And demonstrations in kenya as crisis talks continue over whether or not they will be a rerun of the president ial election. Thank you for joining us the palestinian faction hamas says its reach a deal on political reconciliation with fatah a move that could signal an end to a decade long divide between the two groups hamas and fatah have been meeting in egypt and capital cairo to disk. At the formation of a National Unity government. Brokered by egypt started on to sleep live to aljazeera as harry foster who is in ramallah for us in the occupied west bank harry it seems they delayed the press conference we were expecting out of cairo on the details out this agreement what do we know they have agreed on exactly where yes we heard that theyd arrived about ten minutes before the press conference was due to take place an hour ago and we are still waiting for it so those details havent yet been officially announced but what we are hearing out of gaza from a senior official in the strip is that the agreement centered around three key points the crossings between egypt and gaza the rougher border how that will be policed security within gaza who will will police the strip itself we have been hearing last week that there might be a plan whereby three thousand Palestinian AuthoritySecurity Offices start to be merged with the hamas officers who have been carrying out the security operation for the last ten years and crucially the issue of employment for the tens of thousands of hamas officials whove been working in the government in the the sort of shadow government that hamas has been operating since the division in two thousand and seven were hearing a plan of four months in duration to try and merge at least some of those into the Palestinian Authority government so those are the key facts that we have so far were still waiting for all of that to be fleshed out in terms of how this is all being received given the humanitarian situation within gaza there is a huge will in gaza for this to take place soon or thirty itself has been imposing extra restrictive measures to try and pressure hamas to this point and they have really bitten in terms of perhaps payments to staff in terms of specially of the Electricity Supply being squeezed and so people are desperate for this to work. When we used to hear about any reconciliation efforts we would think immediately of the failure of it but we hope this time is different unity could at least solve the power crisis and bring happiness to the gazan people. Weve had enough eleven years of suffering without electricity no medicine for people no travelling we want to live like other nations so area a great deal of help from palestinians as specially those in what has been the reaction if any from israel. So far no reaction to this announcement or impending announcements we have had a statement in the last few days from the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in which he again. Any attempts at reconciliation must include from hamas a recognition of the state of israel disarming of its military wing that is something that he said before its not as aggressive in tone as netanyahu has been towards previous attempts to reconcile the United States has also been relatively muted in its response so there is kind of almost a default encouragement i think among many countries for this to happen and of course the huge pressure coming from egypt which is very much sponsored this and in some quarters is being seen as something of a partner a guarantor potentially in this deal being implemented and being sustainable. Gary foster live for us in ramallah thank you very much and of course well bring you that press conference out of cairo when it happens of the palestinian factions who will be officially announcing the deal theyve reached to reconcile now a bit more background on what led to the divisions between the palestinian groups in the first place in two thousand and six hamas won parliamentary elections but he couldnt reach an agreement on how to share power with fatah a year later hamas took control of gaza after days of gun battles with fatah the conflicts weaken the Palestinian Authority leaving it only in charge of palestinian territories in the west bank which is occupied by israel since march last year had been running gaza under an Administrative Committee which was seen as a rival government to the fatah dominated Palestinian Authority in the west bank but last month it agreed to hand over administrative powers in gaza to a fatah backed government. Is a professor of Political Science at university he says the timing is right for an end to the rift between the two palestinian groups. And the palestinians has been has taken place more than ten years ago since the summer of two thousand and seven and so many agreements have been reached between hamas and fatah over the years but none of them has worked but i believe this time the chances of success are much bigger than the previous times for a number of reasons are first of all that. The new leadership under the leader of yes and one who is the head of hamas in the girls us to who is much more serious about dollars than the reconciliation and second we do have a much more serious. Effort by the Egyptian Government who is trying to regain its regional role in the middle east region by engaging in the palestinian reconciliation efforts and i believe a third reason would be an International Push for palestinian reconciliation with whether you us who is much more interested in the socalled big deal between the palestinian and israelis. And without palestinian reconciliation this deal might not go forward for for all of these three reason i believe that. Has a much better justice done than the previous times the two million palestinians in the ghost of been looking forward for for this they are the person. To the palestinians unemployment in the gaza strip forty three percent seventy percent of the palestinians in gaza are under the poverty line and the past six months. Has taken harsh measures against gaza with reducing electricity and. Have been catastrophic so the palestinians are waiting for this day now the news tensions are growing between kurdish authorities and Iraqi Government after last months controversial to session referendum baghdad has denied claims by the Kurdish Regional government that it plans a major attack on the region the Kurdish Regional government says it fears Iraqi Government forces could launch an assault on the autonomy Northern Region lets go live to fred who is in erbil the capital of the region in Northern Iraq tell us about the situation on the ground for how tense things right now. Well it certainly seems as if tension is mounting were just outside of erbil the checkpoint you can see behind me is the last Kurdish Peshmerga checkpoint. On the main road between erbil and mosul and this was one of two roads that was closed by the k r g last night following what they say will messages that they received from the Iraqi Military and shia militia groups saying that they were planning an attack around southwest of the oil rich city of kirkuk and an area north of mosul now the baghdad government denied these messages completely rejecting them but these roads were