Activists working on their behalf were trying to make an appeal to the israeli courts to stop the demolition but 2 weeks ago israeli courts said the demolition was going to go ahead of because these buildings were illegal one final thing the Palestinian Authority is very concerned that this is going to set a precedent of a lot of the israeli authorities to carry out more demolitions like this.

Hello there its all about the rains across Southern India they really have been ramping up across this particular region for the last few days now it is about time we saw some decent rainfall down in this particular area and you can see a little 24 hours 154 millimeters and that into mangler now that was in 24 hours but in fact in 48 hours you can see 276 the average for mangalore at this time of year is 1200. 00 millimeters so its a good amount but obviously not near the average just yet now you can see on the 4 calls for the next couple days more rain still very much across this Western Region all down the Western Ghats but also youll notice back into the forecasts here all the way up into nepal and across into bangladesh and again the northeast of india and when you look at the forecast over the next few hours take is the overnight hours the rains actually becoming much more extensive across the central areas that is some good news because this is where we havent really had those monsoon rains really for the last several days but what isnt such good news of course is the prolonged rain across these areas down the Western Ghats all the way through there and that does mean that we could well see some localized flooding and also back into the northeast so we could once again be facing the situation we see more pictures coming out of this region again as floodwaters continue to increase.

That is ready forces have. 100 palestinian homes in the occupied west Bank President s of where they are home a 7 year legal battle after Israels High Court dismissed the case despite the line being under the administration of the Palestinian Authority. Now the largest city in southern iraq is rich in oil but government leaders in basra are accused of being poor in providing clean Drinking Water 120000 citizens need hospital treatment in the past year after Drinking Water polluted with sewage and toxic waste many therapies unless the problem is fixed binge of its reports. The fish are just about breathing but it looks like theyll be taking their last gasp soon shimming next to a Treatment Plant one of many providing water from salty tributaries and canals to the more than 4000000 people of. The aging network is unable to cope with rising demand. The quantity as well as quality of the water is a major concern. Was among 120000. 00 iraqis who needed hospital treatment after drinking polluted water last year his family struggles to afford the 15. 00 needed every day dubai clean water from privately owned tanker companies. I have recently developed a skin disease from filthy water in our taps and it took me 6 months to get treated. A majority of the affected are been in children this water of water costs about 0. 50 not everyone in bus can afford bottles like this one what many people are able to afford is water from taps like these which come directly from the river and its tributaries and it is this polluted water which has been the cause of sending more than 120000 people to hospital in the city which is home to more than 4 and a half 1000000 people since last years outbreak of disease the problems have been identified but solutions require serious efforts and funds a supply of clean water is among the many basic services lacking in this oil rich city. Or the real cause of Water Pollution come from the main water sources high level of salinity and bacterial contamination after the corrosion of water pipelines and there are infrastructure issues contributing to bus rose water problems. Human rights watch says untreated sewage as well as industrial and agricultural waste is pumped into waterways the fear is that this situation is only going to get worse because authorities havent done what they need to in order to protect the people of basra and ensure that there is adequate Water Quality and quantity iraqs Health Minister says the government understands the severity and urgency of the crisis. We have a comprehensive review of the environmental. Challenges and in the relation to the Drinking Water we are now for the 1st time in over the last 5 to 6 months we are producing regular bulletin on the standards of water it will take more than monitoring to solve the crises in addition to government mismanagement and neglect Climate Change and dams in neighboring turkey and iran are also taking a toll on Water Resources and theres a constant fear that another outbreak of disease might happen at any time job a down to 0 bus or. Well back to the philippines were present rigor detected a state of the nation address thats happening is amidst calls for his resignation we can cross over of course to the house of representatives there where the ongoing speech is in progress he has been really talking about his war on drugs and corruption in a major part of that presentation were continuing to monitor what the president has to say so we can join Richard Darrien who was a professor of Political Science of Political Science out to disarm university in manila good to have you with us on the program it seems that the speech no matter what the president is or is not going to say is drawing anger from those who vehemently disagree with his policies ever since hes become president. Well ironically in fact the president started the speech by saying that as for a cease Approval Ratings are concerned there are only 3 percent of filipinos while posing in fact hes the most popular filipino president ever and hes Approval Ratings actually jumped up in recent months and in the last me term elections hes completely dominated the race and the opposition is extremely isolated so you have a number of filipinos who are vehemently opposed to the president but the vast majority of the philippine us at least this is what the survey suggests are still satisfied with him and have a lot of trust in him that is why do speech i think has been so far his most disciplined and focused speech and in this speech he has been emphasizing that in the remaining years of his office hes going to cement his legacy and suppose that legacy is this