To hand the country a 4 year ban on from all sporting events. We begin with new zealand where a volcano has erupted killing at least 5 people many more are still missing a webcam set up to monitor a white island called the moment of the eruption a number of people thought to be a tall group can be seen moving towards the crater up to 50 people including visitors from a cruise ship were on the island when the volcano sent a plume of smoke and ash thousands of metres into the edges. As the latest. Thick smoke and ash rises thousands of meters into the air as the white island volcano also known by its indigenous madi name as for caare erupts 50 kilometers off the coast of new zealand releasing toxic fumes of sulfur and chlorine dozens of tourists were on the island some seen walking on the crates of floor moments before the eruption police said more than 20 people managed to get off the island some in boats others including some of the injured by helicopter volcanic ash is now hampering rescue attempts to get to the island so unfortunately i can confirm there are 5 people now deceased from the eruption. A number of other people have been taken to the hospital and move more hospital. A number of people have burns as a as a result of the eruption new zealands Prime Minister has called for calm i know there will be a huge amount of consume and anxiety for those who have loved ones on or around the island at the time and i can assure them police are doing everything they can why thailand is located in the bay of plenty and has been active for at least 150000 years its new zealands largest and most unpredictable volcano erupting every couple of years releasing gas clouds steam and rocks the alert level was raised last month warning the volcano may experience a period of activity more than normal its not a particularly big eruption is is sieved it was kind of. Almost like a throat clearing kind of eruption and thats why material probably wont have made it to mainly new zealand one my kid my only in new zealand on the scheme of things for volcanic eruptions its not live but if youre close to this is not good Emergency Services say its too early to confirm the number of injuries or deaths but there are fears of more fatalities Mohammed Al Jazeera one is that raymond is a journalist with news hobby shes in for qahtani new zealand one of the closest towns to the volcano originally the helicopters were managed to get close to the shore the boats. The paramedics to the island but theyve now had to leave because of the ash there is a no fly zone for about 26 nautical miles around the island theres a 5 kilometer radius exclusion zone no one is around no one is allowed to break that zone until they are given the all clear from more thorough days which no one is happy about simply because its so heartbreaking to know that there are people still on that island and not accounted for but simply theyre not willing to risk any more lives at this stage no this island is not heavy heavy so that its purely people visit it just for the experience of being on an active volcano its usually sits at a level one alert risk and they are daily to was going the Tourists International tourists but also locals visitors coming and going out to see this incredible volcano that we have literally ferry ride away from so its a very popular destination but what we understand is that the only people that are on me at the moment are those who were part of one of the total groups that leafed earlier today going on a trip of a lifetime and have not managed to get off their our missions the service is standing by waiting for the ash to clear.

Of more on this lets bring in all of what shes in new delhi for sancia where is parliament right now in terms of voting on this bill. Well the bill has been tabled in the parliament and the parliamentarians with the thumping majority have wanted for the tabling of the bill in the parliament for the introduction of the bill in the parliament now it will be debated but a few fear whether you know its going to pass on our because the international is 40 has the numbers and everybody expects the bill to go through in the lower house off to reach it would go to the upper house and then the international sparty does not quite have the numbers but it is broadly seen to be calling the shots there too because it has many allies who sit in the upper house just some experts are saying it might be a little bit more difficult for this government to pass this bill than it was to revoke the autonomy often did administers the shmita article 370. 00 because Many Political parties in india also back the minorities the muslims like in the state of what it was for instance so as far as awarding is concerned the bill has been introduced in the parliament now its going to be debated and later once it goes to the lower house it would be then taken for walking to the opera house. Monica john is relieved to be back home but remains haunted by the full reaction 4 months she spent in a Detention Center for us tribunals which has the job of identifying Illegal Migrants center there he said but money consistent she is an indian citizen and produces several documents to prove it she says she was born in india and a father and grandfather to get him a little i distinctly remember those they seem to detention camps how can i ever forget it was like i was inside a grave thats a space i had just that much. Her neighbor are sure that b. B. Says her husband died when she was in the Detention Center who breaks down as she recalls not being allowed to attend his funeral. Involves other people convicted of serious crimes are eligible for parole people sent to these Detention Centers are not im going to live a longer me they are. Spend 3 years in a Detention Center because he says his name had been respected in a government document i dont want to do is hardly going to bring paul hill just a tiny gap between the beds so when we carried a bucket of water to go to the toilet and spilled even a drop of the convicts and beat us. The horrors this tribunals have declared over 100000 people as illegal foreigners and sent to nearly a 1000 to languish in Detention Centers until they are deported but activists say no country can be expected to accept them because a large majority if not all are indian citizens of. Nearly 2000000 people in assam are missing from a recently released list of indian citizens their fate will be decided by the tribunals judgements which are often criticised nearly everyone in these villages now has a well kept by all of documents to prove that they in fact are indian citizens but many here accuse of foreigners tribunals the 1st authority to determine their status of ordering wrongful detentions indias government is preparing to pass a citizenship Amendment Bill which would grant citizenship to hindu migrants but not muslims activists say the government intends to target the Minority Community they want to go toward india no mans land everywhere everywhere we can go we are innocent and we are trying to become. Transformed from these folk or for this to be a hard lesson well they havent yet. Life of the Atlantic John and i see the are terrified as are many other muslims they think that while bengalis who are hindu be sieved by the hindu majority Indian Government muslims will be systematically be to state less so and show as we were saying at the top there and it was reflected in your report a lot of opposition to this bill particular from leaders in the Muslim Community what one of theyve been saying about all this. Where you know there is a lot of opposition not just by the leaders in the most of communities but also intellectuals also political analysts political scientists