and syria responded appropriately and that israel is in fact the aggressor and as always they're moral most likely to point out that iran is in syria at the behest of the official government of that country but we're still waiting on senior level reaction here in the heart all right zain a live in tehran thank you. now says a rescue operation is currently underway after a dam since central kenya police say they've recovered at least forty nine bodies and there are reports of several others who are unaccounted for heavy rain cools the patel dam in a crew county to break its banks sweeping away hundreds of homes flash floods have already killed at least one hundred people across the country and destroyed thousands of hectares of found and let's get more now from our correspondent andrew simmons is county which is east of north korea also very laces and what have you been hearing. we're hearing now that heavy rains have started in the crew county and this is hampering the rescue efforts that are really really tough it's heavy everywhere around this hillside there are people in a des

that israel has a pretty free hand to do what it wants in syria in order to destroy the buildup of iranian or hizbullah or syrian missile emplacements or any attempt to build up technology that could hurt israel i don't think israel has to worry much about that particularly now that president trump has taken a very clear stand against iran just for landis talking to us live from that initially thanking pleasure. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including the military lines up early for voting in the iraq election with a major issue. questions over a violent scene of an indian these imprisoned that's being called an act of terror . and the celtics reached the penultimate round of the n.b.a. playoffs they'll need to know that this has coming up the final install. now in a show of diplomatic progress three americans freed from prison in north korea have touched down in maryland u.s. president donald trump met them at an air force base near washington d.c. kimberly how could report. back in the united states it's been more than a year since kim haq s

bahrain has expressed support for israel's attacks inside syria on twitter the foreign minister said this as long as iran has destabilized the status quo in the region and as exploited states using its missiles and power any state in the region including israel has the right to defend itself and destroy the sources of danger the u.s. and the united arab emirates say they've disrupted a big network for smuggling funds to elite branch of iran's armed forces the u.s. says smugglers used companies based in the u.a.e. to funnel millions of dollars to iran's revolutionary guards could force its impose sanctions on six people and three companies the u.a.e. has put them sanctioned on its so-called terrorism list. the syrian army is pushing ahead with its campaign to clear pockets of territory held by what they say are terror groups south of the capital damascus now this footage is from state t.v. it said to show regime forces patrolling a neighborhood near the yarmouk camp that area is still held partly by rebel fighters and also by eisel or the syrian president bashar al assad has denied in

israel has issued a stark warning to iran and syria saying that if they attempt to hit israel they'll pay the price it comes after israel claimed it destroyed nearly all of iran's military infrastructure in syria in a wave of strikes early thursday it was in retaliation to alleged iranian attacks on israeli positions in the occupied golan heights prime minister benjamin netanyahu is threatening further action. of a bomb iran crossed a red line our response was appropriate the israeli army carried out a broad strike a very broad strike against iranian targets in syria i sent a clear message to the assad regime our action is aimed at the reigning targets in syria but if the syrian army will act against us we will act against it well iran's denied that it was behind the attacks and there's been no official response from the iranian regime but a senior politicians told al-jazeera that israel is fabricating the nature of iran's involvement in syria are a force that has more on the attacks from the occupied golan heights. cockpit video from israeli warplanes is they carried out the largest

concerns about iran's presence in syria israel and russia have. a kind of practical understanding about what is taking place in syria but that is coming under great strain at the moment there have been numerous four a's that the israeli military has made into syria its air forces bombed numerous targets there are reports that it bomb targets just south of damascus overnight basically trying to make sure that iran does not establish a permanent foothold in syria. israel has long been lobbying on russia to make sure that that doesn't happen and it does not think it's getting the compliance from russia that it was hoping for so there's no use of the coming year very important meeting he's met with many times but this meeting. killelea is is is very important because of the heightening tensions essentially because israel is heading towards a kind of war footing and heightens military footing it's expecting some kind of lash back from iran perhaps coming from its proxies in syria and it wants to know where russia stands on this. very many thanks i'm se
