Selfish after one of the most violent days and months of antigovernment demonstrations. And bushfires reach australias biggest city as emergency workers warned theyve already exceeded catastrophic for cuts. Israels military says its killed a commander of the armed Group Islamic jihad in an airstrike gazas Health Minister says a man and a woman died in the attack israel accuses the iranian backed Palestinian Group of carrying out rocket attacks inside israel lets get more now from our aforesaid hes in west jerusalem how is somewhat more than do we know about these israeli airstrikes and the targets they hit. Well yes the main strike was the one that killed but. He is he was a senior figure in palestinian Islamic Jihad he was in charge century of the military operations in the more than half of the gaza strip he was on and lead the Main Military Council of the military wing of Islamic Jihad israel says that they targeted that building he was sleeping in and killed him in a strike that took place about 4 30 in the morning local time thats about 2 and a half hours ago now and that they hold him responsible for a spate of rocket attacks that have been taking place from gaza into israeli territory over the course of the last year not just a few days ago israel made a statement saying that it assessed that Islamic Jihad 4 and that 4 were not interested in an escalation at the current time but they were blaming certain extreme elements within islam make jihad it seems seems pretty clear now that they were trying to target this one individual as a way to try to stem those rocket attacks the Israeli Prime Ministers Office and Israeli Military over the statements blaming him for that these attacks confirming that he has been killed saying that this was an operation that was recommended by the military and by the Security Agency and was approved by the Prime Minister however it is an extremely risky tactic to use israel has not used extensively the tactic of targeted assassinations of senior figures within either hamas or Islamic Jihad but some time a saying this is not a return to that tactic however the general command room of all the Palestinian Armed factions inside gaza has come to come out with a unified response saying that they will respond in kind to what has happened and already weve seen several directions of rockets coming out from gaza into israel so if they were trying to separate out Islamic Jihad from hamas or this one individual from the armed factions within gaza well the response is so far pretty hefty one from the armed factions and harry always comes at a price sensitive time politically for israels Prime Minister. It does its after the 2nd inconclusive election within a few months of each other so this remains a Caretaker Administration it is also the time when the Prime Minister is awaiting a verdict from the attorney general as to whether he will indeed be charged in 3 separate Corruption Cases which could make his attempts to try to form a government here in israel all the more difficult and it comes at a time when hes just appointed a new defense minister he had himself held the title defense minister along with other portfolios as well as Prime Minister it is today that Naftali Bennett who is seen as a certainly has been calling for a much harder line response towards gaza takes office so its almost with his last act as defense minister that the Prime Minister has approved this this pretty risky operation quite a hurry force that there live in west jerusalem harry thank you and in another breaking news story in the middle east syrian state media reporting that an attack has happened near the Lebanese Embassy in damascus lets get more now from Stephanie Decker she joins us on the phone from the lebanese capital beirut stephanie so what more details are emerging about this expos near the Lebanese Embassy in the syrian capital. Yeah were getting more information now this happened in a residential building opposite the Lebanese Embassy. Its a as i mentioned a residential building its an area known to how a palestinian leaders as well were now getting unconfirmed reports that potentially a political leader of the piracy and Islamic Jihad was living in that area to the policies that make jihad has issued a statement that the son of. 9 the who is this political leader has been killed it is not clear 6 whether these 2 are related to Syrian State News Agency is saying that theres been 2 killed in that building but certainly the reports coming out at the moment seem to indicate that this could potentially have been targeted killing 9 the political membership of palestinian Islamic Jihad do of course have a presence 9 inside syria so people were questioning as to the timing of these 22 attacks one in gaza one in damascus. I think if you should tell exact confirmation as to whether theyre linked but certainly did issue reports are getting seems to be that this explosion happened in a residential building that was housing the palestinian Islamic Jihad leader political wing and again to residents in the area said it was a very loud explosion that was information coming out at the moment but certainly these are now bit of a clearer picture that seems to indicate a potential targeting of a political leader of palestinian Islamic Jihad in damascus or i just i think back about in the lebanese capital stephanie thank you.

Under thomas has more now from. Authorities in australia are well used to these bushfires and they have a 6 point scale of which catastrophic is the very highest warning level that they can issue and its based largely on weather conditions on tuesday is expected to be very very hot high thirtys right across New South Wales and parts of queensland as well the winds are likely to be very very strong already theyre picking up but theyre gusting later on today as predicted at 80 even 90 kilometers an hour and there is a lot of very dry fuel for the fires to burn there means trees that means shrubs that havent had water for months and months theres been a serious drought right across southeastern australia in recent months and years all these things combined mean conditions are as bad as they can get on the one hand its about fires that are already burning and there are more than 50 across New South Wales alone and an increasing number of those already on tuesday are going out of control the authorities have not managed to contain them and they are beginning to impact on peoples homes and playful places of work and thats one concern the other concern is that new fires start in the winds for example power lines can fall over sparking new fires and once a fire starts in these winds and in this heat its very very hard to put them out the big concern is around the suburbs of sydney sydney a very highly populated city but its largely been carved out of the bush as its called in australia and the concern is when fire meets people thats when you lose lives so well thirtys are doing all they can to issue warnings to get people to think about what theyre going to do the head of time to evacuate early and to be extremely conscious of even the smallest box and to put those out fast because once fires are burning in these conditions its almost impossible to put them out.

