12:02 am
a un report on the number of children its military campaign in yemen has killed according to the un the saudi led coalition was responsible for six hundred eighty three child casualties in twenty sixteen and four thirty eight verified attacks on schools and hospitals the saudi ambassador describes the figures as misleading mike hanna reports from the united nations. the report lists four thousand recorded violations against children by government forces in some twenty zones of conflict along with over eleven thousand violations by non-state groups but in a carrot and stick approach the format of the report has been altered those states or non-state perpetrators that have been gauged with the un and committed to improving protection for children are placed in a separate blacklist from those parties that have shown no remorse. or concern about their actions the saudi led military coalition in yemen is placed in this
12:03 am
category what became of vanden clear he said there were some listed parties even through many years to three years that had generally been attempting to put in place may shows that i mean they had acknowledged the problem the creation of the category may be an attempt to persuade perpetrators that there is political value in engaging with the u.n. but critics contend it could also be a patent attempt to diminish the saudi anger that followed the military coalition's inclusion in last year's blacklist frankly. the facts speak for themselves the numbers except in response the saudi ambassador said the coalition was committed to working with the u.n. but rejected what he called inaccurate figures quoted in the report we exercise the maximum degree of care and precaution to avoid civilian harm that regrettable
12:04 am
effects of this conflict are a direct result of the horsey and forces loyal to former president signing. the use of immoral and illegal actions that put this in billion population at risk while acknowledging that the saudi coalition had committed to measures protecting children in yemen virginia gamble insisted the saudi coalition still has charges to answer in her report virginia gumbel's said dangers to children in yemen show little sign of diminishing i urge the coalition to improve these measures she said the dangers to children in yemen remain an acceptable a high in two thousand and sixteen the question is a threat to children in conflict zones like yemen less today than it was during the reporting period last year amidst yet another round of claim and counter-claim the answer would appear to be no mike hanna al-jazeera united nations well
12:05 am
caroline an ng is a senior conflict and humanitarian adviser on the children she says even though the saudi led coalition was credited in the report for taking some measures to protect children and not doing enough the saudi arabia led coalition with one of a number of parties that was listed in this new category which is basically party to put in place some measures to improve i mean we have campaigned for the last kind of six months for this to be a robust report that does listen like coalition alongside all the parties in yemen as far as we're concerned they've been listed they should be ashamed as should everybody who is on this devastating list. you could argue that the have been some improvements made we have seen some improvements in the number of hospitals talk to it for example but the reality is what all staff see on the ground every day is a continuation of attacks on civilians attacks on civilian areas reports of folks children killed in an airstrike just yesterday and very very difficult for humanitarian agencies to operate and for children to live their lives so you know as far as we're concerned there hasn't been nearly enough of an improvement
12:06 am
afghanistan more than three thousand child casualties last year to put that into context yemen had about one thousand three hundred the highest we've ever seen in afghanistan ever recorded which is really a depressing statistic and there's a number of reasons why that's the case an increase in ground fighting roadside bombs that are very dangerous for children as well as as drugs and it just shows you know we have coming in the report shows some progress on issues like child soldiers but it also paints a very depressing picture for children in conflicts around the world in afghanistan and iraq in yemen in syria around the world children of victims of conflicts that are not of their making save the children is an aid agency that works in conflict zones all around the world we know too well how it happens and happens because people do not take the cash to protect children people don't make the effort to protect children you know they're either intentionally harming them sometimes children the targeted it's a home the community because they make good child soldiers because you know a school makes
12:07 am
a good military base sometimes they just haven't made the effort to not harm them so unfortunately you know we're seeing a world in which children of course often very brutal and conflicts often without any discrimination between civilians and military targets and we need to see much much more effort made to protect those children. the u.s. state department has approved the possible sale of a missile defense system to saudi arabia the system would cost saudi arabia fifteen billion dollars system intercepts and destroys ballistic missiles before they can reach their targets the department said in a statement that the sale would help protect the gulf region from iranian threats the spanish government's official representative in catalonia has apologized for the violent response by place during the balance the session referendum on sunday council on health authorities say around nine hundred people were injured as a result of the police action but the apology didn't stop the spanish authorities

