brought welcome to the news great beirut riyadh and now paris the latest twist in sari restrains journey levanon prime minister has held talks with the french president on the crisis point by his sudden resignation is not to deny widespread allegations that he was forced to quit and held in saudi arabia against its will really says here we turned eleven on soon we'll have a live report from paris and beirut also on the grid a jubilant scenes and a rare show of defiance on the streets of zimbabwe thousands are marching to demand president mugabe's resignation days after the army cease fire and place a longtime leader under house arrest it's a watershed moment for a country where for so many years fear has held back people from speaking out but it's change on the way and no food no medicine and no help from outside four hundred thousand syrians living in the hospice in the suburb of ghouta are completely cut off they've been surrounded by government forces for the past four

years because their town sided with the opposition as a siege conditions worsen dog. actors warn many could die if they're not immediately evacuate nonrandom home and there's a growing movement to solve a slave trade in libya after new pictures and of asylum seekers being auctioned off but at the response on social media and what people want world leaders to do next connect through a season the hash tag aging is good. at it with the news grid live on air and streaming online three you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com it's one of the most mysterious and potentially dangerous stories to come out of the middle east in recent weeks what exactly is happening with the prime minister of lebanon saad hariri he arrived in paris early on saturday morning and has since held a meeting with the french president emmanuel mccall that's two weeks after his sudden resignation during

a visit to saudi arabia while back in lebanon many from different political factions of united in calling for his return harry reid says he will on wednesday to attend independence day ceremonies in beirut but his promises have not stopped lebanese shia and sunni politicians alike including the president from accusing saudi arabia of forcing harry reid's resignation they say it's a saudi attempt to isolate hezbollah the shia movement and political party who really is coalition government in the hopes of curbing iran's influence in the region saad hariri arrived in paris with his wife but left two of his children back in saudi arabia he thanked president mccall for his support and confirmed he would be returning home so. with regards to the political situation i will be in beirut in the next few days to take part in the celebration of our independence and i'll express opinions on all subjects once i've made president. so we'll be speaking to zena harder in beirut in

just a moment but first tonight was in paris for us natasha the french president has stressed that he is not offering political asylum to saad hariri what's come out of the talks between the two leaders today and what can we expect this french mediation to achieve. what i was assured between the french president and saud hariri off to his hariri made a very brief statement he praised him at all mark calls a diplomatic efforts and he did confirm or whatever whatever one wanted to know which is when is he going to go back to beirut he says he will be there on wednesday for the national public holiday that he will meet the lebanese are present and then only then will he make clear what happens next what he didn't talk about was why he had left two of his children behind in riyadh because when he touched down earlier today here in paris he was with his wife is an older son who's

studying in london travelled over to paris yesterday evening but two of his children left behind in riyadh as fuel speculation that perhaps is not as free of his actions as he would like to make out now according to at least a source is really says that this is just a family matter where it was their choice to leave behind these two children but of course many people here are wondering exactly what is going on right and you know for france it must be a very difficult balancing act natasha isn't it the french have been involved in the crisis from the beginning but they have good relations with lebanon they also have good relations with the saudis and you know somewhat good relations with iran as well. well what present micro has been doing is using what he says is france's position and you've pointed out good relations with all sides to try and get a dialogue going to talk to all sides to deescalate this course is nobody wants to

say it's a blow up into something bigger the idea is to try and keep some form of stability in the other way that is why president michel says he's become involved also of course france has historical ties with lebanon and that is why he's put himself forward now there's no doubt for him as a new and very young presence in france has been an opportunity to perhaps make his mark on the international stage and he seized the opportunity thank you very much for that natasha butler live for us in the french capital paris s. now check in with zain a hoarder in beirut zaina saad hariri has said he would return to beirut in the coming days for independence day celebrations on wednesday and he said he would clarify his position what are the expectations and what do people make of what the lebanese prime minister said in paris. well really lebanese from across the political divide have been sending one message to saudi arabia that they want their

