Protests and Political Uncertainty in kenyatta Opposition Leader right now danger withdraws from the repeats president ial election and also ahead. And the wind was just howling and so i knew this is it going to get out he was one of the lucky ones the death toll in the California Wildfires rises to more than twenty. The ballot. In faction how martha has its reached a deal on political reconciliation with a move that could signal an end to a decade long divide between the two groups hamas and fatah have been meeting in the egyptian capital cairo to discuss the formation of a National Unity government negotiations brokered by egypt started on tuesday details of the outcome of the agreement reached overnight will be revealed at a News Conference later today lets go live to aljazeera is harry fasted who is in ramallah in the occupied west bank harry are you getting any more details about what was agreed and also whats the reaction today from palestinians to this news well there are some details emerging as were expecting this News Conference in the next hour or so that will be were in the full public face of this agreement is presented but we have been hearing from a faster senior fighter representative in gaza whos been saying that three main topics for discussion have been agreed the issue of how the Border Crossing with egypt is policed the issue of employees the thousands of tens of thousands of hamas employees whove been doing government work during the division how they may be or some of them may be reintegrated into the power sue Authority Government and also the issue of internal security how p. A. A. Security staff may well be reintegrated into an operation which has been run by hamas during the last ten years as for the reaction in gaza it is really pretty desperately optimistic if you can put those two words together the situation the humanitarian situation has been so bad exacerbated this year it has to be said by the further restrictive measures put in place by the Palestinian Authority to try to pressure hamas to make this deal that people there are hopeful that finally things may start to change for their lives. Well there was it. When we used to hear about any reconciliation efforts we would think immediately of the failure of it but we hope this time is different unity could at least solve the power crisis and bring happiness to the gazan people. Weve had enough eleven years of suffering without electricity no medicine for old people no traveling we want to live like other nations so harry optimism there from the people of gaza but there are so outstanding issues and one of them. The issue of who is going to govern gaza politically who is going to be responsible for governing as. Well certainly the the agreement thats been put in that we understand is being put in place would make the Palestinian Authority the governing entity in garza once more and indeed when hamas dissolved its own Administrative Committee inviting the Palestinian Authority back into gaza the ministerial handover as we saw at the Cabinet Meeting which took place last week that is where this is all going and indeed we are hearing from facts are that the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas if this goes as planned will be there within the month or not as a visitor but as for president of garza as well as here in the occupied west bank so that is who would be in charge the question which remains outstanding is exactly how the military wing of hamas features in all of this in the future self is made public pronouncements about not wanting to preside over lebanese style situation where theres a hezbollah like military alternative center of power that is not on the table as far as hamas is concerned at least officially in these talks over it maybe theres some sort of unofficial accommodation whereby the military wing remains out of sight to some extent out of mind and that any major decisions over war fighting or peacemaking are taken in some kind of consensual way those are the signals that have been emanating from from both sides in the days preceding these talks harry any reaction from israel. Nothing as yet to this i think presumably they as we all are waiting for the official announcement coming out of cairo there has been in the last few days a reaction to the prospect of this from the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in which he was again of course critical of hamas saying that any real reconciliation would need to have a recognition of israel and an end to the threat to israels existence a part of that however that language is much more muted than the kind of the kind of language that he was putting in his way in or sending imuss way in twenty eleven twenty fourteen when there have been other near misses at this reconciliation similarly fairly muted language as well from the americans it does seem that everybody is kind of standing back and allowing this to happen at least and certainly as far as egyptians are concerned pushing for it to happen both hamas and fatah find themselves in a pretty difficult situation hamas with a humanitarian crisis on its hands with the prospect of hamas turning to a former fighter figure an alternative father figure mohammed. And so this is a way of trying to fend off both of those situations given that they are able to try and resolve the outstanding issues that still remain further down the line very fast thank you very much for that. Now the new spain is celebrating its national day as the political crisis over the future of the catalonia region depends many people have already taken to the streets this. Boss alone i believe in a show of unity independence rallies also expected now the Central Government in madrid has given. Until monday to say whether or not he has declared independence these are live pictures from madrid where the National Day Celebrations as you can see where underway lets go live to our. Believe who is in madrid for us lawrence tell us about the mood in the spanish capital on the street. Yeah i mean you know as if as if the last fortnight havent been dramatic enough to have Spanish National day roy to the day knew more of this crisis is the most extraordinary piece of timing with a look over here just so you can see what its like probably if you could go over there have a look its its always really heavily militarized this event is going to be that the king just composite a rolls royce there was a great big twenty one gun salute is going to be a fly of about the airport in a minute and parachutes in the military vehicles on the streets and so you know its a pretty right wing event is very much king and country here locals with a cattle and they would say theres a whisper franco about about all of these things but its been absolutely use right now by the Spanish Government to try to press home their advantage against the catalans because when all the people of the regions a spy and stop parading post here with the flags its a basic message of the confluences say look were united is the whole of spain against you so back in your box but stop with the independence and