A halt. And sport chinas National Football team looks abroad for how we look at how the country plans to naturalize more foreign players as theyve been qualified for and even house to the world cup. Lets get going at least 4 people have been killed and at least 20 were injured in israeli airstrikes on gaza funerals have been held for a Palestinian Islamic jihad commander and his wife who died in a targeted israeli airstrike on their home in gaza overnight israeli airstrikes have also hit apartment buildings at a hamas facility in gaza and israeli warplanes to fire missiles towards the syrian capital damascus targeting another commander of Islamic Jihad its unclear what happened to him but his son and granddaughter work killed faces in gaza retaliated today firing more than 50 rockets into israel one exploded on. Busy highway narrowly missing cars and buses were right across all the developments in this evolving story in a moment well talk live to rob matheson in west jerusalem and harry forsett whos on the israel gaza border but 1st mohamed vall wraps up the days developments so far. Above israeli cities has turned into a fiery battle scene with attempts to intercept palestinian rockets and damage on the ground can be seen there is a state of eilat some schools have been closed and Transportation Services disrupted as Islamic Jihad fighters fired rockets in retaliation for the assassination of one of their Senior Leaders in gaza. On monday and israeli fighter jets targeted senior Islamic Jihad leader. At his home he was killed along with his wife some of his children were also injured the part of the building where he was lodging has been entirely destroyed extensive damage was also caused in the immediate area his line of jihad followed a quick and unlimited event said that have in the end only heavy of price. And his settlers and soldiers will pay a heavy price. For the car. Of a certain age thing and destroy the whole of folly that behold ill find his wife and i certainly think ill judy and his family at the same time and after the firing of the 1st rockets from gaza the Israeli Military shut all the border crossings into gaza and sirens were heard in several towns in Central Israel israel says when i was the mastermind of recent attacks against its territory and look is going to i want to clarify israel is not interested in a school ation but we will do everything necessary to defend ourselves and im saying in advance it could take time it takes calm and cool hiddenness we must allow the army to do its work. Also on monday 2 israeli jets launched raids on the sea. In capital damascus the target was another jihad member identified as a company is unique he survived that israel did not comment Palestinian Islamic jihad is the 2nd Largest Armed group in gaza it alleged that he has strong ties with iran and a hardline stance against israel the newest collation threatens to upset a fragile truce between hamas and israel are does either. Ok harry force it is our correspondent joining us live here on news from the israel gaza border how he is that border now sealed in effect. It is in fact we are were a few kilometers away from it the the road access to the very border area itself has been blocked off by by Police Vehicles just a short distance from where we are now so you can see gaza in the distance the silhouette behind us but but yes a lot of this is now a closed area because of what we saw earlier this morning on tuesday in response to this israeli strike israel is saying that this was a moment of opportunity that it was a after a lot of warnings that they say they gave to Islamic Jihad saying that they knew what this man was planning what his activities were the Israeli Military saying that those warnings were not heeded and therefore they made the most of this window of opportunity to strike and kill him along with his wife and as we heard just then injuring some of his children as well there have been other strikes from the israelis during the course of the day as these rockets have been launched out of gaza so other fighters have been killed in those strikes as well so it remains a pretty delicately poised at the moment there seems to be something of a lot although there are sirens in and around the the border area to gaza every few minutes or so but not the same kind of pace of activity that we saw this morning however Islamic Jihad is promising a wider envelope of retaliation than weve seen in recent such escalations in recent months hamas is also at least publicly saying that it stands as twins in terms of its relationship with Islamic Jihad and it will be involved in this retaliation as well the big question i think is to exactly what extent how much how mass will join in with this and in that case. What kind of response you might see from the israelis have you got the sense where you are harry since this happened overnight and that Islamic Jihad commander lost his life this is the Israeli Security forces tilting towards using targeted strikes as a tactic again because they used to do it and then they stop doing it. Thats right i mean they stop doing it in the sense that it used to take place in terms of very very senior people being targeted and the the risks of a major escalation that that brings with it this time around they say no the Israeli Military has specifically said categorically said that it is not returning to the general policy of targeted assassinations however obviously thats exactly what they did last night but they say that this was in there an effort to try to stem a very present and immediate threat from this one individual at the same time though cant ignore the fact that a crumb of luxury was also targeted in damascus overnight in syria the israelis arent saying anything about that but he is seen as the 2nd most important figure inside Palestinian Islamic jihad that the boss essentially of the man who was killed inside gaza so obviously it is a very specific operation against the organization of the individuals that israel sees as behind the recent spate of rocket attacks larry thanks very much math and joins us live from west jerusalem whats the political backstory to this. Well peter were just actually had a response from the Palestine Liberation Organization i want to give you this is from one of their Senior Leaders han and whos referring to what harry was talking about in terms of the the targeted killings hes saying that israels return to the eally illegal policy as she puts it of assassination is both reckless and criminal were going to say obviously statements about that coming out in the next few days but all of this is coming at a very sensitive time in israeli politics Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has been struggling and failing to form some sort of Coalition Government after elections earlier on this year now that task has then been have passed on to his rival benny gantz of the blue and white party and he too is facing the same problems in trying to form some sort of coalition against said this morning that the events in gaza were not going to have an impact on his efforts to try to put together some sort of coalition that might form an Israeli Government but were beginning to see the military aspect of whats been happening in gaza spill over into israeli politics now the leader of the socalled joint List Alliance which is predominantly made up of arab parties has said this morning that has criticized Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu for altering the killing of this Islamic Jihad leader for what he said was political gains suggesting that Benjamin Netanyahu is political situation in israel and israel was so tenuous that it had motivated this killing the speaker of the knesset the Israeli Parliament the Israeli Parliament has also criticized members of the joint List Alliance because as he said it would be as he quoted irresponsible to form a coalition with the joint list because they didnt support the Israeli Military in this action in gaza this morning that israel does have a kind of caretaker government under Prime Minister benjamin and thats an. But its pretty obvious that the responses that are given politically to whats been happening in gaza of this morning are going to be watched very closely and may well play a role in the formation of any future Israeli Government rob well leave it there thanks very much.

