All the sports barcelona expected to officially announce the sacking of kiki sit down as head coach as the club rebuild after the humiliating Champions League exit. Now the better russian president has told striking workers they will not be new elections until they kill him but Alexander Lukashenko has suggested he may be willing to redistribute power after a week of mass protest he said changes to the. Situation could be made but he would not do it under pressure his speech came hours after Opposition Leaders felt the need to kind of skies that she was willing to help lead the country during a transitional period she sent a video message from exile in neighboring that your way nia or protesters across the country have made it clear they want out and thousands of workers at station and factories as well as the state t. V. Channel have now joined a national strike. All those striking workers are now on the march towards state media headquarters in minsk step basson is with them and joins us live step this movement shows no sign of abating. No absolutely not were here no way the government who are moving from one factory to the out of. The workers to join in with this right through a state run official very own you should say that official that was on strike and while there was no picture there was no show this morning for the new study. For taking on the look at shanghai and these workers are now also supporting the journalists the media who have who are on strike force morning so. They say we can we will win thats what theyre screaming right now theyre also asking for a look at shankar to resign and step also at another factory this morning who also on strike and. Went there and spoke how was he receives. He was not received as plants because workers even in front of him in his face asked him to resign and thats very unusual. Very upset about it he said that after you won yet still be right he says there will not be any new or elections even if that and yes he wants some sort of. Power very unclear what. Steps certainly but surely reality is sinking in that let me ask you about those power sharing suggestions weve heard them from both lucas and to kind of sky and now how is that all being interpreted over there. We have a strange situation now with sort of to have its leadership. One. Kind of scary in malice a way mia saying that shes ready to be the National Leader and then we have the embattled president here in minsk who is clinging on to power. To kind of scar your sas hes ready to have a Coalition Government to have a sort of Transitional Government and talk about the future and also new and Fair Election thats thats the main thing that she wants to call for well one of the other things she said in her message step was she called on Security Forces to switch sides and we have seen a little bit of that over the last few days do you think that were hitting a Tipping Point here. What i believe is theres a lot going on behind the scenes right now i think that definitely people people talking with the opposition with to kind of directly about a future plan about a possible Transitional Government about a possible new elections while the support for look at shankar is definitely creasing its very hard to tell how strong the Security Forces are still backing him but what weve seen in the last couple of days more and more people are leaving this what could be considered a sinking ship which is history seem in minutes steadfast and met life for us on the streets of the better russian capital minsk with all the latest well be bringing you all the latest throughout the day here on out of there thank you step now lets bring in gyroscopes from un chuck hes also in minsk and hes the president of the Scientific Research mrs fenton independent think tank and he was also about a russian president ial candidate and 2010 jars of i want to start with these suggestions of power sharing weve had to speak about these potential reforms how genuine is he. And you know who does the euro you can trust today when he was talking. 2 workers in one of the biggest factor was a myth she said that it was not a brutality and cruel deal police but for terror so themselves attacked did people all policemen events in Detention Center thats why they were beaten so this got outrageous law in this situation and thats why i dont believe in power sharing and the only thing that he can deliver is to leave im curious the terrace of about the timing of these 2 statements as well as from to kind of sky just a few hours a pop there is this some kind of strategy here someone perhaps in the sodding things behind the scenes well the only the to exert leadership that has is to somehow shut down the protests to disperse crowds to lure people into a negotiation process and this kind of statement that hes ready for reforms i can tell you like i heard that 10 years ago 15 years ago 5 years ago and no change happened and look at shanghai in his president ial Election Program promised come back to saw that style blending economy so i do not see any evidence any reason any personal like decision to trust him in this critical moment well we do know he has been on the phone to moscow 2 times in 2 days how much influence do you think moscow has on whats happening right now. Most of the book interpersonally had a grudge against the question can i doubt about a bigger russia a washington much honoree is a pressure trauma