war on drugs that he is adamant that hes going to souls for the philippines of course and i was that when he was elected several years back and of course he made such a big point about cleaning up the philippines and making it a country that was safe and secure will to live in those other well 2 things 1st of all the president started his speech by the interesting he said that the crisis in marley were the icy elements lets say. 2 years ago because of narco politics so he tried to connect the problem of terrorism with the problems drugs and to say that you need. Single minded leader like me to deal with it and its going to have to keep in mind is that it seems the president s Approval Ratings are almost all results neutral meaning what people appreciate here is he is willing us to deal with that issue i think is what the philosopher us would call a call to action and a cult of action is still very much holding sway among majority of filipina so surveys are very clear that you know a lot of people have issues with these methods some problems with extrajudicial killings one the drug suspect alive and yet drug more humane some very popular among majority of the filipinas plant. But were looking at action and willingness indeed i mean you just touched on there the conflict just to bring our viewers up to speed of course that was a military incursion into the city to fight terrorists as they were being described by really filipino or storage fees yet people there are still waiting to be compensated for the damage to their properties theyre still waiting to be really had billets hated i mean not everybody in mirali for example is happy with the way things have gone regardless of the fact that there has been some semblance of carmen peace since that military assault. Yeah i was in malawi just 2 weeks ago and did a report there and i talked to people on the ground whether Civil Society leaders commanders on the ground and the refugees people are internally displaced still and the thing is on one hand security has tremendously improved their very few checkpoints 3rd theres a lot of confidence that and not their kind of isis proliferation will no longer happen in that area and the last elections in the term elections there was very minimal violence so it seems on the security front things are moving forward but in terms of rehabilitation and relegation and the return of the internally displaced in their homes it has been very slow and theres a feeling that Transitional Justice is not there and that inclusion of the communities in the process of reconstruction and a blueprint for reconstruction is not there and yet you know whats interesting things that i did have to do even when they complained they said well present a theory that cares for us hes one of us hes from we need them now and we still trust him to fix the problem in his remaining European Office because we cannot trust the other politicians from the rest of the philippines or not from him to know well fix it so theres still that kind of inelastic support for the president almost regardless of the developments on the ground even in places like malawi where you expect a lot of the scandal meant and frustration with the pace of reconstruction not to mention why on earth were a bunch of rock that isis elements able to hold the whole city for 5 months under siege and why such level of destruction if you go to ground 0 its completely decimated and not Much Development has occurred since the past 2 years and yet people still support the president indeed we should watch what else he has to say through the day for the moment to richard had a re on thanks so much for joining us from manila thank you buzzer. Lets go back to one of our top stories of course is palestinian homes being demolished in the occupied west bank thats despite warnings from the u. N. And the. Is the senior Legal Adviser a palestinian human rights n. G. O. S and joins me now from ramallah good to have you with us on the program how much of a game changer has it been that the israeli courts now seem not to support the idea of occupied land especially when that issue is in the control of the Palestinian Authority. Yes israel since the outset of the occupation has always maintained policies of destruction of fathers to. Property and homes throughout the occupied by just an interest area and on both sides of the green light and green light however we are talking insular about her about a very dangerous and alarming precedent in the sense that were talking about destruction of palestinian Properties Located in areas 8 and be where you have palestinian jurisdiction as per the us for our courts and on the under the legal quote unquote just to be geisha that it sets a security violation because of the proximity of the close proximity of the structures to the annexation wall which in and by itself is a flag violation of International Law as per the International Courts of justice advisory opinion in 2004 and here we are talking about a multilayered situation of mass Human Rights Violations as are under International Law starting from the destruction of property which is unjustified by military necessity or just russia thats lively and i think its just going to have to because were going to have an extension while in itself and then violating palestinian sovereignty and the absolute right to selfdetermination and if were talking of if this goes on in sort of back here it will go on in many places where the annexation wall runs deep inside occupied palestinian territory up to 85 percent indeed and we can talk about those double issues that we can talk about the International Condemnation but at the end of the day these particular palestinians of course have their homes gone their communities decimated they have. It seems no Legal Recourse anymore so as many as you can one comes. See as many International Laws laid down either by the un but where do they go now for help who actually fights for their end when they have no recourse on the ground where they are the reality that they are living. Yes the case of sorbet head represents the physical translation of the culture of impunity that prevails i mean states who fail to respect their obligations as set forth under International Law. Which basically. Especially and they are the 1st in your Convention Must consider how they can take practical steps to prevent this from happening on a much larger scale with this