demonstrators in the gaza strip as thousands of palestinians for six weeks of protests called the medicine group hamas the palestinian health ministry says at least twelve demonstrators have been killed and hundreds injured. clashes erupted soon after thousands of palestinians started building tent cities on the gaza side of the border to israel. there marking a number of historic events the expulsion of palestinians in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight which helped create the israeli state the deaths of six arab israelis in demonstrations in one thousand nine hundred eighty six and the scheduled opening of the us embassy in jerusalem in may so. our palestinian nation assures today that we will never accept all the conspiracies targeting jerusalem and blocking the right of return. israel has doubled its military presence on the border similar protests in recent months have led to clashes that cost multiple deaths israel called the protests

a dangerous provocation and said that hamas will vary sponsibility for any violence . the first casualty came even before the protests got underway israel's military said soldiers opened fire on two men who approached the border and acted suspiciously during the night one man was killed and another wounded the slain man's brother said he was a farmer. he went there every day to pick pursley in the morning. he's been working there for six or seven years. nothing ever happened to him when the jews started shooting. time i do not know. the protests the great march of return and says they will culminate on may fifteenth with a march across the border to break the siege and end the gas a blockade israel has warned that it will defend the border more bloodshed and sorra seem almost inevitable.

from the border with gaza welcome to bring us up to date. yes i feel i mean as you said i'm standing here just a couple of hundred meters behind be to the border with gaza and we've been hearing all day the ambulances there also the chants of the protesters been hearing also shooting israel has made very clear in the past couple of days in the lead up to these protests that we're on land day to day that's what palestinians usually commemorate the third is. that they would not tolerate that protesters come close to the border that they would not tolerate that any protest it would try to preach the border and they said they would hold would hold hamas who sponsible for any such peace and that's why we're also seeing today the high number of casualties the ministry of houses says that over seven hundred people are injured more than that

and also the casualties that people been hearing today these protests are being called the march of return tell us about what is being planned and what they're trying to achieve. well from what we understand the organizers in gaza these are grassroots organizations young people and they've got to back the backing of all the political factions including hamas who is seen by israel was taking the lead in these protests but protesters say this is supposed to be a non violent protests they want to set up tents over the past. next you know over the past month until the fifteenth of may a nakba day when the palestinians commemorate nine hundred forty eight when they had to flee from their lands now israel is celebrating this year the pounding of the state seventy years old with all these memorial days this coming up in this month and they're saying they want to set up ten cities about seven hundred meters from the border way where families

older people are to old and young people should stay and highlight the plight of palestinian refugees but also to highlight the situation in gaza which has been closed off by israel egypt for the past ten years people can hardly travel there or kind of his tricks and so they want to highlight that situation as well with this protest honestly. sad but these protests are supposed to be a part of a new peaceful strategy so what has gone wrong. well this didn't clearly a work out today the organizers said they want to see a nonviolent protest but you see the high number of casualties and also the high number of injured people at the same time is spent has made very clear that whoever comes close to the border and there is a buffer zone about one hundred meters into the palestinian side so whoever would preach at this border would be shot at and that is what happened with all kind of

you know with all kind of ways also to disperse the protesters so we have to wait and see how these protests will continue but already the high number of casualties doesn't look very good and this is usual for israeli troops to use live ammunition . yes it is we've seen in the past couple of months there have been protests ever since the u.s. announced a move of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and there have been a lot of protests yet every friday on the gaza border and there has always been a nation that has been used but we've also seen it in the occupied west bank that life on the mission has been used against protesters tony kraemer thank you. a russia has announced more diplomatic expulsions in the route of the poisoning of a former russian spy today twenty three countries were told to send fifty nine stuff home in addition to the sixty american diplomats expelled on thursday it is

the latest move in the standoff over the poisoning of the former double agent a surrogate script pal and his daughter in britain many western countries hold russia responsible despite moscow's repeated denials. there's been a constant stream of ambassadors at moscow's foreign ministry several e.u. countries were told some of their diplomats were being sent home in response to russian diplomats being expelled the german ambassador stressed the importance of bilateral relations. there in view of the diary vention salsbury also the russian government is called on to do everything it can to create clarity and transparency and answers justified unresolved questions about. four german embassy staff have to leave russia the same number of diplomats berlin has expelled the united kingdom is being hit harder the crisis began on british soil by the poisoning of sergei screwball and his daughter in salisbury britain