oligarchs that are where all major theme democrats im going here complain that im the only person who can defend sober and could deliver celebrants and the right now peeling to put in to save it is like giving out dollars to russia and russia has it done because it sees that overwhelmingly well there was once to be independent and but really doesnt want to look a stronger so its affordable to shanika is a very bad sign for where we are seeing growing external pressure from a number of Different Countries now now given more than 2 and a half decades and how his reputation is set to europes last dictator how difficult do you think it would be for a step back and allow reform if he is forced to. Think that right now we need some people of authority who can talk to us and get directly from religious leader. Expresident showed president s people who are in this way one way or another had good relations with tam. Had presented here with the real alternatives because remember yesterday when he had this rally and day he didnt even notice millions of people are rallying in this streets of all cities of mens or boa ballards thats why.

C. For the 2nd straight day protesters gathered outside the postmaster generals home they accuse him of sabotaging the Postal Service with a view to restricting mail in ballots in the election essentially backing President Trump in what many view as a kid Voter Suppression the American People have a right you know where were not frogs slowly boiling in a pot we see whats happening and were going to fight against it were going to exercise our vote and were going to get rid of this corrupt. The president created this situation and then my modest emotion and many others i mean this is its its a maneuver by him to.

Well speaking of the election the u. S. President ial primary is now over and the Democratic Party is gathering to formally nominate its official candidate for novembers election its National Convention begins on monday normally thousands of delegates would gather in person to cheer on the candidate but because of the coronavirus pandemic its being held remotely john hendren has more from chicago. It will be the convention that was not it least not in person it was supposed to happen in milwaukee but for the 1st time ever due to the Global Pandemic the democratic National Convention will be virtual. The event that has had democrats meeting in person by the thousands every 4 years even in wartime i say to this Great Convention tonight and to this great nation of ours i am ready to lead our country is not to beat but with some are calling the democrats revolution will be televised the convention itself will take place in dozens of locations unified only on screen which might or might not set a precedent for future conventions i have a hard time believing that this will be the death knell for Political Conventions the Political Convention use have amassed over time soo many deferent purposes. This year there will be no traditional balloon drop over a crowd of 1000. No thunderous applause. No delegates lined up behind 57 state and territorial signs pennsylvania the state that will help to reelect obama in the inevitable protests. This year and many will likely be posted online it was here in chicago in 1968 that Hubert Humphrey accepted the democratic nomination for president but what most people remember is anti vietnam protesters clashing with police here in grant park but this time protesters will have no single place to gather the Party Standard bearer joe biden is expected to accept from a venue in delaware as always there will be big names just on the small screen there will be a keynote speaker im honored to be here tonight a job that can carry an exceptional order to the nomination at the next convention all over the family the United States of america but theres something about all those people cheering together for their. Leaders something infectious that will be missing this time partly because its a relief for the baby. But its also. Our its europe. To rally their base particularly for. May not know theyre going to go like so much else in this unique year filled with the president ial impeachment a Global Pandemic in protests across the u. S. This democratic National Convention will look less familiar john hendren 0 chicago there is plenty more ahead here this news hour including a race to save the soul of papers look at the scale of devastation the explosion brought to Historic Sites in the lebanese capital. And in sport whats next for this indian superstar after walking away from International Cricket. Another day of cripple whats from around the wilds as the coronavirus pandemic rages on the number of deaths in india has now passed 50000 its the 3rd west affected country with more than 2 and a half 1000000 people infected well its also having a devastating economic effect japans economy strength of an point 8 percent just in the last quarter and the outbreak has also forced new zealands Prime Minister to postpone next months election the country has seen a resurgence of cases after more than 3 months without any infections well our correspondent Elizabeth Prada has more from new delhi on the situation in india. In the across the 50000 mark of deaths the recorded and confirmed number. Of remains the worst affected state 20000 media half of the deaths are the state of maharashtra bus the number of the cases and deaths are going down