if you were in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships. somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world but the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china at this time just you. know what. this is al-jazeera.

allow them to live with donald this is the news hour live from london coming up. can the republican shunned by many in his own party ride away with a crucial alabama senate seat despite the accusations against him. as the french president warns that we're losing the battle against climate change we look at the plight of trauma does come with polar bears. and the children's cries getting worse as medical surprised windell in yemen's struggling hospitals and we want to the sports teams in the russians all going olympic officials in moscow say they will sanction russians competing at the winter olympics under the neutral for . a very warm welcome to the u.s. states of alabama is voting in a closely fought senate race just signed into

a test of president donald trump. influence republican candidate roy moore arrived by horse to cast his ballot in the city of gallant he's hoping to beat democratic candidate doug jones despite facing accusations of sexual misconduct against teenage girls when he was in his thirty's this indorse more even though many other republicans shun them. roy moore is a social conservative famous for his hard right he said america was last great at a time when slavery existed and the homosexuality should be illegal and muslims should not be allowed to serve in congress as a judge she was twice removed from alabama supreme court for failing to comply with winnings is made rival doug jones is a former us attorney best known for prosecuting two kook klux klansmen who killed four black girls and nine hundred sixty three church bombing. is live in the city of birmingham alabama for us hi there patty so what's also tonight been like. hey

there julie well if you can watch you for the last few hours you know i'm taking a little bit of a tour of different polling stations here in birmingham alabama this is my third one at across the board each one all of the judges inside say turnout is really very brisk just how brisk let me put this in perspective for you an off year election special elections basically years that the president is or isn't running that many americans vote most of the political analysts when it came to this election they expected maybe twenty percent of eligible voters to come out and vote well here in this polling station they say already and the polls are still open for another three hours three four hours excuse me more than fifty percent of eligible voters have shown up in already cast their ballots and they say a lot of them are young people who've never voted before now on the surface you would think that might look good for doug jones obviously democrats tend to pull in the younger people but the fact that so many people are voting shows you that this

isn't just a research about. it's not just about the u.s. senate it is more broadly about the direction of this country at least that's what one voter i spoke with today had to say. i think that it has been a momentum building up since last year were some of us feel like what in my opinion the worst could possibly happen actually happened and we have someone unqualified to be leading this country and now as an alabamian i'm tired of being embarrassed by what people perceive about us and roy moore is sort of the perfect pinnacle of everything that people think about alabama everything that people think is wrong with alabama that were backwards that were homophobic that were racist that were islamophobia so passing the. their what it was all about for alabama but i wonder what does it mean for the party itself for the republican party. well you know it's interesting i had

a chance to talk to doug jones briefly with one of the voter stops today and i asked him what would it mean if you lose this election and his response was well that's a silly question so he didn't really want to weigh in on that but if you look at the direction the republican party you're seeing the establishment republicans many have come out and said that this is beyond the pale this is a candidate roy moore who has criticized and said. really incredible things about women african-americans muslims publish sexual zx he's really across the board targeted almost every group that's not white male or female so there are a lot of republicans who said no especially when these allegations came out that many as nine women said that he either salted them or had a relationship of sexual nature with them when they were there teenagers want to show this fourteen that the republican said we're not going to do this this is not who we are the president though has endorsed him so the question is what kind of republican party are we going to see and this race will very much depend and determine what we see in twenty if more and more wins that it's going to embolden

all of these far right conservatives to run for the house in the senate if you lose as well that's a message as well but we won't know for a couple of hours but we're getting closer. to kill him now live from birmingham patty thank you well let's speak to political analyst eric hamm who wrote the the g.o.p. civil war inside the battle for the soul of the republican party he joins us live from washington d.c. i'm sorry very warm welcome to the program i wonder what the results of this special election might mean for that insight battle that you have written about in your book. sure and actually it was senator lindsey graham who said today win or lose this is a loss for the republican party and actually i would agree with those sentiments and take it a little further and say win or move the internal battle going on within the republican party will continue to rage on i think if war and more wins this race

