2:03 pm
a refugee company at annapolis. now, according to the nobliss governor, they say that people have started to take the body in this agreement of what they've been agreed with. they've agreed upon when it comes to the funeral procession. so they had to contain the situation and they've shopped tear gas to kind of contain the problem. but we know from experience that palestinian authority, security forces do not want him as flags to be raised in the main cities in big processions. they don't want to give back exposure to high math. so there is the sense of a clashing between the palestinian security forces on him as they want to show that they have control over the scene in the west bank. they don't want to come out to be operating because we've been seeing a lot of armed men taking up arms here. and janine, and in nablus fighting the israeli army when they entered palestinian cities or even when they are stationed and illegal is really supplements or checkpoints,
2:04 pm
but for the palestinian, the 4th, it's important to show that they've still had that they still have a grip on the situation, but here in jeanine it's a different scene. people are mourning the killing of the, the 6 palestinians who had killed overnight or last nights. and 4 of them would relate to rest here in virginia and our fiji count cemetery were talking about 73. that was thing is we were killed in the palestinian territory since the beginning of the year bought less than 30 would kill here in jeannine alone. so need to just remind us how we got to head to these funerals of palestinians in janine also being held in nablus. what lead to this on tuesday is really who says of rated the genie refugee camp and killed 6 palestinians. now again, this is a place with palestinian fight. they're there stationed in,

2:06 pm
they're taking up arms and they're fighting israel. and we've been speaking to some of them here and jeanine today, they say that although israel has the military power, has a lot of advancement when it comes to its technologies, that these people are caught between 2 options, either surrendering or whiting. and people here are telling us that the fight will continue. okay, need abraham, joining us that from jeanine, thank you for bringing to picture the and jeanine, and that you can also see enough us both in the occupied westbank as manas lay to rest. a number of palestinians who were killed and as rarely rates on choose date. nita, thanks very much. ah, intelligence being reviewed by us officials suggests a pro ukrainian group may have carried out an attack on the nord stream pipelines
2:07 pm
last year. that's according to us and german media reports the natural gas pipelines, link russia to western europe. the u. s. and nato both described the explosion as an act of sabotage. moscow blames the west kremlin spokesman dmitri pet covers dismissed the reports and the conclusions were reached without investigation. or another investigation by german media outlets. reports that a group of saboteurs set sail in a yacht from the northern german town of rostock, 3 weeks before the explosions is that the vessel was rented by ukrainian owned company and stopped at another german port before being traced to the tiny danish island. of course john, so close to the location of the explosions and the leaks. ukraine has denied any involvement in the sabotage. for me, it's a little bit strange story because it's not you distorted with nothing with us. and i think they're to lose the geisha official authorities will describe every details
2:08 pm

2:11 pm
the georgia president expressed her support for the protesters is gone. always, always hot. no one needed this look. it came from nowhere, but maybe it was dictated from moscow. it needs to go. it needs to be repealed any way you want. i said from the 1st day that i would feature this law and i will deter it with parliament able to overturn a presidential veto and the law passing its 1st reading comfortably. protesters see no choice but to keep pressuring politicians from the streets. pretty a car, how to 0, that center breaking story that we're hearing out of pakistan where supporters of the ousted prime minister m. wrong con. have been arrested in law and confrontations with police officers, a head of can't planned election rally. but just alice before the rally authorities of imposed a ban on all demonstrations and last large gatherings, which would last for a week. that's good luck to come, i'll hydro can explain all of this for us. he's in the whole festival. can all tell

2:15 pm
on bog, which is not very far from where we, i mentioned i've got the political, a grid rep in the address gear, guys, chairs. i know been you didn't ward again that are all cooked are make your decision that some get me go that been make into that water in order to prevent people from gathering in that area. when it's on the sounds like a story, we need to keep an eye on over the coming hours and we will do so come off the moment. thanks very much. now chris is facing another round of mass strikes and nationwide protests after a deadly train accent killed $57.00 people. last week, thousands of workers have walked off the job, protest as a questioning why the government has failed to pursue safety reforms. your motion with the minimum, i'm very angry and not just with someone in particular with every one they should never have happened. everyone should be held accountable from the lowest to the
2:16 pm