holds russia accountable for that and has convinced twenty five western nations to expel a total of one hundred fifty russian diplomats out of solidarity with its position . is the use of a chemical weapon on the streets of the united kingdom that has threatened the lives of a number of people in my country we all suffer and questions of the russian state and we have still not received adequate since to those questions russia has emphatically denied any involvement and is demanding evidence from british authorities. more or less from constant in the fall not agates in moscow welcome constantly so both sides have now expelled diplomats is that the end of this. no i don't think so i think we'll see a continuation of this tug of war first of all with the american side say that they are completely dissatisfied with russia's response and reserve the right to respond

so it's going to be tit tat and then again and other tit and then there's one thing that i would like to highlight. r.t. russia's state propaganda channel has been kicked off major cable providers packages in the us and the east coast start seeing the first of april so i expect some kind of retaliation against us media in russia. moscow of course says this is nothing to do with us and they've said that union script they want access to the russian citizen what do you make of that request to say. well first of all the question is whether you'll escape pod it would like to see russian cost of the ica's and secondly i think it's the continuation of moscow's line which is as was highlighted in your report that russia has nothing to do with it essentially russian citizens suffer in an unprovoked or mysterious attack and

because of that it's also excess has been best to be insured to miscreate fall and this group of family generally so it's a continuation of this line we have nothing to do with it and in this respect it's pretty logical what they say despite the comparisons that have been made to the us entering the so cold war times lots of countries are saying well we want to keep talking to the russians regardless of what is going on the doesn't seem like some of the western side has an appetite to escalate this conflict. i think that as a western side in the western side and wait look strong is that actually the united states or over rather the u.k. and the united states appreciate sort of cool about containing this confrontation and jacking up the volume of this stand up while of course europe germany as

they really want to stop at some point comparisons with cold war well you know they are they have a bit precarious because of course the cold war was a confrontation between two ideologies first and foremost of all here's there's much less of that however was i think it's very different from from the days of the cold war is that the whole rulebook is thrown out of the window what happened in the u.k. couldn't be explained in the cold war terms so i think that what we see we end this period of pride and confrontation in which there are there are no rules if you want to comparison you know the cold war was more a boxing match while while the current situation looks more like mixed martial arts . constantine found that i got it moscow thank you. now as take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the czech republic has extradited a russian man to the united states to face charges of hacking into computers major

current production of twenty one point five billion cubic meters to twelve billion but the long term goal is to shut it down entirely by twenty thirty. but the ordeal of us acted judgment was that it's really not thiers even at the level of twelve billion cubic meters so that means action had to be taken with your payment not racial name and although the majority of dutch households use gas from the field burning in residents have called for the end to production there as the low level tremors that caused damage upon homes schools and farms the gas field has been operating for more than five decades its closure will involve major efforts to keep supply covered this includes a five hundred million euro gas generation plant as well as a campaign to promote more electricity use in dutch households. cooking on gas to putting your foot on the gas a tesla whose recalling one hundred twenty three thousand of its model s. vehicles worldwide making it the company's biggest ever recall affected model s.

re-entry and it probably won't cause any damage well chris scott is a space scientist at the university of reading in england welcome chris so it's falling back to earth and it's out of control tell us why. well with any spacecraft they're all bit at a low earth orbit so it's the space goes currently at around one hundred ninety kilometers and so that's still well within the earth's atmosphere even though it's quite thin up there is still has enough to gradually slow down that spacecraft through friction and eventually if you don't let it kind of rockets it will fall back to earth so why is out of control. well the chinese space agency were hoping to carry out a controlled reentry put it somewhere so it made sure it landed somewhere in a very remote part of the southern ocean but then lost contact with it and two thousand and sixteen and since then it's been tumbling out of control of the fact