tonight i think the steve benen wing of the party will see them sit will see this as a vindication and will continue to fight against the establishment and then if they lose i think we will see them continue to fight on i'll be it i think they will be a bit diminished but make no mistake about it this fight within the republican party will continue and i think we will begin to only see it really take hold as we move into the midterm elections and twenty eighteen and erick should move or if he does when expects warm welcome. well actually i would actually compare it to send a rollover and how she was treated by her stepsisters if worn more wins this race he will be unwelcome within his own party and of course with democrats we saw a long time serving. alabama senator richard shelby just say a couple of days ago that he is not supporting roy moore he already voted and he

made public that he did not cast a vote for roy moore so we do know that he will not be won't come within his own party and that will go a long way in terms of what it means not only for president chomps legislative agenda but what about the things that if he is elected that the majority leader mitch mcconnell would like to corral democrats around remember they are holding on to a very slim majority so mitch mcconnell is going to need every vote that he can get and given how the establishment sees roy moore right now i don't think it's a lock that he will be in support of the party on many of the issues that they're going to be looking to tackle going forward namely welfare reform and some of the other issues and so i think this is going to only just make the situation particularly within senate democrat senate republicans that much more toxic going forward if he wins this race tonight so erick this is kind of being billed as a referendum on trump why. well because

donald everything is about donald trump and donald trump has made everything about donald trump and so and then of course donald trump is all in for roy moore we know that he backed luther strange during the primary and strange last and so now president trump recognizes that his agenda is holding on by a very very tiny thread and so he needs he needs this he needs to hold on to this seat he needs roy moore in this seat to ensure that his agenda has any type of chance of actually passing through the congress and so if he loses tonight then yes many will see this as a referendum on donald trump because donald trump is invested in roy moore he has gone on and for more if he if he loses you know it will be a blow to i think his his invincibility particularly with his base big because we

know that it is donald trump the base that has carried him thus far and that's what they're expecting to carry more more and more through tonight is this base and if he doesn't win many will think that the base is no longer with president trump and they can that live from washington d.c. eric thanks for your company thank you. now french president manuel has delivered a rallying cries for world leaders to do even more to fight climate change but it's all the global summit in paris that they're currently quote losing the battle earlier hundreds of protesters gathered outside the pantheon in paris demanding an end to government investment in fossil fuels the summit in paris was aimed at encouraging greater worldwide investment in clean energy. a civet we're not going fast enough if we carry along this path we've committed to limiting the temperature rise to one point five centigrade we're having two or three or three point five centigrade it's so far from what we committed to when i say that we are losing the

battle i would like you to realize that behind me are heads of states and governments and in fifty sixty or one hundred years five ten fifteen of them will be here in america where the has more of the world the u.s. has played with in the conference. well one thing's for sure and that is that the u.s. president donald trump wasn't here he wasn't invited in fact after he decided to pull the united states out of the paris accord and in fact that was one of the reasons that the french president emanuel my car i decided to host this summit along with the world bank and the u.n. it was really to say look the united states may be out but it doesn't mean that the rest of the world is not in and united in trying to fight climate change is not to say either that they want many americans here scientists researches c.e.o.'s bosses even celebrities we saw other threats and i guess the actor was speaking a short while ago and what many of them are saying is that even though we might not

have the white house on board there are people at every level in the united states who are working hard to fight climate change so that some governors of states all at the public themselves or c.e.o.'s as i said in fact that was the message when we spoke earlier to the former mayor of new york michael bloomberg and the governor of california the u.s. president's basically federal government's basically irrelevant under the obama administration president one law of the clean air act which has been tied up in congress so nothing came out of those eight years and nothing's going to come out i don't think from the trump years we have floods we have droughts where we didn't and that's true around the world and all of a sudden you see people moving out of northern africa because they can't feed themselves crops aren't growing so you go around the world there's lots of things that a sane person would say wait a second something is wrong and it's irrational not to try to stop it we are