dangerous precedent and they must also ask themselves how they can activate their political wills in favor of. A Counter Culture of the one that prevails of impunity a culture that respects the rule of law and International Law on the one hand on the other hand the unjustified delay from the International Courts of justice process prosecutor in opening the investigation and the case of polish that is interpreted as a green light for the Israeli Government to carry on with these very grave violations and i batess. We also called on businesses to fulfill their Due Diligence and stop contributing in these very serious violations of International Law i mean this is this is not only the Israeli Government this is also the judiciary body in israel confirming this and greenlighting this over and over again this is a sense of partnership between the Israeli Government and the army in the case of the judiciary and the army in the case of sort of ahead the Israeli High Court literally abided by all the demands of the israeli army and its granted the militia that its called for them we would have to leave it im afraid but i think weve got a general just to see where we stand legally the International Law for the moment thanks very much for joining us from ramallah. Now pakistans Prime Minister is in washington to meet donald trump for the very 1st time imran khan seeking improved relations at the u. S. President cut off military aid trying to accuse the pakistanis of not doing enough to confront the taliban and other armed groups as my kind of reports. This is a crucible in which the relationship was forged pakistan a vital ally in the u. S. Campaign against the soviet invaders in afghanistan a partner in a war that eventually led to the collapse of the soviet union. Decades later though a defining moment president barack obama ordered a special forces operation in which bin laden was killed an action that took place without the knowledge of the Pakistan Government so help me god but in the eyes of obamas successor donald trump it was another example of pakistans inability or reluctance to crack down on terror groups in 2018 in his 1st tweet of the new year the president went after islamabad the United States is brutally given pakistan more than 33000000000. 00 in aid over the last 15 years they have given us nothing but lies and deceit. Into them but the same year another attack we no longer pay pakistan the billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us President Trump tweeted but large and being a prime example afghanistan being another. Trumps combination provoked pakistans newly elected Prime Minister imran khan to respond with similar venom in a series of tweets he said his country had lost 75000. 00 people and more than 123000000000. 00 fighting what he called the u. S. War on terror can mr trump name another ally that gave such sacrifices he asked him and seeking to reduce its involvement in afghanistan the u. S. Had no option but to once again seek pakistans assistance last year pakistani diplomats agreed to set up direct talks between the taliban and the u. S. A move gratefully acknowledged by one of President Trumps most valuable Foreign Policy advisers and im going to urge him to meet with the Prime Minister as soon as practical i think they will hit it off similar personalities in recent days pakistan authorities have finally arrested one of the us his most wanted men of his saeed was accused of masterminding the 2008 terrorist attacks in mumbai since then living openly in pakistan despite a u. S. Bunty on his head theorist intended to set a cordial term for the contra meeting and it was warmly welcomed by the president imran khans meeting with the president does not come without Political Risk his party has the narrowest of majorities in Pakistans Parliament and does not control the senate a resumption of u. S. Assistance would help shore up his government but to come away empty handed would have the opposite effect mike hanna aljazeera washington. Picks. Welcome back get some sport on his joe and said we dont have the irish at the open you can say that yes the hill irish go has shane larry says he was played with south doubt for most of his final round before going on to win the open championship by 6 stripes lowry overcame nerves in stormy conditions that will put russia fell a childhood dream. Reports. With one hand already on the famed carrot jug shane lowry may let me start was final round dropping a shot straight away but there was to be no repeat of the choke at the 26th in u. S. Open we lit the final round by 4 shots only to finish 2nd birdies on 45. 00 and 7. 00 giving the irishman breathing room. Tommy fleetwood was the only player who could realistically challenge the 32 year old and as his tee shots repeatedly went away would the feeling in the Gallery Group that there would be an irish champion lowry had 5 bogeys as the way the worsened as he went down the 18th fairway who knew the time was has. He finished with a one over power round of 72 making him 15 under for the tournament 6 shots player. Welcome to my moment. The it. Im so happy that.

The Pakistan Government has pledged tens of millions of dollars to help promote tourism in the Northern Areas of the country for years the security situation the region made it a no go area for tourists but thats changing thanks to the sport of polo. Explains. Welcome to the door past the socalled roof of the world home to some spectacular views on the world famous poly festival that is central to the pakistans governments plan to attract tourists back to the area. This polo match has been played here since 1036 formally there are 2 places and believe there are traditional rivals its almost like the cricket match of pakistan and india and while polo is known as the sport of kings this version of the game is freestyle mountain pole are no umpires the rules and played on the hardest pollo ground in the world at 3700. 00 metres above sea level but. Its very difficult to play at such High Altitude and not only me but also for horses but our love for polo sports makes a stronger to withhold such kind of pressure. In recent years seems like this made tourist reluctant to visit the chandeleur Valley Police seemingly ill equipped to deal with the security situation however the historical feud between the northern tribes of gill get and to throw out is not going far into the polish sales whats more of a