closed last night theyve opened in the last couple of hours but its a big indication of just how nervous the k r g are at the moment kirkuk is a hugely important area for all the its all well schooled six hundred thousand barrels of oil exported there by the kurdish all sources every day its an area in the disputed parts of Northern Iraq the Kurdish Peshmerga say they are not going to withdraw and pull back from that area they having taken control of it in two thousand and fourteen but analysts are saying that if there is going to be a flashpoint its all around that all rich area of kirkuk the Kurdish Regional government ali very nervous because theres been a great deal of pressure on it not just from the Central Government in baghdad but also from the neighboring countries after this controversial referendum. Right there we have seen joint military operations between the Iraqi Military and the iranians on the Iranian Border joint military operations between the iraqis and the turkish on the on the Turkish Border i mean in the last few hours that we hear reports that the spokesperson for the turkish president president roosevelt try a murder one saying now that turkey is planning on gradually taking control of that land border with the k r g in coordination with the iraqi and the iranian governments theyve been threatening to do this since that referendum happened certainly the turks now saying that they are intent on doing that and its been increasing pressure as weve been saying from baghdad it was yesterday one of the main federal courts said that it had arrest warrants for members of the k r g Election Commission for those arrests to be made however it has to be signed off by the Supremes Court. The list of names has not been made public and that signature from the Supremes Court hasnt happened yet but theyre also putting pressure on the banks here as well the federal government saying that they want to take control of Bank Transactions they said that theyre going to reopen an old pipeline that would circumvent a pipeline across the k r g to get oil out of turkey. Last night certainly the biggest indication so far really of just how nervous the k r g government of the k r g have become in the wake of this very controversial referendum held more than two weeks ago charlie thank you very much for that child fred reporting there live from abu ala in Northern Iraq. Spain is celebrating its national day as a political crisis over the future of the catalonia region deepens many have already taken to the streets south boston and i in a show of unity these are live pictures independence rallies out so i expected that the Central Government in madrid has given casanova his leader china scholars put him on time to monday to say whether or not he has declared independence not. If catalonia does price on with secession a Spanish Government says it will take away the regions funny scholar tonic currency has more from madrid. It is the most extraordinary turn of events that Spanish National day coincides exactly with a day numeral of the crisis between madrid and barcelona have a look over here and you can you can see what it looks like look at the depth of the crowd the other side of the road maybe ten or twelve people day this is actually the end of the parade now but huge applause for the army coming past the fly over by the air force always very militaristic as an event that is loved by supporters of king and country really but its the timing is crucial because for the National Government here in madrid is the perfect opportunity to send a message to the catalans and to say look how united we are the whole of spain is here the whole of spain suppose unity and the whole of spain hates your idea of independence and at the moment they think theyve got the capital and Independence Movement on the run because theyve given this deadline of monday to the president to say are you going to go independent or are you not and i know that whichever decision he makes they will split his own movements this feels like really does feel like a triumph in sort of day for the nationalist movements the progovernment movement of madrids. Dr Nakasone Gago in barcelona sunny a number of rallies happening today tell us about where you are and whats happening. Wolf this particular rally. Right now is a rally which takes place every year on national day it is comprising of a group of fringe national right wing groups that commemorate national day every year at this particular point and their rhetoric is one that can be expected is a lot of criticism especially this year about the im seeing you have a salon separatists and the the kufa separatist robber and a lot of criticism also of the petition as them have been presiding over this is one of the cats one government side also quite a bit of islamophobia aggressor it has well but these dont necessarily represent the the unity boyces those that is a completely different rally this is is something which is which happens every year it represents a tiny percent of the ultra right wing the right wing fraction the ultra right wing as you can probably hit see behind me a lot of chanting a lot of pro spain and prospering unity chants being taken place here as well and that really goes in contrast to a march that we were out which was an anti fascist march their plan was to march up this side of the city and to meet this particular one they try and do this every year the local Police Called the most of the squad that have stopped them and now theyre going now towards the city center and maybe joining perhaps the unity march that all in all quite a day full of these tensions which have continuously happened it now of course this year has special significance holly thank you very much for that.

Im Christopher Lee in manhattan where the chinese artist ai wei wu. He has created one of the great. Coming out ill tell you which famous new york are you trying to meet. Or as yesterday theres a stream of cloud running out of Central China north and china more or less and out through the Korean Peninsula heading study southwest towards japan now that does bring some rain with it its not particularly heavy or concentrated so it looks like rather a cloudy day but brighton is part with some right in holland maybe some in. But behind it all the suns come out so it should be a sunny day for the green producer and a good part of northern china were still at nineteen degrees in beijing the only plus one in will and but what was significant snow showed a couple days ago its not that the cold air is on sea right its not far away as you say but its not over this part its not over koreas not over japan and start of the most part northern china still got rain there and that rain is concentrating still around sichuan less so the further east you go. Because weve got this concentration down here thats going to induce a northeasterly but its still quite a humid one so that the chances are itll be slowly cooling down in hong kong but it wont feel it because youve got this massive cloud commune full of moisture with rain probably to follow certainly for taiwan but theres a secular nation of the philippines and its course eventually will take it not to china probably across again to vietnam.