mobilizing national jurisdictions and well. so his republican colleagues are growing a totally different direction with the grassroots major states of america we are taking action and the people through the american press. corporate leaders are doing so. for washington to wake up i think there's a sense that it's a reenergized of people's commitments to the agreement made in paris or two years ago and there's no doubt it really has thrown the focus on the need for finance the need for money if you are going to fight climate change because you know it was here in paris two years ago that we had two hundred leaders come together and promise to try limit to the global warming to less than two degrees celsius now those promises a wonderful it was an historic agreement everyone got very emotional about it because there's the sense is here that two years on not enough has been done not

enough progress has been made and there's a real acknowledgement that what is needed is more public and private money to really make things move forward more investment in green technology and much more sustainable development become should become more of a priority for companies for businesses for governments and for everyone and that's really the message at the end of this summit. well animals often bear the brunt of climate change with many species seeing their numbers dwindle melting sea ice means kind of this point then spending more time foraging near human settlements daniel lak reports from churchill manitoba where from here to us from to see them migrating their hunting grounds. in all terrain buses known as tundra buggies you can see polar bears where they live on the gusty snow covered permafrost of northern canada these expeditions aren't cheap but for those prepared to pay and brave the cold a sighting of these magnificent creatures is almost a sure thing so these vehicles have gathered in front of two male birds that look

a big shortage in medications and equipment and also there is a lack of specialist doctors that means we have to refer some urgent cases to sign up and in most cases they die on their way. in a country experiencing the worst cholera outbreak on record and where millions are on the verge of famine hospital staff say they're also seeing cases of severe acute malnutrition diptheria and more and i'm sure that for the. most recently we've noticed malaria cases of malaria have started appearing we've also started seeing cases of dying a fever as well it's no wonder parents are having so much trouble comforting their children unless we said it's that he said with a laugh that when he was sick he had diarrhea continuously in the end it was due to malnutrition and from then on we've been here to give him imagine to get pharmacy sit nearly empty and supply rooms like this one are close to bare but it's hope for

sent flames shooting hundreds of feet into the sky and the blast was heard more than forty kilometers away this photograph taken from neighboring slovakia baumgarten is one of europe's main gas distribution hubs handling four hundred billion cubic meters of gas annually fire crews were quickly on the scene. when the first units arrived here baumgartner there were already huge shooting flames it became clear very quickly that this had to be a gas explosion because the enormous heat six for the buildings caught fire they were completely aflame that's why two hundred fifty firefighters were needed to bring this fire under control the bank guard and gas hub is the main entry point for russian gas into austria and onward to italy slovenia and croatia more than one hundred million cubic meters of gas every day is distributed through baumgarten and its sudden closure has caused an immediate and significant price rise in wholesale gas prices with implications right across europe. because of the blast is being

described simply as a technical fault but the consequences for europe's gaston shimmers are significant and complex italy has declared a state of emergency more than thirty percent of its gas supplies come via baumgarten and the timing could scarcely be worse if you were to describe a worst case scenario for the european gas markets today this would be it we have this huge explosion abound gratin which is cut off all gas supply from russia to austria and italy we have the closure of two very key feel. as in the u.k. north sea because of a pipeline leak which is is really putting pressure on the u.k. gas system on top of that in norway there is a incident at the troll field which is europe's biggest gas producing field and all of this on top of the first real cold snap of this winter in europe so you couldn't have actually described a more difficult time for all of this to have happened on the markets the gas

bia walk would up the warhead has more now from tripoli. these images park at outreach around the world african migrants at risk of being sold at auction in libya the accusation of modern day slavery triggered international concern and pledges to address the issue but in a report by the human rights group amnesty international european governments are accused of not only being aware of these abuses but also actively supporting libyan authorities in a stopping sea crossings and preventing the refugees and migrants from leaving what we have in libya is really a hellhole. for it's a lawless country to start with and refugees and migrants are treated like a commodity we heard about. slave auction just a week or two ago and here we are so essentially any migrant a refugee is pretty much criminalized italy has been singled out for criticism it's