prime minister back so now he is confirming that he is coming back and he's saying that he's going to clarify his position now there are a lot of scenarios what could happen when he meets the president he could insist on his resignation if that happens of course there will be a political vacuum in the country it will be very difficult to replace him because if you replace him with a sunni figure who is not accepted by all parties and especially a sunni figure who seemed to be close to iran then lebanon could be isolated internationally because they would see this as an iranian backed government now it's sad oh how d.d. insists on holding discussions on some sort of a compromise to return to the situation it was before the sudden resignation where there was this an easy partnership between hezbollah and heidi and government well that will be welcomed by many and in lebanon because that would avoid a further instability and tensions or he could take a more hardline approach and say the only way i'm going to stay in this government is if hezbollah is not part of this government so really a lot of scenarios people are quite worried because it is really uncertain times

a comment here from one of our viewers zainab harajuku who says as long as saddam really is children are in saudi arabia is not a free man and cannot be expected to talk freely as natasha mentioned two of her not accompany him to france and they have stayed inside your a.b.n. this is raising of course a lot of questions about his actual fates. yes speculations have not been put to rest the lebanese as well as the president what have they been demanding he leaves saudi arabia with his family well he left with his wife but not his children how do these aides are saying that they stayed behind because they're attending school but many very very few people are actually buying that line we were in a neighborhood a some new mainly sunni neighborhood which is considered a how to be stronghold here in beirut and some people said you know they dismissed this and said no he is a free man but the majority of people we were talking to were saying otherwise they were saying and one way or another he could still be a political hostage he may be forced to do what saudi arabia wants to do saudi

arabia really has lost a lot of support over recent weeks people were angry they felt that you know they robbed them from from their leader saudi arabia robbed them from their leader and that this move will not help them that it will marginalize them even further the sunni community feeling that they've been marginalized that iran really dominates this country and what happened his resignation only hands lebannon on a silver platter to the iranian government so yes people are still asking questions why haven't his children left i mean what sort of deal was struck between the french and the saudi government for how to to to leave so those speculations have not been put to rest then harder in beirut thank you very much for that zena and you know suspicions over harry restraint of even cause a diplomatic dispute between saudi arabia and germany that's been playing out online it is here to tell us more about that and some some very strong reactions folly that most of the online conversation has been about this week from the prime minister hariri himself i quote he says to say that i am held up and sergeant ray

we are not allowed to leave the country is a lie i'm on my way to the airport to mr sigma gabriel hurry posted this tweet when he was about to leave saudi arabia for paris and it's interesting because it's written in english and as you can see all the other recent tweets from his official account and are written in arabic. likely also because he was addressing germany's foreign minister said my gabriel who made this comment. let me make it very clear that i share this concerns in recent days we have tried to make it clear through our contacts with neighboring countries that we expect prime minister hariri to be able to return to beirut we welcome very much the invitation by the french president to prime minister hariri to come to parse this would be a clear signal that his movements are not limited just. and there was a strong backlash to that statement the hashtag gabriel the liar has been used thousands of times but mostly from saudi arabia and down analysis shows that those

tweets are coming from a lot of fake automated accounts a tool that we use called trends map you can see behind me he she gives a search of what we can find on twitter and with the main house records show you know gabriel the liar and then it shows you both up to pretty score of seven which is really interesting because like we said it's something we don't normally see using this app called trends map but the saudi ambassador to germany has been recalled over gabriel's comments and so some of the tweets may be fake but the negative reaction is still very real and there are of course those who say that despite the trip aboard her e is on the saudi control and i mean while iranian media also reporting that's going to paris harry is on parole they're actually highlighting the fact that he left to have his children in saudi arabia and the conversation about hariri isn't really just about his trip they also other threads from various lebanese uses

including this professor amal saad she says that western countries have been hypocritical in condemning saudi arabia for allegedly detaining hariri when they were so silent for so long on the war in yemen back to folly thank you very much for that rihanna and lebanon is not the only country in the region where found eurabia has been accused of interfering and destabilizing there's also yemen where two and a half year war has brought the country to the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe a brocade imposed last week by the sound led coalition has made the situation much worse marianne honda has this report. these machines are slowly cleaning this man's blood and keeping him alive a saudi led coalition air strike left him without any obvious injuries but the trauma and the health problems came soon after. it all started when my husband lost his eyesight after

