a severe case of money attrition at the better to a local clinic doctors trying to save her but it was too late and on sunday. died. yes this is our fifty round of c. each basic health and nutrition services we are facing many cases of among the truth we are understaffed but our biggest problem is that we can't get medicine and nutrition to save the children seven month old hussein is another facing mandatory . week and started to he has developed many serious health conditions and needs immediate treatment but doctors and charities are struggling to get him the right food and medicines if aid is delayed many like her saying may not live very much longer. so that is the how to lead we have serious cases here life threatening you know many children are suffering from malnutrition. panicking parents are rushing

to the few hospitals still operating in east and. when they get there the fire and hospital staff struggling to cope and it's not only the children who are affected most pregnant women. are also under nourished and could face life threatening complications international aid organizations have been asking for free and continued access to mislead areas like is that something the syrian government would jacked saying those areas are not safe and although the u.n. and many countries have accused the government of starving people into submission no steps have been taken to under siege which is whitening the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. international donors in geneva placed two hundred thirty four million dollars to

help the ranger refugee crisis brings the total amount of money committed to three hundred forty million which is still short of the un's appeal for four hundred thirty four million dollars the u.n. says the money is needed to provide lifesaving aid to the one point two million refugees who fled violence in myanmar from bangladesh bangladesh officials say the refugee situation is becoming untenable as thousands of range of muslims cross the border every day tandi chaldee has more from cox's bazar in bangladesh things are considerably improving the refugee camps since the big late august when things were very chaotic it was the host community who were the first responders then presence of a lot of aid agencies and this comes. on a field hospital sanitation and water facilities as well now despite all the good effort led by the aid agencies and bring with us government a lot of the basic and essential needs in this camps are still not been met we

decided to talk to someone not knowing i refuges here asks them if they know about the conference most of them have no idea about the conference but they're said the food they're getting is not adequate there are nearly six hundred thousand new rohingya refugees in bangladesh according to a new u.n. now most of them are woman children and infant at least sixty percent of them are children the aid agencies and then of those government needs to have a long term strategy a sustainable strategy for the better living conditions schooling as well as health and security we know that most of these refugees are not going back to me on my dreadful about what is going on there any time soon unless there is a long term strategy many of them will suffer in the camps we have seen come from earlier years haven't improved much. u.s. secretary of state has made a surprise trip to afghanistan after visiting saudi arabia and casler on sunday rice to listen that president musharraf's ghani and the chief executive of the

background at base he says the u.s. is committed to keeping its presence in the country until it's more stable let's go live now to patty call hang who is in die hard and i passed it was a quick visit did anything and much from it well not really i think one of the most surprising things was that they were able to pull it off what they had done is told all the reporters who are here in doha off the record you can't say anything but he's going to baghdad then we couldn't find up and the one of their process the price of being a cabinet secretary or president i'd states is pretty much the media a small group of us anyway always know where you are we didn't know where he was from the time he left here around five in the morning to the time he returned just after three he spent about an hour and fifteen hour and twenty minutes with those two leaders for the afghanistan we didn't hear from the afghan leaders but we did hear from rex tillerson afterwards where he sort of sending mixed messages let's listen to what he had to say the president made it clear that you know we're here

to stay until we can secure a process of reconciliation. it's not an unlimited commitment he's also made it clear it's not a blank check commitment that's why there's a conditions based commitment but i think if if you consider the current situation in afghanistan and we were talking about this a few minutes ago and you look a few years in the past what circumstances were afghanistan has come quite a distance already in terms of creating a much more vibrant. population a much more vibrant government. so the bottom line if you can read between the lines or he says the u.s. is here to stay with conditions or else basically will will help or else if you don't do what we want sending that message to the afghan leaders in person this is becoming quite a full stop trip for the secretary of state first as you mentioned saudi arabia that here in doha now to afghanistan back to doha next up well i guess we'll just

have to wait and see right busy time for him thanks very much patty call hane following it all from doha so much want to tell you about on the program still. i'm not angry with my mother i think she did what she could. she was young when she married. a child bride story of what to run away from home. government for a failed revolution. welcome back the weather across much of central southern china and taiwan is looking dry and fine at the moment so nice day in hong kong twenty seven is a mix of it's dry in northern vietnam certainly noise should see some sunshine

further towards the west we've got showers affecting laos and me a mild one in yang gone into wednesday those showers begin to decrease in frequency there are still some heavy ones around but those more eastern areas looking dry and fine taipei sunshine and twenty five degrees so move across into south asia the monsoon is now retreating away quite sharply we've still got some heavy showers affecting parts of the south as you can see there and that's where we're still going to see more showers across an article and down toward shore lanka but central northern areas all looking dry and fine temperatures in delhi suspected to reach thirty two degrees so the humidity will increase perhaps a little bit in the coming days finding crotch in pakistan highs of thirty three across into the arabian peninsula it's fine here in doha the humidity still falling way temperatures not quite as high as they have been very pleasant nice day in abu dhabi two with a high of thirty three on the other side the potential paths little bit lifted dust

otherwise sunshine in mecca and highs here of thirty eight degrees. on counting the cost john to chew point zero zero how president xi jinping wants to reboot the economy with a high end robotics look at what i do it all makes is causing tension along the river plus the u.k.'s few divorce is gregg's it failing counting the cost at this time on a zero. zero zero zero this is the opportunity to understand the very different way we're there before something happens and we don't believe that.