in the capital but they are growing in other parts of the state now when you look at the numbers though and you recorded one of on sunday it had nearly 58000 cases which is lower than the number of cases over the pos week but if you look closer it also conducted about 100000 fewer tests than it has in the last week and this also concerned about the type of tests that are being conducted because up to 30 percent of the tests that are being done in the country are the less accurate rapid and teaching tests which are quicker to do but they report false negatives up to 50 percent off the top now if you take someone like delhi for example with the number of cases have been coming down over the past month well the Supreme Court asked the Delhi Government weeks ago to explain why it was conducting twice the number of the record antigen tests as it was the more accurate test known as the. Theres been no real explanation in that time the government has continued with what its been doing in the number of cases have been coming down and the concern is that there are people who have the infection and possibly add on to others because theyre not being tested all because its the old because the tests is giving a false negative well this pandemic has led to japan suffering the west Economic Contraction in its modern history as i was saying earlier trying to buy 7. 8 percent in the 2nd quarter from april to june bride reports. The scale of japans contraction is worse than even the most pessimistic for costs it would translate into an annualized decline of more than 27 percent for an economy that was already in recession it took a big hit in the last quarter of 2019 and then the coronavirus effect began to come in in 2020 so the japanese economy is in a world of hurt exports like costs have fallen by more than a quarter around a year ago while in bound tourists have virtually disappeared its a personal setback for japans Prime Minister shinzo ave who has made the economy one of his priorities and he will be hoping the only way for the economy to go now is up she just wants. What we will continue to make the optimists afford to put the economy on the growth path after it bottomed out in april and may has been widely criticized for his handling of the pandemic and abbate sale to any leadership he did not establish early on a control tower for policies dealing with contain it in 1000. 00 raked in japan critics say he delayed an Effective Response to save the tokyo summer olympics which had to be postponed anyway at huge Economic Cost and businesses have not adapted well to changed working practices when people had to move to teleworking and people had to move to more Digital Solutions japan was pretty unprepared for that compared to other advanced economies japans experience is in stark contrast to neighboring south korea which of all the developed nations is predicted to come out best from the pandemic with an Economic Contraction of less than one percent this yeah seoul has been widely applauded for an effective early response to the outbreak without shutting down major parts of the economy its also credited with being nimbler and adapting its economy for a world altered forever by the pandemic brabant bride aljazeera sole. Spaniards speaking out against new coronavirus rules there which make the wearing of mosques and public mandatory hundreds marched in the capital madrid they chanted slogans denying the existence of the pandemic and accuse the government of violating their rights spain has the highest number of infections in western europe. Well lebanon has reported a record daily number of new Coronavirus Infections while still struggling with the aftermath of a massive explosion in beirut at least 439 new cases and 6 deaths were confirmed just over the past 24 hours daily cases that already been on the rise and the damage caused by the blast has made social distancing all the more difficult when its no speech correspondent Stephanie Decker shes on the ground there for us staff the country was already heading towards a lockdown when the blast hit now weve seen more than half the countrys cases emerge since then whats the plan now to try to contain all of this. Well its very difficult as you mentioned because of the extent of the devastation here in the capital beirut i mean we can only just show you what it looks like and because of also the absence of a lot of government help an official help youve got volunteers coming together so people there is no social distancing people are handing out food to those needy coming together theres around 300000. 00 people whove been left homeless so its very difficult to maintain this now the Health Minister the Health Minister because of course the cabinet resigned did come out today saying that the country needed to be brave and implement. I think that is going to be very very difficult at this point in time but this is a country that cannot cope with the Health Care System cannot cope you have beds already filled both in private and state medical facilities with the injured of this blast so i think it is certainly concerning something that. Its just another addition to the to the difficulties here and staff i believe we have seen a little more Movement Today on the investigation into just what happened to the blogs. Well there will be questioning the judge in charge of the investigation will be questioning 25. 