secretary of state calls on g.c.c. countries to find a solution to the gulf crisis but warns they're not yet ready to talk. out of again i've had a steep bar and this is the al jazeera live from london also coming up. reelected it's now the japanese prime minister ways to see if he has sufficient support to reform the pacifist constitution. the world health organization by tracks on its appointment of zimbabwe's president robert mugabe as a goodwill ambassador. and exclusive look inside the desert airbase that some u.s. personnel say is the most important military facility in the world.

and our u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says talks to resolve the gulf crisis remain on likely. cattery foreign minister in doha he called on gulf cooperation council countries to minimize the rhetoric and deescalate the tensions to listen flew from saudi arabia that's where he had talks with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound he also met the iraqi prime minister on a body and says he wants to counter it rainy and influence in iraq particle he reports from doha. he talked tough on his way over blaming the saudi led coalition for the impasse but in the region the tough talk stopped meetings with the crown prince mohammed bin. replacing gauge placing gauge in dialogue. there's not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. and so we cannot force talks on people who are not ready to talk. still us secretary of state rex

tillerson took great pains to compliment the good tarries significant progress has been made in a number of important efforts in our counterterrorism joint efforts including sharing of terrorist list terrorist financing we've participated in a number of counter-terrorism technical sessions and training and significant steps have been taken to say v.a. should security. he didn't criticize the blockading countries not even after the saudis seem to publicly slight him by sending the deputy minister of protocol to the airport for his part the qatari foreign minister is clearly frustrated by the behavior of the four blockading countries assess them i also feel sorry to say that they are not ready to face this issue and to tackle with dialogue the reasons for this crisis these countries have resorted to undergo a magic methods that have nothing to do with modern diplomatic channels and this is no good secretary tell us and isn't leaving the region and he is expected to do one

more press conference this time on his own here in doha so that means he has one more chance however unlikely to try and put some public pressure on the blockading countries to try to resolve this crisis as it begins to enter its fifth month. al-jazeera. craig is the assistant professor of defense studies that king's college in london he joined us earlier to talk about the u.s. attitude towards the gulf crisis. they're really very frustrated with the united arab emirates and for quite a long time they've they've ignored the u.a.e. and move toward saudi thinking that if anybody can make a breakthrough from the quartet side it might be saudi arabia now we're feeling that m.b.a.'s mob in some on the crown prince is in the same situation as the crown prince of up with abby saying we're not ready to talk which is obviously quite desperate for the united states because there's very little they can do a lot of very few leaders they can actually pull in order to put more pressure on

the quartet to actually approach cut a big scuttle has said they are ready to talk until us and knows that but i think there is an issue as well with terrorism because tillerson is someone that in the quartet countries in saudi and the u.a.e. lacks a little bit of credibility because as an exxon mobil cheve or former chief of exxon mobil used to be very close to the country leadership he knows qatar and he's a bit seen as a as someone who is a bit pro cutter are more in the countryside and i think that kind of undermines his credibility in riyadh and i with i mean. japan's prime minister shinzo abyei has swept to victory in a snap election after promising to toughen his stance on north korea and revive the economy also results say abbes ruling coalition has already want two hundred and sixty four seats that easily surpasses a simple majority in the four hundred sixty five seat parliament but abyei is hoping for two thirds supermajority to push through his agenda and for that he

needs at least three hundred ten seats exit polls have put him on track for that well japan's constitution since the second world war limits its military to being a self defense force says that law is a relic of the past and having a simple majority will help change the constitution and develop a fully fledged army there is sarah clarke sent this report from tokyo. it's a remarkable turnaround for japan's prime minister plagued by corruption scandals sheen zoabi and his coalition party were on shaky ground last month but on election day they were favorites to win reelection and an exit poll predicted the liberal democratic party would secure a parliamentary majority a coalition partner lost several seats that shinzo are by look set to become japan's longest serving leader since world war two. two newly formed political parties filed to oust an exit poll says the party of hope led by the popular

governor of tokyo rica quake a up to fifty nine seats and the constitutional democratic party looks set to win even more making it the largest opposition party in japan's lower house not enough to challenge overwhelming majority the opposition itself that is unfair or unifying ideology it doesn't really. unifying policy platform and if they did manage to develop a credible narrative of being a better alternative than the current government even though the current cabinet is not that popular vote here in japan is not compulsory at the last election about fifty percent of eligible voters turned out but we're talking land to live in wet conditions the public has been encouraged to vote early and i have already about fifteen percent have been to the polls before the official election day this day

it's protections that this election may see a higher voter turnout by mid-afternoon heavy rain sitting in with flooding in some areas organizers predicted the lowest voter turnout for the third consecutive lower house elections if shinzo are basic you is a two thirds majority that will deliver him the mandate to reform the pacifist constitution and allow japan's armed forces to play a more active role the issue has divided voter opinion on the moment i support a constitutional change i want him to go right ahead with it and. i hope there won't be any wars because i have a baby although things are very different from the past i'm still worried. at a time of regional uncertainty and escalating tensions with north korea opinion polls indicate voters choosing stability this time around given shinzo are by and his ruling party a third term in power. sara clock out a zero tokyo under cements reports from buffalo. this is the center of regional

