a losing most of the team in a plane crash the club gets to win it needs to stay in brazil's top division. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe has made his first public appearance since he was put under house arrest by the military on wednesday pressure is mounting on the ninety three year old to step aside with his closest allies now turning against him and his own party calling for him to resign. reports from the capital harare. calls for president robert mugabe to step down are growing louder he was seen for the first time in public on friday days after the army seized control and confined him to private residence in harare the people who helped him stay in power for nearly forty years the war veterans have called for an anti mugabe rally on saturday because of this who did it would be an economic management in the plunder

you. would. use wave would become in prison reform if you didn't. it's a problem people. don't want to be responsible for. but what you assume is listen to their message when we want to. organize the money movement the war veterans are important in the country's power structure this is a leader and his wife grace have gone to the firing of former vice president. and his supporters and get them there making it clear grace and affection called g forty in the rulings on it or never be in power the first lady was at the graduation ceremony will be kept thousands of graduates if the plan is to carefully manage president it's a. transition of power in the process. has led zimbabwe since one thousand nine

hundred eighty people are still stunned the army stepped in. right now just to make sure that. we could live in concert you know. when the president mugabe. step down in a dignified way for him to step down much. away that he's not destructive the way that he is not because of the. southern african leaders plan to hold an emergency summit on zimbabwe for now one thing is clear the ninety three year old mugabe is losing friends the war veterans who put him in power are now the ones who want to gone. along skimmer is as a broadcaster based here in the u.k. his support is dwindling fast and he could face an impingement vote if he refuses to step down. i think i'm got pillars of support are dwindling as there's been

pointed out by by many people this military coup has actually been more peaceful than elections in zimbabwe so this basically is generating the euphoria that you are seeing there is a lot of nervous excitement people are warming up to the army they're looking at them as heroes we've seen one as president in karma. doing mugabe to step down i think mugabe is lost in all of this he's fully aware that the army needs him. or the successor so he's holding onto this card we were told the negotiations were centering around him being given safe passage and immunity but i think the latest as you can see from the reports is that he's insisting on finishing his term in office so i think those strategizing this military coup in a sense are now looking at the party route trying to have him removed as leader of

zanu p.f. and this talk that they might actually have him impeached as early as tuesday so basically it's a mexican standoff it's a matter of who blinks first but i our sources are telling us the generals are not backing down and if refuses a graceful exit they will obviously humiliate him through an impeachment process and we all know people in the opposition and even within zanu p.f. are fed up of mugabe so there would be a lot of support for any process in parliament. amnesty international first three people are being killed in kenya when police clashed with supporters of opposition leader. at least use tear gas and water cannon to break up large crowds cheering reading of convoy from the airport to central nairobi he returned from a ten day trip to the united states on monday the supreme court will rule on

challenges to president arroyo reckon yachters controversial election victory last month for me to miller has more from nairobi. this is not the first time police have responded to large crowds of protesters with what rights groups are calling excessive force now amnesty international says police should stop using lethal force against opposition supporters today thousands of those supporters had gathered to listen to an address from a leader raila odinga on his return to the country after a visit abroad ending in these running battles with police the supporters of tried to make their way to the city center anticipating that address from the opposition leader was able to briefly address his supporters on the road after they were blocked from moving to the center of nairobi police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse them now amnesty international says police used excessive force

including live ammunition to disperse that large crowd four people have been at miti to hospital with gunshot wounds after the confrontation between these are opposition supporters and police police say they didn't use a live ammunition and that five people were killed after they were caught looting and according to police was stoned to death earlier in the day opposition supporters hadleigh tires and main roads and throwing stones at least so far various rights groups have said that between sixty and seventy people have been killed in protests that began. before august presidential election and continued through to the rerun held last month these protests taking place mostly in areas in the capital or in the west of the country with the opposition has a lot of support. japan has tabled a motion at the united nations to try to extend the investigation into the use of

chemical weapons in syria it follows last night's veto by russia of a similar resolution before the u.n. security council our diplomatic editor james praise is at the u.n. headquarters in new york james any sense that there are any closer to agreeing to the japanese resolution. well it all depends on the position of russia we had to vote in the last twenty four hours which both failed one on a us draft or a resolution one of the russian draft for a resolution russia used its veto against the us draft the u.n. trying to pick up the pieces in the last few hours because if they don't come up with something that passes something they agree to then the whole of the inspection effort the joint investigation mechanism which is first supposed to work out who is responsible for chemical weapons attacks in syria collapses that's why they say this is important not just for syria but for the whole effort around the world to