just go home and forget it so its a perfect opportunity really for madrid to press home will appears to be its advantage of the moment against the council and president s in the Pro Independence movement yet were watching live pictures now and the king King Philippe right now greeting cabin. Members i believe along with his family hes greeted the military. Actually falling hes just on the platform yes exactly thats right it was sort of way through the suite we have and were looking at him right now greeting cabinet members we heard last night yesterday rather from the spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy who gave this ultimatum nor and still. To say whether or not theyve declared independence what has been the response from the leaders and whats the state of play right now politically. Well i mean look the bump in the points is this they know the president in a complete cleft stick you know theyre giving us all monday to say what do you get whats going to be you going to do independent or you know how to do independence if he says yes i am then they invoke article one hundred five take back the powers to madrid and presumably call fresh elections and similar taney a slate of course the biggest it probably depends when it is split the risk is that the catalan president loses his support base for the people who are more cautious if he says no im not going independent democrat automatically wins the Pro Independence movement collapses as well because the left wing the party which wants it now said well forget it were off so its a lose lose. And its a brilliant madrids pulled against them because it knows that theyve got him absolutely all over a barrel now. Really is going to respond thank you very much for that. Capital madrid where National Day Celebrations are happening. Not to the u. S. Sent two more people have been confirmed dead from wildfires in the state of california bringing the total number of People Killed to twenty three hundreds of others are still missing and with high winds picking up the operation to contain the flames is even more difficult reynolds reports from los angeles. High winds low humidity and dry brush the ingredients of californias fire disaster are simple all they need is a spark if you get that ignition and you dont get that if you dont get that ignition put out right away then those are the conditions that allow a wildfire to spread really uncontrollably hot winds from the desert blow eastward every october just as the forest and brush is at its trius many wildfires are almost impossible to contain with winds of up to one hundred sixty Kilometers Per Hour propelling the flames along fire experts say while brush fires are inevitable the destruction they cause is not its going to be far easier cheaper and effective to reengineer our homes and communities than the try to reengineer the forest if you just do one thing. Replace rooftops with nonflammable materials like a metal roof that alone can increase the probability of a home surviving a wildfire by ninety to ninety five percent for more than a century the conventional wisdom was to fight forest fires at almost all costs the consequence it has allowed the underbrush and dry fuel to build up making fires burn with even greater intensity what we need to be doing is working with wildfires not fighting against them. The whole war on wildfire paradigm is a complete distortion and were just throwing lots of blood and treasure into absolute folly making war on nature is essentially what its about firefighters are doing their best there are several thousand firefighters on the line right now we have firefighters from throughout california san diego to the northern border but Scientists Say those who have built their homes and businesses in harms way cant count on firefighters to save them theres always a lag time in these fires between the time that the fire starts and the time that they can get people out of the way getting resources to start to protect against it and its in that lag time that people in that lag time that a lot of the the bad things happen a new approach in how people should deal with nature along with changes in planning and Building Design could help keep things from going from bad to worse robert oulds zero los angeles to a head on al jazeera find out why more than one hundred former professional ice hockey players want to see the ne plus.

Yes resin donald trump is annoying allegations he wants to dramatically increase the size of Americas Nuclear weapons arsenal but he admits there are key policy differences between himself and Top Republicans in his cabinet and in congress a White House Correspondent kimberly reports have you both here and an Oval Office Meeting with canadas Prime Minister u. S. President donald trump hit back at reports he wants to increase u. S. Nuclear capabilities to ten times its present size though its use fake news by n. B. C. Which gives a lot of fake news lately and its frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write the us president has repeatedly voiced his frustration with the media and almost as frequently an apparent willingness to exercise military might against north koreas missile threat. So i desire to increase of Americas Nuclear arsenal wouldnt be surprising. But for some like republican senator bob corker trumps words are concerning. Trump is ridiculed corker openly for his statements exposing an escalating rift between the president some republicans in congress and even members of his own cabinet. One of those said to be out of step in favoring diplomacy over force with north korea secretary of state Rex Tillerson who has again seen his efforts undermined i think i have a little bit. Different attitude on north korea than other people might have. And i listen to everybody but ultimately my attitude is the one that matters is that such infighting carried out in public which could involve cabinet discussions over Nuclear Weapons may put the president s policy goals in peril president s the only main power they have is to persuade. And once you become that person who is putting yourself in between people for on fights as opposed to bring them together its much more difficult to go and ask for something and get something done this latest white house rift comes at a particularly bad time on another of Americas Nuclear fronts the president has until the end of the week to recertify irans compliance with the terms of the twenty fifteen agreement to limit Irans Nuclear program or pull out of the deal kimberly help that aljazeera washington. Meanwhile to say senior senators in the u. S.

U. Has also responded with new sanctions asset freezes and travel bans. When we visited theodosia the turbines if thats what they were had disappeared perhaps theyre already here one of the two new power plants being built in crimea but russian technicians are expected to face significant problems getting them to work because siemens is refusing Technical Assistance this whole siemens gas turbine saga illustrates in a nutshell the bines that russia has got itself into and trying to wriggle past the e.