a few days his health continued to deteriorate when we had to make them and we found his kidneys had failed that he needs kidney dialysis three times a week but at this hospital in the who controlled capital of summer patients are lucky to get even one treatment resources are dwindling food and fuel prices are soaring so not as within the estimated sixty percent of human that's under who control and did some to see each. suffering here we've been denied delivery of medicine as we call on the world to look with mercy on the yemeni people and put an end to our eyes every start by opening the closed borders and deliver medical supplies. for twelve days yemen has been all that cut off from the outside world a blockade imposed after humans who see rebels fired a ballistic missile deep into saudi arabia the blockade was designed to choke the alleged flow of weapons to who three roubles from iran but it's increased the

hardship for millions of human knees a majority of whom need some sort of assistance the saudi led coalition says aid can get in through what it describes as liberated ports it's partially open to the government controlled port of aden in the south but none of the points of entry are in areas under control that includes the airport in the capital sanaa and to the port of who data through which the bulk of all aid is delivered. withing covering the war in yemen for two and a half years now but here's an idea of the impact from just the last twelve days seven million people were already on the brink of famine without any kind of aid getting in the u.n. says that number will rise past ten million the cost of the saudi blockade is being measured not in care but in the number of lives lost one hundred fifty thousand of them that's how many male nurse children the u.n. says could die within the coming months if the book aid isn't lifted completely.

the u.n. says vital supplies will run out in human within the next few weeks the blockade is a calculated move by the saudi lead coalition a strategy that needs time to take effect time that for the people of yemen is fast running out. al jazeera and of course yemen isn't the only calculated move that's been made by saudi arabia with crown prince mohammed bin salman the forefront of the decision making there are many other controversial decisions the saudi government has made in recent days absa focus of attention at an international conference in london former diplomats and middle east analysts are attending the event which is called crisis in saudi arabia war succession and the future al-jazeera child is at the conference for us in london he joins us now live tell us more about who is at this conference and what the objectives are. so far this conference host the former leader of the liberal democrats party in the u.k.

as well as. other significant figures including former ministers from the tony blair government and other experts experts in the region including saudi arabian opposition figures and essentially they're focusing on what they believe to be a sensitive. crossroads that the kingdom finds itself in with regards to how it is being governed how it is being pushed in terms of following a specific agenda which they view to be stabilizing stabilizing rather the region one of those who is at the conference is the right honorable is the former minister for international development in the labor government under former prime minister tony blair and i want to start by asking you in terms of how you assess the concentration in saudi arabia why do you think this conference is so significant and why should people care about what's going on inside arabia. there's

a lot of people living in saudi arabia is a lot of repression and. the whole region and the suffering in the region is getting. with the palestinians for a very long time but now widening up to the iraq war and syria and the whole thing he's dangerous and human suffering so any development in the region. change and progress will make things worse and i think people want to discuss with experts. in saudi arabia likely to lead to progress or is it going to make things worse and the general view of the experts. is that not reform. really. govern in a similar way to in the past there will still be lots of poverty and inequality and saudi arabia is going to get closer and closer to israel when you were minister

your government huge deals with. economic goals in the hundreds of millions. of bridges being one of the closest allies. throughout the time until now human rights organizations have constantly. repression of women personal free speech for person of media and so forth. we have never heard a british government come out and forcibly condemn what's going on there's a change in where we have for example how we have with other countries like iran or even some african nations as well why is it that the united kingdom and the british government refuses to deal with the saudi government in the same way it does when it comes to others. and this is successive. in the one nine hundred sixty s. . to corrupt arms deals in saudi arabia. much of the public record.

deals massive corruption both within saudi arabia also payments back into the u.k. and britain seems to close its eyes to all of last and just go running after. a no i think britain want to break away from it as the corruption is so clear and selling arms that might be used for the war in yemen is intolerable and there's a growing voice in britain saying this is got to stop but i fear that because of brics it britain's going to feel more and more isolated kill more and more tightly to the u.s. which in turn trump has been so saudi and all these changes saudi israel than ever before so shaming itself people in britain are more and more critical but i don't think it's going to change soon i'm sorry to say thank you very much for your time well that is one of the main calls that has come out from this conference is that the united kingdom as well as other western countries that