accused of leading e.u. efforts to fund libyan detention camps train libyan coast guard to intercept ships carrying a few g.'s and migrants as we'll as encouraging libyan tribes and armed groups to operate as border guards amnesty also from those prevented from leaving libya face arbitrary detention torture forcedly will extortion and even death at the hands of the authorities traffickers as well as armored groups no european government official can claim to be unaware of what the libyan authorities are doing the kind of torture the kind of horrific suffering that people are facing inside libya so i think the approach of the european union is in order to protect their own borders they're ready to push people back at any cost and not respect even the basic rights of human beings alleges iraq has reached out to the government but it has yet to

respond libya is the main transit. point for refugees and migrants trying to reach europe by sea nearly half a million people have made the dangerous crossing across the mediterranean over the past three years according to the ins migration agency in that time close to him thousand people have died while attempting to make it to europe for whom the provision of ships training and funding from the e.u. and italy to the libyan coast guard amnesty found the number of arrivals to italy fell by nearly seventy percent between july and november compared to the same period last year the number of refugees who died at the sea also refused but it is not clear what future awaits is to me to twenty thousand migrants and refugees now in overcrowded and unsuited to re detention centers across libya mohamad abdalla

head jazeera so probably a european commission spokesman said the e.u. is aware of the inhumane and terrible conditions some are facing and was working to save lives in a statement said we do so by stopping people drowning in the mediterranean accurate in them from disastrous conditions in libya and offering them safe and legal pathways to come to europe situation is not bad because if you it's slightly better because of the. thousands of african asylum seekers and refugees in israel are facing deportation after a bill was passed which allows the government to force the law also refuse to go will be imprisoned and attention center which has as many of them is also said to be kills within months harry foster explains that tel aviv. salaam says she doesn't want to live in israel any more but leaving would be worse the neighbors have screened off the comical entrance to her television apartment keeping her and other african residents out of sight this year a new government policy saw her and her husband lose twenty percent of their

salaries only to be returned if they leave israel they've both been imprisoned in the native eritrea returning there they say would be impossible the alternative rwanda unsafe i don't have any choice i'll go out again i cannot or i did that because they're slightly. sorry i want to be in get whether he kill me. i don't want to go back to africa that choice jail or a third country widely thought to be rwanda is precisely the one israel's prime minister is now presenting as government policy benjamin netanyahu recently told cabinet colleagues that he'd secured an international deal allowing for enforced deportations of more than thirty five thousand africans. it would also speed the closure of the isolated hole out the tension center in the southern negev desert thousands of african migrants have been sent here in what campaign groups call a deliberate policy of making their lives as miserable as possible even running at maximum capacity how it could only house about ten percent of the african asylum

seekers in this country this policy these announcements are much more targeted at those who live in communities like this part of israel's open policy of trying to force them to leave so mom says she was brought to israel against her will by people smugglers extorting her family she's found work as a translator at advocacy group a soft asylum application has she says gone unanswered since it was filed two years ago and it's not the only one they slowly if it is what israel has the right and a duty to say you is a refugee and it is not however israel still hasn't done so we definitely say that not every sudanese or it deserves the status of refugees but the issue here is that out of forty thousand of them only ten have been recognized as refugees israel's prime minister defines the rest as illegal infiltrators his reported deal with the rwandan president would see israel pay five thousand u.s. dollars to rwanda for every deportee accepted and a horse game when we are here on

a mission and the mission is to give southern tell of the back to the citizens of israel israeli government itself deliver the migrants to this already deprived neighborhood but now it remains their precarious home where the message only gets louder with every repetition they aren't welcome here sorry for said tel aviv israeli authorities separatists gaza's fishing zone from one nautical miles down to six palestinian fishermen says say that it leaves them with a very limited area against anything until ernest smith has more now from gaza. so when gaza's fishermen go out again this afternoon they'll be restricted back to a maximum of eleven kilometers offshore for the last six weeks or so they've been allowed to go out to sixteen kilometers the israelis say that allows them to take advantage of seasonal changes in fish stocks but of course the fisherman would really like to be able to sail out up to thirty seven kilometers into the