00 suspects who were arrested these are senior ports officials Customs Officials and Security Officials were not really expecting much news to come out of interesting you however though the Justice Minister the acting lebanese Justice Minister was due to give a press Conference Today on the blog as well appears that she has left the country now weve been in touch with her. Why shes left whether this press conference is going to happen the only response we got from her is that its going to happen sued but its certainly not giving the right sign here to people who are already incredibly frustrated with their needs blaming the explosion really using it as a symbol of the negligence the incompetence the corruption and the mismanagement of this country now of course when it comes to a human toll thats also the toll. All of the city beirut has a few beautiful Historic Buildings left this is one of them its completely collapsed and we spent the day yesterday being led around the city being sold some of these buildings and if its possible at all to save them. So now were really entering the areas that were really the most damage jim asr is best known for its restaurants and bars and its beautiful historic architecture its actually one of the relatively rare cases of heritage buildings which completely collapsed. The catastrophic blast has caused an imaginable damage across the city especially for these fragile old homes the soul of historic beirut and 20 is part of a group called save beiruts heritage for years its tried to save these Old Buildings from being demolished to make way for high rises many owners cant afford to maintain them prefer to destroy them and sell the land which is highly lucrative we spent. Years trying to save this line of buildings from highway projects. And we managed to stop this highway. To freeze it at least and in a matter of a few seconds. More endangered than they were then they ever were or just henry luce has spent the last few years salvaging history from houses that the owners have demolished buying their beautiful discarded interiors to recreate the old within the new i wanted to have house like this. Possible to have it because the land is very expensive and i collect all the parts. Which i saw that. Columns are when those. Roofs. His home escaped the blast mostly intact a few scratches here and there for example this one is can be fixed it cant be fixed again because look its like can be done as a puzzle his message is of preserving the roots heritage of retaining its beauty if its not the old one can be replaced with a new one similar. Nobody will notice. Then or they will know this was the period of the explosion. Always. Going to be born again for now its just the start of an uphill struggle to patch up the city to heal these deep wounds the enormity of what has happened is taking time to sink in for everyone small signs of hope unscathed she remains as she was despite the walls having crumbled the challenge now to rebuild beirut as it once was and to keep its character that is so loved by so many Stephanie Decker al jazeera beirut. Well it is now time for the weather and jenny youve been saying its pretty wet in china yet still weve got more this flooding rain has moved a little bit its not in the same central sort of southern areas but yes as you say we have still got rain but although you can also see some clear skies you can see really this huge area has Central Eastern aerosols the southeast also not bad of the last couple days really across much of the Korean Peninsula and also across areas of japan now what we have seen though is more rain to the north and northwest of china and just have a look at these images what youre looking at here these dramatic pictures this huge landslide that was captured and thankfully of course the people who actually filmed this were just seconds away from actually being caught up in it but there have been various landslides really across this whole stretches in the northwest and of course what its done is cut off this main highway but what a precarious job not to try and clear it now theres more rain sorry very much in the 4 cars you can see this huge swathe of blue here on the map heavier again up tools and also beijing so all the heavy rain the 4 calls there for the next couple of days but it does tend to still stay away from the Korean Peninsula and also away from japan so weve got high temperatures clear skies and people actually finally being able to enjoy the month of august from their calls we had across to south asia the monsoon rain still very heavy and this is how its looking now in dhaka in bangladesh of course as we know a 3rd of the country under water you can see it in the streets here in but of course people go about their everyday business despite all this on the villages as well just inundated with the flood waters now theres more very heavy rain as we continue through tuesday you can see here its actually funneling up through the northern section the goals so widespread rain but again its really the central areas of india maharashtra. Pradesh out towards rajastan and thats where the heavy rain will be of the next couple of days how much a lot again look at this another 350. 