10:04 am
rogue nations this is what the north korean foreign minister said in response. that trump is thinking about surprising us with the sound of a dog barking then he is clearly dreaming. for staying in that region the chinese government has reiterated its stance that the fired anti missile missile system should be removed from south korea to help deescalate tensions across the korean peninsula in another development there is an offer of humanitarian aid for north korea from across the border the unification minister in seoul says a humanitarian crisis is separate from the ongoing political and diplomatic crisis . the government has consistently clarified its stance that we separate humanitarian aid from political situations in considering the poor situation of north korean people especially vulnerable social groups including children and pregnant women the international community continues to stress the necessity of
10:05 am

10:06 am
son because he works on ships in the waters all the parents are worried. daybreak is the preferred time for missile launches. but now at the local military base newly arrived patriot missiles point skywards they can't do much against missiles passing hundreds of kilometers overhead but are meant as a defense against a direct attack on you know i feel safer but at the same time if they have to use missiles it means war has started. i'm afraid there will be another north korean missile test when the alarm is raised sirens go off in this. people are alerted on their mobile phones in biggest cities there would be subways and underpasses to go to but in how people are supposed to get indoors and take shelter as best they can at city hall the man whose job it is to prepare for another alarm is hoping north
10:07 am

10:11 am

10:18 am
abbas has accused israel of jeopardizing the idea of a two state solution by building more illegal settlements in palestinian areas now he made those comments during his address to the un general assembly in the state earlier he'd met donald trump after the meeting mr abbas at the u.s. was committed to peace in the middle east but israel hit back saying the speech from the quotes spread false hoods and encouraged hate israel also called him a serial evader of peace. despite all international efforts israel continues to breach its commitments and obstruct efforts by continuing to build settlements everywhere everywhere there is no place left for the state of palestine and this is not acceptable for us or for you you have the responsibility israel also rejects the two state solution and this poses a real threat to both peoples the israelis and palestinians alike. the un's libya
10:19 am
envoy has announced a new push to break the political deadlock there gas and salami satires an action plan to amend a failed twenty fifteen peace deal the un backed government of national called set up under that agreement has never fully established itself early in tripoli libya has competing governments aligned with rival armed groups the country has been hit by violence since the former leader colonel gadhafi was toppled six years ago. within a year from now we must reach the final stages of this process these are effort and i'm for that option of the constitution and then within the framework of the constitution the election of a president and a parliament henceforth clearly marking the end of the transition this process in all its stages is indeed meant to prepare the proper conditions for a free and fair elections which will actually have a libya and to institutional and political normalcy that is much to be done and this plan is certainly ambitious however if the libyan people can come together in
10:20 am
this spirit of compromise and together and i knew common national narrative this plan is achievable the international community has a decisive part to play in this together we can support the libyans by uniting the single process one way or libya leads and we all assessed. thousands of people are holding a rally in the yemeni capital sana'a today the protest marks the third anniversary of the takeover of the city by a shia who see rebels on whedon's day atop who's the leader accuse the west and their allies of causing chaos in yemen and. as we said the immoralities are the front for the americans and today they're stealing yemen's natural gas despite the suffering of the yemeni people in both santa and people are suffering from issues related to both natural gas and petrol either in not being able to find it or not being able to benefit from its wealth in all of this the
10:21 am
yemeni people are not the ones who benefit ok let's pause for a moment and take a look back at how the crisis in yemen kicked off the rise of the who sees can be traced back to november of twenty eleven when the then president ali abdullah saleh was forced to hand over power to his deputy and current president's brother months or hardy now that created a power vacuum who the rebels who say they represent the minority shia community took advantage of that they took control of the capital sana'a on september the twenty first twenty fourteen with iranian support in response a saudi led coalition stepped in beginning airstrikes in march of twenty fifteen to defeat the who sees and restore yemen's government various runs of un mediated talks to end the yemeni conflict have failed more than ten thousand people have been killed since the fighting began. let's talk now to hakim is the editor of the yemen post he joins us on skype from the capital sana'a so we're expecting
10:22 am
a big strong show from who thinks supporters but that doesn't translate into regional change or power changing hands on the ground outside the city itself why is that. again. it's a very big rally today hundreds of thousands of protestors but a one sided protest or rally where it's only the followers and not even hit their allies here the party of x. president saddam let alone other parts of the country who is right now are showing strength in areas they control now and that's about thirty to forty percent of yemen territories but what's shocking right now is that even though they were able to gather hundreds of thousands of followers. it's only their color only their followers rarely the see or all or almost no followers of the ex-president who was able to gather hundreds of thousands of protesters just two weeks ago inside
10:23 am
a. very clear division inside not between the two allies at a time where there were these are gathering to show strength after three years of so would you let airstrikes they are still powerful on the ground militarily no one side in this conflict despite external players coming into the conflict has gained much ground over the past eleven or twelve months what needs to change if that situation is going to change. both sides are basically in agreement that they cannot change on the ground they cannot change their movements on the ground in seven different frauds that man ballot rounds not even five kilometers have changed for either side over the last twelve to sixteen months so it's it's clear that no side can solve this militarily but the problem is that there are no mediation is
10:24 am
taking place in the meantime the un has stalled its mediation efforts people are now are close to a peace deal there were calls for the opening up of peace talks by doha. just two days ago but the problem is both sides are in need of mediation but the international community is quiet there's no siree now what call it with this the un has stalled its efforts and this is the result of more casualties more chaos and unfortunately more deaths of civilians you know that you know what you're seeing there and something positive coming from doha two days ago does that mean that we have to some level view this conflict through the the uptick of the g.c.c. crisis because if you have cats saying look we can build on something from ground zero given the g.c.c. crisis how is that going to be received across the border in saudi arabia.
10:25 am
it's it's worth trying right now there's no efforts at all so. it with it would not hurt to attempt this initiative and try to solve this crisis through the e.c. and if you do what's right now i get the i know it's a national cause for mediation so this is why i don't think for now because they call it with peace but i don't time we no one else call it words every day every day tens of children are dying in yemen not by war but by hunger or by simple diseases so it just needs to come to an end and it cannot be ended militarily i'm pretty sure saudi arabia will. be very cautious agreeing to anything that comes from qatar as a as a peace deal but if we got that or if not that it can. communicate with other g.c.c. nations like kuwait like oh my i've come up with a group of countries are calling for a peace deal or the halt of military activities and the renewable political talks
10:26 am
then this is where i think it's not for me to add the region well will welcome this call ok we'll have to leave the hakim. thank you supporters of next month's independence referendum in catalonia calling for more protests against the main government's demonstrations spoke with the police in barcelona began off the offices raided regional government offices and arrested public officials the central government is trying to stop the pope from bosler. the backlash on the streets after a wave of police raids. pro independence activists massed outside catalan beetle government offices in barcelona moments after spanish security forces stormed in. police detained public officials in an operation aimed at blocking the independence referendum planned for october the first the spanish government is group the ballot illegal.