Protests have once again broken out in chile with riot Police Firing tear gas and water cannon the demonstrators in santiago that comes despite president Sebastian Pinera his plans to rewrite the constitution a central demand of protesters. Well the current charter dates back to the era which many say excludes protections for essential rights in areas move was aimed at appeasing demonstrated so been protesting against income inequality for more than 3 weeks in america and its of the reports from santiago. The unmistakable sight and sound of the quick chiles national dance. In the same plaza where some travelers largest protests are taking place these people came to remind chileans that there are things that unite them all they feel like this is a decisive time its making us reflect on what we are and what we want to become we need to feel empowered and also take responsibility for the solutions to these. One of them is a new constitution in nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests its widely being seen as indispensable to pave the way for structural changes to chiles free market system. The current constitution was imposed in 1900 under the pinochet dictatorship and. The model of the 1980 constitution hands Education Health Social Security and Labor Relations over to the private sector the state plays a minimal role so people are feeling abused by a constitution that instead of benefiting the collective needs tends to concentrate resources in a few hands without providing the necessary services. But other experts argue that the current constitution is not to blame rather the laws and Public Policies that have failed to meet peoples needs. Im not saying theres a new constitution cant improve the magna carta but i fear that will be a huge question between peoples expectations and the reality of what the constitution came and cant do. After nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests its widely being seen as a necessary step to pave the way for structural. Changes to chiles free market system. For many thats no longer enough former president ial candidate alexandra de year says premier that must call for early general elections but fortunately can tackle a new national charter. Discredited but we need to legitimize social changes by turning to our citizens they inevitably an unnecessarily must be consulted actively and that starts by letting them choose who will represent them. The undemocratic origin of chiles current magna carta is a disputable like e. U. One will not rectify all the countrys wrongs but it may be a good way to start over to boost the tarnish legitimacy of the countrys democracy you see in human aljazeera santiago.

A dutch court has ordered the netherlands to repatriate more than 50 children a woman who joined i saw in syria 23 women had asked the court to allow their families to return home from the whole camp in Northern Syria but as lois lane reports now from the hague the judge ruled the mothers need not be sent back. Figuring out what to do with women and Children Associated with the enemy isnt a new problem for a country but when you bring i sill into the equation it becomes hugely controversial. At issue in the netherlands what to do about 23. 00 dutch women and their 56. 00 children under the age of 12 many born in the vast desperate el whole camp in Northern Syria their families have demanded they be brought home the government had said no thanks excel than i was even a kindler and for ordering in his ruling the judge demanded that the dutch state had a juicy to show it was trying to repatriate the children and their mothers to if the kurdish come command has said so and all within 14 days so if the kurdish resort authorities saying were only willing to give back the children if the dutch authorities also take back the women then thats the way it has to be and that has been the kurdish position until now they wont give any children unless the mothers are also brought back among the women there is child who was a little girl was innocent looking as anyone but a family say she suffered Mental Health issues growing up was targeted by eisel supporters in the netherlands and persuaded to go to syria to be a bride so a fighter and this is chatty and now she lost a foot in the explosion but she doesnt have children and so shes stuck her family a devastated we had her passport when we saw that she was running for 2nd travel to syria for the possible to wait for yes of course every family did that dutch government dont get their responsibility again they said yes there are dare its not our problems and its very hard to to hear that so what might the dutch government do now putting the onus on the dutch authorities to go into Northern Syria to get these women and children out is one thing whether the dutch are actually prepared to do it themselves is Something Else again because theyve always said its too dangerous but the americans have in some a sense of that theyre prepared to go into al hole to before the task for them very likely then that the dutch will be trying to outsource their own problem. The big problem in any number of European Countries is Public Opinion which overwhelmingly insists anyone who went to syria within the last 5 years you know exactly what they were doing and should lose their rights assuming they are brought home the next question will be what to do with them lawrence lee aljazeera the hague. Chief executives says he was wrong describe the murder of Jamal Khashoggi as a mistake daryn i made the comments during a recent interview in which he compared the journalists murdered by Saudi Arabian agents last year to a fake talent he caused by one of the driving cars a c.

Stargazers around the world that witnessed a rare show as mercury apos directly between the earth and the sun the smallest planets in our solar system could be seen as a tiny black discus have traveled across the Sun John Hendren aborts from chicago. Around the globe in fair weather and foul astronomers turned their telescopes to the sun was this little dot right here on monday the sun shone a little less brightly as mercury transited across it leaving a freckle of darkness on the message star for a small planet thats a pretty big deal transit or mercury is cool because it just doesnt happen all that often. A transit occurs when a planet like mercury or venus process face of the sun as seen from earth. Every century it only occurs for mercury 13 times there are only 2 planets between the earth and sun the last time mercury was visible crossing the solar face was in 2016 the next in 2032 transits a venus or even rarer if you missed it in 2012 and want to see it live healthfully it wont happen again till 2117 for centuries when mercury transit of the sun nobody noticed because its so small by comparison to give you an idea how small if this is the size of mercury that is the size of the sun. By watching the way planets cross the sun in our solar system scientists are able to identify new planets or exile planets in others more than 4000 exoplanets have been discovered since 1992 universes billions of years own this like human life is only so short and theres only so many things we can see in our share a lot of time so for me its like being able to see as much as bad our universe as possible and learning more about the universe by watching a pinprick of darkness crawl across the sun helps those of us here on earth understand a little better how we fit into it john hendren aljazeera chicago.
