people were killed and seven thousand injured in the magnitude seven point three quake iran has declared tuesday a national day of mourning iran's president hassan rouhani has traveled to come onshore province to oversee rescue or so of course who isn't so near the quake's epicenter in northern iraq and obviously devastating pictures behind you to tell us more about the scenario and what's happening there right now. and yes we're in which is the most effected town in northern iraq it is almost four hundred kilometers to the region. in iran when you walk in the streets you don't see anything much you see a few buildings have collapsed but most of the buildings are bad the damage here and the government made a call to people on the night of the earthquake that they shouldn't enter inside

the buildings and the aid agencies humanitarian aid agencies have been providing aid and medicine to here also providing some tents and other equipment also there is another town which is there which is also. impacted by the day by the earthquake and just like about hoping over ago we had the kurdish officials visiting the home to check out the latest that just. people are here what are the conditions of the buildings and for now we see turkish red crescent here active on the field both in. and. providing humanitarian aid also turkey's. disaster and emergency administration management director rate is also here but the town is. quiet for now people are out on the streets as i said and many of the

buildings are damaged a people are trying to stay away from their homes to be safe but the most critical thing here is that about this on them. it was on the risk during the earthquake and yesterday. the manager of the dam egg gave a statement that everything is fine there is no then just with the body if something happened with them all these all those people in these thousand the surrounding areas i must have been evacuated which is a risk like the most of them risk that we had that we have faced more than a year ago ok and again for the people that are still pretty frightened about what might happen what are you hearing about iran and the impact of the quake there because obviously it hits hardest that. yesterday not to leave

it in the saddest part of the story is in iran as you have also said before talking to me. and i. am living in the region and around is trying to work with the rescue teams about there are many people left on the developers this is what we hear and of course as the time as the time passes people lose their hopes about the people who are left on their the rubble whether they're still alive or whether they're going to be so vibing or not it seems the coastal sayers is going to rock going to be a rising as the verse is a rescue teams are still searching for the people people's bodies which are lost it's a bit on the iranian side this is what's we hear from our colleagues that only talk with aware they're. provided by the government is continuing to were there and people are at the the hospital. medical trucks and others.

have been brought to the area but of course this is a little bit quiet compared to iran here that's the most. part of the story. i thank you for that and. more than sixty people have been killed in airstrikes in a rebel held town in northern syria the syrian observatory for human rights says three strikes it's a market in the countryside of. aleppo it's inside one of the so-called deescalation zones which were green between turkey russia and iran. is more from gaza in top near the turkey syria border. according to activists and rescue workers a number of strikes hit this town of in the northern countryside of aleppo province we have seen heightened activity in and around aleppo province in the south we've seen

unlawful measures that violate all the values and norms established not only among friendly countries but also among enemy by nature of the measures taken and the rhetoric and conduct adopted it has become evident that the blockading countries are not aiming for a solution or settlement it all started in june when saudi arabia the u.a.e. bihari and egypt sever diplomatic ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and air blockade they accused qatar of promoting extremism accusations dismissed by the qatari leadership as fabricated lies kuwait and the u.s. are trying to heal the diplomatic where ft but saudi arabia and its allies say the sanctions against qatar will only be lifted when qatar meets a list of thirteen demands including shutting down the al-jazeera media network

japan's fears about a north korean attack he later insulted kim jong un personally in a tweet even suggesting in the same tweet he may someday want to meet the north korean leader visiting china the president took no questions from the press at beijing's request something they always ask of u.s. presidents but are not always granted and well he talked tough on chinese trade it was this remark that got the most attention but after all. who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country. for the benefit of its citizens i give china great credit. indeed many analysts believe china not the united states emerged as an even bigger power following the trip while trump criticized asian trade practices she praised open

markets but he's got a lot of cash that he's throwing around asia and so a lot of countries they are wary but they also are beneficiaries of that cause another problem many presidents in the past have used foreign travel to downplay domestic trouble trump did the opposite he failed to press the issue again of russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election when meeting with russian president vladimir putin every time he sees me he says i didn't do that and i believe i really believe that when he tells me that he means it that prompted widespread criticism forcing trump to clarify his remarks during a press conference i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election as to whether i believe it or not i'm with our agencies in the philippines the trumpet ministrations said it raised the issue of president rod rico to tear tace human rights abuses but that claim was later denied by two terror taste

a rare visit as political tension escalates between the two countries. bashar rah is the first lebanese official to visit the kingdom since prime minister saad hariri unexpectedly announced his resignation there more than a week ago arion says he is free to leave riyadh but lebanese officials believe he's under house arrest the instability sparked fears of a wider conflict with israel paying particularly close attention to a force that reports from western recent israeli troops rehearse another war with hezbollah these exercises the largest in one thousand years took place in september two months on some are wondering whether lebanon's political crisis might set the stage for the real thing this causes or who would in fact have great concerns over the developments in the middle east the fact that the prime minister has fled to another country obviously looked destabilization in lebanon and there were already several areas of instability behind those fears and the extraordinary events of the last ten days which have seen the lebanese prime minister side hariri summoned to

saudi arabia and announce his resignation and the leader of hezbollah accuse the saudis of declaring war the israeli media have been full of speculation about the intentions of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sama on one theory is that he's trying to destabilize lebanon in order to spark a war in which israel would defeat hezbollah and deal a blow to their common enemy iran even if that theory were correct there's little sense among analysts here that israel would at the moment be willing to play along it will certainly be an enormous test at an early stage of the recent warming in relations between saudi arabia and israel. not least because since the last lebanon war in two thousand and six hezbollah as soldiers have been battle hardened in syria and its missile arsenal has swelled in size range and destructive power on the israeli side defense minister avigdor lieberman has repeatedly this year promised that in any future conflict israel would seek a decisive clear victory all of which would risk a largescale conflict eleven years ago just because both sides have incentives not

to go to war doesn't mean they're not going to go to war all it takes is one miscalculation of you know from one side that the other responds to and then there's a response to the response and back and forth and all of a sudden you're fighting a war that you didn't want i really gave a t.v. interview on sunday raising the prospect of his return to lebanon and even to office if he's uneasy partners in power hezbollah stopped intervening in the war in yemen is a sign at least of a potential deescalation in a crisis being watched intently from israel that al-jazeera west jerusalem hundreds of members of the pakistani religious party are blocking the main highway to the capital level what they see as straights to the country's strict blasphemy laws the ruling party set up a firestorm last month when it made changes to an electoral oath which critics view as blasphemous the government has since retreated and apologized but that's not enough for religious groups has come all hiding reports. to government in all