Jack a jag and call a spade a spade while there are still peaceful demonstrators in hong kong we should not deny that there are criminals and holy goes and there are people who commit violence and he knows crime setting people on fire and setting up all kinds of asses now this is very very dangerous and i think the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Police force are urged to do whatever they care within the law to restore law and order to Hong Kong Police.

Europes top court has today ruled that Food Products made in illegal israeli settlements must be identified with special labeling the decision by the European Court of justice relates to products in the occupied west Bank East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights the Palestine Liberation Organization secretary general called the ruling cause a legal and political obligation julian is interim managing director of the think tank vocal europe he joins us on skype from amsterdam to the hotel good to talk to you again this feels like something of a 1st it feels like the e. U. Using economic power is that a fair breakdown of whats going on here. Yes i mean we have this concept of europe as an economic power that doesnt have the political ability to influence other countries however thats not necessarily the case as using this kind of ruling and having an effect on states like israel. Human rights terms or busy in terms of improvements in the way organizations behave is quite. Ok human rights terms if i was an israeli ambassador to the e. U. I might react in a way that would make you feel that that was falling on deaf ears. I mean weve seen that and the reaction is that this ruling quite a bit i mean some people have likened this to anti semitism some people have likened this to pinning a gold star on the chest of the tourist businesses ive seen. Recently however there isnt obligation almost for european citizens to be allowed to make the citizens on what produce they buy and where from for example just like with ecological matters you dont necessarily want to buy produce from countries that are infringing on the human rights lot of countries as many People Killed that the state of israel is in palestine is it anti semitic or could it be seen as being antisemitic. I think that in these cases should at least see in or be perceived as an i think this may be a d Political Tool or i mean being with ascendance of a resistance fight i dont see anything at this and i think in this at all this is purely d legal issue thats arise from a complaint by one Jewish Business that escalated and came something theres not however going to be played up as this i even see a lot being from foreign actors such as. U. S. Senators u. S. Representatives pushing for you not to follow this route and in a way trying to push you away from influencing israeli businesses in this way i dont really remember that 700000 israelis its businesses operate in the region should the e. U. Though be at the vanguard of in effect forcing people to take a moral stance on where the produce comes from that they want to purchase. This isnt the e. U. Forcing a moral stance on anybody this is the e. U. Providing the geographical indicators as its prefers to have itself from such irish. E. U. Has always pushed to have produce indicated geographically east it could make their choices and i dont think this is that it is. Ok but you see its not any different i remember mid to late eightys in effect the Younger Generation i was the Younger Generation then we boycotted fruit we literally did not buy oranges because they came from a party at south africa and we were we were informed of that because it was labeled is that a good thing to label it or a bad thing to label it. I think it can only be a good thing. We need to give people the choice to do these things for example the states didnt necessarily force you to take that moral stand when the camps are just in south africa but force from your own moral imperative almost some from the more imperative on your colleagues and your friends on what you believe the time and i think its no difference now people need to be given the chance to make these decisions people need to be. Deduced eggs and i think this only helps our situations what if you want to support us the new businesses for example you may choose products come from palestine to prove thats economy this is the same thing as when it comes to french produce if i want a favor french produce ive got the choice and i can select those japanese produce the same thing its purely about Consumer Choice in my opinion but it does have human rights and political ramifications of course you know its in amsterdam thank you very much. Fire chiefs in australia say the bushfires sweeping parts of the country are at a catastrophic level now strong winds and High Temperatures are making the flames worse close to sydney dozens of fires a blazing in the state of New South Wales and queensland and forecasters say weather conditions this week could make the situation even worse under these sorts of conditions there is a significant amount of unpredictability instability and aggressive far behavior and fast bred you we know that under under dies of catastrophic if a far starts and takes hold if we are not there so quickly that we can bring it under control if it takes hold we are not going to stop it we are not going to control farmers on a kind of conditions i have the ability to develop and grow extremely quickly and thomas is at one of those fires on the outskirts of sydney they spot fire to looking for any remaining flames because if that ive put out all of them it wouldnt take much for a gust of wind to spread this far and it reignites and were not in the middle of the countryside here this is 18 kilometers away from sydneys harbor bridge very much within the city limits and its that extensive the plains near well lots and lots of people live that make this far emergency in australia very different to others that have come before the authorities have cooled conditions on tuesday can to stop it and what that relates to is the High Temperature combined with high wind combined with a very high what they call fuel load very dry shrubs and trees with a drought in this part of australia and it means that theres no more wish to anything so when planes take hold they travel very very fast at times to be more than 70 set by its burning across the state of New South Wales alone on tuesday well this fire was right opposite sean murphy and sean you were here when its so cold it all happened very very fast and you tell me about that in about 5 minutes there were sirens.

