al jazeera fluent in world news. discover the world of al-jazeera. the best films from across on the network of channel or the like this if i'm allowed to do it but i'm about to be fresh perspectives and new insights. to challenge and change the way we look at the world. thanks al jazeera world but this time on al-jazeera. this is zero.

now that i'm sure they would all this is the news our live from london coming up. the united states strongly backs lebanon's independence and warns other countries against using it in a larger proxy fight in the region. pictures of marshaling the squalid conditions on mine asylum where refugees and i living without fresh water food a power. we are not going to let the united states speak a cute advantage of any more. tough talk from u.s. president donald trump to the apec leaders meeting in vietnam. and i'm far is small with all your sport as researchers at boston university reveal that former new england patriots player aaron hernandez suffered the most severe case x.e. ever discovered in a person his age. a

very warm welcome the news hour the u.s. and france have intervened in lebanon's political crisis calling for stability in the country and saying they backed prime minister saad hariri hariri and iran still is stepping down whilst in riyadh earlier this month claiming interference from iran and its lebanese ally has blocked meanwhile has been as leader has accused aside the arabia of detaining hariri and not allowing him to return home said holder reports the citizens of saudi arabia and its gulf allies visited or living in lebanon are leaving it's not the first time gulf countries tell their citizens it is not safe to stay lebanon has long been in tangled in the saudi iranian power struggle across the region but the latest warning heightened tensions after the resignation of lebanon's prime minister saad howdy but alongside the tensions there are growing signs. of lebanese unity in what many see as saudi interference in their country saturday his resignation was sudden raising concerns about the

circumstances behind the decision there is also concern about how to ease freedom of movement he may have been seen since he made the announcement in riyadh but the prime minister hasn't made any more statements lebanon's president michel aoun believes how he is under house arrest he told saudi arabia the fear in beirut bihari that the circumstances of the resignation are an acceptable and how d.d. should return immediately. how did his own political party made a similar to mt they didn't just suggest the prime minister is being held against his will but expressed concern that lebanon's suddenly community could be marginalized even further. from this and from charges and disappoint. as controlling their government and controlling their festival on the other hand they are concerned about. how do you.

so this is why yesterday. to. how do you really should be a priority lebanon is a deeply divided country there is a pro saudi camp led by her which has long accused has been law of imposing iran's agenda here there is a pro iran camp led by hezbollah which has long resisted demands to disarm and to withdraw its troops fighting alongside the syrian government but even has below has added its voice to demands for how to be to return to the belief that the prime minister is being held against his will when i know not. all the lebanese take this as an offense and any offense to the lebanese prime minister as an offense to all the lebanese even if he is our political outbursts are. hezbollah secretary general has an astrolabe was careful to avoid political escalation instead he accused saudi arabia of wanting to impose

a new leadership in lebanon and start a war he called on the lebanese to avoid provocation and to stay away from the streets the political divide hasn't gone away but for now at least politicians are putting it aside there is a rare consensus for the need to unite at what many describe as dangerous times. beirut. let's go to our state department correspondent passing hi there patty so some strong words then from to listen. very very strong words as far as diplomatic tone and tenor these statements are usually fairly bland this one quite blunt secretary of state rex tillerson saying that all parties within and outside of lebanon need to respect the integrity and independence of not only the government but the armed forces and he specifically talked about the prime minister saying he is respected friend and ally of the united states of sending the message they support him he's actually said if hariri wants to step down he needs to go

back to lebanon to make it official to do it in his own country then the statement goes on to say that there is no world for foreign forces inside lebanon and even stronger says it should not be used as a proxy war for people outside of lebanon so very clearly sending a message to saudi arabia now the interesting questions going to be does his boss donald trump the u.s. president back him up on this we have seen since president trump took that visit to riyadh for that summit that he has sided with saudi and pretty much all of their moves from the blockade of cutter to saying when he rounded up those princes and those ministers that they basically believed in what he was doing so does that extend to lebanon that it's been the big question we haven't heard directly from the president on that but his secretary of state is sending the message that no it does not and patsy will this be radiating as a reprimand for saudi arabia. i think it is clearly sending