a right for the nation and we are sure. that justice is on our side in this one of the most decentralized countries in the world the spanish state on the regional government in barcelona and now more entrenched than ever before but what about the millions of people affected by all of this for some of them this isn't as simple as choosing one side or the other parent who used to be a socialist party supporter he's been against independence but is now in a dilemma he says he's horrified by the action of mariano rajoy government in taking power away from elected politicians they decided to apply the worst case scenario for suppressing the self-government and tell to the people hey we're going to vote again to get what you want but when we've expanded government because now i'm feeling not comfortable at all with the spanish. government or solution but

still not believe in what the independence is saying that everything is going to be fast and fantastic i don't know what what what's going to happen next week and i think going to be worst than now. after the mass protests on saturday a contrast catalan coach will events all relating to nationalism. and outside the palace housing a regional government that wants independence and old catalan nationalist song is played its lyrics romanticize the struggle for independence in reality there's nothing romantic about the situation right now and drew simmons al-jazeera. thousands of protest as a rallying capital in a show of support for the defacto leader. has been widely criticized the high

book by counter mind of the top stories. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says talks to resolve the gold prices remain unlikely the meetings in saudi arabia accounts are. japan's prime minister has swept to victory in the election after promising to toughen his career and be economy. on spain's foreign minister is urging people in catalonia not to listen to their regional leaders. to take control of the region. one important factor in u.s. relations with castro is the fact that central command the u.s. military that handles operations in the middle east has its headquarters just

outside the capital doha. without access to the base. this is an order to her base in qatar some military personnel consider it the most important u.s. air base in the world. it's revise u.s. central command with the facilities and equipment required for operations. the base is home to several different types of aircraft used in missions across the region these tasks range from strategic bombing flights to just stick support such as the ones provided by refuting turncoat planes you date is truly the nerve center of all the operations that we execute across the central command your responsibility from the planning execution and assessment of the every day operations that we operate throughout the region is done right here without this base without the

capabilities that we bring every day we would not be able to orchestrate the fight that we're executing today against isis and also in afghanistan which is another important area that we provide support to there are no diplomatic issues that are impacting our ability to operate every day from here on our counter isis mission this is the sensitive operation room called the combined operation center al-jazeera is one of the few media networks allowed into this place some screens were blurred to protect sensitive information many countries have joined the coalition to coordinate the complex operations in iraq syria and afghanistan. when the screens we can see the busy earth strikes a coalition aircraft along with military and civilian planes for both the coalition and our field level operators they work back through the commander control system to provide us information we have near real time information where the aircraft are

operating and we can talk to a control agency who is able to talk directly to those aircraft and in many cases we can talk directly to the aircraft. more than twenty countries will tell you which is considered the commander predation center called the. bulge as iraq holidayed air base in qatar. now polls have officially closed in argentina's midterm congressional election polls predict that president moderates here mark critz coalition government could win close to forty percent of the national vote extending its control over congress. seeking a mandate to overhaul the economy the official results are expected on monday as good a point as ours and speaks out as there is daniel daniel these midterm elections well they are an opportunity out there for the public to pass judgment on the sitting president how is president mike referring to. he thinks he's doing very well with the unofficial exit polls that have just come out all parties are

saying that they've done well that they've won that one that's a case for scrutiny for of the speculations we have to see where we really stand when those official results that you mentioned come out hopefully in the next few hours so we're waiting to see you know and then what will happen after that in the next few days people will be scrutinizing those will be studying them to see exactly where they stand what kind of mandate. has been given to serve out the rest of his mandate and where he stands ahead of elections presidential elections in two thousand and nineteen in those elections also expecting to see the former president cristina fernandez the kid who is standing as a congresswoman in the legislative elections today she's hoping that will be a platform to relaunch her presidential bid and that of her party in those elections in two years' time this election campaign though has been somewhat overshadowed by the discovery on tuesday of the body of that missing activist.

why has that become such a big political issue. i think it's because human rights in argentina has continued to be a big issue ever since the end of the military dictatorship here from one thousand nine hundred eighty six to nine hundred eighty three under that dictatorship something like an estimated thirty thousand people were kidnapped tortured killed by the op doris's many questions from that time remain unanswered people continue to campaign for answers there are court cases and whenever somebody disappears or is killed five your thorough it is in argentina in the present day it brings back memories it forces people to ask questions about the all thora to is responsibilities and the governments now mr mark his government is under pressure to answer questions in relation to santiago. how he was killed whether the police.

are responsible if so are they accountable. the body is still being looked at is still being investigated they have been identified we don't yet know whether he was killed whether he was drowned and when those questions are answered people will be looking at them and asking questions of. his government than when osiris thank you . for us back to rebel group has captured syria's largest oil field from i saw the kurdish led syrian democratic forces are in a race against russian backed syrian troops to seize parts of the oil rich terrorism region yes e.-f. have already pushed eisel from the areas main natural gas field and the city of raka after a four month campaign the head of the world health organization has backtracked on his appointment of zimbabwe's president robert mugabe as a goodwill ambassador it follows widespread criticism from international leaders human rights activists and health groups they pointed to allegations of human

rights abuses in zimbabwe president mugabe is also being criticized the going abroad for medical treatment. yes court negatively because i think maybe i would i would just need to court like what one of the outspoken government ministers in prison who got his government professor jonathan moore if you are saying that the for the appointment of prism of garbage they should have said all consulted and made their decision you know or somebody done to rush and appoint him and only to think if you days later that the withdrawing it from him so diplomatically it doesn't look well for the newly appointed look at judgments so you'd want to look well also you know coming from africa i remember in the end of august into september when zimbabwe was that. africa you know the ministers
