ukraine is docked in turkey, ship left china mollusk, 3 days ago. both russia and ukraine of agreed to resume grain exports under an agreement broke had by the united nations and turkey. the un was warning the delay next volts could lead to famine and higher food prices. in many parts of the world . chance transitional military council has signed an agreement in the country capital. it leads to the start of peace talks with several armed groups. the deal comes after 5 months of negotiations paves the way for elections and the return to civilian rule hammered vow reports of the peace agreement could end decades of instability. the talks got off to a difficult start in march from factions walked out demanding greater presentation

. they assisted members of the transitional military council or t. m. c. not run for office. the draft agreement is meant to pave the way for a national dialogue later this month and the new constitution. chad has been locked in internal conflict for city decades. edris debbie came to power in 1991 in a military coup and served as president until his death last year. fighting among arms growth has 4 hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. when his father died, 37 year old mohammed debbie took over as president and had the 15 member transition military council with his creditors with bringing rifle the militia to the negotiation table. but the absence of some of the main opposition figures from the signing on monday and he kindles doubts about the sustainability of the deal. chad is one of the poorest countries in the side, and with decades of drought and ahmed conflict,

it is an urgent need of stability. there is an air of happiness and optimism here among the delegates with me here is feldwood for saying he's going to, he's from the national council for reform. he's one of the 4th 2 organizations or groups that have find this agreement, and he says he's happy. why are you happy? what's different about this agreement? because this piece agreement, there is a lot of international community involved to observe or to, to, to, to continue to see where the piece in china. so that's why it's a lot of delegation here today. first of all, the united nation african union and countries around the child, they all came here today to see the peace agreement. that's why today we are very happy with it, but the mystic and then how did you he's will came when he came here already, to see all the political movement here's to to say,

to appreciate them to sign the lease agreement. seems that not all charges are ready for peace because some of them have not attended this ceremony today. they have no claim. one of them is one of the most active groups in shot military. yeah, peace agreement is still open and then it's still open for everybody to join the peace agreement in the future. so we urge and then today are everybody to didn't sign. and then because this is a short memory for the child, the and so anybody who did in science here will continue to sign the agreement is open. so i don't, you can send that one of the main factions. an armed function, very active in the country, has not attended and has an a planet. so that is the hesitation for the fact. so because the stay here for 5 months through to negotiate with the child in of them. but i have the optimistic, they are welcome in the future,

to sign with peace agreement of to joins is a switch agreement. so that's why you know, like all the chad in government is still the half. ah, the demand for everybody and outside the country will come and then to joins a piece like you so much fuddled scene from the national council for reform. so basically the 42, a groups that have signed disagreement they, they say they are very optimistic. they said this is the biggest, the biggest gathering and the biggest deal of its kind of chassis and chart has signed dozens of similar deals in the past. but they said this is the greatest. and they said it's time in charge. everybody in chad is titled of war is cited of conflict and they believe that with the help of cut out on other countries and the u. n. and the and that the african union. and because the charges are ready for peace now and tired of war, they think this agreement will last. canyons will head to the polls in less than 24 hours to choose a new president. parliament county governors and assembly's president to hold

kenyata will step down after 10 years. many votes is frustrated by corruption and skyrocketing prices are hoping for change. ha tomatoes or reports on who's running and what's at stake. this is golly, made from kenya. staple, olga. amazing. like most basics here, it's price has gone up and because of shortages, it's not easy to find in the living evenings continue these, we more businesses will close. we are facing a lot of challenges of corruption, foreign debt, rising inflation and unemployment. a big election issues. and all candidates are promised to cushion household against the increasing cost of living for politicians on running for the presidency. david, while would a, a lawyer and pasta george watch acoya, a law professor, william router king as deputy president and rayleigh or dinger. a former prime minister,

but opinion poll suggests they are 2 front runners. oh router, the current deputy president who describes himself as a hustler, and hopes his rags to riches story will resonate with the poor. and what dingo, who's making his 5th bid for the top, the job. the veteran opposition leader is the son of king as 1st to vice president and enjoys the backing of current leader who, who looking at it's an election some and the say will be hotly contested. he korean is the largest ethnic group in king. i have no presidential favorites this time, however, both the router and wanting to have chosen he qu, you writing mates in a country way ethnic voting blocks are important. i divided the q u votes needs a selection, go either way. they are already claims and counterclaims of sabotage and of taking more than a 1000 people died in the 2007 elections. what happens with kenneth, you political significance?