00 millimeters reinstalls if so again we will see more flooding across areas of india goodness thank you very much jenny well we will have more on that flooding nation but also still ahead. Far away as to dons promised democracy one year on from the power sharing deal there are complaints things are taking too long. Electricity back out sport has closed millions in gaza face increasing hardship. And in sport after a 6 month wait Samantha Halep wins a 2nd straight tennis title thats. Frank assessments seeing. What he thinks with this its an informed opinion which is ethiopia on the verge of a breakdown in many parts of the order me a region are actually under a de facto state of emergency and critical debate have to use a proxy because look there are some big interest of the libyan people indepth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on aljazeera there is no channel that covers world news like we do as a roaming correspondent i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics to conflict is love to Environmental Issues the scale of this conflict like nothing youve ever seen access to health care all we want to know is how do these things affect people we revisit places to stay even when there are no international headlines. Aljazeera really invests in that and thats a privilege as a journalist. And again. Lets remind you of our top stories here the salah the belorussian president insists there will be no new elections until hes killed Alexander Lukashenko says he may be willing to be distribute power thousands of state workers are on strike and say the president must go. The official number of coronavirus deaths in india has surpassed 50000. 00 some experts suspect the actual total is actually far higher because of low levels of testing in the wilds of the west affected country. And japan has reported its worst Economic Contraction in modern history mainly because of the coronavirus the worlds 3rd largest economy shrank almost 8 percent in the 2nd quarter. When our Government Troops are surrounding a port and mozambique after it was captured by iceland fighters last week its the 3rd time marching board to pry a key town in a gas rich province has been attacked this year and the issue is expected to be discussed during a meeting of the Southern African Development Community which is just getting underway. For 3 years People Living in parts of northern mozambique have lived with violence and destruction attacks in kabul delgado province have rapidly gathered pace this year with fighters seizing towns for brief periods and increasingly hitting military or other important targets the government says local fighters affiliated to eisele are responsible leaders from Southern Africa a meeting on monday to decide what the region can and should do to help those in the exam. Theres been a lot of issues that are on the cup abilities of them was American Military and from our from the strength and from the military intel and side of things. Is this story. Became military has not really been able to to to look at what any insurgence from there in. Mozambiques president felipe when you see visited the area and promised to do more to help people affected by the violence there is speculation some Southern African leaders could send in troops to help was an army its happened before in the democratic republic of congo listened to and mozambique back when fighters from the group or normal were raiding towns and villages. It doesnt now thats from a militant and in any event it is coming from a process and produced it was already undergoing military civil war and again was International Assistance to come to a Peace Agreement with the former military movement as well as to try and integrate within was a me so its a very fragile sort of loose from a good muslim because at the moment. Southern African Leaders under pressure to come up with a plan to help. In may some reason leaders made here in that are they to decide what to do about the and raised in mozambique but after all of the talks the meeting ended without any concrete agreement and many people have died thousands of place by the violence was seems to be getting worse nor the mozambique is rich in natural gas some projects are believed to be worth more than 60000000000. 00 analysts say that could be one reason fueling the violence there are concerns attacks by armed groups could spill over into neighboring countries thats already been seen in other parts of the continent such as the way since the hell region and the horn of africa well thats not speak to her or she is monitoring developments from harare in neighboring zimbabwe or weve seen this huge escalation in recent weeks what can we realistically expect from start it. Well thats what people want to know they want to know if murder is going to our region to help and what kind of help is that actually going to be the area has been experience for about 3 years then youve seen the army group come in take more villages and towns and after a while go up and forth and come back remove these armed groups and its now become a back and forth in that part of the area is very remote we were there last year covering it and you drive and drive for hours and hours mortgages more town being no resources there people complain of no Running Water no electricity or nothing of anything that it could be one reason why leave armed groups are able to thing recruit some people in these areas who feel that despite all the gas in the area despite all the international herms making billions of dollars theyre the ones who are not benefit from it and thats why some say the company could take a while to end. Their following