have been arming for so long have to stop selling weapons to riyadh because of the i.q. solutions' level don't riyadh in terms of committing war crimes particularly in yemen but also because they believe that these changes that have come about under the patronage of mohamed been sort of man that is the crown prince was they've been celebrated by some as some sort of liberalization or modernization others believe it to be as mr schorr just pointed out there is a power struggle or an attempt to gain control of all aspects of power in saudi arabia thank you very much for that child live for us in london and don't forget if you have questions or comment on this and other stories we're covering on the news great today you can connect with us on facebook live facebook dot com slash a.j. news greg you can also connect with us on twitter our handle is at a.j. english don't forget to use the hashtag a.j. news greg you can also. the numbers coming up on your screen very shortly it's plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine all the different ways to get in

touch with us on your screen right now. now to zimbabwe where tens of thousands of people have turned out on the streets of the capital harare demanding president robert mugabe step down the state run broadcaster says the country is now free and liberated as crowds have been streaming towards gabby's official residence the protests were told by the influential war veterans association and mugabe's own. body is certainly a dramatic fall from grace for the embattled leader who is in and been in power for thirty seven years the zimbabwean army took power a few days ago and the president has since been under house arrest live to. who has been at the protests for us all day in harare i see that things have been calm and now in the but certainly we've seen some very jubilant scenes on the streets of iraq today which were unthinkable in the past in zimbabwe tell us about the mood and what people have been telling you. it was an extraordinary day

a lot of the bubbles are saying they never really expected to see but one that's happened the fact that it is possible because of the guy they may actually be going a short while ago some soldiers came out onto the sea whether people were marching and they said some journeys can be long this may not end in one day so go home where there's something to announce we will tell you but we saw extraordinary things we saw people moving with soldiers thank you as soldiers for liberating them from them a god as they said it was a peaceful peaceful march lots of people but a very peaceful march the only vandalism we saw posters and banners outside was an idiot hit quarters and the some street signs robert mugabe's street sign was torn down but it sends a clear message to the prism of garbage that a lot of people in this country want to march and pressure does seem to be mounting and you know the comments we've been seeing on social media harel people feel very hopeful about the future in zimbabwe zimbabwe as has been reaching out to us but

it's still unclear when or if one of mugabe will actually step down. exactly it is very very clear the people who are here were hoping to get here and something to day and it's now clear that they may not hear anything at all what we know is that the a lot of negotiations going on behind the scenes and we know in the next couple of days don and pete members will be meeting at the party headquarters they would be akin to a committee meeting out loud to the possibility of the president and the meca could be taking to parliament i mean some people think that this could actually drag out into the game a conference with a chemical that. by vote with the phrase. in harare extraordinary scenes today in zimbabwe thank you very much for that let's bring in radio once again and a huge conversation online about these protests in zimbabwe unprecedented what

we've seen today in zimbabwe and some much jubilation folley like i said as i say already said just full in the streets right now but also they're posting pictures of themselves at those anti mugabe rally on social media many saying that it feels like independence day and it's a huge conversation online with of a ninety thousand tweets and fifty thousand ring tweets some of the key trending words right now with the hash tags are mugabe must go with a coup solidarity marsh this flag zanu p.f. and many others now the past and activists evan mari way saw it at the this flag social media movement last year and then it was considered the biggest anti-government protest in the country now has called on zimbabwean citizens to take a stand in response to military takeover and make their voices heard this was earlier in the week he said this video from the march today. incredible journey.

i'm looking. on social media has played a significant role in mobilizing this march despite the fact that zimbabwe actually has a newly appointed minister on cyber security and the organizers have called on zimbabweans who live abroad to get involved and people have marched in other cities in fullaway or were a mix of civil rights organizations churches as citizens were streaming in and it's also gone global we saw marches taking place in johannesburg cape town and south africa with her and namibia and also in london in the u.k. we also heard from ten to chat say he's at the solidarity march in london. to be.