highest. even. i'm responsible that i didn't react, said this would never happen. ultima, you know that most of them will move you to know them. of course i'm angry. how could i not be? it's not just the accident. it's everything else as well. and a lot of things have been building up so people have really reached their limits. are you going to be part of human? it's logical that that would be angle within society. but i believe during these moments silence is the best option. oh john, throw up last, joins us now from athens and john, the transport minister has been speaking about this. what did he have to say? hey, laura, we heard that this government had inherited a situation in which only 1818 percent of the railway network had been installed with automated safety systems that could have prevented the february 28th train collision. and during the tenure of the last 3 and
2:17 pm
a half years of this government, that percentage has risen to 7070 percent. and they are trying to fulfill the contracts by the end of the year that our expediting, the process. and the prime minister spoke personally with the chairman of al storm and france, which is providing this equipment to try and accelerate the delivery rate. but the fact is that on the night of the accident, the local systems in laira station where the train left from were in operation and would have enabled the station master to see that the train had left the station north bound on the south bound track. so evidently that system wasn't being consulted and that raises questions about the extent to which railway personnel had been trained on the system and were heating the system. tragically, the larissa equipment was isolated because of network problems from the rest of the country. so nobody else could see what the station monster could have seen. if he
2:18 pm
cared to see it. laura delma sang pictures of protests already under way we can see and hear lots of people behind you. what's the me like the in the capitol? the mood is very chance and has been for a long time a railway services are on strike throughout the country for 6 straight days today. because railway workers also angry about the fact that the system is not safe, especially the train drivers themselves who are in danger. as much as the passengers i'm here we're seeing a loss of protestors gathering full what is i think setting up to be a major protest today including a including union members from all the public sector. the entire public sector is on stripe. and so there's a lot of different kinds of employees that we're going to see down here today,
2:19 pm
not necessarily connected to transpose over the railed network. i think that there's a lot of anger. there's a lot of anger against this government. some people also blaming previous governments for non implementation of these safety systems contracts. the fact that there is a sense here that the state is incompetent. politicians are not behaving responsibly . there's a loss of faith in democracy. there's lots of faith in the political system is a disillusionment with the level of transparency and accountability in the country . there's a great deal of anger from the private sector which perhaps isn't being expressed here today. but you can certainly hear it if you talk to people who don't time to come to these st. martin's. so there is tension. okay, well, this is another story we'll be following closely today. but from the moment john softness, thanks very much. cilla had hair on out to sarah,
2:20 pm
we were forcing on the syrians whose lives were shattered by last month, devastating earthquakes and our un, unable to recover all rebuild muscle, thirties in the philippines race to contain the environmental damage of a large oil spill. this threatening, coastal communities ah, in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world to try right extremely, there is real and need to be tackled as soon as possible informed opinions why is the sale of position concerned about this rather small between turkey anthea rose and i'm really room to lose your 30, this is and so forth. frank assessments, you know, that was a joke about the interim government or it's not in for him, nor does it got inside story on al jazeera, a legacy of southern africa, colonial history. far more
2:21 pm
a blend of traditional music with western instrument, i can guide all the villages of the suitable. now echoes in apartheid disused mines where a new illegal gold rush has taken. old guy has organized crime, gangs battle for control of this lucrative industry. huge that started in song too often and, and bloodshed. the accordion wars on a jazeera, we understand the differences, familiarities have culture across the world. so no matter how you take it out, you 0. we're bringing the news and current affairs cut matter to you. count his arrow lou. ah,
2:22 pm

2:23 pm
february's to devastating earthquakes has been inadequate. they blame it on a lack of funding to meet the needs of people who are already struggling after 12 years of war. then a hot reports is going to go eat. time has done little to heal the wounds. the earthquakes that devastated war ravaged towns and cities and syria have robbed its people of what little they had left. the challenges ahead involve rebuilding what was destroyed. hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless in both government and rebel held territories. while worsening. the displacement crisis and the opposition controlled northwest enclave was so me hung with people with choice to live in. the area is what i see over trousers with more media people on condition. the needs are great in the region where