How to aljazeera monopoles National Park zimbabwe. The u. K. s labor party says its been targeted by a cyber attack just weeks before the general election december the 12th the Opposition Party website was hit by a short lived attack designed to overwhelm the domain and take it offline the Labor Party Leader jeremy cotton said today it was a quote very serious attack but no information was stolen paul brennan as our correspondent covering coming up for us in london so whats the latest on the details of what they try to achieve here paul. Well labor staffers started reporting that the Computer Systems were operating very slowly on choose the afternoon and that problem persisted through tuesday evening and overnight and whats now been established is that the labor party Computer System thats not just the website but also the internal Party Systems for campaigning have been targeted by the dos attack a distributed denial of Service Attack as you say essentially thats a bot or bots poor role which bombard the website or the Computer System with information and with web requests such as the system itself then slows to a crawl or perhaps even freezes altogether its not an attempt to hack into the system simply to prevent the system working a smoothly as it should now let gemma covens been out on the campaign trail up in Northern England today and he mentioned it as part of his speech and he said this follows if this is a sign of things to come in this election i feel very nervous about its because a cyber attack against a Political Party in an election is suspicious something one is very worried about that said the National CyberSecurity Center that ive spoken to the small and categorize this is a rather low level attack certainly not evidence of state sponsored activity but the very act the very fact that the Political Party has been targeted in this way at this time is cause for concern and staying in this general area Paul Hillary Clinton criticizing the governing conservative party for not releasing a report into alleged election meddling taken pushed through by the russians.

Chinas president has hailed his countrys deepening economic ties with the e. U.

Protests have again broken out in chile with riot Police Firing tear gas and water cannon and demonstrations in the capital santiago it comes after the president Sebastian Pinera offer to rewrite the constitution which dates back to the era of. One story written the document would be then put to a public referendum latin america editor lucien human is there in santiago. Mistake of the sight and sound of the quick Chinese 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 our demand the. 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 HealthSocial 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. But for many thats no longer enough former president ial candidate alexandra de year says ping it out must call for early general elections before chile can tackle a new national charter. So discredited that we need to legitimize social changes by turning to our citizens they inevitably and unnecessarily must be consulted actively and that starts by letting them choose who will represent them. The undemocratic origin of chiles current to magna carta is indisputable likely a new one will not rectify all the countrys wrongs but it may be a good way to start over to boost the tarnished legitimacy of the countrys democracy you see in human aljazeera santiago.

Huge i mean hes an institution some people would call him an icon i wouldnt go that far cherry was a middling hockey player as a coach he had some success in the 1970 s. He never won at all and then in the 1980 s. He transitioned into television and have been doing that show for 39 years now the program his his his shtick on Coaches Corner was on hockey night in canada that is a Canadian Institution its the saturday night broadcast of canadian hockey fans have always watched and you know the thing about cherry is he came in and it was car crash t. V. He would always say outrageous things about the sport but as the years passed he would say more and more outrageous things about culture so when there was an influx of foreign players into the National Hockey league in the 1980 s. Cherry showed some zina phobic tendencies towards the russians the swedes the czechs and slovaks who were coming to play our game and actually making it better because they were highly skilled he also has in a phobia also extended to french canada hes from english canada and the last olympics the flag bearer at the games was somebody he described as some french guy who is this guy well that that guy happened to be a Gold Medalist in mobile skiing in the previous games and cherry also had outdated views on things that were occurring within the game fighting was is being basically weaned out of hockey and a lot of people oppose it and its not just the cherry was in favor of hockey its the way he reacted to people whose views opposed his own so people used to make a living fighting in hockey guys who have suffered concussions posttraumatic stress serious brain injuries and they were saying that the time has come to end this tradition and this culture and cherry said there turncoats theyre hypocrites. But he did have a lot of fans how with that decision to sack him going down with canadians. A little bit of it has been predictable a lot of people are saying that this is Political Correctness run amok other people are saying whatever happened to freedom of expression in canada but those arguments are being knocked down on live you know freedom of expression is something that isnt forced by governments its in force by police if they arrest somebody if theres no freedom of expression in a particular country thats not what happened here in fact one could argue that the decision to wear a poppy on Remembrance Day or veterans day or whatever you want to call it that is a form of expression and by insisting that these immigrant canadians wear these poppies don cherry is effectively denying them freedom of expression whats interesting about this is some people say he crossed the line one writer i thought put it very well today for what he said whats happened is that the line is moved beneath him hes the candidate has changed don cherry has not and now hes out of a job ok richard great to get your thoughts thanks so much for that.