everything for us from harare thank you harry. Well armed groups linked to a cell have carried out a series of attacks in the oil rich covered delgado region over the past 3 is in that time hundreds of people have been killed tens of thousands displaced u. N. Officials describe reports of kidnappings and torture mozambiques army has a large presence in the region and private military groups from russia and south africa have also provided assistance now south africa is reported to be considering deploying troops to the region that might also include contributions from zimbabwe and. Well lets now bring in piers p. Q. In johannesburg he is a Senior Consultant for Southern Africa for the International Crisis group has thanks for being with us it does really seem that these insurgent attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated just how closely is this revealing to eisele. Well thats the 1000000. 00 question. Its not entirely. Central africa problems which launched d last year. Made its claims checked. In june last year since the. Claim to attacks. In mozambique the evidence of direct linkage is. So. We can see the media propaganda channels of. Truly engaging with. Those in mozambique but as i said the concrete linkages. Are not despite the claims that are being made. Most of the president s the number of others this is a direct well heres how i was just saying that about the civilian toll and these groups have been using civilians as human shields i mean Something Like nearly a 1000 people have died but there are also issues here between the net train and these communities is there any trust left now in the government. Well what weve seen from for a number of is the levels trust it was a couple of. Research conducted 2 years ago showed. Levels of trust and security was the choice as low income about as they were the national average. That situation is like the to listen to the last couple years and so yes seeing more and more allegations of Security Force which will be in excel or rights or dissatisfaction or else the recruitment shouldnt cease all the ins. Will pay is the most and beacon military isnt the best equipped i believe they even ran out of ammunition when trying to deal with this latest assault now that private contractors are on the ground the government hasnt exactly been open about whats going on up there what what is the reason for this lack of transparency. Well traditionally mozambique has not a transparent narrative relating to any of the cult its that its. Very much its very secret to exactly what its clients what we have on the ground in mozambique well actually in the air and all a private political track is a small orange repurposed and. Company based in south africa that is now operating with a handful of air before it is. All a ground trick components from the police and from the military that simply has no purpose and the private military contractors its good to have its contract extended through to the end of this year provide training to both the military and the police to improve capacities or take up with Security Forces in order to be able to compliment stereotype the talk Advisory Group is big quite clear that it does not have a winnable strategy with just air attacks and unless we have to improve perhaps present this insurgency is going to extend well let me ask you that about the potential for that mean this is an issue that has consequences and if a Regional Security but let me then ask you what i asked harry is realistically thought it going to be able to do anything about this do they have the resources. Well resources are issue and all the countries in the region even those with potential assets could be. Struggling financially so yes the budget is a big issue but it shouldnt be seen as a casualty terence whats disturbing is that since the meeting in harare was the end of may we see very little development. Options or so of all or most of the major media the troika the organ the politics defense and security said it may security body did not promise military intervention intervention but simply go green by the Member States and mozambique in the goes you could and we understand that those negotiations have been ongoing but we are unclear as to exactly what progress has been made because most of big is also told there are a range of other actors in terms of its security interests from outside of reach oh you will watch that meeting today very closely his picture there from International Crisis group thanks for being with us here on out of there great to get your insights thank you when i was in bad ways government is accusing the head of an Influential Group of catholic clergy of stoking divisions and promoting civil war the accusation follows a statement from bishops blaming the government for the collapse of the economy and also for human rights abuses a recent crackdown on dissent has seen antigovernment protesters arrested some an edge of the torch and. Well alshabaab is claiming responsibility for the latest bomb and gun attack in somalia a 5 hour siege at a hotel in the capital mogadishu killed at least 16 people and injured 40 a shootout followed a suspected car bomb explosion 5 attackers government officials and a Police Officer are among the dead. The feeling that i can buy a car full of explosives was rammed into the front gate of the hotel then attack is from alshabaab stormed into the hotel and started shooting