is that it just that that tension. oh, sort of begin stew to shake up the year of the stability of the, of the great hall of africa and then the larger east africa. so that's what and has a lot of intellectual of organizations that are bestier. and so can years with teaching for, from a global perspective. and that's what the intellectual community is looking at, business communities, biscuit be just sitting on the edge of your seat, trying to figure out whether this is going to go peaceful. you know, i like some previous votes, they've been less pre election violence. kenyans generally have confidence in the judiciary. many hope if the results are disputed, candidacy will result differences in court and not the st. harder matessa al jazeera, narrow the right time to catch up all the weather with everton. now how i would say some intense heat into central parts of china. temperatures in excess of 40 celsius in bay province are over the last 24 hours further north we got some very

wet weather, intense downpours here. this slow moving weather system that is going to bring more very heavy rain is northern china sliding across the yellow sea, pushing across the korean peninsula of the parts of japan. also seeing some of that wet weather wriggles its way a little further south, which as we go 3 way to stay there will be localized will flash flooding on the system some very heavy. right to come for many as we go through the next couple of days, some heavy rain to into southern parts of china, developing system here in the south china sea that is swirling away little fletcher storms. it may well broo up into a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next couple of days. a certainly one to watch is drawing those monsoon showers across a good part of indo china. heavy downpour is coming through here elsewhere. you so scattering a shower stream malaysia and indonesia really wet weather continue with the monsoon rays across central parts of india. we do still have red warning in force across, so central pass and that wet weather that's going to drive its way up to will,

bangladesh was me and mom as you make away through wednesday and thursday still a had an al jazeera this, that most people see on the left leg and they put on the lumbers, 1st, left this president sworn in before thousands of cheering support is in bobo, top in sport, an emotional moment for this gulf lodge in the house coming up during the al ah ah

ah. safe going home and then you international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero. oh,

a come back. you're watching, i'll just there are, let's recap. our headline. russia says it's ready to facilitate the visit from officers from the international atomic energy agency. the totally separate power plot. both ukraine on russia blamed each other for shelling the facility last week . it's your largest atomic, how complex chance transitional military council assigned the peace agreement with several long groups in the country. capital's doha deal comes off the 5 months of negotiation paved the way for election and return to civilian rule. the palestinian islamic jihad group tells al jazeera it'll renew it's offensive against israel if it doesn't release detainees. p j figure, how did the head says israel agreed to release to the top? come on the under a seas 5 deal broken by egypt. israel has denied agreeing to such term.

let's return to our top story and bring it now to serious senior political analyst . matawan shawna joins us on skype from paris. good. have you with us model one. first of all, is this round? i think we can say round of this conflict. is it ready over? well, it's not clear, as you know, there are still point to vs over who's not biding by. this is agreement who's not course, as we all know for a cease fire is also a war by other means. because the occupation continues in the blockade and gas are continues. hence, the systematic violence against the palestinians persist. and that good then a spin over to another confrontation it, sir, it's always a good to remember that this is the 5th of such wars or rounds as you put it

since 2008 bits less. and then 3 years for each round of conflict, violent conflict war, devastating and thought arising for the people in gaza. and it goes on unabated does indeed i'm in a with the occupation continuing with the siege. continuing the root cause of this goes on. this is highly unlikely to be an end to the problem, isn't it? this is just a temporary pause. oh yes, absolutely. i mean if anything, we could say that it's madness because as i said, 5 wars, that is re launches against that by the synonyms hoping that the result will change . but it does not change. i mean, if anything is re launched a war in 20082014 against hamas,

basically in garza where the more potent or the more powerful palestinian faction in the strip. but this time around israel was basically begging our regional players, basically a feeling to hamas not to get involved in this round of conflict in this rule. so if anything, israel is deterrence has weakened after 5 wars. if anything, israel is now drying, or has tried to reach a ceasefire with a small shiny palestinian faction by the name of the her ischemic she heard in palestine. this is one of the tiniest palestinian factions for the my d nuclear power regional power. israel backed by the united states and the west to be forced into a ceasefire with a tiny palestinian faction. well,