a message to saudi arabia and we've seen this from the secretary of state speaking to reporters that are traveling with him in asia on his plane he was asked about the a round up of those princes and the ministers and he talked about how these are very powerful well known people and he said he spoke with the saudi foreign minister and that these were not being characterized as arrests he said right now what the he believes is they're just sort of gathering information they're going to make it public and in his words the people who are being targeted will then have an opportunity to in his words make things right so said they'd a message to saudi that they do not want to see any destabilizing action and that has been basically what establishment washington through all administrations have believed they need to see from their critical ally saudi arabia was some sort of stability we've seen a much more aggressive tone though with president trump especially when it comes to tackling iran so the big question is going to be when the president wakes up does

he basically dispute what his secretary of state has to say we've seen him do that before especially when it comes to the moves of saudi arabia but is secretary of state tillerson as of now sending the u.s. policy that saudi arabia needs to stay out of lebanon that's a cool hand there live from washington d.c. patty thank you. well for more on this story i'm joined now by paul salem he said near vice president of the middle east institute in washington d.c. paul a very warm welcome to the program i guess the big question everybody has here is what's on our earth is going on in saudi arabia is sat there really being held against his will his people say he isn't. well we don't have i guess conclusive evidence one way or another but it does seem from what most of his people in beirut are saying that he seems to be being held against his will the resignation was not something apparently that he was thinking about or intended

to do he seems to have been forced to do that and is not really been able to communicate with even with his closest advisers the resignation came at the on that very same weekend when this massive purge inside saudi arabia took place and we have to member mr assad how d.d. is also a saudi citizen with large business interests and debts both he is owed by the saudi government and he has court cases in saudi courts on business and labor issues so his resignation or forced resignation might have been part of this dynamic of the internal purge inside saudi arabia and it has repercussions on lebanon but it might have been domestically driven and pull we've got a situation where iran kuwait the train and the u.a.e. are advising sissons to leave lebanon do you think that's creating more fear in tension then perhaps necessary at this stage as you point out where we don't have

evidence for the real story behind this. it certainly raises the tensions but as year report indicated inside the country this crisis has brought lebanese parties and politicians and communities i would say at least temporarily closer together the evacuation of g.c.c. citizens or some of them this is not the first time that it happens what's more important is what happens next if saudi arabia and some g.c.c. countries choose to economically boycott lebanon as they did with qatar while cut that it could survive that lebanese lebanon's economy probably could not there are tens of thousands of lebanese working in saudi arabia and other gulf countries the lebanese economy is already very precarious and if there were to be economic sanctions or some kind of boycott or expulsion of lebanese working in some of these

countries that lebanese economy would collapse the national currency might go into a freefall and we would have at least eight economic and political crisis on our hands now if the evacuation is a preview to some security event. that would also be worrisome in its own right puzzling that joining me live from washington d.c. sir thank you. thank you come on this al-jazeera news hour. arjan warning is set for help to end the blockade in yemen as millions of people face starvation. by sudan's shipping industry is still struggling despite the lifting of devastating sanctions. on the washington was a source revenge against the l.a. lakers and the n.b.a. find out how they did with the far right a little later in school. the

a process that can't be reversed when he has more now from vietnam. often the most memorable event at an apec summit is the leader's photo opportunity at the garland dinner at this year's traditional costume chosen by the host vietnam was fairly low key that was in contrast to the days earlier events that included a speech by u.s. president donald trump he went straight on the offensive seeming to attack china's trade policies without specifically mentioning china they engaged in product dumping subsidized goods currency manipulation and predatory industrial powers they ignored the rules to gain advantage over those who followed the rules causing enormous distortions in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade itself trump has vowed to correct some of the

trade deficits the united states has built up particularly in asia but the america first policy that he campaigned on ahead of last year's election is seen as protectionist it runs counter to the multilateral globalist approach of most other apec nations including china. president xi jinping spoke soon after trump and painted china as a champion of globalization. openness brings progress while seclusion leaves one behind we the ocean pacific economies know this too well from our own development experience we should put in place a regional cooperation framework that ensures consultation among equals with participation and shared benefits. that's what the trans-pacific partnership trade deal is supposed to achieve it doesn't include china or the united states after donald trump withdrew the remaining eleven members are hoping to come to some sort of agreement during a pick but a planned leaders' meeting to sign off on a provisional agreement didn't happen when she joined on friday because of last

