Electionrelated violence. Hamas is calling for the release of dozens of its members and supporters detained overnight on thursday saying more than 100 people were picked up in raids on the west bank by forces. Ata spokesmen said hamas members planned to create chaos. Hamas said the raids are politically motivated. There was a Large Campaign carried out in the palestinian authority, of members and supporters. They arrested hundreds of people the majority academics people they are part of the security coordination between israel and the palestinian authority. Crossing over to gaza and bringing in imtiaz tyab to tell us what this means for a strained relationship between hamas and others. Very strained and this will not do anything to improve the ties. We were at a press conference a small demonstration held by hamas officials, where they reiterated their call for all of these people that have been arrested to be released. In fact we spoke to a senior hamas official who said to us that they believe the reason behind the arrest has more to do with fatah and, indeed the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas trying to curry favour with israel than anything else. Whatever the case at this statement, all we know from the palestinian authorities is that they made these arrests and well use the quote. Because the people were accused of sewing discontent in the west bank. The rafts of well over 100 people follow the announcement from israel that in the past few weeks it arrested around 40 people for what they accused of being a terrorist cell. As we have been saying it all underscores a tense relationship between hamas and the west bank and the palestinian leadership in the west bank and theres a time when a crisis is brewing. What can hamas do . Frankly, at this stage very little. All they can do is pressure Mahmoud Abbas to release these people and more than anything give an agreeder explanation as to why so many have been arrested. These arrests, taking pleas over the last 2848 hours, is the largest crack down on hamas supporters in the west bank. 2007 was a year of Bitter Division between hamas and the palestinian leadership. That was the year that hamas creased control and for years there was little communication between palestinian factions. 12 months ago they agreed a reconciliation. A government made of technocrats, and the government effectively was on the verge of collapse, and there has been a collapse between hamas and the west bank. Trying to afford a new government moving forward. Fighting in Eastern Libya as more than 25 people, and 35 were injured as the libyan army battled fighters from the different areas of the city of the five fighters were killed and seven injured. Three civilians were reported to have been killed. Afghanistans parliament rejected one of Ashraf Ghanis key nominations for government. A lack of consensus has left a key number of key cabinet posts vacant. Crossing to Jennifer Glasse joining us from kabul to tell us about the latest going on in parramatta. Jennifer. Thats right, it wasnt close in parliament this morning. The defence minister standing got 84 votes, he needed 107. He is the second defence minister to be rejected by parliament. Joining me here to talk about this is a political analyst. Thank you for being here on al jazeera. Hameed, what does the rejection mean for president Ashraf Ghanis government. Its a critical time for the deposit of ashraf ghani. The parliament is divided. They have the unity government it is not solid enough to introduce, and theyll have the parliament to basically vote giving them a vote of confidence. It means that the government the lack of leadership by the minister of defence will be a recipe for certain part of the country to become more destabilized and we will see and certain parts of the country will see that they will increase their tax on a number of axe and a and p. That will mean that National Unity government has to accelerate their effort introduce is new defense minnisha and have the leadership in place and the minister of defense to make sure all the planning all the logistical efforts that is required or ana, work effectively to bring back stability to this country, and those areas that are vulnerable. Will they be able to do that. They had two rejected. The country has been without a defence minister for nine months, how critical is the position . Its critical. The fighting season is on. For a lot of people its a make it or break it season for the Afghan Government or forces. The moral is high among the National Forces but lack of leadership has a huge impact. We hope the unity government will come up with an alternative and introduce a new nominee, and i hope it happens soon. There has to be the c. E. O. And the president has to make sure that they came up with a new nominee and make sure. It is very critical. So the defence minister rejected by the parliament today, and patient tomorrow. We are expecting two Supreme Court nominees to be confirmed, to go through the process. Including the first woman to be nominated to the afghan Supreme Court, but a difficult time in an afghan parliament. Thank you for the time being from kabul, Jennifer Glasse. The United Nations says children have been killed in parliamentary election violence in burundi. A child was killed after a grenade exploded and a stray bullet killed a 4yearold. Families are forced to cross into neighbouring countries. It happened when president Pierre Nkurunziza announced he has running for third terms. The constitution limits them to two terms. Reporter its been a