and nuclear weapons organization has been awarded this year's nobel peace prize the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons or i can is based in geneva the u.n. secretary general welcomed the unexpected decision tweeting that now more than ever the world without nuclear weapons to be phillip's reports. the announcement from the ways capital. than a week nobel committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for twenty seventeen. to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons i can't. i can't but you need a base coalition of campaigning groups from more than one hundred countries has promoted a treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons. this is
12:12 am
a time of great global tension where fear could easily lead us to unspeakable horror the specter of nuclear conflict looms large once more if there's ever a time for states to declare their opposition to nuclear weapons that moment now. with north korea's repeated nuclear weapons tests and its trading of insults with the united states war seems a more real possibility now than at any time since the cold war the united states has great strength and patience but if it is forced to defend itself. we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea donald trump is also threatening to take the united states out of the iran nuclear agreement the negotiations for the nuclear treaty were boycotted by the americans but the other nuclear weapons states britain france china russia israel india and pakistan also say they won't
12:13 am
sign the message we are sending is to remind them of the commitments that they have already made that say also are obliged to work for nuclear free world. these weapons of fire and fury have not been used in anger since one thousand nine hundred forty five but the haunting images of hiroshima and nagasaki still testament to their horror phillips al-jazeera london. well earlier this week i can say executive director tweeted that donald trump was a moron speaking after the award she used more diplomatic language but made clear her concerns about the us president the election of president donald trump has made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons and there's nothing people can do to stop him. or you
12:14 am
can be with a tweet. who seems to be taking rational decisions very quickly. sort of not listening to expertise is it just puts a spotlight on a spotlight on what the nuclear weapons really mean. there are no right hands whether for the wrong weapons. well international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons or i can works with four hundred sixty eight partner organizations across the world it was founded in vienna in two thousand and seven during an international conference on the nuclear nonproliferation treaty the group promotes a u.n. treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons adopted by one hundred twenty two nations it doesn't include the united states russia china britain or france i'm joined now by rebecca johnson the vice president of the campaign for nuclear disarmament and the founding co-chair of i can't thank you very much for coming in
12:15 am
to us as i just did a very potted history there but just explain a little bit more really of where i can really came from thinking about obviously your background with sandy where my background is also with the nonproliferation treaty and actually with working first for the i.n.f. treaty the u.s. russia treaty that banned the cruise missiles the pershing the u.s.s. twenty's in the one nine hundred eighty s. and then the comprehensive test ban treaty but we realized then that actually what we need to do is prevent all nuclear weapons we can't just do it piecemeal and that the problem was that a lot of people thought that nuclear dangers had gone away at the end of the cold war and they hadn't and we can see that much more clearly now with the nucleus saber rattling with a nuclear threats being exchanged by president trump and kim jong un and so in two thousand and seven what we really decided that we needed to do was to build a new international campaign we called ourselves the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons and to start working with governments but also to
12:16 am
reenergize the movement among young people and people in the non-nuclear countries or the countries that had given up nuclear weapons to work for a treaty that would prohibit nuclear weapons and this year the u.n. adopted the treaty that we worked so hard to achieve i suppose people sitting at home will be thinking yes but the escalation is going on anyway i mean just in the in the last half a. now we're hearing from a russian agency saying that somebody a lawmaker has just returned from north korea where they believe that north koreans are about to test a long range missile that could hit the west coast of america if it was pointed in that direction the likes of north korea aren't really listening to cause for a treaty like well actually that's not entirely true because north korea voted in the u.n. general assembly last year for the negotiations now you're quite right they were not among the over fifty countries that signed the treaty on the first day but what
12:17 am
