BBC 新聞，大家好，我是蓋里弗•巴洛。

The funerals are expected to take place later today of some of the 16 Palestinians killed on Friday in clashes with Israeli soldiers. Hundreds more were injured when violence flared on the border with Gaza on the first day of the planned six-week protest. From Jerusalem, here is Yulan Neil. The Israeli military accuses the protestors of throwing stones and firebombs as they approached the border fence. It says it opened fire to stop attempts to damage the fence across illegally to Israel. Members of the UN Security Council meeting in an emergency section in New York condemned the violence. And the UN Secretary General called for independent investigation into the deaths. Hamas which controls Gaza and other Palestinian groups are calling for families to stay in protest camps near the Israeli border until mid-May. They are demanding the right of return for Palestinians who fled or forced from their homes when Israel was created 70 years ago.

Voting has begun in Sierra Leone where the country's new president will be chosen in a runoff election postponed from earlier in the week. It pits the opposition leader Julius Maada Bio who won the first ballot against the governing party candidate Samura Kamara. From Freetown, Umaru Fofana reports. The former military leader in the 1990s and is then Finance Minister are challenging each other in this runoff. Not much surprise than ideologically. But while Kamara says he wants to maintain the legacy of outgoing president Ernest Bai Koroma who handpicked him. Bio has compagined on the amounts of change, promising free primary and secondary education. With the result expected next week, the winner must be sworn in within 24 hours of his declaration. Whoever he is, he has the divided nation to reunite.
