At least nine people are dead after an attack on a church near cairo. Also football star to president george where is set to take all the top jobs in liberia. And an apology to millions of customers from tech giant apple. Welcome to the news that israel says its Aerial Defense system intercepted two rockets launched from the gaza strip it says a third rocket hit a building in the halls in southern israel its army has now shelled parts of the very latest on this from malcolm webb whos in gaza what more do we know about the rocket attacks that have been launched apparently from gaza and the subsequent retaliation from israel. We felt and heard several loud explosions just over an hour ago when those rockets were fired. Im actually just going to get a step aside and tell you a little bit about whats happening right now were at the border with israel to get the camera to zoom in a bit. As every as it happened every friday for the last four weeks ever since President Trump announced the u. S. Would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel after prayers there have been street rallies in gaza and protesters have come here to the border on the edge of gaza by the separation wall and the fence that separates gaza from israel theyve tried to plant palestinian flags in the ground throw stones and met consistently with volleys of tear gas and gunfire from the israelis and weve just heard a volley of of those tear gas canisters being fired by and just now you can see a big cloud of white gas this is the tear gas that israelis keep using to try and clear the protesters and the plume of black smoke is from one of the fires of tires that the protesters have lit this went on for many hours last week and the same in the previous weeks and from the protesters no sign of giving up yet people are very angry by what happened by what President Trump said regarding jerusalem and said this is been a regular pattern you were talking about the exchange of fire initially so. We did hear and feel the explosions when when those rockets were fired as he said the israeli army said three rockets were fired two were intercepted in one of the meals they heard from local residents who live along here along the border the israelis had retaliated with tank shells and hit one of the watch towers belonging to one of the armed factions along the border here for the moment malcolm thanks very much for the web thing garza. Now the tar collar church south of cairo has killed at least nine people a gunman was also killed no police shot him when he tried to storm the church in one province there are reports that a Second Attacker was arrested you dont want to be there. Playing god they lock the door there were hundreds inside if getting close a door on time it could have been worse than did jack and the road the mask in china. And wash off is a visiting professor of Security Studies at the Doha Institute joins me here in our studio good to have you with us lets just begin with this is not the first attack on the Christian Community within egypt what seems to be going on this twenty seven has been a really bad year well its a continuation of a series of attacks that has been going on for a while now especially since twenty thirty nonwords. In from august twenty fifth in the pretty much the Coptic Community has been subject to a target in discriminatory you had attacks targeted churches civilian copts from sinai in the north or sinai all the way to to operate in egypt and it seems to me that seems to be a continuation but its it looks to me that could have been a lot more damaging and with significant oval office to cation from what we saw were waiting for official comment from the government as to who they think are behind it but who are the likely suspects the likely suspects are two organizations really that has been consistently targeting since twenty fifteen isis in sinai or this one i province or the small decentralized cell of affiliated with isis but but eating in the valley and the probabilities too. Small cells one in cairo and one in central delta we see in social scene for example in november. See few muslims also attacked its not just christians its anybody that sort of seems to deviate away from a certain train of thought when it comes. Two muslim teachings or the muslim way of worshipping since since the twenty thirteen we had for indiscriminate categorization of targeting if you wish one was the coptic christian so they target regardless. The recent one is the sufis of the muslims as we saw in the north sinai but also to a certain degree the targeting of Police Officers and army officers. Talk about officer rank specifically because the soldiers in many ways they were they were spared only set aside but also you had. Targeting sometimes of. Primarily me some to some of the media personnel and of course israel in their case these were indiscriminate in many ways. So the cops come primarily a soft one they are the largest religious community after sunni muslims in egypt and to a certain degree the churches were targeted multiple times the problem is that there is no clear counterterrorism and counterinsurgency policies so for dealing with this for a while egypt has been just continuing the same blunders and same mistakes i was good to ask you about that about the counter sort of intelligence the counterinsurgency policy that the Egyptian Government has because we had the palm sunday attack earlier this year we saw the president himself come out to console the grieving community it seems that the words are there but there seems to be theyre actually trying to protect minority communities in egypt and of course with things like this happen they grab the headlines theres the micro in the macro level tactics so the macro level basically the policies of the government has been fostering a an environment extremely booth extremely repressive and very much producing more and more violence more and more terrorism on one and the micro tactics that have not been successful either because we started