that it's tumbling means that it's very difficult to predict this atmospheric drag on the spacecraft and so it makes knowing where and when it's going to come down more difficult to predict until the very last moment ok and when you say the very last moment the last moment we were talking. probably within an hour before it comes down we'll know have a much better idea of where it's going to land and now it doesn't get any of us much of a chance to run it can you give us a steer us to where in the world ought to be worrying well the spacecraft all bit takes it between forty two point seven degrees and latitude north and south so that takes it over the northern parts of south america. north and parts of africa and western australia is where it's come is that the land at the moment but although it's several tons of the moment most of that is expected to be burnt up in the atmosphere as it comes down and there will be perhaps experts are thinking maybe

one and a half to three tons of material reaching the ground but that's spread over an enormous day be filled at maybe a hundred kilometers so it's not going to come down in one big lump yet but it's still drop out of the sky at approximately how fast is this stuff going to be travelling. well it's certainly going to be traveling it to terminal speed as it comes down through the atmosphere most of the orbital track covers the oceans i mean the planet earth is a very blue planet as we know and so the most likely place for it to fall will be in the ocean so. there is a finite chance that it will fall down over and over land but whether that land is going to be populated and and whereabouts it would fall is impossible to predict at the moment as a matter of interest what was it doing up there. it was china's first manned space station it really was quite a remarkable thing for the chinese space agency and it was the first the vehicle in

space it was launched unmanned it was visited by six astronauts over its lifetime and as with the early apollo missions it was there to practice docking and maneuvering and transfer of personnel and cargo as well as actually housing the astronauts and enable him to learn about how you survive in space ok we'll just have to cross our fingers and buy a hard hat thank you for talking us through that chris got. sierra leone goes to the polls on saturday in a closely watched a presidential runoff vote in the west african nation was pushed back after a court challenge over fraud allegations in the first round the country's fragile return to democracy after a civil war was tested by a devastating ebola outbreak in twenty forty our west africa correspondent andrea and creech reports from the capital freetown and yes you know what yes for the past four weeks dolly ninety three children have become used to makeshift outdoor

ministry as moscow announces the expulsion of fifty nine that much from twenty three countries it's the latest round in the standoff over the poisoning of a former russian double agents in britain. a saudi arabia is known as one of the world's most conservative countries but things may be changing because of oil falling prices of hit the oil rich kingdom haad crown prince mohammed bin sama house unveiled an ambitious reform program. known as a vision twenty thirty aimed at transforming the kingdom's economy reforms include diversifying the economy and reducing its dependence on oil creating new jobs and making the country less reliant on foreign workers and attracting more foreign investment the king has also taken some steps towards social reform starting with lifting some of the oppressive restrictions on women are the driving ban women will finally be allowed to drive later this year the w.c. funny fisher has been to saudi arabia to take

a look at what the crown prince's vision for the future means for the country. funny though welcome for the shah joins us from the city of jeddah in saudi arabia you've been there for a few weeks now do you get the impression that society that is changing. if you look at the most visible changes film all of the fact that people are able to join a concert something as normal as joining a concert like in the rest of the world is just becoming new here in fact you go and join a public open in a concert but are from these visible changes what i find most intriguing that people here on the ground are ready and willing to actually to to talk about social changes to debate social change what does it mean for our mad that women are ready to take the hats scarf off what does it mean to so women who are not ready at all to take that has caused off and it is this process that is the most intriguing that

this country is all going through right now and it is so exciting to watch but also to reports about as and that support is going to show you will see that change and the level of freedom is nonetheless very much to the context of the still a conservative country that's not going to change overnight how about change is possible largely depends on the individual on your own faith and also of course on the willingness of a male relatives visit a family to give up control when it comes to decision making of females. it's a small but significant change many women these days with their apply us the news even in the young saudi arabia's ultra conservative capital or connected to one and vicious agenda he was the planting of billboards like this one portraying a young and dynamic face prince mohammed bin saw him on you know he was three brand

the image of the country as an open. modern kingdom but the question is will the population accept changes and wish and from top down. the majority of the population is young most of them are nothing more than religious extremists began to enforce restrictions on the country tame and soccer is accepted and these teenagers want me to join them but they are not yet willing to accept everything women can play soccer they tell me. i have to wear a headscarf and his friends tells us. so because you know the culture in saudi arabia driving is only for men. not here in the desert it's not women have come here not far from riyadh to learn to drive for that change can not happen fast enough they are hungry to get behind the wheel in every respect.