minute objections by canada. deborah helms has been involved in negotiations in the past and says if a deal isn't reached in vietnam the whole thing could be in jeopardy as we've just seen in the last few weeks with the change of government in new zealand new demands on the agreement the canadians have had a government change not quite so recently but that's part of what's driving the problems in t.v. now every day that you wait is a day in which the whole thing could fall over less the united states of america if it survives members quietly hope the united states will eventually rejoin but under president trump that's unlikely wayne hey al jazeera vietnam. when mars defacto leader aung sang suu kyi she is also in vietnam where she's expected to come under pressure from leaders at the summit over the ranger refugee crisis canadian prime minister justin trudeau is expected to urge city to end the violence against the range of community living in me and mars northern rock kinds state sochi

forgive those who did this to us my husband was killed with lots of others. i tried to calm my heart by telling myself that it was an order from allah only our luck can forgive them i don't have any control over that. syrian children and eastern go to facing acute malnutrition as government forces continued bombing the rebel held province to say medical supplies are running out and the un is warning that the area faces complete catastrophe four hundred thousand civilians living in a single to have been under siege by the syrian government since september a deliveries have been blocked hundreds of thousands of people need urgent medical evacuation said he led coalition fighting hutu rebels in yemen has reopened a land border crossing party easing a blockade imposed on the country earlier this week the un's warning that yemen stocks of feelin vaccines were won out in about a month if other ports stay shot and no humanitarian aid is allowed in how to hoax

or has more. it's difficult to understand that this is what humans can do to each other. millions of people who face famine and are in desperate need of urgent humanitarian assistance. now the u.s. has backed aid agencies in calling for more to be done to alleviate the situation we've seen tremendous few food shortages in yemen we've talked about how this is really a manmade situation there the announcement that the ports were being closed down or limited in terms of some of the supplies is an area that's of concern to us because the yemeni people are not the ones at fault for their situation we would like to see food aid medical equipment and all of that be able to brought be brought in to the ports saudi arabia has stepped up a land and sea blockade on yemen after a ballistic missile was far towards the capital riyadh on saturday. before the

blockade more than twenty million people without sleep or two thirds of the population needed humanitarian assistance now nearly hoffer like completely on food aid to survive. the country is experiencing a cholera epidemic which is expected to affect one million people by the end of the year aid agencies say they're struggling to work inside the country it takes from from one town to another we have to almost go through one hundred checkpoints and this is a man made disaster and there is no humanitarian solution to this we're asking for parties to come together to find a solution desperately which is desperately needed for the people of yemen it's becoming increasingly difficult for people to get their hands on vital commodities with prices of petrol cooking or rising by as much as fifty percent in a week. and so far as closing down the ports and borders these are war crimes in the first degree the longer yemen sit empty the longer the suffering will continue

clothes for people to design and customise now the ships have to stop at other ports the goods are unloaded there and then when shipped here that has increased the cost of shipping so now i've been forced to close my business. as i am isn't alone the port is the country's logistic hub and gateway to the arabian gulf it exports not just from sudan but also from landlocked neighboring countries like judd and south sudan all the ships at the port are now foreign but it wasn't long ago that sudan had its own fleet of fifteen ships which transported goods and passengers but one thing happened that slowly killed the industry until last month the u.s. had imposed economic and trade sanctions on sudan it meant the government couldn't maintain its own fleet of ships and had to tell them to cut its losses the last almost sold almost a year and a half before the sanctions were lifted the sanctions came into force in one thousand nine hundred seven when the us accused the then of human rights abuses and sponsoring terror it was designed to hurt the sudanese economy and so it did and

all but destroyed the shipping industry to news authorities say with the sanctions lifted they'll try to rebuild their fleet but it won't be easy on the target for years off the building ships takes a lot of time making one from scratch takes at least two years so we don't expect it to happen in the near future only after quite a while will sudan's shipping fleet gain its strength the port is becoming more active though hopefully by next year we will have more development in the industry analysts say the government should focus on modernization. of course lifting the sanctions gives us a chance for the government to bring in new technologies to make the port and its industry able to provide better services for now but won't help the economy maybe in two or three years it will especially through transit services for the neighboring landlocked countries. has and knows his days of bringing in goods by sea are over but he hopes with a new post sanctions era the younger generation could export trade beyond the

millions of children who were saved under malaria prevention program are now at risk of contracting the disease because of a lack of funding sees no malaria chemo prevention or s.m.c. was a scheme which provided children with anti malarial drugs during the rainy season the charity malaria consortium says it's helped save forty thousand lives and prevented six million cases mainly across africa it costs three dollars forty a year per child but the group says money is running out leaving thirty four million children at risk of being exposed to malaria well as the night to james said to been the run of the technical director for the malaria consortium james a very warm welcome to the program lovely to have you with us so james just tell me how you got involved with the program and what it was designed to achieve. the program stem from research that had shown that s m c c no it says in america more