deal with weapons of mass destruction in recent years the world had come to the view that chemical weapons were things that were outlawed there would be. a great deal of action taken against any anyone that uses them but that of course all of that is now open to question if chemical weapons have been used in syria and no action is taken against people so a last compromise resolution from the japanese this doesn't solve the problem for good it just extends the current mechanism for another for another thirty days that vote the last chance i think takes place in just over two hours time in the security council many thanks james bringing us the latest from the u.n. . and in syria a car bomb has killed twenty civilians and injured thirty more and there as a province the attack targeting people at

a camp for internally displaced in the province is northern countryside many of the casualties were women and children it's reported i think is behind the bombing. and at least eighteen people have been killed there are strikes and shelling in eastern guta is the third consecutive day of attacks on the area which is part of a deescalation zone deal. agreed on by turkey russia and iran officials have canceled friday prayers to protect civilians in the area. iraq forces say they've retaken the last major eisel held town in the country troops faced little resistance when they moved into our on friday iraq's prime minister said the operation was carried out in record time iran has more from baghdad. iraq has joined operations command have announced that the iraqi flag is now flying in the center of the city has been liberated now this was an operation that began in the early hours of friday morning but the preparation had actually been taking place

since the eleventh of november when the operation to take the last remaining strongholds of eisel began the joint operations command were very concerned about civilian casualties and they actually told out there that we are waiting for the right moment to go in to try and keep civilian casualties to a minimum it is the end of as a caliphate as a state in iraq so we will be expecting probably the body to make a statement we don't know when that statement is going to be but he does face a challenge this might be the end of eisel as a state within iraq as i say but the root causes of the the rise of the group still remain the still a lot of anger. particularly to the led government here and so those are things that the body needs to address but this is actually being seen as a significant victory for the iraqi forces that flag flying in the middle of is very significant still.

during the five month battle for the city of. more than a thousand people have been killed and five hundred thousand. in the fighting. it is the first detailed human rights investigation into the five month long conflict in the southern city of matter we it killed more than a thousand people and displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians amnesty

international sent to team to land a province in the southern philippines to interview around fifty survivors and witnesses what they heard were stories of widespread abuse on both sides some of which amount to war crimes the amnesty report says members of a local group called them out they targeted christians the attacks were often brutal some people were shot at point blank range while others had their throats slit the philippine military also stands accused in the report it details accounts of civilians who say they were tortured by members of the marines after their escape from out of fighters some say they were held tied beaten and accused of fighting against the government the ago is one of the civilians from what are we who survived his story told to al-jazeera backs up the amnesty report but the mouth they beat us with their weapons and they made us wear black and told us to go

outside and forced us to steal food some of the women were raped when we managed to escape the military detained us for days we were tired and beaten up they accused us of being the fighters and this international also says the damage to the city is worth further investigation the group calls it unprecedented and questions whether the use of military operations was consistent to proportionality under international law. we're guided by the rules of conflict which provides for the city and proportionality in the use of force the war in we is the longest battle that philippine military has fought since world war two to fighters to control of several parts of the city in me and held more than two thousand people hostage them out to made no secret of their brutality it is highlighted in their propaganda but many here believe the philippine military

should be held to a higher standard the air is a protector of the people in this they are the ones who are bestowed with that fired up to be the protector of the people and the state and that's why we hold them to account because there eventually they are the military has been undergoing reforms for several years now the operation is being seen as a test as to whether lessons and human rights have been institutionalized accusations of human rights abuses committed by the state have been the cause of the grievances by so many muslim communities which in turn are being exploited by radical armed groups here many believe these grievances need to be resolved soon before the again push more people to take up weapons against the government jim duggan al jazeera manila the red cross is warning that one million yemenis are a risk of a renewed cholera outbreak because of saudi arabia's blockade of the country. the cities of her data and thais have run out of clean water because of