a most ways have a saw is the need to unite and with this tweet from trayvon he says that mugabe mugabe's time is up and zimbabwe has spoken we are spoken sagada no black white or indian just zimbabweans interesting picture they can see a nice mix of people together gathering. however not everybody was in support of this march this year just says it wasting your time this is africa remove leaders by the ballot box you don't leave because you protest. and another said this he said it was great potential to trigger a crisis with great loss to lives let's cancel this demo but we also heard from zimbabwe's while well known zimbabwean publisher this is traveling he tweeted a play about what's could happen next and he says their world we are fully aware of

the possible risks and pitfalls beyond this tipping point and we're confident that we will be equal to the challenges we remember egypt two and after thirty seven years of repression allow us to soak in this moment so are you marching today with not to get your thoughts to send in all of your opinions and whether you think this is historic connect with us using the hashtag age and use great or less to me directly i'm afraid i'm home and run and i think you and for all the latest updates on what's happening in zimbabwe check out this page on al-jazeera dot com we've got a timeline updated developments all the reaction analysis it's all there on al-jazeera dot com i've been watching us on facebook remember that controversial oil pipeline between canada and the united states from a leak say two to learn more and still ahead on the use grade for the bridge protesters in haiti step up the pressure on president. who they accuse of even live in the floor we'll be live from port au prince in just

government leading to this angry rebuke from the u.s. ambassador in a world in which the council's time and attention could be productively devoted to one hundred different things russia is wasting our time conflicts are raging outlaw states are acquiring nuclear weapons the human dignity of millions is violated every day brutal regimes are using chemical weapons on their own people this was russia's reply new warbird linnaeus a middle and extension of the gym's mandate for us is possible only a fundamental flaws in its work are rectified this was probably the last chance to save the international investigation tasked with working out who was responsible for chemical attacks in syria but it follows two rival resolutions both voted on on thursday both of which failed to pass their been frantic negotiations ever since

to save the syrian investigation known as the joint investigation mechanism or in un speak the jim. jimmy say absolutely to be frank i don't think. but i much so that jim is dead. i think it was that just the. u.n. officials including the secretary general have been following the negotiations closely the secretary general can with jim be saved. try to solve the problem. they failed and although some are calling for further negotiations many diplomats believe that the investigation mechanism created by the security council has now effectively come to an end there are implications for the wider fight against weapons of mass destruction and possible repercussions for the political talks on syria due to start in geneva in just over

a week james. at the united nations and in syria four hundred thousand people living in the damascus suburb of go to have been besieged by government forces for the past four years the area sided with opposition fighters so that meant that food aid and medical supplies haven't been making it into the suburb doctors there say many residents could die if they're not immediately evacuated alge there is a sob in java reports from gaza near the turkey syria border. the. twelve year old raft the first from cerebral palsy a condition which inhibits her brain's growth the room is dark because there isn't much electricity in eastern glitter this is what she looked like before the siege and before she ran out of medicine her mother used to give her honey milk and other nutritious food but not anymore. and there are no raf used to be well and was going to school until there was a lack of food and medicine my husband can't work and because of the high prices we

can't afford much. that's been the case for the last four years after syrian government forces besieged the area which is home to four hundred thousand people this is the most popular dish these days while corn. for larger families a con broth for the luxury of salt for those who can afford it. the assad government has allowed in some aid but the u.n. says that is only enough for around ten percent of the besieged people this year the syrian regime approved around a quarter of united nations requests to deliver assistance the u.n. says the plight of civilians is an outrage and that it might constitute a war crime. the lack of food and medicine have forced more people towards hospitals in july doctors identified four hundred fifty two patients who still need to be evacuated as united nations await approval from the assad government nine of them have died faced with delays twenty nine among them were identified these are people who have one hundred percent chance of survival if they are not given care

so they will die the situation is so desperate that after operations doctors need to reuse the single use items on the table what's regarded as medical waste everywhere else is sterilized and used again in the same duma. these cues might be useful in saving another life the later gloves which hospitals throw away are limited here so they are washed before they can be used. then they need to be laid out to dry because they don't know if and when more supplies will come in the use powder to make sure the gloves don't stick together. the staff say they're also saving other single use medical supplies. we clean them because the supplies aren't available here and the not coming in with u.n. aid will also stop some surgeries because of a lack of anesthetics here and say there is no food or medicine for the starving