at everyone they came across i saw many dead bodies on the ground the situation in there is really miserable. Now in sudan its the 1st anniversary of the signing of the power sharing deal following the overthrow of longtime leader of al bashir but many sudanese complain the promise transition to democracy is too slow i havent woken reports from khartoum. When sudans military and protest leaders signed a power sharing agreement in august last year millions of sudanese saw it as a new start after months of political turmoil but a year on Mohammed Abdul says not enough has changed but what more can you sort of with alone on when we started the revolution it was because of the economy and when the 1st massive fell the goal became justice for those who had lost their lives in this revolution we promised to hold those who killed civilians to account their main demand is not yet means they can be no moving forward if the main demand of those who took to the street is not achieved. His friend muhammad ali says the power sharing agreement between the military and civilian leaders is flawed. Anybody that the Political Parties did not have a long term vision they were in a rush to reach a deal they lacked a National Spirit and went into negotiations based on the interests of their own respective parties and leaders now its difficult for them to lead in the interest of the people at heart of the signing of the power sharing agreement known as the constitutional declaration came after months of negotiations following the fall of president already the coalition known as the forces of freedom and change which led antigovernment protests demanded a say on how the country would be governed the deal with the army paved the way for the creation of a Transitional Sovereignty Council with the military leading for the 1st 21 month and a civilian for the remaining 18 months it included articles to ground sudanese more freedom and prioritized ending conflicts in various parts of the country it also included steps towards democratic governance and stipulates that the executive power be granted to the Prime Minister and his cabinet and the formation of a Legislative Assembly theres still time to 7 months to go in the transitional period before elections are due but many of the provisions of the power sharing agreement are yet to be implemented a peace deal is it to be signed and there was still no Legislative Assembly that is supposed to oversee the Transitional Government. The military has ruled sudan for more than 50 years of the country 64 years of independence some analysts say its up to the International Community to make sure sudan completes a transition to democracy the story of the constitution declaration was a settlement to reach a political stability in this country its been a year since it was signed in the people who protested are still guarding their revolution and the International Community is one of the important factors that can make sure that no one hindrances this transition the us has sanctioned people it deems him during the transition the International Community should now act as a safeguard to the deal that was signed last year despite how slow the 1st year of transition has been Mohamed El Galle says they still reason for. Optimism shall who see it that it made on your heart that people have shown that they will have the final say in how they want to be ruled no external or internal force can compete with the will of the people a will that has brought an end to 30 years of president bush years rule those who protest that see theyll continue campaigning until today becomes a democracy people morgan is there a lot of them and millions in gaza facing electricity blackouts israel close the main crossing to import diesel for the only power plant israel says its responding to hamas rocket attacks and fire bomb balloons from gaza and egyptian delegation is in the besieged palestinian territory to meet leaders of hamas and Islamic Jihad well we can now speak talk correspondent hari force that he is in west jerusalem ari what is driving this escalation here on both sides. Well it will began. 10 days or 2 weeks ago with an uptick in the. From guns of the in century believes in kind of the being used to set fires on the israeli side of the fence and since then theres been a very strong response in terms of airstrikes and these punitive measures from israel and so were seeing the path. Towards an escalation that weve seen before there have been rocket fire from gaza strikes which have injured Young Children inside gaza and indeed what the what they call nighttime disturbances along the fence as well where groups of Young Palestinian men throw explosive devices and the like and so the heart of it i think is whats been going on in the gazan economy is 55 percent of people below the poverty line the leadership of hamas is concerned that israel has not as far as it is concerned made good on the promises that came from a calming of the escalations last year which hamas understood to include the development of an Industrial Zone of assistance allowing investment in Infrastructure Projects allowing gaza based palestinian workers out into israel to earn money that did happen that last thing for a while but it was closed down by the coronavirus restrictions and at the same time theyre also looking at the potential and a 6 month pledge of these tens of 1000000. 