most of the inmates were aboriginal and your thomas reports. these are the shocking videos which sparked an inquiry into what was happening to children imprisoned in australia in one a boys strapped to a chair and put it another video shows a boy being picked up by a guard and thrown into his room much of the abuse happened here at the don dale prison for young offenders near darwin well over ninety percent of people detained here and elsewhere in the northern territory over recent years have been aboriginal earlier this year boys living in the territory told al-jazeera that among them the abuse was well known you know treated us differently. you like they've done their corner stuff and i've seen it with minorities and grew up you know your boys are going in and out of there it's like you know you know so good on friday after an investigation which is lasted more than a year members of a royal commission inquiry released their report and recommendations they said

they'd found shocking and systemic failures over many years which were well known and ignored at the highest levels the northern territory's chief minister said the failings were a stain on the northern territory's reputation we have been breaking our kids not building them up that has become increasingly evident through the royal commission hearings the report recommends the immediate closure of the don dale prison it says children under fourteen should only be detained for the most serious of crimes tear gas force and restraint should never be used on children and video cameras should be worn by guards to monitor their behavior but some worry the recommendations won't be enacted and don't go far enough saying so many inquiries make great recommendations then and nothing happened you know youth detention isn't working for these young people and we do need a paradigm shift the northern territory's government says it broadly supports the

reforms proposed in the report australia's prime minister. there are implications for how all australian states deal with the link with children this is a report into the abuse of children but in truth given that the vast majority of those in the northern territory in prisons are aboriginal this is also a report into the abuse of indigenous australians that makes its findings particularly sensitive australia has a dark history of abuse towards a so-called first australians under thomas al-jazeera. a large group of revenge refugees is on the move again trying to escape a military crackdown in ma'am hundreds are stuck in what's known as no man's land between miami and bangladesh this footage filmed in bangladesh shows refugees trying to get to cox's bazaar more than six hundred thousand were hand to have crossed the border since august. has more from cox is bizarre. hundreds of raw

get help or advice then i'll be able to go further this further means going beyond sudan's borders with help from smugglers but getting out is often much harder than getting into sudan because of a deal known as the khartoum process the sudanese government along with other african countries dealing with the migrant crisis struck a deal with a rypien union to keep them out as a result security in africa has been tightened sudan has deployed its paramilitary troops to curb the flow of migrants along its northern and western borders but because these forces are the same ones that were used to fight for both in darfur and other conflict areas in the country using them to stop human smugglers and traffickers comes with a lot of controversy the rabid support forces as the paramilitary group is called was officially formed four years ago created from sudan's national intelligence forces in there for the general weed as they were known by rebel forces were accused of brutality and violating human rights for their role in the darfur

conflict human rights groups accuse the group of work crimes but the head of the forces say they fight crimes not commit them but. we combat all kinds of crime was we are special forces just like any other force in the country which is easiest method to fight crimes and the border with libya is open and there are problems there so off orses patrol there the ease being criticized by rights groups for supporting sudan in anti migration efforts and for providing two hundred fifty million dollars which critics say helps force migrants into detention centers some analysts say the government using the rapid support forces for the mission was deliberate. the government was to send an international basij these forces joined just fighting rebellions because they fought off rebels the government wants to. give the group a national role to show you they serve in the interest of the whole country they were created as a fighting force forces that may be too tough to face with migrants who dream of

circulation has become a lot more dispersed now and this is the picture for saturday raining that's the less so but not entirely away from greece rather less so in southern italy to rest of europe is looking cloudy in places cold still a rainbow running through the low countries and starting or less at london but the ending south of that and it's a northerly breeze but not particularly cold particular if you stand in the sunshine now there is of course enough cold here that if you want to produce some snow in chairs over the alps that certainly happened otherwise the area of weather which might be cold enough for snow is really on the edge of you have takes you up through into moscow or maybe to sweden so this circulation then it's slowly weakening disappearing eastwards are a few showers around like inside in the gulf so for libya maybe touching the across the island of crete by the time we get to sunday it's still breezy but there are far far fewer sharon's.