you want freedom for women and normal life it begins with driving but a lot will have to follow. in saudi arabia is divided over how much to change and how soon the country is at a crossroads i mean. she became known as the woman who resisted the driving ban in the ninety's is more change in the way she sounds. but however it isn't about the soccer or isn't really about just women driving it is the impact it has in our core value and the change that comes with it and then this social structure change with with the structure of the power only. psychologist her patients tell her about all the sudden changes impact family.

within this transition phase we're seeing the young adults are actually negotiating . with their parents have a male or female if it was a female she's negotiating whether she wants to unveil her friends negotiating whether she needs to take a particular job that has men and women working together or even traveling so there's a lot of negotiation within the family how much change becomes acceptable doesn't only differ between families but also between cities things are moving faster in jetta than in the real jetta is a move to cultural see most music concerts take place here people are still has a tent only a few they are to move in the music adapt and change direction from the top down takes time. but to find a shot joins so from just funny it's a swiss resort in the film bad lots of these reforms affects women you've been

there for a few weeks now how free are saudi women. if you look at the report that we have just seen of course women are very ecstatic to overjoyed by this pure fact that they will be able to drive very soon but at the same time of course they also express some concern that every woman is going to enjoy those freedoms when it comes to driving for example when it comes to pick a job that they really want to pick regardless of whether it was deemed decent or not in the past and this logic has to do with the guardianship system itself that god has should rule that women are not allowed to do certain things basic things for example to travel the delta male guardian to open a banking account the alt a male guardian and as long as this guardianship system is in place all these freedoms that are being beginning to unfold are going to be limited to basically two women who are viewed in the felly the male is approving those changes and is of

proving that the women is enjoying this new freedoms and let's talk about clothing i see you are wearing a buyer sort of clothes and women are also required to wear headscarves tell us more about the changes that are happening that. there was a highly debated statement that in the us in an interview on the u.s. channel by the crown prince mom had been so not. being decent or being dressed decent he doesn't necessarily mean to wear a black headscarf or a black abaya it was so interesting to talk about this statement with women some of the women i've spoken to said maybe that only means that i can change the color of the volume and the headscarf but it doesn't necessarily mean that i can take it off so you realize that there's a lot of. debate what it really means these change and women individual are going to decide within the realm of this entire society that is you know it's a conservative just hope far they are going to push the envelope so far yes you do

see women also if you don't have stuff but very rarely especially in the capital city of saudi arabia in the out which is much more could do if things get out there i am now where mitt rio where you will see money money moment did all that stuff. and thank you. a second look at some sports nice especially cation what i found by a unique approach dortmund squared off this time all the more so by on half a chance to secure the bonus league title if results elsewhere in the league go that way the game known as deck classic hospital billed as a clash of two titans but aspiring pilot the title says becoming less and less of a fair fight. wouldn't. woodbine since two thousand and ten it's been an either or proposition the two clubs have kept the bundesliga title between themselves the last five seasons though it's been advantaged by or is even the black and yellow hat for the rivalry we'll see. which was eaten on

by and see it as a requirement to be the best team and they've delivered our goal at the moment is to be the second best team and we're not there yet but you have to do something new to. in other words dortmund still have their work cut out for them while for buyers clinching the title is only a matter of time. secondary if we win the title this week or next week or the week after next i'm taking a relaxed attitude there disconsolate. the defending champs might be tempted to go into this edition of. at less than full throttle they've got the first leg of a champions league quarter final on tuesday to contend with. so this game is the beginning of a crucial phase for us when we're going to be playing at midweek and on the weekend virtually every week getting a win on saturday we get that run off to

a very good start. and with a little bit of luck a win would earn buy in the bundesliga title and a beer shower come may. take a close look at the classic i mean do the rest of this weekend's bundesliga actually jonathan quite welcome jonathan. by and will they wrap up the title tomorrow i think we can expect them to keep their into the bargain feel they've beaten and twice already this season in the league in the cup but not i need to buy and that's when they also need to drop points. which is a bit less likely but we all know this is a case of when and not if when the ties of the so far ahead of me have you. in the piece they've got bigger fish to fry at the moment they've got one eye on severe in the champions league on shoes day and we saw a couple of weeks ago in leipzig. several key players i think six insights including a front group in your picture. of the strife it's to say i think you probably do