in twenty thirteen with one organ. Zation operating in a very small very remote area in northeastern sinai and we ended today with five organizations operating all over the country from the northeast of sinai all the way to the Western Desert and including cairo and central delta but moreover the rate of attacks is unprecedented egypts history you were talking about over according to the home center since twenty four thousand were talking about over two solid and operations so this is a massive soul must an operation per day for three continuous three years so if youre looking at this picture this macro picture i think the policies whether the counterterrorism or the counterinsurgency policies need significant revisions especially when it comes to the way the government is conducting the crackdowns the very widespread indiscriminate repression their propaganda because the propaganda is not is really mediocre so it does not give them a lot of credibility but also there is no long term policy in terms of National Reconciliation in terms of containing sectarianism is going on in egypt and in terms even of trying to foster a National Agenda that on the one and promotes conservation within the country but also on the other and deals with the Security Threat in a more meaningful and more successful men we should see what happened certainly a sad development as we head towards the end of the year thanks so much for joining us thank you. Now the u. S. President donald trump has accused china of violating u. N. Sanctions against north korea by not cutting off oil supplies to pyongyang trump has tweeted caught red handed very disappointed that china is allowing oil to go into north korea there will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen but china insists its abiding by u. N. Resolutions dont wash the younger the china always implements completely and strictly the resolutions of the u. N. Security council if feels its to International Obligations and will never allow chinese citizens or companies to engage in activities against those resolutions if any behavior violating those resolutions is discovered and confirmed through an investigation china will issue strict punishment in accordance with the relevant law and regulations. Out of the u. S. President s tweet to south korea seized a ship suspected of violating the u. N. Sanctions saucers the Hong Kong Flagged vessel transferred oil to a north korean ship in International Waters knocked over the u. S. Proposed blacklisting the ship for ignoring International Sanctions placed against pyongyang or upper bride has more from beijing. China will not be happy with this latest criticism from President Trump coming in such a public stinging manner but its true to say that china has become used to dealing with the United States in a different way over the past year and has been accustomed to President Trumps tweets at the ministry of Foreign Affairs regular press briefing friday in beijing there was no specific reference or reply to this latest attack but the Spokes Person was asked about the allegations concerning this hong kong registered vessel seized in south korea for allegedly dealing in illicit oil with north korea the Ministry Said that it has been investigated to the chinese customs have no record of this vessel visiting a chinese port since august although it has no records of it whether it visited other ports as far as it knows the Chinese Government does not know of any Illicit Activity that this vessel has been involved in repeating that the Chinese Government is still very much committed to enforcing the u. N. Sanctions whether china has known about any trades that might be taking place its difficult to believe that any illegal activity or transfer of oil at sea could take place without chinas knowledge and it would fit with the general narrative of china quietly supporting the north korean regime not necessarily out of any loyalty to an old ally but really as a pragmatic measure to shore up the regime as far as china is concerned it comparable live with a Nuclear Armed north korea not an ideal situation but for china the unacceptable situation is a collapsing regime that still has access to Nuclear Warheads that for china is the worst case scenario. Now live areas Vice President joseph because he has congratulated former football star george will on winning the president ial election and paved the way for the first democratic transition of power in the west african nation in seventy three yes because i had raised doubts about the fairness of choose days that but says he doesnt want violence in his name Mohammed Atta reports now from the capital monrovia was celebration on the streets of the liberian capital neutral was support for my International Football adored with greeted news of his victory in tuesdays Runoff Election with song and dance was brought down in tea is a soon as the results won best hes seen he have been consulted by his running mate if you will take that who is an exwife or former liberian president Charles Taylor who is currently serving a fifty year sentence in the u. K. For war crimes committed in neighboring sierra leone was full we any supporters its a dream come true a struggle they say that started we back in two thousand and two has finally succeeded ok so they need us for years that they can check was good but this time theyre not a trip the two of them to it was such a choice we had to present the talk through the Electoral Commission had Just Announced the preliminary results were all present ages are c. D. C. Thank you mr president is sixty one point five percent for the c. D. C. And thirty eight point five percent for the unit body and now his opponent and current Vice President just a block i says he has had deep misgivings about the elections from the beginning he contends that there is also the fuss around and supported a case taken to the Supreme Court by the county they took him in the race weve grown into an election that we knew from stacked. It has a lot of problems