for the city of moore always. the u.n. climate talks in bonn conclude in a few hours' time with delegates claiming progress in reaching key targets for implementing the twenty fifty paris climate meant the accord was signed by nearly two hundred countries in twenty fifty to curb carbon emissions and limit global warming to two degrees celsius it's officially goes into effect in twenty twenty and the joins me now live from boeing the certain delegates claiming some progress but has anything really been achieved. well we're actually right now very familiar holding pattern to me climate so you think everything's going very smoothly it's all going to get dealt with and then suddenly. she gets thrown into the mix and everything is delayed which is where we're at right now and the. nine point five which is the future of the adoption fund basically that's all about finance who gets paid what when and how getting that into the paris agreement and when it's

going to be negotiated is causing all sorts of problems his that's what the thrashing out right now we could go on not to make that happen but there has been good progress on fleshing out the so-called rulebook of the power scream and also this challenge which sets up a platform for nations to increase the ambitions of cutting carbon emissions let me bring in jenny he's from the pacific island climate action network from fiji. what do you make of what's going. to be there was going very well was there then suddenly this is happening and finance is a big issue very important issue to developing nations like yours indeed very important issue and i think developing nations are going to fight as hard as they can for it at the moment they're talking about the adaptation fund then the talking about. developing developed countries providing information for how they're going to fund the hundred billion and it's so important for us because verity filling in

fact spec home and we're already feeling in fact spare a problem that we didn't write and that's that's what this is about isn't it because if you want to have money to click. some would say it's actually just to pay for the damage because one of the things which yes there is and it's lost enormous finance that we really truly crucially because lost in them it is already being felt in the pacific there category five. sea level rise. we have villages that have been really. students going to school in tents it's. it's not easy for us living at home and adapting to climate change. that's been caused by those who don't feel it as much as looking for a home to come here and told that story or. story that must be so far removed from the streets of the city well. indeed and we think it's important to tell that story

so we can put a human face on this issue because a lot of the times we're only talking about numbers and it's important to show exactly who we are fighting for and what we're fighting for it's for us it's about survival and for us it's it's it's it's a reality live we live with every day but we're also leading by example so the story of the pacific isn't just a story of impacts it's a story of resilience took a lot of us one hundred percent renewable cook islands and to follow a promise to go hundred percent by twenty twenty fiji is still a villages commercials has a very ambitious and he sees so and fiji's the president of this cup and so we're not just talking we're taking action and we hope developed countries will follow and given and given the message see you through two hundred. people you spoke to do you think could not speak to this call to push the parents agreements will have to make a difference you. know it's enough isn't being done we need developed countries and

major polluters to move away from fossil fuels they need to keep fossil fuels in the ground and move to a safe and just transition to renewable energy their fossil fuels is our loss and damage and it's so important that we create some bishan and that we increase mitigation to ensure the survival of the pacific origin we will leave it there thanks very much indeed for sharing your story important story. thanks very much indeed so there you have it you get a real picture of the difference between the view of the rich nations who would rather not talk about this issue of finance and the need for the developing nations of poor nations to have money injected into the system to a try. to this new world of climate change that's nick clarke speaking to us from life from the climate change conference a water sources are drying up in many parts of the himalayas forcing many communities who've lived there for generations to move away is being blamed on a mix of deforestation climate change and the lack of water conservation but new technology is in immigration on now helping make the soil for tile again severe

distress to travel to nepal's remote summer chop district. these fields in the village of data around one hundred kilometers from katmandu were barren until eighteen months ago even though the single sure river flowed just meters away villagers had no way to access the water that's when so they should mandate he came to their aid he installed an irrigation system. when i first came here the store was so dry and crumbly that the only thing the locals could grow was two crops of maize bunder is a technician for a project run by no parts department of irrigation the department has been trying to find a way to irrigate more than four hundred thousand hectares of land in dhaka bhandari and his team built these tanks to store water from the river below but there were more problems to tackle this village didn't have electricity till three months ago and this massive solar panels were installed and these panels can be maneuvered

towards the direction of the sun and the direct current that it creates pumps the water to the tank there are pipes that connect the water from the tank to the village and gravity does the rest of the work it's hoped this technology can provide a solution to a growing problem the drying up of water sources across the himalayan belt even those scientists are wary of agitating this phenomena to climate change entire villages in the pile are in danger of being forced to migrate three portion and never. will eighty three percent of our land is in the hills and in the mountains most of the areas are not yet electrified we now know we can use solar energy to tap water there is a river nearby we have no problem but in areas where springs are drying up because of climate change we can start storing water during the rainy season whenever there is a deficiency we can lift up the water. the technology does not come cheap each sector