prevention was very effective and in malaria consortium we were looking for the opportunity to scale it up because there were twenty five million children who could benefit from the intervention and very few of those were being targeted through research so we designed a project and submitted out an application to unity who fortunately enough selected us and we participated in a multi country project in seven countries with five organizations and extended as sim c. to cover at least on average i would say about three to six million children between twenty fifteen twenty sixteen and in total we've managed to save about forty thousand kids from dying that's amazing ajay why does it work so well this this post yes it works so well because treatment is something which is. accepted

by populations and a treatment given at the exact point just before children are likely to fall sick and prevents them from falling sick is so effective and the research has shown that and we have shown you did scale and i think. i think it's credit to the researchers who managed to prove this in addition the drug is highly effective it's a combination of two drugs one is called so for dioxin pyre meth amine which is a combination and with a queen and they're used in areas where both drugs do not have high resistance what would you like to see happen next i mean this is about funding ultimately isn't it how much support have you got to continue the program as it's well the project was designed as a catalytic project i.e. to improve access to get rid of some of the barriers which we have managed to and to transition to other streams of funding like the global fund like the world bank

but importantly to government funding so the project comes to an end in february twenty eighth mean i think the critical thing is that the funding has to come of the right time for example if the funding doesn't come between now and probably january it would be too late to be able to order the drugs in time for the rainy season that starts in july in the sahara region so if the money for example came on board in july or august it would be too late because you need a lead time to order the medicines to put the plans in place and to get the medicines to the villages where they should be distributed so i think it's critical that the funding needs to come in time for the drugs to be made available governments need to put in as much as they can other organizations like the global fund like the world bank like the african development bank islamic development bank need to put the money in at the right time so this will work but only in some

countries just explain why because it only works where malaria transmission is about four months of the the calendar year and in an environment where sixty percent of malaria occurs during those four months and as i mentioned the two drugs need to be efficacious. i effective in that setting and the area that has been defined by the show is the sahara region in sub-saharan africa james thank you so much for joining us and best of luck with your project. now that you use chief breaks it negotiator has given the u.k. a two week ultimatum to make concessions on a divorce agreement of talks are to proceed to the next round and siobhan a says it's vital for the u.k. to increase its offer of an exit bill which some officials say could be as much as seventy billion dollars peter sharp reports. time does appear to be running out for the british bracks negotiators as the representative field in this question at the

end of the second day of talks in brussels. to confirm for me that you will need clarifications or concessions whichever you prefer from the u.k. within two weeks in order to move on to the second phase in december my boss a week my response says michel barnier is yes in december either leaders in brussels will decide whether sufficient progress has been made of the two sides or to move on to discuss important future trade deals we remain ready and willing to engage as often and as quickly as needed to secure this outcome over the weeks remaining ahead of the december european council. the united kingdom will continue to engage and negotiate constructively as we've done since the start but to the prime minister's exasperate the former british ambassador to the e.u. left open the possibility of leaving breck's it altogether it's not inconceivable

they exist in the service of a mentality of fear that affects not only the parties in conflict but the entire human race. listens to this mentality has led to tension on the korean peninsula and worrying rhetoric between washington and pyongyang this is the first major international gathering since the un approved a treaty banning all nuclear weapons or excellence of the vice president over fifty countries signed the treaty in september but the nine nations with a nuclear arsenal and all nato members boycotted the talks in a debate nato deputy secretary general defended their position the treaty risks undermining years of steady progress under the nonproliferation treaty. importantly the ban treaty disregards the security conditions and nuclear challenges that we face most prominently today the emergence of nuclear weapons and long range missiles in north korea without the participation of nuclear nations in the

treaty some say disarmament might be a pipe dream but others say it's comparable to when chemical and biological weapons were banned that was a crucial first step in making those arsenals and legal in discussions like these are not the way of cranking up the pressure on those countries some speakers believe that it's up to the public to demand an end to nuclear weapons it's insane and everybody is saying insane but government are not listening and again with that the chronology we have with social network with every every ability we have right now we just have to tell government shape up or get out. what they're calling for is a new more equitable global security system perhaps utopian and unrealistic for some but the alternative is to reflect to imagine. how does there. now amid hong kong soaring skyscrapers one tiny village has held on to its traditions it's home to the territories last digit us residents and for now they've managed to