difficult week in bujumbura. Usually at night we hair the gun fire and when we wake up people count the number of the dead. We are not seeing protests. Opposition members are scared, saying theres a crack down, the police are wondering what is going on why they are quiet. They allege that opposition members are arming themselves and the police have been going house to house, door to door. They were in the neighbourhood. They moved further on and are looking for weapons. People are waiting for the results of the parliamentary elections, and theres meant to be a release on wednesday, if not saturday. That has not happened. People are concerned that the government may be trying to cook the results. Theres another attempt at negotiations in tanzania. African leaders will sit again, trying to find a solution. Opposition members say that dialogue may not be the way to go. As far as they are concerned, they are the ones suffering on the ground and the president is still determined to run for a third term despite violating the constitution. Campaigning for sundays bailout referendum has ended, a day before voting begun, the finance minister accused them of terrorism. This is an important vote in greeces modern history. They are voting in favour or against the package imposed by lenders. It include more taxes, pensions and cut backs. The government has been lobbying hard for a no vote. Saying it will strengthen the negotiating hands. Eurozone policy makers warn a no vote could mean a rejection. Euro shutting the door on aid, leading to further nonpayment of loans and paying the way for possible exit from the euro. The vote is an election on president Alexis Tsiprass government. He and finance minister say they may step down if the greek voters say yes. Jonah hull reports from athens. The word olli means no. The no campaign gathered in front of parliament backed by the government wants a future in europe, but with a better deal for greece, less austerity, less money lost to debt repayments. A no vote for me means theres a possibility that this country will have a future. Not far away, the yes crowd met in greek. They are for a bailout, and quickly, one that will allow the banks to reopen. We are here to show that we want to be european citizens, and if possible, return to drachma would be a total disaster. Sundays referendum called unconstitutional by some, and a dangerous gamble is the next act in a drama already five years old. The conclusion has never been less certain. The no vote will write history. Our people will move on. Within a europe of democracy and solidarity. The left wing Prime Minister believes a no vote will strengthen greeces hand in future negotiations, a National Mandate to demand more for less. A yes vote then would in effect be a no to him and his party. Actually, many people are voting yes, are voting against current government. Definitely a yes vote continues with the membership of euro. What strikes me about the two sides, the yes and no camps, is not just the strength with which they are willing to defend their position, but the way they illustrate a division in greeks society, one driven deeper this week, between the largely middle class voters of the yes camp willing to sign the country up to more austerity measures to defend what they have got, and many of those here, workers, with no jobs, little or nothing left to lose. A no vote for the workers and the young people in greece says that we have to stop the negotiations with the european union, take our lives back and fight for our money, jobs and democracy. We are not enemies with the other party, of the yes. I have friends belonging to yes. Tomorrow they will still be my friends. On this square, where greeks so often demonstrated anger in the past, the no crowd stand with the government of the day. If they win on sunday, there is not one person here who truly knows what will happen next still ahead, political instaby and security threats instability and security threats. We speak so an analyst and the inga exhibition under way in the u. S. Capital. Ca exhibition under way in the u. S. Capital. As greece plunges deeper into financial crisis. Greeces choice, a bad deal. And no deal. World markets react. Its a grim picture. The consequences could be catastrophic. For continuing global coverage, stay with al jazeera america. Top stories on al jazeera. Hamas is calling for the release of 100 of its members detained by the Security Forces. The members plan to sow chaos. The raids, 48 hours, were politically motivated. Afghanistans parliament rejected the nomination for a minister. The post is uphilled since the election. The United Nations says children are being killed in burundi, one child died after a grenade exploded and a 4yearold was killed by a stray bullet egypts judge is coming back to court. In may, a man was found guilty of blocking internet and phone communications during the revolution, he and others were fined 90 million. He appealed. A group linked to i. S. I. L. Said it fired three rockets. Israel says no one was injured. Egypts president made a surprise visit to the sinai on saturday days after more than 150 people were killed in an attack by i. S. I. L. Linked fighters. One person has been killed while protesting in egypt. Supporters say Security Forces open fire on a rally in cairo. The demonstrations marking two years since the overthrow of mohamed mursi. Lets get analysis of everything going on. A senior lecturer from the institute of arab and islamic studies joins you. Us. Joins us. Lets start out with the trial. What do you expect the decision