For election tampering as blather the kremlin slams it as absurd. Ethiopias defense minister defends the implementation of a state of emergency which bans protests for six months. And the crowds pay their respects to zimbabwes Opposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai as a body returns home. And i will begin with a developing story is ready jets have struck the gaza strip are to force soldiers were wounded in a blast along the border with the enclave an explosion which left two of the Israeli Soldiers severely injured is one of the most serious incidents on the border the hamas ruled gaza strip since the twenty fourteen war minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to respond appropriately understand an official said the israeli attacks included air strikes against three have training camps. Todays incident on the gaza strip border was severe we were responding appropriately i send my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded this week to hurry for sit in west jerusalem so i guess a bit more of the information that this incident. As you say it is a serious incidents its a considerable escalation from what happened earlier today with that that explosion which which damaged z. G. And wounded seriously two Israeli Soldiers and moderately two others what weve had since then is a large scale israeli response the Israeli Air Force sending fighters to bomb six targets within gaza one of them Israeli Military says it was a tunnel which was being dug towards is ready territory at least two others were military compounds as i say six targets in all there was then a rocket that was fired from gaza towards and it is ready town of shot one again that struck the roof of a house there sirens had already sounded no injuries or deaths resulting from that incident and then most recently of all weve had reports of four potentially five depending on which sources could be correct in this. Gazans being injured by israeli tank fire coming from the israeli side there are reports in israeli media suggesting that the the people involved were trying to penetrate the border fence from within gaza the Gazan Health Ministry says that two people were injured in that incident and that three a missing the israeli media talking about four people having been involved in that and that military sources are talking about some fatalities being possible in that incident two of our our consulate boom in the last few weeks and months in that area. Well certainly the tensions have been ramping up since the beginning december when we had the declaration by donald trump that israel run the jerusalem should be regarded as the capital of israel there were protests very significant ones in gaza often coming very close to that border fence the israelis today have been saying that those protests at least in this incident in this instance have been used as cover for what they call terror activities the placing of this explosive device beyond that as well of course there is the fast its irritating still eman its arion situation within gaza the chief of the israeli army got the eyes and hearts reportedly in the last couple weeks has been warning of the potential for further military conflict spurred on by that humanitarian catastrophe are going for greater humanitarian aid how mass also reportedly talking about the prospects of some kind of a real israeli incursion under the cover of u. S. Israeli military exercises so both sides have been talking about the prospects of further conflict however of the now at least the reports out of gaza were getting are that things are quiet again and it may be possible still and presumably both sides would intend for this to happen after this to deescalate from what has been one of the most severe clashes along the gaza border for some years however said thank you very much neal. War of words has erupted between the u. S. And russia over the indictment of thirteen russian nationals for election meddling russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has dismissed the indictments as just blather saying there were no facts to back them up but u. S. National security adviser h. R. Mcmaster said the evidence of espionage and subversion was undeniable on friday special Counsel Robert Mueller charged thirteen russians with running a huge social media trolling campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton its a yes i have no response you can publish anything and we have seen those indictments and ive also read the statements from the Homeland Security adviser in the u. S. Who denied the reports that any country to influence the Election Results the same was said by mike pence either here or maybe in another European Capital so until we hear the facts Everything Else is just blather well ray charles has more from moscow. Russian response so far has essentially amplified a sense of incredulity incredulity that thirteen people could of influence the voting of more than three hundred million americans incredulity that these thirteen people could have acted against the billion dollar budgets of u. S. Intelligence services and counterintelligence against all the latest innovations and technologies. Guinea prigogine who is right at the heart of this indictment is what is widely believed the financial muscle behind this troll farm in St Petersburg is also known by the way as putin the chef a billionaire businessman and now he says well the americans are very impressionable people and they see what they want to see he doesnt mind being on this list years already on a u. S. Sanctions list and says that if the americans want to see the devil will let them the russians are also going to be drilling down into the fact that this indictment doesnt explicitly say that the russian government sponsored this election meddling efforts and also that the indictment doesnt say the russian actually changed the outcome of the elections russians also be very aware that the United States doesnt have an entirely clean record was when we got when it comes during meddling in other peoples elections theyve done it numerous times in numerous countries over the years and they in fact have done it in russia too in one hundred ninety six when part of the elson