2:24 pm
4000000 people were dependent on aid before the natural disaster. but aid agencies say help has been slow and adequate. they blamed this partly on the lack of funding without which the ability to respond will be limited. we cannot skate to the level of needs, mostly because we lack funding. and because also coordination structures that we're responding to, not with cd before being in turkey and most of them have been selected to earthly syria was already among the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world. and so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on
2:25 pm
a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the addition of 2 border crossings for you and 8. access was a good start. but at the 3 month window that you know they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to north west syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal not a political response. an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived. the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start setting up other areas. ito, moreland, here's on the coast guard, and the philippines are trying to clean up a large oil spell that reached the beaches of men. daughter island was caused by an oil leak from a sunken tanker which was carrying industrial oil on a be low has more for manila,
2:26 pm
the mapping vessel of the environment department on monday evening. i said that they have located the general area of where the oil 10 care has sunk, but that's just a general area. the problem is that it has sunk an estimated 400 meters down into the sea. that's taller than the i pulled power unreachable by technical divers. and so now they need a submersible machine to be able to siphoned off the oil that's still leaking from the oil tanker and the government doesn't have that. now. the owner of the ship has already listed the services of a private company, so we expect that's a burst of the machine. so arrived in the philippines in the coming based the u. s . and japan also expressing their willing desk to help contain the oil spill authorities. are say that this is going to take a very, very long time. there was an oil spill that in $26.00 of the island of the morass.
2:27 pm
also in the central philippines, that one was 600000 leaders of industrial fuel that took almost 2 years to clean up . and so this 1800000 leader is probably going to take a little more now, good luck and have fun. that's the mission of an american company. breaking new ground in space, exploration for as of as he space is launching the world's 1st 3 d printed rocket into space. later on wednesday, stephanie decker report. it's a historic 1st looking to the future and worthy of space. 85 percent of the rocket by maps sitting on the bed right now is 3. you printed up but no. the rocket prior to this is the highest percent interest. probably. i don't know. maybe 4 percent 30 printed by mass, so it's a huge step change. and as such, we need to prove that a 3 d printed rocket can survive the environments of a rocket flight. the company says it's 3 d version is cheaper and quicker to
2:28 pm
produce than conventional rockets you. $33.00 and a half meters long and nearly 2 and a half meters wide. the rocket has arrived at the launch pad in florida. cape canaveral the mission has been named. good luck have fun and essentially will test whether the 3 d printed rocket can reach and survive or bit a global 1st. so far everything's looking great. the team has, you know, has gone through the major reviews that they need to as the, as we had and to launch the, the weather outlook is looking quite positive. if successful it could in future provide a launch vehicle for commercial satellites. the much anticipated lift off will take place on wednesday at $1800.00 g m t. that's one p. m, florida time. potentially marking a new era in 3 d printing and space travel. stephanie decker,
2:29 pm
i'll g 0. and that's it for me, laura. kyle, the news does continue here on al jazeera. that's off the inside story. say when ah, it's feeling more like summer across a huge swath of china. those details right here right now. so from the yellow river valley down to the pearl river, valley temperature's way out. of whack here, while above where they should be young jo at 30 degrees as the temperature we'd expect to see in june or july. also high temperatures for the korean peninsula in japan as well. now we've got something going over the open water here. that's the situation on thursday. press play, see where that goes on fridays plans into honju, also snow over the higher ground in hawkeye, them now for india who's got storms,
2:30 pm
the potential for them anyway, stretching from westbank all into maharaj dry and the temperatures are also going up here as well. same goes for a southern pakistan, karachi, look at this, we've got in for 37 degrees on thursday, and we've got active weather pretty much up against that border with iraq and iran . so through the zak gross mountains, we could see some blizzard conditions here. off to the middle east, we go right now and it's southerly. wind means those temperatures are being pumped up, but also seen the sand and dust spin around the eastern province of saudi through weight as well. and so if we look at some of his temperatures ob adobe, 36 degrees for you on thursday, that's it. that's all we'll see you soon. take care. ah, well jesse revolt takes a road trip across spain.