the same again tomorrow but even a second string probably going to be too good for dortmund and how important is this gave the door opened and that coach peter usually important to dortmund because they're looking to secure one of the four champions league places you need to finish in the top four that's in the moment but it's very very close to the top three points separate second place for a mass six price and we don't mean knocked out of the europa league this is really last chance to impress the board and keep his job because remember like he's any contract until the end of the season for it to be a cat say by in a desperate to keep hold of this position at dortmund slightly less secure though he's on beasts and in two. well of been his legal game six ounce very impressive he's galvanized the seed they haven't fortune in a bit in recent performances and economy afford to sit back against by and we saw in the cup in december they were two no down at half time because they sat back and

they were forced to go for it in the second half and actually they looked all the better for doing that he'll need to do the same again to marie what else is there so look forward to this weekend while it's quite nice at the top of the table or gap starting to appear at the bottom hamburg looking increasingly do you remember they've never been out to the been this league they travelled to stuttgart we can have won five of their last six looking very good and it's hyphen kolker the new manager cologne also have a tricky match the way it hoffenheim hoffenheim another form seems so that gives my chance might could pull away from the automatic relegation places they face. jonathan craig did a useful thank you. so back to business now and uganda has new economic plans which they hope will really take off that's a bit of a clue for you that virgin atlantic owner richard branson once quit that if you want to be a millionaire start with

a billion and then launch an ad line well uganda is hoping that that doesn't apply to then they're investing four hundred million dollars to revive the national airline the aim is to boost tourism and attract foreign business but economists are warning the government against the risky investment. uganda entebbe international airport is a busy hop. over one point five million passengers go through here. the numbers are growing and government wants a portion of board the state owned uganda airlines that it is trying to revive i think what government is now doing is setting up a fully fledged world class company that's going to look at things like human resource like. airplanes like landing facilities like. engineering facilities grown hundred but more business says how is this

company would be managed uganda airlines was one of uganda post-colonial investments founded in one thousand nine hundred seventy six. the airline operated successfully and didn't go to heaven ended forcing its liquidation in two thousand and one. plans to restore it a strongly criticised home. you're running going to want easy it is one of the difficult. companies. competitions or whatever you want to call them to run you will require very tough and very well experienced people and no politics should go into running any other. it must be run strictly on business. the government hopes to post to ars him with a national carrier. but economists are questioning the timing for the four hundred

million dollars investment that coincides with a heavy public expenditure so you see a government that is struggling amid this declining revenues so even if you had to set a nadir that i want to start my airline industry is supposed to have time to rethink the taming and i think the major driver of this is sentiment so i think the sentimental things need to give way to logical thinking over a business case and i'm going to say if one pause to put that on the table the idea for uganda alums would not sustain itself. according to the international air transport association the african obvious industry is worth about eighty billion dollars an employee's close to seven million people. but commercial version has not been profitable for many governments struggling to stay in the skies this has left africa airlines dominate more than seventy percent of routes connecting

the continent to the rest of the water. today marks the two hundredth birthday of free delicious vilhelm rough isn't the german who founded the rural co-operative movement of credit unions fisons co-op banking model has in spread to many other industries and it's still the in use in farming today. these two families members of germany's oldest co-operative in one thousand nine hundred eighty their forefathers banded together and started a cooperative that built and operated a flour mill one farmer could not have done it alone. in the grain from our region the all mountains is very coarse it was difficult to sell to nearby dresden there was very little profit so they said we need our own mill so we can process the grain and then we can make the bread as well. as for. the mill and the bakery have ensured a thriving business for the farmers for many years now some seventeen businesses

are now part of this successful cooperative. the idea of the cooperative goes back to free trish vilhelm hif. in the mid nineteenth century he promoted it as a way of becoming the poverty faced by farmers in his region festival. since then the idea has spread to other parts of the economy new industries like sustainable energy have also adopted the model for most cooperative work on a majority basis all members can have this say regardless of their stake. in the continent vote is a small when decisions have to be made to get everyone's opinion has equal weight. that applies to the world's largest corporative gone in spain it has around seventy five thousand members eighty percent of whom a joint owners as with any business cooperatives like monder gone can suffer in times of crisis but because all members have an equal say they usually avoid mass

