give them more independence and freedom schools are going to little is a tomato exploration process. we are about certain knowledge available to us. this tour onal jazzier. abandoned by the state social collectors are occupying space is either monk the people a military architects working on the edge of the mill. in the first episode of rebel architecture some of the. trolls al-jazeera into the realm of building in spain. you really can't say at this time and i'll just zero. zero.

zero this is a news hour live from al-jazeera is headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the evidence is undeniable the weapons might as well have had made in iran stickers on iran denies it but the u.s. says it has proof tehran is supplying arms to who the rebels in yemen. a big. missed opportunity the latest round of syria talks and with no progress negotiators that blaming each other for the failure also this hour the us pulls the plug our next neutrality we'll explain what this could mean for millions of internet users in america and chile's presidential candidates wrap up their campaigns just days ahead of a tight runoff election we're live in santiago. thank

you for joining us the united states has presented what it calls undeniable evidence proving iran is violating u.n. resolutions and supplying weapons to who the fight is in yemen the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley at an invitation only news conference showed charred parts of what the pentagon says is any rainy and made ballistic missile it was fired from yemen last month that saudi arabia's international airports outside riyadh iran has called the allegations unfounded irresponsible and provocative and denies supplying weapons to the whole fees saudi arabia is demanding the u.n. security council hole tehran accountable iran's prohibited from supplying selling or transferring weapons outside the country unless it's approved by the security council a state department correspondent rawson jordan reports. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations because hailey traveled from an institution devoted to diplomacy to a military base on thursday to point the finger at iran the trumpet ministration is

accusing tale of illegally supplying weapons to groups across the middle east explosive boats drones in khiam short range ballistic missiles haley told reporters she was standing in front of one of those alleged missiles these are the recovered pieces of a missile fired by who the militants from yemen into saudi arabia the mess is the missiles intended target was a civilian airport in riyadh. the november fourth attack on the riyadh airport is one of the many clashes between the saudi backed government and hooty rebels trying to conquer the country and the attack is mentioned in the u.n. secretary general's latest report on iran's compliance with the nuclear deal but official saying that mention is not a confirmation there's no conclusive evidence about the provenance of those missiles but you can read the report for yourself yves. before the prose conference

was over the iranians rejected haley's charges these accusations seek also to cover up for the saudi war crimes in yemen with the u.s. complicity and divert international and regional attention from the stalemate war of aggression against the yemenis that has so far killed more than ten thousand civilians displaced three million crippled yemen's infrastructure and health system and pushed the country to the brink of largest famine the world has seen for decades as the un has warned the swedish ambassador to the un told reporters he is concerned the u.s. is trying to find new reasons to scrap the iran nuclear deal as far as i mean informed that agreement is being implemented by iran on the nuclear issue now we would be very happy to discuss with american and others you know the broader role of iran in the region analysts say while checking iran's behavior is important the trumpet ministration is taking the risk i would hope that there would be more

evidence put forward in general and for that matter for the bastard really sick obviously it's important should get such claims to have evidence evidence for that haley made it clear the u.s. is doing what needs to be done for the sake of national security you will see us build a coalition to really push back against iran and what they're doing well i warning to tell han at least for now on supply jordan al-jazeera washington and joining us now on al-jazeera israel as a mirage who is research director at the national iranian american council his live from washington thank you very much for being with us they are those like the iranian foreign minister who say what we heard from nikki haley at the u.n. echoes the bush administration's buildup to the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three would you agree with that do you think the foundation is being laid for a military confrontation with iran. well i think this is one of many

steps that we've seen that is that are troubling precisely because it has similar components it's had similar characteristics cherry picking intelligence from a u.n. report that was far from conclusive is exactly what nikki haley did today and that's the same kind of cherry picking that we saw in two thousand to two thousand and three by the bush administration in the run up to the iraq war so we have to be diligent about this how do you see the shifting alliances in this region playing into all of this there's no question that the region is in flux and it's been in flux really since the in america's invasion of iraq in two thousand and three and what we've seen now really since the trump administration has come into office is the first american presidential administration to accept full scale unadulterated the saudi emma roddie israeli view of what security in the region should look like and that's why you see a trail of tears spanning from yemen to qatar to lebanon on to iraq and to syria so