we were not satisfied with whether or not the instructions of the Supreme Court were followed we were. Constrained to go but why do we want to see what we wanted we had all hoped for a free fair transparent election i doubt seriously if that is where were going to get a good way said to succeed Ellen Johnson sirleaf africas first elected female president who led liberia for the past told he is she is credited with presiding over the longest period of uninterrupted peace in liberia since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine george where played fostering will football clubs including s. C. Milan chelsea and parties and german hes the only african football to have worn the feet for a while player of the georgia way as a victory in the president ial race is attributed mainly to his support base within the countrys youth who are calling for up to sixty percent of the population he grew up in want to be a slums and he success against all appeals to many in what is one of the worlds poorest countries. Where antipolitics up to his retirement from football in two thousand and two and is currently a senate a liberias pilot. Will be the First Time Since one thousand for two full plate be founded by freed u. S. Slaves in the mountain century will have transfer of power from one elected president to another how to divulge his era when really a liberia. Well george with transformation from a sporting superstar to a head of state is unprecedented but hes not the first professional athlete to enter politics back as funny cricketer in run can made his name as a fast bowler and captain of the National Team he launched his Political Party in one nine hundred ninety six becoming one of the main opposition figures in the country at the age of twenty Arnold Schwarzenegger was the youngest person to win mr universe the bodybuilding title after a successful acting career he was elected governor of california in the u. S. In two thousand and three filipino boxer legend Manny Pacquiao has juggled his sporting career with his job as a congressman and now senator in the philippines and the mayor of ukraines capital kiev is three time world heavyweight boxing champion retired klitschko. All awash in a g is an african football journalist based in nigeria and says that george weir had an eye on politics even during his football career. Its a country to go to a huge civil war that actually caused them so much in terms of facilities infrastructure as a youth is done so much as a humanitarian hes invested his money in not just sports when he was a when he was when he was a player as well as a coach is invested his money in the lone star hes done so much to actually bring back a lot of charge to just come back to the country and help develop the country i think all of those points that you mentioned the challenges that we face in him is amanda that hes always open to peaceful resolution and conversation remember when he lost the last election people were pushing him to actually take it to court continue to drag it on and he said no when its my time its my time i believe to get out he can oakum to get out to fix liberia as a country is talked about peace is mentioned something about uniting opposition parties because liberia is bigger than any individual i think for a man like that a lot of liberians theyve seen him hes convinced them when he was not a president hes done so much as a footballer the believe us president you can do so much more by bringing the country together is a country that is disunited in terms of politics and all of the but i believe george weah can actually deliver more plenty more ahead on the aljazeera news hour including guatemalan struggle to heal the wounds of a decades long civil war. The end of an era as the worlds last telegraph service closes shop and in sports a top tennis player pulls out of the seasons opener while another is getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about his those details coming up with. South africas top court says parliament has felt a whole president jacob zuma accountable for allegations of corruption the court ruling follows his conclusion last violated the constitution when he used state money to upgrade his private home but the court says its up to parliament to come up with the right close to deal with such violations turning a page just the latest from johannesburg. The Constitutional Court south africas highest court has found that the National Assembly thats parliament failed to take appropriate action against president jacob zuma and relation to gross overspending of taxpayers dollars on his private home called income the Constitutional Court says the first thing that should happen is that the National Assembly needs to come up with a comprehensive list of rules and regulations which perhaps could lead to the impeachment of president zuma away but they didnt go so far as to say thats what should happen because that would be in breach of the separation of powers the opposition parties who brought this legal action were pleased with the outcome nonetheless the constitutional delinquent mr zuma in no time will be scrutinized will be brought before parliament to be accountable because his own Political Party has actually failed to hold him accountable and we can with the other day longer we need to be in parliament in no less than did todays before the state of the nation address of twenty eight. In their defense president zuma and the speaker of parliament both said it wasnt true that the National Assembly had done nothing multiple votes of no confidence in president zuma have been held and they have all been defeated and thats what it comes down to its a matter of numbers in parliament because impeaching a president is a parliamentary process so even when there are rules in place that could lead to impeaching a president ultimately that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing African NationalCongress Holds the majority and so it be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment