saudi arabia has announced that aid is going to be allowed in but only to places that are controlled by its military coalition aid is not going to be allowed to ports and airports which are under who think control the problem with that is that eighty percent of yemen's food normally comes in through the data port and that is under who think control with regard to the u.n. their statements on this are very careful because of the political sensitivity but if you read between the lines what they're saying is this is too little too late and the ports that we need access to or the ones where the humanitarian needs are the greatest and that includes data and salif. sea ports. obviously we welcome the opening of other other ports but those are the ones that we need later in the same room saudi arabia's ambassador flanked by the ambassador of yemen and the deputy ambassador of the united arab emirates took questions from reporters

they were asked why they were planning to lift the blockade selectively doesn't this lay you open to accusations of using starvation as a weapon of war no no far from it we are we are saying that we have had to take measures to control the safety and security of our country and we have taken these measures on a temporary basis and for a short and limited period of time we are lifting the siege in the areas where there is no threat of smuggling we are taking steps to improve the verification mechanism in the other areas and in the meantime we have not stopped the supply of humanitarian aid to all of you haven't from saudi arabia and from from elsewhere the saudi ambassador denied reports that the president of yemen president had he was under house arrest in saudi arabia it's perhaps remarkable that moments later he was asked exactly the same question about saad hariri the prime minister of lebanon who resigned in riyadh last week and he was still in saudi arabia.

meanwhile thousands of tons of aid meant for yemen is stranded in djibouti from where al jazeera is mom of the drone i reports. aid for yemen is loaded onto a ship in djibouti humanitarian agencies say they in a race to respond. slauson solve tons of food and medical supplies distin for human stranded in port the pro-government so delayed miniature coalition which is fighting hole through a bull's eye has imposed a blockade on ports in yemen now says it's easing some of the restrictions. we're working day and night we operate three eight hour shifts a day we want to be ready to move as soon as we get the go ahead of. him i didn't see it is you are transported from djibouti by and by sea is small. but due to the huge backlog created by the blockade this is having to use much bigger vessels this

particular consignment consist of medical supplies for the call and response. on water purification tablets as well as food for human children enter this is saying any further delay in the delivery of this aid could lead to the loss of lives aid workers say yemen's talks of fuel and drugs in school drawn out soon that is a tragedy unfolding and children are the silent weak timms since the current blockade the humanitarian community has been unable to bring in the essential food nutrition and medical supplies including vaccines that are one million children at risk of diseases such as polio measles and to pedia if the essential vaccines are not brought in urgently. position between the gulf of aden and the red sea

resources of the south china sea and try to accommodate those and also the relationship with the biggest claimants to the resources of the south china sea china itself the philippines for example has in recent times taken a far more pragmatic approach talking about jointly developing the resources of the south china sea rather than trying to forcefully stake its claim against china's claims yet now on the other hand is far more robust in dealing with china though it seems those claims will still exist whether or not there is in place a code of conduct to try to sort out these differences. meanwhile and to try and protesters rallying in manila as the u.s. president wraps up his asia trip these are live pictures coming from the philippines capital on monday riot police use water cannon and sonic alarms to disperse hundreds of protesters demanding trumbull go home they're angry he failed to condemn philippine president were to go to ted his so-called war on drugs which

and this will chase us forever it's incredible delusion even now we're struggling to realize well i don't pick up because i present at fox sports australia he says there's a number of problems preventing younger players getting into italy's top teams. watching the game it was just that i became bereft of ideas towards the end i just ended up resorting to the lumping up in the swedes the back four for sweden which just made the wire that i defended what i had to defend was incredible and i would deserving of going through we've seen the pictures of then celebrating with the where dish tell you a mob and crushing the desk of the guy and our fantastic sense from their point of view for italy there's a whole heap of also searching going on and a few of my might live around me here in sydney are just in a state of shock pure shock because not only their fathers not only died i don't know of italy being in a world cup their fathers as well that's how long it goes back when you look at antonia concert and he did so well with the score that he had in not that long ago before he moved to chelsea. venture of the new boss bicycle left at the same crop

of a few younger ones coming through but i think there's a a a glut of problems that professional level for young players in italy and they're not getting the chances that perhaps the development believes that they should have in terms of the quality of the development that produced some great players but it's just that finishing touches that they don't get between the ages of saying it sixteen and twenty that seems to be the problem and it's created this this generation that hasn't quite got it when it comes to the big moments and that's not the south think there's some adjustments going on in italian football moments in the younger riders that will say that something like this doesn't happen of course we'll have to wait and see to see if it doesn't happen but steps are implies. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back. a hero's welcome for the french president i want to paris is struggling suburbs but critics say he's anything but. a more open border how a reform minded respect leader has boosted ties between two mistrustful central

asian neighbors more stable. from the waves in the south. to the contours of the east. just around the quake zone in iran we are going to say a little more cloud just rolling in here but thankfully we shouldn't see any wet weather in typically temperatures getting up into the low twenty's by day somewhere so weather over towards afghanistan towards northern parts of pakistan that should help to clear the pollution the fog the smoke that we have seen it in northern parts of pakistan well in areas of india cool to come back in behind couple of degrees celsius. for baghdad there will be more sunshine coming through the sunshine stretching across the eastern side of the mediterranean plenty of sunshine to across they arabian peninsula but

a woman here and around thirty one celsius which is easing off think we should have too much more in the why of problems with if it dust and sand at least as we go on into the second half of this week thankfully. continuing pretty much everywhere than that it is sunshine into western parts of south africa. pushing up towards central i was amazed and bake. some really heavy rain you know just around the east and for the middle part of the way the possibility of some flooding showers meanwhile they continue across central parts of africa to the west . there with sponsored by qatar. oh is it when they're on line we were in hurricane winds for almost like thirty six hours these are the things that has to address or if you join us on set. but. this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile a.j.

there is now sufficient grounds for a resolution to really challenge has the latest from. this was a curious sort of press conference in the topics which we had been led to believe was going to be the main discussion point here syria was actually talked about very little when the two men came out to meet the press afterwards of course they did discuss syria in the press conference so we can hear some of what putin had to say about it here now when you. of course we discussed the syrian issues in the background of the success of course you terrorism we decided we need to coordinate our efforts to ensure long term certainly to the situation we need to promote the process of a political outcome. the president the joint communique was approved to ensure the integrity and sovereignty of the country in syria person also pointed to the asked on a process and its deescalation zones co-sponsored by russia turkey and iran as being

responsible for a marked decrease in violence he wants to keep that going and also say that he should meet as often as they possibly can but mostly this press conference dealt with trade before the incident two years ago where turkey shot a russian war plane out of the sky over the turkey syria border these two countries have had a very productive trade relationship that was completely shattered by that incident and over the last few months they have been working towards getting that back on track again russia has been lifting the embargo put in place and getting frozen infrastructure projects like energy pipelines and nuclear reactors bringing those out of the chiller and getting them moving again we haven't quite got there yet they said in this press conference but the relationship is almost back to where