i think it's definitely not working for israel. clearly. what about $11.00, the cost? what is happening to them? it becomes a zillion. what has happened to the palestinian deterrence? if you look at those palestinian rockets, how are they contributing to any effective way or means in ending the occupation and ending what human rights groups call the apartheid the siege. when israel says it's i and don't system intercepted, 90 percent of them. oh yes no absolutely. ready not i heard you are speaking to that, but a cindy and she had spokesperson and her and clearly saw me. it is not even intended to do so. the palestinians in garza are simply defending themselves. they're not there at this point in time to liberate palestine or in the haughty what they have done. over the last few days, as they've done in previous wars, and garza was to re establish what, what, what one could call

a balance of terror with his red. that's why i thought you were right. you were correct to say what you are also shooting god. but you know, it is really a civilian population, just as israel has been more bardeen that has been attacking civilian population centers in garza and the west bank and so on. so what are the seniors are doing? are trying, trying to re establish some sort of a balance of terror if one could call it that way. and i hate that expression by the way, but be that as it may, it is war is a war of attrition, sometimes in some level. and that better simians are pushing israel to send its citizens to the shutters. of course, there are no shelters in garza, but certainly a small palestinian faction was able to exactly establish a balance. but try to establish that kind of a balance of that with isn't and that was the intention, certainly not liberating palestine bought ending a party. i, thanks so much my one,

be shout over i spring, you some breaking news that's coming into us from pakistan. report say the cup, i top commander of the pakistani tony bon, a good wiley mohammed has been killed in neighbouring afghanistan. mohammed was on the state department's wanted list. san binge of 8 is live for us in cobble now. so what can you tell us about this? well, this would be a major blow to the pakistani alibi known as the greek. it's on the ball park, a sun or t, t p by its acronym. because over a highly profound he was a senior lead to long standing commander for the group. somebody who was known for his brutality for his tactics, not just on the battlefield, but on social media, is when he started off his career as a, as a journalist for a local organization in park sun. and then moved on to become this feared leader

among this group overhead. funny death. it's, it's slightly suspicious because he has been reported dead at least half a dozen times before. and at least 3 drawn strikes have been reported. be taken. carried out to try and take him out. so it is yet to be confirmed by the box on the taliban. the spokesman wrote to me saying that it is a declaration that is going to be announced later about the martyrdom of the leader, but not confirming or denying whether he be killed and obviously according to local media report, he's been killed with 2 other important commanders. it is important to know the context of all of this semi as well because this comes on the heels of the united states, claiming that it is carried out an attack here in the capital cobble killing, the leader with the end of the sun. the 30 thought about bugging on is among other international groups which have been alleged to have been operating inside of gone territory. that includes is not mixed rocket, the live on ice and k includes that was because done is that make movement and that

he gets out of pocket fun along with that. so there is, this is going to be another, another blow to the dollar bonds as oceans that there are no foreign groups operating on it's soil and assurances that it has been trying to give its neighbors . that i've done. soil is not going to be used to stage attacks or harbor any others, but we're still waiting for the t t p or that he gets out of pocket and to confirm the killing of it's the, the omaha for us on, on because of their from sound been very thanks for that. taiwan is condemning china's decision to extend its military drills around the island in defiance of calls to end them. aging, conducted more anti submarine and naval operations. on monday, the military exercises began when taiwan hosted u. s. how speak and nancy pelosi last week. they were due to end on sunday. china's foreign ministry has defended those military exercises. journalists, patrick falk, is in beijing with the details which on his foreign ministry certainly didn't want

elaborates on any further detail about the continuation of drills. but when asked about the daily press briefing here in beijing spokesperson one, when been simply said that the military has already issued a statement and referred reports as to that. that statement issued by the police eastern theater commands said that the exercises would focus on anti submarine drills as well as c assault drills. but it didn't say where exactly they were taking place or how long this might all last. so this really does create further concern and uncertainty about the situation, not least because taiwan had said previously that airlines had resumed normal operations over its air space. so we're not sure there's going to be him packed on that. and we're not sure it will impact ships sailing through the taiwan straits either. but one thing that was notable in particular was one when bin was pressed on whether china had alerted at relevant parties about these drills in accordance