i come back you're watching our jazeera a quick recap of the stories making headlines this hour i still has been accused of carrying out a massacre in the syrian town about perry attain witnesses say the on group conducted a revenge campaign in the town killing more than one hundred people before its capture by government forces. international community has pledged three hundred forty million dollars to help arrange refugees during a conference in geneva nearly six hundred thousand refugees have fled violence in myanmar from bangladesh since august twenty fifth. and the u.s. secretary of state has met afghan leaders on a revisit to on a brief visit to kabul rex tillerson held talks with president ashraf ghani on american involvement in the country. heads of government religious leaders and child rights organizations are meeting in senegal to discuss ending child marriage and west and central africa and the list of the top ten offending

countries six are from the regions almost two million under-age girls are married there every year and share is at the top of this list with seventy six percent of girls who tie the knot before their eighteen globally seven hundred million women were married as children age groups fear that figure could go up to one point two billion by two thousand and fifty nicholas haq reports now from the region of phatic in senegal and there was twelve years old when her mother asked her to marry a man as old as her father she ran away from school and hid in the village where her mother insisted on the wedding. ceremony was arranged and then they became pregnant before she ran away after abandoning her child to the thirteen year old worked as a prostitute. pregnant again she is now in hiding in a safe house in the capital. i'm not angry with my mother i mean she did

what she could my dad beat her she was young too when she married my mother was just doing what's best for me. young girls marrying old men is the norm here twenty thousand underage girls marry every day mostly in south asia and rural west africa says the world bank and save the children under age weddings are often organized by parents in the village when they grew up boys are seen as contribution to the family by farming or working. girls do the same but they are seen as an extra mouth to feed and so few get to finish school instead they marry and become pregnant early hoping to give birth to a boy not year olds yet. so this is an days home she hasn't been back here for years just a few months ago she called her mother for the first time to tell her that she's sounding well but she didn't tell her her whereabouts so i'm going to. let mad then

they ask for in days mother. so i went there she is. but tells me she's ashamed for what her daughter did for coombe but it's better to be married early rather than to deal with the shame of an accidental pregnancy. ritual little and i don't regret it i manage safety by marrying her off. but the pain of losing her daughter is evident. of course i miss my daughter she says i want her back. and they misses her too but she's not ready to return home. if she gives birth to a girl she'll call her after her mother she promises to guide her and help her choose the right husband if it's a boy he'll be free to choose whoever he wants to marry. for and day life for girls is harder and unforgiving. nicholas hawke al-jazeera good to ice and

a go. iraq's prime minister has rebuffed to demand by the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson the iranian backed fighters quote to go home a body says the popular mobilization of forces which have helped baghdad defeat i still consists solely of iraqi nationals who are fighting to defend the country to us and made the comments on sunday off to holding talks with a body and saudi leaders in riyadh well iran's foreign minister has waded into the debate mohammad javad zarif has tweeted exactly what country is it that iraqis who rose up to defend their homes against i still return to he says it's shameful u.s. foreign policy is dictated by petro dollars well stephanie decker is in erbil in northern iraq and joins us live now clearly the situation is more complex than the comments from to listen in the tweet by jove odds are he suggests a what more are you hearing about this where you are. well it was confusing

when state right susan first said it because he referred to iranian militias and foreign fighters and even journalists who were listening to that also for clarification of two is because what we're talking about here were people's thought are iranian backed militias the hostile shabby the popular mobilization forces who are iraqi they are iranian backed but that is the back and forth as you just mentioned about reaction from the iraqi prime minister's media office saying you know parties should be interfering in internal affairs and iran's foreign minister he tweeted but he also more specifically said things like iran is fighting for peace and stability in the region if it weren't for iran's help i still would now be in damascus in baghdad and here in erbil so i think we'll have to wait and see how this plays out but just briefly the background to that the popular mobilization forces the shia militia were formed under that umbrella in two thousand and fourteen to fight eisel so this is what to rex tillerson is referring to he said

now that i salute largely. disbanded or pushed out of their territory it is time for them to go home or be integrated under the iraqi army. it's just perhaps it's so recent. i still has lost its territory and the government in baghdad is very much has the upper hand but i suppose they are still very much in need of u.s. support could this become a problem for them if tensions continue to develop with washington. so i think the americans have pretty good relations with they've been fighting a very close fight together over the last three years pushing nice allowed together with iraqi army and of course these particular shia militia the problem is you don't have shifting sands here everyone all these fighters the army you've got the kurds about the shia militias you've got the iraqi army are all sort of focusing on the next issue which we've seen unfold here over the last week in the main issue

that if you talk to the kurds here in erbil will be that the shia militia. who were armed by the u.s. to fight were part of turning the guns on the peshmerga to push them out of just it's complicated but i think at the moment when they take it as a call because as we know with politics what is said what is done is always the same thing stephanie deck an air bill thank you. the russian foreign minister has won iraq's kurdish autonomous region that it could only pursue its desire for secession through dialogue with baghdad iraqi forces with iraqi forces now in control of cook province the country's interior minister is calling on the kurds left the region during last week's takeover to return home. and. communication between baghdad and erbil has not been severed we are not living in two states it is only one still we could have different views but talks are under way and yes you can be resolved there is no issue that is beyond resolution.