mediterranean to allow them to take advantage of the bigger fish that are there and that was the limit suggested by the oslo accords but israel has never allowed garza's fisherman out that far. if they go back to the oslo accord to allow that zone then of course the fishing industry will improve one hundred percent the further out we go the more fish we get and it's seasonal every season we need access to specific zones for example now we need twenty to twenty seven kilometers to get this season's fish including sea bass which is very expensive so thirty three only at sixteen kilometers at least there are lots of rocks where we can find lots of different fish at eleven kilometers it's empty we're wasting our time when we go fishing if they open up to thirty seven kilometers they'll be a significant difference there we find all these expensive fish then we make a lot of money high unemployment in gaza has pushed more men to look for work in the fishing industry they're trying to find a job where they can at least try and make ends meet so there are now about four

thousand fisherman and a thousand fishing boats that's far too many for these crowded waters it's led of course to fishing depletion of fish stocks and of depletion of breeding grounds and there's no indication from israeli or barges that when they are likely to extend again the fishing so the gases fish. palestinians in the occupied west bank continue to protest against the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital in the city of ramallah israeli forces fired tear gas to break up demonstrators throwing stones have been violent confrontations across the uk by territories since u.s. president donald trump's announcement last week. they condemned by world leaders with many accusing trump of damaging the middle east peace process. well in television will israeli arabs protested i'm inside the american embassy trump has ordered the offices to be moved to jerusalem several members of the israeli

parliament attended the rally along demonstrators who waved us to flax. continues to demand the release of its journalist what hussein has been in an gyptian prison for nearly a year he's accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera strongly deny what has repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail was arrested on the twentieth of december also visiting family first set of russian troops to withdraw from syria have returned home on monday president vladimir putin claimed military victory in syria and the once a partial pullout but is in a hotter reports from beirut many say putin's announcement has little military significance and is more about sending a political message. there are porters of syria where the war rages on but russia's military intervention has given become of the upper hand on the ground and it has given moscow an influential voice in deciding syria's future. president

vladimir putin is claiming military victory on monday he announced a troop drawdown while visiting a russian base in syria it wasn't the first announcement of its kind and in the past military operations didn't stop. i wonder if this is not a withdrawal says russia is keeping its air and naval bases and putin did say if terrorists come back we will strike them so that means russia's military strength is still present in syria. what up. many have downplayed the military significance of putin's announcement some believe it was a message to the united states which recently suggested that american troops could stay in syria after the fight against. there are an estimated two thousand troops there and the u.s. administration now talks about a new goal saying that those forces could help set conditions for a diplomatic solution. this is a political decision it's starting to ask the international community to pressure

the united states to withdraw its troops from syria russia is bothered by what it sees as the illegal presence of u.s. troops. the syrian government has accused the us of coming up with excuses to buy a presence in the kurdish controlled north east. the u.s. has been marginalized diplomatically a military presence on the ground gives leverage in future negotiations but russia is pushing for a separate peace process of the united nations it wants to host what is known as the syrian people's congress that will bring together the government and the opposition early next year. but there are some who believe putin's withdrawal and now is meant was also a message to his own ally russia is being pressured by the u.s. and israel to curb iran's growing influence in syria. the message to iran is that there is no need for you to stay permanently in syria there's no need to further expand your presence the big military operations are over i did stime

for a political solution. military operations are winding down but the battle for syria is not over. beirut. kenya's president who are called for unity. for dialogue with the opposition kenya also made the comments as he led celebrations in my will fifty four years of independence his first public was sworn in as president last one after an election. that's. the future is now it is about a healthy nation built on equal opportunity for all dignity for all eyes on the pursuit of material prosperity for all as i have stated the full and i repeat as president of kenya i am willing and commit to engaging all kenyans and all kenyan leaders including my one of the
