6:01 pm
i'm still going to welcome to the program. iran's foreign ministry has condemned israel's attack on iranian military targets inside syria this first official reaction came from a ministry spokesman who described the raids as a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty that was conducted on what he called fabricated and baseless excuses israel struck dozens of iranian targets in retaliation they say for an iranian rocket barrage against israeli positions in the golan heights as israel's prime minister accuses iran of crossing a red line international calls for restraint to grow louder. and on its way to destroy an edifice system this laid down fifth grade leased by israel's defense force says one of the barrel of strikes on iranian military sites in syria israel's
6:02 pm
prime minister gave the justification. of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria. we are engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria. israel says it strikes me retaliation for a rocket attack on territory it occupies in the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach their target . if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the u.s. and the u.n. are calling for restraint. no he's getting it's getting more done there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid that that's what i told the
6:03 pm
really in president rouhani and i'll pass on that message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in the statements in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation. that. tension three main high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. a correspondent. has been following the story from neighboring beirut welcome on shelf this looking at the context of this escalating dispute the attack on the golan heights was not the first chapter of this story was it. no absolutely not in fact of all work few years israel has attacked. iranian assets and city are over one hundred times and in this region israel is also corked of the n.d.s. are the rebel forces by providing the medical help and also by other means at buston that doctors who treated some of these anti s.
6:04 pm
are the rebels but now it has escalated to a very worrying level because israel itself says that they have hit all of our infrastructure allegedly in city of it as iran completely not completely denying but is sort of attacking israel back by saying that israel is violating the city and sovereignty it's all rhetoric aside but it's not as rhetoric this time around they're actively that engaged in an active confrontation so that makes things worse so how close would you say the region is to actual war. when it's on as i can tell you that i am an eleven hour i've been tracking developments in iran and in syria as well are talking to people there and there is a fear of this will turn into a war fought for over a year now that you're by who we've been hearing that the next battle will be between israel and iran and it will be in self serving and it's actually now beginning to happen all the all sources at high level meant in that neither side wants active war what israel wants is for iranian fighters to get out of syria
6:05 pm
which is not happening hizbullah is not going to get out there and hold the iranians and hizbullah and the city and says look we have allies we're going to be whatever we want to be and israel has no business telling us our so you've got a tense situation and any anything really can overnight on into or into a war in the region right now or the one hopes that better sense would prevail and one of the reasons for u.s. decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal has an emboldened evil side or perhaps both. well that's just adding fuel to the fire and this essentially is a huge victory for benjamin netanyahu he she wanted this for a very very long time and on the truck he's basically blocked what he wanted now iran's foreign minister is going to be traveling the world he's also going to be going to a brass and meeting the e.u. ministers that he's hoping if you can somewhat souders the deal but what we hear is that this creates a huge problem for honey inside because conny the spiritual leader has already said
6:06 pm
that no we don't even know which of the e.u. countries what should tell us in the will help us in getting all of this all are in a normal way so in a way the hard line is about to prevail in iran but this is someone who was sort of making sense are saying that we just hope for donald trump to exit. for another american president to work with but that's of course. not happening immediately until both the beirut thank you for human rights groups including amnesty international are condemning a death sentence handed down to a nineteen year old woman in sudan on thursday the woman nora was convicted of stabbing her husband to death as she said he was raping her and she says she was forced to marry the man against her will it only sixteen years old a crowd gathered outside the courtroom on demand as the judge passed sentence the dead man's family had refused an opportunity to pardon the teenager and rejected offers for financial compensation nor is legal team and now has two weeks to appeal
6:07 pm
the ruling the harsh time justice for nora has been trending online as activist demand that the charges be dropped a live show from d.w. social media can tell us more welcome lives one of the activists say. well phil amnesty international has called the death sentence an act of cruelty they say noura is the victim here and that is because her lawyers tell us that she was married off by her parents when she was sixteen years old she managed to escape she fled to a relative stayed there for three years and then she came back and that is when her husband got hold of her and raped her even with the help of his relatives who held her down while he was raping her and then he wanted to do it again on another day and that is when noor stabbed him to death so really disturbing details that we're getting from this case and it is a case that lots of people in sudan have been following one woman here talks about it on twitter she is from sudan she says i was never sadder and more shaken than
6:08 pm
when i saw in red today she walked in with a steady feet and the head held high she is a hero a survivor and a voice that dared refuse oppression in a society created to oppress and now like dozens of other people she is using the hash tag justice for noor that has really become a rallying cry for people who want her to be a part and it's not just people in sudan feel it is also people across the world one organization has even created a petition online on change dot org that they want to be part of and they say that she murdered her husband in self defense and what activists also want to really with this online campaign is also to draw attention not only to numerous case but also to other thousands of cases where you have marital rape where you have children being married off in sudan and there it is legal when
6:09 pm
a girl reaches the age of ten the parents can marry her off so that is something a broader issue that activists want to shed a light on now as you mentioned earlier his legal team has fourteen days to appeal that case it is not clear how much the chances of success are there but they are hoping her supporters that there may be the successful pressure maybe also from international organizations like the e.u. and also the united nations ok thank you. well look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the former deputy prime minister of malaysia anwar ibrahim is set to walk free after spending years in jail a new prime minister mahathir mohamad mohamed says the king had told him that and what will be part of the prime minister is also promised a handout while his job when he retires officials in gaza say israeli soldiers are shot dead one palestinian and wounded dozens more during the six weeks

6:13 pm
a million people live to see outbreaks in the past forty years and most recently last year. yes there are a virtuous pigs for the world health organization he joins us from geneva welcome to d.w. so how serious is the current outbreak. well digger very much every few paula is very serious and has to be dealt with utmost importance evil is a very deadly disease a defect deleterious show can be as high as ninety percent and we have seen in the past what ebola can do to communities so it is of a great concern for the world health organization to received information from the government of the democratic republic of the congo about the confirmation off the presence of the virus in the northwestern part of the country so how many people have died so far how many confirmed cases are there well so far there were two
6:14 pm
cases that have been confirmed by laboratory analysis and this is despite happen on last tuesday when the government declared the beginning of the outbreak obviously the reports that have been looked at at a later stage show that there were cases in that area that that had been reported and some of them died and had symptoms that are consistent with the symptoms of time or educate fever such as ebola so we are counting thirty to suspect cases it is really important beyond numbers to go get quickly to this area and put in place necessary measures there was the last epidemic i think was in twenty fourteen that was said to be over so why does it keep coming back is this latest outbreak knew or was it never completely eradicated. well this is a new outbreak we know the device exists in animal reservoir we know that that bats are carrying the virus and then ok janelle you devise can come directly from bats
6:15 pm
all true other primates to humans and then human to human transmission starts and that this is when we have a new outbreak so you look at the republic of the congo has a number a sofa outbreak since the virus has been identified in seventy's this is the ninth one on the record last year also there was there was an outbreak and in two thousand and fourteen there was an unrelated outbreak in a crappy republic of congo unrelated to the big huge ball outbreak that happen in a west africa but we have seen exactly in west africa what the ball a can do how deadly taze and what damage it can do to communities so that at times of the essence we need to get to d.c. area quickly experts and and material to be able to understand where the where device is circulating exactly to isolate those who are sick as them properly to to to dent to fight contact so those who may have been exposed for twenty one days
