a shot just taken by iran the head of iran's revolutionary guard says that slander . iran and saudi arabia are backing opposite sides in the more than two and a half year war in yemen iran is accused of arming the who thiis it denies that the saudis are leading a coalition fight supporting yemen's internationally backed government there offering a thirty million dollars bounty for those who feel leader abdul malik al who three and rewards for thirty nine others a coalition spokesman is urging the u.n. to punish iran saying it's violating international laws with about five thousand people killed and its worst cholera outbreak it seems there's no end in sight to the war in yemen natasha going to al-jazeera. well the united nations says it's worry the saudi closure of land and sea access to yemen could hamper humanitarian
10:10 pm
efforts let's go live to algiers there is diplomatic editor james bays at the u.n. already a great deal of concern about a deepening humanitarian crisis in the country what is the u.n. saying about the now tighter controls over yemen's border boarders as you say there's been concern over the amount of aid of medical supplies and food let into the country for some considerable time but it appears now that humanitarian aid and aid workers are not able to get in because of this new blockade that has been announced by saudi arabia we learned from the u.n. they have two flights that were supposed to go into yemen bream aid workers in the last few hours and those flights were unable to take off they were not given the necessary permissions by saudi arabia and the un's deputy spokesman for harm harks says he's concerned we do take note of the fourth of november statement
10:11 pm
by the saudi ministry of defense that a ballistic missile was intercepted over northeast riyadh and that the who these have claimed responsibility for firing the missile from yemen where where the sharp increase in air strikes by the saudi led coalition on the same day we would like also to express concern about the announcement by the saudi led coalition that is temporary temporarily closing all of yemen's air land and sea ports this may hamper the delivery of humanitarian aid to the country's population we call for a strained on all sides and reiterate that military escalation is not the solution we urge all parties to bide by their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure against attack. well the u.n. is saying it is hopeful that it's a can resume soon but when you ask them why they say simply the fact that saudi arabia said that this was a temporary block a they know the damage even

a phase out of coal it's quite simple this goal cannot be achieved but some believe germany's climate promises were too ambitious a transition away from coal must be done slowly and cautiously. need to bear in mind that we cannot stop our industrial and economic life just to save carbon dioxide they will need to bear a justing of goals or a realistic one option is to replace all power plants with new ones to reduce emissions. meanwhile the threats of thousands of job losses has not encouraged germany's politicians to commit to ditching coal but that could change soon i think that merkel may have won the last election but she's in negotiations with the green party to help to form a government and the green party have to munns problem is the old government because they couldn't decide whether they go hundred percent renewables or not put a ceiling on new renewable power plants and if you lift the ceiling again there's