we realized had to happen was you know north korea developed nuclear weapons because they thought it was weak leader we tried to hold on that nuclear weapons would give them kind of power projection internationally would deter would scare the u.s. and indeed this is the classical theory of of nuclear deterrence but the problem with that is that you have to have both a capability to use nuclear weapons and you have to be threatening and have a believable threat that's precisely what north korea is doing but we what we need to do internationally is show that he's a pariah weapons they are inhumane that they do not confer any kind of status or political credibility that's the first step we've always said bring it in the nuclear weapons including prohibiting the use and threat of nuclear weapons is the first step we still have to work regionally to to get the the weapons out of northeast asia we have to work internationally to get all the nuclear arsenals
12:18 am
reduced and eliminated it is a question for you who is more of a threat do you think as far as nuclear fear of nuclear war is is the president trump or is it president kim they are both a threat there they are both threats to the world because both seem to think that nuclear weapons give them some kind of of power and and they are using it the trouble is with the kind of. threats that they're they're wielding they could by miscalculation by mistake we know this from the cold war we got very close to nuclear war not just in the cuban missile crisis but several times in the one nine hundred eighty s. for example because of mistakes because of miscalculation so the danger is that these irrational weak men actually wielding big nuclear weapons will take the foolish arrogant step that they cannot retreat from and that will launch
12:19 am
a nuclear war so what we you know i think what the nobel committee was doing was on the one hand they were agreeing with us that all nuclear weapons must be stigmatised banned and eliminated and they were giving us encouragement and resources to carry on with the job that we've started to make the treaty on the prohibition nuclear weapons really work to sign up the u.k. and the u.s. and russia north korea and the other nine nuclear states and then in signing them up to get them to agree to the right kind of timetable to eliminate the arsenals however large or small we have to get all of them to stop thinking they can brandish nuclear weapons thank you very much for your impassioned. explanation there rebecca johnson and congratulations on the prize thank you. u.s. president donald trump's plan to decertify the iranian nuclear dail is being greeted with international criticism the year of paying commissions says the dail
12:20 am
is working that all sides should stick to their commitments russia's foreign minister is also backing the tail tama coming to pull from washington in typical style the us president heightened suspense over the fate of the landmark nuclear deal with iran when he posed with senior military officials cryptically he said maybe it's the calm before the storm donald trump wouldn't explain whether he was referring to iran but again he made clear his distaste for what he's condemned as an embarrassing deal made by his predecessor barack obama we must put an end to iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement as to the letter of the deal his administration has twice certified to the u.s. congress that iran is fundamentally complying with the terms earlier this week defense secretary james mattis said holding iran to it was in america's security
12:21 am
interest i believe at this point in time absent indications to the contrary it is something the president should consider staying with but if he does refuse to sort of donald trump could force congress to make the next move it has sixty days to review its options and those include sanctions the u.s. president's allies in congress say their aim is to force iran back to the bargaining table i'm saying that we need a new and broader approach that looks at fixing the problems with the deal and confronting iran campaign for purely aggression in the region that may involved were imposed sanctions but there's no reason we shouldn't give some time for diplomacy to work with iran's foreign minister told al jazeera that by withdrawing trump would be damaging u.s. credibility so i believe the united states would be much better off if the united states it could. to avoid. because if it didn't be international community would never trust
12:22 am
a new commitment by the united states even those who say the deal is bad acknowledge that renewing sanctions would have an economic impact on the united states boeing one of america's biggest employers has signed twenty billion dollars in orders from iranian airlines it's warned that one hundred thousand american jobs are in jeopardy if sanctions are reimposed trump is also at odds with his allies including the british embassy here pointedly tweeted the nuclear deal it's working we'll all be listening closely when the president makes his announcement next week a few days before the resort of occasion deadlines tom ackerman al jazeera washington the american civil liberties union is suing the trumpet ministration after it rolled back measures on birth control guidance issued by the attorney general just sessions will allow employers to exempt themselves from providing health insurance to their employees that covers contraceptives the document is
12:23 am