journalists many people are opposing it what theyre saying is that if the governments intention as the government says is to protect religiously persecuted minorities then why not also accept and hella proving jr muslims in myanmar but thats not what the government is doing it is very specific that it wants to protect hindus christians sikhs and jains but excludes muslims when it grant citizenship on the basis of religion that it moves closer to being a hindu nation and. Moves away from being a secular state and the idea of india is all for being a secular state so everyone is saying that the constitution of india says the right at the beginning we the people it does not say we hindus we the muslims so they say that this bill actually discriminates against the Minority Community or i for the moment shall want to live for us there in new delhi thank you or harsh mander is director of the center for equity studies he believes the bill goes against indias secular constitution. Its quite transparent he doesnt get into the muslim minorities in india and in fact it is probably the most feet. To the entire idea of india as imagine doing a freedom struggle or as gauged in the constitution of india but the central idea of india was this this is a country that we dont believe. In the bushes and george do me good they come to you to go into this off that it is a good thing even though but just on this part out of india asms the Mission Garden he in fact daid in defense of this idea that india would instantly joyous to live in india would be equal citizens in m. T. V. The present government is part of the whole stream that was opposed to this idea from the very start and they never accepted this secular constitution and this law this no i mean this bill which is being considered bottom to be if it does bust i do believe that it marks the end of the Secular Democratic or of india because you dont deem that we are doing this in order to persecute and minorities in an evil neighborhood what about the new india in in line money what about the hand lydias in but just on what about the losing in china their own in a neighborhood. Demon or be accepted they may not be given citizenship and they would need difference between them and those who would be given citizenship is there to be decided and that is not the bases in the india was ever imagined and it must be abused. As a strong b. And is firmly. But every indian who believes that this should be a humane and into some treat. Oh plenty more ahead on this news hour Rights Group SaysSudans Rapid Support Forces are a threat to its emerging democracy. By so fighters are gone from mosul but anger remains in this northern iraqi city. And later in sport the 20 year old from slovenia who just broke one of Michael Jordans records in the n. B. A. So lets go ahead but 1st turkey has sent more suspected eyesore members and their families to their home countries this time to france 11 suspects have been defaulted joining more than 60 other foreign nationals whove been sent home by turkey since mid november most of them have come from france or germany but theyve also been others from belgium australia and the United States turkey has been holding more than 1200 suspected eisel fighters in its prisons and in Northern Syria last month turkey announced that it would be ramping up its efforts to deport more i saw fights as well natasha is live for us now in paris so natasha what is the french government been saying about this then. Well so far we havent had any confirmation from the french government as to whether these 11 suspected eisel fighters have been sent from turkey or whether or not theyve arrived in france or theyre on their way all we know is that back in november when the turkish government announced that it would be deporting some of these suspected eisel fighters that the French Interior minister chris of the time confirmed that france would indeed receive them under an agreement that had been made back in 2014 between france and turkey so it was a different government before president microns government has been very adamant that they do not wish to receive adult eisel suspects the french government says that they are open to receiving children minors but not adults now what normally happens though when suspects are arrive here in france is that they are arrested as soon as they do arrive and that they then face the French Justice system but as i said because the french government does not want to receive our adult suspects believing that they should be tried in the area where they committed their crimes they the relationship between france and turkey is probably going to be further strained by this and of course weve seen just recently how that has become increasingly tense last week emmanuel mackerel suggesting that turkey was taking unilateral decisions outside of nato rules at a nato summit in london and of course the turkish president has recently accused the french president of harboring terrorists because of a man or my calls and meetings with kurdish groups but i should thank you syrian activists say more than 18000 people have been displaced in rebel held province in the last 24 hours syrian and russian government the airstrikes picked up despite a ceasefire announced by russia in august at least 10 civilians were killed on sunday. Well lets speak now to marwan. For more on this hes joins us in doha he is the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies good to speak with you again marwan so let me ask you 1st of all what do you make of this development by the by the reports 800000 people displaced just in 24 hours alone what is behind this then well has and i think it looks very much like there is a massive offensive by the regime and its allies in order to capture the main towns along the m 5 between them the main road in 5 is the main road between hamas and liberal and of president bashar assad the forces of the regime of president bashar assad are trying actually to capture them in towns along that road it has been for me for a long actually the main target of the Syrian Government there was an agreement actually between turkey and russia. Concerning of course this part of it but that agreement has been actually violated many times and we are seeing it one more time actually because as i said i mean this is going to be for the regime a very important military operation for actually begin in control of this main road between her and aleppo and as weve seen with other attacks by forces backed up by Russian Forces is this an attempt to kind of create facts on the ground in syria before any permanent settlement i dont think there is going to be a bit of a permanent settlement anytime soon because it is going to be a very thought any issue and the relationship between russia and turkey and the talk on that is a have been trying over the past couple of years actually to have like like an agreement. To have like a settlement a political settlement for for. They they did that actually in n. September 2018 when they tried to establish a Demilitarized Zone in the south and east part of it but that agreement actually has been as i said before violated many times by the Syrian Regime and its forces the major issue right now in my opinion is the main the road. Its very important from an economic best specter of. I think that is going to all lead probably to a complete collapse of that agreement which has been actually knew would last september at the sochi summit between president of the grand and president vladimir putin. And as weve seen from the pictures that were just showing 3 there its the told the biggest toll for all of this is being is on is on civilians living in those areas what what sort of effect i