costs around five thousand dollars to irrigate but it's a one time investment and farmers like. i have seen their lives change in a very short time eighteen months ago margie says she was forced to work as a daily wage laborer now she has enough vegetables to sell and greenery around the village that has not gone unnoticed it's been a fresh houses they are damaged happy stripped in the power hunters from a night of states can now legally bring home the remains of elephants from zimbabwe and zambia provided they were killed on official hunts the jumper ministrations new rules reverse a ban brought in under barack obama as on the gallagher reports conservationists are not happy. over the last decade the illegal trade in ivory has more than doubled and the african elephant is paid dearly conservationists estimate around five thousand a year killed in african elephants remain in the u.s.

is endangered species list the restrictions on importing elephant trophies from legal hunts in zimbabwe and zambia have been lifted the u.s. fish and wildlife service a well regulated hunting helps raise cash for conservation efforts and seeing advocates of long campaign for the rollback and say the benefits are huge when you look at the dollars that hunting brings in. you're looking at funding for the conservation department in those countries most of their funding it does not come from the government coffers it comes from hunting among the trophy hunters are likely to be some of america's wealthiest including president trump sons they've hunted in zimbabwe in the past now they can bring home what they killed a shift in u.s. policy comes just days after interior secretary ryan zinke set up a council to look at the benefits of u.s. citizens traveling abroad to hunt in a statement the people for the ethical treatment of animals said if president trump

allows a baggage carousel to be filled with elephant feet and heads from corrupt zimbabwe he will fashion himself after its president robert mugabe who slaughters all in his path critics say allowing ivory coast feeds into the u.s. legally undermines hard fought campaigns to stop the trade pains previously spearheaded by the united states and gallacher al-jazeera. and joining us now from paris is dane waters president and founder of the conservation organization the elephant project thanks very much for joining us on al-jazeera this decision has created a storm on social media but as we just heard there is still a very pro hand hunting say that it's only that the hunting puts money back into conservation and keeps the numbers of these animals at the right level what's your response to that. well first of all it's the most outrageous decision been has been made by the trump administration the reality is that the amount of revenue that is

generated from these hunt is miniscule to the amount of money that these countries could generate by adopting what we call a humane economy where ela live elephant is of greater economic value to the country than a dead one i mean it's been proven time and time again that a live elephant is seventy six times more beneficial economically to a country than a dead elephant so what's happening is this is just an opportunity for these very wealthy hunters that supported the trump trump presidency to basically get a payback because there's no benefit to the elephants and there's no benefit to the people in those communities and it's one of those just needs to be overturned really does how much of a backward step is it to put an image of hunting it seemed to be with the ivory bans and really people moving towards banning this kind of behavior and not thinking x.x.l. sibel to hunt these amazing animals how much does this make a difference to the success of campaign well it's a it's a serious issue because as yours just said i mean people have been taught and told

that you must protect an elephant at all costs so if the united states is now allowing and saying hey it's ok to hunt these endangered species that sends a message not only in our country but in zambia and zimbabwe that hope it's ok if the american public thinks it's a good thing to do that it must be a good thing to do and so i think it's a tremendous step backwards into all the wonderful work that has been done by the conservation elephant protection groups out there how afraid she would be about the elephant is on the endangered species the african elephant how how much of a worry is that how do the statistics and the numbers. well i mean two thousand and fifteen was the first first year that the number of elephants killed out there were higher than the number of elephants that were born and so that disparity continues to happen there is a rapid reduction in the number of elephants that are still living and what's happening what a lot of people don't think about is that in these hunts if they go after the bull elephants and the bull elephants typically have more ivory this is a greater impact to elephant hers than anything else you could have you know three

thousand female elephants but if you destroyed and killed all the male elephants they can't procreate which is why you're seeing a drastic decline in the number of elephants that are being born they want to thank very much for joining us announce their banquet to get your thoughts. negotiators from the u.s. mexico and canada are in mexico city to discuss the north american free trade agreement and this fifth round of talks one of the big issues on the table is corn is mexico's top agricultural import from the u.s. but some say american varieties are damaging mexico's rich corn heritage julie galliano has more from just outside mexico city. corn is as much a part of the story of mexico as yes ticks and the arrival of the spanish conquistadores first developed here thousands of years ago small scale farmers like i rely on it to make a living but also view it as