aimed at protecting religious freedom c.l.d. human nor suit has been filed in san francisco federal court it claims that change would be unconstitutional or for more on this diane estabrook joins me now from washington diane just give me a real sort of explanation as to why the union is quite so angry and wants to bring this lawsuit. well the a.c.l.u. says that this could be a huge setback for women's reproductive rights now keep in mind before obamacare most many many health insurance plans didn't cover birth control or women who had insurance had to pay high co-pays for birth control for contraception under obamacare that went away most people were covered most women were covered but there were some religious organizations that contested that this violated their rights their religious beliefs and they they took the oath they took the administration to court they sued now the white house the trumping ministration is saying that
12:24 am
they've paved the way for these religious groups to to not have to pay for birth control the white house says that this would only maybe affect about one hundred twenty thousand people but this rule that they they laid out today said that this could apply not only to nonprofits to religious organizations like churches or schools but it could also apply to for profit organizations or for profit companies so you could have public companies who could say based on religious or moral reasons we don't want to pay for birth control and that's what has the a.c.l.u. and many women's rights groups so upset on top of that the insurance companies would still be required to pay for erectile dysfunction medication for men which they say is sort of a double standard. why do you think so do you think that the lawsuit has a chance of succeeding and some francisco. it's hard to say now in san francisco it might have a good shot because obviously san francisco is a very liberal community now we did talk to
12:25 am
a law professor earlier today that says even though this rule would say that employers might not have to pay or wouldn't have to pay for birth control they the women could still potentially have birth control covered through the government they might be able to go to the government exchange and still get contraception coverage so that might be something that could be pursued in this lawsuit many things day and being isolated contraceptive ruling. u.n. is concerned that growing violence in the democratic republic of congo is worsening the region's refugee crisis that they are see is host to more than four hundred seventy thousand refugees including hundreds of thousands who have fled fighting in burundi in the past two years but even more people more than four hundred ninety thousand have fled the d.l.c. to take refuge in neighboring countries the most recent outbreak of violence has driven more than three thousand people over the border into zambia in a moment we'll hear from malcolm webb the refugee camp in vera in the d.r.

february and camped outside the fence for two months before they allowed us to come in. many others here also told us they camped outside for months before they were allowed to come in and register. the un and the government who run the comes say the nearby long term refugee settlements now full and the transit comes filled up because of a new influx of refugees fleeing violence in the room the earlier this year the camp is within the sound of the vera which is close to burundi the border is just a couple of hundred meters down this road and this is where most of the refugees came from just over a week ago a congress militia came down from these hills and attacked the town they fought with the army and at that point all of the refugees who were camped outside allowed in with the insecurity has caused many more problems since government troops seem to be in control of the town for now they fought off the attackers with help from
12:30 am
u.n. peacekeepers but humanitarian workers pulled out and food supplies were cut off. so the people in the camp went from eating to meals a day to just one they say the corn flour paste tastes terrible and gives the children diarrhea and everyone says they're hungry the u.n. says it's in the process of opening a new long term settlement since the first one called lucinda became full we had really funding issues big funding issues but even without you know the little sign we're getting we are now developing a new camp and that is the reason why i actually send the camp is overcrowded and the transit center is supposed to be transit facilities have now become actually camps most of these refugees fled to tanzania and some to rwanda those that came here to congo so it was the closest border they could reach. and they're the least fortunate struggling to survive in a country that suffers from poverty and conflict as much as their own malcolm webb

12:40 am
that means that when more rains comes the conditions can get more unsanitary that's one of the reasons why aid workers are so afraid that epidemics could break out here at any time why they are trying to prevent that and you have the fact that i mean look at how these these tents are constructed all that these people have to survive the elements with tarp wood and other materials it's very difficult to survive conditions like this when you only have few materials like that it's a real concern and everybody that we've been speaking with be they refugees who arrived in the past month be they refugees who arrived in the past few days especially the aid workers all sounding the alarm bells all saying that they expect things are only going to get worse. more than three million mexicans were affected by last month's earthquake which hit the impoverished southern states of one haka and she ten days later another quake hit mexico city and the international attention shifted to the capital there are still thousands of mexicans in the south