layoffs this is. still a private company it has to be profitable but the number one goal is always to support the members so there are always two sets of objective to consider economic objectives and social ones. for co-ops it's not just about the bottom line. and maybe that's why they often outlast private companies that are generally profit driven. from profit to all conjecture now it's time for our culture. swiss architect motherboard is a defining force in modern architecture and a crisp out of every sixty years he has designed dozens of projects all over the world from detached houses to spas and cathedrals a new exhibition of his work has opened in the congo switzerland on the first of

april he will turn seventy five the kind of help from our culture desk is here to tell us more a wealth of thanks joe why is mario books so special and useful well you know a lot of architects can say that they were inspired by the masters of the modern movement but as one of the lucky few see day who can actually say that he looked was able to learn directly from the masters themselves so he went to venice first of all and studied under. a great italian architect and then he was mentored by the likes of lacrosse and the american art architect louis kohn so he was able to experiment with their methods and then the stablished his own approach in terms of of sort of transforming the history the social history of a place into physical structure and such that in architectural circles he's really considered to be quite unique in his own way so let's have a quick look at the kinds of things that he does. who would have thought that

a church could look like this it's the chapel of santa maria deli actually and to chino the architect is mario potter. a sixty five metre long viaduct leads to the round chapel a building like an amphitheater. just as unusual the church of sun falta in the italian city of turin. and the cathedral of if near paris. an overview of potus designs is currently on exit and look out switzerland. here to the panel couldn't see the architect just speaks to us through its silence he prays the no prayer in these sacred spaces of silence have a very expressive power. they embody the idea of gravity the idea of light the form of transition but. these are the very principles of aga tech.

mario bot has set an example in the mountain village of manju in the ninety's and the avalanche had buried the village and nine hundred eighty six but designed the modern chapel of sun giovani but to stop. the church has a decorative chessboard pattern and is a site for visitors far beyond the reach of the marble and granite come from the nearby patchy our valley. a few that they seem pretty thin architecture is always in dialogue with the landscape. the architecture is never auto referential like a sculpture. but it was alongst to the geographical location but also to its culture and the. history of the place mean more.

creative as ever today he's working on a mosque in china on the border with mongolia and a christian church and south korea near seoul. at seventy five is far from being his design plans to rest. he's looking out the very building he does seem to have called. buildings where he hasn't done an awful lot of churches that's for sure and they are some of his best known buildings but he's also branched out into sacred buildings for other religions for instance like the mosque that we saw there he's even done a synagogue the symbolists a synagogue it's called in tel aviv which if we can have a look at it here just for the couple of pictures uses is very think of red brick and cylindrical forms not. big fan of very strong geometric forms and simple spaces but he has also done

a lot of projects for secular buildings you can see one of his most famous here the san francisco museum of modern art contrasting sharply with the vertical surroundings and that's got another truncated cylinder that's. open i now this is the wellness always in a rose a switzerland using more natural forms there in this kind of openness to the surrounding nature it is also very typical for him this is another example of the mountain restaurant. that's on this with the tele and border that means flower of stone quite literally and it has this incredible panoramic view which we just saw there you can have your dinner up there and that's brought a sort of a typically monumental structure to the area where he actually grew up and there's some very impressive buildings you talk about his career sixty years he's seventy five if you. do the math that's right i think he's he's not only a natural talent but he's someone who who. very early on knew his calling he actually designed his first house when he was sixteen years old that was

a two family house in his hometown of chino and growing up in the mountains i think he established very early this this idea of the relationship that architecture architecture can have with the surrounding nature so he says that houses played a fundamental part in his training because he really learned how to shape spaces for the needs of people thought his his building has has remained throughout his career really quite autobiographical actually he's also found an academy of architecture in the inman that easy oh where he's from and so he's giving his. inspiring a younger generation of architects is doing what the master stood for him and this exhibition is in the collar and it starts out in oh he starts it in fact it's more of the it's not just pass we will be updating it on his birthday which isn't something you have to do be don't go forward slash culture town start thank you. i just entourage from top stories this hour clashes between the israeli military and
