jobs and better public services. and german international football mesut ozil has finally broken his silence about the controversial meeting with turkish president reza top out of all those who was heavily criticised for the council but has now released a passionate statement defending the meeting insisting it was not for the two tumultuous. long. welcome to the w news. the israeli military has evacuated over four hundred syrian white helmets and their families to safety and jordan the group is known around the world for pulling people out of the rubble of devastated towns and cities in rebel held territory the government though accuse them of aiding terrorists and it was feared they could have been killed by the regime had they remained in syria.

they've been putting their lives on the line since the start of syria's civil war the white helmets often seen running toward scenes most people would flee from to help people injured in iraq strikes and shellings like here in aleppo ny they're being best used themselves. israel's military confirmed the evacuations of hundreds of white helmets and their families a humanitarian effort as part of a joint action along with the united states and european countries. it comes as an offensive by the syrian regime is gaining grain and restoring government control across large swathes of the countryside where just the syrian army has been advancing towards the israeli controlled golan heights right next to connect where the white helmet volunteers are coming from. an agreement brokered by russia was reached a few days ago to see the rebels hand over territory or rein canet shura and neighboring

daraa to syrian forces those rebels who did not want to cooperate with the government could leave. most of them and their families are no stranded in iraq three hundred kilometers north of connector aid workers are there to receive them. about the head of the first convoy from connector and iraq province has arrived it included certifies buses that were carrying around two thousand people feel now i'm adjusting we are displaced from tear up province have just arrived at the crossing point of marek. and we are displaced because of the bombing. and a fierce offensive as the regime and the russian forces see the trip was very difficult to look on a subject then. these are just the first of four thousand people expected to make the journey where they have come from a connection a stronghold of al qaeda in syria is one of the last rebel held areas tonight be retaken by the syrian regime. so as we've heard in the report israeli forces

have saved several hundred so-called white helmet rescue workers from syria earlier i spoke to w.'s correspondent and child foreign beirut and i asked him to explain how that rescue mission came about well israel has not taken a leadership g.'s but over the last few years they have treated thousands of civilians to being actually travelling on the other side of the golan heights which is occupied by israel and are seeking to put the definition for see that they were not for that why this is still about just because germany canada and britain and specifically asked this way to get me out of this mission and jordan has done that do and counted out germany and britain and promised that they would be providing shelter to these people now the regime sikorsky eight hundred people but now be hearing only four hundred twenty two of these people have been rescued some however of them are workers with white helmets the workers and the rest of their families

this is being done by this way because germany britain and u.k. and who is have asked for this to be done and this is because these countries that i mentioned have been supporting white financially and in other ways to carry out carry out any operations. on the borders. why was this group close the golan heights in particular danger now. two reasons one is it's being dangerous all this why that in. these areas were completely under g.c.t. so even if somebody wants to listen to them it was physically not possible it was physically tough that it basically meant sending boots on the ground and having to mention the city wall and in this case you have the board over two hundred you have the border also the city on the sly to this incident could be just let's or so in

this case. why an order that was already that was that on company this is to. stretch off the strategy which is under the control of isis affiliates are these people basically caught between the isis leaves and roaming by regime and russian forces so they were not particularly in the carious position and because they could be rescued only visited with the walking on their marching orders these countries germany canada and u.s. and u.k. have come forward to see let's rescue we can see that's what's really happened on shelves or on beirut thank you very much protesters have again hit the streets in cities across iraq demanding more jobs and better public services the unrest has now spread to the capital baghdad where crowds tried to storm the government district the rallies began two weeks ago in the southern city of basra but are now growing in size and intensity so far these nine people have died in clashes with

security forces. at first the demands were simple clean water and electricity but for many of those protesting across iraq the problem is not only the lack of infrastructure but the politicians who have failed to provide it. we want to change of the politicians we no longer want just water and electricity it's a shame that we don't have simple rights humans have gone to the moon and have the most advanced technology and we're still calling for water and electricity no it's the politicians who are corrupt must be watching the unrest began two weeks ago in the south of iraq summer temperatures reach fifty degrees celsius and iran has cut off its supply of electricity to its neighbor because of unpaid bills clean water is also in short supply. many iraqis are tired of living without basic necessities after a decade and a half of near constant war and conflict now

a year after the so-called islamic state was defeated the public's attention has shifted back to corruption and mismanagement in the government. in recent days protests spread across the country reaching the capital of baghdad while growing in size and anger. on friday a twenty four year old protester was struck in the head and killed by a tear gas canister while filming this video in basra. he went out daily to search for a job to earn a living for his family but in vain so he decided to go to the protest hoping that the government would respond to their demands but he was shocked. the iraqi government is not in a position to make sweeping reforms after an upset victory for populist candidate solder in may the parties have yet to form a coalition government. meanwhile protesters have announced

a list of demands including for jobs and infrastructure they claim they won't go home when they get a promise but when they get results. news here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world today as a side bombing in northwest pakistan has killed another candidate running in wednesday's general election his driver also died in the blast pakistani taliban has planned for sponsibility for the attack it's the latest in a string of pre-election violence earlier this month another suicide blast killed one hundred forty eight. france has opened a judicial investigation into the beating of a protester by one of president eminem omar call security staff a video surfaced last last week showing the example of an all our sourcing a man and a woman in the may day demonstration in paris it was fired on friday but. opponents accuse president of trying to cover up the incident. ecuador could be close to

schools or kampala so why has finally released a statement now two months after that means well at this stage we can only speculate blown over no one's really talking about it now let's not forget that in the past few months a lot has happened in german football of course the world cup and the whole debacle there and people like you know a scapegoat essentially and so what we suppose i think what probably thought i once again let's stress that we are speculating here is that it would blow over but it was like a snowball effect and i suppose he probably didn't expect that the german football association the d.f.t. would be so critical. of him in previous weeks and also the team manager oliver beer hof of course said that perhaps he should have even been left out of the team that went to russia for the world cup and you know so he did mention sporting reasons but he did also hint at the fact that maybe this photograph had something to do with it but he didn't go as far as saying that. do you think this

will will spend the end of mr international career for germany well if you look closely at the statement i mean it is in very strongly worded. statement now we have two of the three statements that he's going to be releasing and already he is very clear in that he's very angry and he has you know he goes he's very direct in his criticism of the german football association and also also tomatillos this is a german football great and he's also an ambassador for german football it'll be very difficult to sort of go back and then you know involve yourself in the team and it's also been quite a tough week for the german football association is let's not forget the confines woman to go of course he is the chairman by a munich he was very critical of the german football association so let's see what happens now at the end of the statement and we'll see what how far he goes interesting times in german football public for years from both thank you very much . now if you're afraid of heights you might want to look away now because