to be. The indicators show that thee may be released and there would be a verdict from the accusations. But, of course well see how it goes. Legally speaking the case is week mainly because the general prosecutor office, and the Security Forces were not collaborating, but in the aftermath the political direction was prostatus quo and you saw many of figures getting handed over sentence whereas the hosni mubarak, most or all were released when you look at what is happening in the capital, we understand the latest reports saying two people were killed in demonstrations in cairo, and let me turn your attention to what is going on the unrest that egypt is seeing with groups and the army and we heard rockets were fired into southern israel. What do you make. Developments and is there a comparison between egypt and countries like libya and iraq and syria, is egypt headed down that path . There is elements of that comparison. What happened after july 2015 is that the arms entered into politics. Rather than managing the political constitution via votes and courts it entered with the bullets, and the message sent was the bullet mattered more than ballots, and have you this escalation since then. The escalation in sinai happened earlier, is at an unpress tented level. This is egypts most armed actor that egypt ever had. You have the capacity of an organizations to have the heavy artillery, guiding antimissiles and antiaircraft guided missiles attacking targets, and retreating to its hyde outside. This can, of course develop into a larger case you know a second scenario with the libyan and syria, what they are facing. Having said that when the egyptian media reports that the government will amend egypts laws to speed up to prosecute, imprison and execute terrorist activities in the country, are they rite. The problem is that the legal dimension would not matter any more. The Egyptian Forces would not be lost they are acting outside this court of law. What they are trying to do is legitimate their actions. What needs to be done for egypt to get out of the crisis . There needs to be a review of the policies one visavis the political opposition and the attempt to reconcile to form a committee for reconciliation and attempt media, rather than to escalate and demonize the other. And call for more compromise and reconciliation. This is not happening at the moment. The leading factions they believe that eradication is possible desire automobile and will push through either by these laws or the Security Sector behaviour in sinai, and central delta. Thank you very much. Thank you. I apologise, well have to end it there. Thank you for joining us from istanbul. There has been a series of attacks on the outskirts of maiduguri.

There were no Reproductive Health services shes not had advice on Family Planning. Elizabeth welcomes the news that the u. N. Spends 75 million founding treatment. Some of us had waters breaking in the middle of the night. Theres no hospital. Some have died. This person a mother of five has a different view. I dont want Family Planning and i dont agree with it. My husband doesnt agree with it. When he says we have enough kids, well stop. Access to Reproductive Health Care Services is urgent. Nigeria has the fourth largest population of women, whose needs for Reproductive Health care is not being correct. Meeting the needs could prevent the death during pregnancy and childbirth each year and save the lives of 50,000 newborns. 90 of women in relationships have access to Family Planning. Its one of the highest in the world. Health care workers are concerned about the impact. These problems and things are population based. If you have the problems. Its a wakeup sign. Those working with women say its not just about handing over money, cultural attitudes need to be addressed. When you focus on women, women, and not the motherinlaws, and the mothers, you cant get the end results. Reporter some Health Care Workers are concerned the money might be wasted since the murders of nine members of a black church there has been fires at seven other black churches. Personally i was mortified. Reporter at a church in Charlotte North Carolina Community Members gathered to discuss what to do about a rash of fires at predominantly african churches in the south. No one can tell us that a church concerned consecutively, and nothing goodnight it. Reporter at least two, like this in charlotte, has been confirmed at arson, so far they have not been classified as hate crimes. The a. T. F. An Agency Responsible for investigating a string of fires has no reason to believe the fires are related or racially motivated. If the burns are not racially motivated. It has rekindled memories of a painful past. When emotions are raw. Last month nine members were shot dead taking part in a bible study. Further back in the 1990s, dozens of black churches were torched, prompting the creation of a tax force to stop such fires, and gaoling those responsible. Logically folks connect these together. Attacks in the past have something to do with what is happening now. Its not too far of a stretch to have the fear that this is repercussions. Beautiful, wonderful, loving people. Its why the Southern Church members and activists are discussions how to increase security and promoting racial harmony. It could go and create hundreds of years. Im a realist. Being realistic. If theres any hope attempting to solve the crimes of today. It may be rooted in the countries racial problems a road stretching across south america joined the United Nations list of World Heritage sites.