00 regular payments from qatar which is huge and and september as things stand and so those are the sorts of motivations that quite often lead to these kinds of escalations well given the situation now whats being done to try to calm this whole. Well as you say there is this egyptian delegation inside. Just. Need a ship in the occupied west bank and so theyre obviously assets on the way but as far as the. Situation appears its not looking particularly good in terms of a quick. Sense minister alternate Prime Minister a former rival of Benjamin Netanyahu benny gantz. During his Election Campaigns against. Criticized him for his policy on gaza saying that he would be tough and indeed he is saying that until there is wired in southern israel it will be no quiet in gaza that every rocket every. Brings with it an address a return address for hamas but the kinds of measures that are being imposed restricting down to 0 the mountains. And being fuel supplies meaning that this plans will have to stop operating. Out of the. Calculus already there is only an 8 hours on. Kind of operation going on that is going to be reduced significantly so the population. Thank you very much. For. That. Youre. Caught it is time for sport on top of whats next for barcelona whats next thats the question thank you very much in the barcelona head coach kiki said jan is expected to be officially sacked on monday the clubs president just said bartle mo told a spanish Radio Station on sunday that city has already been removed the move follows process humiliating 82 defeat against by munich in the champions the quarterfinals and the clubs a failure to attain their league a title now that ends a coat of Ronald Koeman and new company legend savvy are among the leading candidates to take over there are also reports on sunday that he wants to leave barcelona the argentinians contract expires next year and if he doesnt we knew hell be available for free transfer at the end of the coming season messi has been at the club since 2001. Now joining us the f. Has been hayward the spanish Football Correspondent for the u. K. Newspaper the evening found that ben festival where did it all go wrong for boss the leno i mean its a good question i think its being gradually going wrong the boss and i race not just a case of one bad night against by munich 8 to of course a humiliating result but i think if we look back over the last you know 2 or 3 years you know season basutos or no its so difficult i dont feel the previous season the last 3 no out romantic rush out the champions they even got to luis enrique as rain in the last season you know a possible net loss of power center man it was the combined to win it out but then they crushed out losing 3 you know events of so that have problems the big teams in the Champions League for a long long time and i think were just saying now that the full extent of those issues then do you think this new coach whoever will be fixing their problems all. Well busyness buddha meeting right now to discuss all of that as you mentioned just before i came on set and its not going to continue it looks like its going to be one of qumran taking over hes a boss a legend of course he helped sponsor when the european cup back in 1900 very popular they got but hes got a great leap being tossed on his hands because of course president doesnt have much money this somewhat like many clubs use of a situation because of the 90 and you know the sport needs an overhaul its an aging squad you know guys like louis what its. Even messi 33 years old now but if you go through the team its a site that meets that city need of you know young blood players who can come in and press and run like we saw it from buying munich on friday night so i think theres a lot of work to be done and you know change a coach in the middle of this season and ultimately didnt solve the issues changing coach now im thinking if it goes beyond the coach a thing and its. A whole and i look at many many things the recruitment policy the academy a lot of you know changes or was through the club as p. K. Hinted and by this much interview tonight and speaking of nestler been reporting for the past few weeks that the negotiations for his new contract have failed how serious chat and that is there any serious chance that he could leave the club and if he does how much of a blow would it for the would it be for barcelona. But i think it would be a huge blow despite the fact that he didnt have his best night either on friday night he remains. The player he has to drag this team to so many titles and so many glories over the last 15 years or more as you mentioned and he remains might be the best player in the out so great reports of whats in his plans i understand that he hasnt told us alone and that he its going to leave we have a true laws lets remember the end of the season which allowed him to leave for free but he let that close expire and as you say his contract its now up at the end of next season by the end of next season of course we have president ial elections so i think whats happening here is that messi is playing a little bit of pressure and he wants to see real change also not a sport winning project you know that will allow him to challenge for the Champions League and all the big trophies in his final years the club but certainly its a worrying sign it if things dont improve soon he will consider his future and spanish Football Correspondent for the u.