looked like he was going to be losing an election to the communists well it was the us political advisors that wasnt for him the claims of election meddling and not the any issue that the u. S. And russia are today over at the security conference taking place in munich the different points of view on nato syria and iran but all clearly on display from the conference they try to has more. Russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov took center stage at the Munich Security Conference to accuse nato of a military buildup in Eastern Europe describing International Relations as going through turmoil he reached out to the European Union we didnt. See them create we want to have a predictable and strong e. U. Which will be irresponsible on the foreign scene but in remarks clearly aimed at the United States he attacked washingtons policies on syria and iran that we cannot approach these issues from an even more dangerous standpoint and i mean the middle east conflict and try to resolve it through heightening the tensions between sunni and shia its highly dangerous and you can see the president Trumps National security advisor was quick to hit back at russias role in syria publicly kelson photos clearly show that assads chemical weapons use is continuing it is time for all nations to hold the Syrian Regime and its sponsors and countable for their actions and supports the efforts of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons but mostest said syria and north korea were not the only rogue states he said iran was building its hizbollah militia into a large proxy army what iran is actually doing is applying the hezbollah model to the greater middle east in which they they want weak governments in power they want the arab world to be perpetually weak. And theres weak governments in power that are dependent on iran for support kept at bay by thousands of Police Demonstrators gathered in the falling snow around the Conference Center they come every year to oppose nato and call for disarmament. But this year the demonstration has been different its been marked by a large contingent of kurdish demonstrators protesting against the turkish incursion against the kurdish enclaves in Northern Syria to the turkish claims of making war an effort there are lots of kids and if they are dying its forbidden the british Prime Minister to reserve may began the day at the conference with a keynote speech calling for a special relationship with the European Union on security after briggs it so as we leave the e. U. And fortune you pass for ourselves in the world the u. K. Is just as committed to europes security in the future as we have been in the past the sentiment and content of a speech was well received by delegates but everyone is now waiting to see if an equally special relationship can be developed on economic ties posts breaks it just exactly what her vision really is david chase or aljazeera unic.

Students from the school in a florida west seventeen people were shot dead on wednesday i mean among those holding a protest rally to demand tighter gun control a teenager whos been charged with the murders is a former student at the high school who police say was able to buy weapons legally one survivor of the shooting had a message for president trump. He was. Was. A mistake. And while pressure is mounting on the director of the f. B. I. To resign after the agency admitted it failed to act on a warning about the suspected gunman someone close to Nicholas Cruz called an f. B. I. Tip line back in january to warn that he had a gun and wanted to kill hes now been charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder. Jeff stein the National Security correspondent for newsweek says the focus on possible f. B. I. Iris isnt helpful i think that the attention to what the f. B. I. Did or didnt do is really misplaced here the local police were very familiar with mr cruz and many answered many calls and complaints to where he was living the f. B. I. Investigates federal crimes was mr cruz committing a federal crime or plotting to create a federal crime no he was not so although the f. B. I. Screwed up big time absolutely i think that focusing on ed and especially the partisan attacks on f. B. I. Director ray are really misplaced hes not going to resign over this these attacks are designed to undermine further undermine the f. B. I. Which is a lead investigating agency connected connections between the trumpet administration and russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen elections and thats where these complaints are coming from theyre all coming from republicans who want to further undermine the authority of the f. B. I. Thats what this is all about the f. B. I. Does not have a jurisdiction in the School Shootings thats a local Police Matter furthermore it seems to me the question should be raised about why teenagers are able to buy assault weapons or anyone able to buy an assault weapon the body of a filipino maid was found in a freezer in kuwait has been returned to minette death strained relations between the philippines and kuwait with president reagan to tassie ordering the repatriation of thousands of Filipino Workers and banning the deployment there so mr dunn has the reaction from quite city.

For many filipinos a job in the gulf is a lifeline for extended families some my space and the life and i. Dont have they dont get that. Good it went from us philippine authorities however say complaints of abuse compelled them to take action we have. Five thousand. Complaints of abuse last year. Including treatment Sexual Harassment and rape you hear the philippine ban on allowing new workers to go to kuwait is a problem for them and you can now only after over a decade in kuwait van jones a restaurant and Money Exchange businesses she needs to expand her work force the president s ban she says is holding her back. In some of my stuff was one of the. This is a really very very big problem was the officials are critical to of the ban they concede it might be necessary to. Review some quality measures like the ability of sponsors to hold Migrant Workers passports however they say the philippine president s statements have only complicated the situation at the moment.