and sick children. leave their infants to suck on their thumbs. they'll think. of a job. now to haiti in less than a year on the job protesters are calling for the new president to step down have been demonstrations in the past two months against thousands more people on saturday are expected to voice their opposition to the new budget a new budget many say will have the greatest impact on the war let's go live to port au prince correspondent to resubmit there for us to resign magine a lot of people already behind you as i can see big protest planned today what are we expecting what are people telling you. the special here because it's also the anniversary of the battle of thirty three and pave the way towards haiti's independence from france and it's also

a day where the new. expected to reinstate the haitian i mean let's not forget that about a month ago the united nations mission here with. the haitian national police but now by the army and that is something that is mourning in many of those who are pressing here today and that's why they're protesting they're not only protesting against the security forces in the country that have committed serious human rights abuses in the past but also against the country's budget that they say benefits the rich and in a way the country sport. apologizes. this is just beginning this begin to get much bigger later yet we've seen reports of you know impunity and new violence to reset between police and haitians what are people feeling about the security situation in the country.

this are changing times for haiti in very challenging times because as i said before for thirteen years this country was kept together by a foreign force the united nations troops were in charge of security here and now is a new beginning a new beginning that the haitian national police is in charge and the new army is in charge let me tell you that we just arrived earlier this week we were able to. report on an incident that happened here where several inoffensive millions were killed during an anti-gun operation by the haitian national police and that's something as i said before that is warning people here. to start which was the united nations force here was replaced by just a supply mission that is supposed to support justice in haiti and what worries people here is that that mission is going to be able to keep security forces in check during the demonstrations in the past few weeks to research we've heard you know some people calling for the president driven armories to step down he's only

been in office for one year what has been his record so far. well what we're seeing is that almost every two weeks there's big demonstrations here planted mostly by view opposition planned mostly by a party that's jumbo trons very street party and they've been complaining they're asking for the president to step down a precedent that was elected with only twenty percent of the people's participation in the country and that's what they're saying that the current administration is illegal that expecting a binding a budget that is benefiting the rich and hurting the poor it's a budget that is expected to pay a lot of depth but is not going to help the suffering of this country those who have been affected by the earthquake by the hurricane and they're struggling every day and that's why they're here today and that's why there's taking to the streets today thank you very much for that theresa ball live for us in haiti's capital port

groups already. talking to. the country so. easy it. would be difficult now to try to blame someone for the contributions come in the country are cracking up it's like a bull market and you know many people don't realize that the migrants who are in libya i in fact just in transit there and he when rights abuses by traffic is there and detention guards have been documented over the years in libya this is nothing new here but yet nothing seems to change there is no improvement why is that what do you think can be done in libya and elsewhere to improve the conditions of these people. well i realized that it was not just a transfer of this mission but. market. last year. two . elements to tell this story was trying to find out.

a six month long investigation into usa gymnastics earlier this year to complete cultural change saying enough had not been done to protect children a separate investigation published just yesterday in the washington post also found that on average eight adults connected to an olympic organization in the united states are accused of sexual misconduct every year that averages to about one every six weeks. sexual abuse has been a big topic recently in the united kingdom as well dr jane caldwell of the university of bournemouth spoke to us earlier saying athletes have always been vulnerable i think you know if you look at it from a sociological point you know i think sport is an institution in society like religion like military like family. and education employment and politics and i think we're beginning to realize that within those institutions in

society there are power dynamics and there are people in positions who are very very powerful and some of those people abuse that position of power and instead of looking after young. young people that are vulnerable they're. using their situation and using their status in the wrong way. i think investigative journalism and media exposure has been helpful that we've seen in the last twelve to eighteen months and that it's been taken seriously and i think people that have come forward are actually. heard. and there's. activists groups and pressure groups asking for their voices and their stories to be taken through legal channels. and you know i

think there's a kind of movement now to woods and willingness towards addressing this whereas previously. people have been particularly one to criticize school and school and coaches following the law and prosecuting. is. done quickly i think that's a really good first move and i think those in positions of power who have the authority to shape the culture and practices of sports so you know leaders managers coaches and they need to be held accountable in terms of the measures they put in place to bring perpetrators to justice and to prevent future. let's finish up by looking at some of the day's other top trends in sport arsenal is definitely on that list after beating north london rival taught them how to be
