2:08 pm
i'd use that word the door would have slammed shut but i describe the situation the riots that no one should be excluded citizenship to allow me in my private meetings to go further i was very very satisfied with the discussions i was able to have well the growing number of ranger escaping to bangladesh has exposed the darker underlying issue at refugee camps in cox's bazaar they don't see say young ranger women are being sold as sex slaves people trafficking is common in the camps where we have sought safety for decades child stratford has this report. to them is not a real name we call her that to protect their identity. the fifteen year old ranger refugee says her mother father brother and sister all killed by a multi shell find by the myanmar military at a village three months ago she says after she escaped by boat to bangladesh two women approached her on the beach saying they could help her instead they sold her

2:12 pm
as soon as possible we can't continue like this you know going to you know i think if he was good because that way there would not be any crisis in the country and one must respect the confusion because really what is happening in a country is a terrible crisis when is enough from monrovia apolo has more from to. the night hours have closed in the city of they were we are now in a nationwide curfew and things have quieted down especially compared to just yesterday when riots broke out and demonstrators clashed with security forces a wave of looting and violence has really swept the country amidst this political crisis and the response from military police has been the use of tear gas and rubber bullets and people here are still very anxiously awaiting a decision by the national elections committee it's been over a week since the general elections and still no decision now in response to this violence one hundred military isn't forcing a nationwide curfew a strict six p.m.
2:13 pm
curfew that restricts some constitutional rights for honduran citizens but it also means that anyone out past six o'clock is subject to arrest now the concern here remains that the longer the elections commission stalls on this decision the higher the chance that violence could spark up again. all right still ahead here on al-jazeera the new leaders for germany's far right this is it looks at the strength of inside the parliament. i'm turning a page reporting from cape town on the world's first successful heart transplant which happened fifty years ago in the spring. hello there we're seeing a fair amount of unsettled weather over the northern parts of age at the moment a lot of this grayness is just the satellite misinterpreting the cold weather we're

2:17 pm
is facing as well as crisis in decades with the blockade of cuts of cut it has this report. kuwait has been the mediator in the gulf diplomatic crisis that began in early june the country is now getting ready to host a meeting of the gulf cooperation council invitations have been sent out to gulf leaders but it's still not known for sure who will attend since the beginning of the blockade on couple of kuwait's emir. has attempted to end the dispute in october he warned of the potential collapse of the g.c.c. if the crisis continues many analysts agree this is i think the middle quite. of the crisis actually for a long and we are going to see probably two blocs within the g.c.c. one is led by saudi arabia and it. will actually have. to a lesser extent probably kuwait. so we'll be having been to see
2:18 pm
a lot of that one asked on saturday about the gulf diplomatic crisis at the international mediterranean dialogue conference in rome called those foreign minister schiff mohamed when i come on a sunny said it was important for countries to work together you need to reach a level of understanding going security principles that everybody is going to appoint and everybody should and should be committed to and then from there we've been. on it on the next system for a lot of the cooperation the foreign minister added that the gulf region is collective security had been threatened by the measures taken by the blockading countries i think the saudis that he is involved. with this is something qatar will not do about it has made it to any of many times a by the by other companies often show that they cannot actually accept a thought that they want
2:19 pm
a negotiation they want. concessions by all sides actually to solve the crisis the blockading countries of saudi arabia the you. hereon and egypt have accused cutout of supporting terrorism maintaining cordial relations with iran and meddling in the internal affairs of their countries allegations the company government has strongly denied other maintains there is no legitimate justification for the actions taken by the four nations calling their decision a violation of its sovereignty the last time father played host to a gulf cooperation council summit it was in two thousand and fourteen back then no one could have foreseen this kind of crisis now just three years later the g.c.c. may have arrived at a defining moment on the cusp of a hugely important summit that many observers believed would not be happening this year. well let's hear now from shell has more from kuwait city. on monday the foreign ministers of each of qatar saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind in on mon and kuwait will meet to set the agenda for the summit
2:20 pm
itself which will be convened or is meant to be convened by the leaders of all those countries however there is doubt whether for example king solomon of saudi arabia was and or the leader of the united arab emirates anything short of the deputy leaders of those countries so mohamed bin sandman of saudi arabia or mohamed inside of the united arab emirates if there if those countries decide to truce to send somebody more junior them there. and that would be seen as far as the core it is are concerned is an insult to them that would also cost even more doubt in terms of the future of the g.c.c. and what it would mean is that even though the g.c.c. summit does indeed take place it wouldn't really be a full or a proper g.c.c. summit as expected because those leaders wouldn't be present. india has opened a new trade route to afghanistan that bypasses pakistan by using an iranian port the first phase of the port in iran was inaugurated on sunday india is investing