really we need to take a step back here and focus less on military potential solutions and feeling that diplomacy deficit that exists in the middle east as you say what we saw and heard from nikki haley at the u.n. is certainly the latest in a series of actions the trump administration has taken to raise international pressure on iran what do you think will happen if the u.s. pulls out of this iran nuclear deal with other countries follow suit like france and the other countries that are also part of this scale. well every country that are part of this deal except the trumpet ministration has reiterated multiple times its desire to stay in the agreement and see its full implementation over the duration that was agreed upon in two thousand and fifteen should the trumpet ministration decide to unilaterally withdraw from the agreement then it will be what federico the e.u. foreign policy chief described as isolated and that's not

a position that any country wants to be in when it's trying to build coalitions like nikki haley talked about earlier today reza marashi thank you very much for speaking to us raise a mirage from the national iranian american council he was joining us there live from washington thank you for your time and a missed opportunity that's how the u.n. special envoy for syria is describing the latest round of geneva talks which ended with no progress so far and the mr a blames the syrian government negotiators for the failure of the eighth round of political talks the government is accusing the opposition instead david chaytor is selling those developments in geneva the eighth round of negotiations and yet another failure for the united nations in geneva the syrian government's team refused point blank to meet face to face with the opposition counterparts they say no talks will be held with the opposition as long as this insists on present ourselves removal from power. the opposition has

presented us with a new position and has imposed preconditions on the talks in geneva these come from their handlers on the other side the un's mediators steffan de mistura couldn't hide his frustration he said courage was needed to win the peace a big missed opportunity. i golden opportunity at the end of this year when in fact dirty there a clear indication by many sides that the military operations are coming to occlude the leader of the opposition delegation though was equally forthright pinning the blame for the failure squarely on the shoulders of the team from damascus. of the world the regime has refused to record talks refused indirect talks refuse even the agenda put forward by jimmy stewart is rejected everything it means the regime rejected the peace process after nearly seven years of civil war in syria with the death toll now stretching beyond four hundred thousand and with millions of

refugees force on the home now is the time to find a new initiative behind the scenes talks are underway to find a method to revive this peace process but ultimately the solution lies in the hands of two leaders in washington and moscow david chaytor al jazeera geneva. for iraqi citizens have won damages in london's high court after aid concluded british soldiers had illegally detained them before subjecting them to crawl and inhumane treatment this comes just days after the international criminal court declared there was a reasonable basis to conclude british troops had committed war crimes in iraq and has more. well in his judgement here on thursday the high court judge ruled that all four iraqi claimants were abused by british troops one of will be awarded forty five thousand u.s. dollars in damages he was found to have been beaten by british troops and

subjected to what are called harsh interrogation techniques including having insults and personal abuse shouted at him being deprived of sleep and also being made to wear blackened out goggles and ear defenders jury his interrogation the judge said that those kinds of practices were routinely used in iraq at that time despite being illegal now all of those claimants will receive monetary damages a total of almost a thousand cases have been brought by british lawyers representing iraq he's now around a third of those those cases have been settled already out of court but there was still over six hundred cases remaining unresolved including the four that were judged on on thursday and it's expected that this judgment will actually set

a precedent for some of the other cases because there were similar legal issues at stake and it's clear that beyond this there is the possibility of cases against british soldiers in iraq going on for many years because just recently the chief prosecutor at the international criminal court in their hague said that there were reasonable grounds to believe that there were abuses committed by british soldiers in iraq. to the u.s. now a net neutrality rules protecting open internet access have been repealed by the government the changes could mean large corporations can pay internet service providers to prioritize their websites and even block their competitors explains. opposed to the repeal of net neutrality rules in the u.s. and making their voices heard on the streets of washington protesters in the end were not loud enough to sway the vote of the federal communications commission your

a difficult visit for south korea's leader. unlike the a few superset should have forded president donald trump five weeks ago the welcoming ceremony for moon was decidedly low key his relationship with his host president xi jinping has improved but remains on easy in spite of their differences the specter of conflict on the korean peninsula has brought these two men together mr made no secret. does not want war. want a peaceful and diplomatic solution to north korea's nuclear missile programs so does this time china and assaults corns have common language the principal point of friction remains south korea's decision to deploy a united states and missile system in response chinese tourists boycotted south

without borders says their estimate is conservative and the actual total is likely to be far higher we have published the most conservative figure we had its. and if you look at the surf a.v. did it's interviewed more than twelve thousand people which were randomly sampled from a full fellatio of six hundred thousand we have heard stories of complete families which were killed so we believe that yes this number is what we believe is the lower range and our saying it's actually higher in reality the doctors without borders report states that at least nine thousand rohinton died mostly violently in iraq and state between august twenty fifth and september twenty fourth. some of these atrocities according to the refugees we talked to are committed by military by police by local military forces and nation if that will and we still talk to people who have just arrived in the last few weeks who are still tilting about's