now thousands of Indigenous People died during guatemalas decade long civil war that ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety six but they were not included in the official death toll dont receive proper burials now some families are getting closure of the tashi going to reports. A skull with bits of bones and a childrens halloween t. Shirt remnants of loved ones on earth from one of them all as mass graves. Two hundred fifty thousand guatemalans died or disappeared during the countrys thirty six year civil war thousands of the degenerates Farming Families had been a raced from memory until now. But ever on me me they shot my wife a bullet to the hip she was washing clothes she walked a couple of steps but she couldnt walk anymore and there she stayed my wife was just lying there. Through d. N. A. Testing families are now identifying their relatives burying them and visiting their graves during the war many farmers were forced into army operated villages it was a way to ensure they didnt join one of the guerrilla groups in the area they were promised food and medical care instead many died from malnutrition and treatable diseases that my adieux said that when the majority of causes of death of the children was due to disease due to a lack of medical attention it was limited because of what was happening in the region as well as the Measles Outbreak in the early one nine hundred eighty s. People here say they were treated like prisoners so. If somebody for example had to leave to visit a relative in the capital or another province they had to request it in writing sometimes well in advance for the army to grant authorization those who left and did not return at the stipulated time would get into trouble and many times that trouble meant. In recent years quantum olens have begun to address the crimes of war former military leader efren rios montt was convicted of genocide in two thousand and thirteen the decision was overturned on procedural grounds and hes being tried again in absentia but. For these families identifying and burying their dead is just one step towards acknowledging the many injustices of guatemalas civil war. Natasha the name l. Does era. The u. S.

For one hundred eighty years the iconic telegram brought news of calamity and condolence joy and success. It entered Popular Culture surviving the invention of the telephone and instant messaging but the end is nigh it was ironically via twitter the belgian Telecoms Firm proxima announced the demise of its service one of the last in the world the system was kept alive by only a handful of businesses mostly bailiffs issuing hard copies of legal documents tucked away in a London Science Museum and some of the earliest examples of the technology the first system was developed in england in eight hundred thirty seven and would go on to change the world. By nineteen hundred. Cables that connected all the different continents of the world and they with it was the first step to globalization radio t. V. Telephone our world is basically built on the telegraph its hard to imagine but once these cumbersome machines were cutting ends technology very much the same way that computers were much later on they use the latest science of the day electromagnetism to point needles that letters in the alphabet to eventually spell out a word it was all down to how skilled the telegraph operator was using these handles. The technology created a certain style of writing a bit like modern Text Messages the word stop was used to indicate the end of a sentence senders also a pay by the word leading to some resourceful ways of communicating the shortest telegram of the english language was sent by the writer and celebrated wit oscar wilde he was living in paris and sent a message to his publisher to see how his new book was doing the message simply read.

Now greece which already has huge unemployment is struggling to find jobs for refugees the problem has been made worse after some e. U. Countries refuse to resettle some of them but one group thinks refugees could help contribute to greeces feeble economy as loans leave reports. Language class for this group of refugees in northern greece jason from it live in syria has decided to seek asylum here they all need greek anyway because theyll be here for months or even years so slow is the bureaucracy. Jason said he wants to study and maybe become a hairdresser. But hes open to suggestions for work. Across his country similar scenes are happening the rest of europe has decided the greece can cope more or less greece has got a big problem the economist on the whole more than forty percent youth unemployment and at the same time greece is having to deal with the brunt of the refugee influx and the european quota system for sharing them out has fallen apart completely so heres the big question if theres not enough jobs for greeks then what to expect refugees to do. So in the absence of any other bright ideas some people here have decided to celebrate the new arrivals farmer demetrius makes some dried tomatoes and grows herbs but he has a problem his village like hundreds of others has shrunk by half since the economic crisis as a young people moved away or empty houses here waiting for families to move in to breathe new life into the community hed love nothing more than refugees from rural syria to help him out you think you can help each other yes if theyre if you just work just to stay here we can do it many thinks together so the idea came from a local organization working with refugees it argues that greeces economic crisis could be partly solved by the refugee influx not cheap labor but cooperative farms giving the new arrivals an economic stake and encourage them to stay refugees that used to be in. Their original country or they have experience in farming we think that they can also assist the locals and the locals can assist then and in developing a future for both in the camps its becoming clear what happens when refugees cant access the jobs market a groups are warning of a huge spike in drug abuse by refugees stuck for years in a shipping container cannabis is sold alongside fruit on the road side of the noses of the police of the camp male refugees selling their bodies has become common as well they are buying the drugs there are some people using headlining also or. In the camp and they are just because theyre plants and just because you dont have any hope. Here these last life of. Their life. They dont have any hope. Many greeks here claim refugees get special treatment while theyre left to suffer in poverty they were life in the camps hard looks generous there are apparently no greeks to work the fields in this Agricultural Land and to grow the economy its only one idea but maybe theyre starting to realize you can make a virtue out of a crisis lawrence lee aljazeera in northern greece apple has issued an online apology to customers following weeks of anger over intentionally slowing down all the i phones the tech giant says the slowdown is to preserve the life of degrading batteries asked our reaction from customers as led to several class action lawsuits against the company apples not offering a discount for replacement batteries every mars is a Freelance Technology journalist he says its extremely rare for apple that issue a public apology. Were its unusual you dont normally get such a full. Longer explanation from apple who its hard to get any press reaction out of them let alone something this detailed they clearly feel it can really hurt theyre facing legal action in in israel for on and eight cases already in the states and so in the short term it doesnt look good they. Offer to cut the price but the just the year of having i phone six is all later upgraded they say that we would never ever slow down the device deliberately or shorten the life rather of the device deliberately i think thats a little bit rich they do their absolute damnedest to to stop Third Party Manufacturers repairing their products not very successfully but they try and very very quickly as they sort of well before they get really through end of life they make the prices of apple chanche to repair them sober a habit if you would really want to upgrade so while they may not deliberately cripple devices theyre not really exactly thanking the best efforts to extend their lives by any means all demonstrators are back on the streets of perus covered libor to protest against the pardon granted to former president Alberto Fujimori on sunday the controversial decision by embattled president pedro public which has prompted his culture minister to resign and those are the silver reports its also drawing international condemnation. Peru is being forced to revisit a painful and not so distant past the president ial pardon of Alberto Fujimori who led the latin american nation with an iron fist from one thousand nine hundred ninety to two thousand has sparked outrage in the country and beyond a group of un human rights experts has joined the critics calling it a slap in the face for the victims and witnesses who stier less commitment brought fujimori to justice an apology from the bed ridden seventy nine year old former president has done little to ease the sense of injustice. The more he killed my son and this very cowardly and cruel way now president paddle public agenda ski has finished killing the entire family with this pardon of fujimori. They have called for more protests and intermarry can court of human rights to examine the legality of the decision all we can do that of the pardon which has the appearance of a humanitarian pardon to be a pardon of a political nature. The president. Has justified the Christmas Eve pardon on medical grounds but the timing of the decision has caused deep suspicion thats because just a few days earlier fujimori loyalists in parliament prevented a vote on could choose keys impeachment and it allegations of corruption. The former president has served twelve years of a twenty five year sentence for corruption and Human Rights Violations these included extrajudicial killings in forced disappearances and kidnappings as he used death squads in a ruthless war against the maoist shining path. The groups leader abu male guzman now eighty three has been serving a life sentence on terror charges and in a sign that proves too fresh wounds may have just been reopened his lawyer to me is now asking for a pardon from the silver aljazeera. Brazils top prosecutor has launched a legal challenge against pardons made by. Michelle tabor just before christmas the traditional pardons are applied to all criminals meeting certain conditions the prosecutor general has requested an injunction to stop parts of the president ial decree from going into effect she says it would grant impunity to people involved in operation carwash the countrys largest ever corruption investigation. To south asia now at least fifteen people have been killed and Dozens Injured in a fire in the indian city of mumbai it happened late at night in a restaurant the fire spread quickly through a four Story Building in the popular nightclub area. And a fire inside the Apartment Building in new yorkers killed at least twelve people including a one year old baby four others were critically injured more than one hundred seventy five fighters responded to the scene in the bronx neighborhood the cause is not yet clear. This is the worst fire tragedy we have seen in this city in at least a quarter century because of afghan wise Quick Response based on the information we have now at least twelve people were rescued and will survive but the. Search of the building continues. So we know that even though its horrible report that twelve are dead or are dead already we may lose others as well. In all series looking ahead at the may just stories we expect to see in twenty eighteen we look at u. S. Politics a midterm elections and they could have a major impact on Donald Trumps presidency up for grabs all seats in the house of representatives and a third of the senate bridles reports.
